今天去看了《流浪地球》,影厅里有一半左右的观众,都是家长带着孩子来的。
放映结束后走出影厅时,前面的妈妈跟身边戴眼镜的儿子说:“换作是我,宁可去看个喜剧,看这个什么流浪,太压抑了。”然而身边的儿子显然意识还停留在已然结束的电影中,意犹未尽,没空反驳妈妈。这就是代沟。
这个场景,让我想到了许多。
此前曾看到,有人比较《流浪地球》与诺兰的《星际穿越》,指责前者
今天去看了《流浪地球》,影厅里有一半左右的观众,都是家长带着孩子来的。
放映结束后走出影厅时,前面的妈妈跟身边戴眼镜的儿子说:“换作是我,宁可去看个喜剧,看这个什么流浪,太压抑了。”然而身边的儿子显然意识还停留在已然结束的电影中,意犹未尽,没空反驳妈妈。这就是代沟。
这个场景,让我想到了许多。
此前曾看到,有人比较《流浪地球》与诺兰的《星际穿越》,指责前者不及后者。于是,就有《流浪地球》的支持者冲到了豆瓣,给《星际穿越》都打了一分。
在我看来,他们都用错了力。如果说《流浪地球》上映并且票房已破28亿(截止我写文时,估计破30亿轻松),意味着2019年是中国科幻电影蓬勃的元年的话,那么,《流浪地球》最应该拿来做比较的,显然不是《星际穿越》,而是《星球大战》。
每一个元年的诞生,都有着它的内在逻辑。
中国2019,对应着美国1977。
那一年,刘慈欣14岁,吴京3岁,郭帆还没出生,《星球大战》在美国上映。
1,《流浪地球》剧本太糟?《星球大战》也好不到哪去
我看了原著,发现其实电影基本只是借用了原著小说的背景和若干元素,而重写的剧本。作为一个科学渣,我觉得科幻的故事其实挺棒的。
然而观看《流浪地球》时,我始终有一种冲动,想把Mike隋的嘴用袜子塞上,或者像北京台屏蔽吴某波一样,最好《流浪地球》能出个精编版,把这个人完全减掉,因为他的角色存在,从未推动过任何情节的演进,也从未承载任何故事线索或者情感,他只是一个絮絮叨叨、骂骂咧咧的碎嘴子存在,简直让以浩瀚宇宙和茫茫冰原为背景的电影变得异常吵闹。
不仅仅是Mike隋,影片中的许多人物对台都极其经不起推敲,充满了京味儿的脏话粗口、自以为搞笑的网络语言(“去你妹的”等),以及让人无比尴尬、听起来像是光膀子的北京老爷们喝醉时的醉话、带有明显的性别歧视完全不适合在电影里说尤其是科幻电影(“昨天那女的真的是自愿的”等)。
此前我曾在公众号里看到有人写《流浪地球》这部电影的诞生之艰难,投资是如何总是不够用,演员是如何甘愿不拿薪酬,摄影师又如何自己贴钱,导演和制片又如何卖房卖车来投资。这么多艰难之事都做了,为什么不能把剧本和对白再打磨得不那么让人尴尬呢?
但有人会告诉你,其实这些并不重要。也有人会觉得这就是创作者的时代局限性,每个人都有局限性。
如果我们仔细品味1977年乔治·卢卡斯的科幻电影《星球大战》,我们发现很多像《流浪地球》一样的剧本问题,比如反派大佬达斯维达以下所有的小弟都很不堪一击等等。据说卢卡斯最初的剧本就是在A4纸上乱编,想到哪写到哪儿,人物关系乱成一锅粥,以至于电影公司直接把剧本都打回来了:看不懂!
很多人现在说《流浪地球》“借鉴”了很多经典影片,《星际穿越》、《地心引力》,可是你可曾知道,乔治·卢卡斯在写星战人物时非常明确地“借鉴”了日本电影大师黑泽明的《战国英豪》,他黑泽明片中两个护送公主的搞笑农民直接写成了星战里的两个机器人。
而《星球大战》的主演哈里森·福特更是当面跟卢卡斯说:你这些破台词真的让我念不出口(太晦涩拗口)!
