Let's start with The Style.
让我们从影片风格说起。
Because Colombia is a very multicultural country, it took Disney several years to hone in on the overall visual style that Encanto would have.
由于哥伦比亚是一个多元文化国家,因此迪士尼花了好几年时间来打磨《魔法满屋》的整体视觉风格。
The movie's co-directors, composer and producers made several scouting trips to Colombia, visiting various cities, local families and landscapes, such as Cocora Valley, in order to gain inspiration for the film's design.
该影片的联合导演、作曲家和制片人多次前往哥伦比亚采风,参观了多个城市、当地家庭和风景,比如科科拉谷,好为影片设计获取灵感。
Some of the visual that was recreated included floral balconies…that are widely popular in cities like Cartagena.
一些影片中再现的事物,比如花阳台,在卡塔赫纳等城市广受欢迎。
We also see bougainvilleas, which are very colorful ornament vines that are common on many Colombia homes.
我们还看到有三角梅,这些是色彩鲜艳的装饰藤蔓,在许多哥伦比亚家庭中都很常见。
And of course, the architecture in Encanto is very clearly Colombian.
当然,《魔法满屋》中的建筑很明显是哥伦比亚风格的。
These colonial-style homes that include balconies that are filled with flowers are iconic to the region.
这些阳台上长满了鲜花的殖民地风格的房屋,是该地区的标志性建筑。
When it comes to the characters in Encanto… specifically, the Madrigal Family… they were designed with several different types of skin tones to reflect the overall makeup of Colombia as a whole.
说到《魔法满屋》中的人物,尤其是马德里加尔家族,他们被设计成几种不同肤色,以反映整个哥伦比亚的人口构成。
Colombia has a large population that is made up of many different indigenous groups, as well as those of European, African and mixed descent.
哥伦比亚人口众多,由多个不同的土著群体,以及欧洲、非洲和混血后裔构成。
And you can see this reflected with the character of the family. And you'll also notice the level of details, put into very specific types of Colombian clothing from the very specific areas, such as the traditional sombrero vueltiao hat.
你可以从影片中这个家庭的组成看出这一点。你也会注意到影片的细节程度,加入了特定区域的哥伦比亚服装类型,比如传统的墨西哥宽边帽。
But going a little deeper into the film's backdrop, let's talk about the Historical Setting.
下面让我们更深入地了解一下影片的背景,谈谈它的历史背景。
Although it isn't outright stated, it can be hypothesized that part of the movie takes place during the turn of the last century… that is 1899 to 1903.
虽然影片中没有明说,但可以假设它的一部分内容发生在上个世纪的1899年到1903年。
Specifically when the character Alma and the three babies flee because of violence in the place that they are living.
特别是当角色Alma和三个孩子因所居地的暴乱而逃离的时候。
If you look at many of the clothing styles, things do link up with the eras later on… But specifically, 1899 to 1903, was when The War of a Thousand Days took place in Colombia.
从各种服装风格上也看得出来,影片与那个时代有关。具体来说,也就是1899到1903年期间的事情,当时哥伦比亚爆发了千日战争。
This was a major Latin American conflict between the Conservative and Liberal parties over fraudulent elections and resulted in over 100,000 death which was about 2.5% of the Colombian population.
千日战争是拉丁美洲保守党和自由党因选举舞弊而发生的重大冲突,最终导致10万多人死亡,约占哥伦比亚人口的2.5%。
With the amount of overwhelming violence and displacement of people during this time, it makes sense, especially based on the styles we see later throughout the movie… that this was the conflict that we see these characters flee in the flashback. which led to the origin of the film's enchanted house in the mountains.
战争期间,大量暴乱使得人们流离失所,我们后来在整部电影中也能看到这些场景,影片人物在记忆闪回中就是在逃离这些暴乱和冲突,这就是电影中在山上建立魔法小屋的故事背景。
But let's talk about the centrepiece of Encanto.
我们再谈谈《魔法满屋》的核心。
Magical Realism.
魔幻现实主义。
Magical Realism is one of the most influential movements in Latin American storytelling and literature.
魔幻现实主义是拉丁美洲最具影响力的叙事和文学运动之一。
Made particularly significant by Colombian Novelist, Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
哥伦比亚小说家加夫列尔·加西亚·马尔克斯的作品使之更具影响力。
This unique style narrates everyday life by placing an emphasis on the fantastical, without actually stating that anything is out of the ordinary.
这种独特的风格通过强调幻想来叙述日常生活,但实际上并没说任何事情都是不寻常的。
Essentially tales that portray magical or fantastical events.
本质上是描绘有魔法的或幻想的故事。
So, let's look at some of the characteristics of Magical Realism in literature.
下面让我们来看看文学作品中魔幻现实主义的一些特征。
They include: A realistic setting, set somewhere in our world, as well as Magical elements, such as talking objects or telepathy, or something all around fantastical.
特征包括:一个设置在世界某个地方的现实场景,还有魔法元素,比如会说话的物体或心灵感应,或一些幻想的东西。
The reader or audience is given limited information, as Magical Realism authors deliberately leave the magic in their stories unexplained in order to normalize it as much as possible. And that magic is also used to help critique or explain something in society.
读者或观众得到的信息有限,因为魔幻现实主义作者故意不在他们的故事中解释魔法,以便尽可能使其正常化。魔法也被用来帮助批判或说明社会上的一些事情。
Sometimes politics, for example, but other things as well.
