Gone with the Wind《飄》《亂世佳人》「風と共に去りぬ」
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxO3qqOXYCc&feature=youtu.be
adapted from Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer-winning 1936 novel and produced by David O.
Published on May 1, 2014
Winner of eight Academy Awards - featuring the biggest stars from Hollywood's Golden Age and still number one in ticket sales - "Gone With The Wind" continues to captivate the world 75 years after it was made.
The Harry Ransom Center, a humanities research library and museum at The University of Texas at Austin, is organizing a major exhibition about the making of "Gone With The Wind", the 1939 blockbuster film based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Margaret Mitchell,
Opening in September 2014 the exhibition will be an historical examination into the making of this quintessential Hollywood film.
Before a single frame was shot, the film was embroiled in controversy for its depiction of race and violence in the Civil War-era Old South.
Drawn exclusively from the Ransom Center's David O. Selznick archive, the exhibition will include photographs, audition footage, storyboards, letters, and the legendary producer's own memos.
Visitors will get a behind-the-scenes view of the four year journey, from the purchase of the movie rights, to Hattie McDaniel's Oscar win as best supporting actress.
The exhibition will also feature three original gowns worn by Vivien Leigh, in her Oscar-winning performance as Scarlett O'Hara.
The newly conserved costumes will be displayed together for the first time in more than 25 years.
Visitors will be swept away by the tumultuous story behind the making of "Gone With The Wind" including issues of race and the film's depiction of history.
A beautifully illustrated book featuring never-before-seen images will serve as a permanent record to the exhibition.
A companion web exhibition will also be launched on the Ransom Center's website.
The 75th anniversary of this classic film provides an unique opportunity to showcase the Ransom Center's magnificent David O. Selznick collection and to provide a contemporary perspective on why "Gone With The Wind" remains one of the most iconic films of all time.

先生又問：「你的孩子都看過《雄才怪傑》* ( Inherit the Wind ) 的電影嗎？那位代表田納西州檢察屬的皮雷耶**是在開庭之後兩天才死的，不是當場辯論之後便死的。這個故事當中有位新聞記者叫做曼鏗 (H. L. Mencken)，真是一位了不得的人，他在美國的影響，正如中國的胡適之。我在美國讀書時，他辦《太陽報》，又辦一種《水星雜誌》，是月刊。他對美國的種種都來批判，一出來，就被賣空了，在路上看見的學生，差不多每人手中都有一本。《太陽報》是曼鏗吃飯的地方，《水星雜誌》是他好玩來辦的。這個中學教員史東尼被控的案子發生後，《太陽報》全力支持他一切的費用，就是將來敗訴之後必須罰款的話，也是由《太陽報》來負擔的。曼鏗是這件案子中的主要人物，不知你們的孩子注意到了沒有 ？」

晚年跟胡頌平說聖方濟的電影可帶孩子去看
胡適之先生沒有特別將電影當成綜合藝術
(電影藝術真有意思 我十幾年前給Herbert Simon信 說 他的傑作人工智能中的某電影有些引誤--- 這本書全世界圖書館可能多有 卻沒人指出這)
Francis of Assisi, St （他是真正實行基督教教義的一個人)
1926年10月3日和附近有4則Francis of Assisi, St 七百年紀念的剪報
日記"....他是中古的一個怪傑 他歌頌貧窮 反對一切物質上的享受 最近於原始基督教 然離今日西洋文化的精神最遠"
胡適跟胡頌平說:告訴你的孩子 這是值得看的一部電影
他是真正實行基督教教義的一個人．．．．．．
1961/12/7：台北國際"影戲院" 這兩天演聖法蘭傳 (Francis Ro Assisi 應該是筆誤)

