最近看了电影Monster, 讲的是真人真事,Aileen Wuornos 是十来年前在福罗里达州的一个公路妓女(在公路上等嫖客),谋杀了七个嫖客后被逮捕并判死刑,不久前被执行的。最近又出了一部关于她的纪录片。Aileen的身世很惨,九岁就被邻居强暴,被祖父虐待,被兄弟和同龄的男孩子奸污,十三岁生孩子,被赶出家门,等等等等。她的人生里出来用肉体来换取活下去的资格以外,什么都没有。审判时她成了新闻人物,被猎奇媒体称为America's first female serial killer,闹得一时沸沸扬扬。
电影Monster和纪录片以及我看到的影评都说影片的立场比较客观公允,虽然描写她的经历有多么悲惨,但并不粉饰她杀了7个人的事实云云。
不过或许是我的平权主义或反调本能作祟,我就想了,男性连环谋杀犯很多,其中命运悲惨的人肯定也不少,但就没人为他们作传甚至表示同情,因为Wuornos 是女人才这么热闹的。说到底还是人咬狗成新闻的大众猎奇心理,而不是真正同情。
Monster, Female serial killers, etc.
刚收到的老板的EMAIL,收工了
I received this warning about the use of this politically offensive term.
"Towel Heads"
We have been informed that the Islamic terrorists do not like to be called "Towel Heads." The item they wear on their heads is
actually a small sheet. Therefore, in the future, please refer to them as "Sheet heads."
