BARBRA STREISAND - 4/4 : "Yentl Syndrome 恩桃綜合症"




"Yentl Syndrome 恩桃綜合症"
美國 "國立衛生研究院 National Institutes of Health" 第十三任主管 Bernadine Healy 博士, 1991年撰寫的心臟病症狀學術論文, 她用上 "Yentl Syndrome" 這新詞彙; 她承認這是由於看過 Barbra Streisand 1984年主演的電影 "YENTL" 所啟發。

"Yentl Syndrome" 直譯 "恩桃綜合症" 的論文, 經醫學研究和分析, 是源於女性心臟病發時與男性有所分别, 問題是許多醫學研究, 主要是集中在男性心臟病的症狀上, 而忽略了女性的症狀和生活上有別於男性, 因此, 不少女性由於偏差的診斷而引致死亡, 但醫學上仍以兩者合一作研究結論; Bernadine Healy 博士認為男女的症狀有别, 應該要獨立處理和分析, 這議題成為她這篇學術論文的基礎。相反, 在同性戀的議題, 一些學者對性取向的研究, 亦有男女之分的論述, 但是, 至今仍沒法取得共識。

"Yentl the Yeshiva Boy" - 小説
原著作品有更令人惘然的結局: "Hadass 在家庭反對下, 取消了與 Avigdor 的婚約。隱藏着女兒身的 "Yentl" 早已心繫 Avigdor, 但發覺他滿不在乎, 又不能明顯地引起他會意, 因此答應了 Hadass 的婚事來激怒他作報復, 但受苦的卻是自己。最終, Avgidor 與一位唯物主義的女店主, 被丈夫離棄的 Peshe 結婚"。

故事的終結, 令許多問題留下來; 而 Avigdor 是唯一知道 Anshel 是女兒身, 但是, 自此始終, "Yentl" 亦沒有跟 Avgidor 剖白對他的愛意, 唯有離開家鄉波蘭。

西方《梁山伯 與 祝英台》YENTL - "The Way He Makes Me Feel" 

YENTL《恩 桃》- 電影
影迷看過猶太版《梁山伯 與 祝英台》的片段, 故事中的 "Yentl" 是個生於猶太傳統世俗的女孩, 以易服來衝破這個傳統, 對西方文化以外作出抗爭而已。但是, 電影並沒有把 "Yentl" 這角色在異性戀一面多些描繪, 影迷衹看到她離開波蘭家鄉, 遠赴自由開放的美國作電影的完結。當年, 有一些影評人士認為"角色性别"的取向, 含糊不清, 沒有交待; 另外, 影片引起的議論是社會不公, 令致女性不能享有平等的機會而已。

LGBT 
電影中, 女主角的性取向, 令觀眾有不同的議論; 但是 "Yentl" 這電影已言明 "她既不是另一個性別, 祗是一個女性身上有着男人的靈魂" 而已, 因此, 正好質疑每個觀眾對不同性取向的認同; 如果電影中的 "Yentl" 要選擇餘生仍繼續以易服 Anshel 的身分活下去的話, 今天, 我們可否以宏觀和較開明的態度去相對呢?

無可否認, 故事背後卻有女權主義的啟示。從這一齣八十年代的電影情節來看, "Yentl" 是個敢於背叛和不惜唾棄世俗的女孩, 衹因社會不公而作出呼喚, 亦是為了過去和現今的同志, 打開了"出櫃"的一線門縫。



"Papa, can you hear me?" Barbra Streisand - Live 1987

Prayer:
Oh God-our heavenly Father
Oh, God-and my father
Who is also in heaven
May the light of this
Flickering candle
Illuminate the night the way
Your spirit illuminates my soul


Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you see me?
Papa can you find me in the night?
Papa are you near me?
Papa, can you hear me?
Papa, can you help me not be frightened?
Looking at the skies I seem to see
A million eyes which ones are yours?
Where are you now that yesterday
Has waved goodbye
And closed its doors?
The night is so much darker
The wind is so much colder
The world I see is so much bigger
Now that I'm alone 

Papa, please forgive me
Try to understand me
Papa, don't you know I had no choice?
Can you hear me praying
Anything I'm saying
Even though the night is filled with voices?
I remember everything you taught me
Every book I've ever read
Can all the words in all the books
Help me to face what lies ahead?
The trees are so much taller
And I feel so much smaller
The moon is twice as lonely
And the stars are half as bright

Papa, how I love you
Papa, how I need you
Papa, how I miss you
Kissing me good night
