觀後感：
國家間的政治不是我們常人可以理解得到，雖然有時候一些政策或手段會影響生活，但是百姓們也只想有安居樂業的景況；筆者一直以來對政治沒有很大的興趣，現在也只會簡單地留意世界大事，見證著國家與國家的競賽，而各國政府使用的手法不也見得是光明正大的，這種政壇上的黑暗最好就是盡量遠離。電影中的女主角Dominika Egorova(Jennifer Lawrence飾)因為一次受傷而獲叔叔Ivan(Matthias Schoenaerts飾)推薦加入國家間諜的工作，身不由己的她卻運用這種黑暗手段進行報復。中情局特工Nate Nash(Joel Edgerton飾)在一次行動中險些暴露俄羅斯綫人Marble的身分，他獲派往匈牙利繼續聯絡Marble；Dominika受訓完成後收到指示引誘Nate，從而調查Marble的真正身分。Nate很快便洞悉Dominika的用意，她提議協助Nate取得俄國的機密資料，後來一次失敗的任務使Dominika被俄羅斯當局嚴刑拷問；事後Dominika返回匈牙利目睹Nate被俄國暗中派人逼供，她捨命救回Nate的性命，並得知Marble的真實身分。Dominika利用這個機會向當局訛稱Ivan就是那位綫人，報復他當年設局招攬她成為間諜，事成後她和媽媽居於俄羅斯，繼續秘密服務美國中情局。

Joel Edgerton是一位澳洲男演員，畢業後便投身演藝圈發展，很迅速便獲得到美國演出的機會；幾年前他完成第一部處男導演作品The Gift，同時在演出上也得到不少有發揮的角色，代表作有Race the Sun、The Great Gatsby及Loving。他不是那一種很有明星效應的演員，多年來的表現雖然不錯，可是卻沒有走紅的份兒。他在電影中的間諜角色很適合他的形象，剛強的性格是他在銀幕上常見的一面，筆者認為這一次對他而言的挑戰不是很高，而加入的愛情部分更看不到甚麼特別，整體來說他的演出給女主角比了下去，很難令觀眾留下深刻印象。他的下一部推介是Boy Erased，這齣由他執導的作品涉及宗教跟同性戀等議題，筆者覺得可以帶給觀眾一些新的角度去思考LGBTQ及生活等問題，期待電影在香港的上映排程。

電影改編自同名的小說，涉及雙重間諜等政治敏感的題材，而故事也刻畫出俄國政府的貪腐及兇殘；故事以女主角自強保家的情節為表面的主軸，愛情線更是有點莫名，目的就是讓愛國者們貶低他人來突顯自己。Jennifer Lawrence的表現有明顯的改善，一洗之前連續的表演頹風；筆者則較欣賞Matthias Schoenaerts，他的獨特表演配合到電影沉重的氣氛，他是演藝圈的可造成材。電影透過攝影及場景設計製造神秘的氛圍，強調間諜活動的危險性，引起觀眾想去了解女主角的下場會是怎樣。每個國家為了自身利益使出各式各樣的手段，是當今世界政壇上的風氣，某些國家更不惜打壓自己的人民以滅去反對的聲音；一個國家要用這種高壓手段去剝奪子民的自由意見，這與傳統的帝王制度非常相似，可笑的是當文明隨著時間進步的同時，我們又逐漸倒退到最初的起點，而高高在上的那群人卻感到自豪不過。

太空潛航者 Passengers (2016)

電影名稱：太空潛航者 Passengers

上映日期：22 December 2016
觀看日期：23 December 2016
片長：116 Minutes
導演：Morten Tyldum
演員：Chris Pratt

