The Legend Of 1900 导演:乔塞普·托纳托 演员:蒂姆·罗斯、浦路特·泰勒·文斯
剧情简介:1900年的第一天,往返于欧美两地的邮轮Virginian号上,煤炭工人Danny Boodman在头等舱
上发现一个被遗弃的新生儿,将他取名为:1900。
海上出生的1900,在陆地上却是个从未存在的人,没有亲人、没有户籍,也没有国籍,大海便是他的
摇篮,而他也随着Virginian号往返靠泊各个码头,逐渐长大。然而好景不常,一次的海上意外事件,造成
抚养1900的Danny意外丧生,幸而奇迹似的,某天深夜船上的众人被优美的琴声所惊醒,循着琴声而往,
居然是无师自通的1900在钢琴前忘我的演奏着,动人的旋律打动了众人,从此,1900展开了在海上弹奏
钢琴的旅程,也吸引了愈来愈多慕名而来的旅客。
Max在因缘际会下来到Virginian号加入乐队伴奏,也因此见识到这位传说中的海上钢琴师--1900,
两人因此结为好友。而1900在与发明爵士乐的传奇钢琴手Jelly同船竞技钢琴琴艺之后,声势更是如日
中天。但尽管Max再三鼓励1900下船去向全世界展露他的天赋,1900却始终未曾踏足陆地一步。直到
他在为唱片公司录制个人专辑时,意外见到船舱之外清秀动人的女孩,并在感动之余创作了《1900's
Theme》(即片头Max与乐器行老板所提到的不知名曲子)。随着女孩的下船离去,1900的心开始波动,
究竟1900会不会为了去寻找女孩而离开30多年来的船上生活?
简评: 1900这个角色,因为孤寂落寞的经历,使其更能敏锐的看透人心,并藉此弹奏、创作出感动人心
的乐曲。但一生面对海洋、面对钢琴,陆地上的一切,对他来说有着太多的不确定性,使他一直对陆
地踯躇不前。正如他所说:“我看不到陆地的尽头”,或许对1900而言,海天一色的景致看得到地平
线,往返多地的邮轮也有靠港停泊的时候,88个琴键是有限的,他可以据以创作无限的乐章,然而陆
地上绵延不绝的大城市,是他所看不清也无法掌握的。
本片的导演正是1990年前以《天堂电影院》(Cinema Paradiso)获得奥斯卡最佳外语片殊荣的
朱塞佩·托纳托雷。如同《天堂电影院》给人的感觉,托纳托雷以其擅长的叙事手法,使观众随着回
忆与现实交错间,轻易的融入剧情之中,并几乎因此而怀疑,本片是否为真人真事所改编。 而在本
片之中,托纳托雷也与埃尼奥·莫里康内(Ennio Morricone)这个配乐界的大师再度合作。(莫里康
内著名的电影配乐作品,包括:《天堂电影院》、《豪情四海》、《哈姆雷特》、《铁面无私》等等)
就如同所有以“钢琴师”为名的电影一般,配乐必然在电影里扮演了举足轻重的角色,因此影片的电
影原声也是值得细细品味收藏的对象。
《海上钢琴师》被誉为是1999年最不容错过的电影原声带之一,并众望所归地荣获了金球
奖最佳电影配乐奖。
经典台词 All that city. You just couldn't see the end to it. The end? Please? You please just
show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway. And I was grand too,
in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure. And I was getting off. Guaranteed.
There was no problem. It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I
didn't see. You understand that? What I didn't see. In all that sprawling city there
was everything except an end. There was no end. What I did not see was where
the whole thing came to an end. The end of the world...
Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are
eightyeight of them, nobody can tell you any different.They are not infinite. You
are infinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that.
That I can live by. You get me up on that gangway and you're rolling out in front
of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end,
and that’s the truth, Max. That they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if
that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play.
You're sitting on the wrong bench. Thats God'spiano. Christ! Did, did you see the
streets? Just the streets… There were thousands of them! And how do you do it
down there.How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of
land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die...
All that world is weighing down on me, you don’t even know where it comes
to an end, and aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart at the thought of
it? The enormity of living it? I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by,
but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here, but never more
than fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness, but on a piano
that was not infinite. I learned to live that way. Land? Land is a ship too big
for me. It's a woman too beautiful; its a voyage too long, a perfume too strong.
It's a music I don't know how to make. I could never get off this ship.
At best, I can step off my life. After all, I don't exist for anyone. You're an
exception,Max, you're the only one who knows I'm here. You're a minority,
and you better get used to it. Forgive me, my friend, but I’m not
getting off.
This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper ——T·S·Eliot
《钢琴家》The Pianist
导演:罗曼·波兰斯基Roman Polanski 主演:艾德林恩·布洛迪Adrien Brody 托马斯·克瑞士曼Thomas Kretschmann 艾米莉亚·福克斯Emilia Fox 国别:英国/法国/德国/波兰/荷兰 上映日期:2002年12月27日(北美部分地区) ◆2002年第55届戛纳电影节金棕榈大奖◆
剧情简介:
二战期间,一位天才的波兰犹太钢琴家,四处躲藏以免落入纳粹的魔爪。他在华沙的犹太区里饱受
着饥饿的折磨和各种羞辱,整日处在死亡的威胁下。他躲过了地毯式的搜查,藏身于城市的废墟中。
幸运的是他的音乐才华感动了一名德国军官,在军官的冒死保护下,钢琴家终于捱到了战争结束,
迎来了自由的曙光。
简评:
《钢琴师》在二战中华沙的废墟上徘徊了两个半小时,全是悲剧,没有喜剧。
罗曼·波兰斯基使用一种残酷的方式制造节奏。他先来一点悲惨的东西,跟着再展示一点恶劣
环境中的人性,然后再来点更惨的。比如先讲犹太区传言德国人要把没有工作卡的人送走,男主角
就满世界替家里人找工作卡,后来终于凑齐,但给他卡的德国人或者波兰人却说“这东西帮不了你
们”。果然,他们全家都被送到火车站,要运走。就在他要上开往灭绝集中营的火车时,一个犹奸
救了他,让他去找地方躲起来。
甚至直到结尾,波兰斯基也不肯温暖一下,我们看到主人公重新西装笔挺地坐在广播电台里弹琴,
然后跟着他的一个朋友去临时战俘营寻找那个最后救他一命的德国军官。这里来了压轴的一笔:他们
始终没有找到,直到德国人在五十年代死在了苏联的战俘营里后,人们才终于知道他的名字:威姆
·豪森菲德上尉。这短短一行字幕,却带出了二战结束后仍然无处不在的冷酷现实:各国各层政府官
僚接到报告却不努力寻找,苏军报复性地虐待德国俘虏。
在波兰斯基看来,我们这个世界,就是一个灭绝人性的地方,所谓人性,只是天知道什么时候灵
光一现,当不得真的。
