藝界人生的「時時刻刻」

2005-09-23 00:39迴響:14點閱:7071

   且不論藝人澎恰恰罹患憂鬱症的消息真假為何?但是細數演藝圈證實罹患憂鬱症的藝人還真不少,最近熱戀的大S和仔仔、孫翠鳳、蔡頭、自殺身亡的張國榮、倪敏然,都受過憂鬱症所苦,接觸許多藝人之後,我更加體諒他們的辛苦,在演藝圈打滾,紅不紅都有不同的壓力,前陣子重看了「時時刻刻(The Hours)」這部探討憂鬱症的電影,感觸很多。

   看過「時時刻刻」這部電影的朋友,反應很兩極,我個人覺得很值得看,由好萊塢3大巨星妮可基嫚、茱莉安摩爾、梅莉史翠普共同演出,獲得金球獎多項提名,妮可基嫚也因此得到金球獎最佳女主角獎。

 

  這部影片故事的描述分3段進行,1923年的倫敦知名女作家維吉尼雅吳爾芙(妮可基嫚飾演),本身是個情緒不穩定,敏感、脆弱,甚至時時刻刻都想要自殺的女性,她在作品中總想著如何讓女主角死亡,而她最後也選擇了自殺來結束生命,不過吳爾芙的作品也影響著不同時代的兩個女人。

 

  1949年蘿拉布朗(茱莉安摩爾飾演)是一個懷孕的家庭主婦,她為了她丈夫的宴會忙得不可開交,但是她又深深著迷於吳爾芙的小說「戴洛維夫人」無法停止,蘿拉出現明顯的憂鬱症現象,尤其是她計畫自殺,為了腹中胎兒而打消念頭;在21世紀的克勞麗莎(梅莉史翠普飾演)也正要投入一場重要的宴會中,這是她的一個飽受愛滋病之苦的作家朋友所舉辦的。3個女人之間牽扯出不可思議的關聯,並深深影響著彼此的生活,作者和導演都巧妙地運用了文字和電影語言來為觀眾作解答。

  

  憂鬱症與癌症、愛滋病被世界衛生組織(WHO)視為新世紀三大疾病之一,憂鬱症屬於情感型精神疾患中,單極性疾病,患者會有情緒低落、失眠或嗜睡、無法專注、反覆想到死亡等負面思考,根據統計,全世界約有3%罹患各類憂鬱症,其終身盛行率也高達15%,也就是每6個人中就有1人會有罹患憂鬱症的可能。

 

  日前姪女跑來問我,她的朋友得了憂鬱症,一天到晚嚷著想自殺,「據說」正在就醫治療,做為朋友該怎麼幫助他?研究發現,87%自殺死亡的個案生前患有憂鬱症,有一成五的憂鬱症患者死於自殺,如果朋友已經透露出自殺的念頭,除了幫他找到好醫師之外,傾聽是非專業的親友最好的作法,我聽過許多嫌煩、認為會說「我想自殺,就不會去自殺」的人,結果痛失親友,後悔莫及,我告訴我姪女,能幫忙的時候,盡力做。

用電影可以來瞭解人性與疾病 也是我對醫學生教育的一部份

在珊卓布拉格主演的片子"永遠愛你" 係一次大戰時美作家 海明威參戰時故

事 其中一幕為飾演護士小姐的珊卓為年輕海明威腿傷 換藥的情況

從換藥動作的細膩 與兩人眼神交接時的觸感 我告訴醫學生 醫學是一門

服務"人"的專業 喜歡與人 相處 樂於與人溝通 幽默 風趣 達觀 健談的人

才適合當醫生 研究並非不重要 然而對從事醫療業務的醫師 用"業餘"

時間去做 Basic study 比當年筆者在美時之約翰霍普金斯醫學研究所

的實驗室 人家是三班 24小時 不分假日 晝夜 日夜努力以赴 拼命去做

結合團隊力量加上政府充分財力支援 才能有些許成效 若兩邊___

臨床醫療及基礎研究 不是三頭六臂 就是兩邊都做不好!!!!

誠如當年公費留考口試 藍教授消遣我的話 : 你沒有那麼多的精力的!!!

Dear Jen:妳那篇文章真的很值得大家細看,如果能夠翻譯成中文,讓其他進入這個部落格的朋友都能更清楚的分享,真是美事一樁,君子有成人之美嘛!我想Dr.yc、熊子一定也同意,對吧!

