【TNABO】诺兰的两个半小时离丘赫莱依的一分钟,还差着大半辈子 【轻微剧透】 《信条》在诺兰导演的作品里可以排进倒数前三。剪辑完全服务于推剧情,所有台词都是说明书化的,所有人物都是服务于剧情的工具人。而只要明白诺兰在本片中的摄影剪辑是完全服务于剧情、完全功能化这一事实,就会发现剧情也没多烧脑。观众完全没必要怕自己看不懂,整个第二幕的情节基本就是在解释他的时间设定。如果全神贯注看剪辑和镜头提供的信息,其实在第一幕末两主角第一次进挪威机场保险库那段打斗戏就能基本把他的时间设定猜出个大概了。 全片开场的对话戏,几乎每一句台词都要切角色的反应镜头,而在第一幕末的保险库打斗戏里有一段戏是这样的:帕丁森演的尼尔把对方头盔和面罩扯下来以后就放过对方,此时诺兰却完全不给帕丁森的主视角或者对方的反应镜头(反正就是不让对方露脸)。其实有一定观影量的观众稍微想想就能猜到对方大概率是有剧情分量的角色。一个包含时空变化元素的电影,突然出现一个有剧情分量,但在前期又不直接给镜头的角色,稍微想想就能猜到角色身份了吧。至于最后结局那个不大不小的反转,一开头剧院戏专门给蒙面士兵背包上配饰特写的时候多多少少也预料到了。 电影不是逻辑游戏,当剧本的建构、镜头的拍摄和剪辑完全为剧情的复杂度、逻辑完备性和所谓高概念设定服务的时候,电影就被毁灭了。看懂《看不见的客人》《暗黑》《信条》这类“烧脑”影视剧带来的所谓智力快感和小学生某次数学作业得满分被老师表扬后获得的快感其实没有本质区别。10年前我也算一个诺兰铁粉,当时作为高中生,还会因为在影片前三分之一看穿《致命魔术》中贝尔的魔术套路而沾沾自喜。但随着观影量上升,现在对诺兰真的是越发无感了。17年《敦刻尔克》以后本以为他要转型,又稍稍恢复了对他的期待,谁想到《信条》一夜退步到解放前。哎……《追踪》《记忆碎片》时期的诺兰,给人感觉潜力无限,将来一定能在影史上留下不朽杰作。但从《致命魔术》开始,他好像一直在自己的舒适区里打转。把诺兰近十年的电影拿去和那些电影史上真正伟大的电影做比较,总感觉他这几年真的是不思进取。前段时间看完《八佰》后又回顾了几部影史留名的战争片经典。看《信条》前一天刚好在家里三刷了苏联电影《士兵之歌》。看完《信条》走出影院的时候,一个直接的感觉是,这两个半小时里无数直来直去的反应镜头、快速剪辑、说明性台词所传递的信息和意义还不如《士兵之歌》里面阿廖沙遇到的伤残士兵和妻子从车站回家时那个一分钟左右的长镜头丰厚:当无名无姓的苏联妇女站在月台上转头望向伤兵夫妻那一瞬间,无限的情感、张力、历史和伤痛溢出了银幕。 现在的诺兰,离丘赫莱依的这一分钟,还差着大半辈子。
【TNABO】海王:超级,英雄,大片 “戏说不是瞎说,改编不是乱编。现在西方国家有些人把我们的经典名著《西游记》拿去拍了个什么《海王》。我没看过,但听说故事讲孙悟空和女妖精去海里找定海神针。据说金箍棒改成个叉子,美猴王变成了长发糙汉,还和女妖精谈起了恋爱。孙悟空怎么和女妖精谈恋爱呢?人妖不分,是非颠倒,有意思吗?年轻人还在笑,像这样一个神话英雄、世界名著,如果如此恶搞,那么这个剧的主创人员、编导演需要向中国人民谢罪的。” [手动狗头] ———————手动分割—————— 伏尔泰曾经吐槽神圣罗马帝国既不神圣也不罗马更不是帝国。他的话也可以套用来评价当下大多数超级英雄大片:既不超级也不英雄更不大片。近几年很多好莱坞超英电影,不管是DC家还是漫威,剧情上不是故作高深(BVS、美队3、黑豹)就是轻浮破碎(银卫系列、正联、雷神3)。而视听上要么MTV化(扎克施耐德),要么向电视剧靠拢(尾灯)。《海王》算是个惊喜。虽然拿六学梗调侃了一下《海王》,但我还是得表扬下温子仁导演,只花了1.6亿美元(未包含宣发),却拍出3亿美元的效果。在商业片范畴内,《海王》的视听建构充满惊喜,以至于其“古典”兮兮到不用动脑子的剧情都不能算缺点。对于我这种喝着70-90年代新好莱坞电影的“奶”长大的观众而言,《海王》唤起了童年时期看好莱坞blockbuster的回忆:超级,英雄,大片。
【TNABO】Roger Ebert关于少年派的影评 Life of Pi BY ROGER EBERT / November 20, 2012 cast & creditsPiSuraj Sharma Pi (adult)Irrfan Khan GitaTabu CookGerard Depardieu WriterRafe Spall 20th Century Fox presents a film directed by Ang Lee. Written by David Magee, based on the novel by Yann Martel. Running time: 125 minutes. Rated PG (for emotional thematic content throughout, and some scary action sequences and peril).Printer-friendly » E-mail this to a friend »Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" is a miraculous achievement of storytelling and a landmark of visual mastery. Inspired by a worldwide best-seller that many readers must have assumed was unfilmable, it is a triumph over its difficulties. It is also a moving spiritual achievement, a movie whose title could have been shortened to "life."The story involves the 227 days that its teenage hero spends drifting across the Pacific in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. They find themselves in the same boat after an amusing and colorful prologue, which in itself could have been enlarged into an exciting family film. Then it expands into a parable of survival, acceptance and adaptation. I imagine even Yann Martel, the novel's French-Canadian author, must be delighted to see how the usual kind of Hollywood manhandling has been sidestepped by Lee's poetic idealism. The story begins in a small family zoo in Pondichery, India, where the boy christened Piscine is raised. Piscine translates from French to English as "swimming pool," but in an India where many more speak English than French, his playmates of course nickname him "pee." Determined to put an end to this, he adopts the name "Pi," demonstrating an uncanny ability to write down that mathematical constant that begins with 3.14 and never ends. If Pi is a limitless number, that is the perfect name for a boy who seems to accept no limitations. The zoo goes broke, and Pi's father puts his family and a few valuable animals on a ship bound for Canada. In a bruising series of falls, a zebra, an orangutan and the lion tumble into the boat with the boy, and are swept away by high seas. His family is never seen again, and the last we see of the ship is its lights disappearing into the deep — a haunting shot that reminds me of the sinking train inBill Forsyth's "Housekeeping" (1987). This is a hazardous situation for the boy (Suraj Sharma), because the film steadfastly refuses to sentimentalize the tiger (fancifully named "Richard Parker"). A crucial early scene at the zoo shows that wild animals are indeed wild and indeed animals, and it serves as a caution for children in the audience, who must not make the mistake of thinking this is a Disney tiger.
