夜行動物 Nocturnal Animals (2016)

電影名稱：夜行動物 Nocturnal Animals
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：16 April 2017
觀看日期：16 April 2017
片長：116 Minutes
導演：Tom Ford
演員：Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson

觀後感：
筆者相信人生中的某些時候總會有愛情的經歷，通常會發生在年輕時期，然後我們需要在關係中作出選擇，從而影響我們日後的生活及成長。現代社會對感情的看法有所改變，就算是一紙婚書也不代表甚麼特別的意義；正所謂「共度餘生的那一個不一定是最愛的那一個」，每段戀情總有值得懷念的地方，不受控制的留戀只會為當事人帶來嚴重的傷害。故事的主人翁以過去的戀愛為寫作靈感，將完成的手稿給予舊愛閱讀，他期望的到底是一次解放還是一次控訴？Susan Morrow(Amy Adams飾)是藝術館的擁有者，她和丈夫不愉快的婚姻讓她失去生活中的色彩。Susan收到前夫Edward Sheffield(Jake Gyllenhaal飾)新作Nocturnal Animals的手稿，她知道作品的靈感是他倆以往的關係，於是她細心閱讀書本的內容。書本的故事講述Tony Hastings(Jake Gyllenhaal飾)一家人在夜晚的公路上遇到三名小混混，他們捉走Tony的妻子和女兒並遺棄Tony，Tony逃走後報警通知警方。偵探Bobby Andes(Michael Shannon飾)負責調查有關案件，他發現Tony的妻子和女兒在一間已荒廢的屋內被姦殺，其中兩名犯人先後受到法律制裁，最後一名犯人Ray Marcus(Aaron Taylor-Johnson飾)因證據不足而一直逍遙法外。Bobby為了公義濫用私刑，仍能逃脫的Ray被復仇心切的Tony窮追猛打，Ray在對峙時刺激Tony的弱點，Tony槍殺Ray後意外射死自己。Susan看罷故事後推測到Edward的情緒，回想起當日自己不顧一切下嫁Edward，後來忍受不了他沒有在夢想中考慮現實，更因為和現任丈夫的婚外情而離異。Edward嘗試修補破裂之情，但Susan為了離婚成功而狠下毒手打掉他們的孩子，Edward自此再無任何音訊。最後Susan應邀到餐廳赴約，等候數小時後依然未見Edward的出現，讓她在空無一人的餐廳中百感交集。

Michael Shannon是一名美國男演員，一直默默耕耘的他首先踏上台板上演出，及後在電視與電影方面也有不錯的發展，而且沒有任何類型的限制，近年的演出開始獲得較大的迴響，代表作有Groundhog Day、Revolutionary Road及99 Homes。他是一位經驗豐富的表演者，在電影中的表現一向穩定，不過很多時候都會被同戲演員比下去；他這次的演出依舊很有張力，但角色本身不算突出，筆者覺得他的表現未足以被提名演技獎項，不過也不是一個不好的表演。他的下一部推介是What They Had，電影是一齣女性主導的作品，他應該是其中一位重要的角色，相信他的表現在這類劇情片中會有不錯的效果。Aaron Taylor-Johnson是一名英國男演員，他六歲便開始演戲，最轟動演藝圈的事情就是他的婚姻，當時只有十八歲的他和四十多歲的女導演結婚成為一時佳話，他的演技也隨著經驗的累積而漸趨成熟，代表作有The Apocalypse、Nowhere Boy及Kick-Ass系列。他在電影中有脫胎換骨的演繹，除了造型上的改變外，他完全表現出角色壞在骨子裡的性格，成為電影中矚目的亮點。他在去年失去了Academy Award最佳男配角的提名是很不值的，希望他日後會有更好的角色去衝擊獎項。他的下一部推介是A Million Little Pieces，電影的題材涉及毒品問題，暫時不知道他的角色戲份有多重，筆者有點期待他非奸角的演出。