比如有时是政治,有时是其他事情。
And in an otherwise realistic tone.
并且是以一种真实的口吻来描述。
Garcia Marquez's famous novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude showcases this; in fact it really defined magical realism as we understand it today...
加西亚·马尔克斯的著名小说《百年孤独》就展示了这一点;事实上,该书确实定义了我们今天所理解的魔幻现实主义。
One of it's most iconic literary images is that of yellow butterflies fluttering around Mauricio Babilonia, one of the story's main characters.
书中最具标志性的文学形象之一,就是在故事主角之一毛里西奥·巴比洛尼亚周围飞舞的黄色蝴蝶。
These butterflies seem to have a magical connotation, but are still rooted in reality.
这些蝴蝶似乎有魔法的含义,但仍然来源于现实。
In this story, they seem to be a metaphor for forbidden love.
在《魔法满屋》中,它们似乎是禁忌之爱的隐喻。
These yellow butterflies are shown in Encanto as a clear homage to one of Colombia's most influential novelists.
这些黄色的蝴蝶出现在影片中,显然是向这位哥伦比亚最具影响力的小说家之一致敬。
In fact, the movie is also filled with yellow flowers. Both yellow flowers and butterflies have come to be a symbol that represents the author.
事实上,这部影片中也充满了黄色的花朵。黄花和蝴蝶都已成为代表马尔克斯的象征。
Digging a bit more into this theme of magical realism, you can really see the connection to Encanto.
深入挖掘这个魔幻现实主义主题,你会发现它与《魔法满屋》的联系。
Mirabel's family represents the magical and fantastical while Mirabel represents realism.
米拉贝尔的家庭代表着魔法和幻想,而米拉贝尔却代表着现实主义。
And we come to see how the two can complement one another.
让我们来看看这两者如何相辅相成的。
But one of the greatest achievements regarding cultural representation in Encanto is capturing the Colombian Concept of Family.
《魔法满屋》在文化表征方面最优秀的成就之一就是捕捉到了哥伦比亚的家庭概念。
Family is obviously a universal theme regardless of culture, but Encanto really hones in on the strong effort to ensure that every family member achieves his or her full potential.
无论是什么文化,家庭显然是一个普遍的主题,但《魔法满屋》却是真正致力于确保每个家庭成员发挥他或她的全部潜力。
It's a common tradition throughout most regions of Colombia to celebrate most achievements with a huge party.
在哥伦比亚大部分地区,举办大型派对庆祝取得的大多数成就是一项普遍的传统。
Oftentimes going as far as to invite an entire town to celebrate.
有时甚至会邀请全镇的人来庆祝。
This of course oftentimes being led by the Matriarch of the family, which we see in the character Abuella Alma.
当然这通常是由家族的女族长领导的,我们在阿布埃拉·阿尔玛这个角色身上看到了这一点。
The concept of family is also strongly reinforced in Encanto, thematically, with the family house as Colombian families tend to keep a strong attachment to their childhood homes.
家庭的概念在影片的主题上也得到了强烈地强化,因为哥伦比亚的家庭往往对他们童年的家保有强烈的依恋。
We also see this reflected with Encanto being one of the only Disney movies that focuses on extended family to the degree that it does. Not just parents and children, but also aunts, uncles and cousins.
我们也能在影片中看到这一点,《魔法满屋》是迪士尼仅有的几部专注于大家庭的电影之一。不仅有父母和孩子,还有阿姨、叔叔和表兄弟姐妹。
All under one roof, which is a far more common thing in Latin American countries like Colombia.
所有人都生活在同一个屋檐下,这在哥伦比亚等拉美国家是很常见的。
This was also a theme that was very present in Pixar's Coco.
这也是皮克斯的《寻梦环游记》的主题。
Another animated film that was set in Latin America.
那是另一部以拉丁美洲为背景的动画电影。
And finally, let's wrap things up with The Music of Encanto.
最后,让我们来说说《魔法满屋》的音乐。
Encanto's original songs were by Lin-Manuel Miranda, but the original score was done by Germaine Franco who is best known for the songs and score for Disney's Coco, which was set in Mexico.
影片的原创歌曲由林-曼努埃尔·米兰达创作,但原创配乐是由杰曼·弗兰科创作的,她最著名的作品是迪士尼的《寻梦环游记》,其故事设定在墨西哥。
She has become known as Hollywood's go-to composer for adding Latin flavours to film soundtracks.
弗兰科因在电影配乐中加入拉丁风格而成为好莱坞的首选作曲家。
Encanto's creators wanted the score to weave in and out of the songs in order to tell the story with Mirabel's emotions, and really emphasize the theme of magical realism.
《魔法满屋》的创作者希望配乐能够与歌曲穿插在一起,以米拉贝尔的情感来讲述故事,并真正强调魔幻现实主义的主题。
There is a big emphasis on traditional folk instruments in the score, including the accordion, which is a huge element to Colombian folk music.
电影配乐中尤其注重使用传统的民间乐器包括手风琴,这是哥伦比亚民间音乐的一个重要元素。
But also the three-stringed guitar, tambora bass drum; the gaita, a cactus made flute, a harp and the marimba de chonta, a percussion instrument specific to the region.
还有三弦吉他、坦博拉低音鼓、风笛(一种由仙人掌制作的长笛)、竖琴和马林巴琴(一种当地特有的打击乐器)。
perfectly
excellent!
Very good materials for listening.