然而,漏洞百出的《星球大战》,所有参演人员都不看好、甚至连乔治·卢卡斯自己都不看好的《星球大战》还是在1977年上映了,全球票房近8亿,拯救了要死的福克斯影业公司,也改写了整个电影史,开启了科幻电影的新时代,更是衍生出多部系列续集,以及各种衍生文化及产业,价值不可估量。最近还在上映《星战8》。
《星球大战》影响了几代美国人,是很多孩子开启科学和宇宙梦想的唤醒者,无论是《老友记》里的生物学家罗斯,还是《生活大爆炸》里的物理学家谢耳朵,都是星球大战的忠实粉丝。罗斯连性幻想对象都是《星战》里的外星公主。
看完了《星球大战》的故事,你还觉得《流浪地球》的剧本是问题么?
还有人质疑,说《流浪地球》是反刘慈欣的电影,因为仅仅是借用了大刘原著中的背景和一些元素,甚至在主要矛盾和大结局上都进行彻底的改头换面,与刘慈欣的原文主旨方向背道而驰。还有人觉得《流浪地球》有各种科学常识硬伤。
再硬伤,也还在科幻的道路上硬伤吧,《星球大战》可是连“原力”这种“无处不在的超自然神秘力量”都出现了,与其说是科幻,不如说有点像玄幻了,所以很多人坚持说《星球大战》并不应该归类为科幻电影,因为很多地方“很不科学”,应该单独自成一类。可丝毫不影响它启迪了几代美国人的科幻与太空梦想。大众文化有时候就是这样,贴边就算。
2,电影最具普及性的想象力,将会拓展一代人的思维边界
科幻电影是一种很奇妙的东西。
卢卡斯的《星球大战》里,其实很多设定是来源于二战的,比如太空舰船对战其实来源于二战的空战,比如反派的大量名字和符号来源于德国纳粹,然而真正热爱“星战”系列的观众,恰恰是七八九十年代的出生的美国人,他们完全未经历过二战。
后来许多学术分析都认为《星球大战》的故事可以用stupid(蠢笨)来形容,但是它在当时最动人的创新之处就在于它的视觉效果。尽管库布里克的《2001太空漫游》在1968年就上映了,那是科幻电影里程碑式的作品,但毕竟库布里克这部现在看来都是神作的160分钟影片里,充满了仿佛太空版《圣经》一样的东西,隐喻,象征,暗示,几乎没有什么故事情节可言,还真的不是一般的人能够看懂并深爱的。
但《星球大战》的普及性就好多了,正派反派拿着激光剑砍来砍去,宇宙飞船炮火纷飞,打败魔头,拯救宇宙。
如果说《2001太空漫游》是纯科幻电影,而《星球大战》科幻背景的故事片,那么显然,票房证明了观众更容易接受科幻背景的故事片,而不是纯粹冷峻晦涩的科幻片,尽管它很先进,很科幻。
这也解释了为什么在《星球大战》之前和之后都存在过很多科幻片,可为什么偏偏是乔治·卢卡斯和《星球大战》登上了巅峰而不是他者。
可以预见的是,这恰恰是我觉得《流浪地球》的意义所在。
就像1977年《星球大战》在美国上映后对几代美国孩子的深渊影响一样,《流浪地球》这个几十亿的票房,以及此后会随之而来的中国科幻电影潮,会在中国至少两代人中播下向往科幻甚至科学的种子,这样一部电影比教科书上讲一百遍竺可桢的故事影响大多了,也原比一本《科幻世界》杂志的影响大得多。
这未尝不是一件好事。
3,历史需要《星球大战》,就像今天需要《流浪地球》一样
电影作为一种精神消费商品,总会反映着消费者的心态。
而一部畅销的电影,也一定反映着当时购票观众的某种心态,或者是潜在心态。
1977年1月,卡特就任美国总统。
当时,冷战尚未结束。与美国等西方国家对立的,是红色苏联,当时领导人是勃列日涅夫。
