觀看日期:17 August 2018
片長:114 Minutes
導演:Ol Parker
演員:Lily James

觀後感:
日前參加了公司安排的課程,指導我們在輔導員工時應注意的事項,原來在過程中輔導者不應直接給對方意見,反而要在撫平情緒的情況下一起思考可行的解決方案。筆者從小到大都很喜愛聆聽其他人的經歷,因為在分享中總會有機會看到別人生命中的高低起跌,這些都有不少鼓勵作用。這齣歌舞劇界的經典作品相隔十年推出續集,在憑空創作的前提下延續角色的故事,當中更說明女主角Donna(Meryl Streep/Lily James飾)的情史。Donna過世一年後,Sophie(Amanda Seyfried飾)接手母親在希臘小島上經營的旅館,即將舉辦盛大的開幕典禮。Tanya(Christine Baranski/Jessica Keenan Wynn飾)和Rosie(Julie Walters/Alexa Davies飾)為了支持Sophie再次到訪小島,三位父親中只有Sam(Pierce Brosnan/Jeremy Irvine飾)留在島上和Sophie繼續生活,眾人不禁想起從前的往事。年輕的Donna在畢業後不甘平凡,四處遊歷享受人生,在巴黎遇上浪漫的Harry(Colin Firth/Hugh Skinner飾),一夜過後她繼續前往下一個目的地。不羈的Bill(Stellan Skarsgård/Josh Dylan飾)開船接載Donna到遠處的小島,之後Donna在風雨交加的晚上邂逅英俊的Sam,二人開心快樂的生活讓Donna曾經想過定下來,直至她發現Sam原來已經早就跟別人訂婚了,她在不想當第三者的理性下決定放手。後來她發現自己懷孕便索性留在島嶼上生活,獨自把生命中最重要的女兒Sophie撫養成人。經過一連串事件後,酒店終於準備好重新開幕,Harry、Bill、Sky(Dominic Cooper飾)和Sophie的外婆Ruby(Cher飾)成功趕及參與,同時慶祝Sophie懷有身孕的好消息。

Lily James是一名英國的女演員,出道幾年時間已經憑著迪士尼經典角色灰姑娘讓觀眾認識,她並沒有因此將事業發展的重心轉至美國,反而藉此累積不同的演出經驗。近年她有機會參與較有水準的製作,作品包括Baby Driver、Darkest Hour及Sorry to Bother You。今次她的角色是Meryl Streep的年輕版,相信對她也有一定的壓力,但是她的演出證明了她過去的心機及付出並沒有白費。筆者本來對她的期望不高,畢竟電影的商業性質較重,而她的表演令很多觀眾重新認識這位演員,在唱歌及感情方面的發揮都十分出色,應該會是新一代中的明日之星。她的下一部推介是Rebecca,她的角色是活在丈夫前妻影子裡的一名女子,看來發揮的部分是足夠的,期待她在電影中會有與別不同的表現。

電影籌備了一段頗長的時間,但由於本來的故事是沒有後續的,於是要等待劇本出世後才能討論選角的部分,對觀眾而言原班人馬的參與是加分的,筆者當然希望Meryl Streep的戲份可以重一點。今次較搶眼的是年輕一輩的演員們,看得出他們很享受整個拍攝過程,豐富了電影的娛樂性,而Amanda Seyfried的表現有很大的進步,筆者認為她有很好的發展空間。電影的音樂作品雖然沒有上集歌曲的號召力,但仍有助劇情的描述及連接,歌舞場面跟上集相比沒有驚喜,整體效果未能為電影加分。面對著身邊不同方面所帶來的壓力,我們需要定時找人傾訴,在分享自己感受的同時,也可能從中有不少得著,對我們來說有很好的參考價值。生命是非常重要的,大家千萬不要動輒便產生輕生的念頭,只有生存才能繼續走下去。

戰雲密報 The Post (2017)

電影名稱:戰雲密報 The Post
產地:美國 USA
上映日期:1 February 2018
觀看日期:13 January 2018
片長:116 Minutes
導演:Steven Spielberg
演員:Meryl Streep

