奇異博士裡的佛學 - 電影

我想要說這是藍色窗簾有點武斷。一來奇異博士漫畫裡本來就有不少這種東方思想與玄學

的元素，二來劇組在製作過程中也真的有請來相關顧問進行指導。


主角Benedict Cumberbatch在19歲時曾前往印度西孟加拉省教導當地的西藏僧侶英語，當

時就因此對相關事物產生了濃厚的興趣，他之前有說過自己之所以接下這個角色，就是因

為電影裡有相關探討，主角經歷也和他有許多不謀而合之處。


另外，飾演上古尊者的Tilda Swinton也提議劇組邀請Gelong Thubten這位藏傳佛教的僧侶

來指導大家，協助劇組的所有人瞭解相關知識，並進入那種身心靈充實的狀態，Benedict

也說這對他的演出很有幫助，這剛好是這幾天的新聞，詳見本文文末。



最後，原PO是說電影裡的內容讓他「聯想到」佛學，並不是直接斷言「劇組的這種安排

就是因為佛學」，電影評論本來就有很多主觀解讀的成份，我覺得這種情況和藍色窗簾

想批評的對象（擅自為創作者的思想代言）是不一樣的。

"Dr Strange" cast inspired by teaching from Buddhist monk on set


Tutelage from a Buddhist monk helped British actor Benedict Cumberbatch with
his starring role in "Doctor Strange", the latest film from Marvel Cinematic
Universe.


Cumberbatch stars as Stephen Strange, an arrogant surgeon who draws on powers
of mysticism and spirituality when his glamorous life is taken away from him
after damaging his hands in a car accident.


"That's a great practice to have in your life - full stop," said Cumberbatch,
referring to the mindfulness training the monk, Gelong Thubten, provided on
set.


"As an actor it's great because it brings you into that moment of stillness
and presence. You've got a lot of people demanding your attention in film
making."


The Tibetan Buddhist monk was invited on set by British actress Tilda
Swinton, who plays mystical character "The Ancient One", who transforms
Strange from incompetent student to a magic-wielding sorcerer.


"I introduced him to the project and he's been hanging out with us and
teaching everybody, if they don't know, about mindfulness and about how to
still the mind," Swinton told Reuters.