苏联在1958年发射了第一课人造卫星,在1961年将人类第一名宇航员加加林送入太空(他的名字出现在《流浪地球》中,为什么加加林上太空时不能带酒),苏联将军备竞赛扩展到了太空竞赛,而多项第一被苏联摘走,让许多美国人甚是灰心甚至恐慌,认为苏联在太空竞赛中有所优势。
看到一种说法,说整个70年代美国科幻电影的主基调都是悲观的。
1969年美国宇航员阿姆斯特朗登月,某种意义上证明了美国并未在太空竞赛中输给苏联。1970年代开始,苏联颓势显露,经济停滞。美国人看到了冷战胜利的曙光。
就在这时,配乐嘹亮的《星球大战》横空出世了,为了挽救“银河共和国”,义军和绝代武士们投入了战斗,反抗银河帝国的独裁统治。
虽然并未明言,但《星球大战》确实投射出了当时的冷战心态:虽然历经艰险,银河共和国还是被保卫住了,来自独裁的银河帝国的挑战,最终被击败了。
那里面,谁是美国,谁是苏联,不言自明。
1977年,中国恢复高考。
几年后,刘慈欣考上了华北水利水电学院的水电工程系,毕业后成为发电厂的一名计算机工程师,并在闲暇时开始写科幻小说。
2000年,刘慈欣凭借《流浪地球》获得当年的中国科幻银河奖,但除了科幻文学界外,很少有人知道这部小说。
2015年,刘慈欣的《三体》获得世界科幻大会雨果奖最佳长篇小说奖,首位中国人获此奖项。刘慈欣的名字,开始为更多人所知。
2017年,吴京主创的《战狼2》上映,打破多项票房纪录。
2018年,中美贸易争端爆发。
2019年1月,中国发射的嫦娥四号探测器在月球背面着陆,为人类首次在月球背面登陆探测器。
2019年2月,《流浪地球》上映,票房井喷之势。片中中国人拯救了地球,并且救援队出现了俄国人,日本人,韩国人,英国人,就是没提美国人。

6月的阳光下,陇东黄土大塬枝青叶绿,翠色欲流。新修的文化广场上,一场迟来的婚礼正在进行,当父亲田福财郑重地将女儿的手交到比她大20多岁的李军平手中,众人高兴得热泪盈眶……随着最后一个镜头的拍完,精准扶贫题材电影《风从塬上来》正式杀青。
这是一部基于当代农村变革的艺术创作,也是一部观照农民心灵裂变的精神史诗。影片以改革开放以来农村发生的巨大变革为背景,通过个体命运的跌宕起伏和人们精神追求的不断变化,反映了产业扶贫和思想扶贫、乡村观念与现代意识的碰撞给广大农村和农民带来的深刻变化。
电影《风从塬上来》由庆阳五谷源文化发展有限公司和甘肃大河传媒有限公司联合出品,创作团队以甘肃本土力量为主。
制片人何伟多年来扎根陇东大地,推出了《凤凰沟的春天》《红盾先锋》《岛囧》《上南梁》等多部作品。编剧路月明,是庆阳本土成长起来的剧作家,以当地历史文化资源为素材,先后创作完成电视连续剧《岐黄传》《义渠王传奇》。看到家乡在精准扶贫中日新月异的变化,两人都有创作一部反映乡村振兴题材影片的心愿。2016年,身为扶贫干部的编剧路月明接触到了这样一个素材:一位来自北京的企业家,在宁县吝店村进行农业生态园建设,8年来,通过慢慢打交道,他从听不懂当地方言到真正融入农村生活,一路成长和蜕变,思想与情感都发生了巨大变化;当地人也完全接纳了他。于是,就以此为主,在参考众多致富带头人、扶贫干部、驻村工作队员等先进典型的基础上,经过艺术的加工提炼,创作了剧本。
徐鸿钧,是从我省走向全国影坛的导演之一,多年来,执导拍摄影视剧40多部、纪录片20多部,其中《高原骑兵连》《花儿为什么这样红》《华锐嘎布》《拉卜楞人家》《走进香巴拉》等为观众耳熟能详。他对农村题材影片并不陌生,2011年4月,执导了影片《凤凰沟的春天》,但他这次走得更远。当他看到剧本后,就深入宁县当地采访、踩景,经过与其他主创人员的沟通,将故事定位到个性化的人物塑造上来,以精准扶贫为主,以乡村爱情为辅,讲述了这样一个故事:
