——《桃姐A simple life》影评
我很庆幸,在我情绪几近失控时,我遇到了《桃姐》,然后,狂躁怒吼的心因这部轻描淡写简单生活的简单电影,渐渐平伏下来,转而为戏里的点滴温情简单爱而感到小温馨小感动。
许多人都说《桃姐》是部催泪大片,可我在看这部戏时几乎没有流过眼泪,而我辩驳别人说我冷血无情的理由则是——许鞍华创作本片时应该不是刻意企图挤压观众的泪腺吧,本片基调是舒缓的、自然平实的,就像是一部关于老人院生活的纪录片(事实上本片也的确运用了大量的“类纪录”手持摄影镜头及拍摄真正住在老人院的老人家们),没有任何强烈的戏剧冲突,没有任何矫情做作的煽情戏码。然而,也许就是这种让观众能在戏里看到自己或身边人、引起强烈共鸣的生活流电影,才能做到情至深处,感人肺腑吧。
尾声结束后,关上电脑,往床上一躺,闭眼回想起那一幕幕似水流年。Roger带桃姐去看他的电影首映,散场后于街头携手漫步,一路乐呵呵地闲聊,昏黄灯光下,寂寥街道上,如母子相处的主仆俩的背影构成了一个颇具诗意与温情的镜头;经常出现的关于食物的镜头,在挑起我们食欲的同时更引发了我们对家常菜、对家人的思念,就像李安的影片所表达的那样,中国人“民以食为天”,饮食文化早已深深融入家庭文化中;老人院里,老人们寂寞孤独、眼神空洞呆滞的样子总能让我内心轻叹,待了解到某些镜头是真正在老人院取材拍摄时,则更加唏嘘不已了……我们多久没跟父母长辈一起屈膝长谈、漫步街道了,多久没回家吃暖心饭菜了,又有多久没询问关心过他们的身心健康了呢?想着想着,几滴眼泪划过脸庞,那是想念,也是愧疚,更是遗憾。
电影源于生活,戏如人生,人生如戏。许鞍华不愧是个富有经历而善于观察记录的导演,她能拍出生活气息浓厚的作品,如《天水围的日与夜》,如《桃姐》。但我想,在这个追求视觉刺激的大片时代,要经历过某些事情的观众才能被她平淡是真的作品打动吧。若是一年前看,我的感触或许不至于那么深,而现在,我止不住去将戏里人物与我及我的身边人一一对号入座,思绪回转间,懂了该去做些什么,也知道我就如Roger阻止不了桃姐的逝去那样,有些事情我永远也做不了了……
罢了,言归正传吧。许鞍华的电影总有许多影射现实的情节,在《桃姐》里亦然,所以带着探索心的观众总能在本片里找出某些或会心一笑或发人深思的情节安排。最让我觉得意味深长的莫过于桃姐住的老人院在中秋节的那段情节——女艺人唱完歌后甜美的笑容瞬间变成不耐烦;拍摄完毕后,摄制人员从老人手里收走月饼,原来那只是要循环使用的道具;老人们以为终于“应酬”完后先是松了口气,而后听到还有人要来探访时却是叹气但又不得不继续强颜欢笑。不过许鞍华可不是位爱说教的导演,她由始至终都只是用摄像机静静地拍摄记录下这些画面,不会激昂批判些什么,也不会端起架子告诉观众正确答案是什么,一切都让观众去思考、去探讨,更富有予人启发的意义(比起某些高高在上说教式的内地电影,的确更有观众缘)。
不过《桃姐》有三点让我些微失望之处,一是戏里对电影行业的描述挪揄似乎有点多了,虽然ROGER是个混电影圈的.,虽然像刘德华与徐克、洪金宝饰演的导演监制唱双簧拿追加投资这样的情节挺有趣的,但不得不说有淡化主题的嫌疑;二是结尾平淡过头,结束过快,虽然本片就是那个温情内敛的范儿,但桃姐的去世如此草草收场,大家如此平静地面对,甚至时长还及不上开头ROGER坐火车那段可有可无的戏,总让经历过类似事情的我内心有些说不出的堵;三是内地演员表现平平得来还有些“搭配不当”,看王馥荔和刘德华的对手戏时,实在是感受不到一丁点母子情啊,秦海璐算是女配角吧,但她的存在感偏弱了,跟叶德娴一比,简直连花瓶都称不上。所幸的是,影片的主心骨叶德娴演技实在了得,举手投足、眼角眉梢之间,便把一个有血有肉、情深义重的桃姐形象给塑造出来了,完全打破她在我记忆中那个《与狼共舞》《黑马王子》《新少林五祖》中大大咧咧老不正经的妇人形象;刘德华及其他演员的表演亦是洗尽铅华、返璞归真,仿佛就是生活中真实存在之人,更为这部质朴温暖的电影锦上添花了。
然而瑕不掩瑜,如此一部能够让中国乃至全世界的观众更懂得中国人传统亲情的感人佳片,《桃姐》斩获多项大奖,代表香港电影选送冲击奥斯卡最佳外语片奖,的确实至名归。关于《桃姐》,我还想说得更多,无奈时间有限,我还得去研究写出一个老人题材的剧本。总而言之,每个人都值得去观赏这部描绘简单生活简单爱的简单电影《桃姐》,因为每个人身边都有一个桃姐,有一个爱你如生命的平凡而伟大的亲人,一个你应该懂得感恩珍惜的亲人!
