为什么不拍摄续集,庞昱,五鼠闹东京,等等等等,可惜,这是小戏骨唯一可以连续拍摄续集的剧集,也是反响最好的剧集之一,这一部没有推广,甚至有意压制,但是还是得到这么好的成绩,实属难得。如果不拍摄续集将是你们最大的损失,这样的效果可能不是随随便便可以出来的,真心希望看到包青天系列,这部系列如果拍出来一定会成为小戏骨最为成功的作品。

如果非要归个类的话,这部《地下诊所》属于喜剧惊悚片。Comedy thriller,或Comic thriller。是一种交叉类型,从喜剧和惊悚两个题材中吸取主题。相对于其他类型的幽默,喜剧惊悚有着更灰暗的色调。就像常规惊悚片一样,喜剧惊悚片通常涉及有组织犯罪或间谍活动。

如果非要归个类的话,这部《地下诊所》属于喜剧惊悚片。Comedy thriller,或Comic thriller。是一种交叉类型,从喜剧和惊悚两个题材中吸取主题。相对于其他类型的幽默,喜剧惊悚有着更灰暗的色调。就像常规惊悚片一样,喜剧惊悚片通常涉及有组织犯罪或间谍活动。
更直观的印象:目前在喜剧惊悚类排名第一的电影是《低俗小说》,这个不用说了,爱电影的人必看之项目。还有我比较喜欢的电影《迷中迷》(Charade)也属于这个类别,当年奥黛丽-赫本和加里-格兰特主演,看过后惊为天人。
这部《地下诊所》在上述喜剧惊悚的基础上,又加入了医疗元素。观看时有时忍俊不禁,而且英式冷幽默都是不动声色的,全靠眼神和语气。而有时又为他们担心,比如第三集这个脸部受伤的爱尔兰人,治疗后试图打劫地下诊所。
顺便介绍个爱尔兰人的特征:他们不发“啊”这个音,比如本集中这个人在说Fuck时,发音是fook;其他的,如but,他们说成boot;son 或sun,会说成soon,等等。各位看官看剧时不妨留意。2015年曾和一帮来自都柏林的爱尔兰人一起度过夏天,那时发现的。
令人担心的,还有Jamie这条故事线那两个穷凶极恶的人。女的是抢劫头子塞巴斯蒂安的不知道什么人,雇用了男的,对Jamie的好朋友们严刑逼供,想要得知Jamie的下落。第四集末尾终于找到了Lee的门上,Lee把Jamie的女朋友供了出去(大概?反正线索是给了“她”,和工作地点)。这两个恶人,一黑一白,特别像《低俗小说》里塞缪尔-杰克逊和约翰-屈伏塔的那两个杀手,也是一黑一白。
在三条故事线中,Jamie这条线是顺叙的方式,从一开始跑偏了的抢劫案,到现在Jamie在地下诊所里,一边与好朋友在一起,一边悄悄地思念女朋友。
而丹尼尔的故事线用了大量的闪回,把他和妻子,他和安娜的婚外情,他和Lee是如何开始合作几件事情交待得一清二楚。在海边小船这一段,多像《无人生还》。
出现在丹尼尔故事线中的Lee是闪回的。其他基本按时间顺序,东一下西一下的,观众对他的情况也基本掌握。Lee在本剧里是喜剧部份的主要担当,他那无辜的小眼神,见血就晕的个人体质,在与丹尼尔的合作中他是外行(类似《绝命毒师》里的Pinkman),他对Jamie的友情——对丹尼尔说,“什么时候你的朋友离开,我的朋友才离开”。几乎每次开口都能让人发笑。
总之蛮喜欢这剧。
看很多剧或电影的豆瓣短评,发现当下年轻人的焦躁,一不合意便大骂垃圾。缺乏耐心是原因之一,看过的东西少、不够Open-minded也是重要原因。不过,骂垃圾的这些人,还是比什么都不看的那些人强许多的。
电影《杰罗德游戏》由斯蒂芬·金的同名小说改编,因此被划入了恐怖片类型。它拥有着极为诱人的故事梗概:一对夫妻来到郊外的大别墅度假,丈夫决定在这里进行一次畅快淋漓的性爱游戏。结果因为事前服用了过量的伟哥导致心脏病发,当场死掉。而此刻,妻子双手被牢牢地拷在两侧床柱上,无法动弹。她只能眼睁睁地看着从外面闯进来的黑狗将丈夫的尸体撕咬吞食……看到这个故事梗概,我已经按捺不住强烈的好奇心:接下来发生了什么
