    头戴王冠者难安寝

    婆媳的矛盾是家务事,自古都是清官难断。可是在电影《女王》里,英国王室的家务事,却是全英国人民每天关注的电视剧,不能遮掩不说,还得接受大家的价值和道德评判。这或许是现今的王室成员必须付出的代价,王室能为了能够养尊处优、挥霍税金,付出代价也绝不会太低。

    应该说,女王是接受了这一切的,她仅仅不能接受的是公众的价值误判。女王试图用自己的智慧和阅历去维护王室的尊严,影片也在一开始就暗示她有这样资格:她在位时已经过六任首相,她更加了解英国人民的性格,或许这些不能让她很快理解戴妃和现代媒体这样的新的文化坐标,但她所握住的是厚重的、恒久的、积淀的历史精神,这不是几个如首相智囊团般一时得逞的跳梁小丑所能理解的。因此,她的坚持应该获得理解和重视,所幸的是,布莱尔首相也足够聪明和正直,终于能够在最后关头站在了公允的立场上。

    影片也揭开了一个传播学上的经典课题:相对于社会精英而言,民众是否是盲目、自私和偏执的?很多时候他们的地位和见识确实无法使他们考虑问题时顾全大局,这使他们有时看似拥立正义,实则偏袒伪善;有时看似惩恶扬善,实则冤枉忠良。随着传媒时代的到来,媒体和意见领袖稍有动作,就能轻而易举将民众的观点和情绪引向可怕的地方,民意很可能已经变成了一种并不可靠的意见表达。

    女王不屑于像那些现代媒体一像高调,这也是她和戴妃最大的不同之一。面对公众的诘难,女王采取退避三舍的做法已经表现得隐忍有余,她认为英国人民应该能够保持理智和尊严对待戴妃之死。可是,在她避开的时候,政府和媒体却在利用民众悲伤的情绪大肆鼓噪、兴风作浪,民众则远离了本该引以为荣的文化传统。

    女王说,“Nowadays, people want glamour and tears, the grand performance. I'm not very good at that. I never have been. I prefer to keep my feelings to myself, and, foolishly, I believed that was what people wanted from their Queen. の”女王捍卫的是更具价值、经得起时间考验的传统,然而此时此刻,她却有些孤独。事实上,在任何时候,都不乏这种人,承受着同样的孤独。

    在英国普通人对皇室多少还会有些残留的仰视。虽然SUN这种八卦杂志也常常抖敢把皇室八卦/丑闻刊登在封面招摇过市。
    作为世界上少数现存皇室的国家之一,更多的英国人把Queen当做了一种国家的traditional culture,是他们曾经霸主世界的印记。要知道所有英镑小到5p, 大到50pound可都华丽丽的印刷着女王头像。当然,一个男性hold一个国家都非常困难,更何况她一个老太太...
