——本文為地球圖輯隊 X 臉譜出版合作——你知道北韓也拍過怪獸電影嗎?1985年怪獸電影《平壤怪獸》(불가사리)幕後推手,正是北韓領導人金正日。這位獨裁者其實是007電影迷,個人收藏超過兩萬部電影,從每屆奧斯卡最佳影片到《哥吉拉》系列都有。他不只愛看電影,更有個拍電影夢——為了拍出好作品,他甚至綁架了南韓知名導演申相玉和女演員崔銀姬,強迫他們為北韓拍片。《平壤怪獸》表面上是政治宣傳片,講述一隻食鐵怪獸幫助農民推翻暴政的故事。但導演申相玉在片中藏了隱喻:這隻最初拯救人民、最後卻成為威脅的「一星」怪獸,很容易讓人聯想到「一星」金日成。當申相玉逃往國外後,金正日才驚覺不對勁,隨即將這部電影列為禁片。這個荒誕卻真實的故事,正是《朝鮮神話:神祇鬼怪、金氏家族、韓流奇蹟……兩韓民俗神話到全球流行文化的前世今生》(The Korean Myths: A Guide to the Gods, Heroes and Legends)書中的精彩篇章。在作者海因茲.仁水.芬克爾(Heinz Insu Fenkl)與貝拉.明月.道頓-芬克爾(Bella Myŏng-Wŏl Dalton-Fenkl)眼中,朝鮮半島的神話從未消失,只是以不同形式存在:在北韓,它成為金氏家族鞏固政權的工具——金日成能將松果變成手榴彈、金正日發明了漢堡;在南韓,它則化為風靡全球的文化能量——從《魷魚遊戲》到韓江獲得諾貝爾文學獎,韓流背後正是這片土地千年來的文化底蘊。從創世神話《天地王本解》、民間傳說中的九尾狐與鬼怪,到當代流行文化中的《全知讀者視角》、《Kpop獵魔女團》……《朝鮮神話》完整呈現朝鮮神話如何在南北兩端各自演變,又如何持續影響著今日的全球發展。本文摘自《朝鮮神話:神祇鬼怪、金氏家族、韓流奇蹟……兩韓民俗神話到全球流行文化的前世今生》,以下為本書摘要。
