The Help《相助》:四星电影和五星电影的区别
The Help这部片子一直仰慕已久,最近终于找到机会来看。我知道这会是部好片子,也知道这会是一部好看的片子,从头到尾,果然也没有让我失望。我给这部片子打四星,是因为这部片子情节流畅,演员一流,感情真挚,价值观向上。然而,这不是一部五星电影。 豆瓣上的五星评分制,我是这样看的:大部分情节合适的好莱坞类型片,可以打到三星,如果情节新颖流畅,像The Help这样的,可以打到四星;之所以不是五星电影,是因为这部片子具有太浓厚的说教意味,更重要的是,导演和编剧的意图表现得太过明显,用中国的话说,叫匠心浓厚。 片子围绕美国南方密西西比州黑人的解放运动说开,讲Emma Stone饰演的白人富家小姐如何走进家里黑人保姆的内心世界。这是一个很好的题材,对比明显,容易出戏。导演和编剧显然也发现了这一点,就像龙虾无法做出不好吃的菜肴,抓着这个题材大作文章。政治太过正确的结果是,这更像一部宣传片而不是艺术片。举个例子,黑人保姆开始的不合作到后来的情同家人;Emma Stone母亲开始的冷酷到后来的洗白,情节的起承转合过于戏剧化,当然会受到观众在电影院里的青睐,但离艺术片所能达到的高度,还差很远。 之所以不是五星电影的另一点是,意图表现得太多太满。导演和编剧无时无刻不在对银幕下的观众叫嚣着:“观众们,注意了,我现在要说这个这个……”比如Emma Stone在自己的梳妆台上把她和闺蜜的照片扣过来一幕。大家都知道导演是要表现Emma与白人保守势力决裂的决心,但这种过于象征的表现手法使得电影过于刻意,且低估了观众的智商,完全是多余的一幕。 The Help是部好电影,但不是五星电影。五星电影长什么样呢?我举个例子,同样是描写女性内心的电影《时时刻刻》。它的情节不是能一眼看穿的,不像The Help一样一潭死水,看了开头就知道结尾。它的情节 不是两极性的,因为生活不是非黑即白,非丑即美。观众从这样的电影中,才能看到自己的影子,感受到自己的内心,才明白真正的生活。 当然,五星是个非常主观的定义,甲之蜜糖乙之砒霜,就像美好的东西美到了一定程度就没有区别一样,每个人对标准以上的东西都有不同的口味。The Help就像是个标准,一部标准的四星电影,以上有无限的五星标准。