電影改編自九十年代的小說，以懸疑心理片的風格，展示戲中有戲、話中有話的故事情節，讓喜歡思考的觀眾連繫書中故事及電影世界關連，筆者其實也沒有想得很通透。電影一眾演員恰如其分的發揮成功營造電影的氣氛，Jake Gyllenhaal的表現再次帶給觀眾驚喜，Academy Award真的虧欠他一個認可。電影利用場景設計的明顯差別分開現實及小說世界：天馬行空的小說有很多預期內的戲劇效果，跟真實世界的含蓄表達有很強烈的對比；角色的內心想法透過故事情節的刻畫，強烈程度沒有直接地由演員們表現出來，可見電影的難度所在。筆者覺得主角將自己不快經歷以其他媒介展示這種手法很有趣，而且效果應該不錯，表達自己的情感後既可以放下，但又不會讓回憶隨時間過去而消失；假若筆者有更多空閒時間的話，也想嘗試將自己的經歷寫成小說，分享一下自己獨特的人生體驗。

天煞異降 Arrival (2016)

電影名稱：天煞異降 Arrival
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：12 January 2017
觀看日期：21 January 2017
片長：116 Minutes
導演：Denis Villeneuve
演員：Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner

觀後感：
語言是一種很奇妙的東西，它的存在讓我們可以和別人溝通，表達我們的意見，記錄過去發生過的事情；我們有時候會忽略語言的影響力，它可以使人名成利就，也可以摧毀我們的人生，所以我們從小就要學習語言技巧，社會上的經驗更會令技巧昇華，讓我們能夠應付生活上的需要。電影的題材是語言，而學會了溝通才是人類文明發展的重要步伐。世界各地的上空出現了12艘太空船，美國軍隊代表Colonel Weber(Forest Whitaker飾)招攬語言學家Louise Banks(Amy Adams飾)和物理學家Ian Donnelly(Jeremy Renner飾)調查外星人到訪的因由。當他們登船和外星人溝通後，Banks開始鑽研外星人的語言，同時偶而會看到女兒的模樣，但她至今仍是單身。後來她解讀到外星人到訪的原因是「提供武器」，中國的代表帶頭暫停和外星人對話，認為他們是極具侵略性的，Banks卻覺得這次舉動源於人類一直以來對外星人的排斥。美國軍隊在太空船裝上炸彈，外星人為了救回他們而驅逐二人離開，他們復原後發現外星人一直在強調時間，並想各國分享所收到的訊息，整合後才能完整地解讀。各國發出通牒要求外星人在24小時內離開地球，於是Banks進行最後一次的調查，外星人向她說出到訪的目的是為人類提供協助，因為在未來他們會需要人類的幫助；「武器」指的是外星人的語言，人類學會這種語言後就會有預視未來的能力。Banks成功說服中方的代表放棄強硬的態度及分享所得到的訊息，各國願意分享後外星人便撤離地球。事後Donnelly向Banks表達愛慕之情，Banks詢問他假若能夠預視未來會否更改人生的選擇；她知道他們不會有好的結果，但她仍然會依照人生的道路所行走。

Amy Adams是一名美國女演員，她是近代演技較出眾的女演員之一，經歷屢次的失敗都沒有放棄，在差不多打算轉行時終於得到觀眾的認可，實現了她成為演員的夢想。她的演技有了很大的進步，曾被多次提名Academy Awards的演技獎項，代表作有Drop Dead Gorgeous、Junebug及American Hustle。她的演出帶領著電影故事的發展，筆者覺得她的演技漸趨成熟，在近年的角色都有很好的表現；角色的冷靜及理性不是她慣常演出的角色性格，而她很恰當地平衡了情感元素，讓表演在電影中變得更加精彩，筆者真的越來越愛她的演出，可惜去年並沒有被提名最佳女主角。她的下一部推介是Backseat，電影是一部關於美國前副總統Dick Cheney的傳記電影，她將飾演其妻子的角色，筆者相信她這一次的演出有很大機會再次角逐演技獎項，希望她能夠有令人眼前一亮的突破演出。Jeremy Renner是一名美國男演員，他起初以參演獨立電影及客串電視影集為主，直至The Hurt Locker令他一舉成名後，他成為了電影界的新寵兒，近年更成功塑造動作巨星的形象，不過香港人應該會比較留意他和謝婷婷的緋聞，代表作有National Lampoon's Senior Trip、The Hurt Locker及The Bourne Legacy。他在電影中起了一個很強的輔助作用，他是少數支持女主角觀點的人，女主角在情感上的依靠也是由他提供，所以他飾演的角色十分重要；不過筆者認為他的角色風頭被蓋過，以致影響到他的發揮，因而他的表現看起來沒有甚麼特別的地方。他的下一部推介是Tag，這是一齣由他監製的喜劇，筆者很少看到他的喜劇表現，不過他要下一些苦功才能讓自己的表演更突出，獲得更多的演戲機會。

