小姐与流浪汉

圣诞节时一只小狗淑女成为了吉姆送给太太的礼物，淑女就在充满爱的环境里快乐地成长。却在女主人怀孕后却感到被冷落，郁郁寡欢。婴孩出生后，主人们一起去旅行。他们找来当保姆的姑妈非常讨厌淑女。淑女因某次误会被迫逃离了家，巧遇一只流浪狗并跟他成了朋友，经过一连串的冒险与冲突，他们之间的感情也不断滋长。后来淑女顺利返回家中，与流浪狗结婚，过着快乐的生活。
最近找老片看才发现，两只狗吃意大利面而接吻的画面是出自这部动画电影。这部动画的风格和迪斯尼出品的其他作品不同，它把场景安排到了我们的现实生活中，一切都让人那么熟悉，别墅、餐厅、公园。也许从现在的角度来看这部电影情节老套、简单，可你也不能否认，在通过小狗狗们来表达感情方面完成得十分细腻动人，同时，在其被称为经典上功不可没的也有那些美妙的歌曲。

十月的南京钟山景区，桂花香沁人心脾。睡前，一片安宁和花香中，欣赏了有趣的美国动画片《LADY AND TRAMP》，译作《小姐和流浪汉》。

小姐丽滴是只具有真正高贵和王室风貌的骑士查理王猎犬，天然的贵族气质和养尊处优的生活环境让这只小狗显得格外招人喜爱。被宠爱、爱撒娇、带着闪亮的颈圈、有好朋友，过着快乐甜美的生活。

流浪汉长云是只机灵、勇敢、爱玩的威尔士梗品种的狗，标榜崇尚自由、摈弃被人养、带项圈、要讨好主人的生活，他长期到处流浪，以火车站废弃的岗亭为家，在汤尼的餐馆或其他任何地方觅食，随时应对捕狗队的追踪，然而乐在其中，每天好心情，甚至“四处留情”。

这样的丽滴、这样的长云，原本像两条平行线不该有任何交集，各过各活，各行各路。

然而，丽滴的女主人怀孕了，主人们似乎没有很多的爱继续给丽滴了。在内心挣扎和朋友们的劝慰下，丽滴终于勇敢面对并适应了。但更糟糕的是，宝宝出生后不久，主人夫妇出门度假，体型硕大的莎拉姑妈被请来帮忙照顾小婴儿。莎拉姑妈不喜欢狗，她的宠物猫更不喜欢狗，管她丽滴有多美多高贵。

终于，丽滴在被动物收留所套上口罩后，弃家而逃，她曾多么留恋热爱忠诚于那个家呀！在逃离的路上，长云完美表现“英雄救美”，最终博得丽滴的心，也给自己的心找到了归宿，他们一起在丽滴的主人家快乐幸福的生活着。

20世纪初的动画总是和柔美与精致并提. 动画中的每一个角色都为精心设计, 每一个情节都为反复推敲. 与现在的纯搞笑式动画相比, 高在境界与立意. 这不是一个单纯的爱情故事, 这也是它的成功所在. 可惜为了追求爱的完美, 结尾处硬是把Tramp变成了家狗. 但在每位影迷的心中, 定会有更美好的结局.

CHARLOTTE: Saturday, I took my niece, who’s seven, to see the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp. She loved it! It was so cute. I’m beginning to fall in love with the whole idea of having kids.

ALICE: I hate that movie.

CHARLOTTE: What?

ALICE: It’s so tacky. Not to mention depressing.

CHARLOTTE: This sweet movie about cute cartoon dogs you found depressing?

JOSH: There is something depressing about it, and it’s not really about dogs. Except for some superficial bow-wow stuff at the start, the dogs all represent human types, which is where it gets into real trouble. Lady, the ostensible protagonist, is a fluffy blonde cocker spaniel with absolutely nothing on her mind. She’s great looking but, let’s be honest, incredibly insipid. Tramp, the love interest, is a smarmy braggart of the most obnoxious kind. An oily jailbird, out for a piece of tail, or whatever he can get.

CHARLOTTE: Oh, c’mon.

JOSH: No, he’s a self-confessed chicken thief—an all around sleaze ball. What’s the function of a film of this kind? Essentially it’s a primer on love and marriage directed at very young people; imprinting on their little psyches the idea that smooth talking delinquents, recently escaped from the local pound, are a good match for nice girls from sheltered homes. When in ten years, the icky human version of Tramp shows up around the house, their hormones will be racing, and no one will understand why. Films like this program woman to adore jerks.

DES: God, you’re nuts!

JOSH: The only sympathetic character, the little Scotty who’s so loyal and concerned about Lady, is mocked as old-fashioned and irrelevant, and shunted off to the side.


DES: Isn’t the whole point that Tramp changes? OK, maybe in the past he stole chickens, ran around without a license, and wasn’t always sincere with members of the opposite sex. But through his love for Lady, and beneficent influences of Fatherhood and Matrimony, he changes and becomes a valued member of that rather idealic household.

JOSH: I don’t think people really change that way. We can change our context, but we can’t change ourselves.

ALICE: I agree with Josh. Scotty is the only admirable character. It would have been a much better movie if Lady ended up with him.

DES: I’m really surprised. I think Tramp really changed.

JOSH: Maybe he wanted to change, or tried to change, but there is not a lot of integrity there. First he’d be hanging around the house, drinking, watching ball games, maybe knocking Lady around a little bit. But pretty soon, he’d be back at the town dump chasing tail.

DES: Oh give me a break! Are you taking your medication? Because what you’re saying is completely nuts!
