回复 :本片由彼得·西格尔([初恋50次])执导,贾斯汀·扎克汉姆([遗愿清单])操刀剧本。故事围绕大型零售商女店员(洛佩兹饰)展开。她努力让人生与众不同,更要向世人表明街头智慧的强大。凡妮莎·哈金斯在片中饰演年轻的消费品公司执行官。
回复 :究竟理想和现实可否共存?看来这是此片编导最想探讨的问题。「威基基兄弟」本是一队四人的乐队组合,但是成员都先后因为种种原因相继离队,众人都得向现实低头,知道单是理想实在不能够医肚,也不能够维持生活,唯独男主角Sung-woo不肯向现实低头,无论环境有多恶劣,包括要他受辱,他也不放弃理想,誓要继续其乐手的职业。但单是坚持是否就足够?只见Sung-woo每次演奏时都目无表情,矛盾的心情可见,看来他又不是真的这样享受这种所谓的「理想」生活。相反,和Sung-woo一样,理想成为职业乐手的酒店打杂(柳昇范)却吃得开得多,他和Sung-woo一样,最后也能在酒店卖唱,却表现得非常投入,因为他懂得变通,为自己的表演注入商业原素,而非只求孤芳自赏,所以能够得到老闆和观众的支持。透过酒店打杂和Sung-woo的比较,编导把为理想的艺术家所面对的难题以调子灰暗的剧情呈现出来,感觉令人心酸和无奈。从一个角度来看,可以尝试把两人的比较放在韩国的电影界来看。近年韩国有不少有抱负和才华的电影人,他们不是不懂拍纯粹艺术电影,但是为了能扬名和让更多观众认识自己的电影,也为了能找到投资者,往往要为电影加添不少商业原素,才能取得成功,这种情况犹如戏内酒店打杂一样,如果你要在这个圈子生存,就要了解游戏规则。硬是要搞孤芳自赏的话,不是不行,但最终只会如Sung-woo一样被逼回到乡下地方继续其事业,并不能在大围圈子内发围。对于这群有抱负和才华的电影人而言,Sung-woo的遭遇绝对是他们在现实所面对的窘境的最佳写照。这是进退两难的局面,要冲开去实在不容易。这亦解释了为什麽电影海报以配角的柳昇范为主,因为他在此片的作用是举足轻重,也是唯一取得成功的一人。此片不少演员都是资深舞台剧演员,演出电影经验不多,但是凭着丰富的舞台经验,把戏内笑中有泪的角色性格演活,犹其主角LeeEol,表情不多却成功塑造出主角无奈的性情。新人柳昇范(导演柳昇完的弟弟)亦充满活力,为此片沉鬱的气氛增添不少生气。此片剧情甚富馀韵,是一齣拍得有意思的电影,只不过风格上偏向闷艺片典型,并不是容易为大众接受的类型,加上全片歌曲甚多(歌词对剧情发展甚为重要,记谨留意字幕),如果你不喜欢音乐或文艺片的话,未必能坐毕全程。
回复 :A brief trip back home turns into a longer stay when Eric finds himself caught between catching up with his two sisters and conquering his old poker group. The more Eric extends his visit to prove that he is still the best poker player in town, the harder it becomes to steer clear of the old fault lines in his relationship with his sister Rachel. As their little sister Maggie attempts to recreate the intimate world they once shared, Eric and Rachel are faced with the divide between their childhood selves and the adults they have now become.Displaying all the sensitivity and wicked humour of his previous works, Dustin Guy Defa’s new film is a shrewd study of the pitiless condition known as adulthood. After growing up in a family unit that constitutes your whole world, with its particular set of habits and a shared language, crossing the border into the realm of adults can feel disempowering, even terrifying. A sense of loss may be difficult to ever really overcome. The film’s meticulous structure and novelistic depth lay bare this fundamental fear, but also the resources that exist to fight it. Setting about this treasure hunt deep within as individuals and as a family is an admirable trio of actors whose interpretation is as nuanced as it is poignant.