电影《杰罗德游戏》由斯蒂芬·金的同名小说改编,因此被划入了恐怖片类型。它拥有着极为诱人的故事梗概:一对夫妻来到郊外的大别墅度假,丈夫决定在这里进行一次畅快淋漓的性爱游戏。结果因为事前服用了过量的伟哥导致心脏病发,当场死掉。而此刻,妻子双手被牢牢地拷在两侧床柱上,无法动弹。她只能眼睁睁地看着从外面闯进来的黑狗将丈夫的尸体撕咬吞食……看到这个故事梗概,我已经按捺不住强烈的好奇心:接下来发生了什么?妻子如何自救?野狗会不会吃完丈夫跑来吃她?按照斯蒂芬·金小说的套路,她最后必定可以逃出来,即使想到这样的结局,依然非常渴望看到影片。但是,观影结束后,我陷入了长久的怨愤——这么好的故事,居然拍成这个样子!继《人类清除计划》之后,它是第二个让我怒其不争的电影。影片塑造了一个观众在恐怖片中最怕看到的角色——十足的蠢货,她软弱,拖沓,精神脆弱,非常容易陷入疯癫。它不是一个绝地求生的影片,女主角花了大量时间徒劳地呼救,继而陷入幻觉,在即将渴死的边缘,才恢复理智,想了个并不聪明的办法挣脱了手铐,逃了出去。事实上,在电影的开始,这个女主角的出现就很不讨喜。她在路边看到啃食动物尸体的大型黑狗,善心泛滥。到了郊外的别墅后,第一件事是从冰箱里翻出一整块神户牛排,切给黑狗吃。被丈夫提醒“这一块牛排要200美金“时,马上变成惊慌失措的小兔子:”对不起,我不知道这是神户牛排!“这一圣母的举动被丈夫夸奖:”这才是我娶的女人,这么善良。“镜头里,那块牛排纹理清晰,柔韧绵密,就算不知道是神户牛排,也能看出来是块上好的肉!居然就这样厚切四大块,生喂了野狗。这种愚蠢的善良在我看来无异于恶心人——你不能说她坏,毕竟她是在喂饱动物的肚子,但你也夸不出来,因为她实在是太蠢了!喂了生肉后,黑狗便记住了带血肉块的味道,之后的遁味而来,可以说都是女主在开头犯蠢引发的后果。看到女主角这么蠢,还能被丈夫夸,观众很容易把他们想成新婚夫妇。男的非常老相,女的虽不年轻但很妩媚,或许是男人的二婚美艳妻子,所以受宠。男人在准备活动时还要吃伟哥,真是委屈了这么漂亮的女人……可是,很快我们就发现,事情并没有这么浪漫。女主被拷在了两侧床柱上,为了追求真实感,用的也不是情趣手铐,而是“真正的玩意儿“。试验了手铐的牢固程度后,男人展开了一场颇为尴尬的前戏——为了找到刺激感,男人玩的是性侵的戏码,一边循循善诱,一边让妻子叫他”爸爸“。在亲密生活中,这种戏剧化的模式并不会引起庄重的反感,因为人在性爱中或多或少,都有一些怪癖。在日常生活中,人们会把这些古怪压抑下去。对自己的伴侣表现出来,并且是在提前商量好的前提下,也仅仅是一种情趣。可就在男主渐渐进入状态时,女主忽然翻脸,勒令遏止这种游戏,观众和丈夫都非常扫兴。先是喂野狗顶级牛排,然后说话不算话——来这个周围荒无人烟的别墅就是为了玩个尽兴,你还忽然不答应,真是个讨厌的女人呐!气愤加上服用过量伟哥的缘故,男主气死了。并且女主再一次发挥愚蠢的天赋,让男主的尸体掉在了地上,摔破了头,鲜血的气味引来了刚才的野狗。一切都发生的非常突然,我们愚蠢的女主角先是彰显智力地在这个没有人的郊外大声呼救,徒劳地啼哭。而后便陷入了漫长的幻觉中,这场幻觉加回忆,贯穿了影片2/3的长度。这,才是影片真正开始的时候。因为过度恐惧,女主角臆想出了丈夫和一个理性自我的分身,三人絮絮叨叨地对话解开了女主婚姻的真相,他们漫长的婚姻极不幸福,男人在此之前已经许久没有与她进行过房事。对于丈夫需要用伟哥维持体面,女主很早就知道,但却视而不见。对于丈夫持久而来的,对于女性的轻视(称女性为“维持阴道生命的系统“),她也装作不知道。这一切造就了如今貌合神离的婚姻。幻觉过后,女主又陷入了回忆中。非常具有斯蒂芬·金风格的是女主之所以选择在婚姻生活中一再沉默,是因为原生家庭的关系。她曾被父亲性侵,并被威逼保守秘密。她极力去淡忘这件事,自以为已经放下,实则却深入到了日后所有的生活。她的母亲对丈夫与女儿的事情心知肚明,却为了保持婚姻的平衡隐忍下去,女主具有与母亲相同的性格特征,也因为性侵这件事,导致她在一开始无法接受丈夫另类的性爱游戏。幻觉与回忆都完毕后,女主从昏沉中清醒过来,惊觉屋内有脚印,幡然醒悟应该干正事赶紧走要紧,不要再瞎想了!于是,她灵机一动,找到了一种非常贴合人物智力的方法——割腕。用鲜血当润滑剂挣脱了手铐,然后因为失血和饥饿,眩晕地开车逃离了这里。影片漏洞非常多,但似乎都可以用“因为女主角是个笨蛋“来解释通。它忽视了人在极端状态下的求胜欲,完美地塑造了一个彻头彻尾的软蛋。抛开漏洞,令人气愤的实则是影片的安排,它倒是颇为贴切地还原了斯蒂芬·金罗里吧嗦的写作风格,但还原到电影里,这种节奏非常乏味。作为恐怖片,它仅仅在女主看到黑狗吃丈夫的时候做到了一些,之后,便是漫长的心理学探索;但是,作为心理类型电影,它的深度又完全不够,女孩被性侵后的生活被彻底颠覆的状态没有呈现出来。父亲的形象倒塌,母亲是无法依靠的人——这种状况下,一个少女的生活会变成什么样子?仅仅是哭哭啼啼地向父亲保证“不会对任何人说出去”?看样子,导演想要制造一种心理恐怖片类型,可遗憾的是,这种哪方面都沾了一点,但什么都没做好的片子,最终还是被烦人的女主角彻底搞砸了。公众号:读开花儿(readinginbloom)

