A LBM em cartaz: “O Estrangeiro”

Queridões e queridonas,

voltamos nesta quinta para o primeiro “LBM em cartaz” do ano com uma estreia que só pode ser definida como muito d-a-o-ra: filme do Jackie Chan! O enredo, no entanto, traz surpresas.

Para aquecer, vamos assistir a uma cena épica de “Quem Sou Eu?”:

Preparad@s?

***

Quando soubemos que o filme do Jackie Chan viria para a LBM, nosso gerente Johnny logo se jogou na frente do projeto e disse que seria ele a traduzir. Logo, seu depoimento é indispensável:

Traduzir um filme do Jackie Chan foi como visitar uma parte da minha infância. Quando moleque, eu vibrava com as estripulias do baixinho chinês em filmes como O Caçador de Encrencas (City Hunter), O Mestre Invencível (Drunken Master) e Arrebentando em Nova York (Rumble in The Bronx). Depois de anos sem contato com a filmografia de Chan, confesso que me surpreendi com a pegada dramática e o tom soturno de O Estrangeiro. Diferente dos personagens que o consagraram, distanciando-se da veia cômica, Chan mostra que ainda tem lenha para queimar e pode surpreender, principalmente quando vai além da pancadaria.”

O que o querido Johnny não contou foi que a parte dramática deu mais trabalho na tradução do que o antecipado! O filme tem um contexto político tão elaborado que até engole a ação em muitos momentos. Esse contexto é desenrolado no enredo pela morte da filha de Chan num atentado terrorista assinado por um grupo dissidente do IRA (será porque ninguém aguenta mais filmes ambientados na Guerra Fria?). Para efeito de tradução, o sotaque irlandês por si só já cria barreiras – no que fomos ajudados pelo roteiro. Foi necessário também entender melhor a história do IRA para fazer escolhas adequadas em relação a termos e tom para o filme.

Falando em xenofobia!

Uma das escolhas mais interessantes para o filme foi a tradução do termo Chinaman. O termo dá nome ao livro que deu origem ao roteiro do filme, que acabou levando o título mais genérico de “O Estrangeiro” (The Foreigner). A troca de título é bem óbvia na sua intenção: não ofender ninguém antes mesmo de o filme começar. Como muito bem colocado pela crítica da Variety, o termo não tem equivalência alguma com outros rótulos de nacionalidade, como Britishman ou Frenchman. No entanto, o termo é usado largamente durante o filme, deixando o tradutor numa situação delicada. A decisão final foi utilizar duas opções de tradução: para os personagens pró-Chan, usamos “chinês”; já quando os anti-Chan o chamavam, era “china”. Quem quiser ler mais sobre o termo, pode dar uma olhada nesta página da Wikipédia, está bem legal!

Mas voltando às surpresas que Jackie Chan nos traz, a verdade é que há muito que não sabemos sobre o ator. Alguém aí sabia que ele já fez um filminho adulto, ou que ele é cantor de ópera? Quem quiser saber mais curiosidades sobre Chan, pode ler este artigo que lista 16 coisas surpreendentes sobre ele. A verdade, no entanto, é que Chan não foi somente visionário ao criar o gênero de comédia com kung-fu. Ele antecipou a moda de hoje já nas décadas de 70 e 80!

Eu facilmente pegaria coisas emprestadas desse closet.

Encerramos esse post com o espírito de luta renovado. Até semana que vem!

    problems. When I look at your web site in Safari, it looks fine but
    when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues.

  38. Only Hard Xxx Vids is different every single day because
    of numerous daily updates from all over the world.
    It just caused a tidal wave of long-buried feelings to wash over
    me and the ruminations on them kept me up. In a situation many
    of us can probably identify with, Robinson awaits each missive from “Blue” with bated breath, keeping his
    phone near his bed, near the shower, never wanting to miss a
    message from the person who he by now has developed
    deep feelings for. Still struggling with not only the behavior he’s being coerced into but also his fears about coming out to his family, friends and classmates, Robinson reveals to “Blue” that he had intended to wait until after graduation,
    whereupon he could attend college completely
    out. Though Grant would continue to work in many TV projects (some
    of which included being Frances Farmer’s
    disturbed mother in Will There Really Be a Morning?, portraying Marilyn Klinghofer in the true
    story The Hijacking of the Achille Lauro and assaying
    the part of Roy Cohn’s mother in Citizen Cohn) and the
    odd film (such as Albert Brooks’ Defending Your Life, It’s My Party, which reunited her with Gregory Harrison and Mullholland Dr.), eventually her acting assignments became less and less
    frequent.
