如果我要解釋為何我會選擇荷里活電影，我想我未必能夠道出箇中原因，不過在我這兩年看電影寫網誌的過程，我體驗美國電影不同的特色及認識更多值得尊敬的一班演員。我不是要數盡港產片的不是，但是比較兩地的劇情片，外地製的始終在題材及意念的層面較廣，以下介紹的《The Last Station》便是其中一例，藉著講述歷史家庭的運作，以兩段感情關係作主線。但電影其實都講了一個道理，就是經營一段感情，無論對象是甚麼人，都只是異曲同工，而互相尊重及有商有量則是基礎。
此電影的陣容不算是強大，但是眾多主要演員的演出都令人嘆為觀止。男主角的角色是作家的助理，他在入職後需要和不同身份的人見面及相處，而且遇到女子向他調情，生活上已經很好。飾演此角色的James McAvoy，在美國都算是名氣高的演員，他在這電影的角色形象十分討好。而女主角Helen Mirren則廣為人知，她今次飾演的野蠻妻子，雖然性格令人討厭，但戲迷也不能不佩服她的精彩演出。Helen Mirren曾經多次角逐Academy Awards的角色獎項，並在四年前憑《The Queen》勇奪影后殊榮，在此片出色的演出亦被提名最佳女主角，小弟認為她每次的角色都有突破，不會經常重複曾經演過的角色。至於飾演作家的Christopher Plummer，拍戲生涯已經很長，但他第一次的Academy Awards提名便是憑此片候選最佳男配角，的確他在這電影的演出算是他近年最好的演出，而他令我最有印象的演出則是60年代的《The Sound of Music》(小弟最愛影片其中之一)。值得一提的還有飾演男主角女友的Kerry Condon，她能在平凡中演到突出，相信這部電影可令她有更多的演出機會。
我從來都不喜愛在雞蛋裡挑骨頭，但我在遇到好電影時，我便會有這樣的表現。《The Last Station》畢竟是一齣好電影，只是在細微的地方再多留意便更佳。
