偶发空缺

Barry维护穷人的权益：That's social engineering. That's... apartheid. Herding people into ghettos because they don't fit the aesthetic.There's a name for that, isn't there?Oh, you find language disgraceful but not this?the Parish Council's not here to make a quick buck for somebody who already has more than enough.We are the guardians of something unique.We are the custodians and the stewards of a shining principle.We do not turn our backs and look away from people in need.Our vote is in response to a simple question enshrined in law.Is the legacy still of benefit?Yes. It has never been so important. Never!When we vote, we must vote to protect it.It's that simple.其实开始我也觉得每个人都希望自己的小区干净整洁安全。老爷爷斥责穷人：They choose to stick needles in and rob decent folk.It's just take-take-take-take and people have got to be responsible for their own choices.医生反驳：And you're supposed t honour that work that's done on youby staying below a certain weight,but you don't, you eat and eat and eat,you're practically mainlining foie gras into your eyeballs.So all that medication has to be doubled,trebled,because you've made a lifestyle choice and it all costs,right down to that cream for that disgusting rashunder your belly, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds.Which means that you, Howard, are a bloody hypocrite!我们以前有时也会觉得那些screwups是自己没有自制力啊自甘堕落什么的（虽然自然/现代主义说这是生活环境使然，但还是会有怒其不争的感觉）但是医生却指明那些看似高尚成功的人也只是五十步笑百步。整天想着sex的少年说：I'm on a quest for authenticity.I'm casting off the yoke of...claustrophobic, middle-class, liberal principles.Colin, you are a crypto-Fascist control freak."My house. My roof. My rules."而父母却觉得： He wants to hurt us.连个房子都没有真的是让人无法硬气起来。伍尔夫论女权时就说，女性要得到平等就先要有自己的房子和经济上的独立。父母动不动就能说是我生你养你的，你没有钱你能怎么样，遇到争吵就觉得你怎么让我们操碎了心。

豆瓣7.2分，3175人评价——这个分数放在BBC剧集里算中规中矩，但考虑到原著作者是J·K·罗琳，多少有点不够看。说实话，看《偶发空缺》的过程并不愉快，甚至有点煎熬。导演强尼·坎贝尔拍得太温吞了，明明小说里那种刀刀见血的阶层撕裂感，到了剧里变成了一锅慢炖的汤，火候足但没爆点。巴里死后，几乎每个角色都在絮絮叨叨自己的小算盘，教堂里的葬礼戏、议会上的唇枪舌战，拍得细是真细，但俩小时过去你发现自己就记住了演员的褶子。观众反馈也一针见血：“节奏缓慢，相比原著少了一些尖锐感”。原著里罗琳可是毫不留情地解剖了小镇的伪善，穷人区的脏乱和瘾君子的绝望都写得赤裸裸，但剧版似乎为了追求“英伦质感”把这些棱角磨圆了。不过，你要是冲着演员阵容去，倒也不算亏。迈克尔·刚本演的老教区主席，那眼神里的狡黠和疲倦，一个人撑起了半场戏；基莉·霍斯把那个虚伪的中产主妇演得让人牙痒。罗琳的文本底子摆在那儿，即使导演处理得偏慢，人物群像依然是立体的——穷人区的母亲为了孩子低声下气求人，议员遗孀面对权力真空时的失落，这些细节都扎人。这剧就像一杯温度刚好的白开水 —— 解渴但没味道。适合喜欢慢节奏、爱看老戏骨飚戏的观众，但如果你是冲着罗琳的辛辣讽刺去的，建议直接看原著。至少书里你能自己控制翻页速度。
