*نگاهی به فیلمِ زمینِ دیگر*
امتیاز: ۷ از ۱۰
معدود مواردی پیش میآید که امتیازدهی به یک فیلم، برایم به شدت سخت میشود. در واقع، امتیاز دادنِ به یک فیلم، گویی، نابود کردنِ تمامِ کیفیتِ فیلم، به واسطهی کمی کردنِ آن (بردن در قالبِ اعداد) است. پیش از اینها در بابِ استعلای هنری گفته بودم. گاهی اوقات (و شاید همیشه)، بینِ مخاطب و ابژهی هنری، رابطهی استعلایی برقرار میشود. رابطهای که بنیانش را میتوان بر یک امرِ کاملن کیفی گذاشت: «حیرت»! واضحن، شما نمیتوانید حیرت را «عددگذاری» کنید؛ نمیتوانید بگویید: «هی یاشار… من ۸تا حیرت کردم» یا «۸ ستاره حیرت را در وجودم شمردم». «نبوغِ هنری مولف» این اجازه را به نهانِ استعلایی مخاطب [گذر از «من میاندیشم» به «من هستم»] میدهد که خروجیای به نامِ حیرت از خودش بر جای بگذارد و این رابطه، دقیقن به مثابهی یک رابطهی عاشقانه، و به نظرِ من، بر خلافِ تلاشهای نسبتن مذبوحانهی کمیگرایان، رابطهای بسیط [امری که مرکب از اجزاء نباشد] است که تنها وجهِ «شناختیاش»، آگاهیِ من به «من» است؛ چونانکه «دکارت» در کوگیتو میسرود: «من هستم». بدین ترتیب، وقتی یک ابژهی هنری، به «هستی انسانی» پیوند میخورد، نمیتوان این پیوند را با اعداد و ارقامی کمی ملاحظه کرد و برشمرد.
این داستان، در کیسِ مشخصِ «زمینِ دیگر»، واضحن و آشکارا، برای من رخ داده است. «زمینِ دیگر»، فیلمی است که در نیمه شبِ دیشب آن را دیدم و چند ساعتی تا این سپیده دمِ صبح است که درگیرِ آنام. از جهتِ استعلایی، فیلم برایام «فوقالعاده» به نظر آمد. به این معنا که «ابژهی هنریای به نامِ زمینِ دیگر» با «هستی منی به نامِ یاشارِ یشمی» پیوند خورده است. فیلم، درگیرم کرده است و ذهنام را در چهارچوبِ بستهی خودش نگاه داشته و دنیای خودش را بر من تحمیل کرده است.
دکارت، چهار میراث در فلسفه داشت: «کوگیتو» [من میاندیشم پس هستم]، «وضوح و تمایز به عنوانِ معیارِ شناخت» ، «دوالیسم» و «مکانیسم». در بابِ «هستی» و «من هستم» سخن راندم و اکنون میخواهم به وضوح و تمایز بپردازم. اشاره کردم که در رابطهی استعلایی، «وجهی شناختی» وجود دارد. معیارِ دکارت در بابِ شناخت، امروزه هم معیاری قابل اعتنا محسوب میشود: «وقتی ما امری را به تمایزِ کامل از امورِ دیگر درک میکنیم، آن را شناختهایم»؛ دقیقن به مثابهی «من هستم» که متمایزترین، واضحترین، و غیرِ قابلِ شکترینِ شناختهاست و کسی نمیتواند بگوید که من تصورِ متمایزی از هستی خودم نسبت به دیگر هستیها ندارم.
به همین ترتیب، شناختهای هستیوارِ دیگرِ ما، مانندِ «حیرت»، برای ما کاملن متمایز از دیگر شناختها هستند. وقتی ما در مقابلِ فیلمی عظیم، به ستایش بر روی دو زانوی حیرت کمر خم میکنیم، آن حیرت و آن ستایش، برایمان از تمامِ حیرتها و از تمامِ ستایشهای دیگری که نثارِ دیگر فیلمها کردهایم متمایزاند. به همین ترتیب، معنا ندارد که بگوییم عشق، تنها یک بار اتفاق میافتد؛ بلکه عشق میتواند میلیونها بار اتفاق بیفتد و هر بار، متمایز از بارِ دیگر باشد. حیرتی که من در مقابلِ فیلمی مانندِ «ادیسه فضایی: ۲۰۰۱» میکنم، با حیرتی که من در مقابلِ «زمینِ دیگر» میکنم، بالکل متفاوت و متمایز است. منتهی مشکل در این است که این «تمایزِ استعلایی وجودی» را نمیتواند در قالب اعداد و کمیات منتقل کرد. فقط زبانهای کیفی، مانندِ شعر و ادبیات، هستند که میتوانند این تمایز را، باز هم به وجهی کیفی، منتقل کنند (و اگر بخواهیم کارِ خودمان را سادهتر کنیم، میتوانیم از واژههای تمایزگذارِ کیفیای مانند «کمتر» یا «بیشتر» - صرفِ نظر از محتوای کمیشان - استفاده کنیم: «من از این فیلم بیشتر از آن یکی حیرت کردم»). تمایزِ حیرتِ من از فیلمِ «زمینِ دیگر» با دیگر فیلمهای شاهکاری که دیدهام، به همین وجه است. این فیلم، به خوبی توانست حیرتِ من را بربیانگیزاند، اما نه آن چنانی که وجودم مملو از حیرت شود. این فیلم، چون موجی در دریا بود که بلند مینمود، سنگین و پر ابهت و خشمگین، گویی سودای دریدنِ سخرهها را دارد و من، در ساحل، غرق در مادرِ زمین، آن را تماشا کردم؛ اما پیش از این موج، و احتمالن بعد از آن، سونامیهای بسیاری بر من گذشته است.