觀後感:
政府是每個地方最高級別的機關,其責任是為人民服務,而傳媒則代表人民去查探及監察政府的工作進程,所以歷史上的政治醜聞大多數都是傳媒揭發;當局者會覺得傳媒是一個障礙,他們會抽絲剝繭找出政府或政客的黑材料大肆報導,引起公眾迴響後政府又要拆解各式各樣的公關災難。電影講述的是政府及傳媒之間微妙的關係,傳媒要在嚴從政府的命令及說出驚天真相中作出選擇,才能繼續經營下去。Daniel Ellsberg(Matthew Rhys飾)負責記錄美軍在越戰時的行動,他發現美國政府故意對外誇大美軍在越戰的表現務求繼續參戰,於是在未獲授權的情況下複印相關的機密報告,然後洩密至報社The New York Times。政府馬上向法院申請禁制令阻止The New York Times繼續報導,The Washington Post最高領導人Katharine Graham(Meryl Streep飾)在主編Ben Bradlee(Tom Hanks飾)的協助下打理家族傳媒事業,她不被其他男同業看好能夠做出成績。The Washington Post取得Ellsberg所洩露的文件,團隊日以繼夜從報告中找出值得報導的細節,Graham則處於兩難局面:不報導的話報社一定相安無事,只是公眾仍然被政府的謊言所蒙蔽;報導的話公司和政府會打官司,勝訴與否存在很高的風險,倘若敗訴公司很大機會無法繼續經營。經過諮詢及深思熟慮後,Graham決定報導這份機密的Pentagon Papers,隨即引來政府對報社的訴訟;訴訟獲得全國其他報社大肆報導,最後兩間涉事報社因受出版自由保護而被裁定無罪,總統則決定The Washington Post的人員要絕跡白宮。這次轟動全國的案件打開了傳媒報導政府機密資料的大門,公眾也知道了一些政府不能見光的行動。

Meryl Streep是一名美國女演員,在演藝圈的地位十分高崇,也是筆者最喜歡的女演員;她一直沒有停下腳步參與電影演出,近年跟美國總統Donald Trump的交流令她得到更多民眾的支持,近年的代表作有Into the Woods、Suffragette及Florence Foster Jenkins。筆者原本認為她今次的演出被男主角完全蓋過,跟她以往女強人的角色有很大的落差。經過資料搜集後得知故事內容及人物性格,才發現她再一次以演技說服觀眾;角色對家業的顧慮及傳媒責任的執著,那種進退兩難的感覺她掌握到非常準確,而獲得提名演技獎項也是值得的。她的下一部推介是The Laundromat,她再度因為使命感而參演政治電影,今次由另一名導Steven Soderbergh製作,筆者相信她可以再次取得演出的成功。

電影以Pentagon Papers事件作藍本,在少於一年的時間製作及上映,全因電影人覺得現任美國政府一塌糊塗,傳媒應鼓起勇氣揭示黑暗的真相;很多觀眾會將此作品跟Academy Award最佳電影Spotlight做比較,他們在劇情上有很多類似的地方,只是這部電影更著重在演員的表現。兩位主角的演出很出色,特別是Tom Hanks有很大的驚喜,遺憾未能取得提名;其他演員的表現也充滿戲劇張力,穩固電影想表達的劇情及訊息。電影保持著嚴肅的氣氛,讓觀眾能夠以認真的態度對待跟生活有關的政治議題,配合技術上高於平均水平的功夫,還原當時事件的情境,不過對於不太熟悉美國歷史的香港觀眾而言就顯得較沉悶。很多人批評香港市民有政治冷感,近年不斷的街頭抗爭推翻了這種說法,年輕人對本地政治有另一種見解;本地的報社不像國外的同業一樣自由,經過審查及調整後的報導卻欠缺了真實感,筆者認為這種制度對我們市民來說是一首悲歌,而且沒甚麼可能性把情況逆轉,我們的知情權也就此被剝削。

走音歌后 Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)

電影名稱:走音歌后 Florence Foster Jenkins
產地:法國 FRA 英國 GBR
上映日期:8 September 2016
觀看日期:10 September 2016
片長:111 Minutes
導演:Stephen Frears
演員:Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant

