看別人的評論,指賽德克像一齣紀錄片,為了如實紀錄放棄了好些有潛質的情節。看到這
樣的評論,不禁有點失落,也許不同的人對電影都有不同的定義和想像,現代大部分人進
入一部戲,只當一種娛樂,用來消磨人生過多的空白,所以有了一些只有觀感而無內容的
電影,志在讓你有一百二十分鐘的官能刺激,比坐過山車更長久一點;又或者我們看電影
總預期倘一兩滴淚,好讓生活中的苦澀也一併流走,所以可以煽情的劇情自然不可放過,
得有起承轉合,配合這樣的公式才能大收。
可是,於我而言,有些故事你總不能只當它是一個故事,因為其背後的訊息若能讓你有前
所未有的思想刺激,那才是更大的得著,我深信背後的訊息比它的特技有多好更值得討論
。而賽德克正正就是這麼一個故事--或更準確來說是這麼一段歷史。
不過說真的,開場後的二十分鐘真有點讓我心中暗驚,整齣戲不會就這樣沒啥對白就打來
打去便完吧。但看完數天至今,我的心情仍是久久不能平伏。有人說香港沒有所謂原住民
,所以難以有台灣人的共鳴,可是戲中的原住民只是一種象徵,一開始時,你或會以為背
後所代表的是「落後」,實際上它所代表是一種有別於我們認知的生活方式/文化/信仰
,跟文明高低無關。若你能感受這點,絕不會沒有感動、沒有衝擊,因為這正正巔覆我們
一直相信的文明想像。
文明只是一種想像
電影中其中一幕最令我感動的是莫那跟接受了日本人教育的年輕族人在河邊的一番話。我
們看他們一族以斬殺人頭為成人禮的祭品,並說那是野蠻,以為日本人建郵局、教育所為
教化他們,但莫那一句:「文明有沒有令我們族人過得好了?文明只是讓族人看見了自己
有多窮!」頓時明白到自己有多迷信,只是我們所迷信的不是彩虹橋的彼岸,而是「文明
」。有了窮跟富的對比,人就會比較,族群自會從內部瓦解。年輕人叫他再多忍耐二十年
,莫那痛心的說再多過二十年賽德克早就不在了。看到這段我就哭了。
想起當天西方列強侵華,他們硬把自己的一套所謂文明加諸你的身上,美其名是為推廣文
明,實際上是看上了黃土地上的商機;日本人同樣借教化為名,其實是想取山上的資源,
他們肆意斬去山上樹木跟賽德克一族為此心痛,正好對比兩種不同心態,一種消耗自然利
用自然,一種投入於自然敬畏自然。直到今天,我們還是一貫熱心的助養小朋友,捐錢建
山區學校,自以為是功德圓滿,其實同樣是把自己的一套加諸別的文化身上1。
其實,文明不該有一定的form,不是說你有多一道鐵橋就叫做文明,文明本身就應該基於
對不同民族文化的尊重發展而來。可是當某一種形式的文明蠶食了另一種不同的文化,世
界其實正走向單元,許多文化都被這洪流所淹沒。不管是戲中的日人消滅了賽德克,或是
過去數千年來不同的族群互相兼併,其實都只是自然界中的弱肉強食,你不是比他們文明
,只是比他們強,別想要替自己的野蠻開脫。
失去信仰的現代生活
一種文化滅絕了另一種文化原來無關於文明與否,同樣也不一定跟好壞有關。
莫那把鎗頭指向族內另一分支的頭目,迫令他參與反抗日軍,雙方的對談的一幕正正顯示
出他們一族身上有著我們現代人所沒有的超越生命的力量。莫那到過日本,知道敵人船堅
炮利,但眼看年輕族人沒有一個能經歷成人禮(斬殺敵人的頭顱,又稱出草),因此臉上
都沒有畫上圖騰,他實在不甘心賽德克的獵場被日人佔領,令年輕人連成為「真正的人」
(即是巴萊)的機會也沒有,所以明知反抗是死路,他還是想走下去。其他頭目也心知一
旦反抗或會招致滅族,他問莫那「如果我們要以性命來交換圖騰,我們又以什麼交換性命
?」莫那堅定答到:「驕傲」。
--原來,有些事情真的比性命重要;莫那之所以堅定是因為他深信作為賽德克的男子,
就必需成為巴萊,這種相信幾近是他人生的全部。你可以說這種相信正正就是我們所言的
迷信,什麼彩虹橋根本就不存在,但我卻在他們的相信當中,看到現代人沒有的堅忍。我
們自以為有科學的頭腦,什麼都不相信,最後換來的是意志的薄弱,在人生之中的軟弱或
多或少往往都是來自這種相信的缺乏。
如果文明的最終結果是叫我們忘記自己本身的文化,忘記有些事情可以比生命更重要,忘
記磨練自己的意志跟精神,那我們還能認為文明是種進步嗎?這就是戲中莫那所說:「如
果文明是要我們卑躬屈膝,那我就讓你們看見野蠻的驕傲!」
1 《窮.想像》一書,作者在國內扶貧十年,見盡不少我們認為的窮人窮事,最後發現原
來我們扶貧很容易落入一個自以為濟世為懷的自我滿足當中,窮跟落後不過是我們的想像
,建校捐錢原來根本不是山區人所需,也不見得能協助他們脫貧。這本書也是看得人感動
流涕的好書。ISBN:978-988-17719-4-0
