冰之驕女 I, Tonya (2017)

電影名稱:冰之驕女 I, Tonya
產地:美國 USA
上映日期:18 January 2018
觀看日期:19 January 2018
片長:120 Minutes
導演:Craig Gillespie
演員:Allison Janney

觀後感:
常言道「只要做好本份就不用理會別人的批評」,不過我們通常都不能做到這個層次,反而會被輿論所帶來的壓力而煩惱;筆者覺得做好本份是沒有錯的,只是人家的意見也同樣重要,可能會突破我們的盲點,從而讓事情有更好的結果,當然我們是有能力過濾惡意且沒有營養的言論。對於像電影女主角Tonya Harding(Margot Robbie飾)的公眾人物而言,任何形式的輿論都會影響大眾對他們的印象,嚴重的可以影響他們事業的發展。Tonya自小被母親LaVona(Allison Janney飾)訓練花樣滑冰並師承教練Diane Rawlinson(Julianne Nicholson飾),在沒有龐大資金的支援下,她親自製作比賽用的服裝及挑選比賽歌曲,即使擁有一流的滑冰技術也被觀眾取笑其別樹一格。Tonya在年輕時認識Jeff Gillooly(Sebastian Stan飾)後閃婚,本來打算逃離母親的她換來的只有一位虐待她的丈夫。Tonya在新教練的培訓下成功在比賽中完成兩次一周半跳,然而最後在奧運會只得到第四名。落敗後的Tonya在餐廳任職侍應,Diane鼓勵她重出江湖參與下一屆冬奧,LaVona向Tonya表示兒時的刻苦才能造就今天的她,她從來沒有後悔母女關係如此惡劣。Jeff和朋友Shawn Eckhardt(Paul Walter Hauser飾)設法恐嚇Tonya的主要對手,後來Shawn更秘密請人施襲,導致聯邦調查局介入調查及傳媒爭相採訪;Tonya主動向當局舉報Jeff和Shawn,Jeff一怒之下聲稱Tonya事前已知他們的安排。LaVona試探Tonya是否知情,被狠狠地趕出家門;Tonya在奧運會上再次失利,之後的審訊裁定她罪名成立,懲罰她終生禁止參與花樣滑冰的比賽。Tonya無可奈何接受這項裁決,她為了繼續生存轉型為一位拳擊手,為了自己沒有犯過的錯而承受責任。

Allison Janney是一名美國女演員,鑽研戲劇多年的她在不同的演出界別也有所成就,較為人知的角色都來自電視劇的;她一直以百變的形象參與不同演出,無論是業界、影評人或觀眾都公認她為演技派,代表作有Who Shot Patakango?、Our Very Own及Juno。筆者在電影喜劇中認識這位演員,起初只以為她是著名的喜劇演員,後來看到她在大銀幕的出現,也沒有想到她跟Academy Award會有關係的;觀眾看過她在電視螢幕上的精彩表現,而大銀幕上卻永遠飾演一些發揮不多的角色,這一次她的好友監製Steven Rogers寫了這個不能參考真人的角色給她,讓她在挑戰中成功突圍而出,獲得前所未有的讚賞,筆者覺得她是實至名歸的。她的下一部推介是Bad Education,她和型男Hugh Jackman合作演出這部喜劇,筆者對她的表現很有信心,希望二人會有不錯的火花。

電影以仿紀錄片的形式呈現這件美國體壇上的醜聞,角色以各自不同的角度憶述當年事情發生的經過,正正就是監製訪談時所經歷的情況,只是他未曾見過LaVona的真人;Jeff在訪問提及過自己摧毀了Tonya的運動生涯,特別是她由始至終對襲擊事件毫無頭緒,而制裁已無法還她一個公道,唯有靠這部作品讓世人知悉真相。Margot Robbie是電影中的最大亮點,她的演繹猶如跟角色融為一體,情感的表達是很有層次的;Allison Janney的表現十分突出,筆者覺得Sebastian Stan的演出也算是不錯,三人之間的合作相當精彩。電影的剪接、造型及音樂等方面輔助故事的述敍,突顯了電影所表達的主題;筆者最深印象的是片末Tonya Harding的對白:這就是(你們想要的)事實,所謂的事實由大眾對她的意見所造成,根本她就沒有對付別人的意圖,就是輿論壓力令她獲得不公平的對待。很多時候事實並不是最重要,因為我們會寧願相信美麗的謊言,也不願意接受殘酷的事實,無奈活在這個顛倒的世界也是我們自己,胡亂批判別人最後也很有可能自食其果;筆者很欣賞Tonya Harding這種活在當下的態度,她甘於接受命運的安排,而且更努力擺脫它帶來的枷鎖及包袱,現在沒有多少人能夠像她一樣瀟灑了。

