在好莱坞的经典西部片中,偶尔也有着这样一批职业女性,她们走出了家庭,在那适者生存的西部蛮荒之地上,与男性争锋。早期美国银幕上的妇女总是遵守妇道、贞静婉约,家庭就是她们的天地,而男性则承担了个人奋斗的一面。这在好莱坞的传统西部片中可以清楚地看到。西部片中的男人(牛仔)总是游离于自然与小镇之间,崇尚自由,凭借着暴力在一片蛮荒之地上开辟出正义的乐土;女人则温柔且忠诚,以自己的品格和魅力把桀骜不驯的男性英雄重新唤回到社区和家庭的秩序中来。但这并非是绝对的,在那些经典的西部片中,偶尔也有着这样一批职业女性的身影,她们走出了家庭,在那适者生存的西部蛮荒之地上,与男性争锋。虽然这个过程比我们想象得还要曲折而且隐晦,但随着一部部电影的足迹,我们的确可以看见一个女性独立的历程。 In Hollywood’s classic western films, there are occasional working women who have gone out of their homes to fight men in the Wild West where the fittest lives. In the early days, women on the American screen were always abide by the women’s principle, their virginity was graceful, the family was their world, and the men took the personal struggle. This is clearly seen in Hollywood’s traditional western movies. The men in the western films (cowboys) are always free from the nature and the town, advocating freedom, opening up a paradise of justice in a wild place by violence, while women are gentle and loyal, with their own character and charm Rebellious masculine men reclaim community and family order. But this is not absolute. In those classic western films, there are occasional such professional women who have gone out of their homes to fight men in the Wild West where the fittest lives. Although this process is more twists and turns than we thought, but with the footsteps of a movie, we can indeed see an independent process of women.
