Brian Kinney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Kinney is a fictional character from the American/Canadian Showtime television series Queer As Folk, a drama about the lives of a group of gay men and women living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[1] The character was portrayed by American actor Gale Harold during the show's five year run. Brian is based on the character Stuart Alan Jones of Russell T Davies' original British series of the same name.[2]

Handsome and masculine, Brian is a successful advertising executive who owns a lavish Pittsburgh loft and leads a glamorous and self-indulgent lifestyle. He is portrayed as extremely sexually promiscuous[3] and narcissistic,[4] taking pride in his looks and his status as the most desirable man on Pittsburgh's Liberty Avenue.[4] Brian completely rejects heteronormativity, in which he includes gay marriage, relationships and love.[5] His storylines on the show revolve around his refusal to adhere to these ideals, often putting him at odds with his gay friends who yearn to get married and start families of their own. Despite his feelings, Brian does father a child via artificial insemination with his close friend Lindsay, a lesbian, and ultimately develops a romantic and sexual relationship with young artist Justin Taylor which is central throughout the series.

Brian has been the subject of controversy among LGBT critics of the show. He has been described as "the ultimate gay hero" for his liberationist philosophy,[6] but has also been criticized for his representation of what many gay viewers believe are "negative stereotypes about gay men."[7] In November 2007, Brian was voted the most popular gay television character of all time by AfterEllen's sister site, AfterElton.[7][8]

Background and personality

Brian Kinney was born to Jack and Joan Kinney in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His family was Irish-Catholic, with his mother in particular being extremely devout and homophobic. Brian had an unstable childhood due to his father being an abusive alcoholic. Brian was physically abused by his father throughout his childhood and teenage years; it is unclear whether Jack was also abusive to Brian's older sister, Claire. During his high school years, Brian would escape the abuse in his home by staying with his best friend, Michael Novotny, whose mother, Debbie Novotny, ultimately began treating Brian like another son. After high school, Brian received a full scholarship to Penn State, where he studied advertising. It is there that he meets another close friend, Lindsay Peterson, who shares an art history class with him.

Though Brian is open about his sexuality to Michael and Debbie and is highly sexually active during his teenage years, Brian only comes out to his parents when he is well into adulthood. Brian feels he does not owe anything to his parents and chose not to disclose his sexuality to them for so long because he has little to no relationship with them. However, he ultimately tells his father on his death bed, and his mother accidentally finds out after seeing Justin Taylor in Brian's bedroom during a visit to his loft. Both of their responses are overwhelmingly negative.

Brian's biggest fear is to lose his youth and beauty. His best friend, Michael, often reassures him that he will "always be young, and always be beautiful." Lindsay, a sister-like figure to Brian, sometimes fondly calls him 'Peter', in reference to Peter Pan, the boy who never grows old; he calls her 'Wendy' in return. In one episode, Emmett Honeycutt's elderly boyfriend George Shickle describes Brian as "the love child of James Dean and Ayn Rand."

Despite Brian's seemingly （这些highlighted words很重要啊，就是说B叔好别扭啦，表里不一，明明爱得那么深，嘴里却永远不承认><）uncaring and amoral nature, he is shown as loving his friends and will often make great sacrifices for them, even though he won't admit it. He plans a wedding for Lindsay and Melanie after theirs falls apart, and gives up his parental rights to his young son Gus, so that Melanie and Lindsay will reunite in the first season. He pushes Michael away, so that he will go back to his boyfriend. He helps his young lover Justin recover after a bashing at his senior prom, which Brian attended to please Justin. He gives up his job and money to beat the anti-gay, candidate for mayor, Jim Stockwell, and is willing to give up his loft and nightclub to be with Justin in the final episodes.（B叔，you are my hero!）

Overview

In the pilot, Brian Kinney takes 17-year-old Justin Taylor home after spotting him on a street corner outside of the gay nightclub Babylon. He proceeds to take Justin home and take his virginity. In the same episode, his son, Gus, is born to a lesbian couple - Lindsey and Melanie. Because of the simultaneousness of these two pivotal events, Brian often associates Gus with Justin, referring to both as "sonny boy."（看看B对J这股宠溺劲儿❤） During the first season, his relationship with Justin is unclear. Brian hates the idea of couples but breaks his own rules for Justin, unable to resist the pull he feels towards him. He takes care of him in different ways: letting him move into his loft after Justin's kicked out of his parents' home, going after him to NYC after he runs away, advising him on school situations—thus over and over, disproving his own verbal declarations of not wanting him around through his actions.

