| 摘要 | This article examines the film adaptation of the novel, Audrey Rose, written by Frank De Felitta, which was directed by Robert Wise for film. An interest in Eastern religion and spiritual practice has been a feature of Western culture since the 1890s. However, from the late 1960s throughput the 1970s, the exposure of Eastern influences allegedly became almost overwhelming. Spokespersons and religious bodies such as the Divine Light Mission, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and Osh International were making themselves visible across U.S. cities and campuses, finding a receptive audience among a large section of young U.S. citizens disenchanted with the established Judeo-Christian traditions. For them, the manifold forms of Eastern spirituality such as Buddhism and Hinduism seemed increasingly pure than U.S. religious institutions that were perceived as hopelessly intertwined with a decadent, unjust culture and political order. These Western truth seekers were drawn first and foremost to the otherness of Eastern religion, which offered mainstream U.S. citizens an avenue of transcendence and a sense of liberation that traditional Western forms of religion had not provided for them. |
