You know, my favorite part of being a dad

I love sharing my favorite movies with my kids,

我喜歡與孩子一起看我最愛的電影

we got to watch "The Wizard of Oz" together.

It totally dominated her imagination for months.

讓她有好幾個月都沉浸在幻想裡

Her favorite character was Glinda, of course.

It gave her a great excuse to wear a sparkly dress

所以她也想學葛琳達 穿上閃亮的衣服

and you start to realize how unusual it is.

你就會開始發現這部電影很特別

Now we live today, and are raising our children,

in a kind of children's-fantasy-spectacular-industrial complex.

都是在一種夾雜著小孩幻想的工業複合世界之中

Forty years later was when the trend really caught on,

rescuing a girl by dressing up as the enemy's guards.

Do you know what I'm talking about? (Laughter)

Now, there's a big difference between these two movies,

這兩部電影之間有一個很大的差異

a couple of really big differences between "The Wizard of Oz"

跟”綠野仙蹤”有兩三個很大的差異

One is there's very little violence in "The Wizard of Oz."

其中一個差異就是”綠野仙蹤”有點暴力

The monkeys are rather aggressive, as are the apple trees.

But I think if "The Wizard of Oz" were made today,

但是我想如果今天要拍”綠野仙蹤”

the wizard would say, "Dorothy, you are the savior of Oz

女巫會說:桃樂絲 你是奧茲王國的救星

the computer-generated armies of the Wicked Witch."

Another thing that's really unique about "The Wizard of Oz"

絕頂聰明 甚至是窮兇惡極的角色

when I actually showed "Star Wars" to my daughter,

which was years later, and the situation was different.

He was not invited to the screening. He was too young for that.

我不讓他一起看 年紀還太小 還不適合

and the level of supervision had plummeted. (Laughter)

我已經沒有力氣管這麼多(笑聲)

and I don't think he understands what's going on,

我還不知道是什麼東西讓他這麼著迷

Is he picking up on the themes of courage

joins an army to overthrow the government?

在”星際大戰”裡 只有男性角色

except for Aunt Beru, and of course this princess,

who's really cool, but who kind of waits around through most of the movie

她真的很酷 但在電影裡她多半只是在一旁等待

so that she can award the hero with a medal and a wink

所以她才會用獎牌和媚眼獎勵英雄

to thank him for saving the universe, which he does

Compare this to 1939 with "The Wizard of Oz."

在電影裡 桃樂絲最後是如何獲勝?

That's kind of the world I'd rather raise my kids in --

我就是想讓我的小孩活在那種世界

Oz, right? -- and not the world of dudes fighting,

就像奧茲王國 對吧?而不是吵吵鬧鬧的世界

我們現在就有點像生活在那種世界

Why is there so much Force -- capital F, Force --

為什麼有這麼多”壓力”(現實)

在現在我們為這些小孩準備的電影裡

There is a lot of great writing about the impact

討論男性暴力的電影對女性造成的影響

and you should do that reading. It's very good.

大家應該去看看這些文章 很有幫助

I haven't read as much on how boys are picking up on this vibe.

我還不知道男生有沒有這種感覺

Princess Leia did not provide the adequate context

我知道莉亞公主沒有適當的背景

that I could have used in navigating the adult world

when I really expected the credits to start rolling

because that's the end of the movie, right?

因為這樣就表示電影結束了 對吧?

The movies are very, very focused on defeating the villain

這幾部電影的重點在於打敗敵人

and getting your reward, and there's not a lot of room

for other relationships and other journeys.

留給其他角色的感情關係和旅程

and if you are a girl, you should bring your warrior costume.

and I will defend the Disney princesses in front of any you.

我會在你們每一位面前保護迪士尼電影裡的公主

但這些電影也傳達一種訊息給男孩

that they are not, the boys are not really the target audience.

They are doing a phenomenal job of teaching girls

but they are not necessarily showing boys

how they're supposed to defend against the patriarchy.

在父權社會他們應該如何保護自己
