Oscar & Lucinda,Notes on a Scandal,Charlotte Gray,Heaven??品味過十幾部Cate Blanchett的片子,從沒懷疑過她詮釋角色的才能和挑選劇本的慧眼。也是因為她了解到這部片子。
至于Bill Murray,縱然不一定是熒幕上的救世英雄,但也實在對他屢屢塑造的窩囊知識份子形象不感冒。特別是Lost in Translation,沒看進去,就難免覺得片子自戀,越是覺得自戀就越是不買賬。他和Scarlet Johanson這對不討我歡喜的配對加速了這個惡性循環(huán)。對他印象最深的,還是Coffee & Cigarette——畢竟還有Tom Waits,White Strips這樣的跨界大名。在不嚴格意義上,這片子也算是他和Cate的第一次“合作”。于是想,這次兩人正面交鋒,Cate一貫的女強人形象應該能夠激發(fā)出他別樣的素質(zhì)。
影片可算是半戲中戲,講述以Bill Murray為首的水中生物研究兼紀錄片創(chuàng)作團隊的又一次冒險之旅。上一部紀錄片“滑鐵盧”為整部影片定下了有些哀怨的基調(diào),尋找鯊魚為死去好友報仇的這一次旅程是整個影片的基石。久而重逢的兒子、情史豐富的戀人、亦敵亦友的記者以及各有所思的團隊成員
看這類悶騷型的冷幽默的片子,我個人忒喜歡。
《水中生活》的導演韋斯·安德森,到目前總共好像出了四部片子,我只看過后兩部,也就是《天才的一家 / The Royal Tenenbaums》和這部《水中生活》。有意思的是,我很癡迷他這種有點散漫、有點無賴、有點無所謂、又有點嚴肅的調(diào)調(diào)。這或許有點觀其作如觀其人的感受,也大概因為我生活中的好朋友大多歷久情執(zhí)的,也都這種性情,看這種電影會讓我想念我的這些朋友們。
《天才的一家 / The Royal Tenenbaums》用很悶騷的手法勾勒著一幅美式中產(chǎn)家庭貌合神離的典型圖畫,說實在的,離我們的國情很大區(qū)別,大多數(shù)情況下,影片中很難找到共鳴。不過,細細體會一下,卻能很輕易的感受到一股家庭溫情。這讓我想起庾澄慶的一首老歌好像大致是這樣的歌唱:失去了你,贏了全世界都無所謂。有家,就擁有了一切。
《水中生活》跟前作一樣還是很悶騷,但我看來卻顯得跟睿智練達??纯此麄儭拔魉鲾z制組”那頂紅得夸張的“睡帽”、那一身淺藍色的“睡衣”、還有那個斜映在制服一側(cè)的“Z”字標志
This film is a loose collection of cameo pieces that are, on their own, pretty funny, in an understated way. But the jokes are discursive and weak, and the film lacks a general direction to build up momentum. A very distant, impersonal film, where audience identification is laughingly discouraged.
Thanks to good editing and undeservedly great cinematography, however, the narrative is never a drag, and the 120+ minutes of pointless fun seems to just zip by. But since the film is far from engrossing, and there is little demand on viewer's attention, one feels no urgency to complete it any time soon. So if you have a party at home, and people have to get up from the couch to get a beer, or pass water, or simply go to the bedroom next door to make love, and then come back picking up the film where they leave off...... YES, this is the perfect party movie.
Why I get 5 starts for this movie? Because this's Wes Anderson.
When you've done with his movie, feeling so good but didn't know why. That was supposed to be a movie from WA(kind of funny that Woody Allen also the same abbreviation).
Maybe one of the reasons that I like WA's movie was the ending. Every character was always finding something, but mostly don't have a traditional happy ending.
