2miao/ text

Elena Ferrante, a Italy writer who has not yet published his true identity, has launched the "Naples four Trilogy" from 2011 to 2014, which has aroused worldwide "Ferrante fever". The four novel tells the story of friendship between Elena and Lila, which spanned nearly half a century. After the war, Italy was still not restored to life, and the two girls grew together in the broken Naples block. They experienced their reunion in the adult age and reunited in the following years. Their long friendship included competition and competition, and each other pushed the other side into a completely different person. The birth of a road also reflects another self.

The drama version has been produced and broadcast for two seasons. In 2018, the first quarter of my genius girlfriend was launched. The second season "new name story" was first released in Italy at the end of 1 this year and landed on the HBO streaming platform in the middle of March. As of April 1st, the Chinese audience who had marked "already seen" on the bean paste had exceeded 40 thousand people, and the score reached 9.5 points.

From novels to dramas, the story of Elena and Lila breaks through the barriers of language and society through different media, and reaches readers and audiences in various countries. Why do their complex and intertwined life trajectories arouse everyone's sympathy? How can film adaptation show the rich and exquisite female feelings in the original work? When we encounter the fresh characters in the book again, do we revisit the feeling of the text, or can we gain new thoughts and insights?

The story of the new name is divided into eight episodes, which focuses on the life of Elena and Lila in their maturity. The two adults close to adulthood hate the narrow and snobbish relationship of their neighborhoods. Elena chose to flee and gradually get closer to the wider outer world through her studies. The more attractive Lila chose to accept fate and subvert the male dominated society.

"Empowerment for women" is undoubtedly the prevailing trend of the times. All kinds of cultural products are emphasizing women's sense of autonomy. But we have seen so many films and television works recently that we are building an imaginary "women's alliance". The loud voice of "unity is strength" has drowned the specific and true expression of intimacy between women. The reason why the four trilogy of Naples is able to arouse widespread resonance is precisely because it has broken the simplicity and dignity of the so-called "women's friendship". Elena and Lila need and depend on each other, but competition and jealousy really sustain this long-term relationship. In the story of the new name, although the competition between the two students came to an end, the contest of life experience began gradually.

Their bodies begin to detect instinctive desires, and the longing and expectation of love will drive girls to take bold risks, and the trend of the times is also providing them with new possibilities. Ferrante planted various male roles around Elena and Lila, but the two fell in love with Nino. Nino, a handsome and satiated poet, contrasts sharply with other vulgar men. He satisfies Elena and Lila's expectation of the opposite sex, but also shares the male's common inferiority. Their complex and different feelings because of Nino affect the audience. Emotions, such as passion, happiness, loss and pain, are mixed up for two different young girls' minds. We can find their shadows in them.

The first two episodes of my first girlfriend of the first season were premiered at the Venice Film Festival, while the second quarter of the new name story was also shown in a small theater in Italy. The boundaries between the big screen and the small screen are fading away, but only the best TV shows can enter the movie festivals and cinemas. Realistic era landscaping, appropriate selection of corners and performances, accurate and appropriate plot selection, this series of drama has already reflected the greatest respect for the original text, but the difference between different media is also obvious.

Those who read the original will know that each part of the four trilogy contains a huge and rich emotional universe. Ferrante used Elena's first person narration throughout the novel to excavate a girl's hidden heart which seemingly relied on her diligence and diligence to change her fate through knowledge. The characteristics of TV play are constantly pushing forward the plot, so it is difficult to follow the same person's perspective and give full play to the inner world. So we often hear hints from voiceover, and Elena is revealing her inner monologue.

In any case, images provide unique audio-visual experience that words can not produce. In the second quarter, Alice Rohrbach, a female director in Italy, also directed two of them. A large number of close-up shots of the actors' face and body, detailed moral composition and so on are ingenious and more commonly used in the design of films to be applied to TV dramas. No doubt, the audience can better understand the motives of the characters in a limited time, and realize the emotional concentration contained in the roles.