電影改編自命名為Story of Your Life的故事，講及語言的決定論的概念，科幻的展現讓觀眾一度以為電影是一齣外星人侵略地球的故事，不少觀眾被因為時空交錯的手法而不能理解電影情節的準確時序，筆者反而挺喜歡電影本身的故事性及其表達的方法。電影的主要戲份是由Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner和外星人合作，整體上的演出合乎預期，而Amy Adams的演繹相當優秀。電影在音效、視效、音樂、攝影等技術範疇上製作電影的場景及營造平靜陰沉的氣氛，強調外星人不是侵略而是提供協助，突顯了人類在作決定時往往都不能夠完全客觀地考慮事情，很多時候只會偏向自己認為較好的選擇，電影同時觸發了不少觀眾的思考及反省。語言為我們的生活帶來不少的便利，其複雜性在人際關係及作出決定時總有著容易被忽視的影響，善用語言的人因此會更容易取得各方面的成就，突然之間筆者對語言這門學問又產生了一點點興趣了。

蝙蝠俠對超人：正義曙光 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

電影名稱：蝙蝠俠對超人：正義曙光 Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：24 March 2016
觀看日期：24 March 2016
片長：151 Minutes
導演：Zack Snyder
演員：Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill

觀後感：
在電影世界的觀念上，英雄的職責是對付壞人的，他們為了拯救人類而奮力抗戰，成為了不少男生心目中的偶像。超人這位英雄人物在銀幕歷史上已經出現過無數次，不過不是每一位飾演過超人的演員都會走紅；這一次更出現英雄內訌對壘的劇情，成功製造噱頭讓不少觀眾入場觀看。筆者不知道甚麼時候愛上了看英雄片，雖然在劇情上並沒有很吸引的地方，但電影所帶來的感官刺激是非常不錯的。超人(Henry Cavill飾)在Man of Steel後成為舉世矚目的英雄，蝙蝠俠(Ben Affleck飾)卻覺得他為人類所帶來的破壞是一種威脅。企業大亨Lex Luthor(Jesse Eisenberg飾)進行秘密計劃，蝙蝠俠暗中調查Lex Luthor，從而認識了神奇女俠(Gal Gadot飾)；他知道超人的女友Lois Lane(Amy Adams飾)在將來某事情上的重要性，並得知Lex Luthor研究超人類的資料，希望可以偷取Lex Luthor所研製的物質對付超人。超人無法防止國會聽證的恐怖襲擊，因而處於一蹶不振的狀態，此時蝙蝠俠正部署對付超人的計劃。Lex Luthor使計讓兩大英雄交手，Lois Lane在最後關頭勸服超人和蝙蝠俠聯手對付巨型怪物，神奇女俠也參與其中，最後超人犧牲自己殺死怪物。Lex Luthor被補後聲言不會放棄，蝙蝠俠打算組隊對抗黑暗勢力，而電影末段暗示超人並沒有真正死去，延續故事的發展。

