📖

在金·维多（King Vidor）1928年执导的电影《群众》（"The crowd"）里，一个名叫约翰·西姆斯（John Sims）的人相信他的人生注定要做件大事。

来到纽约后，他意识到自己只是充斥在这座城市中数百万个追梦者之一，最终被现实的残酷与悲凉所淹没。

“可怜的傻瓜！我敢打赌他的父亲还幻想着他能当上美国总统！”玛丽指着一个被迫取悦路人的可怜小丑说道。

最终，约翰放弃了他的个体性，把自己献给了群众，就仿佛群众是一种更高级的实体，被描述为：“一个无尽地沿路向前展开的，从不能回溯的队列”。

In a 1928 film by King Vidor, "The crowd", a man named John Sims believes to be destined to do great things.

Once in New York, he realizes to be just one of the millions of dreamers who crowd the city, and he's overwhelmed by a sense of loss.

"Poor fool! I bet his father thought he would become the President of the United States! " Mary says, pointing to a poor clown forced to entertain passersby.

At the end, John renounces his individuality to sacrifice himself to the crowd as if it were a superior entity, described as "An endless column surging forward over roads that were never retraced".

本章节展现的影像作品由艺术家马塞洛·莫斯卡（Marcello Mosca）创作，作品交替展示了高雅与通俗文化图像，从博斯（Hieronymus Bosch）、老彼得·勃鲁盖尔（Pieter Bruegel）、阿尔弗雷德·库宾（Alfred Kubin）以及詹姆士·恩索尔（James Ensor）的绘画到雅各维蒂（Jacovitti）、《马格努斯》（Magnus）、巴兹尔·沃尔韦顿（Basil Wolvertone）和马丁·汉福德（Martin Handford）的漫画，从主创电影到经典迪斯尼卡通。

The video works shown in this chapter are created by artist Marcello Mosca. The video alternates images of high and popular culture, from the paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Alfred Kubin and James Ensor to the comics of Jacovitti, Magnus, Basil Wolvertone and Martin Handford, from auteur cinema to old Disney cartoons.
