摘要
尼古拉斯兄弟制作的音乐喜剧电影揭露了30年代好莱坞存在的令人震惊的种族主义刻板印象。在1934年上映的电影《百万少年》(Kid Millions)中,歌手艾迪·康托(Eddie Cantor)的黑脸演唱了《我想成为一名歌手》(I Want to be a Minstrel Man),而哈罗德·尼古拉斯(Harold Nicholas)干净明亮的脸的特写镜头也唱着同样的歌词,兄弟俩不得不扮演明星的陪戏。尼古拉斯兄弟继续挑战种族刻板印象,在《嫉妒》(1934)、《美国妻子》(1936)、《大广播》(1936)、《黑色网络》(1936)和《全彩色杂耍秀》(1935)中展示了他们在歌舞方面的精湛技艺。
Musical comedy films made by the Nicholas Brothers bring to light the staggering racist stereotyping that existed in Hollywood in the thirties. In the Minstrel Night scene in Kid Millions (1934), star Eddie Cantor in blackface sings “I Want to be a Minstrel Man,” with close-ups on the clean, bright face of Harold Nicholas, singing the same lyrics, and the brothers having to play end men to the star. Nicholas Brothers continue to defy racial stereotyping, demonstrating their virtuosic brilliance in song and dance in Jealousy (1934), American Wife (1936), Big Broadcast of 1936, Black Network (1936), and The All-Colored Vaudeville Show (1935).