Ben Affleck是一位美國男演員，他是一位筆者很尊敬的電影人，因為筆者覺得他在商業及藝術取得一個很不錯的平衡，他一直努力地實踐自己的電影夢，雖然他的演技並沒有得到很多人的讚賞，不過他也曾有過不錯的演出，代表作有The Town、To the Wonder及Gone Girl。當初他接演這個角色時得到坊間極大的反面迴響，的確他給人的印象並不是一個蝙蝠俠，演出來的時候他沒有很差，只是他並沒有一種很實至名歸的感覺，很難成為一個具標誌性的蝙蝠俠。他的下一部推介是Witness for the Prosecution，醉心於電影事業的他繼續自導自演，今次飾演一位影響生命的大狀，不知道他能否再次得到觀眾的正面評價。Henry Cavill是一位英國的男演員，早期在英國發展演藝事業的他原來在2004年已被選上成為超人的人選，最後卻易角為Brandon Routh，誰知道7年後他真的可以飾演超人一角，作品有Stardust、Man of Steel及The Man from U.N.C.L.E.。他在電影中的演出好像比蝙蝠俠較受歡迎，除了角色定位的原因外，演員本身的個人魅力也很重要，超人的形象深入民心，這對他日後的演藝圈發展也有些微的阻礙；他會像Andrew Garfield一樣突破戲路嗎？他的下一部推介是Sand Castle，這部戰爭片有不錯的劇情，觀眾可以看到他能否跳出超人的框框。

電影的主要人物來自DC漫畫，日後更發展Justice League系列，與Avengers系列打對台，今集的劇情算是有一些轉折位，擺脫過往英雄片連場動作的固有畫面，萬眾期待的神奇女俠也隆重登場。演員們的演出沒有甚麼特別的地方，Gal Gadot的選角是一個不錯的決定，她的演繹很有壓場感，相信她的發展從此會不一樣。電影的特效大大增強了視覺上的享受，即使不能補救劇本上的不足，仍然可以維持電影應有的娛樂性。筆者小時候對超人這類英雄沒有興趣，反而一直都會有一個自私的願望，就是可以讓我遇到一些能夠愛護及關心我的人，感覺上我現在好像都已經找到了幾位了，無論如何筆者一定會珍惜每一段關係，好好的享受自己的人生。

大眼睛奇緣 Big Eyes (2014)

電影名稱：大眼睛奇緣 Big Eyes
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：8 January 2015
觀看日期：14 January 2015
片長：106 Minutes
導演：Tim Burton
演出：Amy Adams, Christoph Waltz

影評：
父母為了維持一個家庭，他們一定會盡能力去擔當好這個角色，確保自己的子女能在健康完整的家庭成長，不過並不是每一個家庭都會是圓滿的，有時候父母為了家庭，即使彼此之間的關係出現問題，二人都盡量磨合或隱瞞實情；不過這樣做會讓父母的壓力很大，而且子女也會察覺到不妥的地方，影響到他們日後對感情關係的看法。電影中的家庭也是經歷類似的事情，但主要是媽媽給爸爸傷害感情的故事。Margaret(Amy Adams飾)帶著女兒Jane(Madeleine Arthur飾)到三藩市開始新生活，她認識另一位藝術家Walter Keane(Christoph Waltz飾)並和他組織家庭。Walter得到酒吧老闆的允許，在牆壁上展示二人的作品，Margaret的作品吸引很多人的注意，因而為他倆帶來不錯的收入，自此Margaret的創作便由Walter負責銷售。Walter對外界聲稱所有畫作都是出自他手筆的，而Margaret也只能以另一風格的創作得到滿足感，及後Margaret發現Walter一直都是以售賣他人的作品為生，他幾乎沒有創作過任何作品。Walter威脅Margaret不要把真相說出，否則他們所擁有的收入及名氣會全部消失；Margaret為紐約展覽會創作，Walter對作品的負評震怒不已，被嚇怕的Margaret和Jane毅然離開Walter。一年後，Margaret已定居夏威夷，Walter不願意簽署離婚文件，Margaret決定對簿公堂以還自己一個公道。席上Margaret和Walter被要求即場創作，Margaret得到最後的勝利，終於可以在自己的作品上簽名。

