最近,一部由巴西导演执导的电影《中国制造》在巴西两大城市举行了首映礼,这部电影讲述的是巴西如何接纳中国移民的故事。
从1810年葡萄牙殖民者将澳门人带到巴西开始,到今天,生活在巴西的中国移民已经有大约20万,而这其中有相当一部分人都是经商者。最近,由巴西导演西亚瓦塔执导的电影《中国制造》在圣保罗和里约热内卢举行了首映式,伴随着观众爆发出的阵阵笑声,导演通过诙谐的口吻,展示了一个关于中国商人如何在巴西成长、巴西人如何接纳中国移民和文化的故事:“如今,中国不仅是在巴西,而且也正在全世界范围内迅速地崛起。我想通过我的电影,向人们讲述我生活的城市里正在发生的事情,讲述中国人的到来不仅给巴西带来了中国制造的产品,还有中国的文化。现在中国人已经越来越多地出现在我们巴西的文化中,展示着不同于其他东方国家的色彩,我觉得这对于我们两个国家来说都是一种进步。”
这部电影以里约著名的撒哈拉商业中心为原型,演绎了阿拉伯商家和中国商家由激烈竞争到结为同盟的故事。过去,撒哈拉商业中心曾是阿拉伯和犹太商人的领地,现在却变成了中国商人的天下。片中少女晶晶的扮演者王伊立如角色一样,也是在17岁时与母亲来到巴西,7年来在这里生活的经历让她切身感受了巴西人的包容:“在巴西并没有像其他国家一样,有‘唐人街’或者‘中国城’,这是因为在巴西所有人不管是阿拉伯人、犹太人、巴西人还是中国人,都是像朋友一样的,这也就是为什么到现在都没有‘唐人街’和‘中国城’的原因。所以我觉得巴西人的包容性是非常值得我们学习的。”
