明日女优

Sadie在知晓Jane的秘密之后，亦然愿意与Jane一起前往巴黎，但是要求先去一趟亡夫的墓园，这次她让Jane代替她去献花，意在让Jane发现S亡夫旁边的墓碑——Sadie的女儿（1951-1969），她从来不曾向Jane提及她有一个十八岁就早逝的女儿。而Jane回过头向Sadie的方向望去，她亦明白了一切，老太太当初为什么那么抗拒难以靠近的原因。还有一幕就是当Jane寄放在Sadie家的狗走失后Sadie寻找时那种绝望与无助，以及将小狗归还给Jane时试图将她们撵出她的世界她的生活，她经历过丧夫丧女之痛，已经无法承受任何形式的失去了，不曾拥有就不会害怕失去，不是吗。最后的镜头给了太多让我们可以遐想的东西，她们之间已经建立了一种类似母女的感情，这种感情让Sadie原谅了Jane并重拾行李一起去巴黎，像每个父母原谅子女一样，而Jane也得到了无法从母亲那里得到的东西。

看不懂结局，就搜索了一下。

《AV女优和孤独寡妇的情感故事》，反正我一下就想到了这个标题，像是路边摊两三元一本的三俗小说的封面故事。但并非想说这片子也是这般。

片子总体上采用极为写实的叙事手法，配乐没有刻意拉动情绪，多数采用后摇般的清新曲调，情感与人物内心都在对话表情和语气中体现。跟随生动的人物形象，观众的思绪也由奔逸四散逐渐进入到影片当中。

来看看人物形象吧。

美丽的姑娘Jane，虽然从事AV行业，却意外地让人觉得单纯善良。
不约炮，不滥交。虽然张闭口都有"Fuck"，虽然有时和室友Melisa扒扒水烟飞飞叶子，终于是环境使然，美丽的心灵从不会被这些所掩盖。
她从老妇人Sadie那儿买来的二手水瓶中发现了一万大钞，并由此结识老妇人，和老妇人成为忘年交。
刚开始，我以为Jane只是因为老妇人有钱，接近她只为图财。渐渐地，我想也许是因为她拿了Sadie的钱而心中有愧，想靠帮助老人来获取良心安宁。无论开始是否心中有愧，我想后边一定是友谊使得Jane陪伴着老人。
接送老人去超市，带老人去动物园，和老人相互分享生活，让Sadie照顾Starlet，都具有亲人老友般的信任和关怀。
Jane不交男友，Sadie问她为何，她说自己的职业不适合有男朋友。即使她没有去找一个男友，就已经开始为对方考虑了，谁会期望自己的另一半是AV演员呢。

孤寡老人Sadie，孤独，念旧，渴望亲情和友情却怕再次失去。
老人喜欢有年头的事物，喜欢自己房子里乱糟糟、破烂的旧物品，喜欢门前长得张牙舞爪的老树，喜欢自己多年经营的花园，喜欢自己几十年来收集的关于巴黎的一切。
这些也许记载着自己逝去的生活与青春，也许让Sadie睹物思人，她的生活也就只剩下了回忆。没有新的事物，没有期待，没有未来。
直到Jane和Starlet的出现。
刚开始，像所有失去挚爱的老人一样，Sadie猜测着，怀疑着，躲避着，不接受Jane主动伸出的双手。最终还是被Jane的诚挚和不懈所感动。接纳了这段友谊。
Starlet走失时，Sadie十分惊慌失措、焦虑惶恐，虽然其中必然有对Starlet的担忧，但更多的是怕因此失去与Jane间的情谊。她无法再承受更多了，她不想又一次体验失去亲友的痛苦了。为此宁愿从未有过友谊。

一老一少两人差别许多，一个青春不再、孤苦伶仃，一个青春靓丽、阳光活泼，但他们的真实、善良却又是相同的。
没有花言巧语，没有做作的煽情，真情饱含在朴实的语言中，流露于两手相握的那一刻，那是一切尽在不言中的一刻，是无言而感人的一刻。

也许伸长脖子，挥起拳头，鼻涕眼泪一把抓，声嘶力竭地大喊："I care about you so mush! But you..."这样的表演会让观众能够很明白地理解导演想要表达什么，但来得还是虚假无力了。
而像《待绽蔷薇》这样平淡的演绎中，才真正让人对此真情有所感悟。

很喜欢这部片子和Dree 转载访谈，帮助理解片子台前幕后，没看错av场面果然是替身然后剪得真不错。好有趣的制作过程耶，原来去参加色情业展会是真的，使用隐藏拍摄，很多人以为女主就是pornstar然后各种~~ 哈哈，不过no judgement也是棒棒哒。dree也聊到很多关于自己家族的事情，喜欢她的低调单纯，而且做出了一部好片子，这是我看她的第一部，很偶然找到的。翻译就不做了，我觉得最直接的理解是看原文，给几个关键词，有兴趣的自己理解。
body double 替身；improvisational 即兴的；scatterbrained

The young actress talks to THR about her burgeoning acting career as well as how she copes with bearing the last name of one of the world's most famed writers.

