廣告牌殺人事件 Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

電影名稱：廣告牌殺人事件 Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
產地：英國 GBR 美國 USA
上映日期：18 January 2018
觀看日期：6 January 2018
片長：115 Minutes
導演：Martin McDonagh
演員：Frances McDormand

觀後感：
身為凡人的我們每天總有大小事情煩擾著，解決問題後新的難關又再出現確實讓人疲憊不堪。有些事情不是我們想解決就能完成，它在我們的人生可以纏繞一段很長的時間；執著換來的只有自己的受苦，不斷重覆記起問題所在，就算最後可以解決也花了很多時間及精神去處理，得到的又是甚麼？這齣電影是一個很好的人生哲學教材。居住在密蘇里洲Ebbing市的Mildred Hayes(Frances McDormand飾)經常想著被姦殺的女兒感到痛心，對仍未找出真兇一事耿耿於懷，於是向Red Welby(Caleb Landry Jones飾)租借三塊公路的廣告牌作出控訴。被直指矛頭的警官Bill Willoughby(Woody Harrelson飾)得到問題下屬Jason Dixon(Sam Rockwell飾)的支持，Hayes的做法惹來其他居民的不滿及滋擾，不過她繼續堅持展示廣告牌。Dixon濫用私刑傷害Welby和Hayes的同事好友，一直在怪責她的前夫Charlie(John Hawkes飾)也攜同新歡前來看過究竟。Willoughby抵受不住癌病帶來的煎熬而選擇輕生，太太Anne(Abbie Cornish飾)激動地將遺書交予Hayes；Hayes知道Willoughby其實很在意這宗案件，為他的死亡而感傷。行為衝動的Dixon被革職，他在警局內的時候被Hayes縱火導致嚴重燒傷，Willoughby在遺書中寄語他放下仇恨並學會去愛，他拿走Hayes女兒的案件進行調查。Hayes在經歷後學會放下以前失敗的婚姻，後來她和Dixon聯手打算對付案件的疑犯，在路程上二人卻表現出猶豫不決。

Frances McDormand是一位美國女演員，她崎嶇的成長路有助今天事業的發展，舞台劇的經驗更讓她累積演技；她是其中一位能夠獲得三個界別最高殊榮的女演員，鑑於她為人較敢作敢為，有部分同業並不太喜歡她，代表作有Blood Simple、Fargo及North Country。這個得獎的表現有很強的戲劇張力，而簡單的角色設定加深了演出的難度，而且這位母親並不是聲名顯赫的人物，她只能以搜集的資料揣摩角色的精要；筆者對她的演技不敢作出過多的評價，事實上她今次的演出很容易讓觀眾產生共鳴，得到的迴響已是意料之內。她暫時沒有下一部電影的計劃，得獎後的她也先要休息一下再繼續努力。

電影是一個原創故事，探討的議題十分廣泛，而且反映了美國當地正在發生的問題，就像向地方政府打了一巴掌；故事由尋找真相變成學會放下，這個轉變的設計是編劇的匠心獨運，也正是眾多觀眾不得不認同的地方：就算兇手被就地正法又如何？除了發洩心頭之恨外，已不能補救發生了的事實。演員們的演出十分精彩，Sam Rockwell給予他生涯中最好的表現，Woody Harrelson的演出同樣賺到不少讚賞，整體合作的爆發力超越了個人的表現。敍事性的電影一向不會使用太花巧的製作技術，因為故事才是感動觀眾的要素，再多的視覺效果也及不上一個精彩的劇情。作品提供了給觀眾反思的空間，也是一齣療癒系的創作，懂得放下才能讓人生活得更有意思及愉快，無謂的執著及堅持也只是浪費時間。