郑佩佩这脸看着真有点恐怖的,让人不寒而栗,还有两个人也是一站出来就有这种效果,一是罗兰,一是惠英红。
拍摄的地点我觉得像是开平的碉楼。
陈法蓉演得很一般。梅婷那张脸适合演本片,再把冯远征找来,就“完美”了。
恐怖片是有市场的,好故事,好制作,票房的天花板绝对不只是《京城81号》,想《哪吒》没横空出世时,专家们都将动画片的天花板定在20亿以下。恐怖片的内地票房未来5年内有可能出现破10亿的片子,当然还是得回到故事、制作上。

这是一部讲述我中国电信员工在非洲参与竞标电信项目,而与西方电信巨头竞争、遭恶意破坏、善意大发拯救国家以及舍身维护通信隐私安全的超级平民英雄。 这故事有很强的现实背景。目前,我们在非洲经商做生意拿项目的公司越来越多。相比欧美等发达国家的成熟又饱和市场,非洲更具潜力与活力,百废待兴,急需投入建设。而我们在通信领域已经可以与欧美等电信技术公司巨头相抗衡,最突出的就是效率与价格,当然质量也很好。加之,国家对非洲长期以来就是实行援助,广大第三世界就是我们的伙伴和朋友,中国日益增长的国力和影响力,也帮助了很多非洲落后国家发展经济,改善民生。所以中国国旗在非洲可以当作通行证的情节具有一定合理性。 剧中给我印象很深的有:一是那个法国女人即援助的电信专家,开始时对中国人的轻视与固有的态度,明显代表着,所谓的西方精英眼中,中国还是一个技术落后、人们素质低下的国家印象,即使他们表面似乎很友好,但是一旦和他们有一丝一毫的利益冲突,或者稍微惹其不高兴,他们真实的嘴脸就会不留情面地挂出来,就像古代贵族对待平民一样。为此,主人公本着乐于助人、甘于奉献的精神,保护女主,关键时刻冒着生命危险去抢救电塔,有勇有谋地竖起中国国旗帮助车队通过,这么复杂而又艰险的努力之后,法国女人才改变其看法,转为钦佩与爱慕。西方似乎就是信奉这样一套价值体系,你比我牛逼,能给我带来好处,具体手段方法别让我知道是多么的坏,那我就服你,其他的不追究。但是若想让其看得起一个其印象中很差的人,那得付出感情,站在正义的一面,赢得他们的虚荣的青睐,辅之以利益。 我们的崛起势必会动西方国家的奶酪,况且东西方文化体系完全不同,我们国家在历史上曾经那么强大发达,近代史上饱受西方欺辱,他们担心我们崛起后将破坏长期以来由他们主导的世界,甚至会报复他们历史上的各类侵辱。而现实中,西方已经在和我们的竞争中意识到我们的实力在不断增强,再也不是以前小case就能对付的了的,随之而来的是利益的均分。他们不满,所以会想尽办法,象对待敌人一样,对待我们,使用与文明相违背,为了利益无所不用其极,宁愿残忍与暴力,把我们当作侵入其文化的敌人,进行破坏活动。我们得慢慢让其适应,我们是与其旗鼓相当的对手和朋友,平起平坐,公平竞争,共同发展,这其中可需要大智慧才能打破固有的思维上的隔阂,并必定会伴有冲撞和摩擦。
20号就到五棵松成龙影院看了,拖到今天才发声。
制作提升、态度认真,但剧作里存在太多的问题。武侠功夫片是百年中国电影难得的成功类型片之一(之二是与大时代结合的家庭伦理片),要继承其优点,那就是情怀,是主人公表现出来的嫉恶如仇、忧国忧民、真情侠义之情怀。把历史片可容纳的内容与思辨强行放到这里来,搞不好就不是创新,而成为灾难。

16岁时看了阿拉伯的劳伦斯几乎要放弃拍电影
And when the film was over, I wanted to not be a director anymore because the bar was too high.
It was the first time, seeing a movie, I realized that there are themes that aren't narrative story themes. There are themes that are character themes, that are personal themes. That David Lean created a portraiture, surrounded the portrait with a mural of scope and epic action, but at the heart and core of "Lawrence of Arabia" is "Who am I"?
