第3139期:Hollywood funds pour into Black cinema

Ryan Coogler's 2018 superhero film Black Panther about a powerful African kingdom and its king was one of the highest grossing films of all time raking in 1.3 billion dollars internationally.

瑞恩·库格勒2018年执导的超级英雄电影《黑豹》，讲述了一个强大的非洲王国及其国王的故事，是史上票房最高的电影之一，全球票房收入达13亿美元。

The mega blockbuster with a predominantly black cast has prompted Hollywood to flood money on more black productions and TV series than ever before.

这部以黑人演员为主的超级大片，促使好莱坞投入比以往更多的资金来制作更多黑人题材的影视剧。

That woke everybody up and said, "Wow, there's money here".

这把所有人都惊着了，说道：“哇，这里有钱可赚”。

And suddenly, all of the black film makers who had ideas and passion and vision, suddenly now they had money, so they could actually make the movies that they wanted to make.

突然之间，所有那些怀揣创意、激情与远见的黑人电影制作人有了资金，这样他们就能制作出自己想拍的电影了。

Over the course of probably the last 10 years, we've seen a renaissance in black storytelling, like we haven't seen probably in the first, I don't know, 90 years of storytelling in our community.

在过去的十年里，我们见证了黑人叙事的复兴，这可能是我们这个群体在最初90年的叙事历程中未曾有过的景象。

Critically acclaimed black films such as Barry Jenkins's Oscar-winning drama Moonlight or Ava DuVernay's documentary 13th, have illuminated black life and offered cultural affirmation to black audiences, says Berardinelli.

贝拉迪内利表示，巴里·詹金斯执导的奥斯卡获奖剧情片《月光男孩》或艾娃·杜威纳执导的纪录片《第十三修正案》等广受好评的黑人题材电影，展现了黑人的生活，并为黑人观众提供了文化认同。

A group of people who for so long did not see themselves reflected on screen now suddenly see themselves reflected on screen.

一群长期以来在银幕上看不到自己身影的人，如今突然在银幕上看到了自己。

And you know, in the superhero movies, now you have your Black Panther of course, but you also now have the new Captain America is black Anthony Maxwell.

在超级英雄电影里，当然现在有了《黑豹》，而且现在新的美国队长也是黑人安东尼·麦克斯韦。

Berardinelli says as they enter the American mainstream, black films are attracting a wider demographic because the multiculturalism of the younger generation is much more varied than it is for the older generation.

贝拉迪内利表示，随着黑人电影进入美国主流，它们正吸引着更广泛的观众群体，因为年轻一代的多元文化比老一代更加丰富多样。

Black women directors are also gaining support. Gordon says this year 15 films are directed by black women alone.

黑人女导演也正在获得支持。戈登表示，今年有15部电影是由黑人女性独立执导的。

One of them is Beyonce, who wrote, directed and produced the visual album Black Is King.

其中一位是碧昂丝，她自编自导并制作了视觉专辑《黑人为王》。

The fusion of kind of like a Lion King theme mixed in with a Black Panther theme, I thought hits you squarely in the pride aspect.

有点像《狮子王》主题和《黑豹》主题的融合，我觉得这在自豪感方面正中你的心坎。

As for criticisms leveled against Beyonce, that she misappropriated elements of African culture into her African-American production.

至于针对碧昂丝的批评，即她在非裔美国人作品中挪用了非洲文化元素。

It's hard to criticize a black person who is paying homage to her ancestors who are African in nature.

很难批评一个向自己非洲祖先致敬的黑人。

So it wasn't even like she brought a bunch of Americans in to pretend to be from Mali, or to pretend to be from Ghana, or to pretend to be from South Africa.

她甚至没有带一群美国人进来，假装他们来自马里，或者假装他们来自加纳，或者假装他们来自南非。

She used South Africans, she used folks from Mali, she used folks from Ghana, she used folks from the continent.

她启用了南非人，启用了来自马里的人，启用了来自加纳的人，启用了来自非洲大陆的人。

Gordon hopes to see more black films and black lead characters across all genres for all audiences.

戈登希望看到更多面向所有观众、涵盖所有类型的黑人电影和黑人主角。

True equality is when you are able to tell all these different stories, and they are no longer looked at as niche films.

真正的平等是当你能够讲述所有这些不同的故事，它们也不再被视为小众电影。

They're just a part of the fabric of what makes America great.

它们只是让美国变得伟大的组成部分。
