Shorts 5: Various Documents (Social Remix)

短片五: 人世人事

拯救樂生療養院/西門町附近幾近傾倒的眷村與遷居/酗酒/以及兩個武漢的計程車司機如何咒罵倒對方。馬來西亞導演沈紹麒的作品「野獸」說出他對這世界上一切爛/鳥事的種種看法。

The first four films are documentaries, about activism to save the residents of the Lesheng Sanatorium from eviction; about the destruction of a ramshackle military village near Ximending in Taipei and the relocation of its occupants; about alcoholism; and about two taxi drivers in Wuhan, China in a swearing contest. Afterwards, Malaysian director Sim Seow Khee imagines the social consequences of all kinds of bad shit in his fiction, Metamorphosis.

The Corporation

企業人格診斷書

Jennifer Abbott / 2004 / US 美國 / 145 minutes/ En/Ch subtitles 英/中

150年前,企業還是相對不重要的機構,今日卻無所不在。就像教會、君主政體和共產黨主宰其他時代、其他地方,企業是今日的統治機構。本紀錄片檢視了現代企業的本質、演變、衝擊和可能未來。

本片是製片兼導演馬克.阿克巴(Mark Achbar),根據喬爾.巴肯(Joel Bakan)的「企業的性格與命運」(The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power)拍攝而成。企業最初只獲有狹隘的法律位階,是為公益而獲得政府特許的機構。美國憲法第14修正案賦予黑人平等權利,卻陰錯陽差地讓企業取得法 「人」身份。這接著引發一個新問題:企業是怎樣的人?

A documentary that traces the origins and the modern evolution of “the corporation”. The film begins with the bizarre beginnings of how a law designed to guarantee equal rights to former slaves, the 14th Amendment of the American Constitution, was co-opted to afford rights to corporations akin to that of individuals. The film takes the next step, asking the logical question that if corporations were bound by the same rules as individuals, shouldn’t they be scrutinized for behavior that is greed filled and psychopathic? More than anything, this film takes a cold hard look at how corporations have become a dominant economic and politic force, creating havoc and chaos to the environment and other benign forms of human society.
