两部定于2026年上映的电影《The Drama》和《The Invite》正在重新诠释好莱坞的经典类型。[1]这两部作品将20世纪30-40年代"再婚喜剧"的核心框架——濒临离婚的情侣最终重归于好——转化为带有心理学维度的现代作品。[1]美国哲学家Stanley Cavell在1981年创造了"再婚喜剧"这一术语，用来描述这类关于情侣"重新走到一起"的故事。[1]该类型的黄金时代见证了Katherine Hepburn与Cary Grant、Claudette Colbert与Clark Gable等组合的精彩合作，经典作品包括1938年的《Bringing up Baby》和1940年的《The Philadelphia Story》。[1]
与其前辈不同的是，这两部新作融入了当代的心理治疗话语，这在原型作品中完全不存在。[1]《The Drama》由Kristoffer Borgli执导，由Zendaya饰演Emma，Robert Pattinson饰演Charlie。[1]Olivia Wilde执导的《The Invite》阵容包括Olivia Wilde饰演的Angela、Seth Rogen饰演的Joe、Penélope Cruz饰演的Pina和Edward Norton饰演的Hawk。心理治疗师Esther Perel担任了这部电影的关键顾问。[1]这种对治疗话语的引入反映了当代文化对心理学和自我启示的深切执迷，使这些重新诠释的作品成为了原始类型的"黑暗演变"。[1]
Two upcoming films are reimagining the classic "remarriage comedy" genre that flourished in Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940s, but with a distinctly modern and darker sensibility.[1] "The Drama," featuring Emma (Zendaya) and Charlie (Robert Pattinson) as its central couple, and "The Invite," with Angela (Olivia Wilde), Joe (Seth Rogen), Pina (Penélope Cruz), and Hawk (Edward Norton), both draw from a tradition defined by American philosopher Stanley Cavell in 1981 as stories in which couples facing the threat of divorce ultimately reconcile and "get back together."[1]
The original golden age of remarriage comedies produced iconic pairings and beloved films, with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant, as well as Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable, becoming synonymous with the genre.[1] Classics such as "Bringing up Baby" (1938) and "The Philadelphia Story" (1940) exemplified the form's wit and romantic resolution.[1] However, the contemporary adaptations depart significantly from their predecessors by incorporating psychological analysis and therapeutic language entirely absent from the prototype works.[1] For "The Invite," psychotherapist Esther Perel served as a key advisor, infusing the film with what amounts to "therapy speak"—a vernacular centered on self-discovery and emotional processing that reflects contemporary culture's preoccupation with psychology and personal revelation.[1]