宁县吝店村扶贫干部杨小刚经常以网名“风从塬上来”发布扶贫日记,同学田玉洁和她的企业家丈夫李军平看到后被感动,李军平决定随妻子一起回农村发展。他们的到来,在这个小山村掀起了轩然大波,田玉洁的父亲田福财不能接受女婿比女儿年龄大许多,更不能接受女儿放弃城里的工作回村种地,便将女儿关了起来,并将李军平赶出了家门。扶贫干部杨小刚将李军平拉到村部,两人彻夜长谈后成了朋友。在杨小刚的帮助下,李军平决定流转土地。村主任王兰得知后表面上支持,背地里却挑唆李虎娃和田狗锁从中作梗。面对艰难选择,在杨小刚和老党员李满堂的帮助下,李军平和田玉洁坚持了下来。村头的老井干涸,村民吃水困难,李军平出钱接上自来水,取得了村民信任。李军平在苹果园套种黑枸杞成功,通过电子商务将产品销往全国各地,外地客商纷纷来吝店村参观投资,黄土高原又迎来了一个改革的春天。田福财也接纳了女儿女婿,决定给他们补办一场婚礼……
近年来,我国主旋律电影创作逐步走向成熟,出现了一批社会效益和经济效益双丰收的佳作。这些影片,都有一个鲜明的特点,就是通过视角特效的升级和艺术手法的创新而使影片焕发出打动人心的光芒。电影《风从塬上来》也是基于这样的创作方向,力求通过艺术手法的创新和商业化的表达,使其走心动人。
特别是在人物塑造上,该片坚持共性和个性有机结合,使人物群体在历史变革面前对各自的生活追求做出抉择,让他们平常的乡村情结在激荡的历史脚步中变得激情和生动。每一个人物都代表一个群体,通过走进他们的心灵世界,展现他们的思想交锋,追寻外来建设者如何与乡村融为一体以及城市化进程中乡村如何走向振兴,群像式地刻画农民,表达对生活的认识和理解,思想宏大,留下很多让人解读和深思的空间。
2018年5月18日,电影《风从塬上来》在宁县吝店村开机拍摄。主要演员由文江、孙逢苑、肖利滨等担纲,还启用十余位来自陕甘两省的演员,使影片在人物形象和语音语调上更接近西北特点。
该片在服装、道具、音乐和场景布置上,都最大程度地还原当代农村面貌,突出地方文化元素。
井台既是农村人家汲水生活的地方,也是人际交流、信息传播的中心,摄制组在村子里几户人家之间的打麦场上专门搭建了古朴的井台,作为故事的主要发生地。
此外,该片还将唢呐等元素运用进音乐中,使之渗透着浓浓的地域味道。

16岁时看了阿拉伯的劳伦斯几乎要放弃拍电影

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

你不能说他不是好的电影,毕竟结构是精巧的,先分再总的叙事,在最后一段的群戏还是很精彩的。可这种漫画式的人物特质,放在一部真人戏里,除非有像那部摄影机不要停所描述的反差,否则观影过程是非常难以沉浸进去。所有的段落编排实在太过呱噪,缺乏有意义,或者说说是能够引起观众去思考的情节,要不然就像这部显得异常中二。

日本电影的叙事或者人物特质总是带有点不一样的味道。看过的告白如此,情书,或者跟这部几乎可以归为同类性质的 哪啊哪啊神去村都是这样。作为点缀是可以让我接受,而整个篇幅这样很难让我安静下来观看。显得有点乱尾段的群戏是夹杂了所有分戏人物的集合,编排的是过瘾,但结局很一般。不是太满足于此。主要还是人物太扁平化,而主题过分被这种异常曝露出的角色所感官冲淡。可能是自己审美不同,不太接受这中表演方式。所有的演员都很难看到演技类的享受,有点无趣。
