黃金花第2大酒店 The Second Best Marigold Hotel (2015)

電影名稱:黃金花第2大酒店 The Second Best Marigold Hotel
產地:英國 GBR 美國 USA
上映日期:19 March 2015
觀看日期:24 March 2015
片長:122 Minutes
導演:John Madden
演員:Judi Dench, Dev Patel

影評:
德國有一所大學推行了一項很有意義的計劃,只要學生和住在護老院的長者做鄰居,並花時間和他們相處,學費便會得到校方的減免。參與計劃的學生擴闊自己的眼界,並將自己的心思及時間給予長者們,而長者們透過學生也能與時並進,生活變得多姿多采。香港現行只有自願性的義工計劃,大多數以探訪老人院為主,我認為本地可引入這個計劃,讓時下的年青人透過回饋社會上的長者,體驗變得更加豐富及有意義。電影與上一集相若,講述一所在印度的老人酒店住客及東主的故事。Muriel Donnelly(Maggie Smith飾)和Sonny Kapoor(Dev Patel飾)計劃在印度開設黃金花第2大酒店,他們獲悉會有一名不知名的監察專員訪查該項目。住客Evelyn Greenslade(Judi Dench飾)和Douglas Ainslie(Bill Nighy飾)互有感情,但Evelyn卻突然得到不錯的工作機會,Douglas則想和Evelyn結伴渡過餘生。美國遊客Guy Chambers(Richard Gere飾)被Sonny誤以為是監察專員,意外撮合他和自己的母親。酒店順利開業及Sonny的婚禮圓滿舉行,但Muriel卻得知噩耗,她只好默默地給予一對新人祝福,並沉澱一下得知壞消息的心情。

Judi Dench是英國的殿堂級演員,她的演技是演藝圈中數一數二的,而且不是追名逐利的一群,實在令人非常敬佩,近年的作品有J. Edgar、My Week with Marilyn及Philomena。她在電影中的演出很內歛,當然發揮得不錯,只是今次群戲比較多,所以她的演出不算是特別。她的下一部推介是Tulip Fever,她的角色好像也是一位大配角,不過她之後會有更多的作品,所以影迷們不用等太久就可以看到她精彩的演出。Dev Patel是一位英國演員,他的印度血統幫助他晉升國際的舞台,近年的演出都獲得不少人的掌聲,作品包括Slumdog Millionaire、The Last Airbender及The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel。他在電影的喜感演出十分討好,觀眾多年來從他的作品見證著他在演技上的進步,相信他的前途一片光明。他的下一部推介是Lion,這齣電影是一個遠距離尋親的故事,而且是明年Academy Award的其中一部呼聲較高的作品,上映時我一定要入場支持。

電影其實不屬於典型的喜劇,故事主要講述各位老人家到了晚年需要面對的問題,相信年紀相若的觀眾觀後必定感同身受。演員們努力的演出,增添了電影的趣味,特別是Celia Imrie的演出令人印象深刻。我很喜歡電影的拍攝場景,小弟本身不喜歡以中東亞為背景的電影,但它的歌舞、喜感及劇情令人不會排斥,是一部能讓人放鬆的電影作品。長者們在他們年輕時對社會作出很大的貢獻,我們作為後輩的應該對他們多加尊重及關心,至少可從自己身邊開始踏出第一步。

回到最愛的一天 About Time (2013)

電影名稱:回到最愛的一天 About Time
產地:英國 GBR 美國 USA
上映日期:3 October 2013
觀看日期:7 October 2013
片長:123 Minutes
導演:Richard Curtis
演出:Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy

影評:
大家好,小弟已經很久沒有更新過這電影網誌了,正當大家以為小弟可能因為某些原因放棄寫作時,其實小弟依然活躍電影院,而且還找了一份兼職。事實上並沒有很多人知道小弟會寫電影網誌,我已經盡了能力宣傳,不過我希望可以加快更新進度。在我回歸香港後的這段時期,小弟經歷了很多事情,剛好與今日介紹的電影有點關係。電影中以時空穿梭作橋段,假若後悔自己的決定或錯過時機便可以重頭再來,想起來有點像香港電影《西遊記》。現實生活中,我們無法返回過去及預知未來,對我而言每一個決定都是一次賭博,結果真的是意想不到。小弟回到香港後需要重新適應環境,努力找工作並且增磅,三年的瞹眜最終結束,然而身邊最愛的婆婆也到了很遠的地方,緊接著的是從低潮中重新振作,這一切都是我無法在台灣時預料會發生的。我很想再回到之前的時候,不讓美好的時光再次溜走。無論如何我也要繼續生活,所有的經歷改變了原本的我,但我仍要找到自己應有的生活方式。電影圍繞著一位英國男生Tim(Domhnall Gleeson飾)的人生,他與爸媽舅父妹妹同住,廿一歲生日時被告知擁有回到過去的能力,他爸爸(Bill Nighy飾)勸他不要用這異能賺取酬勞,於是他把能力用於愛情上。Tim喜歡上妹妹Kit Kat(Lydia Wilson飾)的朋友Charlotte,打算運用異能的Tim發現無論如何都不能勉強令Charlotte喜歡上自己。Tim及後到倫敦發展律師事業,得到爸爸的好友Harry幫忙,並偶然邂逅Mary(Rachel McAdams飾)。在兩次時光倒流後,Tim失去了Mary的聯絡方法,並重新認識Mary,兩人最後成為夫婦,並誕下孩子。Tim知道Kit Kat對自己的人生感到灰心,打算利用異能幫助她,但穿梭時空後發現自己的孩子變了樣,他爸解釋這是利用異能的後果,因此Tim和Mary幫助Kit Kat改變自己現在的生活。Tim的爸爸得了末期癌症,他也利用異能為自己延續生命,並學會欣賞生活中的事物,Tim在想念他時也會回到過去探望他。在Tim和Mary有了第三個孩子後,他便不能及沒有再見過自己的爸爸。

Domhnall Gleeson是著名演員Brendan Gleeson的兒子,二十歲左右已經在演藝圈工作,其俊朗的外型令他得到不少支持者。他曾經在Harry Potter系列中飾演衛斯理家族的其中一員,並成功憑這電影提高知名度。他在這電影的演出算是不錯,而且沒有很多領銜主演的情況下,他的表現是值得注視的,即使在飾演對手戲的時候也不會展現自己的不足,這證明他的基本功是很紮實的。他的下一部推介是Unbroken,他的角色發揮非常好,可能會在即將開始的頒獎季度看見他的蹤影。Rachel McAdams曾經在這裡被介紹多次,這位加拿大女演員在電視圈嶄露頭角後,憑The Notebook和Ryan Gosling的演出在電影圈打開知名度。她之後的演出包括Wedding Crashers、Sherlock Holmes系列及To the Wonder。她在電影的演出被譽為全戲最好的,我認為她對角色的掌握很有信心,而且和Domhnall Gleeson很有火花,不過我認為這與她之前的愛情喜劇角色差不多。她的下一部推介是Southpaw,這是一部著重男主角Jake Gyllenhaal的電影,不過作為女主角的她應該會有不俗的演出。Bill Nighy有很多演出經驗,是一位多才多藝的藝人。他參演過的電影有Love Actually、The Constant Gardener及Underworld系列。他在電影的角色是一位很出色的配角,雖然戲份並不算很多,但這類角色好像一般喜劇中的正劇角色,很容易便會有突出的表現,他也憑此演出獲得一些小型影評人協會的男配角提名及獲獎。他的下一部推介是The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,這續集與上一集的劇情應該有相當的聯繫,我相信第二集應該可以繼續乘勝追擊。

很多人會把這電影與幾年前的The Time Traveler's Wife比較,女主角也屬於同一人,但這電影的處理手法相對更優秀,劇情方面更容易把感情融入觀眾的情緒,而效果上也做得更仔細。然而,這電影在主線的敍述上帶出不同的人生道理,做法也非常恰當。我也希望藉這電影令記住這段時期的自己,提醒自己保持正面的思想,迎接未來的挑戰。

故事:41/50
演員:27/35
效果:7/15
總分:75/100
