僕が小学校で鑑賞した映画と言えば、昔話のアニメや交通安全の映画くらいしか記憶にない。しかし、80年代に小学校に通った多くの人々は、この『砂漠の冒険』という映画を見せられたらしい。早回しで確認してみたが、少年が載った飛行機が墜落し、一人砂漠を彷徨うというサバイバル映画としてはかなり過酷な内容だった。ダチョウの卵を焼いて食べ、ブッシュマンに石を投げられながらも生き抜く主人公がタフすぎる…。文部省もどえらい映画を選んだものだ。

NPR(公共放送)系のラジオ局では、ブラジルや日本などアメリカ以外のアーティストの曲も選曲されることがある。先日、故Orlandivoの『Onde Anda O Meu Amor』を、数十年ぶりに聴いた。学生の頃よく聴いていたこのCDアルバム、音源にレコード針の音が入っていて、海賊版っぽかったのを覚えている。彼は60年代初期に『日本のサンバ』という可愛らしい曲を発表しているが、和風を目指しながらもフレーズがモロに中国風だった点はご愛嬌。

古代中国思想の影響が強い日本では「性善説」「性悪説」という表現が浸透しているが、西欧ではこの二つを区別・対比して論じる習慣はない。キリスト教における「原罪」の概念に代表されるように、そもそも「人間は本質的に利己的で、ろくでもない存在」と考える傾向が強く、実際、性善説を信じて生活していたら身が持たない。AIに「性悪説に基づいているけど、力強く生きる勇気を与えてくれる映画は?」と尋ねたら、『ウォーキング・デッド』と返ってきた。