觀後感：
我們居住的地球有越來越多問題出現，人類的過度開發帶來大自然的控訴，全球暖化已非一日之談，美國總統更不願意為全球的環保事務貢獻一分力量，有失大國的風度；資源的有限性吸引了各國為了爭奪而展開不同形式的紛爭，為平民百姓的生活造成威脅；世界各地的科學家一直研究其他行星孕育生命的能力，以解決地球衰老的問題，電影也利用了這個說法去發展情節。一艘載有超過5,000人的補空船正駛往另一行星；歷時120年，所有人會先在私人空間休眠，在差不多抵達目的地時才會甦醒過來。Jim Preston(Chris Pratt飾)在30後因機件失靈而被喚醒，他發現全艘船只有機械人調酒師Arthur(Michael Sheen飾)的陪伴，他在絕望之際留意到作家Aurora Lane(Jennifer Lawrence飾)，他在再三考量下決定喚醒她作為自己的同伴。Aurora知道自己無法回到休眠狀態，便決定接受並寫下自己的體驗，後來她和Jim日久生情成為愛侶。Jim後來透過Arthur向Aurora坦白當日的舉動，Aurora認為Jim傷害了自己的生命，他倆自此斷絕來往。機件故障的情況再度發生，船務主任Gus Mancuso(Laurence Fishburne飾)被喚醒後嚴重受傷，他發現太空船開始出現嚴重的性能問題，在臨終前拜託Jim和Aurora協助修補船上的缺陷。他們用盡辦法維修太空船，Aurora開始明白到Jim當日孤單的滋味，她沒有再對Jim感到生氣，就算之後有機會讓她進入休眠狀態，她選擇和Jim共度餘下的時光，讓自己活得更精彩，完成了當初計劃寫作的那本小說。

Chris Pratt是一位美國男演員，他年輕時有不少個人經歷讓他成長，加入演藝圈初期的他並不是很進取的演員，他的角色總是嬉皮笑臉的男生，後來他認真看待自己的工作，為了演出而調整自己的體型，後來更參演不少賣座的商業片，代表作有The Extreme Team、Guardians of the Galaxy系列及Jurassic World系列。這是他近年發揮機會較多的角色，背景設定的複雜性讓他能夠更容易做出令人滿意的表現；他在電影中的演出只屬一般，全靠Jennifer Lawrence的對手戲才讓他有一些較好的發揮，他的獨腳戲沒有甚麼可取的地方，觀眾無法投入他身處的困境，筆者對他的演出感到失望。他的下一部推介是The Kid，這齣電影已進入後製階段，相信很快就會在美國上映，不過筆者對他的演出不是很期待。

電影是一個原創的科幻故事，導演Morten Tyldum一直很想參與由男角主導的科幻電影，電影的效果卻以愛情元素為主，與導演本身的想像大相徑庭。電影只有五個演員，兩位主角的火花也不錯，女主角的演出仍然未見有顯著的進步。電影在電影技術上有高於水平的表現，太空船的設計及置身於太空的場景是電影在視覺上較有看頭的地方，不過電影的劇本過份薄弱，導致重心由科幻轉移至愛情，無法說服觀眾將故事設定在太空船的選擇，筆者也覺得有點兒匪夷所思。無論地球將來變成怎樣都好，它始終是我們真正的家，身為地球的一份子，我們應該做的是保護及愛惜它，而不是繼續摧殘破壞，然後在得到利益後不肯負上責任，政客們在這方面應該要把隔閡放下，團結一致去拯救這個被我們弄病的星球。

驚心孽緣 Serena (2014)

電影名稱：驚心孽緣 Serena

片長：109 Minutes
導演：Susanne Bier
演員：Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence

觀後感：
很多已婚人士都會渴望擁有一段美滿的婚姻生活，彼此相親相愛，經常維繫到感情的交流；不過這段路程通常都會出現不同形式的誘惑及考驗去試探婚姻的堅固，近代普遍的婚姻觀念更演化到「合則來，不合則去」的階段，很多人第一次結婚時因為霎時的愛火或小孩而決定組織家庭，過了幾年後才發現相處方式不磨合而分開，一紙婚書的象徵變得不太重要。筆者在這方面是較傳統的人，找對象時是可以和不同的人去互相了解，確定關係後便要一起努力經營及培養感情，而神聖的婚姻是應該找到一個適合的人選才作決定。電影的兩位主角是深愛著對方的，但他們根本不應該太快以婚姻束縛著彼此的關係。伐木主管George(Bradley Cooper飾)和Serena(Jennifer Lawrence飾)一見鍾情後閃婚，Serena跟隨George到伐木地區生活。Serena的控制慾開始浮現，George的同事對她開始產生恐懼，她卻繼續教唆George遠離一些不服從她的人。George對私生子及其母親有責任感，暗中提供金錢上的援助，Serena不知情但覺得二人是她的威脅，及後她因意外而導致小產及不育，令她嫉妒的心日益壯大。George的一名下屬忍受不住Serena的傲慢及控制，他決定向警長告發George的惡行，可是Serena洞悉先機，順利取回遺失的證據。接著Serena要對付George的私生子和其母親，當有無辜的人被害死後，George憤怒得離家出走。他安頓好兒子及其母親後，在狩獵的時期被黑豹殺死，Serena得知消息後在家中放火自殺。