觀後感:
音樂是我們人生不可或缺的一部分,無論我們是獨自一人或是和朋友在一起,音樂都可以帶來讓人享受的時刻;音樂是一個很好的媒介,創作人可以透過幾分鐘的時間講述故事及抒發情感,歌手及聽眾則加入自己的理解去詮釋歌曲,所以不同人唱同一首歌都可以有不同的味道。唱歌動聽的人有很多,除了樂壇上一眾歌手,民間也有很多唱歌的高手;有些人卻沒有唱歌的天賦,當他們仍然充滿著熱誠去演出時,很容易會成為普羅大眾的話題,被批評及取笑得一文不值,試問有多少人會知道他們背後的付出?在二戰時期,Florence Foster Jenkins(Meryl Streep飾)是一位英國的名媛,她對歌劇及音樂情有獨鍾,而她的演員丈夫St. Clair Bayfield(Hugh Grant飾)選擇放棄事業去支持自己的妻子。Jenkins是梅毒帶菌者,她一直拒絕和Bayfield發生關係,並長期服用含有毒性的藥物;他們不是同居的,Bayfield和情人Kathleen Weatherley(Rebecca Ferguson飾)住在公寓,而Jenkins則住在酒店套房。她決定恢復唱歌訓練,並聘請專屬鋼琴師Cosmé McMoon(Simon Helberg飾),McMoon知道Jenkins根本不懂唱歌後打退堂鼓。Jenkins在一次小型演出後得知好評的存在,於是決定錄製唱片,她和McMoon在這件事情上加深了解,開始發展一段特別的友誼。他們合作推出不少原創歌曲,後來她更安排在一個晚上進行大型演出並邀請軍人出席,Bayfield想盡辦法阻止,並和Weatherley分手,而McMoon在摧毀事業的危機下繼續支持Jenkins。Jenkins很享受當晚的演出,而今次的負評終於落入Jenkins手中,讓她明白到丈夫一直為她著想而隱瞞事實(就像她當日對待丈夫一樣),同時也被迫放棄自己喜歡的歌唱事業。到了她最後的日子,Bayfield和McMoon陪伴她渡過,她想像自己是一位擁有天籟之音的天使,她和丈夫、McMoon得到全場起立鼓掌,於臨終時說出自己的心底話:世人可以取笑自己不懂唱歌,但不能說她從沒有唱歌。

Meryl Streep是一位美國女演員,同時也是一位筆者最喜歡的演員之一,她擅長方法演技及口音模仿,她是頒獎禮的常客,很多觀眾對這個事實不太喜歡,認為她減少了新一代女演員被肯定的機會,不過無論如何她都是一位影壇上的傳奇,近年的作品有Into the Woods、Ricki and the Flash及Suffragette。她近年比較少演出戲份太重的喜劇,聞說她為了這個角色真的去進修歌唱技巧,而且需要刻意做到走音的效果;不少觀眾覺得她在電影的演出很普通,筆者認為這次演出比起她最精彩的幾個演出當然不能相提並論,不過她將這個角色的自信執著及情感起伏掌握得宜,屬於2016年度最好的表演之一。她的下一部推介是Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,這齣改編自舞台劇的續集電影令筆者相當期待,因為Mamma Mia!就是帶筆者進入電影世界的作品,據說她的戲份沒有很多,今年的暑假會在美國上映,希望大家會支持這部作品。Hugh Grant是一位英國男演員,他自小已經極具成為明星的條件,他的口音及喜感成為自己獨特的標誌,他曾說過因為人氣驟降而萌生淡出演藝圈的念頭,不過近年的演出也有不少好評,代表作有Maurice、Four Weddings and a Funeral及Music and Lyrics。他今次的演出隨著他的經歷及體驗變得非常成熟,觀眾沒有期望他會在電影中有這樣優秀的演出,雖然他的角色只是一位支持妻子追尋夢想的丈夫,但可見他很用心地刻畫人物的性格及想法,他的演出令人眼前一亮,縱使效果不是十分完美,卻得到很多正面的評價。他暫時未有電影的拍攝,筆者相信他很快就會有新的計劃,因為他是屬於演戲這一行的。

