The Young Victoria---宮廷絹戀─維多利亞與阿爾拔親王"宮廷式的愛情故事"

這套史詩式宮廷電影其實在去年Academy Awards其中一部競賽電影，而且拿得最佳服裝，曾經在美國當地獲得不少的注目。在近年荷里活不斷推出此類電影，如果要尋根究底，都要追溯久以前的歷史，以我的印象已經是Cate Blanchett的《Elizabeth》，而運用這種風格的戲並沒有減少的跡象，尤其是人物傳記類更甚，例子有《The King's Speech》及《The Queen》等，讓觀眾從其他渠道了解歷史。還記得在去年影后公佈提名之前，此部戲的女主角Emily Blunt被視為黑馬，可惜最後並沒有中選，但我相信大家應該對她一點也不陌生，她曾經參演《The Devil Wears Prada》，演出雖不算突出，但此片依然是她在事業上的轉捩點，我個人認為她在此片的演出十分優秀，可惜她的氣質及年紀令角色的塑造方面有一定的影響，換句話說，她與角色有點兒格格不入，可能這也是她未能入圍最佳女主角的原因。至於Rupert Friend的演出反而有驚喜，在襯托Emily Blunt之下，他亦可適當地表現自己的部分，而且沒有給人多餘的感覺，他實在是在此電影表現較好的演員。總括而言，這套戲在各方面都掌握得宜，儘管在劇情上可能有些少瘕疪，不過仍能被其他方面的好表現而平衡，因此小弟都喜愛呢部戲的演繹。評分：