Bradley Cooper是一名美國男演員，不少和他合作過的電影人都認為他真實的性格跟銀幕上的形象很不一致，工作時的他會配合角色及場合的需要而調節自己的情緒及性格，幕後的他是一個很認真內歛的人，近年的作品有Silver Linings Playbook、The Hangover系列及American Hustle。他在電影中飾演一個非常陽剛的角色，可是他的發揮不太理想，假若不是他有一張俊俏的臉孔，這個角色是一點看頭都沒有，他沒辦法演繹出角色所產生的心理變化及對Serena應有的感情，筆者繼Joy後再次對他的演出感到十分失望。他的下一部推介是A Star Is Born，這一齣由他自編自導自演的作品邀請到樂壇天后Lady Gaga擔綱演出，這部重拍電影即將在下半年上映，觀眾可以見證他處男執導作的成績。Jennifer Lawrence是一名美國女演員，小時候媽媽的家教十分嚴格，因此她成為女生中較突出的一個，她演戲的天分自小被培養，青年時期已獲得演藝圈的賞識，後來更成為Academy Award史上第二年輕的最佳女主角得主，近年的作品有The Hunger Games系列、American Hustle及X-Men系列。她在電影中的表現得到不少影評人的讚賞，筆者對她得到的評價有所保留；她早前的表現的確很優秀，但她在這部電影中又再使出嚎哭的場面，筆者覺得她的演技停留在一個位置上，很難有更突破的發揮；她在電影中在處理角色控制慾方面是游刃有餘的，不過情感上的處理變成了她演出的敗筆之處。她的下一部推介是Bad Blood，她再次飾演傳記類電影，這次應該較偏向劇情片的方向，相信她又會再成為影評人的寵兒了。

電影改編自同名小說，觀眾可以看到經濟蕭條時期美國的情況，故事發生的一連串事件盡顯女主角對生活所要求的佔有慾，她的丈夫也順應她的意思，有點不符合當時男尊女卑的狀況。演員們的表現較為生硬，與電影的感覺格格不入，對觀眾而言也是頗辛苦的。電影的場景設計有點過時，好像是一部在八十年代製作的電影，整體感覺不合時宜。真心愛一個人是不應該要求對方為自己做些甚麼，過份的控制只會帶來反效果，更會令人忘卻當初愛的感覺，大家千萬不要學Serena一樣傷害身邊最親愛的人。

觀後感：
香港時間今天早上舉行的金球獎已經曲終人散，首先筆者在這邊恭喜各個得獎人，他們在過去一年的努力得到HFPA的認可，每年的得獎名單都會有不少驚喜，而得獎者演講辭則有著引發他人思考的作用。在競爭激烈的頒獎季度裡，像筆者這些影迷最喜歡追蹤得獎名單，然後再猜測一下Academy Award的提名名單，這就是每年初很有趣的工作。Meryl Streep今年為Cecil B. DeMille Award的得獎者，她在演講得獎感言的時候，一如以往都會是一些發人深省的說話，這一次她分享了當演員的責任，筆者變得更加喜歡這一位充滿睿智的演員。在演藝圈裡面，演員們落力做好自己的本分，並不只是為了贏到獎項榮譽，最重要的就是可以挑戰自己及為社會帶來正面的意義；這齣電影講的就是一位成功人士的故事。Joy Mangano(Jennifer Lawrence飾)的父母離異，自己的命運也一樣，有兩名小孩的她跟母親Terri(Virginia Madsen飾)、祖母Mimi(Diane Ladd飾)、兩名子女和前夫Tony(Édgar Ramírez飾)同住，Terri終日沉迷肥皂劇以逃避可悲的生活，只有Mimi和好友Jackie(Dascha Polanco飾)支持她發展事業。Joy的父親Rudy(Robert De Niro飾)認識第三任妻子Trudy(Isabella Rossellini飾)，Joy有了「神奇地拖」的構思，邀請Trudy出錢投資，她的姐姐Peggy(Elisabeth Röhm飾)也加入管理團隊。Joy得到電視台管理人員Neil(Bradley Cooper飾)的協助，在兩次嘗試後成功讓「神奇地拖」大賣，她的事業有了起色。Peggy的管理不善導致Joy失去了「神奇地拖」的專利權，她想盡辦法把事情的影響減至最少，並成功阻止奸商偷取屬於她的設計。幾年後，Joy成為了一名協助他人完成發明夢想的女商人，Jackie和Tony繼續當她的左右手，她也盡了自己的責任照顧家人。

