James Cameron's Story of Science Fiction S01E02

Part 7 May 10, 2021, 12:05 p.m.

you are creating a society from scratch,
一颗行星一个种族
a planet from scratch, a people from scratch.
他们可能看上去不像你和我
They may not look like people like you or me,
N·K·杰米辛
科幻作家
但是他们也是人
but they are people.
《阿凡达》
在潘多拉星壮观的森林里
Every plant that you see
你能看到的所有植物
in that remarkable forest on Pandora --
即便只有半秒钟的镜头
even if you see it for half a second,
都有一个英语名字
has an English name,
一个拉丁学名一个纳威名
a Latin name, a Na'vi name,
保罗·弗朗莫
语言学家
《阿凡达》
还很可能有两页纸的生态设定
and probably a two-page description on its ecology,
介绍这个植物是如何繁衍的
on how it reproduces,
纳威人是如何使用它的
on how it's used by the Na'vi.
如果我们连这些细节都照顾到了
So if you're gonna go into that much detail,
那我们更不可能在语言上马虎
then you're not gonna skimp on the language.
纳威语
我们要保证一切能够合的起来
You've got to make sure that everything really holds together.
神语
《第五元素》
我创造的这个语言
And the language I wrote it,
大概有四百个词
it's like 400 words.
我做了一个小词典
And I make a little dictionary.
吕克·贝松
导演
《第五元素》
有意思的是那个时候会说这门语言的
And that was interesting because the only two person
只有两个人
who can speak the language at the time was --
就是我和米拉[女主角]was Milla and me.
我们在几个周之后就很流利了
We were kind of fluent after a couple of weeks.
你的名字是什么
What is your name?
神语
那就是她的名字
That's her name.
我觉得里面应该是包含了
I think there's like a first, middle,
名字中间名和姓氏
and last somewhere in there.
别问我是怎么分的
Don't ask me which.
与《第五元素》的编剧与导演吕克·贝松合作
Working with Luc Besson, who wrote and directed "Fifth Element"
米拉·乔沃维奇
演员
《第五元素》
改变了我的人生
-- it changed my life.
电影看上去如此栩栩如生
Just seemed so realistic to me,
给我留下了深刻的印象
which I was really impressed by.
就像是一张你可以在上面写任何东西的白纸
It's the white page that you can write everything.
在宇宙中你可以把一切变得美丽
You can make everything beautiful again in space.
我喜欢其中幻想的一面
I like the fantasy of it.
我只需要选一个主题比如说法律
I, like, just take a subject, like the law,
警♥察♥ 食物
uh, the police, the food.
祝你好运
Good fortune for you.
然后我就开始写每个主题写个十到十五页
And then I start writing, you know, 10, 15 pages on each.
然后我把写好的东西给演员们看
And then you give that to the actors
就算电影里不会直接提起这些设定
and it gives some life and polish on the story,
它们也赋予故事一些生活气息和润色
even if you never talk about it.
科幻可能是打开视野的
Science fiction is probably the best way to
最佳方式了
open your mind about everything,
科幻就像是润滑油
and sci-fi is just an oil
使得门更容易打开
so the doors open easier.
不再像这样
It doesn't like
那么难开门
So hard to push.
宇宙是世界上最大的画布
Space is the biggest canvas to write whatever you want
你可以书写任何事打破所有限制
and to push all the limits because, by definition,
因为未来从定义上就是无限的
future doesn't have a limit.
即便有极限我们也不知道
Or if there is one, we don't know it.
当我八♥九♥岁的时候
When I was eight or nine years old,
詹姆斯·古恩
导演
《银河护卫队》系列
我就着迷于创造不同的行星
I was obsessed with creating different planets,
创造不同的世界不同的宇宙
creating these worlds and these universes and --
然后从头开始构建它们即便我还很小
and building them up from the ground, even at that young age.
我写下了《银河护卫队》的视觉设计
And I wrote up the visuals of "Guardians of the Galaxy."
写了几百页的设定里面有各种各样的文化
Hundreds of pages of documents with the different cultures
他们做什么如何思考
and what they do and how do they think.