本来这个片只配打两星,挂着金庸的名头啪啪打原著粉丝的脸。那TM是林朝英?那尼玛是王重阳?说好的一代侠女呢。武戏打斗垃圾到不行,各种快速剪辑和慢镜头营造出了一种瞎眼的效果。
但是林朝英如何其实并不重要。因为王重阳和完颜风才是这剧的主题。考虑到编剧是两位女性,主题是兄弟秦也是可以理解的。罗嘉良同学成功

但是林朝英如何其实并不重要。因为王重阳和完颜风才是这剧的主题。考虑到编剧是两位女性,主题是兄弟秦也是可以理解的。罗嘉良同学成功的演绎了一个怀抱美好理想的出道江湖的有志青年如何在时势的造化下蜕变成了一个为则目的不择手段的野心家。但是这个反派刻画的非常悲情,后期反水带有一种身不由己的无奈感,最后下场也非常凄惨,让人唏嘘。不得不说他演的很不错,多年后找他救火演杨康多半是因为这部戏。
Nick And Masa选的真是太绝 太妙 太对了。最终兄弟反目 古墓生死决战,这曲子一响,配上一幕幕往昔恩义相交的片段,气氛瞬间满点。把这片从一个挂名忽悠粉丝的垃圾片略略升华成了一部正常水准的武侠上海滩。所以两星变三星。成功坐上TVB金庸同人剧第二把交椅。
两周前偶然地买了点映场的票,在此之前并没有看过导演的其它作品,坐在电影院里等待电影开始时,我已经完全忘记了买票时对这部电影所做的任何功课了,一半也是拜这个含糊其辞的片名所赐吧。所以当高丽那张整容痕迹明显的脸出现在大屏幕上时,心里闪过一丝顾虑,女主角都长这样了,这片子还能好?后来听导演说,他原本是想把在上海这一段放在片尾的,但为了让片子显得光明一点就放在了开头,这样的理由真是刷新了我对电影的认
两周前偶然地买了点映场的票,在此之前并没有看过导演的其它作品,坐在电影院里等待电影开始时,我已经完全忘记了买票时对这部电影所做的任何功课了,一半也是拜这个含糊其辞的片名所赐吧。所以当高丽那张整容痕迹明显的脸出现在大屏幕上时,心里闪过一丝顾虑,女主角都长这样了,这片子还能好?后来听导演说,他原本是想把在上海这一段放在片尾的,但为了让片子显得光明一点就放在了开头,这样的理由真是刷新了我对电影的认知,不过这方法到是比为了适应中国电影市场硬接一个大团圆结尾不知道高到哪里去了。
影片拍摄的很细腻,在讲什么不知道,但对片中的几个角色留下了很深刻的映像,所以事隔一周后仍然想为他们写点什么,尽管记忆可能已经出现了偏差。
故事的主要情节从一户村民家开始,度春的大长腿实力抢镜,我当时想这个女孩是有多无知,才会在这么个满是老男人的偏远山村如此肆无忌惮的裸露她年轻美好的身体啊,于是我对度春便有了先入为主的偏见,觉得她只是导演的小跟班,机械地完成着导演交代的任务,后来她中途出走,我也觉得她是因为吃不了苦而不负责任的抛弃团队。但后来,我被一次次打脸,慢慢发现度春竟是这个团队中最自信、准备最充分、最清楚自己想要做什么的人。观影结束后短暂的影迷交流会中,有人对度春在影片中几处过于文艺的表达提出了质疑,觉得这样很“出戏”,虽然我承认文艺作品中不乏无病呻吟、华丽空洞的废话,但总的来说语言变得变得更复杂、高级、凝炼、抽象是为了更准确的表达人类的所思所想,度春强烈、清晰的自我意识需要这样"文艺“的表达。
