Neighborhood issues discussed upon Paul Auster’s movie Smoke

Abstract This article discusses the movie Smoke (1995), by Paul Auster and Wayne Wang. Despite being a work of fiction, it was possible to extract elements to analyze urban dynamics and social relations established around a store in Brooklyn. The arguments used to discuss Smoke were found in the literature, other books from Auster, and also in interviews given by the author, in which he provides three arguments that were used for the development of this text. The listed subjects are: the city of New York, to be presented along with the research on its morphology; the importance of neighborhood relationships established around the dealer, and the relationship between user and place; and finally, the construction of the screenplay, subject of huge importance considering the author scale, discussed from the interweaving of the stories, the relationship between author and character, and the relationship with the original story, Auggie Wren´s Christmas story, published in The New York Times.摘要 本文探讨了保罗·奥斯特（Paul Auster）与韦恩·王（Wayne Wang）执导的1995年电影《烟》（Smoke）。尽管该片属于虚构作品，但仍可从中提取元素，用以分析布鲁克林一家店铺周边的城市动态与社会关系。本文讨论《烟》时所依托的论据，源自相关文献、奥斯特的其他著作，以及作者本人的访谈——访谈中作者提出了三项用于支撑本文论述的核心论点。本次研究涵盖的主题包括：其一，纽约市及其城市形态学研究；其二，围绕烟店经营者建立的邻里关系的重要性，以及使用者与场所之间的关联；其三，剧本创作，该主题极具重要性，本文将从故事的交织叙事、作者与角色的关系，以及与原作故事——刊登于《纽约时报》（The New York Times）的奥吉·雷恩的圣诞故事——的关联展开探讨。