Amy Adams是當代一線紅星，這幾年她的作品只有不斷在不同的媒體上映，而且她的名氣及得到的榮譽有增無減，近年她的作品有Man of Steel、Her及American Hustle。她在電影中的演出不錯，她很少演出傳記式的電影，而且她在很多主要角色的劇情式電影通常會有很好的發揮，所以我覺得她的演出是很適當的，但是並沒有很讓人驚豔的感覺。她的下一部推介是Nocturnal Animals，電影的劇情很有追看性，並有不少實力派演員參演，預料會在來年的Award Season取得好成績。Christoph Waltz的演技無容置疑，他從得到國際的認可後一直參演美國的電影，令更多人認識他這位來自奧地利的演員，他近期的作品有Django Unchained、The Zero Theorem及Horrible Bosses 2。他在電影的演出很精彩，每一次他的丑角演出都是很好的，而且每一次他都會因應角色而調整自己的表現，這一點是我很欣賞的。他的下一部演出是The Legend of Tarzan，他在電影中又再演出奸角，觀眾很快就可以看到他的演出。

電影的重點並不是家庭關係，而是人性的貪婪及其後果，電影中男主角為了一己私利而出賣另一半的行為，並不是一段關係中應有的做法，而劇情發展充分地展現出人性的真面目。演員們的演出不過不失，而飾演Jane的Madeleine Arthur也有相當不錯的演出。電影中所使用的視覺效果加強電影的懸疑感，而且電影在服裝及美術指導上都很配合電影設定的時代背景，增添了電影的藝術感。作為子女的我們，除了維持家庭的和諧外，其實也要支持父母的決定，因為他們也有自己的生活，不應只為考慮我們的感受而犧牲。

導演：David O. Russell
演出：Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence

影評：
在生活中我們遇到謊言的機會率有多少？我想幾乎每一天我們都會對其他人說謊或被其他人欺騙，但最重要的是謊言背後的動機是甚麼。小弟以前曾經承諾自己無論如何都不會說不真實的說話，就算到了關鍵時刻我只會沉默而不會妥協，這也是年輕的我和母親爭吵的其中一個題目。現在我已經沒有當時的堅持，但依然深信一種想法：無論謊言是怎樣，始終一天會給他人揭穿的。我並不太相信「白色謊言」的一套理論，因為這種謊言被發現後往往把被騙人傷得最深。現實中有很多說謊高手，若是給他們選中了我們根本不能防避，不過故事中的騙子卻聰明反被聰明誤。Irving(Christian Bale飾)是一名偽裝高手，和拍擋Sydney(Amy Adams飾)發展感情關係，但Irving不敢離開妻子Rosalyn(Jennifer Lawrence飾)，因為他們領養的兒子Danny及她對他作出向警察舉報的威脅。FBI探員Richie(Bradley Cooper飾)撞破Irving和Sydney的騙局，要求他們協助拘捕行動作釋放他們的條件，Sydney計劃趁機操控Richie，自救出險境。市長Carmine(Jeremy Renner飾)是其中一個目標，他想重建亞特蘭大城的賭博業以振興經濟，但在資金上出問題，Richie打算找出證據指證Carmine非法收受利益；他安排Irving及Sydney令Carmine上釣，並得到上司的鼓勵。Carmine起初不肯接受Richie的賄賂，經過Irving的勸告下，他倆成為好友以令行動得以繼續進行。Richie和Carmine出席一個賭博派對，發現了黑幫主要人物Tellegio(Robert De Niro飾)的蹤影，於是打算利用騙局把他拘捕，可惜Tellegio非常小心以致難關重重。Richie和Sydney產生好感，Rosalyn也因寂寞而出軌，Irving終於可以離婚，而Richie最後能夠拘捕黑幫集團。Carmine拒絕Irving和Sydney的幫助，兩人向警察講出真相：Richie在最後關頭進入了他們設的騙局；這令Richie永不翻身。電影結尾時Irving和Sydney能夠在一起，Rosalyn和新歡也在一起，並和Irving共同撫養Danny。

