7/23/2006 疯狂的疯狂的石头12/22/2005 Perhaps, Love《如果·爱》的编剧是没有什么新意的,但也可以说是大胆的。把一个毫无新意可言的故事情节搬出来是需要勇气的,而且在同一部片子中用现实与舞台交错的方法把这样一个甚为无聊的故事重复两次,更是需要勇气。不过,这种大胆的举措反而成为了影片最大的创意,真可谓物极必反的明证。
也许,金城武、周迅再加上歌神,这样的豪华组合已经给了观众赏脸的理由,所以剧情的地位不是那么重要了吧。
片子本身拍得是相当不错。气氛掌握的很好,不是明亮的,也不是压抑的;不是欢乐的,但也不是悲情的。没有《芝加哥》里那种令人晕眩的黑色元素,也不带《红磨坊》里那份无名的幽怨(我真的不喜欢Moulin Rouge的结局),《如果·爱》作为一部华语影片中难得一见的歌舞片,其音乐、摄影和表演水准都不在这两部外国大片之下。
张学友的歌技是意想之中的好,而金城武和周迅唱的也没有想象中的差。如果剥除了现实这条主线,而把影片完全拍成一部歌舞片的话,其实也可以看看了,说不定还会显得比现在的这部电影更完整,更震撼一些。来自高丽半岛的那位“天使”似乎是个华丽的龙套,虽然不得不承认他的中文唱得不错,但是还是免不了有种鸡肋之感。
贺岁档的影片,这部算是个不错的开头。找个机会再看一下《无极》,或者《千里走单骑》吧。
11/28/2005 War of the World真是一部吓人的电影。可能是因为最近电影看得少了,也可能是心情的关系,当我前天一个人看《世界大战》的时候,而且是在大白天阳光灿烂的情况下,居然看得我不寒而栗。算起来恐怖片和大场面的电影也看过不少了,但居然还是看得心惊肉跳的,看完以后心情一度不佳,一个下午也不知道干了什么。 这真是一部让人不愉快的电影。如果说以《下水道人鱼》为代表的电影让人看了不愉快的原因是其恶心和对人的忍受力的挑战的话,那么《世界大战》看了让人不舒服的原因,恐怕在于它能够引发你一连串的思索——至少引发了我的思考。 我的思索始于外星战机肆无忌惮地射杀人类的场景。看到一个个人被瞬间化为尘土,看到Tom Cruise回到房间后抖掉覆盖在他头发上的厚厚一层不知道是人的灰烬还是建筑物的废渣的粉尘状物体,到后来看到一片血海染红的残草赤土,我的心思早不在影片的情节上了。 我的问题是没有答案的,或者说,每次想到这些问题我就头痛,像是一个程序运行时超出了内存和CPU的能力,根本就无法继续思考下去了。而且我连描述这些问题的能力也没有。唯一能做的,是尽力摆脱这些让我头皮发麻的思绪,投入到影片本身的情节上去。 可怕,太可怕了。如果你和我一样会在看电影时胡思乱想,强烈不推荐这部电影。 10/11/2005 Desperate Housewives Season One 在Mary
Alice娓娓道来的叙述和前后呼应的评论中,终于看完了DH的第一季,虽然说有点out-of-date,但还是很庆幸没有错过这样一部好片。久违,这
种对着屏幕,心中被温馨所包围,被精彩的台词逗笑,被疑惑的剧情牵绊,这种真正让人absorbed的感觉。最俗气也是最贴切的评价,两个字——好看。我们的生活太需要勇气。我们需要勇气去面对困难与挫折,去体会人情冷暖,去接受或许是永久的别离。我相信每个人都有那么一刻,一小时,一天,甚至一年的时 间,会感到自己被绝望吞噬。但是大多数的人都最终撑过了最黑暗的时刻,使生活重新有了色彩,并继续不经意地等待下一次打击的到来。恰如Lynett面对一 堆孩子束手无策,恰如Susan猛然间发觉自己疯狂地离不开一个他无法相信的男人,恰如Bree在失去了所爱后爆发的那一声罕见的痛哭。Mary Alice在为每个绝望的主妇打气,同样我们观众也是。但我们更应该为自己的生活打气。虽然我们并不时刻欢迎着绝望的到来,但它是生命的常客,也是让幸福 显得如此重要和可贵的催化剂。一个最简单的道理,也是一个比Young一家到底发生了什么更难以解释的谜团。 已经是很完美的一个故事,一个不算happy ending但却很撩人的结局。尽管最后还留有悬念,但这一次,落下帷幕后我却并没有马上打开已经下载完成的第二季开篇。我并不急着知道那遗落下来的结 局,可能觉得没什么必要了吧。甚至,我开始怀疑第二季的精彩程度了——虽然要看了才知。就如前面所说,第一季到这里,已经是perfect。就像一杯又酸 又甜的果汁,啜上几口就已回味十足。至于剩下的虽然有喝完的必要,但能不能抵得上前面这几口带来的感动与快感,还得wait and see。 9/20/2005 Strategy Above the DepthAgain something about Meitantei Konan. The long waited 9th movie came
up with a dramatic speed this time. Thanks to Conans subtitle group, we
can see the understandable version of this movie almost immediately
after the release of its DVD in Japan. Finally I feel an impulsion of
writing something on it. The impulsion comes with, alas, a continual
worry that there is something that I dislike about the movie will
diminish my willingness to write. And I can see the negative feeling
getting stronger and stronger, awaiting my total loss of interest, as a
