小三大計 Maggie's Plan (2015)

電影名稱：小三大計 Maggie's Plan
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：20 October 2016
觀看日期：27 October 2016
片長：98 Minutes
導演：Rebecca Miller
演員：Greta Gerwig

觀後感：
有時候在新聞報導上會看到內地經常發生感情糾紛的案件，正室和小三因爭奪愛人而大打出手，小三必然受盡千夫所指；同類事件發生在香港的話，通常會用離婚或者金錢去解決問題。很多享受齊人之福的人兄不會想想自己是否真的那麼極具吸引力，反正他們覺得只要沒有公開婚外情，這樣做也沒甚麼大不了，東窗事發時多道歉幾遍，還可以推卸全部責任給小三，筆者很看不起這種在保守社會風氣下培育的動物。故事圍繞著大學美術設計系教職員Maggie(Greta Gerwig飾)所發生，單身的她想生孩子，於是接受一名舊生的捐精。Maggie之後結識已婚作家John(Ethan Hawke飾)，John將自己正在寫作的小說給Maggie閱讀，他們相約定時碰面討論小說內容。Maggie進行授精過程時被John的告白打擾，他們開心愉快地結婚。三年後Maggie開始厭倦婚姻生活，她幾乎為了照顧三個小孩而放棄自己的人生，John只顧著寫小說卻忽略家庭，Maggie決定計劃安排John和前妻Georgette(Julianne Moore飾)復合。仍然深愛著John的Georgette答應Maggie依照計劃進行，二人的關係回到以前一樣，於是John向Maggie坦白自己最想和Georgette重新在一起。當John知道真相後離家出走，Maggie向Georgette打探他的消息，Georgette在閱讀John的作品後真情流露，最後她和John成功重修舊好，及發現Maggie女兒的親父原來是那位舊生。

Greta Gerwig是一位美國的女演員、編劇及導演，她被視為獨立電影派系Mumblecore的代表人物，這派系通常以低成本製作，講述年輕一代的人際關係，她透過演出及導演提升知名度，願望成為一個優秀的劇作家，代表作有LOL、Greenberg及Frances Ha。她有多年參與獨立製作的經驗，出色的表現受到業界不少人士的關注，因此她會得到更多演出的機會；她在電影中飾演的角色很貼地，很多人的日常生活都沒有甚麼大事發生，她運用適當的力度去演繹角色，配合電影帶給觀眾整體的感覺，展現現代女性的人生觀及解決問題的理智。她的下一部推介是Bergman Island，她在電影中飾演一名劇作家，當中會在島上和另一半發生爭執，她的演出應該能夠保持水準的，祝願她在下個月可以拿到小金人。

電影的故事很特別，小三Maggie的舉動在現實中，至少在華人社會是沒有很大的機會出現，她發現自己找錯了對象，並沒有草草離婚就算，反而協助男方重返以往美好的生活，可以說是一箭雙鵰。演員們的演出很有喜感，兩位實力派為電影增加了不少色彩，女主角在這樣的環境下發揮更自如。電影以輕鬆的方式說故事，教觀眾不需要為了感情或家庭生活觸礁而垂頭喪氣，最重要的是我們可以找到自己想要做的，在多方面取得平衡，才會有更豐富的人生體驗，Maggie是值得我們去學習的對象。

我們都是這樣長大的 Boyhood (2014)

電影名稱：我們都是這樣長大的 Boyhood
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：8 January 2015
觀看日期：8 January 2015
片長：165 Minutes
導演：Richard Linklater
演出：Ellar Coltrane, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke

影評：
我們都是自己人生的主角，我相信每個人都會有一個屬於自己而且獨特的故事，不過我們的記憶力有限，所以只會記得一些對自己有不少影響的事情，無論這些回憶是甚麼味道都好，我們仍然要繼續自導自編自演，把自己的那台戲演好。我們有時候總會想回到過去美好的年代，很多東西都不用牽掛，在無憂無慮的環境下生活。電影紀錄了一位男生從很小時候到大學時期的時光，作為觀眾的我們就像陪伴著他成長一樣。Mason Evans, Jr.(Ellar Coltrane飾)和他的姐姐Samantha(Lorelei Linklater飾)及單親的媽媽Olivia(Patricia Arquette飾)同住，他們舉家搬去休斯頓，以便Olivia完成大學學位及尋找工作。Mason Sr.(Ethan Hawke飾)是Mason Jr.和Samantha的爸爸，他到休斯頓探望兒女，並答應他們會多抽時間陪伴，Olivia也認識了一位新的伴侶Bill。Olivia帶著Mason Jr.和Samantha與Bill一家人生活，Mason Sr.亦會用週末的時間和子女相處，Bill後來變得嗜酒成性，以嚴厲的管治方法對待Mason Jr.和Samantha，Olivia為了子女決定離開Bill，到San Marcos生活。Mason Sr.在Mason Jr.和Samantha踏入青年期時經常見面，討論有關兩性關係、音樂及生活的問題。Mason Jr.不受新學校的同學歡迎，但開始吸引異性目光，Olivia開始授教心理學的工作，並和一位學生Jim情投意合。Mason Sr.再婚並誕下嬰兒，Olivia和Jim卻再次因為Mason Jr.而分開，Mason Jr.和Samantha則各自找到自己的伴侶。Mason Jr.高中畢業那年，經歷和女友分手、贏得州分攝影比賽的名次及學校獎學金，Olivia和Mason Sr.為他舉辦畢業派對。Olivia打算出售房子，Mason Jr.需要住在大學宿舍，Olivia因慨嘆時間飛逝而痛哭。Mason Sr.進大學後認識新朋友，開展他人生的新一頁。

Ellar Coltrane是一位美國的演員，他在演出這電影前，只演出過四齣電影：Lone Star State of Mind、Faith and Bullets、Fast Food Nation及Hallettsville，而且都是用他的本名Ellar Salmon；由於他大部分時間都是在家接受教育，所以在電影上映前都非常低調，沒有很多人認識。他在2001年被選中演出電影中Mason Jr.這個角色，在電影中他的變化最大，由小朋友到成人階段，他的演出就如在做自己一樣，不過他真的是跟著劇本去演出，我認為他的潛質很高。他的下一部推介是The Circle，他在電影中的角色並不是主角，但我很有興趣看他之後的演出會怎樣。Patricia Arquette在電影上的發展一向不太理想，相反在電視圈的名氣很大，特別是她在Medium的演出，作品有A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors、True Romance及Holes。她在電影中的演出得到廣大觀眾的讚賞，她踏實的演出很配合角色的定位，不過個人對她得到的掌聲比其他演員還要多有點意外，因為我覺得主要的幾位演員都表現得很出色。她暫時沒有電影計劃，而她的電視影集CSI: Cyber也即將完結，所以要看她的演出可能要稍等一下。Ethan Hawke的演藝經驗豐富，同時染指電影、舞台劇及寫作界，他的演出一向可圈可點，代表作包括Explorers、Before系列(Sunrise、Sunset、Midnight)及Training Day。他在電影的演出非常好，我很喜歡他的演繹，我認為他這個爸爸的角色很值得拿下最佳男配角的殊榮。他的下一部推介是Maudie，電影的主角是Sally Hawkins，他的演出也是值得追看的。

電影被視為本世紀的其中一部代表作品，因為導演前後用了11年的時間去籌拍這齣電影，而演員真正參與拍攝的天數只有45天，所以導演的構思及執行都很創新及到位。電影創造了歷史，主要演員們也共同貢獻自己給這部代表作，兩位年輕演員Ellar Coltrane和Lorelei Linklater的進步及成長在電影中都可以看得到，而兩位父母的演出更加精彩，其他配角的演出都剛好達到水平。電影的效果很簡單，就是要觀眾感受主角的成長，簡單的技巧更見導演的匠心獨運。有時候我也會回想以前讀書的愉快時光，這些都是屬於我珍貴的成長印記，你們記得也要好好保存這些成長印記，正如電影最後的對白：「不是我們佔有一個時刻，而是時刻造就我們」