Christian Bale是著名的「蝙蝠俠」，在八十年代開始演戲的他，至今有不少繪炙人口的作品，而且得到的獎項也多不勝數，著名的作品包括Empire of the Sun、Batman系列及The Fighter。他在電影中再次以醜化角色演出，他是一位願意為電影作出大程度付出的演員，雖然角色不像他本人的形象，但他連性格及說話的語氣都模仿得很真實，他是非常適合演出這個角色並很出色及盡力地演出。他的下一部推介是Knight of Cups，這部愛情片有多位好戲之人如Cate Blanchett和Natalie Portman演出，十二月的時候應該會引起入場的熱潮。Amy Adams出道差不多十五年，意想不到的是她在意大利出生的，她的歌藝為她的銀幕旅途起了很大的作用，她的作品包括Junebug、Enchanted及The Fighter。她在電影的演出被譽為生涯中目前最佳演出，事實上她的演出令人眼前一亮，沒有人會想像她可以演出這類角色，而且把角色發揮得淋灕盡緻，畢竟她近年的電影演出一次比一次進步及更具挑戰性，她的成功是指日可待的，這次的演出也能證明她擔任主角的能力。她的下一部推介是Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice，她延續上次 Man of Steel的角色，英雄電影擁躉必定支持。Bradley Cooper是美國影壇的寵兒，近年逐漸遇向演技派的路途，現在的他已經沒有以前偶像的影子，代表作有The Hangover系列、Limitless及Silver Linings Playbook。小弟覺得他在電影的演出算是最暗淡的一個，沒有很多驚喜且比不上前作的大突破，他的提名令我知道明星的力量是如何強大，不過他的進步大家應該有目共睹，而且我認為他較適合演出劇情片，觀眾的共鳴會容易產生。他的下一部推介是Aloha，重回愛情喜劇片的懷抱，電影的娛樂性應該會挺豐富。Jennifer Lawrence是其中一位史上最年輕的Academy Awards Best Actress的得主，她的經驗只有數年，但演技的精湛受到業界的讚賞，知名的作品有Winter's Bone、The Hunger Games系列及Silver Linings Playbook。她在電影中是演得最好的一位演員，單看她的演出根本不會發現她只有24歲，戲份雖然沒有前作那麼主要及充分，但發揮依然沒有令人失望，這能引證她是懂得演戲的。她的下一部推介是The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2，這電影系列已來到最後一集，捧紅了不少演員，終結篇是一定不能錯過的。

電影是根據真實事件改編的，效果比預期理想，很多觀眾很喜歡這種懷舊時代的喜劇片，其新鮮感的確提高電影的水準。導演再次和熟悉的演員合作，擦出的火花是近年電影少見的，每位演員也很専業地把自己的本分做好。電影在效果上能夠營造到懸疑緊張的感覺，適當地運用剪接、美術及化妝等技術，令電影的整體水準更加提升。說謊及騙局屬於不同的層次，但箇中的結果都是一樣，不想做受騙的除了要反應力及敏感度高之外，最主要是保持自我，不要刻意高調向世人展示自己的所作所為，這樣便可避免成為目標。

Enchanted---魔法奇緣"熱閙且有童真的藝術品"