然后是个人目的成谜的丁制片,交流会上有人问起制片是个什么工种,因为她不能理解能文能武的制片为什么要对这个看起来非常不靠谱的导演不离不弃。影片中有很多导演、度春、小白独自沉思的镜头,但制片没有,周遭环境的改变似乎从来不足以引起她的注意,她的高跟鞋连同其它所有不适合爬山的装备一起帮她维持着高级写字楼里的优雅,让她可以在操着方言的村民与远在异乡的外国友人之间、在破败的小旅馆与挖药人的临时住所之间切换自如。
春苔是那个最让我有代入感的人物,影片中的四人组之间有着各种暧昧不明的情愫,但都点到为止,这种暗流涌动的情欲与无可奈何的克制在春苔身上表现的最为明显,就像在现实生活中的我,明明对亲密关系有着强烈的渴望,却因为难以承担任何行动所可能产生的后果而只能选择克制。其实很羡慕影片中的四人组能有一次与外界隔绝、亲密相处的机会。我想不只我一个人会有这样的想法吧,所以像爸爸去哪儿这样的真人秀、先结婚后恋爱这种类型的电视剧才会那样受欢迎。
小白是那个尚在门外,不懂自己为什么不被重视的我,他没有与制片、导演平起平坐的实力,也没有度春那样清醒明白,只能小心翼翼地察言观色。看完影片之后看了很多别人写的影评,涉及很多专业的电影知识,都是些我插不上嘴的东西,让我怀疑我些这篇影评有什么意义,我是不是应该默默的给个五星好评就好了。
最后是老罗,如果说以上所说的几个人是“我们”,那老罗就是”他“,我想所有观看这部影片的人没有人会在老罗那里找到共鸣,他是每一个文艺青年会与之打交道的外部世界,你不喜欢他,不信任他,但又不得不依靠他,而他还真的就莫名其妙地把你带到目的地了。但反过来想,老罗是不是也觉得“我们”莫名其妙呢,电影里有一个镜头是老罗在黑夜中注视着在调情的导演和度春,那眼神里分明写着嫌弃。
中午不想看材料,便看了两集,第二集要跌破三观,男主角不是有未婚妻,不是在谈恋爱吗?女主角的朋友就怂恿她以命运为理由,去撬墙角,她还真的去撩了,去撩了,是没有看到人家有一个手挽手的女朋友吗?哈哈,因为女二是财阀的继承女,小三是普通人家的坚强女,所以就正常了吗?
大家都是腰肩盘,怎么她这么突出。

从任何角度来讲,大决战三部曲都是中国战争电影的巅峰。虽然风格上市延续苏联式的领导开会+大场面战争。但是大决战系列确实把这种模式做到了最好。从全景表现战役的角度来看,这种形式远远超过珍珠港式的小人物折射大历史那种效果。淮海战役作为第二部,也是三大战役中交战双方实力最接近的一次战役,精彩程度那是不用多说的。大决战系列中最大的几个长镜头基本上都是本片的,一个是黄维的18
从任何角度来讲,大决战三部曲都是中国战争电影的巅峰。虽然风格上市延续苏联式的领导开会+大场面战争。但是大决战系列确实把这种模式做到了最好。从全景表现战役的角度来看,这种形式远远超过珍珠港式的小人物折射大历史那种效果。淮海战役作为第二部,也是三大战役中交战双方实力最接近的一次战役,精彩程度那是不用多说的。大决战系列中最大的几个长镜头基本上都是本片的,一个是黄维的18军行军,一个是双堆集围歼12兵团,两个长镜头都气势十足,波澜壮阔。从细节上说,国公双方的将领都描写的非常出色。粟裕那种大将风范,黄百韬那种忠诚,杜聿明那种无奈,邱清泉那种跋扈,都非常出色。对于淮海战役的三个阶段,交代得清清楚楚,明明白白。对于支前民工的描写也不错。缺点也有,主要是两个,一个是表现总攻双堆集伤亡过大,陈毅视察丧葬点一场,煽情有些用力过度,现在看起来有些矫揉造作之感。毕竟双方都是中国人,普通士兵的死其实都是挺无奈的。另一个就是在道具使用单个,不知为什么,这一集中数次出现了56冲锋枪的镜头,特别是金鑫扮演的三营长还有个手持56冲锋枪射击的特写镜头。真是不该。
