近日一部黑白抗战电影《Dragon Seed》(龙种)在微博走红。在这部老电影中,各种外国人扮演中国农民讲着充满革命斗争腔的英语对白,但网友纷纷称赞演员们把各阶层的中国人演绎得惟妙惟肖,毫无违和感,电影情节也非常吸引人。

电影由米高梅在1944年根据赛珍珠的同名小说改编拍摄,故事讲述日本发生侵华战争后,一个小村庄里村民们原有的宁静祥和的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。面对破败的家园,年轻而勇敢的女民兵小玉,带领村民与侵略者展开了英勇的斗争。影片女主角为四次夺得奥斯卡影后的传奇女星凯瑟琳·赫本,电影曾在1945年奥斯卡奖上获得了最佳女配角奖和黑白最佳摄影奖两项提名。

赛珍珠的名作《大地》The Good Earth 也曾于1937年被好莱坞改编成电影,同样由外国人演中国人,并获奥斯卡最佳女主角与最佳摄影奖。

Dragon Seed is a 1944 war drama film starring Katharine Hepburn. Based on a best-selling book by Pearl S. Buck, the film portrays a peaceful village in China that has been invaded by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese war.

The men in the village choose to adopt a peaceful attitude toward their conquerors, but Jade (played by Hepburn), a headstrong woman, stands up to the Japanese.

In true Hollywood fashion, the Chinese protagonists are all played by Caucasian actors, with fascinating if not always convincing results.