After witnessing Justin's prom bashing, Brian is traumatized. No one - except Jennifer Taylor - knows that Brian stands secret vigil outside Justin's hospital room every night for weeks. Upon Justin's release from the hospital, Jennifer Taylor bars Brian from seeing Justin but later asks him to 'take' her son, because Brian is the only one he trusts. During the second season, Brian helps Justin recover, both physically and emotionally. Justin confronts Brian by asking if the reason he is still living with Brian is because he feels guilty. Brian says that guilt was the reason he took Justin in, but it's not the reason he wants him to stay. To restrict Brian's promiscuity and protect himself, Justin sets some rules. Justin later breaks the rules with the more romantic Ethan, and Brian tells Justin to decide who he wants to be with. Brian is hurt when Justin leaves him to be with Ethan, but will not admit it. Despite his outwardly-detached nature, Brian's loneliness is evident in the beginning of the third season.（B叔啊，知道大家都心疼你不？）

During the third season, Brian's success as an advertising executive comes into opposition with his beliefs when he is asked to head up a conservative, anti-gay mayoral candidate's campaign. Though he is initially instrumental in the candidate's rise, he eventually, with Justin, destabilizes the campaign, using his own money to pay for ads. Because of this, Brian loses his job. However, in the fourth season, he founds his own company, Kinnetik. He battles testicular cancer, especially tough because of his narcissism. After beating cancer and completing a bike ride from Toronto to Pittsburgh, Brian reevaluates his life, deciding to take a more active role in his son's life and asking Justin to move back in.

In the fifth season, Justin moves out, frustrated at Brian's inability to form a committed relationship. After a bomb goes off at Babylon, which Brian owns by this season, Brian admits his love for Justin and mends his relationship with his best friend, Michael. Brian proposes to Justin but later tells Justin that he should go to New York to pursue a promising art career. They spend one last night, Justin reassures Brian that they will see each other frequently, Brian disagrees. Brian is last seen at Babylon dancing alone.（我内牛了:s09）

附上我的翻译给大家参考参考：
                                    布莱恩·金尼
                                          资料来自自由百科全书“维基百科”（国内的百度百科跟它差不多性质）

布莱恩·金尼是美国美国Showtime有线收费电视网拍摄的一部电视连续剧（同时
也是加拿大地区也有很大影响）《同志亦凡人》（原名"Queer As Folk"）中的男主角
的名字（由演员葛尔·哈罗德扮演），该片是在加拿大拍摄的。主要叙述了一群住在
匹兹堡的同性恋男男女女的爱情与生活。2000年年底美国有线电视台SHOWTIME推出了
改编自同名英国电视剧的剧集《同志亦凡人》，葛尔·哈罗德在片中出演的中心人物
布莱恩·金尼可以说是美国电视史上第一位正面描写的男同性恋角色，可想而知也引
起了巨大的争议。《同志亦凡人》到2005年共播出了五季，让葛尔·哈罗德几乎在所
有的经典同性恋角色排行榜上稳坐头名。

   阳光帅气是对他最好的形容，片中的布莱恩·金尼是匹兹堡最出色的广告设计师
，有着一栋豪华公寓的顶层（也就是阁楼）和可观的收入，生活作风极其糜烂奢华的
他只相信性不相信爱情。他被描绘成一个生活在匹兹堡自由大道上的极度自恋的、喜
欢疯狂滥交的人。布莱恩完全抵制“异性恋规范”（即heteronormativity，这个单词
不大好翻译和理解，可以理解为一种文化偏见，类似种族主义、性别歧视等。被指社
会上大多事情多偏向异性恋，例如在广告和媒体上大都显示的是异性恋夫妇，很少涉
及同性恋夫夫。再例如法律上对同性关系的歧视，包括禁止同性婚姻的法律。再例如
宗教方面对同性夫夫的偏见等等），这种抵制甚至包括同性婚姻、交往和爱情（就等
于说是不论同性或异性的婚姻、爱情他都不相信）。他在剧中的故事情节主要就是围
绕他抵制“异性恋规范”而来，与此同时又有与他意见相左的同志朋友逐渐的开始结
婚、开始组建家庭的情节（一个一直独身，另一个幸福的结婚并组建家庭，形成了鲜
明的对比）。尽管如此（尽管他长时间单身，长时间抵制“异性恋规范”），他还是
通过人工授精的方式成为一个孩子的父亲，受孕的母亲是他最好的女同志（也就是“
蕾丝边”）朋友林赛。并最终发展出他和年轻艺术家贾斯汀·泰勒之间的浪漫恋情
，这段恋情也成为该片故事主线之一而贯穿其中。