Disney每年都會推出卡通動畫及真人電影，前者的歷史悠久，其題材亦源源不絕，幾乎每年的意念都不同(除續集外)，因此吸引了世界各地的觀眾，而且涉及所有年齡層。家喻戶曉的動畫有《Toy Story》、《Finding Nemo》、《Up》及曾獲最佳電影提名的《Beauty and the Beast》。而後者則是近幾年才流行，這一套屬於較早期的作品，另外的同類電影例子是《Alice in Wonderland》。這一套戲給觀眾最深刻的印象是那些悅耳的歌曲，旋律偏向兒歌路線，歌詞亦容易上口，所以當年相當受大人和小朋友的歡迎。如果有留意過這套電影的新聞，大家都會記得女主角Amy Adams如何受影評人及觀眾的追捧。她在Academy Awards曾經被提名三次，可惜的是每當她擔任女主角的時候，電影的票房及口碑都只是在中下水準，所以她多年來都只會帶紅自己飾演的配角，不過在《Enchanted》，她的確表現得十分優秀，角色到位且不浮誇，如果換了另一位新紮女星飾演這角色，效果可能沒有Amy Adams般那樣好。其他角色在比較下則差得太遠，不過在造型方面(尤其是惡毒皇后Susan Sarandon及王子James Marsden)則增添了不少功勞。這套電影顯然不是以劇情做賣點，除了角色討好及大團圓結局之外，戲中的小鼠亦是會搶去觀眾目光的角色。評分：

Who Wins? Melissa Leo for The Fighter

The Best Supporting Actress Series 2009

六個系列最後一個─Supporting Actress系列，其實係六個之中最勁既一個。因為大家一樣咁勁，而且實力不相上下，亦冇任何一個係特別大機會既，我諗真係到左揀既時候先知道結果。湊巧所有候選人都係憑住自己在2008年既演出入圍，佢地基本上在去年初爭到死死下，今次又唔知鹿死誰手。

第一位：Taraji P. Henson 《The Curious Case of Benjamin Button》
佢呢套戲俾觀眾睇到個樣同佢真人個樣爭好遠，佢呢個樣真係好似d專業既演員咁，佢唔算好出名，不過在荷里活黑人演藝界算係有少少影響力，因為大家都會為黑人演員爭取應有既待遇，而佢都算係專業演員，所以都算係舉足輕重。呢個角色飾演Benjamin Button既養母，當然佢戲份都唔少嫁，起碼會在佢個角色度睇到，甚至感受到偉大既母愛，對於佢演技既評價有幫助。
但係在另一個角度睇，佢只不過在一個平凡不已既母親，何況佢本身已是母親，好像對佢來說沒有大既突破。

第二位：Rosemarie DeWitt 《Rachel Getting Married》
對於一個只係演左十年戲既人來說，每一個提名都非常珍貴，佢可以算係唔好彩，因為大眾認為在2008年有剛好五位女配角比她出色，但係都無損佢在地影評協會拎獎。因為呢部戲，佢越來越受重視，佢做Kym既姐姐，一個將會結婚既幸福女人，一方面惦念自己既妹妹，另一方面又要容忍妹妹既野蠻和固執，佢精湛既演技，證明俾其他導演睇自己係識做戲既。
不過套戲算係有少少累左佢，因為唔算太好既題材，假如題材可以闊d，戲份相應多些少，佢個角色就去到公認既高水準。

第三位：Kate Winslet 《The Reader》
佢一向都被觀眾認為佢有演戲天分，在《Sense and Sensibility》之後，不斷繼續挑戰Academy Awards，憑著好多優質既演出，終於俾佢在2008年拎到影后，一洗頹氣。佢就係憑呢部戲拎影后，但係我睇完套戲，我覺得佢只係屬於女配角之列，不過佢可以話係五位較為稍稍領先既一個，唔係因為佢肯露全相，而係佢演內心戲既效果實在好好，即使與新晉演員合演、做對手戲，都難唔到佢，所以勝算高少少。
佢在片尾演出其實冇開頭咁凌厲，令我懷疑佢既演戲持久性，是否不能配合電影所需既要求呢？

第四位：Amy Adams 《Doubt》
我在睇呢齡戲之前，冇睇過佢演其他戲，所以我對佢既印象都唔差，我覺得佢有一樣野好神奇，佢已經過左三十幾歲，但係我以為佢仲係廿歲出頭既青春少艾，佢星途唔錯，唔係有發揮既就係商業片，我相信佢既吸金能力都有番咁上下。佢在呢部戲既角色做一個修女，一個品性善良，但又不甘被學生欺負既修女，佢既堅決眼神、肯定表情同埋言談，真係同想像中既角色如出一轍。
不過唔知點解，佢好似睇落去好弱咁，可能因為年紀關係卦，但係都唔影響評審。