快快,大家一起幫我遊說Jen,感謝各位大德。

re: 藝界人生的「時時刻刻」

Dear yc554018 and 熊子,

關於這部電影悶不悶的問題,我個人站在熊子這一邊 (sorry yc554018)。
除了大家演技都很好,Nichole Kidman把維吉妮亞沃夫演得像到恐怖之外,
整部電影真的就像鬱悶劑。
不僅內容悶,還把看得人都弄得很悶 (真是厲害)。
我也看了原著,老實說我比較喜歡原著。
我深深覺得電影在改編時失去重心。
不過個人不是電影評論專家,以上言談純屬我自己主觀的感受。
每個人看電影感受不同,評論喜好也不一樣,
我覺得看了高興就好 : )


Dear Author,

謝謝您費時間看過我的post,
請不要說這是大作。
就如之前所說,我對電影評論很外行,
對憂鬱症又更外行。
post貼上後隱隱有班門弄斧之憂,
因此十分感謝大家指教。


本來說要譯成中文,
但是大家都了解我的淺見,
也給了很中肯正面的建議,
所以我想同樣的論調就不需要再用另一個語言贅述。
我想,還是請大家把焦點放回文章中心,
討論討論憂鬱症的症狀,可能成因,治療方面的資訊。
我想大家身邊都有曾受憂鬱症所苦的朋友,
所以此類消息對所有讀者都將有所助益。
謝謝。

re: 藝界人生的「時時刻刻」

以前我以為憂鬱症是要受到重大打擊才會變得憂鬱.可是後來一個朋友開始憂鬱,還要吃藥看醫生,走到一半發現自己恍神身處忠孝東路某個路口被人按喇叭,她說她想從至少八樓以上跳下來,跳給很多人看,可是又不敢,像有兩個人在體人拉距

結果也不是為了什麼大事,是私人家庭問題,在我看來問題很小,可是對某些人來說卻大到足以觸動憂鬱神經.以前我覺得那些成天喊死的人要死就去死喊半天吵死人了.後來才瞭解原來這些人是生病了,需要旁人的幫忙

re: 藝界人生的「時時刻刻」

Dear Jen:很仔細的閱讀了您的大作,誠如Dr.yc所說,我藉由這部電影來探討憂鬱症,主題與焦點全部放在如何幫助憂鬱症的朋友,我並非忽略The Hours影片中,探討女同性戀的內心掙扎,很感謝您的文章補足了這部電影的精髓。跑醫藥新聞的過程中,我接觸了許多同性戀團體,比起一般人,對於追求性自主的同性戀者,我有更深刻的暸解。
我非常同意您所說的,這個社會還容不下他們的性取向,需要更多的輿論來導正錯誤的觀念,您的用心我盡心參與,希望我們的努力可以讓這個社會更懂得尊重別人的生活。

Dear熊子:很感謝您分享了您的故事,在這個自私自利的社會環境中,還是有人願意為別人(尤其是生病的人)付出關懷,很窩心,也很令人感動,不過我很忌妒您星期五的下午腦子就可以不工作了(哈哈)。

Dear Dr.YC:感謝您的回應,很榮幸也很高興我曾經採訪過您,對於Jen的文章,我跟您一樣都很感動。

re: 藝界人生的「時時刻刻」

To 熊子:

Come on,"The Hours" is not boring at all.It's full of passion and destiny.

I also read the original novel (in Chinese translation). There was seldom a movie so faithful to the original novel in my impression.

To Jen:

Your comments was so nice as I mentioned before.

The author focused on "depression" rather than " lesbian or homosexuality" in this particular article.I am a doc treating majorly incurable diseases. Sometimes I was so frustrated to see that we spent million dollars and hundred days and enormous manpowers to save a person with illness;on the other side, to see many young healthy lives gone in few seconds from an accident or suicide attempt. I am especially worry about the mass(or group) suicide of persons encountered in webs.The new pattern of communication turns suicide into an infectious disease. Where is the antibiotics to this contagious disease?

You promised to post the Chinese translation of your article,I look forwards to seeing that ASAP.

re: 藝界人生的「時時刻刻」

星期五的下午,my brain's not working...

Previous post: the placement of "That is NOT right " was funny; it's meant to refer to the way our world views homosexuality. A lousy job of cut'n paste - sorry.

In case any of you were wondering what the HECK I was talking about... :p

Have a good weekend, y'all.