I started making movies when I was a young kid, but I remember the time I almost gave up my dream of being a movie director. I must have been 16.
越对什么事情感到自信或确定无疑,成果就越少
The more I'm feeling confident and secure about something, the less I'm gonna put out. The more I'm feeling, "Uh-oh, this could be a major problem in getting the story told," I'm gonna work overtime to meet the challenge and get the job done. All right, that's done. I don't know if it's worth it.
Spielberg:And so, I hate the feeling of being nervous, but I need to feel in this moment I'm really not sure what I'm doing. And when that verges on panic, I get great ideas. The more I feel backed into a corner, the more rewarding it becomes when I figure my way out of the corner.
Just before I went off to make "Jaws," I got to meet Henry Hathaway. He was kind of a tough-guy director, and he said, "There's gonna be moments where you're gonna get to the set and you're not gonna know what the hell you're doing. It happens to all of us. You've gotta guard that secret with your life. Let no one see when you're unsure of yourself. Hide that from everybody, or you'll lose the respect of everyone."
未见到的潜在危险更让人恐惧,细腻的心理层面
I knew that it's gonna take three or four weeks to rebuild the shark, and so we'd have to make up something else that didn't exactly show the shark but gave the sense the shark was near.
The barrels were a godsend, because I didn't need to show the shark as long as those barrels were around. What you don't see is generally scarier than what you do see, and the script was filled with "shark." Shark here, shark there, shark everywhere. The movie doesn't have very much shark in it.
John Williams:If the shark had been available visually, it might have changed the whole psychology of the experience.
青少年时期的自我认知,摄像机就是笔
I didn't have a lot of high esteem for myself, you know, growing up. I just was a lonely guy.
