Books, movies, food, and random thoughts in English and Chinese. Sometimes I confuse myself.

楼兰(更多)
楼兰里的短篇小说,越看越让我心惊肉跳。井上靖在其中的写作手法是我从未见过别人采用的。简单概括之就是:远镜头 --> 特写 --> 远镜头。长镜拍的是宏观景象,如俯视大漠,然后zoom in到大漠上的一黑点:可能是一个人骑一匹骆驼跋涉,马上就要渴死了。然后再zoom out到俯视大漠镜头,显示出一个渴死的人和骆驼多么微不足道。只不过他这个长短镜头的标度,既是空间,更是时间。长镜拍的是几百年乃至几千年的历史,突然zoom in到微小的个人命运,乃至一个人生命中的那一瞬转折点,然后突然zoom out,将个人弃之不理,刷一下跳过几百年。个人之渺小,人生之短暂,跟历史大漠的强烈反差,冲击想象力有限的大脑。比这效果更强烈的作品我是没有见过。The mind is too feeble to handle the vastness of space and time. 真有点吃勿消的感觉,按照眼下流行的说法就是细思恐极。
