愛在海的邊緣 The Light Between Oceans (2016)

電影名稱:愛在海的邊緣 The Light Between Oceans
產地:澳洲 AUS 英國 GBR 新西蘭 NZL 美國 USA
上映日期:1 December 2016
觀看日期:2 December 2016
片長:133 Minutes
導演:Derek Cianfrance
演員:Michael Fassbender, Rachel Weisz

觀後感:
每個人都需要自己的空間去思考及沉澱,繼而把想法付諸實行或向他人傾訴,讓情緒可以得到適當的平衡;如果沒有在思考後表達,情緒便會一直累積下來,倘若負面的佔大多數,未能被抒發的情緒會讓人很容易鑽牛角尖,嚴重的更會導致抑鬱症狀,所以表達想法及情感是非常重要的,表達的方法也是有很多種,比如筆者的網誌、唱歌、聊天或者玩遊戲等。電影的男主角Tom Sherbourne(Michael Fassbender飾)則選擇了另類的方法去寄託自己的人生。他是一名參戰第一次世界大戰的生還士兵,退役後居於澳洲擔任守護燈塔的工作,他邂逅了當地人Isabel Graysmark(Alicia Vikander飾)並組織家庭,Isabel在其後三年內兩次流產令她大受打擊。有一艘舢舨從遠處漂到燈塔範圍的水域,Tom發現船上有一具男屍和一名女嬰,Isabel提議女嬰由她們撫養成人,並命名她為Lucy。當他們安排Lucy洗禮時,Tom遇上了一名正在拜祭丈夫的寡婦Hannah Roennfeldt(Rachel Weisz飾),他懷疑她就是Lucy的親母,暗中寫了一封匿名信交代其丈夫和女兒的下落。Tom的同事因看到Hannah丈夫的遺物而向警方作出舉報,Tom獨自承擔拐帶孩子的罪名,Lucy被迫回到屬於自己的家庭生活,Isabel因怪責Tom放走Lucy的行為而拒絕來往。Tom被警方控告謀殺罪,Isabel在最後一刻得知丈夫認罪完全為了當年戰爭後的創傷後遺症,她向警方說出真相,Hannah也決定不再追究,Lucy則在Hannah的家庭中繼續生活,並易名為Lucy-Grace。多年後,Lucy-Grace終於找回Tom的蹤影,從Tom的口中得知Isabel一直活在自己的罪疚感,他倆承諾對方會保持聯絡,二人繼續在自己的世界裡生活。

Michael Fassbender是一名德國男演員,他差不多三十歲才開始演藝生涯,在電視及電影的媒介上和不少的著名導演曾經合作過,無論文藝片或者商業片,他的演出都讓人嘆為觀止,代表作有300、Hunger及Shame。他的演繹帶出角色在生活上的沉重,一直處於戰爭倖存者的內疚狀態,雖然後期有了照顧小孩的任務,但當他發現小孩的親母時讓他的心情突然變得惡劣,筆者覺得他很準確地掌握到角色的感受,不過他演起來多了一份害怕老婆的感覺,讓劇情發展看起來不像故事的原意。他的下一部推介是King Fury,這是一齣他很演出的喜劇,筆者從來沒有看過他的喜劇演出,他的喜劇細胞可以在這一次大派用場。Rachel Weisz是一名英國女演員,她十多歲時開始模特兒工作,曾經推掉和Richard Gere合作的機會,在舞台及銀幕上都有不錯的表現,近年的演出魅力因角色的發揮機會而逐漸減少,代表作有Death Machine、The Constant Gardener及The Lobster。她在電影中的演出得到不少觀眾的讚賞,她所飾演的母親一直為了失蹤的丈夫和女兒掛心,她能夠將角色的堅持執著和人性的一面演繹出來,屬於全片的亮點;觀眾絕對不會討厭她這個要奪回親女的母親,反而會對女主角的行為反感,她的演技真的很精彩。她的下一部推介是The Mercy,她所飾演的是一位業餘航海家的妻子,筆者相信她一定會有好的演出,只是不肯定她在電影中會有多少戲份而已。

電影改編自同名小說,故事設定於上世紀二十年代初,一對夫婦為了一己私利而偷偷地養大別人的女兒,而且將她據為己有,就算之後贖罪其實也於事無補,因為他們奪走了她本來應有的童年,拆散別人的家庭;電影的展示嘗試合理化不對的行為,解釋兩夫妻不同的原因而讓觀眾認為情有可原,畢竟劇本是寫得不錯的,只是在表達上有所缺失。演員們的演出不過不失,沒有為電影帶來額外的分數。電影尾段父女重遇的劇情加添了一份令主角釋懷的效果,而電影的音樂也非常美妙,配合得到電影的氣氛。我們除了要學會懂得表達自己的感情外,還要懂得認真去聆聽別人的感受,但是要做到這種無私的層次,相信要一定的歷練及體驗才會達成,希望筆者有一天可以做得到吧!

