乡村重生记

小说本身牵动人的情感，无疑，这完全是精神感受的最高形式。

布列松不是扩充而是删除次要人物。（102）

他的“忠实”是创造自由的最隐蔽最深透的形式。（102）

影片始终用贫乏的影像取代小说家富有感染力的具体描述，影像若隐若现，就因为没有充分展开。（103）

影片与小说相比，影片更具“文学味”，小说反而充满了具体形象。（105）

布莱松没有仅仅借助事件的简化，而是利用真实场景自身的对立创造出电影化的抽象。（107）

布莱松从未向我们展现完整的现实。他的风格化不是凭空假设的象征符号的抽象化，而是建立在影像的对立元素的相互作用造成的具体与抽象的辩证关系之上。（107）

布莱松像德莱叶一样，自然喜爱最富质感的面部特征，正因为它完全不是表演，而只是人的独特印记，是心灵的最明显可见的踪迹：种种面部表情无不升华为符号。他让我们注意的不是心理学，而是存在的观相术。（110）

背离戏剧性的范畴。事件不是按情感的发展最终使精神得到满足的规律安排，事件的连续是偶然中的一种必然，是无关联的动作与巧合事件的串接。每一时刻如同每一个镜头，都有其自身的命运和自由。

一种克尔恺郭尔的“重复”的顺序。这种顺序有别于命定性，正如类比关系有别于因果关系一样。（111/112）

死亡不是苦难的命定厄运，只是苦难的终点和解脱。（112）

原著的这种二次元真实与摄影机直接捕捉到的真实物象不可能彼此扣合、互为延伸和融为一体，相反，这两种现实的并置会突出它们的相异的本性。

两类对应的现实并现于银幕，两者之间在本体论上的不一致性突出了两者唯一共同的尺度，这就是灵魂。（114）

他是重新挖掘出斯特劳亨和德莱叶认识到的人的面部表情的重要价值。而无声电影本质上与声音相对立的唯一特性，是蒙太奇句法的灵活性和表现主义的表演，即实际上因无声的缺陷而采取的手段。（117）

电影语言与伊索寓言的语言一样，是含糊多义的，透过表面现象，我们看到1928年之前和之后的电影只有一部连贯的电影史，即表现主义和现实主义的关系史；声音必须暂时摧毁表现主义，而后再去适应它；而它和现实主义的延伸发展直接相关。（117）

只有深入探讨声音真实性的美学，才能理解对话与相关于对话的影像彼此分离的意义。

音影平行关系延续着可感现实的分立。音影平行是布莱松抽象化与真实性辩证关系的引申，借助它我们最终感受到的只是心灵的真实。（118）

实际上，在这部影片中，声音不是用来填充已然可见的事件：它渲染和扩展事件，犹如提琴的共鸣箱强化琴弦的颤音。

事件正是通过声音与影像的交错，释放出自己的真实含义。（118）

影像的价值不取决于在它之前与之后的影像。影像犹如电容器的平行极板，主要是集聚静态的能量。从影像出发，与声音对应，形成美学的电位差，电压水平最终变得难以维持。

……

观众被逐步引入这种感觉之夜，能够表达这些感觉的唯一形式，就是空白银幕上的幽光。这就是这种“无声电影”和它严苛的现实主义所追求的效果：使影像消失，完全让位于小说的文句。

正如马拉美的空白页或兰波的静默是最高超的语言情态一样，在这里，空荡的、没有影像的和完全让位于文学的银幕，标志着电影现实主义的胜利。在银幕的白色幕布上，黑色的十字架像讣告上的十字架一样简陋，随着影像渐渐上升，它变成唯一可见的印迹，表明影像的实在只是一个符号。（119）

《乡村牧师日记》当属别类。它的忠实性与独创性的辩证关系可以归结为电影与文学之间的辩证关系。而是依据原小说，借助电影，构造一部次生的作品。这不是一部与小说“媲美”或“相称”的影片，而是一个新的美学实体，它仿佛是用电影扩充的小说。（120）