The camera was my pen. I wrote my stories through the lens. And when I was able to say "action" and "cut," I wrested control of my life.
But I didn't know anything about whether I was gonna have a career or where this was gonna go. I just knew that it filled up the time and it gave me a tremendous amount of satisfaction. And the second I finished a movie, I wanted to start a new one because I felt good about myself when I was making a film. But when I had too much time to think, all those scary whispers would start-- start up. It was not fun to be me in between ideas or projects.
遇到伯乐
"If you sign with us, I will support you as strongly in failure as I will in success."
对镜头语言的掌控
Steven Bochco:Steven had a gear in his brain that automatically translated words into pictures almost without it being a conscious process for him. There was a unique visual voice there that you had to not only pay attention to, but you had to give somewhat of a free rein to.
Edelstein:Right off the bat, it was clear that no one moved the camera like Steven Spielberg. Other directors had a fantastic sense of space. Orson Welles, you name it, people who understood composition. But the way that Spielberg's camera moved through a shot and then ended up somewhere that completely shifted or intensified the emotion of the scene, that was just a natural gift he had. Who knows where that came from. Who-- but it was his own technique.没人象斯皮尔伯格一样移动摄像机。其他导演有很出色的空间感。随便说一个Orson Welles非常理解构图。但是斯皮尔伯格在一个镜头中对摄像机的移动,以及在某一处停下来,完全改变或强化了场景的情感,那是他的天分。
George Eckstein called me and said, "Network's really upset that the truck didn't blow up, so they're ordering us to go back to that cliff and blow the truck up." And I said, "I'm not gonna do it." The death of the truck is so agonizing. I said, "I made that truck die slowly." The oil, like blood, dripping off the steering wheel. The wheel slowly rolling to a stop. The fan still going, but the truck's dying. I mean, it's the death of the truck. That's what the audience wants to see. This criminal element paying-- you know, paying the price for what it did to this man. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't blow up the truck.
对表达媒介的熟悉
Bochco:For Steven, the little screen was an interesting canvas, and obviously he painted on it very well, but he knew that this screen simply wasn't a large enough canvas.
Spielberg:For me, directing is camerawork, and so I'm very on the front line of that. I've gotta set up the shot, I've gotta block the actors, choreograph the movement of the scene, bring the camera into the choreography, figure out when the camera stops, how it moves, how far it moves, what the composition is, so I've always got my eye on the lens, and that's what I do. I even pick the lens I want.对我来说,导演就是摄像技术,因此我总是在摄像的前线。我需要设定镜头,隔离演员的因素,为镜头设计动作,将镜头带入到动作中,确定摄像机什么时候停止,怎样移动,移动多远,构图是什么样的,因此我的眼睛总是关注在镜头上,那就是我所做的。我甚至会自己挑选想要的镜头。
Scorsese:His strength is really the ability to be able to tell a story in pictures instinctively. I sometimes watch his pictures on TV without the sound just to see the pictures.
Edelstein:Pauline Kael, one of the most influential film critics of all time, wrote in "The New Yorker" that Steven Spielberg had made one of the most phenomenal debuts in the history of film. She compared him to Howard Hawks in terms of how natural his feel for the medium was. What Kael saw in Spielberg was someone with a real movie sense, but she also said she wasn't necessarily sure there was great depth to go with it. She didn't see a sign of an emerging film artist like Martin Scorsese. What she saw instead was the birth of a new generation Hollywood hand.
幸运的处于一个活跃的文化氛围中
Spielberg:We were very, very fortunate to be part of that time. The culture was converging. It was filmmakers, it was artists, musicians, performers. It was an incredible, fertile time.
未曾有意追求电影的精神内核,自己的精神层面会通过工作渗透到作品中
I don't search for films consciously that have a spiritual core. There's a spiritual part of myself that happens to bleed over into the work, and so I subconsciously, which is the only choice that's important, will find things that inherently have something of a belief system that's beyond our understanding, that's a little bit out there.
人与人之间的联结
Coyote:For many years I wondered about the universal appeal of this movie, and one day, it hit me. There are no two humans on Earth that are father apart than those humans and that alien creature. And if Elliott, and the mother, and the little girl, and the scientist, could all love and empathize and make a rapprochement and a rapport with this creature, so, too, can any two humans on Earth, and I think that was a subtext that bubbled up through the film and must have touched something, because you don't get many films that are universally loved and appreciated 40 years later. And it spoke to something. Some desire to be able to reach across boundaries and touch other people.