Jennifer Lawrence已被筆者介紹過很多次，她是一位很成功的美國演員，年紀輕輕已有不少獎項的榮譽，其商業價值更加是演員中數一數二的，所以她獲得很多電影的邀約，作品有The Beaver、House at the End of the Street及Serena。她在電影中的演出只屬一般的水準，電影主要是她一個人在賣力地演出，角色所經歷的事情也很值得觀眾同情，只是筆者覺得她的表現並不突出，去年能夠入圍影后的她某程度上是因為去年的女主角競爭較弱所致。她的下一部推介是Red Sparrow，這是一齣涉及特務題材的商業片，以她現時的叫座力，筆者相信電影會有不錯的票房成績。Diane Ladd是一名美國很有資歷的女演員，年輕的時候深得觀眾的喜愛，近年則減少幕前的演出，代表作有Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore、Wild at Heart及Rambling Rose。她在電影中是其中一位較搶眼的配角，雖然她的角色在電影中段已經去世，不過其演出在觀眾的腦海中留下不少印象，筆者就是欣賞她不論戲份多少依然會盡情發揮的精神。她的下一部推介是The Last Full Measure，她的角色依然是一位小小的配角，也許她已過了拚搏的年歲，不過偶而參演一些電影也可以讓年輕觀眾對她有一點認識。

電影改編自真人真事，同時也是導演David O. Russell第四度和Bradley Cooper、Jennifer Lawrence兩位紅星合作的電影，這齣電影失去了Silver Linings Playbook的火花，樸實的風格反而顯得電影比前作更遜色。電影演員間有不少不錯的演出，如Virginia Madsen、Diane Ladd及Édgar Ramírez等，反而主角Jennifer Lawrence失去了不少光芒，Bradley Cooper的角色更加是大材小用，不知選角導演是否別有用心。電影最漂亮的一幕就是Joy在雪景下的鏡頭，不過整部影片並未充分利用各種技術效果豐富影片的藝術感，所以整體感覺都是平平淡淡的。金球獎的得獎名單也許對奧期卡有一些啟示，不過評審們都沒有投選Academy Award的資格，所以大家可以參考明天公佈的BAFTA提名名單，再作進一步的金像獎預測。

觀後感：
新的一年又來到，筆者想在此講一下感想。2016年對我而言是蠻特別的一年，好像自我開始讀大學開始，每一年都會有一些新的經歷，雖然我嘴邊經常自己年紀已經很大，事實上我經歷過的也只是人生的一小部分。去年我換了工作環境，在空閒的一個月裡會有一些自省的時間，感覺上自己的想法變得成熟一點；在人際關係上也算是差不多，多認識了一些新的朋友，同時也增進了一些交朋友的知識，我亦有機會去再了解清楚自己真正的想法；不過筆者最開心的是原來這個網誌一直以來都有大家的支持，這一點我真的是沒有想過的，畢竟筆者不是一位專業的影評人，這個網誌也只算是我自己一些電影觀後感的抒發；來年我一定會在各方面繼續努力，尤其是在寫網誌方面，希望自己的人生經驗會可以累積更多。這齣電影是整個系列的完結篇，筆者未有看過系列的任何一集，所以只能以一部普通的電影來寫。Katniss(Jennifer Lawrence飾)被失去理智的Peeta(Josh Hutcherson飾)攻擊後，她很想親自消滅Capitol的勢力，只是總統Alma Coin(Julianne Moore飾)因怕失去她而反對她親自上陣。Katniss偷走參與殲滅Capitol的團隊，他們需要避開Capitol所設下的陷阱。他的團隊失去了幾位要員，Katniss的死訊更廣被誤傳，生還者最後到了一間店舖暫避。總統Coriolanus Snow(Donald Sutherland飾)的家門外發生嚴重的襲擊，Katniss一度不醒人事；她清醒後親自譴責總統Coriolanus Snow，最後發現計劃全都是總統Alma Coin為了成全自己權慾的大陰謀。最後她殺死了總統Alma Coin，總統Coriolanus Snow也被反抗的民眾打死，Katniss和Peeta建立一個家庭，維持簡單的生活。