丹麥女孩 The Danish Girl (2015)

電影名稱:丹麥女孩 The Danish Girl
產地:英國 GBR 美國 USA
上映日期:25 February 2016
觀看日期:28 February 2016
片長:119 Minutes
導演:Tom Hooper
演員:Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander

觀後感:
每個人在不同的事件上都有自己獨立的看法及立場,不過我們接觸與自己有異的意見時,會有不同的處理方法。就如前幾天筆者跟家人討論七警被判入獄的事情,雙方的立場不太一致,我們的做法都只是嘗試透過分享去游說對方去接受自己的看法;在社會上成為少數的一群人很多時候都不能夠得到體諒,他們受盡身邊人的歧視及誤解,為的是要對自己的生命負責任。在香港這個發達的大都市裡,東方傳統的保守思想仍然影響人的價值觀,很多小眾都為了滿足其他人的期望而選擇自己要走的路;筆者也曾經有過這樣子的掙扎,雖然不想令家人和朋友失望,但筆者也沒有選擇一條違背自己原則的路,過程要感謝很多人的幫助及支持。電影故事圍繞著一名男身女心的藝術家Einar Wegener(Eddie Redmayne飾),講述他變性成為女生的心路歷程。在二十年代的哥本哈根,Einar的想法是不被當時社會所接受的;他有變性的想法也是因為他的妻子Gerda Wegener(Alicia Vikander飾)要求他易服當模特兒。自從他試過裝扮成女生後,他內心中的女生Lili Elbe的性格便逐漸浮現,他們的好友Hans Axgil(Matthias Schoenaerts飾)幫助了他們不少。Lili性別辨認的情況變得嚴重,看過醫生後決定進行變性手術,最後他捱不過便死於併發症;Gerda帶著對她的愛和Hans生活下去。

Eddie Redmayne是一名英國的男演員,筆者在之前的文章也有介紹過這一位炙手可熱的男星,雖然他的演出經驗不算太多,不過其演技卻得到不少觀眾的肯定,去年的Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them更再次為他帶來人氣,作品包括Like Minds、Les Misérables及The Theory of Everything。如果去年沒有Leonardo DiCaprio,筆者相信他會是最佳男主角的得主;他在這電影的演出比The Theory of Everything的演出更動人細膩,他不只是在外型上呈現角色,而是連內心的部分都處理得非常好,是筆者去年選出的最佳男演員演出之一。他的下一部推介是Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2,電影是Harry Potter系列的外傳,他的演出依然討好,希望他會再參與一些有發揮的電影演出。Alicia Vikander是一名瑞典的女演員,她出道的時間和Eddie Redmayne一樣,自從2012年的A Royal Affair為她帶來國際間的知名度後,她便投身美國電影圈,在2015年有5部電影上映,成為人氣超高的女演員,代表作有Anna Karenina、The Fifth Estate及Testament of Youth。她在電影的表演是很有水準的,包括筆者的觀眾都認為她的角色屬於女主角的類別,而她在女配角的領域當中卻橫掃各大頒獎禮;她的角色是一名很支持丈夫的妻子,雖然她不能理解他的決定,但是仍然陪著他渡過難關,她的演繹充分表達出角色在立場及行動上的矛盾,是一個很難得的優秀演出。她的下一部推介是Submergence,電影是一齣愛情文藝片,她的發揮應該沒有問題,電影又能否引起電影觀眾的注意呢?

電影是根據一本同名小說改編而成,主要想借記述主角面對身分認同困難所作出的選擇,為社會上的少數發聲抗議現代人的排斥,並鼓勵他們不要為了其他人的目光而放棄自我;電影在訊息表達上做到了一定的效果,導演在這方面有很大的功勞。電影兩位主角的演技及火花提升了電影的價值,而一眾配角都有很好的演出及發揮,以致讓電影所表達的更深刻。電影在技術上的效果做得很優秀,在美術設計、服裝及配樂上都不遺餘力地重現當時的社會風貌,加強電影的故事性及藝術感。小眾們最厲害的地方不是要接受別人的批評,而是要拿出勇氣去表現自我,接受自己跟其他人是不一樣的;筆者在這議題上也不想再重複自己的主張了,只是希望世界真的可以做到大同及共融,在求同中也能做到存異,這個才是未來可發展的方向。
