The episode discusses two films about disability and caregiving, exploring the narratives surrounding disabled individuals and their caregivers.
【聊了什么The What】 小杨、小蓝与友台残言片语主播八如一起聊了两部关于残障与照护的电影:刘玉玲主演的《柔似蜜》(Rosemead) 与圣丹斯今年新出的口碑佳作《带我回家》(Take Me Home)。 讲述残障者的故事,很难绕过照护者的故事,也很容易陷入苦大仇深的叙事漩涡;毕竟社会给残障者的资源那么少,而在资源的匮乏中能讲出的故事常常是《柔似蜜》中描绘出的毁灭性的绝路。而《带我回家》则通过一种模糊虚构与真实的即兴手段,让残障演员在故事中展现全新的创作方式。或许这种匮乏并不是必须的,或许优绩主义的亚裔家庭不一定要把残障视为绝路,或许电影人能给出的激进的想象能够推动我们重塑现实,毕竟生而为人我们终将是脆弱的。 In this episode we are joined by Baru from our friend at 残言片语 to discuss two films about disability and caregiving: Rosemead, starring Lucy Liu, and Take Me Home, a critically acclaimed new Sundance film. When telling stories about disabled people, it is hard to avoid telling the stories of caregivers as well. It is also easy to fall into a heavy, tragic narrative spiral. After all, society offers so few resources to disabled people, and from within that scarcity, the kinds of stories that emerge often look like the devastating dead end portrayed in Rosemead. Take Me Home, by contrast, uses an improvisational approach that blurs fiction and reality, allowing disabled actors to reveal a wholly different creative mode within the film itself. Perhaps this scarcity is not inevitable. Perhaps, in high-achieving Asian families, disability does not have to be treated as a dead end…