Jennifer Lawrence是美國一名當紅的女演員，在十四歲的時候被星探發掘，現年二十六歲的她已成為Academy Award的最佳女主角，同時借助演出商業片的力量，吸引不同年齡層的觀眾，她的作品有Winter's Bone、Silver Linings Playbook及American Hustle。她在電影的發揮當然不像她在奧斯卡電影中的演出，她比較擅長演繹角色的情感內心戲，不過筆者綜合她的演出，開始覺得無論她的角色是甚麼，演出有一點千篇一律的觀感，尤其是她幾乎每一部電影都會有近鏡的嚎哭鏡頭，有些人會覺得這是她的招牌，筆者則覺得她可以嘗試以不同的形式演繹不同的情感。她的下一部推介是Mother，故事講述一段出現問題的夫妻關係，筆者真的希望她可以有一些不同的表演。Liam Hemsworth是一名澳洲演員，較為人熟悉的是他們三兄弟(包括Luke Hemsworth和Chris Hemsworth)都是演員，筆者對這位演員的印象很模糊，因為他的哥哥Chris Hemsworth是比較有名的一個，而他的未婚妻是樂壇小野貓Miley Cyrus，演出的作品包括The Last Song、The Expendables 2及Paranoia。雖然上述劇情沒有介紹他的情節，不過筆者想介紹這一位演員讓大家認識；他在電影的演出並不是很特別，當然如果是筆者的話，我會替Katniss選擇這一個深情的他，這一集他已淪為一個發甚麼發揮的大配角，即使男主角的風頭都已被女主角完全蓋過。他暫時沒有電影的演出進行中，大家可以繼續欣賞他哥哥雷神的演出，以靜待這一位演員的新作品。

電影改編自同名的青少年讀物，整個系列都掀起追看的熱潮，Jennifer Lawrence也是靠這部電影成為一線的女演員；電影屬於烏托邦型的電影，某程度上這電影會帶起青年人的反抗精神，他們會思考現在的世界是否我們想像中那樣美滿，並以自己的行動去建造一個適合他們長大後生活的世界。電影的演員除女主角外以群戲為主，各自發揮到自己在電影中的作用，這也是商業片中較常見的演戲模式；筆者覺得演出商業片的目的主要為提升演員的知名度，以協助他們在圈內的發展。電腦特效、音效及佈景設計方面對電影起了很大的作用，打造一個虛擬的世界，不過整體也沒有太突出，證明電影主要以故事的追看性及女主角作為賣點。筆者對這一部電影沒有很深的印象，當初也是朋友的邀請才會直接看結局篇，不過就烏托邦類的電影而言，筆者始終較喜歡Divergent系列的第一集。

騙海豪情 American Hustle (2013)

電影名稱：騙海豪情 American Hustle
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：13 February 2014
觀看日期：5 February 2014
片長：138 Minutes
導演：David O. Russell
演出：Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence

影評：
在生活中我們遇到謊言的機會率有多少？我想幾乎每一天我們都會對其他人說謊或被其他人欺騙，但最重要的是謊言背後的動機是甚麼。小弟以前曾經承諾自己無論如何都不會說不真實的說話，就算到了關鍵時刻我只會沉默而不會妥協，這也是年輕的我和母親爭吵的其中一個題目。現在我已經沒有當時的堅持，但依然深信一種想法：無論謊言是怎樣，始終一天會給他人揭穿的。我並不太相信「白色謊言」的一套理論，因為這種謊言被發現後往往把被騙人傷得最深。現實中有很多說謊高手，若是給他們選中了我們根本不能防避，不過故事中的騙子卻聰明反被聰明誤。Irving(Christian Bale飾)是一名偽裝高手，和拍擋Sydney(Amy Adams飾)發展感情關係，但Irving不敢離開妻子Rosalyn(Jennifer Lawrence飾)，因為他們領養的兒子Danny及她對他作出向警察舉報的威脅。FBI探員Richie(Bradley Cooper飾)撞破Irving和Sydney的騙局，要求他們協助拘捕行動作釋放他們的條件，Sydney計劃趁機操控Richie，自救出險境。市長Carmine(Jeremy Renner飾)是其中一個目標，他想重建亞特蘭大城的賭博業以振興經濟，但在資金上出問題，Richie打算找出證據指證Carmine非法收受利益；他安排Irving及Sydney令Carmine上釣，並得到上司的鼓勵。Carmine起初不肯接受Richie的賄賂，經過Irving的勸告下，他倆成為好友以令行動得以繼續進行。Richie和Carmine出席一個賭博派對，發現了黑幫主要人物Tellegio(Robert De Niro飾)的蹤影，於是打算利用騙局把他拘捕，可惜Tellegio非常小心以致難關重重。Richie和Sydney產生好感，Rosalyn也因寂寞而出軌，Irving終於可以離婚，而Richie最後能夠拘捕黑幫集團。Carmine拒絕Irving和Sydney的幫助，兩人向警察講出真相：Richie在最後關頭進入了他們設的騙局；這令Richie永不翻身。電影結尾時Irving和Sydney能夠在一起，Rosalyn和新歡也在一起，並和Irving共同撫養Danny。

Christian Bale是著名的「蝙蝠俠」，在八十年代開始演戲的他，至今有不少繪炙人口的作品，而且得到的獎項也多不勝數，著名的作品包括Empire of the Sun、Batman系列及The Fighter。他在電影中再次以醜化角色演出，他是一位願意為電影作出大程度付出的演員，雖然角色不像他本人的形象，但他連性格及說話的語氣都模仿得很真實，他是非常適合演出這個角色並很出色及盡力地演出。他的下一部推介是Knight of Cups，這部愛情片有多位好戲之人如Cate Blanchett和Natalie Portman演出，十二月的時候應該會引起入場的熱潮。Amy Adams出道差不多十五年，意想不到的是她在意大利出生的，她的歌藝為她的銀幕旅途起了很大的作用，她的作品包括Junebug、Enchanted及The Fighter。她在電影的演出被譽為生涯中目前最佳演出，事實上她的演出令人眼前一亮，沒有人會想像她可以演出這類角色，而且把角色發揮得淋灕盡緻，畢竟她近年的電影演出一次比一次進步及更具挑戰性，她的成功是指日可待的，這次的演出也能證明她擔任主角的能力。她的下一部推介是Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice，她延續上次 Man of Steel的角色，英雄電影擁躉必定支持。Bradley Cooper是美國影壇的寵兒，近年逐漸遇向演技派的路途，現在的他已經沒有以前偶像的影子，代表作有The Hangover系列、Limitless及Silver Linings Playbook。小弟覺得他在電影的演出算是最暗淡的一個，沒有很多驚喜且比不上前作的大突破，他的提名令我知道明星的力量是如何強大，不過他的進步大家應該有目共睹，而且我認為他較適合演出劇情片，觀眾的共鳴會容易產生。他的下一部推介是Aloha，重回愛情喜劇片的懷抱，電影的娛樂性應該會挺豐富。Jennifer Lawrence是其中一位史上最年輕的Academy Awards Best Actress的得主，她的經驗只有數年，但演技的精湛受到業界的讚賞，知名的作品有Winter's Bone、The Hunger Games系列及Silver Linings Playbook。她在電影中是演得最好的一位演員，單看她的演出根本不會發現她只有24歲，戲份雖然沒有前作那麼主要及充分，但發揮依然沒有令人失望，這能引證她是懂得演戲的。她的下一部推介是The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2，這電影系列已來到最後一集，捧紅了不少演員，終結篇是一定不能錯過的。

電影是根據真實事件改編的，效果比預期理想，很多觀眾很喜歡這種懷舊時代的喜劇片，其新鮮感的確提高電影的水準。導演再次和熟悉的演員合作，擦出的火花是近年電影少見的，每位演員也很専業地把自己的本分做好。電影在效果上能夠營造到懸疑緊張的感覺，適當地運用剪接、美術及化妝等技術，令電影的整體水準更加提升。說謊及騙局屬於不同的層次，但箇中的結果都是一樣，不想做受騙的除了要反應力及敏感度高之外，最主要是保持自我，不要刻意高調向世人展示自己的所作所為，這樣便可避免成為目標。