对儿童演员的特别关照
Spielberg:I think all of my movies that have dealt with young people and their stories are about the importance of empowering these children to take control of the story, at least take control of their lives.我所有的电影都与年轻人和他们的故事有关,使这些孩子们更强大,控制故事的呈现很重要,至少他们可以控制自己的生活。
二战喜剧片带来的失败与挫折
But it was like I committed a war crime by making "1941." Everyone was eviscerating it. I was really devastated. Just that feeling of failure, that cold emptiness, where every reminder of the movie, you get that sick feeling in the center of your stomach, and you just want to go dig a hole and stick your head in it. I mean, for the next year, I put my head in a lot of holes. And my friend George Lucas came to the rescue.
自身的成熟,期待电影在更本质更人性方面的变化
Spielberg:I was looking for a different perception of myself. And if I didn't want to consciously make a departure and prove something, not just to myself but to everyone else, I might not have chosen "Color Purple" as my next movie. But it was my first really mature film, which took on, you know, substantive, humanistic subject matter. I was turning 40 and I was looking at life perhaps less optimistically.
紫色中本可以有更深入的表达
Spielberg:I got in trouble with several critics who didn't like that I shied away from the love story between Shug and Celie. And the scene where Shug Avery shows Celie, with a mirror, her vagina, that that did not go into the movie, which would've really changed the entire nature and tone of the film. I just didn't go for the full monty the way the book did. I might've done that had I made the movie 10 years later. I was just timid. I was just a little embarrassed. I just wasn't the right guy to do that.
对自己犹太人身份从拒绝到接受
I certainly experienced being excluded and being picked on and discriminated against. All I wanted to do was fit in. And by being Jewish, there was no way I could fit into anything.
I began to deny my Jewishness, you know, began to deny everything that I had accepted as a child and was not willing to accept if it was going to make me a pariah. I was ashamed of myself. I still feel ashamed of myself even remembering that long stretch of my life where I didn't want to be Jewish anymore.
辛德勒名单的基调
I tried to do it with no fancy tricks, no fancy lenses, no big Hollywood sweeping cranes. I tried to take all the tools with which I made so many of my films and just chuck them out the window. I never handheld anything, but I wanted to handhold as much of "Schindler's List" as I possibly could. I just wanted to create for all of us the feeling that we were absolutely there at the time.
光影的隐喻
Neeson:Oskar Schindler was a gregarious man. He was a second-rate businessman. Bit of a shady character, you know? A man about town, loved the women, loved his booze. A bon vivant, that's what he was.
Spielberg:Everything we do in this medium is about light and shadow, how the cinematographer lights the actors, lights the set. If you look at "Schindler's List," Amon Goeth was always lit beautifully. He always had that beautiful front light. You know, the guy was very clear. There was no mystery in him. You don't have to enhance his evilness, if you may say, by lighting. Now, if you look at Oskar Schindler, that was a confused individual. He came to Poland to make money, so it's always glamorous, but always shadowy. And then as the movie's progressing, he gets more frontal light. The shadows disappear.身为导演的情感投入,以及电影之外的社会互动
It was, emotionally, the hardest movie I've ever made.
Kennedy:That was a pivotal moment in Steven's life. He recognized he couldn't take any of the profits from the film. He wanted to give something back, so he started what became the Shoah Foundation, documenting that oral history and capturing history in a way that allowed people not to forget.
多面手
Robert Zemeckis:For a filmmaker, you can't have a better producer than one of the greatest directors in the world. He really nurtures young talent coming up. It's a pretty amazing roster. He's also a major figure in the television business. He started a restaurant. Dive! Submarine sandwiches. The man was, like, doing 27 things at once and being perfectly unselfconscious about it.
Geffen:I don't think Steven really fears anything. He's always ready to go and do something new.
拯救大兵瑞恩中镜头距离与观众心理感觉的关系,声效,应变能力
Spielberg:I tried very, very hard to put the audience as close to the experience as I possibly knew how to do so there wouldn't ever be a safe feeling in the audience. And when you narrow that distance-- if you're successful in narrowing the distance, then the audience really becomes those characters.
