September 28 如果还有明天
1990的秋天 演完最後一場 生老病死的對話 送來新的希望 September 27 还是抵挡不住两大影帝的完美合作,Road to Perditio自己的影评写的实在太烂了,还是借鉴下别人的好文章:) 转: “当其他人问我,苏利文是不是个好人,或者他是不是无恶不作,我的答案永远都是一样,我只跟他们讲,他是我父亲。” 苏利文是江湖上闻名的杀手,深得老板赏识,在一次意外行动中被充满好奇心的儿子跟踪,还发现了他的秘密。早对苏利文嫉恨有加的黑帮老大之子借口掩盖真相,竟然对他们一家痛下毒手,险遭灭门的苏利文父子逃过劫难,亡命天涯。打算投靠的另一黑帮拒绝收留,被雇佣的赏金杀手也一路追杀,走投无路的父子俩陷入绝境。 与血雨腥风的黑帮电影截然不同,同样是描写黑帮故事的《毁灭之路》出人意料地把镜头聚焦在三段复杂的父子情上,可谓别出心裁,既有黑帮老大与儿子、与养子间的恩怨情仇,也有杀手与儿子难以割舍的血肉浓情,天才导演山姆·文德斯(Sam Mendes)以内敛的表现手法,耐人寻味的镜头,成功地诠释了这一切。 影片篇幅最多、最关键及表现得最出色的是杀手苏利文与儿子的情结。儿子迈克尔对父亲的敬畏和热爱促使他躲进父亲的轿车后座,这一鲁莽的举动却成为他们一家命运转折的导火线。当他目睹自己心目中不可替代的父亲原来是一个杀人不眨眼的黑道杀手时,内心的失落与打击令他备受折磨。当他还在极度痛苦的深渊中不可自拔的时候,罪恶的黑手已经伸向他们一家......在六个星期的逃亡过程中,失去亲人、无家可归的凄凉,陷阱重重的前路,儿子稚嫩的内心经历了一次又一次打击,他几乎“经历了自己所有的人生”。父亲苏利文凭着残酷现实磨练出来的身手和沉稳,犹如漆黑中隐隐约约的烛光,为他们在绝境中带来了一丝希望,他们开始对黑幕势力进行反击。 “你比较喜欢弟弟彼特,不喜欢我。”“哦,不会的,可能是他比较可爱些吧,而你,比较象我,但我不想你太象我......”一向与父亲缺乏交流的儿子,通过朝夕相处,对面前这个既熟悉又陌生的大人有了全新的了解,父亲细致入微的呵护重新唤醒了儿子濒临死亡的心灵。苏利文作为一个杀手,从来不会为个人情感耽误任务,但他只把这一切作为他的职业,作为自己养家谋生的手段,一家之主的他是一名称职的丈夫与好好先生,他从来没有意识到自己家庭的欠缺,也不会感觉对家庭成员有任何愧疚,更加不会考虑自己的行为对他人的影响。但当他被为之卖命的老大出卖、还被绝情地追杀的时候,他才重新思考自己存在的价值和肩上的责任,以及家庭对自己的真正意义。他学会了关心一直爱着自己的儿子,学会与他的交流方式,明白自己对他身体力行的重要性,他耐心地手把手教儿子生活的技能,关心他的未来、保护他的一切。 对毁灭了自己美好生活的黑帮,苏利文选择了以其人之道还治其人之身,把仇恨的子弹毫不留情地射向敌人。黑帮老大鲁尼一向把苏利文当作亲生儿子看待,但原来老奸巨滑的他仅仅是“当作”而已,甚至可能从来都没有把他视同真正的“儿子”,尤其是当亲生子库纳尔做尽坏事并且与苏利文不共戴天的时候,他竟毫不犹豫地倒向自己骨肉一边,盲目地庇护库纳尔,并任由黑恶势力对苏利文穷追猛打、赶尽杀绝。影片在表现鲁尼与苏利文前后天渊之别的关系时可谓不吝笔墨、惟妙惟肖。两人之前的亲密无间,甚至共弹乐曲,场面感人,及后逃亡的苏利文艰难地再次接近鲁尼,两人的关系与景况已经一落千丈,一席掏心挖肺的终极对话后,决裂关系已经无可挽回,也宣告了即将到来的悲剧命运。 苏利文忍无可忍,对鲁尼进行报复的场面是影片的众多精巧场景之一:漆黑阴冷的街道,大雨滂沱,鲁尼在众保镖的前呼后拥之下准备上路,猛然间,黑暗中一轮又一轮乱枪扫射,他周围的保镖被逐个干掉。镜头缓慢横摇,枪声被背景音乐覆盖,释放的压抑和强烈的震撼同时涌现。身体紧靠着车门的鲁尼骤然变得形单影只、孤立无援。镜头缓缓地推至黑暗中走出来、紧握机枪的苏利文,画面在他扭曲、绝望的面庞与鲁尼苍老、无血色的面容之间切换,苏利文复杂又无奈的表情深深地烙印在他被大雨打湿的面上,随着一阵一阵火光闪动,一切恩仇已经成为过去...... 制作电影经验不多的“新人”山姆·文德斯在本片的发挥出奇老到,他放弃在《美国丽人》(American Beauty,1999)中采用过的超炫色彩,改用冷色调,并通过一系列平实甚至简朴的影像去表达主题,而所展现的细致精巧则无丝毫改变。影片中大量的潮湿夜景、高光反差与黑白对比,非常贴切地衬托出各人物的性格和命运,也折射出一幕幕宿命的悲剧。角色复杂的心理和关系,在若隐若现的灯光映照下彻底暴露。全片罕有的阳光灿烂却成为主人公命运尘埃落定的高潮时刻,这一意外反差的运用,对黑色主题起到了强烈的催化作用。剧中采用了充满爱尔兰民族色彩的吹奏乐,时而欢快,时而忧郁,非常准确地把握了剧情的发展变化。《毁灭之路》集中了老中青三代演技派高手,他们分别是代表过去的保罗·纽曼(Paul Newman)、代表现在的汤姆·汉克斯(Tom Hanks)和代表未来的裘迪·洛(Jude Law)。前面两位的表现不用多加评价,绝对精彩无比,特别是保罗·纽曼,由于年事已高,近来已经绝少参与电影的拍摄,这次他可谓老当益壮,演绎的黑帮老大角色非常出彩,镜头不多,但非常到位。而年轻一代的裘迪·洛表现与两位前辈相比也毫不逊色,为了更接近角色甚至牺牲了自己的靓仔形象,一头浓密的头发被稀疏处理,洁净整齐的牙齿变得参差和布满黄滓,指甲也脏兮兮的,不但形象丑恶,性格也绝顶怪诞无赖,而他也成为影响主角命运的重要角色。 September 23 Road to Perdition——touched by this movie and it's music<Road to Perdition> is an old work of Tom Hanks on 2002, and I had known it that year. Unluckily, it's not a right time for me to feel the profoundity in this great work, and I have to say I was not growning up mantlely enough to understand sensation between a father and a son.
