Who Wins? Brad Pitt, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood
在小弟第一次聽到此齣電影的中文譯名的時候，我以為電影會與這座塔有關。不過，在我看完之後，姑勿論內容是否和這地方有關，我的第一個感覺是抽象，故事主要分為三個不同的情節，不過人物角色互相有關係，我亦不會在此講得太詳細，情節便留待讀者自己欣賞。這一套電影雖然在Academy Awards有不錯的成績，但卻被批評這是史上其中一套過譽的電影，小弟認為過譽一詞有點不盡不實，《Babel》在電影的技術層面上和劇情上都屬中上水準，只不過比《Titanic》遜色罷了。
小弟一向十分看重電影中演員的表現，假若演員做得好，那說故事就能事半功倍。電影今次沒有刻意把重心放在某一兩個角色，所以觀眾可以看待每一個演是主角，又或者是配角。美國夫婦Brad Pitt及Cate Blanchett在感情上有不少的波折，但因為妻子被男孩以鎗擊傷，兩人的隔膜便突然消失，同心合力度過難關。Brad一向都以型男形象見稱，但近年則集中火力轉型到實力派，憑另一齣與Cate合作的電影《The Curious Case of Benjamin Button》候選影帝。至於Cate亦是以優秀演技著名，並且曾經角逐多次Academy Awards的演技獎項。兩人在今次的演出其實很令人信服，可惜戲份太少。而其他的演員亦不容忽視，包括飾演導遊的Mohamed Akhzam、保姆的Adriana Barraza、保姆親戚的Gael Garcia Bernal、兩位犯罪的孩子及日本啞女子Rinko Kikuchi，全都演得十分寫實自然。
電影所使用的剪接技巧十分精密，導演的功架亦值得一讚，不過觀眾可能不會明白當中抽象的意思，從而令電影變成一齣毫無意義的劇情片。
評分：
啱啱睇完呢部戲，應該會寫到第一身感受。之前聽人講呢套戲睇到尾會好感動，d人全部都話會有眼濕濕既感覺，但係唔知點解，我睇完之後，一d想喊既感覺都冇，只係覺得呢部戲帶出一d好簡單既訊息罷了。不過，佢利用詳盡既表達觸動每一位觀眾既心靈，不多不少，恰到好處既手法就令觀眾十分欣賞。
呢部戲雖然唔係賣演員班底，但係主要演員既來頭全部唔細。男主角Brad Pitt憑著呢部戲首次踏足影帝提名人之路，在戲中由老到嫩逆轉地演繹自己特別多變既人生，但原來有d老同埋嫩既戲份都唔係佢可以拍得到，淨係呢個角色，都應該搵左大約五六個演員幫佢；女主角Cate Blanchett係第七十九屆oscar女主角兼女配角提名人，演技有番咁上下，睇落又真係唔錯，希望佢既努力會換到一天既成功。
原本呢part應該係總結，但因為上面唔夠位，所以借埋呢度做演員評論。當中有不少既配角都幾耀眼，唔會齋俾兩位主角一枝獨秀，例如飾演Benjamin養母既Taraji P. Henson，飾演Benjamin初戀情人Elizabeth既Tilda Swinton等等，都表現到自己踏實自然既演技，完全保持到前一輩演員既水準。