評分：
故事：48/50
演員：34/35
效果：12/15
總分：94/100

影評：
在一個商學院學生的角度，我們對身邊的事物都會加入商業元素作考慮，無論是時事的評論或是做自己決定的時候，不過我們也要顧及到當中的道德標準。就以香港電視不獲發牌一事為例，我一直都是無綫電視的支持者，翡翠明珠的劇集綜藝我都十分喜愛，直至近年這電視台發生很多風波，令其節目失色不少。我曾經對這電視台失去了原有的信心，但看見它自香港電視的參與努力求變，改善自己的節目，我個人非常欣賞電視台的改革。以前的必然轉至現今的能夠選擇，很多觀眾都對新的電視台抱著希望，我一直都想以持平的態度看這件事，但自己不知怎地對香港電視沒有甚麼好感。我同意提供更多選擇予消費者是加強市場競爭，也令市場變得更加健康。但我看到的是一眾市民盲目地把無綫電視厭惡而擁戴香港電視，在這過程並無比較過兩者所製作節目的吸引力，並過濾一切有關香港電視的壞聞，這對電視工業公平嗎？假如香港電視獲發牌，市民也盲目追求，它會變成未來的無綫電視嗎？然後又再加入一個競爭者，不停繼續循環嗎？我在這只想說我們要懂得尊重每一個團體，不是不滿意便迫他人就範，這個地方還是香港嗎？以上均是個人意見，也並無抹黑任何團體之嫌，只是對現今香港的失望。言歸正傳，Steve(Matt Damon飾)為能源公司和拍擋Sue(Frances McDormand飾)到了一個以農務為生的村落，說服當地的居民以低價把土地出售，讓公司在當地提取能源。Steve的市場營銷技巧十分出眾，理應可以很快說服當地居民，但在居民大會公投時一位當地居民提出有關環境影響的疑問後，一位不明來歷的環保人士Dustin(John Krasinski飾)開始進行反能源公司的行動。正當Steve遇到嚴峻困難的時候，他和Sue舉辦嘉年華會取悅居民，天氣卻跟他們唱反調。Steve後來收到Dustin造假的證據，經過一番斡旋後，他終於知道Dustin的身份，並得知公司的計劃。他在公投大會上把Dustin的行為公開，但並沒有繼續說服居民，Sue無奈地向公司報告，Steve留在村落中和自己的愛人一起生活。

Matt Damon是位熱衷慈善事業的演員，他的才華在他二十多歲的時候已被肯定，成名作Good Will Hunting不只向觀眾介紹他是一位優秀的演員，還是一位不可多得的編劇。他的著名作品有The Departed、Invictus及近期上映的Elysium。他在電影的演出很標準，觀眾看得出他主導電影的發展，但在發揮上並不特別出眾，只能說他的演出剛好及格。他的下一部推介為The Zero Theorem，電影題材和電腦黑客有關，他的角色是代表正義的，不知道他的演出會否給我們驚喜。John Krasinski是女演員Emily Blunt的丈夫，他的星途一般，較成功的作品是自導自編的製作Brief Interviews with Hideous Men。他一直較為著名的演出是The Office的Tim Halpert，偶而也會客串電影演出。他在這電影的演出形象鮮明，令人印象深刻，即使他的出鏡時間不是很多，但成功於電影中搶鏡，不過他其實可以加大力度把這角色演繹的。他暫時未有電影的參與，期望他可以接拍一些具挑戰性的角色。Frances McDormand憑Fargo奪得Academy Awards最佳女主角，她的演藝生涯標誌著她的成功。North Country及Almost Famous也是她著名的演出作品。她在電影的演員意外地得到觀眾的留意，原因在於編劇利用她作Steve的對比，而觀眾看到也同情她的遭遇，當然她精湛的演出有一定的幫助。她暫時有一部電視劇的演出，可能要再多等一會才能一睹她的風采。

電影雖然沒有很強大的效果作後盾，但電影的表達令觀眾產生很大的共鳴，即使這些情節看似不會在香港發生，其實香港市民一定對這種營商手法非常熟悉。謊言，我們每一個人都會說，一般人認為只要謊言不傷害別人，那便沒有很大的問題。我卻認為在甚麼情況底下都不宜說謊，與其設定一個陷阱讓別人揭穿自己，不如把事實大方說出，又或者不發表任何意見，這樣不是更好嗎？
