李安《断背山》- Love is a force of nature(转载)
上上周看完brokeback mountain之后,我赶紧找来小说看了一遍,然后搜索到尽可能多的评论和interview,下载了soundtrack听,接下来起头泡imdb上的论坛(I know, get a life and stuff, but just couldn't help)。其实那些都很一般,我对喜欢的工具一贯长短常devoted的,并且不时可以obsessed in something是人生一大幸福。但是不一般的是那个故事不断在心里盘旋,挥之不往。
片子情节是一个forbidden love story(导演李安不喜欢说那是个gay story),两个cowboy之间二十年的豪情。他们配合在断背上放羊的时候,因为孤单或者因为大天然的神异感化或者因为激动,碰碰出火花。原来都认为是一时的兴致好聚好散,可是豪情却出其不料的日久弥深,不能自休,二十年的岁月只是愈加深他们的爱。但是迫于社会压力和本身的抗拒,一方始末没有勇气承受和对方在一路生活,每年只要一两次时机碰头。他们各自成婚生子,但是都过得不快乐。曲到对方出事了才大白那份豪情在相互心中的重量,但是已经懊悔莫及。
李安说要使love story动人,只能拼命创造前提让两个相爱的人不克不及在一路。60年代,同性恋,生离死别。如许的题材稍不重视就会沉溺堕落到毫无意义的煽情上往。幸亏导演不是他人,是李安,于是片子绝大大都时候都苦涩压造,除了最初一个镜头,整个片子底子没有筹算往释放豪情。说的好听是委婉,说的欠好听是守旧,每个镜头规端方矩,不求立异只求无过,可如许竟然恰好是最有力的表示体例。看似若无其事,实则是更高深的内功,悄悄点过就让你肝肠寸断。
片子对细节的重视在看片子的时候其实不会察觉到。跟良多人一样,我从片子院出来的时候并没有太多觉得。但是事后片子中的一些细节却keep haunting me,越来越清晰的在脑中重现。接下来几天感应病入膏肓的失落和孤单,似乎本身的一部门遗失了,无处觅觅。那不是一部能随便忘记的片子。
原来想说几个我印象深入的情节,但是发现从头到位几乎每个细节都记忆犹新,出格是看过小说之后,连对话我都记得很清晰了。断背山里面实是没有一个余外的镜头,每一个scene都在沉淀仆人公的豪情。
小说也写的相当超卓。举第一段为例,是倒叙,写Jack身后Ennis的失意崎岖潦倒的生活:他单身,赋闲,住在一个挈车里面,风吹起沙尘打在壁上哗哗响,破靴子,剩咖啡。而他当天就必需打包走人。He might have to stay with his married daughter until he picks up another job, yet he is suffused with a sense of pleasure because Jack Twist was in his dream.
那一段看完了整个故事再回头看,几乎能够体味到Ennis的心绪,他独一的快乐只来自于他,即便只是在梦里见到。
imdb上几乎所有的评论都是毫不小气的极尽赞誉,除了个此外homophobe(思疑是一些troll)在大放厥词之外。随意贴一个最简短的评论:
The film was received by a long and heartfelt applause at the Venice Film Festival. I was kind of numb. Ang Lee, the magician, had dazzle his audience with another masterful trick. I'm not going to spoil the experience for you by telling you much about the film but as a way to share my own personal journey "Brokeback Mountain" inspired me to undertake, let me say that it's been one of the most unexpected emotional rides I've ever had in a movie theatre. A love story like no other, told without inhibitions, without cheap shots. With an honesty that is more unique than rare. Heath Ledger is, quite simply, extraordinary and Jake Gyllenhaal's commitment moved me and enthralled me. I can't wait to see it again.
像李安的大大都片子一样,中国人良多觉得乏味,可是老外凡是捧到天上顶礼跪拜。虽说卧虎躲龙我至今没领略到其妙处,但是断背山是要死力选举。imdb上的brokeback mountain版的帖子数量已经有5万篇之多,并且每分钟都有若干新贴呈现。除了故事自己之外,两个男配角也其实是太惹眼。有人抱怨说Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger are so damn good looking... 但是若换两个不那么帅的演员,片子的传染力必定大大降低。