正文
As much as she'd probably like to avoid it, the first line in Dree Hemingway's biography probably would note that she is the great-granddaughter of famed writer Ernest Hemingway and the daughter of actress Mariel Hemingway. But with a few more movies like Starlet, her first leading feature role, that just might change.

Hemingway, 25, plays Jane, a flighty, listless woman in her early 20s living in Los Angeles with her friend and the friend's boyfriend. She flits about through her days, smoking weed and shopping and taking her Chihuahua wherever she goes. She might seem like a low-rent Paris Hilton, but she has more depth than it appears at first glance.

Film Review: Starlet

When she buys a thermos for a dollar at a yard sale from an old woman, she finds $10,000 rolled up inside. After trying to return the thermos to the cantankerous octogenarian, who refuses, she decides to at least befriend the lonely widow, Sadie. This is easier said than done, though the two eventually form an odd relationship. It is one built partially on lies; Jane doesn't tell Sadie about the money, or the fact that she works as a porn actress -- something kept from the audience through much of the movie, as well.

THR recently spoke to Hemingway about the film and her famous bloodlines.

The Hollywood Reporter: What happened in your interview with director Sean Baker?

Dree Hemingway: I’m so passionate about this character, but a lot of it was how I perceived her and who I thought she was and to clarify if I’d do the porn scene. And really wanting to assure me that they’d use a body double and just wanting to make sure I’d be comfortable with the whole situation. And everything he was saying about the character was something I had thought of, and there were things that I wanted to bring, and it was really nice. And what really hooked it was the communication between us.

THR: So you weren’t uncomfortable with the porn thing?

Hemingway: I mean, it freaked me out, I’m not going to lie. I think I was so passionate about the whole story that it’s kind of something that it needed. It freaked me out, but also knowing that it wasn’t me was kind of OK for me -- although I’m not in denial that people are going to think it’s me because a lot of people don’t watch the end credits, and it’s really well cut. But as much as it scares me, and is such a scary thing to do, it’s such a neat film that I think that one ending scene is kind of the most perfect ending for any movie, and I just love it. … I’m not a huge fan of porn, but I really wanted to embrace the world from a different perspective, where it’s not a tragedy, it’s not coming from a tragic place.

THR: How much of the film was improv?

Hemingway: Most of it was improvisational, to be honest. It was like, we were given some lines, and you always had to know where you were going to end up in the scene, but a lot of it was improvisational. A lot of it was scary in a way that you can’t really craft. But it’s actually one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. You really have to be present in the situation that you’re in because a lot of time you were working with real people, who didn’t know until they were done working with us that they were on film and working with actors.

THR: Which points were that?

Hemingway: The whole entire porn convention. We had a hidden camera. I had a hidden mic. People thought I was a real porn star at a real booth. All those people talking to me.

THR: So they were just big porn enthusiasts.

Hemingway: They all kept coming up to me and saying: “I really love your movies. I want to work with you.” And I was like, 'Let’s go!' It’s so weird and crazy. And all those people playing bingo, we just stood in the bingo hall.

THR: Was anyone upset about being caught on camera?

Hemingway: A lot of people at the porn convention were really upset that they were on camera. Some of them were like parents, and some of these guys were like, “I’m a schoolteacher.” And you’re like, OK. … But the thing is, there is no judgment on them because they are just the ones that have the balls to get their asses off the computer and go to an actual porn convention. Which I have to say is kind of hilarious and really fun.

THR: Really?

Hemingway: Yeah. It’s an adult amusement park.

THR: It’s like a Comic-Con but for porn.

Hemingway: Exactly! It’s just like Comic-Con. You get some whacked, crazy people, but it’s so much fun. I think if you come to it from a point of not taking it seriously -- a lot of these people go, and they’re there to see one porn star whom they’re obsessed with -- but if that’s not your basis, it is a fun time. It’s hilarious.