故事:47/50
演員:33/35

總分:95/100

導演:David Ayer
演員:Margot Robbie, Will Smith

觀後感:
每個人都會有自己的弱點,積極的人會努力改善自己,自負的人會想盡辦法掩飾自己,機智的人卻會找機會發揮這些特質,讓它們也可以幫助我們的生活;筆者覺得人不是完美,我們想要生存下去,就需要找到適合的環境。電影中的各位壞人雖然極度危險,旁人遇見也會避之則吉,不過他們最後竟然做了一次好事,成為大眾的救星。情報主任Amanda Waller(Viola Davis飾)召集一眾在獄中的能人異士組成行動隊伍,由Rick Flag(Joel Kinnaman飾)負責領軍,處理高危的秘密行動。Deadshot(Will Smith飾)、Harley Quinn(Margot Robbie飾)、El Diablo(Jay Hernandez飾)、Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney飾)、Killer Croc(Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje飾)及Slipknot(Adam Beach飾)被選中,他們被植入納米炸彈,以防止他們逃走或反抗。Waller的下一個目標是Flag的女朋友June Moone(Cara Delevingne飾),她被惡靈Enchantress佔用身體,被打算消滅人類,Waller命令隊伍全力應戰;Quinn的男友Joker(Jared Leto飾)計劃拯救女友之時,隊伍正奮力抗戰,後來發現Waller與Enchantress的關係,險些退出行動。隊伍用盡辦法也不是Enchantress的對手,最後合力消滅Enchantress,眾人回到監獄繼續服刑,Waller被迫放棄開展隊伍的計劃。

Margot Robbie是一名澳洲女演員,她自小在單親家庭生活,一直靠著自己的努力工作,在電影圈有不錯的成績,影評人們對她的表現都表示讚賞,近期的作品有Focus、Suite Française及The Legend of Tarzan。她在電影的演出深入觀眾的印象,上映時更引起一股模仿的熱潮,這個角色是有趣且挑戰性高,身經百戰的她得心應手,可說是演活了角色的活潑跳脫,是一個令人非常喜歡的壞人角色;筆者認為她的前途無可限量,而且很佩服她對電影的熱愛並且身體力行。她的下一部推介是Mary Queen of Scots,她將會飾演伊利沙伯女皇,並和Saoirse Ronan鬥戲,未知二人會否把競爭持續至頒獎台呢?Will Smith是一名美國男演員,筆者也曾經在這邊介紹過他無數次,他在演藝圈的成就首屈一指,即使他主要演出賣座的商業片,他仍然得到不少觀眾的認同,近年的作品有Winter's Tale、Focus及Concussion。他一貫在商業片的英雄形象,神射手一角對他而言手到拿來,不過今次的發揮有別於一般演出的框架,他的演出比起以往的演出較生動及深化,筆者也很享受他的演出。他的下一部推介是Aladdin,他將會飾演經典角色燈神,相信到時又會牽起追看熱潮。

電影改編至DC世界的漫畫,推出後深受戲迷歡迎,並且有不少延伸作品及續集相繼發展,誓要與Marvel世界鬥一番。電影有幾位一線紅星,同時也選用了不少新面孔,配搭上有新鮮感,Margot Robbie和Cara Delevingne的表演較為突出,其餘的並沒有十分特別。電影在觀感的效果上做得十分成熟,打鬥場面有如觀眾在打機過關一樣,角色的不同造型更獲得Academy Award的最佳造型設計,難怪電影的娛樂性相當高。每個人都不想自己的弱點被攻擊,所以盡量改變、隱藏或好好運用;筆者覺得大家只要正面思考,把別人的攻擊當作提醒,突破我們的盲點,這樣我們反而會更有得著,不需再瑟縮在沒有鏡子的房間裡。