電影改編自二戰時代的故事,故事在2015年也曾經被改編成法國電影Marguerite,當時的戰爭氣氛濃厚,Jenkins的出現為人民帶來一點點的歡樂,而她亦無悔地去實現自己一直以來的夢想。幾位演員的合作有不錯的火花,共同創造電影中輕鬆搞笑的氛圍,成功刻劃出主角不顧一切追夢的堅持及失敗後的反應。電影為了切合故事的背景,在場景設計、服裝、化妝及音樂等做得非常細緻,營造了金碧輝煌的形象。Jenkins沒有足夠的歌唱技巧,仍然努力不懈改善自己去實現夢想,這是一種很值得我們學習的精神,特別是現在的年青人,很容易會因為遇到困難就放棄,只做自己擅長的事去得到自信;筆者始終覺得成長不只是靠成功,而失敗也是一個我們不可或缺的課堂。

魔法黑森林 Into the Woods (2014)

電影名稱:魔法黑森林 Into the Woods
產地:美國 USA
上映日期:15 January 2015
觀看日期:15 January 2015, 17 January 2015, 20 January 2015
片長:125 Minutes
導演:Rob Marshall
演出:Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick

影評:
童話故事一向都會隱藏導人向善的寓意,讓目標的讀者群可以有所得著。在這類故事中,壞事做盡的人最後不會有好下場,但他們少不免對身邊的人造成負面影響;所以我覺得讀者除了在故事中學會做好人之外,還要明白如何從逆境中尋找突破的方法。這部電影改編自很多年前一齣非常受歡迎的音樂劇,而且將幾個不同的童話故事串連在一起,為現代的觀眾帶來新鮮感。故事的開端講述不同角色的願望:烘焙師夫婦(James Corden、Emily Blunt飾)希望有一名兒子、Cinderella(Anna Kendrick飾)希望到皇宮參加王子(Chris Pine飾)的宴會、Jack(Daniel Huttlestone飾)希望母親(Tracey Ullman飾)不要出售家中的乳牛、女巫(Meryl Streep飾)則希望自己的樣貌變回正常。當中女巫告知烘焙師夫婦不育的真相,並要求他們尋找四件寶物:白色的牛、紅色的斗篷、黃色的頭髮及金色的鞋,才為他們解開多年前的咒語;Cinderella的後母(Christine Baranski飾)和兩位姐姐則視她如家中的女傭,並禁止她參加皇宮宴會;Jack沿著魔豆生長出來的莖攀上雲層,並偷取巨人的豎琴。一連串的經歷後,烘焙師夫婦集齊四件寶物,他們生下一名兒子,女巫的樣子也變回年輕漂亮,Red Riding Hood(Lilla Crawford飾)和外婆避過豺狼(Johnny Depp飾)的攻擊,Cinderella和王子結婚,Jack為了母親偷取更多巨人的財物,並殺死追捕他的巨人。巨人的妻子為了報復而破壞不同地方,不少人如烘焙師夫人、Jack的母親及Red Riding Hood的外婆等因而喪命,烘焙師、Cinderella、Jack、Red Riding Hood責怪女巫,因此女巫在臨死前詛咒他們,不過他們最後合力殺死巨人妻子,並決定之後一起在互相支持下生活。

Meryl Streep是一位在影壇上地位舉足輕重的代表性人物,從影以來每個角色都有不錯的演出,而且很擅長運用「方法演技」,創下美國電影學院獎演員提名次數的紀錄,她近年的代表作有Doubt、The Iron Lady及August: Osage County。她在電影的演出非常驚豔,不少人因為她在Mamma Mia!的演出而對她的歌藝表演有所保留,不過她再一次證明了自己的能力,挑戰這一個難度高的角色。她的下一部推介是Florence Foster Jenkins,這次演出可能為她帶來第二十個提名,我也非常期待這齣電影的上映。Emily Blunt是近期較紅的英國女演員,雖然她未算得到很廣泛的認可,不過她的演出機會不斷,更落實演出新版Mary Poppins,她的代表作有The Devil Wears Prada、The Young Victoria及Edge of Tomorrow。她在電影的演出不俗,主角群中也算是較突出的一位,不過與The Devil Wears Prada的水準有一點距離。她的下一部推介是The Girl on the Train,她的角色有很大發揮空間,相信她的演技可以協助她衝擊影后寶座。Anna Kendrick是美國年輕一代女演員,她先在舞台劇界發展,之後參演Twilight系列令她聲名大噪,她的代表作包括Up in the Air、50/50及Pitch Perfect系列。她在電影中的演出令人眼前一亮,感覺上有點像當年Enchanted的Amy Adams一樣,一度被視為角逐最佳女配角的人選,同時也肯定了她不只懂得飾演喜劇角色,充分表現出演戲的潛質。她的下一部推介是The Accountant,同戲的還有Ben Affleck,這是另一個讓她發揮演技的好機會。

