The Diary: Tom Hiddleston

Before deciding to become an actor, I
read Classics at university and my favourite lyric poetic epic is still the
Odyssey. Homer’s eponymous hero – the guy we’re all rooting for – is a man of many wiles: a sailor, traveller, warrior, lover, and adventurer. But perhaps the
most important reason why Odysseus achieves the glory of eternal renown is
simply because, after 10 years in Troy, and a further 10 at sea, he makes it
back home. He returns to his family: to his wife Penelope, to his father
Laertes, and to his son Telemachus. His very status as a hero depends upon the
success of his return home.
I was thinking about Odysseus last
weekend at Los Angeles International airport. As Colin Firth accepted his
heroic, long-deserved best actor Oscar forThe King’s Speech – a familial odyssey for George VI of a slightly different kind – I was on
my way home. I caught the early part of the ceremony in the departure lounge,
and boarded my London-bound Virgin Atlantic flight just moments after Kirk Douglas had shown us what old-fashioned-movie-star charisma used to be. So I calculate
that at near enough the exact moment that Colin Firth’s feet left the ground
so, too, did mine (in a more obviously practical sense). I fell asleep during
take-off. I’m not sure Colin has landed yet.

第二篇是抖森在《卫报》上为妇联发表的文章，其中对美国超级英雄大片的内涵领悟得很深刻，难得这样文艺范的青年会如此钟情于那些脍炙人口的超级英雄，并且也极细腻地反映出了他对这些英雄独到的见解。是很值得细细感悟的一片文章。
Superheroes movies like Avengers Assemble should not be scorned
Earlier this year, beneath the wind-whippedtarpaulin of
a catering tent in Gloucester, I was working on a film with theactor Malcolm Sinclair. Over scrambled eggs at an ungodly hour, he told mesomething I had not previously known: when Christopher Reeve was young, barelyout of Juilliard, he was roundly mocked by his peers on Broadway for acceptingthe role of Superman. It was considered an ignoble thing for a classical actorto do.
I grew up watching Superman. As a child,when I first learned to dive into a swimming pool, I wasn't diving, I wasflying, like Superman. I used to dream of rescuing a girl I had a crush on (myLois Lane) from a playground bully (General Zod). Reeve, to my mind, was thefirst real superhero.
