The Ban (2024)
The Ban IMDb TMDB
In 1988, following a wave of IRA atrocities, the British Government introduced a Broadcasting Ban, silencing Sinn Féin and other loyalist and republican paramilitary groups by forbidding broadcasters to allow anyone affiliated with these bodies to speak on television or radio. Bizarrely, however, a legal loophole allowed broadcasters to circumvent the ban by simply employing actors to re-voice the original sequences. Using unseen archive footage and present-day interviews with key figures such as Gerry Adams and Stephen Rea, The Ban reflects on the British government’s use of the threat of ‘terrorism’ to justify censorship, drawing inevitable comparisons with the present.

即使在切·格瓦拉去世多年以后的今天,他还在为反对运动尽力尽责。正如同他所说的:“革命是永垂不朽的!”但他万万没有想到这次的革命,却是透过一张他的照片启动。 1960年,古巴摄影师在一场爆炸案的集体丧礼中,补捉到切·格瓦拉瞬间的神韵,他略带忧郁的表情,热烈的眼神,加上摇滚明星般的不羁外貌,这张照片开启了无数年轻人对于革命、反叛和心灵自由的追求,展开理想主义的新纪元。 从那以后,切·格瓦拉这个著名的共产主义者的面孔就出现在全球各地,俨然成为一种符号的象征、一种文化的流行,他的头像大量出现在T-shirt上、帽子上、汽车上、手表上、婴儿的袜子、CD封面、戒指首饰上、背包上,甚至成为刺青的图腾与内裤,但讽刺的是,他的头像却成为无价的广告,是资本主义市场烟酒品牌觊觎使用的对象。 导演在这部记录片中做了最客观的平衡报导,结合了艺术家、历史学家、古巴人民,饰演切·格瓦拉的演员们的多方观点,甚至包括他的革命运动,探讨了切·格瓦拉的照片如何传播全球,从挂在哈瓦那工作室的墙面,到欧洲的小街巷弄,揭露这张谜样凝视的照片如何演化,成为无数象征意涵的改变。
