渔王

疫情后第一次进电影院就是这次上影节了，来得有点晚。

圣杯、红骑士，诡谲幻境mix现实困境，恐怖荒诞又饱含深情，绝的是笑点也对味儿。

91年的这部电影的疯狂大胆放在今天也是少见的。

这部电影的底色是沉重的、悲剧的、现实的，但混入了荒诞而又充满幻想的情节后，并没有淡化这种现实悲剧感，更像是没有中和咖啡苦味的糖，让这杯饮品更有风味了。

这部也是喜剧，笑点也是我喜欢的，浓郁的色调带着上世纪的浪漫，中餐厅和街头的畅怀大笑场景，还有车站变身交谊舞会现场时爱情的浪漫与寻觅，都是我的爱。

这部电影也是鸡汤的，抚慰人心，安慰着被伤害过的人，虽然荒诞，但所含的感情又那样真实。

“海王”话题当道的当下，在上海电影节看了一场叫《渔王》的电影。

选这部，一来是被简介吸引，关于双男主彼此影响和救赎的故事，一般都好嗑。二来是因为大光明的位子够多，还能买到票。

疫情期间的观影体验很特别，严格的入场程序，三分之一的人数控制，配上消毒到近乎无菌的环境和硬件，让往常亲民的大众艺术显得有点高冷。诺大的场子里，大家分散而坐，完全猜不出与TA同来的朋友是在左边还是右边，前边还是后边。彼此相隔太远，没法交头接耳，又都不屑大吼大叫，于是人人安静，专注荧幕。

故事开场，男主A杰克正开麦BB，作为知名互动类节目电台主播的他，高调地指点评议着听众的人生轨迹，居高临下，自信潇洒。整个场景以他BB中的嘴巴剪影大特写结束，干脆利落，人物性格在1分钟内被立住，精彩。

在事业中旋转跳跃的杰克接了个电话，笑容定格，人生遭遇转折。因他在节目里的某句评议，引发了一起严重的枪击事件，造成多人死亡。良心很痛，杰克辞职沉沦，不再梳马尾。但良心还是很痛，于是在一日酒后，他打算沉入河底赎罪，不曾想，硬是被人从河堤上拉了回来，转而又被浇上汽油，虽然殊途同归，但过程也是很重要的，于是杰克哇哇大叫，在遭点火前被男主B帕里救下。又是短短2分钟，导演让杰克明白了自己有多么热爱生命，他需要找到其他救赎自我的方法，人物后续行事动机成立，既抓马又扎实。

男主B帕里的奇想世界是影片的绝对亮点。他在患上PTSD之前是一位学富五车的教授，因在枪击案中目睹爱人受害惨状，产生了应激幻想，冷不丁会看到红衣骑士幻影，然后在惊恐中暴走街头，过上了流浪汉般的生活。但教授始终是教授，他脑海中保留了迤逦浪漫的想象和灵光乍现的哲思。一场中央车站的群像华尔兹和一席中央公园的草坪裸聊，展现了他美妙的人物性格。

片中的两位女性角色蛮有意思，但经不起推敲。时代感、标签感都有点重，表演又夸张过了头，可能在那个年代，这样的女性形象就是真实又讨喜的了吧？但在影片叙事中，她们完全是工具人，主要负责串联起双男主之间的主线故事，另外兼任笑点担当。她们有性格有态度，却对故事的展开没有起到任何作用。

It begins with the king as a boy, having to spend the night alone in the forest to prove his courage so he can become king. Now while he is spending the night alone he's visited by a sacred vision. Out of the fire appears the holy grail, symbol of God's divine grace. And a voice said to the boy, "You shall be keeper of the grail so that it may heal the hearts of men." But the boy was blinded by greater visions of a life filled with power and glory and beauty. And in this state of radical amazement he felt for a brief moment not like a boy, but invincible, like God, so he reached into the fire to take the grail, and the grail vanished, leaving him with his hand in the fire to be terribly wounded. Now as this boy grew older, his wound grew deeper. Until one day, life for him lost its reason. He had no faith in any man, not even himself. He couldn't love or feel loved. He was sick with experience. He began to die. One day a fool wandered into the castle and found the king alone. And being a fool, he was simple minded, he didn't see a king. He only saw a man alone and in pain. And he asked the king, "What ails you friend?" The king replied, "I'm thirsty. I need some water to cool my throat". So the fool took a cup from beside his bed, filled it with water and handed it to the king. As the king began to drink, he realized his wound was healed. He looked in his hands and there was the holy grail, that which he sought all of his life. And he turned to the fool and said with amazement, "How can you find that which my brightest and bravest could not?" And the fool replied, "I don't know. I only knew that you were thirsty."
