目迷五色

　　As its title suggests THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE is an awe -inspiring, meticulous cinematic rendering of the aesthetic and conceptual inventions of proto-science fiction genius Jules Verne, based on one of the famed author's lesser known short stories. However, the real star of the film is the intricate art direction, successfully rendering the visual style of nineteenth century woodcuts and engravings into motion pictures, creating a stylized and surreal graphic world within which Verne’s fanciful tale unfolds. A brilliant scientist, Dr. Roche, perches high above a stormy sea, inventing a powerful explosive, when he and his assistant are kidnapped by an evil businessman, Artigas. Taken by submarine to Artigas' volcano headquarters, Roche is tricked into developing his experiment for evil intentions. The scientist’s assistant, Simon, struggles all the while to free himself and warn Roche. A magical world of baroque submarines and sailing ships, killer octopus, undersea bicycles dazzles audiences as human actors, puppetry, animation and fanciful scenic design interact to create a cinematic experience that is unique by any standards. Mixing slapstick comedy, action adventure pacing and Mélies style film magic, this little known Czechoslovakian gem transcends the juvenile literature at its source to create cinematic art of the highest order....

　　米哈伊爾·阿法納西耶維奇·布爾加科夫1891年生于基輔，1940年逝世于莫斯科。世界文壇稱他是一位思想深邃、以大無畏精神向一切邪惡挑戰的文學大師。其代表作《狗心》、《白衛軍》、《大師和瑪格麗特》等曾被蘇聯當局查禁沒收，或“默殺”。作家死后恢復名譽、蘇聯文壇兩度掀起“布爾加科夫熱”。現在他的作品進入現代經典之列，被譽為20世紀最偉大的文學珍品之一。　　《狗心》作于一九二五年初，在文學圈子里獲得一致好評，人們發現它確實尖銳地抨擊了現實，但它抨擊的是現實中的粗野、愚昧和荒廖。小說寫一條狗因為做了人的腦垂體移植手術，突然成了有人外表的流氓，致使流氓習氣隨著腦垂體分泌的激素，滲入了取名沙里科夫的實驗室怪物的每個細胞。沙里科夫的可怕不公在于他身上那些流氓無產者的劣性，并且在于他對社會主義的庸俗化.表面上看來，《狗心》很像一個科幻故事，但是實際上卻有著反烏托邦小說的關于哲理和社會的深邃思考。　　國際知名的醫生菲利普·普列奧布拉任斯基教授，為了進行改善人種的優生學試驗，把一個剛剛死去的行竊的酒鬼的腦垂體和睪丸移到一只叫沙里克的狗身上。沙里克竟變成了“還處于最低發展階段的”人——沙里科夫。　　這個能講人言、衣食如人的衣冠禽獸，一天天顯示出是一個懷著“一顆最為卑鄙齷齪的心”的敗類：酗酒、偷竊、說謊、告密、無恥下流，直至栽臟陷害、用手槍威脅要強占教授的住宅。更有意味的是，這個狗“出身”的沙里科夫竟然被政府賞識而任命為莫斯科公共衛生局清除流竄動物科科長。他穿上了皮夾克(這是當時文學作品里革命者的形象模式)，出入有專車——盡管是卡車。幸而兩位“造物主”普列奧布拉任斯基教授和博爾緬塔爾大夫及時用手術把沙里科夫還原為沙里克，才沒釀成慘禍。　　在這篇小說里，布爾加科夫力究天人之際，思考著人與自然、人與社會的關系、人的能力限度以及人對于整個自然界的責任。實際上，布爾加科夫繼續闡釋著一個重大的主題：人不應該僭越，不應該覬覦全能的上帝的位置。這個上帝便是自然、社會的客觀法則。試圖超越社會、自然的進程，把科學變為破壞客觀規律的迷信，狂熱蠻干地“創造歷史”，是不能不受到懲罰的。正如小說《不祥之蛋》中，佩爾西科夫教授雖然掌握了科學，卻缺乏對人類社會的責任感，最后死于瘋狂的群眾的亂拳之下；而給人類社會帶來可怖的厄運的洛克，急功近利而智力低下到根本談不上什么責任感問題，卻“帶著官家的公文”，則是更為可怕的。　　而在《狗心》中，國際首屈一指的名醫菲利普·普列奧布拉任斯基教授空前絕后的完美手術只能創造出險些置其于死地的社會敗類。普列奧布拉任斯基教授經受了自作自受的“科學實驗”之后，終于覺悟道：“看吧，如果一個研究者不是摸著大自然的脈搏，與之共進，而是想加速問題的解決，揭開那神秘的帷幕，那么，就給你個沙里科夫嘗嘗，還讓你吃不了兜著走。”　　看來，人要充當上帝——造物主的角色，結果只能是對上帝的諷刺性模擬。干擾世界的客觀進程最終只能落得搬起石頭砸自己的腳的下場。
