无言的悲伤
这篇影评可能有剧透
在全英文的情况下,英勇无畏地看完了《Gone baby gone》,发现自己在英文上的造诣实在是很深@@#$%^&*%$#@#%(扇自己一耳光)。很棒的电影,配得上best of the year的称号, Ben Affleck 在这部处女作中表现出了自己出色的导演技巧与叙事才能,对于一个“演而优则导”的新人导演来说,真得很不容易,这部作品值得大家的掌声。
Ben Affleck 在这部片子中首先做了个出色的决定,就是自己不出演,而是拉上了演技好过自己百倍的弟弟 Casey Affleck 来出演主角,他犹豫的表情和内敛又不失火候的表演为影片增色不少,再加上 Morgan Freeman 与 Ed Harris 这两位奥斯卡级的老戏骨,光在表演方面,影片的可看性就提升了很多档次,以至女主角 Michelle Monaghan 的演技也进步不少。
影片改编自 Dennis Lehane的同名小说(就是 Mystic River 的作者 ),影片的成功一部分要归功于精彩的原著。故事并不复杂,讲述社会的污秽的电影已经屡见不鲜,近两年,成功的有《The departed》,失败的有《黑色大丽花》,但都比不上这部电影所给人的震撼。
首先影片的台词相当有哲理,影片开头,在优美的配乐声中主角 Patrick Kenzie 的一段独白直接点题:
“I always believed it was the things you don't choose that makes you who you are. Your city; Your neighborhood; Your family. People here take pride in these things. Like it was something they'd accomplished.The bodies around their souls. The cities wrapped around those.”
最关键的是这句:
“When I was young, I asked my priest how you could get to heaven and still protect yourself from all the evil in the world. He told me what God said to his children,‘ You are sheep among wolves, be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves. ' ”
接着故事展开了,一个女孩的失踪,一对侦探情侣介入调查,结局让所有人意外,并且充满了浓浓的悲剧感与一丝丝凝重。
影片一方面讽刺了污秽 乌烟瘴气的社会环境,另一方面又摆出了道德与法律,正义与道德的辩证问题,影片并没有反派,就我的观点来看,所有人物都是悲剧的,那3个警察与孩子的叔叔用不合法的途径保护孩子,最后2个死去,2个要在监狱渡过余生,男主角在道德与法律中徘徊,最终因为告发了他们的“犯罪”行为,女友兼搭档离开了他。没有谁对谁错,影片留给我们无限的忧伤与无奈,产生出了一种强烈的催人泪下的力量。
Ed Harris饰演的警探Remy与 Patrick Kenzie有一段对话中说:“Now, this place was a shithole, mind you.
Rats, roaches all over the place. But the kid's room, in the back , was spotless . No, l mean, he swept it, mopped it, it was immaculate .
The little boy's sitting on the bed holding onto his PlayStation or dear life. There's no expression on his face, tears streaming down.
He wants to tell me he just learned his multiplication tables. l mean, the father's got him in this crack den,subsisting on Twinkies and asswhippings, and this little boy just wants someone to tell him that he's doing a good job .”
这段对话格外震撼,以至于我想,如果我是那个警察,我也会去栽赃那个男孩的混蛋父亲。Remy说“kids forgive. Kids don't judge. Kids turn the other cheek.”天哪!孩子是如此无辜,但为什么要让他们在这个污秽的社会与恶劣的家庭环境成长!
当Patrick Kenzie看到男孩尸体的时候,他毫不犹豫地杀了那个虐童狂,He's just a kid !上帝啊,虐待孩子的人不配活着!但Remy最后死了,他死前的最后一句话是I love kids。他死了,带着自己对孩子的完美幻想中死了。
JACK; How many children have we seen destroyed?
REMY:Enough!
Morgan Freeman 饰演的Jack在最后关头还在祈求 Patrick Kenzie 让孩子和他在一起——We're just trying to give a little girl a life!而当他女友看到小女孩的时候她说:“She's happy. And that'll be okay, because we're gonna know what school she's in, and we're gonna know she's happy, and she's got birthday parties, and she smiles every day, and she has sleepovers.”说完泪流满面。所有人包括我都希望 Patrick Kenzie 放过他们,但,他没有。警车的到来,心碎了,孩子回到了母亲身边,但她不快乐,她没有与Jack一起时的微笑,她只能一个人默默地在家中看着卡通,看着自己不负责任的母亲去勾搭新的男友,谁也不会知道一个如同妓女的母亲的孩子将来会怎么样。
最后Patrick Kenzie来到了她身边,指着她手中的破旧的布娃娃,“ls that Mirabelle(他母亲在新闻中说她失踪时 代着一个叫Mirabelle得布娃娃)?” “Annabelle.”小女孩纠正道。继续天真地把玩自己的娃娃。这时眼泪流下来了(我的)。看着那些无辜的孩子,愿上帝保佑你们,愿你们永远开心,永远天真,远离邪恶,你们是如此可爱!