現在可以找到這片
Francis of Assisi (1961)
105 min - Drama - 12 July 1961 (USA)
The story of a lusty, fighting young adventurer who exchanged his sword for a cross
Francis of Assisi, St. ：聖方濟．亞西西：舊譯名方濟各（ 1181-1226 ）， 1224 年自己的身體印了五傷，親身體驗到耶穌所受的十字架痛苦， 1228 年列入聖品，又稱五傷聖方濟，為一平民化的義大利聖人。創立了方濟會；該會先後分出三支：方濟小兄弟會 Order of Friars Minor （ 1209 年），方濟住院會 Conventuals （ 1415 年），嘉布遣會 Capuchins （ 1525 年）。
末段引的易卜生主義戲劇、蕭伯納說法，胡適之先生都懂得的。不過時代很不同了。
蘋論：好萊塢的築夢工廠
奧斯卡獎到底有什麼魅力，能獲得全世界的矚目？好萊塢的眼耳鼻舌身意、色生香味觸法，別的地區無法相提並論，尤其電影的特效科技，其豪華眩目，就像美國的戰爭科技，把其他國家遠遠甩在身後。
寫實片獲金獎加冕
然而，美國的電影大獎並不鍾情於特技科幻片，反而是老老實實講述人生與人性的寫實主義片子，才能得到金像獎的加冕。本屆奧斯卡獎的最佳影片《驚爆焦點》、最佳導演伊納利圖《神鬼獵人》、最佳男主角李奧納多《神鬼獵人》、最佳女主角布麗拉森《不存在的房間》以及各獎項的得獎作品，全是沒有炫耀科幻的人生寫實片。這可以顯示美國的主流精神──世俗、務實與對未來審慎樂觀的態度。
《驚爆焦點》、《神鬼獵人》、《不存在的房間》都是讓人看了不舒服的電影，太多對人性幽暗面的描繪，但結局都是善有善報、惡有惡報的正向觀點，反映出勵志向上的媚俗品味仍然當道，一方面彰顯出美國清教徒傳統的善惡二元觀依然盛行；一方面又表現出美國社會世俗化的趨勢依然未歇。這三部影片其實相當驚悚，又因為寫實顯得更加驚悚，於是在善惡拔河之間，觀眾既滿足了惡有惡報的快感與心理期待；也在曲折離奇的情節中達到娛樂的效果。
電影藝術反映夢境
好萊塢的電影產業基本上是易卜生主義戲劇的濫觴，其特質是寫實主義，把電影或戲劇等同於一種媒介、一種武器，表達出對社會黑暗面的反感。大文豪蕭伯納認為：「戲劇是思想的工廠、良心的提示者、社會行為的說明人、驅除絕望和沉悶的武器、歌頌人類上進的廟堂。」電影屬於戲劇的一類，也是一種形態不斷進步的藝術，而藝術是一面人造的魔鏡，以有形的畫面反映無形的夢境。好萊塢有家「夢工廠」，其名稱精確地反映了電影藝術的本質。
如果電影失去藝術的內涵，現實的粗鄙將讓這個世界令人難以忍受。

《我的回憶》(《黃朝琴回憶錄》) 1981；1989 臺北市 ，龍文出版社印行，25開，排印本，296頁，題「我的回憶」；2001
此書是黃朝琴1897-1972晚年的一些片段回憶編輯、補充而成。有許多重要事件，如228事件，只寫頭尾，餘說參考當時的報章雜誌.....。創辦國賓大飯店等，先生都很客氣，簡單寫寫。
然而，仍然有許多寶貴的資料，譬如說，抗戰時，舊金山 (任職5年)等地華僑，共捐了數百萬美金.....第32節《審查《大地》*影片》，胡適之先生在1936年10月27日在米高梅片場看完，親口跟他說了一長段評語，黃朝琴先生竟然如實記下。--《黃朝琴回憶錄》，頁101-102
(在這2段中，胡適基本上認為電影比原著更好.....。又討論 俾女翻譯成girl slave 是否恰當。胡先生指出，莎士比亞的《威尼斯商人》描繪一重利盤剝的猶太人，從未文猶太人民族群起而攻之。.....)
此片國府介入很深，不知是否有資金投入。或MGM認為非國府協助，無法完成此片。
黃領事負責的工作，其實是收尾....

* 此片根據Pearl Buck的小說，原書著者本非第一流作家，觀察中國農村情形，亦多隔膜，故原書頗多瑕疵可予指摘。......本書用意，要寫一個勤儉起家的農夫，今忽暴富(getting rich quick)，豈非矛盾.....此片用外國人扮演中國人，其用心揣摩，頗費苦心，女主角Miss Rainer最為成功.....Rainer 演此婦，甚見風鼓，似勝原書......吾人似不宜失去大國民風度也。