電影與原裝版本有不同的地方,我於視頻上看過一遍舞台劇版本,情節大致上並沒有特別重要的差別,原裝版本的編劇有非凡的創意,令故事看起來生色不少,也維持著電影主要的訊息:父母的言行舉止會影響子女的成長。電影演員間的火花不錯,不少演員如Chris Pine、Daniel Huttlestone和Lilla Crawford都有很好的表現,不過原版的主角相比之下演得好一點。電影的服裝、造型、場景設計及音樂等效果增加電影的吸引力及有助意境、氣氛等的效果營造,提升電影的藝術感。電影中的角色在遇到難關的時候選擇了勇敢面對並成功衝破,現在不少年輕人就是缺乏了這股勇氣才得不到他們想要的,所以大家是否也應在適當的時候做決定,才可以順利抵達目的地呢?

片長:97 Minutes
導演:Phillip Noyce
演出:Brenton Thwaites, Odeya Rush, Jeff Bridges

影評:
過年前後在香港和台灣都發生了一些值得我們關注的事情:先有台灣在農曆年除夕發生大地震,導致多人傷亡,民眾也盡自己最大的努力拯救遇難者;香港在年初一凌晨發生「魚蛋革命」,一眾市民與警察對恃,為的是維護旺角街頭小販可於假期前夕擺賣,保留香港懷舊特色。小弟不想在政治立場上評論時事新聞,因為自身並沒有偏向某一個方向,我比較關心的是我認為對的事情。在台灣,因為大樓的工程沒有妥善做好,很多家庭因而破碎,可能是我對台灣有情意結,看到這個新聞我會很不開心,還會繼續留意事情發展。在香港,看到在新聞上不同立場的人士互相攻擊,而且傳媒也只側重報導民眾如何暴力,令社會上很多人士都認為革命者是不值得原諒的刁民;小弟認為此事只是政府有意地挑起民眾的憤怒,而民眾的反應也正中下懷,好讓特區政府將一部分的事實向中央呈報;雖然我不太認同部分民眾過於激動的表現(如向他人投擲地下的磚頭),但抗爭的民眾背後有誰在指揮呢?這個從來不是大眾談論的焦點。這齣電影的世界就是不一樣,裡面所有事情,甚至連每人的生命也早已被安排,發生狀況的機會幾乎是零,然而往往在某個時候一名救世主會出現拯救大家脫離命運註定的控制。在一次大破壞後,社會被一套規律及少數人控制,而整個社會只有一個「記憶接收者」,他的職責是接收所有過去的記憶,協助長老在社會上作出決定。社會上每個人的職業也早已被安排,Jonas(Brenton Thwaites飾)、Asher(Cameron Monaghan飾)和Fiona(Odeya Rush飾)都很期待在十六歲時會被安排甚麼工作。Jonas成為下一任「記憶接收者」,他需要從上一任「記憶接收者」The Giver(Jeff Bridges飾)接收記憶,過程中他了解到社會的「流放」代表刻意殺死的意思,他也學會人的不同情緒,並以接吻形式向Fiona表達愛意。Jonas的父親(Alexander Skarsgård飾)將一個嬰兒帶返家中照顧,Jonas發現該嬰兒有一個和他一樣的印記,懷疑他有可能成為下一任「記憶接收者」,於是將他知道的事物都傳授給那嬰兒。The Giver和Jonas認為只有衝出社區邊界才能幫到整個社會的人,於是Jonas決定Fiona結伴,並帶走嬰兒,可是Fiona沒有同意,只是協助Jonas完成任務。Asher後來被首席長老(Meryl Streep飾)委派狙擊Jonas,他刻意放過Jonas;Fiona被判「流放」,The Giver將記憶釋放令眾人清醒過來。Jonas最後成功衝出社區,回到記憶中的房子,決意將美好的記憶及色彩帶回社區。