result, looming large enough to override any need of writing. It's lucky that such a tragedy is not happening at any rate. Yes, the movie is plain. Plain plot, plain dialogue, plain scenes, and plain music. I wonder how many people is hit by the idea of taking a snap while watching it, for at least I myself almost shut the player down if wasn't aware at the last minute that this is a movie I and millions of people waited for nearly a year. But... Does such a movie worth a year of anticipation? I don't know. Every Conan movie has its hidden major role besides Edogawa Konan or Kudou Shinichi. Hattori Heiji in M7, Kaitou Kiddo in M3 and M8, Mouri Ran in M1. In this one, it is Mouri Kogorou. Yes Mr Mouri finally behaves like a detective instead of a moron now. But I'm wondering why he can be so different from he used to be. Does it mean that he is always pretending to be an idiot before, or is he just fortunate enough to settle a Jiken at the spike of his Suiri ability? Besides this, there are still something suspicious. Our almighty Konan Kun is able to drive a yacht now. Again he learns how to do it from his papa during his stay at Hawaii. Cool, the Hawaii almighty training base teaches everything a detevtive(or a terrorist) needs to know: shooting, cars, planes, ships... It can't be wrong that Mr Kudou Yusaku is a Godfather-like character. And the miraculous rope. After watching M9 we witnessed the birth of world's most tenacious rope, whose parents are the Syounen Tanteritan. I just wonder where did they learn how to make such a rope with seashells, tough enough to bear the weight of a small but definitely not-a-feather child. By the way, many people begin to think Edogawa Konan as weightless after seeing the final touching scene. One more evidence: Detective Mouri always lifts him up just like lifting up a paper. I'm not criticizing the movie. I just want to say that after almost 10 years of production, Conan movie should not be a laughter though this one tends to be like that. Reluctant or not, M9 is poor, with just a liitle bit exellence saving it from being worse than M8, the definitely worst one. Taking that into consideration, I am slighly satisfied, since at least the making team has realized the fact that advanced technology and splendid scenes do not necessarily make their movies better, if no effort on the plot itself is made. Finally, I'm writing an ending for this entry. A plain, or boring comment on a plain movie. It's too good that I didn't write it in Chinese, which will make the whole piece more plain and less readable, though it can't be more like that now. lol |