   布莱恩这个角色的表现一直是LGBT（LGBT，或GLBT，是用来指称女同性恋者
(Lesbians)、男同性恋者(Gays)、双性恋者(Bisexuals)与跨性别者(Transgender)
的一个集合用语）评论家争论的主题。他的那种解放论哲学思想使他被描述成一个
“终极同志英雄”的形象。与此同时他又被批评他塑造的是一种“消极刻板的男同志”形象
（2007年11月，布莱恩在AfterEllen的姊妹网站中被评选为AfterElton有史以来
最流行的同性恋电视角色）。

                                       剧情背景和人物性格
   剧中的布莱恩·金尼出生于宾夕法尼亚州的匹兹堡的J&J家族（不知道把Jack and
Joan Kinney翻译成J&J家族是否正确是否合适，有问题大家可以指出）。他们家是信
奉爱尔兰天主教的，他的母亲是个极度虔诚的教徒（是那种对同性恋极度憎恶或是恐
惧的人）。布莱恩有个不太好的童年，源于他父亲是个酒鬼，在他童年和少年时期（
包括高中时期）经常虐待他，目前还不清楚是否有虐待他的姐姐克莱尔。在他上高中
时期，布莱恩逃到他最好的朋友迈克尔·诺沃提尼（Michael Novotny）家里，迈克尔
的母亲黛比·诺沃提尼对他很好，如自己的另一个亲生儿子般（碰到这么一位好母亲
也是不幸中的大幸了）。高中毕业后，布莱恩考上了宾夕法尼亚州立大学，在那里学
习时并获得广告全额奖学金。正是在那里他遇到了另一个密友林赛·彼得森，与她一
起上艺术史类课程。

   虽然布莱恩很早就向他的死党迈克尔和黛比（迈克尔的母亲）公开了自己的性取
向，也就是在他十几岁青春期时。布莱恩直到成年时才向自己的父母出柜。他觉得并
不缺欠父母什么。他之所以长时间不向父母出柜就是因为他并不愿意与自己父母有太
多关联，但他最终还是在他父亲临终时告诉了他父亲。他母亲则是在撞到他和贾斯汀
·泰勒一起生活在他的阁楼别墅里才知道。他的父母都不支持他。

   布莱恩最怕失去青春和美丽，他的死党迈克尔经经常安慰他说“你会永远保持年
轻的”。另一好友林赛，如同他的妹妹一般，有时深情的称呼他“彼得”（彼得·潘
是《小飞侠》中的角色，永远是个长不大的小男孩）。在剧中另一个情节里，Emmett
Honeycutt的年长他的男友George Shickle形容布莱恩是“詹姆斯·迪恩和艾茵·兰德
的爱子”。（James Dean是美国50年代的超级巨星，同时也是颇具争议的双性恋者。
他热爱跑车活动，1955年9月30日，在加利福尼亚Cholame市附近不幸发生车祸，他被
卡在另外一部车内死亡。他的英年早逝，正如玛丽莲·梦露和李小龙等明星一样，为
后世留下传奇的地位。关于詹姆斯·迪恩的神秘巧合：詹姆斯·迪恩1955年驾驶自己
的名牌跑车兜风时死于车祸。他那辆被撞毁的跑车后来被拖到了一个修理厂里，在拆
卸过程中，用千斤顶支撑的车突然坠地，砸断了一名修理工的腿。该车发动机后来被
卖给了一名医生，他将发动机安装在了自己的赛车上，这名医生后来开着赛车比赛时
死于车祸，另一名购买了迪恩报废汽车方向轴的赛车手，也死于车祸。迪恩汽车的外
壳被人用来展览，然而展厅却突发火灾。还有一次，它从展台上跌落，砸碎了一游客
的臀骨。这件事也有应用在美剧《邪恶力量》中的某集的剧情中。Ayn Rand是俄裔美
国哲学家、小说家，她小说中客观主义的完美英雄都难以置信地富裕、聪明、俊美、
并且免于遭受质疑，而他们的对手则是虚弱的、可怜的、不稳定的、并缺乏想象力和
天资。）

   尽管布莱恩貌似自私、漠不关心、不道德，但其实他经常为朋友做出巨大牺牲，尽管他并不承认这点。他在林赛和梅拉尼分手后还计划为她们筹办婚礼，并为了自己的儿子格斯交出了他做为父母监护人的权利（就是为了让林赛和她女友能够和好并能安心养育格斯）。他在迈克尔最失意时没有乘机和他发生关系，而是推开迈克尔让他回到男友身边。当他的恋人贾斯汀在学校毕业舞会受到打击时安慰他、帮助他走出困境。他放弃自己的工作和金钱只为了击败反对同性恋的市长候选者Jim Stockwell，还有在剧情最后他为了与贾斯汀一起宁愿放弃他的阁楼别墅和夜总会。
……
……
再之后是《同志亦凡人》剧集的剧情概述，我就没必要翻译了，大家百度一下或就在本论坛相关专区就能了解到具体的剧情。