千騙萬化 Focus (2015)

上映日期:5 March 2015
觀看日期:5 March 2015
片長:105 Minutes
導演:Glenn Ficarra, John Requa
演員:Will Smith, Margot Robbie

影評:
大家有沒有試過用一個虛構人物的身份去生活?就像在街頭被攔下訪問後,我們通常都不會把自己的真實資料給陌生人。雖然我自己並不喜歡做這種事情,不過我們也要對這些方面有認知,因為我們身邊的朋友或同事也許會用別的身份去跟我們相處,所以我們也要判斷相信別人的程度,尤其是經常在夜店流連的人要特別小心。電影中兩位主角就是擅長利用這種技巧去行騙,觀眾也是可以參考一下的。Jess Barrett(Margot Robbie)在夜店裡認識職業騙子Nicky Spurgeon(Will Smith飾),兩人成為師徒,Nicky跟Jess分享了這個行業的危險性。二人到了Nicky在新奧爾良的基地,Jess學會一些基本的行騙技巧,與此同時二人互生情愫,Nicky為此感煩厭,因為他對這個行業的人有所顧忌。二人後來因賭博賺了一大筆錢,Nicky為免自己泥足深陷,決定和Jess各走各路。三年後,二人在布宜諾斯艾利斯遇到,Nicky正在幫忙Jess的現任男友Rafael Garriga(Rodrigo Santoro飾)工作。Nicky的任務是協助Rafael在賽車比賽取得勝利,計劃將劣質汽油售賣給其他隊伍。Jess和Nicky在是次重遇和好,逃回美國時被Garriga的保安人員發現,二人被困在Garriga的車房,經歷一輪辯論後,Garriga的其中一名保安槍擊Nicky,此舉嚇退Garriga,之後這位保安表明自己是Nicky父親的身份,三人最後順利逃走,造就大團圓結局。

Will Smith以說嘻哈樂開始他的演藝事業,後期參與不少電視劇及電影演出,他的妻子Jada Pinkett Smith、兒子Jaden Smith及女兒Willow Smith也曾活躍演藝圈,他的代表作有Ali、The Pursuit of Happyness及Seven Pounds。他在電影的演出一般,畢竟在商業片中有這樣子的演出算是不錯的,我覺得他在情感發揮上有種怪怪的感覺。他的下一部推介是Collateral Beauty,他是電影的主角,我非常期待他在這部戲的演出。「小丑女」Margot Robbie來自澳洲,她在當地累積一定的演出經驗後,便隻身到美國發展事業,她早在2008年已開始電影演出,現今成為荷里活炙手可熱的女星,她的作品有Vigilante、About Time及The Wolf of Wall Street。她在電影的演出跟男主角差不多,感覺有如普通商業片的花瓶女角一樣,不過個人認為她必須嘗試演出不同類型的電影,演技才會有進步的空間。她的下一部推介是Terminal,這齣驚慄片的劇情不錯,觀眾可以看到這位新晉演員的另一面。

電影的劇本是原創的,故事末段有點後繼無力的感覺,情節的串連也算是牽強,導致電影的整體水平受到影響。就商業角度而言,電影是成功獲得不錯的票房,主要原因在於兩位主角的人氣及叫座力,不過兩位的演出其實令人失望。電影也沒有使用甚麼特別的效果為觀眾帶來額外的視覺衝擊,所以觀眾看完電影後很快就會忘記整個故事。有時候在一個不屬於自己的身份下活著也蠻有趣的,至少可以看到其他人的態度改變,不過長期這樣的人其實也是很可悲的,因為他們不能接受用自己真實的一面去面對別人。

華爾街狼人 The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

上映日期:13 February 2014
觀看日期:23 February 2014
片長:180 Minutes
導演:Martin Scorsese
演出:Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie

