豆瓣8.0《蜘蛛侠》叫好又叫座！美媒说：这部电影没你们想的那么简单！ -

荷兰弟演的《蜘蛛侠：英雄远征》已经上映一周多了。

除了像漫威的其他大片一样叫座以外，这部电影更是登上了豆瓣8.0的位阶。

这对超级英雄电影来说真的是个很不错的成绩了。

究其原因，是因为这部《蜘蛛侠》并不只是一部看超级英雄开挂的爽片，而是真的探讨了一些深刻的社会问题。

Spider-Man: Far From Home has swung into theaters.

《蜘蛛侠：英雄远征》已经上映了。

In general, it’s up to the task. But what’s most intriguing about Far From Home might be the way it connects to our world.

总体来说它还是不负众望的。不过《英雄远征》最有趣的可能是它与现实生活之间的关联。

总之，虽然这部戏充满了段子、充满了高中生谈恋爱的各种小甜蜜，但它在该深刻的地方也一点不逊色。

Alissa:

彼得·帕克，也就是蜘蛛侠，的故事一直是一个关于少年成长的故事，探讨如何应对成长中的各种巨大变化。

And superhero stories more generally have always been about fighting whatever forces are threatening humanity and the free world.

而超级英雄片普遍来讲都是咋讲如何与那些威胁人类和自由世界的力量作斗争。

Buteven by those standards, Spider-Man: Far From Home, the second film starring Tom Holland as Spidey, feels particularly on the nose as a movie about teens fighting what threatens the world.

但即便按照这些标准，《蜘蛛侠：英雄远征》，第二部由汤姆霍·兰德作为蜘蛛侠主演的电影，也不只是一部关于青少年对抗威胁世界的电影。

And it clearly believes that one of the biggest threats to the world now is fake news.

它显然认为现在世界上最大的威胁之一就是假新闻。

Well,fake news, and illusions of reality spun by people grasping for power, and also drones, I guess?

嗯，假新闻，以及那些攫取权力的人如何歪曲事实，然后可能还有无人机？

As the film’s villain, Mysterio, explains to Spider-Man, he capitalizes on people’s willingness to “believe anything these days,” and creates the appearance of a threat that he can rescue them from, making it bigger and bigger and bigger.

正如电影的反派，神秘客向蜘蛛侠解释的，他利用人们“相信任何事情”的意愿，假造了一场危机，并且是一场他可以挽救的危机，然后使其变得更大、更大、更大。

他还试图将蜘蛛侠捕捉到全息幻象中，一个又一个，无穷无尽。这个“黑暗之网”的笑话自己都能产仔了。

于是就有了这样一部电影，它暗示你不能总是相信你所看到的，那些有权势的人，或者那些想要变得强大的人，总是会操纵真相。

Alex:

Let’s acknowledge that the mid-credits scene is a very brief glimpse of J. Jonah Jameson, and we don’t really know his political leanings.

我们得承认，第一个彩蛋让我们对J. Jonah Jameson（片中那个新闻评论员）有了一个非常简短的一瞥，但我们并不真正了解他的政治倾向。

如果他确实是一名极右翼评论员，那么这个场景似乎直接引用了去年发布的索尼电子游戏《漫威蜘蛛侠》。

In that game, Jonah isn’t a newspaper editor but rather the host of a boisterous podcast (to me, he seems like a sendup of Alex Jones) who lambastes every good deed Spider-Man does and offers a negative take on it.

JJJ的视频游戏角色可以被看作是早期漫画的一个新版本，他成为了一个电台主持人，他在节目中很不爽蜘蛛侠。

但同样重要的是要注意，在蜘蛛侠的漫画中，JJJ真的相信平等，并且反对种族主义者——这对鼓吹白人至上的右翼人物可不是正常现象。

《英雄远征》对角色做的创新是，将JJJ描绘成极右翼或者公开谴责极右翼，可以看做是索尼和漫威在公开切割漫威影视的前任老板艾克·皮尔穆特。

Trump shakes Ike Perlmutter

Perlmutter’s history at Marvel includes stories about him reportedly saying that girl toys don’t sell (hence the lack of Black Widow merchandise) and that black people “look the same” (when Don Cheadle replaced Terrence Howard in the Iron Man franchise).

Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios’ current president, and Amy Pascal, the former head of Sony, both reportedly had feuds with Perlmutter.

据报道，漫威影视现任总裁凯文·菲格和索尼前任负责人艾米·帕斯卡与皮尔穆特发生了争执。

But yeah, either way, making JJJ a blowhard feels like a natural progression for the character. While we don’t know if he supports the alt-right’s hateful ideologies, his recklessness in putting Peter Parker in danger and being easily manipulated by an edited video sure makes him a villain who’s easy to dislike.

我不知道他在漫威未来的电影中是否有戏份，毕竟工作室名单上的下几部电影可能是《永恒族》、《黑寡妇》电影、《奇异博士》续集和《黑豹》续集。

I can’t fathom any of those stories being about something as contemporary as the “state of the media.”

我无法想象那几部电影会探讨“媒体现状”这么现代的问题。

What do you all think? Would you pay to watch Okoye deal with Tucker Carlson? If that’s the direction Marvel is going in, how well would Spider-Man lend itself to that kind of narrative?

Emily:

Yes, Far From Home’s occasional bits about fake news are particularly pointed, but when I watched Jake Gyllenhaal’s delightful turn as Mysterio — a turn that has made me believe in supervillains again! — I came away thinking about something very different: blockbuster filmmaking.

What I love about Gyllenhaal’s casting is how it puts a none-too-subtle meta-gloss on the whole MCU. For starters, Gyllenhaal was very nearly cast as Spider-man himself, way back at the dawn of superhero cinema.

我喜欢吉伦哈尔的演出，他为漫威宇宙画上了一笔高光。首先，在超级英雄电影的早期，吉伦哈尔本人就被选来演蜘蛛侠。

When Tobey Maguire balked at the initial paycheck he was offered for 2004’s Spider-Man 2, Sony threatened to hire Gyllenhaal to take Maguire’s place, on the theory that one slightly bland and dry white guy with brown hair was just as good as another.

当托比·马奎尔拒绝接受2004年《蜘蛛侠2》的片酬开价时，索尼威胁要雇用吉伦哈尔来接受马奎尔的位置，理由是他俩都是有点干瘪的棕发白人，用谁都一样。

马奎尔眨了眨眼睛，然后还是回来演蜘蛛侠的续集了。于是后来，随着时间的推移，吉伦哈尔的事业变得越来越怪异了。

在这方面，我在《英雄远征》里最喜欢的一段是，他一直在指出他为他编造的这个“昆汀·贝克”的假故事多么荒唐——从另一个被称为元素的魔法怪物摧毁的地球上来到蜘蛛侠的地球。

People would rather believe that Beck is from an alternate universe than that egotistical billionaire Tony Stark liked to take credit for things other people in his organization worked very hard on.

To my mind, Mysterio is ever so slightly positioning himself as the auteur of the MCU.

在我看来，神秘客有点把自己看作了漫威宇宙的导演。

如果漫威的超级制片人凯文·费格是钢铁侠托尼·斯塔克，那个插手更改一切并让其他人全都手忙脚乱的人；那神秘客就是那千千万万的导演，被漫威影视赶来赶去、被漫威影视强行更改创意。

More and more, Marvel’s movies are positioning themselves as their own greatest villains.

漫威的电影越来越多地将自己定位为自己最大的反派。

Nobody can beat them at this point. And achieving that kind of strength almost always means a backlash is somewhere on the horizon.

现在他们已经没有竞争对手。而这样的体量肯定是会物极必反的。

What I like best about Mysterio is the way that Far From Home curlicues this borderline self-loathing into its themes about fake news and other manipulations of reality.

我最喜欢神秘客的一点是：《英雄远征》把这种似有若无的自我厌恶写进了主题里，专门讲假新闻与对现实的扭曲。

神秘客谈论的内容甚至超越了假新闻，他展现出我们是多么容易相信任何事，只要这个事是我们本来就想相信的——比如一个十几岁的男孩被蜘蛛咬了就能变成好心的超级英雄。

这不是对假新闻的批评；这是对逃避现实的整体批评，我觉得挺惊心动魄的。