** 剛剛忘了說,很少看到美國影片那麼*悶*的,一般都是外語片或者是大陸片會較常見。 不過裡面的主題情感豐富,讓人看了很難過,心情沉悶,而三位女演員的演技也真的不是蓋的...

re: 藝界人生的「時時刻刻」

Yeah, I saw "the Hour" as well and totally agrees with what Jen was saying about the theme of the movie. It was indeed about homosexuality... and it is difficult not to see that, given our society's prejudiced, hypersensitive view on the issue, what homosexuals must be enduring day to day from their mere existence in this world. The movie did a great job in portraying that feeling, and I do not think it is at all exaggerated.

Though not a member of that league, I have a couple of people very dear to me who are. I wish them happiness.

That is NOT right.

Nevertheless, our comments, along with 嘉莉's final words in the article, do seem to align and I am at least glad to see there are still people like us who are passionate about lending a helping hand to those in need.

Sorry that I side-tracked, but I can't agree more to what you said about:
"如果朋友已經透露出自殺的念頭,除了幫他找到好醫師之外,傾聽是非專業的親友最好的作法,我聽過許多嫌煩、認為會說「我想自殺,就不會去自殺」的人,結果痛失親友,後悔莫及,我告訴我姪女,能幫忙的時候,盡力做。"
以前有與一個有憂鬱症的女孩交往過,從他的身上,我看到不屬於常人的脆弱與未預知性; 但也就是因為她,我才知道,一個以為平凡的我,竟然有強大的能力能夠延續生命,讓她繼續有活下去的動力。 分手多年後,女孩已經訂婚,病也好多了,我們還是很要好的朋友。 我永遠不會忘記她訂婚那天對我說過的話,"我會永遠珍惜我們的友情,因為你是我生命中對我最好的人"。 :)

re: 藝界人生的「時時刻刻」

Dear Author,

While I am glad of your usage of "The Hours" as an example of a film portraying the sufferings one might undergo due to depression, I am surprised, as well as disappointed, by the fact that you have not included any hint that this movie is, in a very large part, about lesbians.

The three female protagonists in "The Hours", Virginia Woolf, Laura Brown, and Clarissa Vaughan, are all women who are dissatisfied in heterosexual relationships. Virginia Woolf was known to be a lesbian lover of another British writer Vita Sackville West. Laura Brown is constantly haunted by the emptiness of her seemingly perfect marriage, and struggles with her desire for women. Her despair and helplessnee finally drives her to a complete withdrawal from her heterosexually-based family. And finally, Clarissa Vaughan, is undoubtedly an open lesbian living with her partner. All three women, at some point of the film, kiss another women, dropping the ultimate assurance that female-to-female longing is a significant element of this film.

To say that the characters' depression symptom is caused entirely by their sexual orientation would be a blind mistake. One's desire does not render one crazy; it is when desire is permanently oppressed, does one feel the insufferable pain, particularly mentally. Especially we have the sharp contrast between Laura Brown and Clarrisa Vaughan. The former lives in a period during which homosexuality was a forbidden taboo, while the latter is fortunate to be facing a more open society, in which she has had the chance to choose a different option than the one promoted by social majority. It is exactly the lack of option that drives Laura Brown into utter despair. She has love and longing for women, yet such desire, during that period, has little hope of being fulfilled. Such destitution is a major factor of her depressed behaviors, while Clarrisa, who has established a family that she fits in, shows nearly no symptom of depression.

My point in writing you this letter is to show my concern of the omission of this film's lesbian theme, especially it is so crucial in understanding this movie. If we are living in the world in which the minorities are fairly represented, than such omission would can be deemed as a careless mistake that does not worth mentioning. However, we are not that fortunate. Today, our society looks at lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgendered people with a sickening curiosity. Whenever a negative news is related to gay people, the media heats up and tends to conclude the wrong-doings as a result of homosexual practice. And, whenever a positive note is accomplished by gay people, it is neglected by the media and hidden from the populace. Therefore, it is ridiculous that we try to overlook the heavy lesbian context in "The Hours", especially when this film does not portray lesbians as crazy psycho killers, the only image we see about lesbians these days on news paper.

I truly hope this letter does not undermine my appreciation for your mentioning of "The Hours". My only intention is to remind you, as well as the readers, that we sould not overlook the lesbian theme in this movie, and we sould undertand much of the problems that the protagonists face are caused by the social oppression of their most natural desires. We should work on shattering such oppression, as well as hatred and intolerance stem from misunderstanding of gay people. And may we extend our acceptance to everyone else who are different from us, and never again forbid others from love.

Best regards,
Jen

(I will translate this into Chinese later, I just have so much work to do now >_<)
