The Adjustment Bureau《调整局》:自由意志教科书
金庸小说里面说到“心魔”,说到有一部兵书,就有一部佛法来化解;那些练武练到走火入魔的人,都是因为只掌握了兵书没有掌握佛法的缘故。黑客帝国里面Neo最终发现,只要自己意志够强大,你可以随意掰弯勺子,或者把人都透视成0和1的电脑符号;上小学的时候,老师告诉我们,人最大的敌人就是自己,如果要好好学习天天向上,就要战胜瞌睡虫好玩心等等一切阻碍进步的原因……所以,The Adjustment Bureau 里面揭示的理念——所谓心魔啊自由意志啊等等一点也不新,也不足为奇,那都是金庸、Neo和我们小学老师玩剩下的。 相比于预告片的Film Noir黑暗气质,电影正片有点平铺直叙得让人失望。故事一开始就告诉观众有“调整局”这么一个东西存在,Matt Damon饰演的政客在事业与偶遇美女Emily Blunt的爱情之间徘徊不定,而调整局的雇员从打工仔到老大依次递推出现,劝说/要求他放弃所谓Plan之外的事情;然后到全剧最高潮的时候编剧摆了观众一道,提出所谓自由意志就是自己心魔,只要战胜心魔,自己也可以……云云(此处为不剧透省略三百字),看上去像是完全编不下去了所以只能搞出来个柳暗花明而已。 相比故事的薄弱,production design倒显得有点意思。调整局这个新造出来的词汇总让我想到美国一系列的神秘官僚机构,比如联邦调查局,中情局等等,而主演的服装也恰好满足了我对这种庞大臃肿而又疑云重重的机构的想象。五六十年代的复古西装礼帽,冷峻阴暗的办公大楼,挑高的天花板和层层叠叠的档案柜,对,还有官大一级压死人的官僚制度和可笑的”Chairman”的称呼——都让我回到了冷战时代,不知道是在讽刺Communism还是杜鲁门主义。但这种讽刺性机构的存在,就更让我觉得电影中关于事业和爱情的讨论不堪一击,美国人认为他们的价值观才是主流,这不是恰恰与“自由”意志背道而驰吗?Matt Damon的演技没看出来好,Emily Blunt的气质还真不错,努力营造得使两个人之间终于有了点气场,虽然最后那个吻——其实最开始那个吻也是,实在是让人觉得有点矫情,不知道是不是导演的“自由”意志作祟。
