【新唐人2012年12月17日讯】最近，大陆《央视》电影频道，播出了一部好莱坞影片《V字别动队》。而此前，这部影片因宣扬反抗专制独裁政府，曾一度被大陆当局禁止放映。这次《央视》出乎意外的播出未经删减的影片，立即引起轰动，也引来各界对中共十八大后，是否“有意放松审查、营造新政表象”的猜测。
14号晚间，大陆《央视》电影频道播出了一部政治隐喻性极强的好莱坞电影。这部电影此前在大陆一直被直译为《V字仇杀队》，由导演《黑客帝国》的沃卓斯基兄弟编剧，2006年公映。
影片讲述的是一个寓言故事。描述：极权统治下的英国，一个叫做V的面具怪人摧毁了伦敦的两个标志性建筑，并潜入官方电视台插播真相。民众逐渐觉醒，最后引发一场反对极权暴政的全民革命。
因为影片很容易让人与中国的现实联想，因此中共当局一直对这部影片进行封杀，不许公映、也不许在网上传播。而《央视》这次播出的《V字别动队》与原版基本一样，一些敏感台辞，如“人民不应该害怕政府，政府应该害怕人民。”“这个国家不仅需要大楼，更需要希望。”“思想是不怕子弹的”等，都没有被删除。这在大陆传媒和民众间引起轰动，很多人大感意外，纷纷猜测中共十八大后是否开始对政治影片解禁。
原《河北人民广播电台》编辑朱欣欣：“它（中共）觉得不是直接对它的权力构成威胁和质疑的话，一些文化的东西，它会开放一些。以显示它的所谓‘新政、开明’。”
原《河北人民广播电台》编辑朱欣欣还分析，当今世界，中共迫于压力，不得不放松对某些非重点领域的控制。中共也在确保不会对它的统治构成大威胁的情况下，对外显示所谓的“开明”和“自信”。
朱欣欣：“就像我们经常说的，在媒体上报导一些反腐败呀、抓贪官呀，让你感觉到政府也在做这个工作，你不要着急。给人带来一种虚幻的希望，这叫‘小骂大帮忙’。”
影片中，名为“北方之火”的政党，通过人为的制造恐怖瘟疫，欺骗民众篡取了权力，实现对社会的残酷统治。但当真相被揭开后，依靠暴力与谎言维系的政权开始崩溃。虽然当局竭力阻止党员退党，秘密监听所有官员，但觉醒的民众对真相与正义的追求，最终带来新的希望。
对于这部电影的内涵，大陆诗人和文化评论家叶匡政认为，它和国产影片《让子弹飞》很类似，就是采取寓言式的故事，比较容易通过审查。不过，叶匡政指出，影片的播出并不能说明审查机制在放松。
大陆诗人和文化评论家叶匡政：“但是目前为止还没有看到一个明确的指令，表明这种审查机制会变得更加开放。因为《让子弹飞》诞生的那个年代，其实也是审查机制最为严酷的年代。在那一年，审查机制在别的领域都是非常严的。”
叶匡政还强调，这种审查机制属于人治，没有法律规范。因此，除了外交、宗教等重点领域之外，审查官对尺度把握的不同，就造成“时紧时松”的现象。
叶匡政：“它有可能某一时间很松，这些都不能表明中国（中共）放开了审查制度。只能表明，某一地方的官员或者某一个出版社的官员比较开放，都不能跟中国的审查制度连在一块说。”
大陆导演陆川也指责当局的审查尺度“没人摸得清楚”。陆川呼吁，按国际惯例对电影分级，并且给大陆导演“松绑”。
香港《明报》报导，陆川作品《王的盛宴》因涉及权力斗争，官方担心作品影射现实，而被推迟上映4个多月。但内容类似的港产影片《寒战》，却在十八大开幕当天如期上映。

A Previously Forbidden Movie Broadcast in China
Recently, a Hollywood movie “V for Vendetta” was broadcast
on CCTV, mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party(CCP).
The film has previously been released in China to
advocate resistance towards a dictatorial regime.
Unexpectedly, CCTV broadcast it without any editing,
which has caused an immediate sensation in China.
The public wonder whether the CCP intentionally creates
a disguise of lifting the censorship ban by setting up an image of “new governance”.
On Dec. 14th CCTV broadcast a Hollywood movie
with strong political metaphors.
The movie “V for Vendetta” was first released to the public
in 2006, produced by Wachowskis, director of “The Matrix”.
The film tells a story set in the U.K. under totalitarian rule.
A man in a mask known as “V" destroys London’s two
landmark buildings.
“V" takes over the state television broadcast and
exposes the lie.
The public’s awakening finally evolves into a nationwide
revolution against the tyranny.
The movie is very easily associated with the reality in China.
It was previously banned from being released and was
spread on the internet.
The version broadcast on CCTV contained some
sensitive lines.
Such as “People should not be afraid of their governments.
Governments should be afraid of their people.”
and “Ideas are bulletproof.”
The broadcasting has aroused reaction in China’s media
and the general public.
Lots of people felt surprised and wondered if this means
the regime will lift the ban on political film censorship.
Zhu Xinxin (Former editor, Hebei state radio):"The ban on
cultural things may be lifted, if not a direct threat to the CCP.
This can help show “new governance, and open-mindedness.”
Zhu Xinxin interprets that under current global pressure, the
CCP regime has to relax control on some non-priority areas.
Yet, it is based on a premise that it will not greatly endanger
the CCP’s ruling power.
If so, the regime would display an “open-minded" and
“self-confident" image to the world.
Zhu Xinxin: “Just like the media reports on anti-corruption,
on arrest of corrupt officials, and so on.
It seems that the government is working hard,
and the public don’t have to worry about it.
That’s actually forming an illusion for the public to
keep hope on the regime."
In the film, a political party Norsefire creates a terror plague.
By deceiving the people, it usurped the ruling power and
put the country under its cruel reign.
When the truth is revealed, the regime, relying on violence
and lies, begins collapsing.
The authorities make it hard for members of
party Norsefire to quit the party.
All the party members are subjected to its secret wiretap.
However, the awakening finally brings new hope to the
public who are pursuing truth and justice.
Ye Kuangzheng, poet & cultural critic in China, says that
it is similar to a Chinese film, “Let the Bullets Fly".
Such films, expressed in the form of fable, are generally
given a green light go ahead in the censorship process.
However, the film’s broadcasting is not equal to lifting the
censorship ban, he comments.
Ye Kuangzheng: “So far, there hasn’t any official instruction
issued on relaxation of censorship.
It was the most severe period of time on censorship when
the film “Let the Bullets Fly" was released in China.
That year, the official censorship on other areas were all
very strict."
Ye Kuangzheng indicates the CCP’s censorship system
is not controlled by law.
Censors in areas other than key ones such as diplomacy and
religion, may have different criterion.
Thus, it caused an “irregularly tight or loose” grip of censorship.
Ye Kuangzheng: “It may relax control for a while,
but it isn’t equal to a ban lifting on censorship.
It only shows that a specific official may be more open-minded,
but not China’s censorship system.”
Lu Chuan, renowned film director in China, openly accused
the CCP censorship of being incomprehensible.
Lu Chuan called for an application of movie class system
according to international practice.
Hong Kong’s Ming Pao newspaper revealed that Lu Chuan’s
movie “King’s feast" involves a power struggle.
The CCP regime feared it insinuated the reality in China,
and postponed the release for over four months.
By contrast, a similar Hong Kong film “Cold War", was released
as scheduled on the first day of the 18th Party Congress.