In the beginning part of this story, I found it some kind of most crime films and always with a cool, professional killer( like Leo in <Leo>). However, after I've been attracted with its polt, I found it's not just story of guns and pangs but true ourpourings between a father and a son. During the 6 weeks of hegira, the father tried to protect his son and continued with his revenge, while the son made his best to help father and worried about father's safe. The killer, father began to know much with his son, and son also got his feeling of being beloved. At last, while son's playing with dog, the father stood behind the window, watching his son with gratify, a shot ended father's life , which is a fair result for a killer. I can't forget the last words of Sullivan(father), which is "I'm sorry, sorry..." At that time, I was so moved with it, what love the father placed on his son! And I'm also storm in the son's love for his father——"when some body asked me , whether Sullivan's good man, my answer would always be: he's my father." First writting with films, and I'd like movie very much, especially classical ones with good incidental music. Wish u all to see this file:) September 19 a bloody, painful day with gain (Part I)Gotta puzzled with this topic,hum?:) well, as it's been long for me to write some here, I'd be shamed and discomposure with such a lazy man I was.
See, during the last 2 weeks, I'd be engaged with the very project of Educational Administration of Fine
Art College Shanghai University, and it ended at last today. The whole project is just a part of the
entirely decieving actions of the Fine Art College, which is included with some best art courses like,
design of exhibition, history of art in China, multimedia art, etc,with some socalled best art labs among
all the art colleges in Shanghai, and other advanced administration managements like centralized E-
Management which is made of some data-based website of hypervisor, and our project is a main component of
it. Why called it's decieving actions? In fact, as I know from those talks between leaders in the
college, the fine motivition is the appointed fund from the Educational Administracion Commitee of
Shanghai, which is an important sydic group in high school and have the right on those funds. So, those
avaricious functionaries should try all their best, with false successful projects or publized researchs
to show off before those inspection experts and make the Commitee believe that it's worthwhile and
profitable to continue with their funding budget. Worthwhile and profitable, to whom? those babish
students charocal-drawing in the hall? or some others? I don't know either, but the only good syptom in
future is that the BMW car of the dean can upgrade from series 7 to upper level. I'd to say it's the very
primary cause for those junk artists and their beloved arts! September 15 Buffalo Springfield最近又开始怀旧了,想起了一年前看的Cage的那部《战争之王》,感触颇深,同时也念起了影片开头的那段带有浓郁乡村摇滚味道的曲子,《What it's worth》, 也特此找来那个乐队,一起回味60年代的精粹:) 1945年11月,Neil Young出生于加拿大多伦多,父亲是加拿大著名的体育记者Scott Young。在双亲离异之后,Neil Young跟随母亲来到了Winnipeg。正如那个时代 Used to play in a rock 'n roll band,
September 03 To be or not to be----<Hamlet>, ShakespeareSee, I have not written my space for a certain period, and part of the reason is that it's a special week for me, which is full of chaos, frustrations and worries.
As for the project----a Browser-Server system for the educational administration of Art department in Shanghai University, which we thought as an abortive baby, to some extend, the most unsuccessful item I've seen, we got to deploy it on Wed, and met a lot of severe problems with that fogyish server, and most of the troubles are the outdated system envioment, which showed us its perfectly uncompatible with any other subsequent softwares, fortunately, ours included. And the next week, I'll have to try all my best to overcome this problem, or our efforts on the development with this system'll come to nothing!
In the other hand, with the reopening of the library in campus, I'm very excited coz one day, after we r off duty, I made to the reading room without socalled proof-card and looked around with those shelves of books and smelled peculiar air with cultrue and knowlege, what the feeling! This reminded me of the days in collage when I'd like to spend most time in science reading room, exploring in the world of software science and dreaming all day to be a man like those herios who always apear in the head page of books. Very childish, right?:) In the end, I'd like a sentence quoted from Shakespeare to represent the will for next week. |
