Hirokazu Koreeda's latest "Like Father, Like Son" won two prizes in Cannes in May. In it there're two families, a wealthy professional couple, with one expensively educated and rather quiet son, and a rougher family with three children where the father mends electrical goods. They too have a boy, the same age, but he's tougher and noisier. But in fact, it emerges that the boys were swapped at birth in the hospital. So what should the parents feel or do now, Hirokazu Koreeda?
I did some research into this. These incidents occurred fairly frequently about 40 years ago in Japan. And having researched into them, they always ended up choosing the child who's related by blood instead of children they nurtured. So, yes I have actually based it on some real incidents and some case studies.
If in the majority of these real cases, the parents chose to have the bloodchild rather than the child, nurtured, does that suggest that the whole idea of blood and descendancy is very important even now in contemporary Japan?
Yes, although I don't think that the idea is so popular now, as compared to 40 years ago. I think perhaps more liberal-minded people in Japan, would say no, no, the blood isn't that important. But it is still traditionally a strong notion, especially in Japan, and also in Korea where the culture of bloodlines and heredity is very important. And so for this film, I've given the main character, the dilemma of thinking about this problem.现在,一位导演温和地讨论着现代日本的父子关系。这位导演以其感情细腻、以家庭关系为主题的电影闻名。他的几部作品中不乏孩子们的本色表演,例如《无人知晓》、《步伐不停》和《奇迹》。是枝裕和的新片《如父如子》于五月在戛纳电影节上获得两项大奖。这部影片中有两个家庭,一个家境优渥,夫妻二人有稳定的工作,还有一个受到优秀教育、沉默寡言的儿子;另一家生活窘迫,有三个孩子,父亲是电器修理工。这家也有一个同岁的儿子,但是生性爱吵闹、难于管教。然而,事实上,这两个男孩刚出生时在医院里被互换了。于是,是枝裕和导演,这两家的父母该如何抉择?
对此我做了点研究。在40年前的日本,抱错孩子的机率相当高。研究后,我发现,他们最后总会选择有血缘关系的孩子,而不是养子。所以说,是的,这部电影确实是基于一些真实事件和案例创作的。
如果在大多数真实事件中,父母放弃了养子,选择了亲身孩子,这是否说明甚至在现代日本,血缘与传宗接代的观念仍十分重要?
是的,不过我认为和40年前相比,这种观念已不再那么普遍。我想,观念更开明的日本人会说不,不,血缘并没有那么重要,不过这依旧是一种很强烈的传统观念。在日本和韩国这些血统和遗传文化占重要地位的国家尤其如此。所以,在这部电影中,我把主角置于这样的两难处境,让他来思考这个问题。
