一個月前 一個無聊�H晚上
搵到一個英文童謠�H作者 Charles Perrault
其中一首“Ten little indian boys went out to dine” (好長 好似係咁串) 印象好深刻
有d版本係Indian boys→nigger boys/soldiers
內容大概就係十個印第安小男孩逐個逐個死去�H故事
唔好問我點解童謠�H內容會咁恐怖 可能當中反映緊某種個個年代�H社會現象
我唔知 亦無深究 我history不嬲唔合格
不過我對於佢�H相關作品非常有興趣 所以就睇左喇
分別係1945年�H電影"And Then There Were None" (黑白色)
同埋2015年BBC拍�HTV programme “And Then There Were None”(彩色)
兩部都按照住1939出版 Agatha Christie寫�H“And Then There Were None”小說 (書名取自歌謠�H末句)
小說內容base on呢首童謠 再建構出一個殺人故事
而呢部小說原來可以話係偵探推理小說�H始祖 因為之後類似�H作品就陸續出現
當然 我懶得睇字就梗係睇電影就算 其實仲有其他version 不過我無睇
電影當中雖然無清楚交代每一幕殺人�H過程 但係情節非常緊湊
當島上�H每個人逐一被殺 緊張�H情緒都推到高潮 到最後�H結局更係意想唔到
無論新版舊版都好 都保留左每個角色�H人物特點 雖然有d細節/結構同小說�H不盡相同
但係都好值得睇 再加上 佢裡面d人物對話速度唔太快 用黎練聽英文都真係唔錯
歌謠內容如下:
Ten little Indian Boys went out to dine;
One choked his little self and then there were nine.
Nine little Indian Boys sat up very late;
One overslept himself and then there were eight.
Eight little Indian Boys travelling in Devon;
One said he'd stay there and then there were seven.[8]
Seven little Indian Boys chopping up sticks;
One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.
Six little Indian Boys playing with a hive;
A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.
Five little Indian Boys going in for law;
One got in Chancery and then there were four.
Four little Indian Boys going out to sea;
A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.
Three little Indian Boys walking in the zoo;
A big bear hugged one and then there were two.
Two little Indian Boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one.
One little Indian Boy left all alone;
He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.
