　　今年正好是Oliver Stone导演的电影《天生杀人狂》20周年纪念，也是电影《亚历山大大帝》的10周年纪念。

　　This year is the 20th anniversary for Stone's film "Natural Born Killer," and 10th anniversary for his film "Alexander."

　　This is the anniversary; the new Blu-Ray disc's are out. It is a very wonderful film to see because it is done in a different style from the 1990's. It is very fast. Lot's of cuts; 2000 to 3000 cuts. It was extraordinary at the time. Now it's perhaps more accepted. The ideas of the film is very satirical, theatre of the absurd, makes fun, bitter fun, dark fun about the United States, and its culture of violence, and it is sensationalism in the media of violence, and the prison system, and perversion of a culture.

　　趁着今年正好是两部电影十周年和二十周年纪念，两部新版的蓝光光碟也刚上市不久。

　　这部翻新的版本跟90年代那个版本的很不一样，它要符合现代人的口味，每个镜头都需要简单明了，因此新版里的每个镜头剪切得都很短。在过去，这种剪辑手法可能比较特别；而现在就很普遍了。本片是从一个新鲜的角度来审视美国对暴力的渲染并讽刺美国新闻媒体的疯狂。它纯属一部反讽美国变态文化的“荒诞派戏剧”。

　　Meiling: Your series "The Untold History of the United States" is available in China right now. What do you have to do for the preparation for the film to be available in China for such a different culture?

　　金美翎：您的纪录片《不为人知的美国历史》已经在中国网络上播映了。对于这个新版本，您需要做哪些剪辑工作它才适合在中国播放呢？

　　The film, I hope it will eventually play on the Chinese television. It is 12 hours long. It is five years of work. It is one of the most intense things I have ever done. I think it is beautiful. It tells in a documentary style made by a filmmaker, a very beautiful but sad story about the United States from 1898 to 2013. Misplacing its imagination, misplacing its opportunity to be a great country. I am sad, because it is a country I wanted it to be… I am proud of it, and I like the country, but I feel strong enough to criticize it, to make it a better country.

　　我希望这部纪录片最终能在中国电视上播出。此片时长12个小时，而拍摄时间长达5年。我把很多心血都投入进去了。这部纪录片的拍摄手法很美妙，它记录了在1898年到2013年期间美国所发生的一些可悲的事件。美国，这个国家把重心放错了位置，失去了可以打造美好未来的方向。虽然我很爱美国，但是我真的替我的国家难过。我觉得我有责任去批评它，从而能让美国改变现状。

　　Meiling: Recently, you just traveled to China, and you are really well-received in China. It is really difficult to adapt into the Chinese culture and to co-producing the films. Do you have work in plan in China?

　　金美翎：近期，您有到访过中国，且反映良好。像您这样的美国导演能深入了解中国文化并与其合作是比较难的。您有在中国拍摄电影的打算吗？

　　I am going back to China actually a week after next to the Xion Festival. I am always well-treated in China. I may make a movie there. There is a censorship issue in China (in the films). It is always continuous. I love Chinese culture, and I think there is a lot to learn from it. Who knows, we will see.

　　其实下周，我会再次走访中国出席参加一个电影节。中国人民总是待我很好。我是有在中国拍电影的打算。中国政府对电影媒体的内容审查的确非常严格，而且也是长久之计。我喜欢中国文化。我觉得中国有很多我们可以学习的地方。以后看看再说。
