长篇影评
1 ) SPACE-DYE VEST
DT-1994-AWAKE最后一首SPACE-DYE VEST里巨经典的British Accent的旁白啊,原来就出自这片子.我要看,我要看!原谅我还没有看就噶激动.
[Sample is Julian Sands from the film "A Room With A View".]
"But he's the sort who can't knowanyone intimately,
least of all a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is.
He wants you for a possession,
something to look at like a painting or an ivory box.
Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real,
or to think or to live. He doesn't love you, but I love you.
I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and
feelings, even when
I hold you in my arms. It's our last chance... It's our
last chance..."

WELL THE WHOLE LYRICS IS AS FOLLOWS,J...UST FOR REFERENCE.

Space-Dye Vest
Falling through pages of Martens on angels
Feeling my heart pull west
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
love in a space-dye vest
Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding
a pool in the shape of a heart
Beauty projection in the reflection
Always the worst way to start
[Sample is Julian Sands from the film "A Room With A View".]
"But he's the sort who can't know
anyone intimately, least of all a
woman. He doesn't know what a woman
is. He wants you for a possession,
something to look at like a painting or an ivory box.
Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real,
or to think or to live. He doesn't love you, but I love you.
I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and
feelings, even when
I hold you in my arms. It's our last chance... It's our
last chance..."
Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it
Learning to swallow the rage
Found a new girl I think we can make it
as long as she stays on the page
This is not how I want it to end
And I'll never be open again
[Sample from "The Trouble With Evan", from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate".]
"...I was gonna move out...ummm...get,
get a job, get my own place, ummm,
but... I go into the mall where I
want to work and they tell me, I'm,
I was too young..."
[Sample is Jim Hill from a news commentary about the OJ Simpson freeway chase.]
"Some people, gave advice before,
about facing the facts, about
facing reality. And this is, this
without a doubt, is his biggest
challenge ever. He's going to have to face it.
You're gonna have to try, he's gonna to have to try and,
uh, and, and, and get some help here. I mean no one can
say they know how he feels."
[Sample from the Conan O'Brien show.]
"That, so they say that, in ya know
like, Houston or something, you'd
say it's a hundred and eighty degrees,
but it's a dry heat.
In Houston they say that?
Oh, maybe not. I'm all mixed up.
Dry until they hit the swimming pool."
[Sample from "The Trouble With Evan", from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate".]
"...I get up with the sun... Listen.
You have your own room to sleep in,
I don't care what you do. I don't
care when. That door gets locked,
that door gets locked at night by nine o'clock.
If you're not in this house by nine o'clock, then you'd
better find some
place to sleep. Because you're not going to be a bum in
this house.
Supper is ready..."
There's no one to take my blame
if they wanted to
There's nothing to keep me sane
and it's all the same to you
There's nowhere to set my aim
so I'm everywhere
Never come near me again
do you really think I need you
I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.
I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.
And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend
And I'll never be open again
And I'll have no more dreams to defend
And I'll never be open again
2 ) 从人物本身到电影技巧都明朗清晰
喜欢这部电影的几个原因:
1. 首先不用说了,它的主旨就是我的菜,对自己诚实,尊重真实的内心感受,用自己的脑子和心真诚地生活。
2. 佩服女主角的果断和勇气。发现自己不喜欢西索以后,干净利落的了断。没有过多的挣扎纠结和患得患失。没有被歉疚和遗憾等次要情绪影响分手的决定,思路清晰。这一点即使是现在的人,也不见得能很容易做到。这也说明女主在内心深处也许其实是相当自信的。同样,这一点即使是现在的人,也不见得能很容易地做到。自信真的是滋养健康的心态和生活态度最有力的源泉啊。
3. 几个人物的性格设定和故事情节发展都合情合理,不胡编乱造,不走极端。虽说戏剧一般都会夸张和“有戏剧性”, 但我觉得大多时候,正是那些不极端的个性使得人物丰满真实,更接近现实生活中的你我,正是不会斗转的剧情使得人物的喜乐我们更能感同身受,故事更耐回味,电影作品本身更真诚。 比如:
西索,他没有被塑造成一个大反派,至少他绅士,尊重女性,爱音乐爱阅读,这些都是还挺可爱的特点。
表姐夏洛特,虽然保守老土,但善良,真心待人,关键时刻甚至还违背自己从小到大固有的作风,帮了表妹,虽然整个过程中你分明看得到她纠结,不确定,不自在。而正是这些纠结疑惑,使得她的支持成为人性的闪光点,无上珍宝,弥足珍贵,也为故事更具张力贡献了一份力量。
妈妈,开明开朗。虽然很喜欢西索这个准女婿,但发现西索对自己很欣赏的自家“打油诗”风格的音乐不以为然后,能即使明确强烈地表达自己的不满,而不是爱屋及乌,不生活在思想的框架里。
不是谁都能像男主父亲,男主,女主弟弟那样生来就站在“对的” 人生观世界观里的。 纠结和疑惑才是我们大多数不具有圣人的大智慧的平凡人在遇到世俗传统和内心感受的冲突、理想与现实的冲突时的常态。
3 ) 比较特别的是。。。
电影用了原作小说中的小标题,一段一段隔开叙述,很别致。
中央台播的时候截去了三个男人洗澡的一段,哦这是噱头~
还有,那时年轻,受本片影响上体育课时经常想爬到树上喊“自然!爱情!”