失戀自作業 Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

電影名稱：失戀自作業 Silver Linings Playbook
產地：美國 USA
上映日期：28 February 2013
觀看日期：1 March 2013
片長：122 Minutes
導演：David O. Russell
演出：Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro

影評：

每個人都會經歷過戀愛的階段，無論是相戀、失戀、暗戀等，這些佔了我們人生一部分的時間。在不同的階段我們的心情都會不一樣，而且感情普遍都是非常脆弱，經不起外在因素的考驗。很多人對失戀或離婚都很快適應，不久便可忘記傷痛重新出發。不過有少部分的人卻不能抽離，因而作出不同的選擇。有的選擇以死結束感情，有的患了精神病，有的會傷害其他人的生命，把負能量更加深化。我想大部分人和我一樣都經歷過感情上的挫折，電影令觀眾們明白懂得放手的重要性。Pat Jr.(Bradley Cooper飾) 過了八個月在精神病中心的生活，返回家中回復正常。他和他的父母(Robert De Niro和Jacki Weaver飾) 一起居住，他發現他的父親進行非法賭博，但他最關注的是挽回和前妻Nikki的感情。他被禁止與Nikki接觸，原因和他被送至精神病中心一樣，他在發現Nikki出軌時把男方打至重傷。他一向認為自己不需要接受精神治療，但當他返回家中與父母同住時，他的反常行為令鄰居設訴。他在一次朋友的聚餐認識了Tiffany(Jennifer Lawrence飾)，兩人一見面便鬥咀，後來因為一場「交易」而成為好朋友。「交易」的內容是Pat要求Tiffany替他交信給Nikki，但他要當她在舞蹈比賽中的舞伴，兩人的關係也持續升溫。Pat後來在Tiffany手中收到Nikki的回覆， Pat因為出席父親所支持球隊的比賽而錯失了一次練習的機會，他亦因而遭受挑釁參與打鬥，Tiffany感到失望之餘也協助Pat的父親解決財政上的問題。他們最後成功達到兩個條件而取得巨額的款項，而Pat也發現Nikki的回信事實上是Tiffany自己寫的，並誠實地面對自己的情感，決定迎接新的戀情。

Bradley Cooper是被公認為型男演員，在2012年之前沒有人很仔細地硏究過他的演技，他亦主力在商業片發展。直到這電影的出現，觀眾也認為是他事業的轉捩點，他的演出開始被人欣賞。在電影業要吃得開，除了演技了得外，加上樣貌便平步青雲，Bradley Cooper算是當中的佼佼者。大家之前在Hangover trilogy看過他搞笑的演出，今次的劇情片演出令人眼前一亮。他在這電影的演出很精彩，可能在演技上並不是真的處於很高的水平，但由於劇本不錯以及觀眾會以他之前的演出作比較的關係，便會認為他的演技大躍進。我認為他的演出也算是去年最佳的演出之一，他省卻了耍帥的樣子，更加添了角色的味道。他的下一部推介是The Place Beyond the Pines，聽他的演出很搶眼，令我有不少的期待。他的片約亦不斷地增加，我想他總有一天會得到演出的獎項。Jennifer Lawrence戲齡只有七年，她的代表作是Winter's Bone，年僅十八歲的她已經獲得Academy Awards Best Actress的提名。這是我第一次看她的演出，我覺得這位演員是有演戲的天份，但電影的角色恰巧令她可以發揮她貼近真人的個性，所以很多觀眾都對她有好的評價。我認為她的演技是好，但並未至於影后的水平。她的下一部推介是Serena，她是接替Angelina Jolie的角色，又再一次和Bradley Cooper合作，但故事發生在古代，好像有點兒沒趣。Robert De Niro是資深的演員，電影作品多不勝數，而且演出的電影題材很廣闊。他雖然在電影中是一名配角，不過演出真的很不錯，在角色增添了不少喜感，我認為他的實力可以問鼎獎項。他的下一部推介為The Big Wedding，大堆頭式的喜劇片應該頗有趣的，很貼合他現今走的路線。

我認為Jacki Weaver的演出並未足以得到提名，但評審們愛屋及烏地把這榮譽送給這演員，她在電影的確是挺可愛的。電影的創意令我看得很投入，而角色演員的配合也很貼切，因此這是一部我可以向別人推薦的電影，希望大家都可以找到自己的真愛。