【TNABO】Roger Ebert 关于Skyfall影评已出,四星满分 Craig’s 007 reinvigorated in ‘Skyfall’ BY ROGER EBERT FILM CRITIC November 7, 2012 12:52PM Reprints 2 TweetDaniel Craig reprises his role as James Bond in the action-adventure film "Skyfall." | AP Photo/Sony Pictures/Columbia Pictures ‘SKYFALL’ ★★★★ Stars: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Albert Finney Length: 2 hrs., 23 min. Rating: PG-13 for intense violent sequences throughout, some sexuality, language and smoking In this 50th year of the James Bond series, with the dismal “Quantum of Solace” (2008) still in our minds, “Skyfall” triumphantly reinvents 007 in one of the best Bonds ever. This is a full-blooded, joyous, intelligent celebration of a beloved cultural icon, with Daniel Craig taking full possession of a role he previously played unconvincingly. I don’t know what I expected in Bond No. 23, but certainly not an experience this invigorating. The movie’s innovations begin in its first shots, which abandon the familiar stalking silhouettes in the iris lens, and hit the ground running. Bond and another agent are in Istanbul, chasing a man who has stolen a crucial hard drive, and after a chase through city streets (involving no less than three Fruit Cart Scenes), 007 is running on top of a train. We know from earlier films that Bond can operate almost anything, but “Skyfall” incredibly has him commandeer a giant Caterpillar and continue the chase by crushing a flatcar filled with VW Beetles. It’s the kind of absurd stunt we expect in a Bond movie, but this one relies on something unexpected: a dead-serious M (Judi Dench), following the action from M16 in London and making a fateful decision. After an enemy agent grabs Bond as a human shield, M’s other agent, Eve (Naomie Harris), has both men in her gun sights. The stakes are very high. “Take the shot!” M commands. Bond seems to die, although since this happens around the 20-minute mark, we’re not very surprised that he doesn’t. M begins to compose the obituary of Commander James Bond, and she might as well also be writing her own. Time has passed her by, she’s older, and her new boss, Mallory (Ralph Fiennes), convenes a public (!) hearing requiring her to defend her tenure. It’s time for a generation to be put out to pasture. Even Q and, as it turns out, Miss Moneypenny are practically kids. M is not quire ready to retire, and “Skyfall” at last provides a role worthy of Judi Dench, one of the best actors of her generation. She is all but the co-star of the film, with a lot of screen time, poignant dialogue, and a character who is far more complex and sympathetic than we expect in this series. The film is guided by a considerable director (Sam Mendes), written by the heavyweights Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan, and delivers not only a terrific Bond but a terrific movie, period. If you haven’t seen a 007 for years, this is the time to jump back in. There’s a theory that you can grade the Bonds on the quality of their villains. In “Skyfall,” this is a cerebral megalomanic named Silva, played by Javier Bardem, whose unpronounceable Anton Chigurh in “No Country for Old Men” approached the high-water mark of Hannibal Lecter. Here he plays a bleached blond computer whiz who stole the drive containing the guarded identities of every M16 agent. Are we supposed to think of Julian Assange? This is a brand-new Bond with love and respect for the old Bond. This is dramatized during Bond’s visit to the weathered Scottish mansion inhabited by Kincade (Albert Finney), which has secrets to divulge and continues the movie’s rewriting of the character’s back story. During the early Bonds, did we ever even ask ourselves about 007’s origins in life? “Skyfall” even produces a moment designed to inspire love in Bond fans: a reappearance of the Aston Martin DB5 from “Goldfinger,” which remains in good operating condition. Just as Christopher Nolan gave rebirth to the Batman movies in “The Dark Knight,” here is James Bond lifted up, dusted off, set back on his feet and ready for another 50 years. And am I completely misguided when I expect to see Miss Moneypenny become a Bond girl in the next film?
