今年4月23日是英国剧作家莎士比亚(William Shakespeare)逝世400周年,这位大文豪生前创作过很多经典戏剧,直至今日仍被世界各国的艺术家排演,经久不衰。好莱坞同样喜爱改编他的作品,这不,最近又有两部莎翁剧即将被搬上大银幕。
第二部被改编的莎翁剧是《李尔王》(King Lear),这部悲剧讲述了李尔王和他三个女儿的故事,大女儿和二女儿嘴巴甜,讨得李尔王的欢心,得到了他的国土,小女儿耿直,说话不讨喜,结果被驱逐。但后来李尔王才发现,说得动听的人未必真的对自己好,大女儿和二女儿得到国土后对李尔王非常不孝,反倒是被李尔王驱逐的小女儿对他始终牵挂。
新版《李尔王》同样把故事搬到了现代,片名也被改成《李尔家族》(The Lears),老牌演员布鲁斯·邓(Bruce Dern)将在片中饰演“李尔”,他是一个世界著名的先锋派建筑师,在退休前他把自己...

加拿大传媒学家,“酷”、“地球村”和“信息时代”的始作俑者.
对于中国传媒界来说,麦克卢汉可能还是一个陌生的名字,这实在是一个难以宽恕的疏忽。尽管现代传媒业的迅猛发展与他没有直接关系,但是,这个人使传媒业与现代文化变迁联系在一起,他使传媒业成为当代学术取之不尽的思想资源,他提升了传媒业的理论含量。简言之,因为这个人的惊人之论,人们开始意识到:传媒业不再只是谣言诽闻的发源地,不再只是强词夺理的场所,不再只是牟取暴利的超级工厂;而是当代社会最具有创造活力的文化形态,是改变我们生活的最直接的动力。
麦克卢汉(Marshall McLuhan)何许人也?我们现在常把“地球村”这个说法挂在嘴边,但出处未必知晓,始作俑者就是麦克卢汉。
麦克卢汉1911年出生于加拿大艾伯塔省埃德蒙顿市,早年在曼托巴大学求学,后来到英国剑桥大学攻读英语文学博士学位,并在美国多所大学...
