映画を巡る事柄:字幕を語る人々
日本語字幕の品質に対して観客の側からアクションを起こすという事態に至ったのは『ロード・オブ・ザ・リング』が最初かと思いますが、それから3年余りで事態は驚く程のスピードで推移を始めました。
ここで紹介させていただく字幕翻訳家・落合氏のweblogでは、本職ではあるけれど余り名の売れていない字幕作家が、業界最大手ではあるけれどその品質の低さに関しては映画ファンが一致して賛同するであろう他の作家について、そしてそのような作家を事あるごとに"保護"する業界の体質について苦言を呈し、業界内部の方がそれに対して良く言えば情熱的、悪く言えば感情的な反論を試みる、と言った事態が発生しています。
字幕は神聖不可侵、というより作られてしまった以上どうしようもなく、改善されるにはキューブリック級の権力者を待つより無かった頃から考えれば、こうした意見の交換が行われる事自体は、驚く程の変化です。
ネットを介して声が上がり対話が試みられ始めたとはいえ、字幕作家諸子が余りにも少ない予算と時間の元で粗製濫造を余儀なくされ、観客は拙い台詞や明らかな誤訳に混乱し落胆し、その矛先が不必要に大きな怒りと共に作家や配給会社に向けられるという不幸な状況が、そう簡単に改善されるとは思えません。それには日本の映画業界は余りにも硬直し過ぎている様に思えます。
落合氏のweblogで起きている事は、そのような硬直した業界の体質をほぐす為の、ごくごく小さな端緒でもあるのでしょう。字幕を担当し制作する側が、はっきりと名前と顔を晒して糾弾する側と対峙するというのは、これまで一度としてなかった事で、私はその事を大変歓迎すべき(そして勇敢な)事と感じました。
彼の言葉にはいち観客としても反駁したい事が色々とありますが、それも含めて「内部の者」がどの様な方向性を持ちどのような価値判断の元に動いているのか、示唆してくれるものが多々あります。
願わくば松崎氏が激情に身を任せて暴走したり、落合氏が松崎氏を「敵側」と撥ね付けて対話の糸口を断ってしまう様な、ネット上ではありがちな展開に陥る事無く、実り有る対話にしていただきたいと思います。

The action photos are amazing anyone never may get bore while playing it again. In previous occasions Anonymous has orchestrated attacks against websites using what are called 'distributed denial of services attacks'. The Collier brothers had slammed their boat into the tip of a giant iceberg.