第五位：Viola Davis 《Doubt》
佢真係有唔錯既實力，因為佢只係短短出左鏡十二分鐘，就可以足夠提名最佳女配角，我都覺得佢做得唔錯，咁都證明左即使戲份唔多，但係只要show到自己既演技，都唔會被觀眾忽略。佢都係靠呢套戲打開知名度，同時佢又係黑人演員，當然會有少少與別不同，佢呢個母親角色都算冇搵錯人來演。
不過佢戲份真係少左d，對佢角逐獎項來說，真係有唔細既影響。

Honourable Mentions：
1.Tilda Swinton 《The Curious Case of Benjamin Button》
佢雖然出鏡時間短，但係做Benjamin Button初戀情人都好貼切，我都覺得佢幾有演藝細胞，不過其他演員太強，冇辦法。
2.Debra Winger 《Rachel Getting Married》
做Kym媽媽，當然唔容易，呢位演員揣摩呢個角色得幾恰當，不過唔係太charming，無提名都唔出奇。

Julie & Julia---茱莉對茱莉亞─隔代廚神"另一部由傳奇Actress擔正既電影"

Meryl Streep近四部戲有三部都是喜劇，而每次既演出都為佢帶黎唔少既名利，佢先後憑《Doubt》及呢部《Julie & Julia》入圍上屆及今屆既奧斯卡影后，同時另外兩部《Mamma Mia!》和《It's Complicated》都是金球喜劇組影后既候選。而《Julie & Julia》雖然整體上唔算大製作，但係就主要以Meryl Streep做骨幹，足以吸引唔少觀眾入場。其實近幾年Meryl Streep做既戲都唔會話有好既評論，最好既已經係《The Devil Wears Prada》同埋《Doubt》，佢既星途好順利，即使部戲既影評唔係太好，佢仍然係鶴立雞群，演出備受讚賞。Amy Adams今次有d亂黎，如果唔係有Meryl Streep傍住，佢都真係會做得好差，睇番佢《Doubt》既演出，簡直係判若兩人。個劇本其實都唔錯，可惜情節略為平淡，假若能夠加重強調角色既內心戲以及情節既鋪排，應該都唔會差得去邊。評分：

Doubt---聖訴"Meryl Streep另一演技之作，同劇主要演員配合得宜"

幾經艱辛，終於睇完呢齣《Doubt》，其實呢部戲曾經俾我覺得好悶，所以冇乜抽時間睇，點知原來好既演員做套感覺上好悶既戲都會十分好睇，雖然劇情係時光倒流式，任何角色都唔係話太突出，不過就因為個劇本係講一d平時少拍既topic，眾演員只要做出感情戲便已經恰到好處，冇需要靠其他特別修飾，所以呢套戲係舊年Academy Awards入面囊括最多演技獎提名。各個演出既單位，無論係荷里活有名巨星，抑或係一d綠葉既，整體湊合起來好夠feel，完全冇話邊個搶戲。Philip Seymour Hoffman所飾演既仁慈牧師，內心戲交得超正，即使自己被懷疑而被定罪，都做到自己好似奸咁，唯一煩惱既係佢主配分得唔清楚，唔知俾佢入男主角定男配角好。Meryl Streep既多疑修女角色，在去年為她贏得多個影評學會及演員工會既女主角獎，演技無庸置疑，佢既表情同性格都幾配合個角色。仲有其他好既角色，都不能盡錄，不過不得不提既係Viola Davis既演技，即使只係出鏡好少時間，佢仍然好專業地做好本份，適當發揮自己，因而為佢拿下演技生涯下第一個Academy既Nomination(最佳女配角)，我諗佢應該係在Penélope Cruz之後。值得一提既係，d小朋友既演出都幾好，唔知佢地大個左之後會唔會在呢行搵食呢？