我们遵循现实规则在外太空创造了一个世界
We are creating a world in outer space based on real rules
但它依旧充满了奇思妙想
that is still filled with imagination and fantasy.
当你面对的是一只浣熊和一棵树
When you're dealing with a raccoon and a tree,
你在某种意义上面对的就是太空幻想
you are, in some ways, dealing with space fantasy,
但如果在太空中
but, within that, let's say
真有一只会说话的浣熊
there is a talking raccoon.
它会是怎么样的
What would it be?
为什么会这样
And how would it be?
于是我对火箭浣熊的设定
And I came up with Rocket Raccoon
是动物实验的成果
is a result of experiments on his body
实验的目的是把他变成一个杀戮机器
to turn him into something that's designed to kill.
世上没有谁像我除了我自己
Ain't no thing like me except me.
我是格鲁特
I am Groot.
是的你说过了
Yeah, you said that.
格鲁特是《银河护卫队》中
Groot's the most popular character
最受欢迎的角色
from "Guardians of the Galaxy."
他简直是这部电影的灵魂
He's probably the soul of the movie.
我特别记忆犹新的
I mean, I remember like it was yesterday.
佐伊·索尔达娜
演员
《银河护卫队》
是我们正准备要拍摄
We were getting ready to shoot this scene
格鲁特延展成一张树网
where Groot grows into sort of like this nest
试图保护我们
and protects us from this impact
以免我们遭到致命伤害的场景
that was just going to completely kill us.
我们拍摄这个场景的那天
That day when we're shooting that scene, that --
哭得简直停不下来
we couldn't stop crying.
这个角色是虚构的
This character that doesn't even exist,
但他愿牺牲自己来保护我的场景真的太感人了
but risking his life for mine, was very moving.
你为什么要这么做
Wh-Why are you doing this?
这很像基♥督♥故事
It's very much of a Christ story.
这个角色牺牲了他自己的生命
You have this character who gives his life
而后重生
and is born again.
我们
We...
是
are...
格鲁特
Groot.
"我们是格鲁特"这句对白
"We are Groot" Is the line of dialogue
是整部电影的主旨所在
that every single other thing in the movie is hanging on.
这是一个关于一只浣熊和一个人类
It's about seeing a raccoon and a human being
一位绿皮肤的杀手和一个傻大个的故事
and a green assassin and a big oaf,
他们第一次在彼此身上找到了家的感觉
and they find a family with each other for the first time.
一个外太空中的家庭
An outer-space family.
这是让这部作品成为科幻的关键
That's what makes it science fiction,
外太空中的家庭
is that it's an outer-space family.
今天是你在学习和探索火星
Today, it is you who will learn the power of Mars.
明天就将是整个世界
Tomorrow, it will be the whole world.
火星
你在做梦是关于火星的吗
You're dreaming. Is it about Mars?
愤怒的红色星球
The angry red planet.
我们正前往火星
We're heading straight for Mars.
火星正在燃烧
Ooh, Mars is burning up.
天呐我在火星上
Good God. I'm on Mars.
五十年前太空是极其险恶的环境
50 years ago, space is an extraordinarily hostile environment
后来我们沿着科幻作品的轨迹
and then we go through the trajectory of science fiction,
亚当·卢瑟福
科学记者
BBC第四频道
不断探索宇宙中未知的空间
which includes exploring the rest of the universe.
现在太阳系内已经算是我们能达到的距离
But the solar system is now very much within our reach.
西德尼·珀喀维兹
物理学家科学作家
《双面好莱坞科学科幻大不同》[台译]
离我们最近的火星只在五千五百万千米外
The closest Mars ever gets to us is 36 million miles,
跟光年相比这并不是很远的距离
which doesn't seem so huge when you think about light-years.
相较起来算是微不足道的距离了
It's a tiny distance by comparison.
《火星救援》
像《火星救援》这样的故事让我们相信
Stories like "The Martian" make us believe
在有生之年我们有能力且会做这样的事
that we can and will do this in our own lifetime.
