阿森一族
出自維基百科,自由嘅百科全書
《阿森一族》(中國大陸譯《辛普森一家》,The Simpsons)係一套美國處境喜劇卡通片,作者係馬特格朗寧(Matt Groening),由福克斯廣播公司(Fox Broadcasting Company,簡稱 FOX)播嘅。曾經得到艾美獎同皮普迪獎。
《阿森一族》係美國電視史上播放時間最長嘅卡通片,到2008年為止總共有20季,總共播咗 420 集。
依部片係用辛辣嘅諷刺依家嘅人類嘅生存狀態,不過主要嘅諷刺係美國中部嘅生活模式。喺4頻道嘅嘅節目「100個最偉大嘅兒童節目」(2001)以及「100部最偉大嘅卡通片」(2005)中,《阿森一族》個名都喺榜首。另外喺「100位最偉大嘅-螢幕-形象」中:(荷馬阿森)亦名列榜首。阿森一族被好多評論家睇作係有史以來最偉大嘅動畫。時代雜誌喺2000年將題名為20世紀最偉大嘅電視節目。佢對於流行文化嘅影響至今無可比擬。

[編輯] 起源
作者馬特‧格朗寧原本就冇打算作《阿森一族》,嗰陣時佢打算向布魯克斯展示佢嘅另一套動畫短片 Life in Hell,但將佢嘅作品做成咗動畫之後會失去咗對作品嘅擁有權,佢知道之後。構思咗另一個故仔,就喺布魯克斯嘅辦公室嘅走廊上草草咁畫咗出來。故事講嘅係一個好唔正常嘅家庭,格朗寧用自己家庭成員嘅名為依個作品嘅人物命名,依個就係《阿森一族》嘅原型。
《阿森一族》首次亮相喺1987年4月19號,嗰陣時係作為動畫短片喺 The Tracy Ullman Show 中播出嘅。片名為 "Good Night"。嗰時嘅《阿森一族》被畫得好亂,因為 Matt Groening 提交嘅就係草稿,佢以為工作人員會將多餘嘅線條擦咗去,但係工作人員只係照住原樣畫咗動畫。
到咗1989年,《阿森一族》被製成咗一個半個鐘嘅電視節目,喺福克斯廣播公司播出來,嗰時福克斯啱啱成立,格朗寧收到一份契約條款,要佢確保電視台不再干預創作嘅過程,並將依個申請明顯咁顯示喺節目裏面。格朗寧作咗以下申明,佢話,佢咁做依個動畫嘅目的喺「要提供比觀眾另一個選擇,有別於主流電視台嘅垃圾節目」。第一集嘅片名叫"Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire",取代咗原本嘅第一集"Some Enchanted Evening"。嗰集因為製作好差要修改,放喺嗰季嘅最後一集。
《阿森一族》成為咗福克斯第一個「季度最高評分嘅 30 個電視節目」之一。獲得成功之後,福克斯將佢擺到喺同埋全國廣播公司嘅 The Cosby Show 同時間播出,一較高下,但打輸咗仗。另外,烏爾曼(Ullman)又起訴電視台,因為佢覺得《阿森一族》嗰陣喺佢嘅節目度播出來,而家先會獲得咁嘅成功,所以佢要求分一杯羹。最後福克斯贏咗。
《阿森一族》從一開始就受到爭議,故事人物巴特係個反叛嘅細路,經常惹事生非但係又唔受懲罰。所以一班家長組織同埋保守人士就係覺得巴特為細路樹立一個壞榜樣。美國嘅第 41 任總統老布殊(George Herbert Walker Bush)話︰「我哋希望美國嘅家庭強而有力,希望佢哋更似沃爾頓而唔係阿森一族。」
荷馬係 Springfield 核能工廠嘅安全檢查員,總體講來係一個善意嘅小丑。美枝曾經係一個好有深度嘅女人,但漸漸地適應咗主婦生活嘅定式。巴特,阿森家嘅大仔,成日惹麻煩(麗莎曾經話佢係「無法無天年輕人嘅一個惡作劇」)。巴特認為自己係反叛者,麗莎係一個好聰明嘅學生,素食主義者,佛教徒,爵士樂迷。(佢被認為係家庭嘅希望)奶嘴係一個永遠唔會大嘅細路。就算過咗好多年(有好多關於聖誕節嘅情節),阿森一家人都冇變過老。
劇中仲有好多配角,包括同事,老師,遠房親戚同埋當地名人等。好多呢啲角色都形成咗佢哋自己嘅追隨群體。
種族關係亦係劇中嘅諷刺主題,黑人總係被刻畫得好聰明,比如卡爾、赫波特醫生;現實中嘅白色人種喺劇中統統被描繪成黃色皮膚,而黃色人種嘅中國人日本人喺劇中係白色嘅皮膚。劇中亦經常諷刺商業習慣同埋人嘅性格。
好多數集嘅情節關注一個特定家庭成員嘅歷險,經常係荷馬。但係情節經常出人意表,好能反映出角色嘅特點。下面係一啲經常出現嘅情節:
- 荷馬找新工作或者參加快速致富計畫。
- 美枝試圖從單調嘅主婦生活中逃離,試著開始一種愛好。
- 巴特惹咗大麻煩並試著解決佢。
- 麗莎稱讚一特殊政治事業或者團體嘅優點。
- 全家去旅行(由於呢啲旅行,佢哋一家人除咗南極已經去過世界嘅每個大洲。)