THR: What would you do if you found that money, in that situation?

Hemingway: Oh, I’m such a guilty person, I’d totally give it back.

THR: No hesitation?

Hemingway: I mean obviously, I think that part of me would want to keep it in a way because it’d be like, oh I found it, and it’s -- what is that saying? Finder's keepers? But no, even if I’d try to do that, I’m too guilty. I remember when I was 14, I stole a little bracelet from a vendor, like an outside cart vendor, it was me being rebellious, and I had a lot of friends who loved to steal ChapSticks and little things, and so it was me trying to include myself in the situation. So I stole this bracelet. And I had it for a full day, but I couldn’t wear it because I felt so guilty. So when I wasn’t with my friends, I went and brought it back.

THR: So you are Ernest Hemingway’s great-granddaughter? Did you ever feel pressure to be a writer?

Hemingway: I would never write, ever. I might as well exile myself.

THR: Why?

Hemingway: Because it’s like, if I were related to Monet, I don’t know if I would be comfortable becoming an artist because it’s too much, the comparison. If I wrote a book and put it out, the comparison to my great-grandfather, the comparison would be hilarious. Every critic, it would be their dream, they’d tear me apart. I’m just not a confident writer, either. I feel like I can’t make sense of things in a way. I’m so scatterbrained when I write.

THR: Do people ask you to?

Hemingway: People ask me all the time. And my mother is an actress, and my aunt Margaux was a model. And it’s funny, as much as I’m all about I’m my own person, and I’m making my own name for myself, I have grown up in a world where most of these people who are like me are children of famous parents. So it’s easy to become the socialite and be famous for that. But my whole thing was, as much as I was inspired by what my parents do, and growing up on film sets, watching that made me really want to do that. I am my own person, and I think that the only thing with the Hemingway name is that it has gotten me in the door. But once you’re in there, I know I’m under a huge microscope, and everything you do, people are going through it with a fine-toothed comb and picking at you.

So it’s great, it gets you in there, but once you do, you’ve got to f---ing prove yourself. The modeling, I think it’s different because they don’t give a f---, it’s harder to get in there with a name already, and I think I had to prove myself, and it didn’t matter who I was. But I don’t feel like I’m competing against anything in my family; I’m so honored to be a part of it, but I also know I am my own self, and I’m not riding anyone’s coattails because I know I really worked for something.

一个老妪和一个女青年的人生，在命运的奇妙安排下产生了交集，在艰难崎岖的沟通过程中，实现了各自的成全。

她（Sadie）是个独居的老妇，个性顽固，没有朋友，过着枯燥简单重复的生活。习惯性的三餐，购物，娱乐活动也只是每周六去玩简单的赌博游戏bingo。

她（Jane）是个生活拮据而又做着明星梦的女青年，有一个吸毒成瘾的妈妈。她和朋友，朋友的男友合住在一间公寓里，想要改造一下卧室却没钱买新家具，只能去淘一些旧货。在Sadie卖出的旧暖水瓶里，她发现了一万块，她不安又兴奋，瞒着朋友偷偷地把钱藏好，去做了指甲（吐槽一下美帝人工费真惊人，做个指甲460刀），给狗狗买了漂亮的配饰。她旁敲侧击的咨询她的朋友，如果遇到这种事要怎么做。朋友的看法是，确认这笔钱对失主是不是非常重要。她特意去接近Sadie，故意打发走等待Sadie的计程车，然后邀请Sadie“搭顺风车”，她跑到她周六玩bingo的地点玩只有老年人才热衷的无聊游戏。结果被Sadie当做是骗子，惨遭防狼喷雾的蹂躏。从警察那得知她只是“出于好心”后，Sadie逐渐打开了心门，接受了她接送超市的便车。通过交谈得知，Sadie的赌徒丈夫去世了，也没有儿女，暖水瓶里的钱应该是赌徒丈夫之前藏匿其中的，但老妇并不知情。通过一段时间的接触，两个人逐渐产生了信任与微妙的感情。Jane更加了解了Sadie的过去，她甚至带Sadie去公墓祭奠亡夫，去Sadie第一次和丈夫见面的动物园。而Sadie依然固执，敏感，从她注销了驾照和对其他老人驾车闯祸的描述，可以看出她对于余生并无希冀，早已认输服老。在一次Jane被超市保安因停车问题驱赶后，购物回来的Sadie没有等到Jane，以为Jane抛下了她，想要走回家里。当时她的心里，一定是充满了伤感，以为她的人生又一次的枯萎了，如同她布满皱纹的脸庞，刚刚建立的存在感被消除殆尽。Jane驱车追上了她，说道“你真的以为我会抛下你吗？”也许是她感受到了Sadie心里的变化，Jane握住了Sadie枯瘦的手，Sadie的心里，一定非常的温暖。

