最後相愛的日子 Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017)

電影名稱：最後相愛的日子 Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool
產地：英國 GBR 美國 USA
上映日期：22 March 2018
觀看日期：26 March 2018
片長：105 Minutes
導演：Paul McGuigan
演員：Jamie Bell, Annette Bening

觀後感：
當藝人並不是一件簡單的事，工作上需要各種交際應酬之餘，連個人的生活也變成大眾茶餘飯後的話題，久而久之就會把雙面性格訓練出來，真實的自己也只好被埋藏。無奈現實是殘酷的，演藝圈講的是關係及形象，不是單純的一夥赤子之心就能成功，在面對挑戰時的各種手段也要有所準備，不然事業也不會長久的。這齣電影重現上世紀七十年代影星Gloria Grahame(Annette Bening飾)的忘年愛情故事，大膽地挑戰觀眾的接受程度。Peter Turner(Jamie Bell飾)是一位懷有理想的年青人，在偶然的機會下邂逅明星Gloria，二人的關係也進展得十分迅速。他們的關係沒有妨礙到事業的發展，畢竟那個年代明星的力量也算是很大的，但是兩人的家庭不太歡迎二人在交往的事實：Peter的家人認為二人無論在年紀及身份都有不少的差異，Gloria的家人卻覺得Gloria並沒有對感情事認真過，每段關係的對象都是比自己年輕的小鮮肉。二人沒有理會反對聲音下同居，Gloria發現自己患上乳癌，於是製造出軌的假象讓Peter離她而去繼續追夢，不想變成愛人的負擔。多年後Gloria在後台暈倒，Peter接她回家將她悉心照顧，最後Gloria在兒子接回家後不久便不敵癌魔去世了。

Jamie Bell是一名英國男演員，他跳舞的技能成功為他帶來第一個電影角色，父親才因為他對演戲的決心而放棄引導他任職宗教相關的工作。童星出身的他累積了很豐富的經驗，挑戰過不同類型的角色，在影壇上有一定的評價，代表作有Billy Elliot、Snowpiercer及Nymphomaniac。筆者看過他之前的演出，所留下的印象是他有不錯的外表，演技也不算是十分突出；不過他今次的表現實在是脫胎換骨，原因不在於角色的難度，而是他在角色上的情感投放，成為了這段愛情故事的包裝，觀眾也較能在他的視角上理解事情的發展。他的下一部推介是Rocketman，電影是樂壇大姑媽Elton John的傳記電影，他將飾演主角的音樂伙伴Bernie Taupin，筆者很看好這位具實力的演員，相信他日後會有不錯的演藝成就。Annette Bening是一名美國女演員，她出道時主攻舞台劇演出，其表現得到賞識獲邀參演電影，後來更著重在這一方面發展。她從來沒有得過Academy Award，很多觀眾為她感到不值，認為她多年來的精彩表演絕對有能力問鼎寶座，代表作有The Great Outdoors、American Beauty及20th Century Women。不論她的角色是甚麼，她的演出向來有很強的說服力，這種能力並不是大部分演員都擁有的；這次她飾演的是歷史人物，現代的觀眾對這個故事的背景及內容不是很熟悉，只能靠兩位主角的演出表達出來，筆者只能說她將角色的風韻掌握得很好，從熱戀期到病入膏肓也發揮得淋漓盡致，是本年度其中一個較出色的演繹。她的下一部推介是Life Itself，這齣電影屬於思考人生類的作品，講述一段年輕夫婦經歷的不同階段及相對的影響，她的角色是一名配角，筆者對電影的主㼵很有興趣，希望有機會可以在電影院看到它。

電影根據Peter Turner的自傳改編而成，讓觀眾更加了解這一段不為人知的明星戀愛關係，證明了年齡不是愛情中的障礙；筆者認為導演的處理手法不錯，電影沒有刻意強調忘年戀，試圖以角色之間的真實愛慕改變一般人對這種關係的保守想法，因此故事仍能保持一種悽美的感覺。兩位主角當然有很好的火花及個別演出，而配角的部分也沒有隨便了事，從而讓故事變得更為完整，可以說演員們都沒有白費心機。電影在畫面上的呈現有很強的藝術感，有效地突顯出感情關係中的實在感，有助演員給予更好的發揮。筆者最近有收看電視台的選秀節目，參賽者們都懷著一股熱血向目標前進，他們面對的是比平常更要現實的情況，因為演藝圈的生態多年來都沒有改變過，身為局外人的筆者也不便多說，所觀察到的就像大自然生存法則一樣：弱肉必會被強食，適者才可以生存。