很喜欢弟弟fredie,如果这么拼的话。。。
4 ) 完美的风景
乔治的老父亲任性地大声说话,延续了新闻记者这个职业的特点,热心,真诚,自己不想要的东西很乐意赠给别人不需要汇报。当他得知因为乔治而导致了露西一家的混乱时,他说这一切都是我的错。
“都是我教乔治要相信爱情……”他说这话时丝毫没有抱歉之感,即便造成混乱局面,艾默生先生对自己的教导甚是自豪。
当露西欺骗了母亲玛丽,欺骗了弟弟费雷德,欺骗了姨妈夏洛蒂,欺骗了未婚夫Cencil,也欺骗了自己之后,她没办法欺骗这个老人。在真诚面前,礼俗社会所要求的种种的伪装被轻易撕下,露西哭了。
朱利安山德斯的乔治有一股慧气,是那种既经过艺术熏陶又扎根自然的那种慧气,能在社会中举止优雅,同时暗含着野外的自在性情。
露西也是这样一个姑娘,平时举止娴静,却在弹奏贝多芬之时将本性表露无疑。然而在当时的社会风气之中,露西却能在真情面前调头,与Cencil此等矫揉造作之人挽手,对身边的人说谎,这是她的软肋,也是当时的英国社会文化的软肋。
这两个本质相通,却又有着隔膜的人从一开始便注定有故事发生。从乔治父子决定让出有风景的房间开始,便预示了故事的结局。
这故事不疾不徐、慢吞吞,然而扎扎实实在前进着。有时让你摸不着头脑,让你等着有些焦急,却冷不丁来个惊喜。这是需要耐心的故事。
这样的故事自有其独特魅力,尤其还关于爱情。疾风骤雨、生离死别是故事,但不是爱情。在疾速变化中中,的确能看到爱情的光亮,然而爱情,或者说一切感情,尤其属于每日的点点滴滴。这是细水长流的意味。
房间和风景,本是两个对立的概念,房间本身便是对风景的限制,风景,自然是自由而不羁的。就像人和人之间的感情。本是独立个体,却需要亲密无间,这何等困难。
这需要智慧和勇气。智慧让你掌握房间和风景之间的分寸,勇气让你不要欺骗自己和对方。
乔治曾躺在露西家的花园中,说“只有一种景色是完美的——那就是我们头顶上的天空。”
当然,爱人们头顶的天空完美再加一分。
5 ) 意大利的爱
开头有些无趣,为了佛罗伦萨的美景继续看下去,后来有了些味道。电影中,英国人的做作和意大利人的开放形成了鲜明的对比,无论是乔治和露西的爱情,还是西索的风流韵事小说,意大利在英国人心中已然是隐秘艳情的滋长之地。
两情相悦的爱情,生命的活力,始终诱惑着年轻的露西。她欺骗了姐姐,欺骗了母亲,甚至欺骗自己所爱,不断劝自己走进尘世的枷锁。终于,她还是选择了勇敢,离开死板的伦敦,封锁退路,直面自己的感情。
影片的最后一个场景中,露西和乔治回到了他们相识的佛罗伦萨,在看得见风景的房间中尽情拥吻,多么美好的场面。
很喜欢电影中的一句台词:在意大利,有些东西本身就代表着情调。
