舌头不打结 (1989)

　　Marlon Riggs' essay film TONGUES UNTIED gives voice to communities of black gay men, presenting their cultures and perspectives on the world as they confront racism, homophobia and marginalization. It broke new artistic ground by mixing poetry (by Essex Hemphill and other artists), music, performance and Riggs' autobiographical revelations. The film was embraced by black gay audiences for its authentic representation of style, and culture, as well its fierce response to oppression. It opened up opportunities for dialogue among and across communities. TONGUES UNTIED has been lauded by critics for its vision and its bold aesthetic advances, and vilified by anti-gay forces who used it to condemn government funding of the arts. It was even denounced from the floor of Congress. "Black men loving Black men is the revolutionary act" is the rallying cry at the film's end and after more than twenty years, TONGUES UNTIED remains a celebrated vehicle for eloquent self-expression and liberation. 　　译文(2): 马龙 · 里格斯(Marlon Riggs)的散文电影《舌头解绑》(TONGUES UNTIED)为黑人男同性恋群体提供了发声机会，在他们面对种族主义、恐同症和边缘化时，展示了他们的文化和对世界的看法。它通过混合诗歌(由埃塞克斯 · 亨普希尔和其他艺术家创作)、音乐、表演和里格斯的自传式启示，开辟了新的艺术领域。这部电影受到黑人同性恋观众的欢迎，因为它真实地再现了风格和文化，以及它对压迫的激烈反应。它为社区之间和社区之间的对话开辟了机会。舌头解放组织因其远见卓识和大胆的美学进步而受到评论家的称赞，并被反同性恋势力用来谴责政府对艺术的资助而中伤。甚至遭到了国会的谴责。“黑人爱黑人是革命行为”是影片结尾的战斗口号，二十多年过去了，《舌联》仍然是雄辩的自我表达和解放的著名载体。
