摘要

这篇文章分析了詹姆斯·格雷的《我们拥有黑夜》(2007)，认为它是莎士比亚的《亨利亚德》的电影翻拍，它呈现了哈尔的故事，不是一个民族英雄的骑士救赎，而是一个从幸福中悲惨堕落的故事。通过对这些文本的仔细比较阅读，我探索了我们拥有夜晚是如何将哈尔的故事改写为一个(后)现代悲剧，它解决了所谓的x一代的担忧。哈尔的边缘位置——被困在犯罪和法律的对立社会世界之间——呈现了叙事的主要冲突，这本身就与简·科特对莎士比亚戏剧的悲剧愿景相呼应。

Uneasy lies the heart that wears a badge: James Gray’s We Own the Night as a Gen-X Henriad

This article analyses James Gray’s We Own the Night (2007) as a cinematic retelling of Shakespeare’s Henriad that presents Hal’s story not as the chivalric redemption of a national hero but as a tragic fall from happiness. Through close comparative reading of these texts, I explore how We Own the Night rewrites Hal’s story as a (post)modern tragedy which addresses the concerns of the so-called Generation X. Hal’s liminal position—caught between opposing social worlds of crime and law—presents the narrative’s major conflict, which itself echoes Jan Kott’s tragic vision of Shakespeare’s play.
