最美麗的安排 Collateral Beauty (2016)

電影名稱:最美麗的安排 Collateral Beauty
產地:美國 USA
上映日期:22 December 2016
觀看日期:1 January 2017
片長:97 Minutes
導演:David Frankel
演員:Helen Mirren, Keira Knightley

觀後感:
我們的生命要靠很多的元素拼合而成才會變得有意義,喜怒哀樂甜酸苦辣,全部都是我們人生必經的階段;世界每天都在運行,絕不會因為個人的問題而停止,沉澱過後又要再投入日常生活,我們不會得到很長時間的喘息。電影強調了人生中三個重要的元素:死亡、時間及愛,給觀眾示範面對它們的方法。Howard Inlet(Will Smith飾)是一名廣告公司的管理層,他不能接受女兒的離世,導致他的生活習慣變得不正常,他的三個工作夥伴兼好友Whit Yardsham(Edward Norton飾)、Claire Wilson(Kate Winslet飾)及Simon Scott(Michael Peña飾)不忍心看到Howard目前的狀況,為了他個人健康及公司利益著想,他們聘請調查員找出Howard不適合管理公司的證據,調查員找到Howard的三封建,分別寫給死亡、時間及愛;他們找到三名演員Brigitte(Helen Mirren飾)、Raffi(Jacob Latimore飾)和Amy(Keira Knightley飾)去扮演死亡、時間及愛,以對話形式回應Howard的信件,調查員拍攝後用電腦技術刪走三位演員,便足以證明Howard的精神出現狀況。正在三位演員準備之際,Howard的好友們也需處理個人問題:Simon選擇獨自面對癌病、Claire想找一名合適的捐精者讓自己可以生小孩、Whit在婚外情過後很努力地和女兒修補關係。Howard和三位演員會談後,在支援小組上認識了同樣失去女兒的女子Madeleine(Naomie Harris飾),她因為事件和丈夫分開,在悲劇過後學會對別人無私的友善。後來他被三位演員的說話所刺激,翌日在公司開會時願意自動請辭,並感激三位好友所做的一切。與此同時,Brigitte勸服Simon向家人坦承自己的身體狀況、Raffi提醒Claire還有漫漫人生路、Amy迫使Whit和女兒重新溝通。Howard在平安夜探訪Medeleine,二人的夫妻關係在此揭示,最終他們繼續走在一起互相支持對方。

Helen Mirren是一名英國女演員,她是其中一名獲得演藝界三大獎項(Academy Awards、Emmy Awards及Tony Awards)的表演者,她飾演女皇的形象令人印象深刻,而她的演技源自於戲劇學院的指導及多年的舞台演出經驗,從影多年的她一直挑戰不同的角色,近期的作品有Woman in Gold、Eye in the Sky及Trumbo。她大部分的演出都會讓觀眾讚口不絕,頒獎季度常會看到她的演出被提名;她在這齣電影的演出雖說不上有任何特別之處,不過仍能達到筆者的預期,無奈的是電影獲得太多的負評,她的平淡演出未能有效地扭轉電影的劣勢。她的下一部推介是Anna,故事主要關於一位動作女英雄,她的角色暫時未有公佈,然而對觀眾而言她的參演已經是一個演技的保證。Keira Knightley是一名英國女演員,她的樣貌和Natalie Portman十分相似,年輕時累積不少演出經驗,長大後她的表現得到不錯的評價,她受訪時表示自己較喜歡參演歷史類型的電影,因為現代女性在銀幕上的展示不受尊重,代表作有Innocent Lies、Pride & Prejudice及The Imitation Game。她在電影中是一名戲份不少的配角,在一個支線故事上有重要的位置,筆者覺得她的外表加了不少分數,不過沒有好的發揮機會,只會浪費有才華的人,她就是這樣被薄弱的劇本白白浪費了精彩的演技,筆者只能說她不應該接拍這個角色,基本上她的演出沒有演技可言,導致效果極其突兀。她的下一部推介是The Aftermath,電影講述二戰後一對英國夫婦和一名德國男士的同居生活,她將會飾演妻子的角色,相信她應該會在自己喜愛的電影類型中有更投入的演出。

