我们为什么要认真对待希区柯克呢? 这个问题的提出便是令人遗憾的:假如电影真正被看成是一门独立的艺术而不仅仅是小说或戏剧的附属品,假如我们还能观看电影而不是在内心把它转化为文学,则没有必要提出上述问题。但既然目前的状况如此,似乎不正视这一问题便无法下笔撰写一部关于希区柯克的著作。 Why should we take Hitchcock seriously? The question is raised regrettably: If the film is really seen as an independent art, not just an accessory of novels or plays, if we can watch Movies rather than turning it into literature in the heart, there is no need to raise these issues. However, since the current situation is so, it seems impossible to write a book on Hitchcock’s writings without looking squarely at it.