说句题外话:从现实角度来说,假如这部戏不是许鞍华执导,没有刘德华这个大腕坐镇,没有保利博纳公司的保驾护航,这部戏能不能拍出来都是个未知数,更无论口碑票房俱佳了。所以说啊,就算是许鞍华这种才华横溢的文艺片导演,假如没有商业搭对台,唱得再好的文艺戏总体价值也说不上多高。衷心希望,通过《桃姐》这部叫好又叫座、摆脱文艺片怪圈的电影的成功,许鞍华能更懂商业运作对电影的作用,好好利用,借此东风呈现给更广泛的观众更多有想法有意义的诚意佳片,毕竟像她这样一直坚持严肃创作、坚决不拍商业烂片的导演真是越来越少了……
Dear all,
I am writing this letter to express my gratitude to my parents for teaching me to be positive and to be strong. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” is the opinion held by Aristotle. It is the experience of our forefathers, however, it is correct even today, including my parenting.
It is widely acknowledged that parenting, which can also be explained as family education, is of great significance in our character forming and manner acquiring. To be more detailed, setting good examples instead of just giving precepts is the greatest achievement of my parents. They not only taught me to think for the best and prepare for the worst; they taught me how. They not only told me the benefits of being strong in mind; they proved it. All those things require huge amount of time and work, but it’s worth it.
Without my parents’ contribution and education, I would never be who I am now. But most importantly, I would never be more gratitude to them than today.
Yours,
XXX
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
一沙一世界,
一花一天堂,
手中即无限,
永恒亦短暂。
Nowadays, many famous university campuses have become one of the popular tourist attractions. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of middle school students visit Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities in China. In the place far away from the capital city, the local students also visit the universities famous in their own province.
So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for the students to visit the famous university campus in that it can enable the middle students to get more information about the university and they can have enough time and opportunity to prepare themselves with the chance to get into the university. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the public tourism will have negative effect on the universities because it will not only do harm to the environment but also to the intellectual atmosphere.
In my opinion, the tourism to the universities is not a good thing. The campus is mainly a place for study. With the increasing tourism on the campus, it will ruin the spiritual atmosphere in this learning field.
首先,提纯范文 “谋篇布局”及结构模板。
第一段:提出问题或现象。Nowadays, … … have become one of the popular … …. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that … ….
第二段:正反列举人们的看法。So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to … …? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing for … … in that … …. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, … … will have negative effect on … … because it will not only do harm to … … but also to … ….
第三段:摆明自己观点。In my opinion, … … is not a good thing. … … With the increasing … …, it will ruin … ….
其次,提纯范文“段落写作”。
段落写作分为统一性,连贯性和完整性三方面。
统一性(unity:段落开头的主题句应该做到不可太宽泛,也不可太具体,做到有较强的概括性才能使下文做到有的放矢的展开。范文第二段首句以设问的方式提出一个问题is it a good or bad thing就有很强的概况性。下文自然会一方面从好的方面说明,另一方面从坏的方面说明。
连贯性(coherence:关联词是使文章段落之间相互连贯的必要条件。范文中nowadays, on one hand, on the other hand, in one’s opinion即以“启承转合”递进的顺序是文章条理清晰,层层展开。
完整性(completeness:以设问句“So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to open the university campus for tourists?”开头,这是平时较少运用的段落写作方式——设问法。“On one hand … …. On the other hand, … ….”是段落写作分类列举法的典型用法。
再次,提纯范文“句子写作”。
1. It has been shown that … …
类似句型:It is known to us that … …
It is said that … …
It is reported that … …
It is controversial that … …
2. “… … Tsing Hua University and Peking University and other famous universities … …。”——并列句。并列句是简单的复杂句。但其运用方法并不简单,注意练习并接句的使用,会使句子显的更加饱满。
3. enable v. 使…能够
I gave him full directions to enable him to find the house.