Brenton Thwaites是一名澳洲演員,以Heath Ledger和Hugh Jackman為參考對象的他在畢業後很快便移居美國追夢,他大概只有五年演戲經驗,作品包括Oculus、The Signal及Maleficent。在電影中他佔有較多戲份,但表現沒有十分亮麗,其演出跟一般烏托邦式電影的英雄主角差不多,而且不論群戲還是對手戲都沒有很突出,實在令小弟有點失望。他的下一部推介是Gods of Egypt,電影的賣點為非常吸引的電腦特效,他的演出應該跟這次沒有很大分別。Odeya Rush來自以色列,她的樣貌有一種中東地區的色彩,是一位美人胚子,她在2013年移居美國前不懂得以英語跟別人溝通,她曾參演的電影有The Odd Life of Timothy Green及When the Devil Comes。她在電影的表現演出在預料之內,在不太多的發揮機會下,她的演出不過不失,可惜的是沒有令觀眾對她留下深刻印象。她的下一部推介是Hunter's Prayer,此電影屬商業電影性質,有機會助她提高知名度。Jeff Bridges已年屆六十,他從小便已經開始自己的演藝事業,參演過的電影數之不盡,代表作有King Kong、令他奪得Academy Award最佳男主角的Crazy Heart及True Grit。他的演出算是全電影較好的一個,在和Brenton Thwaites的對手戲中,他的表演的確比對手優勝,即使跟Meryl Streep一同演出時,也展現出他豐富的演戲經驗及較純熟的演技,這位演員值得更多的演出機會。他的下一部推介是Comancheria,電影有關保衛家園並充滿罪惡感的故事,他的發揮應有相當的水準。

電影改編自同名小說,而這本小說可算是烏托邦式青年讀物之始祖,可能是年代比較久遠,當中的情節並沒有很現代化,即使到現在才將小說改拍成電影,舊的色彩依然存在。電影情節在當時算是很新穎的構思,到現在則有一種新舊不如的感覺。演員方面也沒有為電影加分,不過可以讓新晉演員在銀幕上有發揮是可取的。電影中的世界也沒有像其他同類型電影一樣使用大量的電腦特效,看到的是一個採用不同科技以協助人類生活的世界,但當中的人類卻缺少了現今社會非常重視的個人自由。自由當然不應被過份剝削,但我們作為自由的擁有者,亦不應借此而做出一些不顧後果及損害他人(包括任何方面)的動作。

