The monuments mean《古迹卫士》:炖成肉粥的龙虾
情人节的晚上电影院里都拖家带口的;有看琼瑶片《Endless Love》的,有看科幻片新版《机械战警》的,有带着娃看《冰雪奇缘》的,我们看的《古迹卫士》算是偏文艺的一类。 二战中纳粹疯狂掠夺价值连城的艺术品,许多珍品毁于一旦;美国派出不谙军事的艺术工作人员,组成古迹卫士,在欧洲艰苦卓绝的环境中挽救一件又一件的人类珍宝,这样的素材简直是龙虾,随便清蒸红烧都是佳肴。可惜克鲁尼有心无力,拍成了普通肉粥。在我看来,他既想走文艺路线又想走商业路线,所以既有文艺片的老戏骨,又有开不断的美国玩笑,既有长篇大论的过分煽情,又有坐怀不乱的隐忍感情,结果,把龙虾生生炖成了四不像。 我不想说这部电影是部失败之作,因为故事完整,演技一流,整体风格也从服装、音乐和美术设计上体现出来了,是部值得一看的片子。但看完之后,觉得满心惋惜,正如IMDB上一篇影评所说,这远不是今年最差的作品,但却是今年最让人失望的作品。的确,个顶个的老戏骨,从Bill Murray到《唐顿庄园》的老爷,从帅哥达蒙到冷艳女神凯特·布兰切特,这么多一流演员,一流素材,随便找一个有经验的导演来拍,都能拍得比这好上很多。 也有可圈可点的细节。在家人送来的战地包裹里,雪花和简陋的浴室中飘下的圣诞歌声映衬着失血过多,走向死亡的伤员和向医生伸出的、最后绝望的想要抓住生之希望的手;看到美丽的马匹幽默之后突如其来的战斗、牺牲;在废墟上的枪战和那句“I am about to”;玛多那雕塑下宁静却残酷的死亡;还有音乐与服装风格,都是不错的东西。 另外,老演员们的表演真是惊艳!姜真的是老的辣。凯特布兰切特要是凭《蓝色茉莉花》拿了今年奥斯卡的最佳女主真是实至名归,她在这里的一颦一笑都把敌占区下一个外表保守、感情隐忍的中年女秘书表现得淋漓尽致,真是每个镜头尽可玩味。这么多优质原料没能拍成另外一部《虎口脱险》或者《美丽人生》,真可惜。 如果克鲁尼能把有限的两个小时多用于人物性格的描写而不是一而再再而三的笑话(说实在的,那些笑话挺好笑的,但冲淡了很多主题);如果能把长篇大论的政府报告缩短为几句隽永的话(Donald的那封信其实就表达出了),找个完整的主题把故事从头到尾串得更顺畅一点,一部佳作就横空出世了。克鲁尼第一次当导演,还是太稚嫩了点。 最后说一下这个故事本身的价值观问题。我以前是坚定的人本主义者,觉得世界上没有什么东西比人的生命更加珍贵。但现在我的看法有所改变,比如这部电影中米开朗基罗的雕塑,雷诺阿的画;这个世界上是有一些比个人生命更珍贵的东西的。正如影片中所说,“这些艺术品是整个人类现代社会的基石”,有的东西,值得牺牲人的生命去挽救,因为如果没有了这些东西,那人类的存在与动物也就没有区别。