Edelstein:In "Saving Private Ryan," Spielberg understood the expressionistic possibilities of sound.
And if you're not Steven, if you don't have this lifetime of cinematic language in your head, that's a different kind of day. But because his eye is so connected to his brain and every movie that he's ever seen and every movie that he's ever made, he just went out and said, "Here's how we're gonna do this, and that's it." Incredible.
自身的情感挫折与电影作为治疗方法
It was complex for me for a long time, but at least I had a art form that I could filter it through. At least I had that. If movies did anything for me, it-- I've avoided therapy because movies are my therapy.
“无论怎样都要争取自由”的电影主题,爱国主义与理想主义
Insdorf:There are people struggling in one way or another for freedom in these movies. Give... us free. He doesn't take freedom for granted.
Spielberg:I really believe in this country, and I always have. And it just resonated throughout my work-- wanting to tell American stories, wanting to tell stories about principled, ethical people who, against all advice and against most everyone else's better judgment, just proceed to do the right thing. I'm sure that sounds like I'm this kind of, you know, idealist or some sort of a patriot, but I am a patriot. And I'm somewhat of an idealist, too.
讲故事的方法
Steven worked a long time to find where the story was to tell it.斯蒂芬会花很长时间去找在哪里讲故事。
保持中立
Spielberg:I felt I could not make this one-sided. And so, I knew it would be controversial from the very get-go.
Daniel Craig:This movie was trying to affect and turn on a debate. Is vengeance the answer? Does it actually solve anything? If you continue the cycle of violence and cycle of blood, then... that's what they'll be and nothing else. Steven was very keen to tell a human story, that these were men and not superheroes. Their indecision and their mistakes and their-- is the reality of what happened, you know? Life isn't a "James Bond" movie.复仇是否就是答案
叙事的方法
Kushner:You're in the hands of somebody who will always show you what you need to see in order to understand, on a narrative level, what's happening. And you'll also see a lot of things that will help you understand on deeper levels as well. And that sort of narrative device
电影带出的不确定性
Hoberman:The movie was perceived to be suffering from a sense of moral equivalence, which is really the bravest thing about the movie. It's looking for aspects of humanity on both sides of this conflict. Ambiguity is something that you don't normally associate with Spielberg's films, and "Munich" is the film where he went the furthest in the bluntness and the ferocity with which he approached that subject.
家庭,分离与重聚
Spielberg:Family is a big element in my life, which is why so many of my stories are about separation and then reunification. Even "Lincoln" is about separation and reunification.
工作团队的稳定,与他人合作,激励同伴
Williams:He understands that people and can serve him and how to synchronize his wishes with your own. He would've made a great general.
在看电影中不断学习
Kennedy:Steven looks at movies constantly and over and over and over again, referencing shots and framing and ideas. That's something Steven does all the time.Spielberg:Great filmmakers' works live on to create tremendous moments of inspiration. And so, one of the films I still see every year is "Lawrence of Arabia." The shots, the sheer vistas, and the portrait of such a complex character, it's pure moviemaking. 伟大的电影导演的工作是创造巨大的启发性时刻。自我审视中的过去,成长
Spielberg:Many years ago, Pauline Kael gave me a really great review on "Sugarland Express," but she said, "Whatever's on the surface might be all that is there. There may be nothing behind that." And she was absolutely right. I hadn't grown up yet through the movies. That was going to come in time.
到现在为止的评论
Maslin:Take a look at what he's done over close to 50 years. There's certainly a lot of variety. There are some things he's done that haven't worked, but there is absolutely nobody like him and no film career trajectory that is anything like his in the history of film. He speaks cinema as if it's his native language. He is so fluent in it that he does things that nobody else would dare to do and they are instantly recognizable as things that are purely his.
Scorsese:He has a dynamic sense of real filmmaking. I'm talking about filmmaking of--in the great narrative tradition of American cinema. 真正的电影制作的动态感
Coppola:Steven was blessed in that he could be commercial and he could do art.That's why I always compare him to a kind of George Gershwin, because Gershwin could write a Broadway show or he could write "Concerto in F." He could both, and very few people can do both. And Steven can do both. And that's a talent you have to be born with. 商业与艺术