電影是根據編劇的夢境構想而成的,中心思想圍繞著人生的經歷都是最美麗的安排,我們都要學會怎樣去面對及學習;筆者認為電影的主題不錯,不過在執行上有一些奇怪的地方:故事有如四個人物的單元故事、到底三名演員是人是神、Howard又為何主動接觸Medeleine,情節上有很多不明所以的地方。演員們在電影中其實有不錯的演出,只是強差人意的劇本令故事發展紊亂不堪,所以削弱了他們的表現。Howard的主線相比之下十分薄弱及沉重,另外三位好友的支線相比之下更有趣吸引,很多觀眾看完電影後認為所表達的訊息有謬誤,筆者覺得在這方面是還好的,只是那三個元素好像和主角的悲慘經歷之間沒有關連,因此感覺真的很古怪。如果筆者改寫這個故事的話,可能不會刻意著重死亡、時間及愛的重要性,反而會刪減主角三位好友的支線,然後以Medeleine的視角平衡地講述事情的起承轉合,交錯的視角好像更能探討人生如何走出悲傷,最終也是要靠自己的意志力,去接受死亡、讓時間沖淡傷痛及重新學會去愛。

珠峰浩劫 Everest (2015)

電影名稱:珠峰浩劫 Everest
產地:英國 GBR 冰島 ISL 尼泊爾 NPL 美國 USA
上映日期:1 October 2015
觀看日期:18 September 2015
片長:121 Minutes
導演:Baltasar Kormákur
演員:Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin

影評:
The Amazing Race是筆者最喜愛的電視節目之一,參加者除了不用付錢便可以到世界各地進行比賽外,在過程中還可以試驗與同行者的關係及挑戰自己的極限。我們很多時候看似理性分析任務的難度,然後便會堆砌一些原因去逃避,這些都是我們的恐懼作祟所導致的。筆者雖然暫時沒有挑戰過不可能的任務,可是具冒險精神的我認為人生起碼要把握機會去嘗試,不然人生好像變得沒有甚麼意義。電影中的攀山者都是朝著同一目標去邁進,挑戰自己的能耐,只是結果並沒有全部都很順利。在90年代,喜瑪拉雅山探險團非常流行,Rob Hall(Jason Clarke飾)和Scott Fischer(Jake Gyllenhaal飾)是兩間不同公司的團長。Rob的團員有:資探攀山者Beck Weathers(Josh Brolin飾)、派信者Doug Hansen(John Hawkes飾)和日本女士Yasuko Namba(Naoko Mori飾)。眾人在協調下征服喜瑪拉雅山,不過Beck和Scott的身體上出現問題而延誤了登頂時間。在折返的途中,眾人遇上暴風雪,Doug在Bob的協助下仍然命喪,Beck、Scott和Yasuko則滯留山上。Bob被困山上無法前進,在失去知覺前成功和懷孕的妻子Jan(Keira Knightley飾)通訊;Scott和Yasuko也抵受不住而死於山上;Beck奇蹟地獨自走到救護站,成功保命的他在身上有多處變成殘障。

Jason Clarke是一名澳洲演員,經過多年的努力後,輾轉間遷至美國發展演藝事業,作品有Public Enemies、Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps及 Zero Dark Thirty。他在電影的演出很平穩,表現出的感覺十分沉重,觀眾可以感受到他身在遠方的無助,演出水平算是不錯。他的下一部推介是Mudbound,他是兩大男主角之一,以他的演技應該可以很容易去處理這個角色。Josh Brolin是美國演員,他的演出經驗很豐富,在不少的電影中都有亮眼的演出,代表作有No Country for Old Men、Milk及Inherent Vice。他在電影的演出也是很精彩的,筆者覺得他是一位戲路很廣的表演者,無論角色的性質是甚麼,他都可以柔韌有餘地演繹,提升電影整體的演出水準。他的下一部推介是Granite Mountain,電影是一齣輕型的災難片,有為觀眾帶來希望的作用,他的演出也應該是令人滿意的。

電影依照歷史真事改編而成,看得出編導也盡量將當時的情況呈現觀眾的眼前,觀眾又再次體驗到大自然的壯觀及危險,這算是一部不錯的劇情災難片。演員們的演出十分精彩,無論是主角或是配角,每個人都可以加強劇情的張力,是近年難得的最佳整體演出。電影在效果上花的功夫也不少,務求令觀眾有置身其中的感受,同時配合劇情的發展,增添電影的藝術感。如果有機會的話,筆者也想到世界各地不同的地方挑戰極限運動,相信會有另一番的人生經驗。

解碼遊戲 The Imitation Game (2014)

電影名稱:解碼遊戲 The Imitation Game
產地:美國 USA
上映日期:26 February 2015
觀看日期:4 March 2015
片長:114 Minutes
導演:Morten Tyldum
演員:Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode

影評:
台灣金鐘獎頒獎典禮在上星期六完滿結束,視帝視后分別由《一把青》的吳慷仁及《必娶女人》的柯佳嬿奪得,他們兩位演員在演藝路上走得不是很容易,所以是值得鼓勵的;但當中的焦點莫過於另一位得獎人李天柱發表的反同感言,這番言論引起了演藝圈及台灣民眾的關注及強烈回應,認為李先生的言論有排斥同性戀者的意圖。現今社會宣揚接受不同價值,即使個人立場與他人不一樣,我們也要尊重別人的選擇;不過在以前同性戀會被視為一種敗壞風氣的行為,並且還算是一種罪行。電影講述數學家Alan Turing的故事,除了敍述他創造成就的過程,還展示他的性取向為他帶來的影響。電影的開端以Alan Turing(Benedict Cumberbatch飾)被補調查後,由他親自敍述之前的經歷。在讀書時期,一位名為Christopher Morcom(Jack Bannon飾)的男生幫他出頭,並介紹年輕的他(Alex Lawther飾)接觸解密學,在二人關係有進展的時候,Christopher因病離世而令Alan Turing留下深刻的創傷。長大後司令Alastair Denniston(Charles Dance飾)安排Alan Turing參與一項由Hugh Alexander(Matthew Goode飾)帶領的密碼破解任務,他獨自研究一台機器用作破解密碼,得到首相Winston Churchill的資金支持後,領導包括Hugh等同事的隊伍繼續研發工作。隊伍需要招募新成員協助工作,Joan Clarke(Keira Knightley飾)因而加入,命名為Christopher的機器也終於面世,不過解密效率相對較慢。Alan Turing為了Joan Clarke可繼續留隊而提出求婚,之後他們更找到密碼的玄機,成功有效運用機器解密。英國秘密使用該機器,以免其他國家產生懷疑,Joan Clarke更被誤為間諜,Alan為了保護她而坦白自己的性向,不過她依然留在他的身邊。整個隊伍被要求保守秘密,直到現在被調查才說出真相,最後他選擇接受化學治療,他的餘生也活在痛苦中,並選擇了輕生這條路。

Benedict Cumberbatch是一名很有才華的表演者,他參與電影、電視劇及舞台劇的演出,近年因為飾演Sherlock Holmes而人氣高企,同時被公認為演技偶像派,他的代表作有Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy、The Fifth Estate及August: Osage County。他在這電影的演出很精彩,雖然大部分觀眾都沒有見過Alan Turing,但他的演繹幾乎完全展示角色孤僻聰明的性格特點,難怪他憑這個角色拿到不少提名的鼓勵。他的下一部推介是Doctor Strange,這是Marvel系列電影,不少有名氣的演員都會參與這個系列,相信他的名氣會再次急升。Keira Knightley年紀輕輕已示範優秀的演技,她的風格很廣泛,而且非常擅長處理內心戲較多的角色,代表作有Pride and Prejudice、Atonement及Begin Again。她在電影的演出不錯,個人認為其演出不算很突出,主要原因是被Benedict Cumberbatch明顯地比下去,不過她的演技還是保持一定水準。她的下一部推介是Collateral Beauty,電影氣氛較為輕鬆並將於聖誕節檔期上映,她的發揮值得期待。Matthew Goode是英國演員,他一直都在表演中成長,雖然名氣沒有很大,但他仍有不少的演出機會,如Match Point、Stoker及Belle。他在電影中演出的角色起初因忌才而和男主角為敵,後來變成佩服他的才華,我覺得他將角色發揮得很好,是一名稱職並亮眼的演員,可媲美男主角的演出。他的下一部推介是Allied,這齣電影上映前已造成很多風波,他的演出應該會達到預期效果吧!

電影以敍述Alan Turing生平經歷為主,在表達上加重了主角對人和事的看法及感受,讓觀眾能夠以第一身去欣賞整齣電影;電影也表達了一些不公義的法律只會考慮我們的行為是否屬於罪行的範圍,但沒有研究過行為背後的原因及法律的合理性。電影演員的整體表現很好,大大提升了電影的素質。電影在配樂及美術設計也花了不少的功夫,整部電影的藝術感非常到位,導演的功夫也盡見電影中。我認為每個人都有他表達意見的權利,不過也要為自己講過的及做過的負責任,盡量不要做一些損害別人(而沒有自身利益)的事。
