Abstract
This essay offers a preliminary study of the cultural translation practices by young Tibetan exilic filmmakers in India, whose films, rather than rejecting the masala formula offered by Bollywood, have tentatively adapted it to the expectations of a Tibetan diasporic audience looking for a cinema capable of attending to the escapist needs of their minds while simultaneously catering to the intimate dreams of their hearts. I contend that Tashi Wangchuk and Tsultrim Dorjee’s first long feature Phun Anu Thanu (Two Exiled Brothers, 2006) is as an original film that presents a new offer on the menu of Tibetan diasporic films, a kind of spicy curry that has been advocated as a timely necessity and a yet-to-be-fulfilled desire.
本文对流亡印度的年轻西藏电影人的文化翻译实践进行了初步研究，他们的电影并没有拒绝宝莱坞提供的马萨拉模式，而是试探性地适应了流亡藏人观众的期望，他们寻找的电影既能满足他们逃避现实的需要，又能满足他们内心的亲密梦想。我认为扎西旺秀和措里姆多吉的第一部长篇电影《两个流亡兄弟》(Phun Anu Thanu, 2006)是一部原创电影，为流亡藏人电影的菜单上提供了一种新的选择，一种辛辣的咖喱，一直被提倡为一种及时的必需品和一种尚未实现的愿望。