家庭一向給人的感覺都是溫暖及互相支持的,父母子女相處得十分和睦。古時傳統的思想是養兒防老:父母在子女長大後便可以依靠子女的照顧,享受輕鬆愉快的時光。到了這個世代,家庭的概念已經逐漸失去以前的形態,即使父母含莘茹苦地完成人生的使命,子女也未必會懂得報答他們的恩惠,而且在他們繁忙的工作及美滿的婚姻生活下,彼此的溝通便越來越少,這情況更被科技進步不停催化。父母們只可以在重大節慶才可以和子女孫兒們見面,淡化的感情令自己的親人好像一些「剛好有血緣關係的陌生人」。電影改編自同名舞台劇,所表達的訊息也是家人的溝通及關係,讓觀眾反思一下自己對待家人的態度。Beverly Weston(Sam Shepard飾)是一位酗酒詩人,他聘請了一位當地人Johnna(Misty Upham飾)照顧罹患口腔癌的嗜煙妻子Violet(Meryl Streep飾)。Beverly之後突然消失,於是Violet通知妹妹Mattie Fae(Margo Martindale飾)和三位女兒Barbara(Julia Roberts飾)、Ivy(Julianne Nicholson飾)、Karen(Juliette Lewis飾)趕至。幾天後有消息告知Beverly在湖中遇險,大家合力籌備葬禮,並利用共聚的時間相處。Mattie的丈夫Charles Aiken(Chris Cooper飾)、Barbara的前夫Bill(Ewan McGregor飾)及女兒Jean(Abigail Breslin飾)和Karen的未婚夫Steve Huberbrecht(Dermot Mulroney飾)也是座上客。Mattie的兒子"Little Charles"(Benedict Cumberbatch飾)因睡過頭而錯過婚禮,她的父親十分疼愛他,但母親卻不知怎地總愛嘲諷他。Ivy向Barbara講出自己和Little Charles的戀人關係,並打算和他結婚後到紐約生活。在葬禮後的家庭聚餐,Violet語無倫次地數落身邊的每一位,Barbara出手並出言阻止母親再喝酒及吃藥。Mattie知道Little Charles和Ivy的事,阻止的同時令Charles威脅離開她,之後Barbara偷聽到Little Charles是Mattie和Beverly的兒子,為了避免有違倫理才加以阻撓。Steve以毒品引誘Jean,Johnna發現後成功解除危險,Barbara把責任歸究於Jean身上,Bill決定帶走女兒並和Barbara離婚,Karen也和Steve取消婚約。Ivy得知Little Charles的身世後也黯然離開,Barbara及後和Violet爭執:Violet在Beverly失踪後曾經收到他的消息,但她只關心保險箱裡的錢,並沒有提供任何協助,Barbara因此也離開,最後只剩下Johnna及Violet留在屋裡。

Meryl Streep被譽為現今世上最好的女演員,演出經驗當然很豐富,她當年Sophie's Choice的演出依然讓當代的觀眾深深的佩服,在近年更有不同的突破,包括The Devil Wears Prada、Doubt及The Iron Lady。她在這電影的演出並不算是她最好的演出,只是她的角色發揮很多,而且難度很高,所以沒有幾個女演員能夠把電影演好。 她的版本令觀眾很討厭這位很多缺點的母親,但到最後她的孤獨卻令人感到一點點同情,畢竟她的心裡依然很愛自己的女兒。她演戲的特點是「方法演技」,所以她每個角色每一個細節及情感都在她準備充足下完美地演繹出來。她的下一部推介是Ricki and the Flash,她的角色是搖滾歌手,一再挑戰在電影中唱歌的她有希望再度衝擊影后寶座。Julia Roberts是很多元的女演員,她的劇情片演出很精彩,而喜劇片更拿捏到表演的精要,所以她早前的作品都令人津津樂道,近年的作品有Charlie Wilson's War、Eat Pray Love及Mirror, Mirror。她在電影主要的作用是和Meryl Streep的交流,她很有效地透過對話流露角色對母親及家人的態度及不同事情的看法,而角色本身的問題也沒有被忽視;她很準確地把角色的真實一面呈現我們的眼前,因此提名是非常值得的。她的下一部推介是Secret in Their Eyes,這是改編自多年前的一部同名外語片,美國版本的看頭也不錯。Margo Martindale是實力派的演員,在電視及電影圈不停遊走,飾演過很多亮眼的配角,並具有很好的舞台演出經驗,她的著名作品有Dead Man Walking、The Hours及Beautiful Creatures。她在電影的演出備受讚賞,角色的複雜性不在話下,她在不同的情景中,心態上的轉變很適當地展現銀幕上,屬於電影中少有的亮點之一。她的下一部推介是The Hollars,電影是溫情小品型,再一次探討家人的重要性。

電影的故事以反面的方式表達家庭對每一個人的重要性,並且示範了各種不同對待家人不應持有的心態,在簡單的故事表達深遠的意思。整個演出團隊的合作性很強,每個演員在自己的崗位上都盡力做好角色的要求,在戲份的限制下也表現得非常出色。電影的風格也是簡單純樸,在平靜中把家庭裡的衝突對比得更大,也令觀眾的感受更深刻。我自己在去年交流時也思考過電影同樣的問題,有人曾經對我說過:「無論對方是你的甚麼人,千萬不要給放棄自己的底線」,但對著自己的家人,你們覺得應該堅持那條線,還是盡量滿足他們的需要呢?我覺得他們切實的需要根本不會挑戰我們的底線,視乎你們能否明白他們而已。
