以媒體為主題的影片


以媒體為主題的影片

前兩週「媒體素養」課播放了電影「奔騰年代」(Seabiscuit , 2003) DVD,同學需以該片為教材,設計後續教學活動。至於教學活動的對象、時間甚或科目不拘,但需有一致性。結果無論課堂簡述,或書面報告,各組都展現了豐富、有延伸性的議題,可見用心。

各組大都以該片主題-人在逆境或遭逢挫折時如何因應為核心,探討如何建立積極、正向人生觀,或教導學生體認「天生我材必有用」、「天將降大任」、「殘而不廢」等。僅一組以「媒體訊息產製」為主軸,設計大學通識課「媒體素養」,重點放在主角霍華如何操作媒體,如透過媒體向另一匹馬海軍上將的主人發戰帖,以及媒體報導時捕風捉影等。

運用影片進行教學或討論,本就是創意發揮,有其多元性;本片片長141分鐘,多線進行,然因主角操弄媒體的部分不算多,故教學聚焦於媒體訊息產製恐不太符合「比例原則」;如以學習的「主學習」「、副學習」、「附學習」分類,恐怕至多是附學習。

課堂上提到要瞭解媒體產業或操弄,有其他更適合的影片,如Dustin Hoffman主演的搖擺狗,Broadcast News,和前不久Cinemax重播的「媒體先鋒」(The paper)等。

這幾天腦海中搜索與媒體有關的影片,想到下列幾部:1976年的「螢光幕後」(Network)、1987年的「收播新聞」(Broadcast News,),1994年的「媒體先鋒」(The paper),以及我課堂上沒說完整、1997年的「桃色新聞搖擺狗」(Wag the dog)。這當中以「搖擺狗」最為國人熟悉,該片談政客藉其他事件「聲東擊西」轉移媒體注意力,國內外都可找到類似的案例。

當然,以上電影僅是個人記憶所及的幾部,絕非全部。

「螢光幕後」推出時我在美國讀書,傳播專題課上師生曾熱烈討論。該片探討了商業電視的流弊,如收視率掛帥扭曲了新聞本質,以及電視對年長者的歧視(主播年老收視下滑),不僅反映媒體冷酷現實,也留下許多讓人不寒而慄的問題。當然,次年男主角Peter Finch獲奧斯卡男主角獎,是過世獲獎者的第一人。「收播新聞」影片背景是地方電視台的新聞部。三位主角中,一位是專業、有內涵但外貌不佳的男記者,一位是沒啥內涵但外表出眾的男主播,及一位女性新聞節目製作人。結果是草包男主播高升到總台當主播,專業的男記者回到報社,多年後三人重聚。該片相當嘲諷了電視「以貌取人」,金玉其外的男主播將新聞當成演戲,為了博收視,可拍下自己「擠」出流淚的畫面,再剪接上新聞片段,顯示自己訪問時對當事人的同情;女製作人調出帶子看到了母帶,質疑男主播的「流淚表演」違反新聞的求真,也壓下兩人萌芽的情愫。該片首播時我在Indiana大學進修,記得有同學八卦,說本片影射自1983年開始擔任ABC 晚間新聞主播的 Peter Jennings (Pennings 已於2005年暑假肺癌過世)。

「媒體先鋒」(The paper),男主角為紐約某報的主編,在面臨報導的角度、截稿時限,以及即將分娩的太太等多重壓力下,定出了事情輕重緩急,並展現新聞專業工作者在鍥而不捨追真相,及為落實媒體守門人的努力。故事發生在一天,從白天、黑夜到次日黎明。看完後對於報紙編輯室的作業,及編輯相關人員的角色會有基本認識。至於「桃色新聞搖擺狗」,該片演員出色,詮釋入微,被認為是政客操弄媒體以遂私利的經典之作。

本文除了補充相關影片資訊,也提醒當我們看到某一新聞或事件,避免遽下斷語或先入為主,要記得理性與批判思考,自我提醒勿忘閱讀人接觸媒體訊息時的主導權。如近日富士康員工跳樓事件的報導,何妨自問,真的如此嗎?因為Things are not what they seem,  表層之下還有許多潛藏的因素不可輕忽。