影評:
由於小弟延畢了一年,所以很多熟悉的朋友都已經早我一步踏入社會,他們的工作都有不同種類的,可以給予小弟不少找工作的參考。在一次小型聚會中,大家分享了工作及學業的情況,以及有關事情的看法。我發現當中有一位女性朋友的轉變很大,準確來說是她經過工作的洗禮後,讓其他人更加了解她內心的看法。當晚大家正在討論金錢的問題,她很鼓勵我們除了一份正職外,應該找不同的機會去創業,並配合適當的投資策略,令自己將來的生活無憂。幾天前,我和四位朋友再聚頭,知道原來她之前在一次飯局也發表了對愛情的看法,詳情我不此透露,但我很好奇這一年對她的價值觀為何會產生這麼大的影響。老實說,我跟她在財政上的看法差不多,但在愛情上卻完全相反;她夢想的生活跟這電影所描述的幾乎一樣。主角Jordan Belfort(Leonardo DiCaprio飾)的一生其實很精彩,他是一個會想盡辦法都要成目標的人。在失去華爾街股票行的工作後,Jordan轉型推銷小型股票,因為他的能力及堅持,他成功賺到不少錢。他認識了Donnie(Jonah Hill飾),二人創辦了一間公司,並得到很多人的支持及加入。Jordan很快一朝得志,沉淪在毒品及女人堆中,並和第一任妻子離婚,使Naomi(Margot Robbie飾)能夠成為他的女人。他的公司被美國有關部門調查,他很聰明地利用人事關係把黑錢偷運至瑞士,但在過程中出了亂子,令他的處境非常危險,不過Jordan不肯退出。當Jordan和Donnie打算在旅遊過程中到瑞士處理銀行帳戶問題,途中遇上種種困難令他清醒起來。他兩年後被拘捕,但以條件交換令自己脫險;Naomi不再忍受Jordan,帶子女離開他。他最後因行差踏錯而被判監,公司也因此倒閉,出獄後他以教授銷售技巧為生。

Leonardo DiCaprio曾經是不少少女的夢中情人,童星出身的他在長大後得到很多機會,也證明自己是具有實力的。他的著名作品有The Aviator、Inception及The Great Gatsby,很多人認為他最終是會拿到Academy Awards最佳男主角的。他在這電影的演出是我看過他最好的(雖然不算是看了很多部),看過的人應該和我的感覺差不多,會覺得他花了很多功夫準備這個角色,而且效果便突出,他是非常適合飾演這個角色的人選,把角色的自滿及自負統統表演出來,其實我看好他那年可以突圍而出的。他的下一部推介是The Revenant,這是一齣設定在很久以前的復仇片,小弟對它的興趣不是太大。Jonah Hill從讀書時期到現在對演戲都十分熱衷,參與不少電影的劇本寫作,代表作包括Moneyball、21 Jump Street系列及This Is the End。他在電影貫切搞笑的風格,是Leonardo以外的另一大亮點,還不惜犧牲色相,大家都意想不到他這麼討好的演出。他的下一部推介是Hail, Caesar!,這是雲集了眾多紅星的電影,形式有點像The Grand Budapest Hotel,相信上映時會頗受歡迎的。Margot Robbie從澳洲到美國發展,起初只參與劇集的演出,及後得到了這部電影的角色,成功令她一片成名。她在電影中的演出算是不錯,加上觀眾對她新面孔的好感,令她的演技得以被觀眾讚揚;她的演出在新人的水平是很卓越的,但依然需要再多的歷練才能提升。她的下一部推介是Tarzan,這是真人版的電影,預計會吸引很多家庭觀眾進場。

電影的表達方式有別於一般電影,主角會像與銀幕外觀眾溝通一樣演出,令劇情發展更深刻地印在觀眾心中。以喜劇形式表達的傳記片不一定比劇情片種矚目,但由名導製作的這部電影依然極具戲味,改編的劇本把支線的劇情編寫得十分精彩,令電影的水準大大提高,也令演員的發揮更加得心應手。這是我在台灣看的第一部電影,實在令人感到很懷念,也希望大家畢業後能夠找到一份好工作及伴侶,真正開始新的人生。
