Biutiful《美错》:死是生的一部分
在《巴别塔》和《21克》中有上佳表现的墨西哥导演冈萨雷斯的新片《美错》实在是部太沉重的片子,让人两个半小时都喘不过起来。在巴塞罗那阴霾的天空下,Javier Barden扮演的Uxbal在天堂和地狱、看得见和看不见的地方游走。他只有一两个月的寿命,每天面对的是狭窄混乱的小公寓和不谙世事的一双儿女;和他的职业是虚幻得不能再虚幻的与死人通灵,却接触最现实的底层生活——中国和非洲的非法移民;他在生与死之间、在现实与虚妄之间、在历史与未来之间、在爱情与情欲之间游走。巴塞罗那冰冷的天空仿佛一张大网罩住了这些显露和隐藏的人们。 灰色、蓝色,就是没有暖色。巴塞罗那在冈萨雷斯的镜头下仿佛是人间地狱一般的存在,遥远的圣家堂,明媚的地中海?那和这群人没有关系。明明是支离破碎的情节,却有生的悲哀、死的恐怖、性的混乱,以及偶尔闪现的、一瞬间的亲情和不知道是不是爱情的东西撑起了这个故事,让这部长达两个半小时的电影毫不冷场。 本片线索很多。Uxbal的“正职”是与死人交流,告诉他们活着的家属他们需要的东西,并安抚他们平静地进入另一个世界。这个职业使他能看见死去的人栩栩如生,也使他模糊了生与死的界限;除此之外,他帮助中国的非法移民找到工作,说服贪污的警察网开一面;劝说塞内加尔的偷渡者在这里住下来,他目所及处都是人间最悲惨最变态的景象,可是无能为力,为了生存,他不得不周旋于这些人之间,甚至从他们身上挣钱。他这种拉皮条式的职业与通灵正好相反,一个是高尚的,一个是卑贱的;可是这两种职业又都是一样的,因为他们都是为了抚慰不安的灵魂。他本心的善良让他无法完成这些工作,这种冲突在他为中国的非法移民买了六个煤气暖气,却导致二十五个工人一夜之间全部一氧化碳中毒身亡这一惨剧发生时达到高潮;当老板打开破旧的仓库大门,看到的是死尸、呕吐物、死去的孩子和女人,赤裸裸地惨剧呈现在导演的镜头下。这样的打击让他觉得即将而来的死亡也不能解决他的罪孽,而当他移出父亲的棺木,看到了几十年来从未见过的父亲的容颜时,那种久违的亲情又让人觉得潸然泪下。他的生活让人想到村上春树的一句话:“死并非生的对立面,而是作为生的一部分而存在。”这是个矛盾的人,矛盾的城市,矛盾的社会。即使影片结尾——那个与开头完美衔接的结尾也让人感到无言的沉重:在生里,他无法照顾好自己的一双可爱儿女,在死里,他只能重新抚慰自己的灵魂。 冈萨雷斯比在《巴别塔》时又更上一层楼,虽然还是片段故事的结合,但那种明显的多线叙事看不见了,取而代之的是更加圆熟的线索融合和情节对称。Javier Barden的演技令人赞叹,其难度比Colin Firth的乔治六世有过之而无不及,只是我过于注意字幕(本片全片西班牙语,在美国上映时采用了英文字幕)而没有来得及关注他的细微变化;两位中国演员成泰燊和罗晋在里面用普通话演出,戏份不多,与电影的基调还算搭界;电影色彩则一如冈萨雷斯之前作品一样的灰暗和冰冷。这个导演有风格,有进步,假以时日,必成大器。 本文版权属于作者waking王小心所有,更多请见http://www.wangxiaoxin.net