4. in that = because
表“因为”的连词还有since, for, as,如:
The boy was absent because he was ill. = The boy was absent since he was ill.
此句以我们常用的人称开头,句式简单,我们可以通过把since提前改变句式,如:
Since the boy was ill, he was absent. 句式多样化。
最后,提纯范文“措辞”。
1. attraction n. 具有吸引力的事情。
2. thousands and thousands 成千上万的
形容“多”的表达方法:millions and millions
a multitude of
a great deal of
a large amount of
plenty of
many a
3. “some people argued that … …”中的“argue”并不是“讨论,辩论”的意思,而是“认为”。
I argue that … …
I maintain that … …
I claim that … …
I insist that … … = I think that … …
I hold that … …
I assert that … …
I assume that … …
4. negative adj. 否定的.,相反的
hold negative view = hold opposite opinions
5. phenomenon n. 现象
social phenomenon 社会现象
natural phenomenon 自然现象
6. intellectual adj. 聪明的= intelligent, bright, clever
(选词策略:使用最近所学的单词,如intellectual > intelligent > bright > clever
在分析并掌握范文之后,我们需要运用范文知识练习仿写。笔者运用2005年12月范文中的模板结构仿写了2006年12月的四级作文,以供参考:
1. 许多人喜欢在除夕夜看春节晚会
2. 但有些人提出取消春节晚会
3. 我的看法
Nowadays, the Spring Festival Evening has become one of the popular topic and attractions during every traditional New Year’s Eve. It has been shown on TV and on the radio that every year thousands and thousands of Chinese people appear to be accustomed to enjoying the sights and sounds of a brilliant feast, while gathering with their beloved family.
However, an increasing number of people have voiced different opinions towards it. So far as the present situation is concerned, is it a good or bad thing to cancel the Spring Festival Evening? Different people have different opinions. On one hand, some people argued that it is a good thing to amuse the audience in that it is composed by a numerous adequate programs, such as the emotional song, the graceful dance, the funny short sketch, the amusing comic dialogue, the delightful magic, and the marvelous acrobatics and so on. On the other hand, some people hold a negative view about this phenomenon. In their opinion, the Spring Festival Evening will have negative effect on the family harmony because it will not only do harm to having the talks between family members on the Spring Festival Eve but also to enjoying the gourmet meal in a fancy restaurant.
In my opinion, the Spring Festival Evening is a good thing. It may not remain a must for all people, but it can bring us a strong sense of festivity and serve as an alternative among the variety of holiday activities. With the increasing audience of the Spring Festival Evening, it will ruin a distinctive culture during the Spring Festival vacation.
Dear my father and mother,
This letter is my inner feelings. I want to thank both of you for so many years’ care and help.
During my growth, you have made a lot of efforts and love for me. When I make a success, both of you are more excited than me, and support me to do better. Even though I have failed, you always share sorrow with me and encourage me not to give up. Especially, during my preparation for CET-4, the support from you is always everywhere. I have passed the exam successfully.
You love is so unselfish that I am deeply affected, so I will study hard to be a useful person and won’t make you disappointed. Anyway, I would like to express the deep gratitude to you.
With best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Li Ming
春天, 万物复苏,小河水哗哗地顺流而下; 活泼机灵的小鸟们在枝头喳喳地纵情歌唱; 小草们神不知鬼不觉地从地下探出了脑袋,大地换上了绿色的新衣; 小野花们争先恐后地展示着自己的美丽; 一棵棵大树好像正在返老还童, 抽出嫩黄色的新芽;。年迈的`凤凰木也紧跟着春天的步伐, 吐出米粒大小的嫩叶, 就像刚出生的婴儿那般娇嫩。
夏天,太阳像一个火炉似地炙烤着地面。凤凰木的叶子早已变成了深绿色,枝条也向四周扩展了许多,变成了一把绿色的大伞。当太阳透过茂密的树叶筛下一束束金光时, 美丽的凤凰花绽开了一张张笑脸,好像给凤凰木披上了红色的霞衣。
秋天,凤凰树的叶子慢慢地变成了金黄色,在微风吹拂下纷纷飘落下来, 给地面铺上了一层厚厚的金色地毯。课间十分钟,我和小伙伴们在凤凰树下尽情地玩耍、嬉闹,甭提有多高兴了。
冬天,刺骨的寒风从耳边呼呼地刮过,古老的凤凰木褪去了繁华,仿佛一个弯着腰、知识渊博的老学者,正在讲述着她一百多年来的沧桑岁月, 并勉励我们克服各种困难、勤奋学习,成为对国家有贡献的人才。
这就是我们百年老校的百年古树---凤凰木。
