One of the finest romantic films ever made (名副其實(shí)!), I Know Where I’m Going tells the story of Joan Webster (the great Dame Wendy Hiller), a middle-class English girl willing to do anything to move up in the world. As with Colonel Blimp, the film’s themes are specifically rooted in English identity—in this case, the British obsession with social class. When Joan is on her way to marry a wealthy industrialist on his private Scottish isle of Kiloran, a storm hits, trapping her on the Isle of Mull. There she meets a naval officer returning from the war (Livesey again), and an attraction forms between the two.
This may sound like it conforms to the traditional romantic-comedy cliches, but I Know Where I'm Going has a lot more on its mind than your average Meg Ryan movie. This is a serious picture, saturated with myth and superstition, and containing some of Michael Powell’s most i…
If he shall ever cross the thresholdof moy
年少時(shí)他跨過(guò)了這扇門,
Never shall he leave it a free man
自由則再無(wú)可能。
He shall be chained to a woman
一個(gè)女子會(huì)成為他身上的枷鎖,
To the end of his day
詛咒至死無(wú)改,
And shall die in his chained
終其一生鎖鏈加身。
Prelude
《我走我路》是邁克爾·鮑威爾個(gè)人第二部在弓箭手公司創(chuàng)作的電影。在《坎特伯雷故事》在市場(chǎng)與評(píng)論界雙雙遇冷后,邁克爾·鮑威爾本想推出弓箭手公司的第一部特藝彩色作品《平步青云》
#DVD 整體節(jié)奏好快,開場(chǎng)幾句宿命論般的旁白和女主童年經(jīng)歷+演職人員表畫面結(jié)合就把女主的性格交代清楚了。后續(xù)的火車轉(zhuǎn)輪船轉(zhuǎn)汽車總讓我想起血與冰激凌中的那個(gè)比較出名的轉(zhuǎn)場(chǎng)。男主則一樣帶著宿命出場(chǎng),整部電影的宿命感好強(qiáng),結(jié)尾這部分算收的不錯(cuò),風(fēng)笛手,女主的宿命,男主的詛咒。
未婚夫與男主似乎對(duì)照著新資本與舊貴族,“Money isn't everything”,這么看影片似乎也呈現(xiàn)了另一種《百戰(zhàn)將軍》,只是這結(jié)尾還是不咋喜歡,有種失去了“我走我路”的感覺(jué)(畢竟還是時(shí)代的局限性)
Joan Webster,韋小姐瓊,從小就是個(gè)爭(zhēng)強(qiáng)好勝的,凡事有主見(jiàn),長(zhǎng)得也很有主見(jiàn)。二十五歲時(shí),瓊決心要嫁一富翁,一個(gè)年紀(jì)可以做她爹的化工實(shí)業(yè)老板。老板在蘇格蘭西部擁有一個(gè)島嶼,韋小姐安排了行程,從曼徹斯特火車輪船日夜兼程,趕到島上去嫁他。趕到蘇格蘭海邊遇上了風(fēng)暴,把她困在了Tobermory鎮(zhèn)。鎮(zhèn)上居民熱情質(zhì)樸,使心高氣傲的韋小姐覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)不自在,她還遇到一個(gè)回家探親的海軍上校,上校和她一來(lái)二去便熟識(shí)了。天氣陰晴不定,瓊每天都想渡海,鎮(zhèn)上人攔都攔不住,終于給她硬行搶渡,差點(diǎn)船毀人亡,落湯雞似的回來(lái)。最后天晴了,瓊卻放棄了渡海。
著名的Archers——鮑威爾和普萊斯伯格二人組的作品。和《紅菱艷》不同,這是浪漫喜劇,故事橋段無(wú)新意,結(jié)局也可預(yù)料,但過(guò)程出乎意料。并且營(yíng)造了極具感染力的氣場(chǎng),使蘇格蘭Tobermory鎮(zhèn)成為角色之一。我欣賞黑白畫面,他們把水和浪拍得極好。尤其大漩渦的場(chǎng)面,可謂驚心動(dòng)魄,讓人難以置信那是四十年代的作品。開場(chǎng)不久,從霧中走出來(lái)的牧羊女,逆光對(duì)話的船家,也都是神來(lái)之筆。鮑威爾和普萊斯伯格的人物,多…
