漫威之父史丹李10大名言:「如果你可以娛樂別人,那你就是在做好事。」
喜愛超級英雄的影迷們肯定都對漫威(Marvel)之父-史丹李(Stan Lee)的作品不陌生,於1939年入行至今的史丹李,40年代已創作岀美國隊長,之後於1961年與合作伙伴傑克科比(Jack Kirby)正式創立漫威漫畫《Marvel》,兩人共同創作岀《驚奇四超人》(Fantastic Four)、《蜘蛛人》(Spider Man)及《復仇者聯盟》(Avengers)等膾炙人口的角色。
而史丹李的作品受到大衆喜愛的關鍵在於,他筆下的超級英雄除了「超能力」以外,其餘都和普通人一樣有着普通的煩惱和普通的缺點,以真實的人生視角打造出人物個性立體的超級英雄與反派。而史丹李所經歷的英雄旅程,留予世人的還有以下10句名言語錄值得細細品味!
關於想法「擁有一個想法是世界上最簡單的事情,人人都有想法,但是你必須把這個想法變得讓人有共鳴,這很難。」
To have an idea is the easiest thing in the world. Everybody has ideas. But you have to take that idea and make it into something people will respond to — that’s hard.
關於超能力「正因爲你擁有超能力,但不代表你的感情生活將會是完美的。因此我不認爲超能力可以自動被解讀爲不存在任何人格問題、家庭問題甚至是金錢問題,所以我試着創造出一些擁有超能力的凡人角色。」
Just because you have superpowers, that doesn’t mean your love life would be perfect. I don’t think superpowers automatically means there won’t be any personality problems, family problems or even money problems. I just tried to write characters who are human beings who also have superpowers.
關於人生「沒有人擁有完美的人生,每個人都會遇到無法依自己所願的時候。」
Nobody has a perfect life. Everybody has something that he wishes was not the way it is.
關於娛樂大衆「娛樂是人們生活中最重要的事物之一,人們如果沒有它可能會走向黑暗面;我覺得,如果你可以娛樂別人,那你就是在做好事。」
Entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing.《The Washington Post》
關於幸運「許多年來,孩子們一直在問我最棒的超能力是什麼,我總是說―幸運。」
For years, kids have been asking me what’s the greatest superpower. I always say luck.
關於時機「運氣是一扇旋轉門,你只需要知道什麼時候是你大步前進的時機。」
Luck's a revolving door, you just need to know when it's your time to walk through.
關於Excelsior「你知道,我的座右銘是『Excelsior』。這是一個古老的單字,意思是『往上和往前邁向更大的榮耀。』」
You know, my motto is ‘Excelsior.’ That’s an old word that means ‘upward and onward to greater glory’.《Play Boy》
關於英雄「英雄的另一個定義是會關懷其他人的幸福,並且不顧一切地協助他們 —即使未獲得回報的機會。」
Another definition of a hero is someone who is concerned about other people’s well-being, and will go out of his or her way to help them — even if there is no chance of a reward.
關於直覺「我不會太透徹地分析事情,我發現當你越分析,越會不知該如何跟着直覺做事。」
I don’t analyze things too closely. I find the more you analyze, the more you get away from spontaneity.
關於職涯「只要我玩得開心,我就沒有必要退休。」
I don’t really see a need to retire as long as I am having fun.
Stan Lee,R.I.P.