«زمینِ دیگر»، فیلمِ قابلِ قبول و دلچسبی است. ایدهی مرکزی به شدت جذابی دارد که در عینِ حال، به راحتی نمیتوان آن را «ایدهی مرکزی» نامید. *«فلورا»، نوجوانی است که به تازگی در ام آی تی قبول شده است و در یک مهمانی (که اگر اشتباه نکنم جشنِ قبولی اوست) مست و لایعقل به سمت خانه میرود که تصادفی رخ میدهد: او جانِ یک بچه، یک مادر و یک جنین را میگیرد و پدری را به کما میفرستد. از آن جایی که او هنوز به سنِ قانونی نرسیده است، دادگاه بدونِ دادنِ اطلاعاتِ هویتی او به خانوادهی مقتول، او را به چهار سال زندان محکوم میکند. او پس از بیرون آمدن از زندان، به سوی «جان» (پدرِ خانواده که اکنون در افسردگی مزخرفی است) میشتابد تا از او عذرخواهی کند. لکن، توانِ این کار را ندارد و پس از کش و قوسی، با جان وارد یک رابطهی عاشقانه میشود.* میدانید مشکلِ در کجاست؟ مشکل دقیقن آنجایی است که خرده داستانِ دیگری در این فیلم، به شدت خودنمایی میکند: *«سیارهای یافت شده است که چهار برابر ماه است و به نظر میآید که در آن حیات وجود داشته باشد. پس از مدتی، مشخص میشود که این سیاره، کپی برابر اصلی با زمینِ خودمان است. تمامِ شهرها و رودهایی که در زمین یافت میشود، در آن زمین که نامِ «زمین ۲» شناخته میشود هم وجود دارد».*
ما چنین ایدهای را پیش از این در فیلمِ «ملانخولیا» دیده بودیم. من شخصن از ضربالمثلِ «کاسهای زیرِ نیمکاسه» برای توضیح چنین فضایی استفاده میکنم: داستانِ زمینِ دوم (و داستانِ آن سیارهای که قرار است در ملانخولیا با زمین برخورد کند)، به نوعی، «کاسه» محسوب میشوند؛ یک بافتِ کلی داستانی که تمامِ جریانِ درام و عاشقانهی این فیلم (و جریانِ درام و روانشناختانهی ملانخولیا)، به مثابهی «نیم کاسه» در ذیلِ محور آن میچرخند. هر چند که ما در نگاهِ نخست با یک داستانِ عاشقانه و درامی مواجهیم که اقتضائات خاص خودش را دارد، اما به واقع کاسهای زیرِ نیم کاسه وجود دارد که به مثابهی همین ضرب المثلِ خودمان، به ما این نهیب را میزند که مسائل، نه آن چیزی است که در نگاهِ نخست نمایان میشوند.
یکی از بزرگترین نقاطِ قوتِ این فیلم، حداقل به نظرِ من، توانایی جمع کردنِ میانِ این این کاسه و آن نیم کاسه است. فیلمنامه از این جهت استخوانبندی بندی مناسبی دارد اما همین نکته، نقطهی ضعفِ فیلمنامه هم شده است. به این معنا که پس از مدتی، مخاطب منطقِ این رابطه را درک میکند و تمامِ اتفاقاتِ پیشِ رو را بدونِ کمترین خطایی پیشبینی میکند که به نوعی، باعثِ کسل شدناش هم میشود. به طورِ مثال، از همان لحظهای که فلورا درِ خانهی جان را میزند، واضح و مبرهن است که او با جان واردِ یک رابطهی عاطفی خواهند شد و یا نحوهی پایان یافتنِ داستان.
از سویِ دیگر، فیلم از جهتِ کارگردانی و به خصوص تدوین هم کمی آزاردهنده است. در ابتدای فیلم، تدوین به نحوی ناشیانه، حداقل به نظرِ من، و با تعلیقی احمقانه پیشاپیش اطلاعرسانی میکند که تا لحظاتی دیگر ماشینِ فلورا با ماشینِ جان برخورد خواهد کرد. پرشهای سریعِ فیلم، مخاطب را از برقراری هر گونه رابطه با فیلم و فلورا محروم مینماید؛به طوری که به نظرِ من غیر از سکانسِ نواختنِ موسیقی همراه با آرشه و ارهی جان، این فیلم هیچ سکانسِ به یادماندنیای نداشت. علاوه بر این، بسیاری از کاراکترها (مانندِ پدر، مادر و برادرِ فلورا یا همکارِ او) به هیچ وجه پرداخته نمیشوند و حتی ما به غیر از عذاب وجدانِ وحشتناکِ فلورا، چیزِ زیادی از او نمیدانیم.
به این معنا، به نظر میآید که مایک کاهیل نمیتواند در بسطِ موثرِ ایدهی مرکزیاش به نهایتِ توفیق دست یابد و فرمِ ضعیفِ این فیلم باعث میشود که محتوای به شدت قابلِ احترامِ آن، به نوعی، از دست برود. چنین است که پس از پایانِ فیلم، آن چیزی که بیش از همه ذهن را درگیر میکند نه پرداختِ فرمالِ فیلم، بلکه محتوای آن است: آیا اگر زمینِ دیگری به سمتِ ما بشتابد، من «منِ دیگری» را خواهم یافت؟ معنای رابطهی عاشقانه چیست؟ فیزیکِ جدید چه میگوید؟ آیا نباید به سراغِ متافیزیک رفت؟ و از این دست سوالها… - DirectorAlbert HughesAllen HughesStarsDenzel WashingtonMila KunisRay StevensonA drifter fights his way across a ravaged, post-apocalyptic America while protecting a sacred book that holds the secrets to humanity's salvation.