《乡村牧师日记》对我们的启发是，利用两者的差异，经由影片强调小说的存在，比利用两者的共同点把小说“化”为影片更见成效。（122）

第一次从地摊小贩那里看到这部电影的盗版光碟时，就被封皮上那张脸所吸引，在黑色长衫的衬托之下，苍白得让人揪心。头发有些凌乱，但挺立如针；一双黑大的眼睛，忧伤到让人掉泪，但也不全是忧伤，还透着一股掩饰不去的专注和真诚。直觉告诉我，这不会是一个寻常的病号。 从主人公第一句深沉绵长的独白—— “I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong in writing down daily, with absolute frankness, the simplest and insignificant secrets of a life actually lacking any trace of mystery”(我的生活毫无神秘可言。我以绝对的坦诚，将我生活中那些最简单、最微末的秘密记下来。我不觉得这样做有什么错。)—— 开始，我就预感到这片子的分量。最简单也许是最深刻的，最微末的也许是最紧迫的。 故事发生在战后法国一个僻陋的乡间，刚从神学院毕业的年轻牧师，来到这里传道。可他的到来，并没有得到当地人的欢迎。相反，猜忌、嘲笑、怨恨接踵而来。因为无意中瞥见了伯爵幽会保姆的身影，就被他们记恨在心。伯爵之女Louise那双如尖锥般怨毒的眼神，对他的劝诫嗤之以鼻。就连教理问答课上的那帮孩子，也要合谋来对他嘲弄一番。好心将小女孩Seraphita扔弃的书包送到她家里，却遭到其母的怀疑和冷遇。 如此残酷的现实，对于一个满怀热忱和理想的年轻人，该是多么大的打击。面对别人的无礼和不屑，他多数时候是默然的接受。只是在回到自己简陋的住所后，他才会记下自己的失望和困惑。透过那些文字，你能体会到他内心的纠结和挣扎。原本就身体虚弱的他，开始用饮食上的节制来惩戒自己的失职。发霉的面包、廉价的酒，成为他日常的充饥之物。他要用这耶稣的身与血，来警策自己，不可断了与主的联系。 影片的氛围整体上是沉闷冰冷的，但也有让人感觉振奋温暖的瞬间。比如牧师跟女伯爵的第二次对话，面对后者咄咄逼人的质问，缄默的牧师，口吻一下子变得雄辩十足，用一系列的警句予以应答： “Our hidden sins poison the air that others breathe.”(我们隐秘的罪恶污染了别人待吸的空气。”) “Blessed is sin if it teaches me shame”(罪恶，倘若能让我们从中感到羞耻，也是有福的。) 又比如, 在他晕倒后，为他掌灯引路的Seraphita、端来咖啡的无名妇人，尤其是当他躺在病榻之上朋友女友的的那番肺腑之言（I don’t want him to marry me, because I don’t want to be in the way），一定是让他感到了信仰复苏的可能，因为有爱的地方，上帝是不会缺席的；“上帝不是爱的主人，乃是爱本身”（God is not the master of love. God is love.） 有信仰的人，是有福的。无论受了多大的折磨与不幸，都不会愤然埋怨命运的不公，进而去否定自己的信仰。他的内心会被一种精神上的富足充盈着。“一切都是神恩（All is grace）”，这是牧师临终的遗言，道出了一切信仰者应有的姿态：谦卑与感激。

如果不理解基督教文化，很难看懂这部影片。

在基督教中，面包是基督之肉，红酒是基督之血，人们通过食基督之肉、饮基督之血赎罪，这个罪即是原罪，是神父与之斗争的对象以及难以救赎人们的根本原因，也是那座“不断吞噬一切的祭坛”。

神父以面包红酒为食，象征他是人群当中彻底摆脱了为人的原罪的那一个。他说他的胃病决定了这种饮食方式，而后面又因为这种饮食导致了胃癌，看似因果颠倒，令人费解，其实恰恰是为了传递出一则重要信息，一种深刻的隐喻——胃癌象征殉道者被钉上十字架受难必死的结局，饮食方式象征无罪与救赎的慈悲、牺牲的精神。也就是说:无罪意味着必在救赎斗争中死去(牺牲)，这种牺牲又恰恰是无罪的印证。

神父没有用诸如“信上帝得永生“之类的甜言蜜语欺骗因丧子而沉湎悲痛的伯爵夫人，相反，他以一种仁慈的诚实告诉她:“天堂不存在，上帝只存在于我们生活的这个现世。”并为她祷告。最终将她拉回了现世。

他的信仰不是那种虚幻的寄托，而是具备真正能把人心从痛苦的深渊里拉回现实的力量，正因如此，代价则是饱受误解、非议、责难，正如基督在十字架上所承受的，而对此，他总是报以沉默，如同上帝的沉默。他从未激昂地为自己辩解，抑或与他人争论。他像上帝一样厌恶惩罚，总是沉默着呈现爱的姿态，即便饱受误解。

他以绝对的清醒和诚实面向自己和在苦难中挣扎的人。他对所以人施以仁慈，唯独对自己百般折磨，几近残酷。他赐予别人安详，自己却为绝对的诚实所体察到的人间苦难日夜折磨。这就是牺牲，是赎罪，是十字架上的真。

可是有什么关系?一切都是慈悲的。