影評：
大家有否聽過去年許志安的歌曲《情人甲》呢？我很喜歡這首歌，除了他動人的演繹外，這首歌的歌詞令人會有思考的功能。「但誰又會知，擔演主角之時，是當中哪一次」及「原來你我那些冤枉路，為最後遇見他」都清楚說明大部分人的感情世界是兜兜轉轉，初戀未必陪我們走到最後，最愛的又未必是身邊的那一位，人總是矛盾的。電影中的那對戀人雖然一起走過十多年的路，不過心中其實有很多關於對方的不滿，夫妻之道便在乎磨擦之間的遷就及對彼此的關懷。在上一集Before Sunset之後，Jesse(Ethan Hawke飾)和Céline(Julie Delpy飾)第二次走在一起，過了九年兩人已經是一對夫妻，也是一對攣生女的父母。他們四口和Jesse的兒子Hank渡過暑假後，所有事情回復正常，二位成年人繼續為事業打拼(Jesse是作家，Céline正躊躇憑否到法國政府打工)。在前往朋友家的途中，兩人好像一般家長一樣討論家裡的事情，如Céline和Hank的關係及Céline的工作去向等。當二人和朋友聚餐時，大家興高采烈地討論生活與愛情，朋友也知會他倆當晚的酒店安排，好讓他們二人世界。二人在途中回味當初認識和相處的軼事，到了酒店的時候他們便打算交歡，但因為一些瑣碎的小事而引起互罵，兩人並針對對方對現在及將來的不知所措而連珠炮發。最後Céline離開房間，並懷疑自己是否真正愛Jesse。Jesse此刻想辦法哄回Céline，並以婉轉幽默的手法向Céline解釋今晚所發生的事，Céline卻認為這種溝通手法根本不可能令他們的關係長久。Jesse便向Céline說愛她，但不知道她到底想從這段關係中得到甚麼，Céline聽後便繼續Jesse的笑話，兩人終於言歸於好。

Ethan Hawke是一位童星出身的美國演員，在15歲時已經參與電影拍攝。他參演的電影大約已多過三十部，除了Before系列及被提名Academy Awards最佳男配角的Training Day外，他的著名作品還包括Dead Poets Society及近期上映的The Purge。他在電影中的演出很配合角色的性格，這有機會與他自己編劇及連貫系列前兩集有關，事實上他的演出一點也不遜色。他的下一部推介是Boyhood，這是一部傳奇式電影，他是飾演某一時期的主角，感覺有點像The Curious Case of Benjamin Button的Brad Pitt一樣，不知道他的演出會如何。Julie Delpy真實年齡比男主角還大一歲，而且是法國人，不過她一點也不像。我以前看過她自導自編自監製兼自演的2 Days in New York，當時我並不覺得她的演技很精湛，現在回想起來她也是一個很厲害的電影人，參演過的作品包括Three Colors: White、2 Days系列及Before系列。她在電影中的演出我認為不是很差，但不知怎地我覺得男主角演得比她好一點點，但平凡角色加感情戲一向難演，因此也不能怪罪於她，可能她日後會很擅長飾演這類型的角色。她暫時未有電影的參與，但應該不需要等待很久便會有新的消息。

電影來到這由已經是第三集，在延續前兩集的故事同時，也要構思一點新的題材令故事順暢及具新鮮感。我記得這電影在上映期間有戲院曾推出過三部曲版本，好讓像我這些沒有看過前兩集的觀眾能夠明白整個故事的來龍去脈，不過我發現即使只看第三集，也不會有很多不明白的地方。故事的編寫功夫不錯，沒有太多的巧言令色，反而著重角色之間的互動，這是因為導演明白應該如何處理這一集的故事，電影的重心也很突出，所以很多舊觀眾或新的電影迷都不會認為這電影過份沉悶。半開放式的結局令人更容易細味故事的意思，同時也是對上兩集的一個不錯的總結(或者是暫告一段落)。他們的相處之道未必很正確，但對一些夫妻來說也算是一種很有效的溝通方式，最起碼加深對彼此的了解。

效果：8/15
