Abstract

This article focuses on the omnipresent religiosity that permeates Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996). The film creates an unconventional combination of a dystopian world – where violence, love, wealth and Catholicism are closely intertwined – and keenly focuses on the Capulets’ and the Montagues’ troubling relationship with religion. Drawing on previous studies by critics such as Christopher Baker, James N. Loehlin and Alan Hager, this article deals, first, with the various ways in which Luhrmann shows transgressions of Catholic faith and practices; second, how his film transgresses the original source text in religious terms; and third, how these transgressions also relate to a spiritual journey towards reconciliation.
违法的天主教
本文关注的是巴兹·鲁尔曼的《罗密欧与朱丽叶》(1996)中无处不在的宗教信仰。这部电影创造了一个反乌托邦世界的非传统组合——暴力、爱情、财富和天主教紧密交织在一起——并敏锐地关注了凯普莱特家族和蒙太古家族与宗教之间令人不安的关系。借鉴克里斯托弗·贝克、詹姆斯·n·洛林和艾伦·海格等评论家先前的研究,本文首先探讨了鲁尔曼表现出对天主教信仰和实践的违背的各种方式;其次,他的电影如何在宗教方面违背了原始文本;第三,这些罪过是如何与通往和解的精神之旅联系在一起的。