Jane的合租朋友因为工资问题和老板大吵，让Jane过去帮忙理论。通过这个机会，Jane的朋友认识了同车的Sadie，Jane和朋友的工作也在随后暴露大吉，原来Jane和合租朋友都是成人片的女主，这会儿有一段露骨的拍摄过程。虽然不露也能交代清楚，但直接的视觉刺激应该会让观众更加震撼，这份工作既解释了为什么Jane会有那么多空余时间，又形成了一个强大的心理落差，毕竟这是一个敏感的工作，两个完全完全不同世界的人，互相信任是多么多么的不易！之前有个小小的伏笔，Jane和Sadie一起吃冰淇淋的时候，有两个男人隔着透明玻璃墙认出了她，她还做出了香艳的舔吸动作挑逗那两个男人。对于她们的工作室，Jane对Sadie的解释是，“你可以理解为一个临时中介。”

Jane因为工作的原因（参加成人展），没时间照顾狗狗，她把狗狗托付给Sadie。不听话的狗狗走失了，Sadie急的要发疯了，她不能辜负Jane的信任，她四处打听询问，终于在Jane回来前找到了狗狗。但她的心和身体都疲惫不堪，她无法承受这一切，她宁愿回复到以前平淡无味，回到对年老的无可奈何与认输的生活，她无法承受任何失去了。她呵斥Jane离开，Jane一头雾水却无可奈何。想到Sadie曾对她说，她对巴黎有独特的情怀却从来没有去过，Jane用那笔“不义之财”的大部分预定了去巴黎的机票，冲到Sadie玩bingo的场所，极力邀请。Sadie拒绝了，如同她过去的bingo游戏经历，她一直输，她认输了，如同对待生活。但Jane没有放弃，她要和Sadie打一个赌，如果她能在这局bingo中赢的话，Sadie就要和她同去巴黎。Jane购买了所有的表格，理论来说，只要她够快，就可以bingo。没想到先bingo的却是Sadie。Sadie开心地大叫，仿佛这一次胜利驱散了过去阴霾和失败的人生。尽管Jane没有赢得赌局，Sadie却同意了去巴黎的邀请，这应该是Jane的真诚与热情，感动鼓舞了她吧。

剧情再度转折，Jane的朋友发现了这笔意外之财，她认为Jane应该与她，这个最好的朋友分享。但Jane却要和她口中的老婊子同去巴黎，愤怒的她找到Sadie，告诉她，Jane之所以对你好是因为她通过你不知道的方式得到了你的钱，对你有愧疚感。Sadie的表情并不强烈，她只是把本来和Jane一起挑选的，要去巴黎穿的衣服拿出来，丢到衣柜里，但她内心的情感变化，想必非常剧烈。就如同上次在超市门口没有等到Jane一 样，她感到自己再一次被抛弃了，这次更加彻底，痛苦。看到这里我就在猜编剧会怎么安排，Sadie是会消失？痛斥Jane？他选择了理解与原谅。

来接Sadie去机场的Jane也发现了她的不寻常，虽然Jane还不知道发生了什么，她几次询问Sadie是否ok，Sadie只是让拜托Jane去公墓给逝去的老公送花。这一次，Sadie没有亲自前往，而是借口你更快一些，委托Jane过去。这里，Jane在墓碑上发现，Sadie曾经有一个夭折的女儿，影片在此结束。

整个片子节奏平缓，但几处情感的波折都能打动人心，不同世界的两个人如何褪去坚硬的保护外壳，逐渐走进对方内心，互相理解，互相取暖。缺失母爱的Jane生活拮据但充满了梦想，她善良，热爱自己的工作，幻想着某一天能成为明星，她从Sadie处找到了家人的感觉，重新找到一个女儿的身份。在千篇一律的乏味生活中等待死亡的Sadie则在Jane这里重新建立了与其他人的联系与存在感，唤起了生活的热情与希望，点燃了久已熄灭的梦想，也像一个母亲。也许她们都想对对方说一 句，谢谢你的成全。
