看完《忠犬八公的故事》,让我不禁想起歌手张靓颖的一段歌词:“四季风景在我的窗前悬挂/人海涨落在我的心里变化/流转的时光/褪色的过往/岁月有着不动声色的力量……”不论外物如何变化,那只忠诚的秋田犬总是在同一个时间,同一个地点,守望着他的主人。
影片的制作水准算不上高端精良,人物刻画称不上老到精深,情节设置更遑论跌宕起伏。但就是这样一部简单的电影,让无数观众感动落泪。
影片将视角对准了一只名叫“小八”的秋田犬。它被人遗弃在火车站,因为遇到了好心的大学教授帕克而免遭厄运。帕克的妻子一开始并不喜欢“小八”,当她看到帕克趴在草地上,嘴里咬着球,一步一步艰难而又不失耐心的教“小八”如何捡球的时候,她的心被这一幕融化了。
“小八”就像是一个“黏人虫”,怎么赶都赶不走。它和帕克熟识以后,每当帕克要坐火车去学校上课时,它总是尾随在后,在火车站对面的花池上一蹲就是一天。起初,教授帕克还经常驱赶它,让它回家。后来,他发现,“小八”像是着了魔一样,一定要看着帕克从火车站再次走出来才肯罢休。教授也只好作罢,随他去等。火车站里卖热狗的大叔,书报亭的大婶都十分佩服“小八”的忠诚。然而有一天,当帕克在给学生上课时,突发心脏病去世了。亲人们在哀悼完之后,决定送走“小八”。可这只倔强的小狗冲破围栏,又跑到火车站去等帕克,这一等,就等了9年,直到“小八”走到生命的尽头。
在导演细腻的镜头里,我们看到了人与动物间最质朴也最真实的情感。这种情感的极为罕见之处,在于它无需依靠人类语言的沟通传递,而仅靠手势与动作来表情达意。影片中有多次用低机位拍摄“小八”,而且用“小八”的眼睛来看待周遭的世界(镜头里的世界呈现出黑白色调,因为狗的视觉里也是仅有黑白两种色彩。“小八”的喜怒哀乐在这只秋田犬的身上也得到极为淋漓尽致的展现:它生气时的怒目圆睁,哀伤时的眼眉低垂,开心时的欢呼雀跃,尤其与帕克在一起时的亲昵温顺,实在是让观众看得心生怜爱。联想到最近看过的一部由韩国女星林秀晶主演的电影《方糖》,讲述一个少女和一匹马的故事。故事也无甚波澜,然而与《忠犬八公的故事》的场景的相似处却是历历在目。颇难想象,人类与动物相处的融洽有时候居然超越了人与人之间的相处。或许是因为,动物没有人类那么多的防备与私心。你对它好,它会对你更好。所以,当你倾注你的所有热情对待一只小动物时,它会对你百依百顺,做你的忠实朋友。
树叶绿了又黄,花儿谢了又开,风雪来了又去。转瞬间,已是十年过去了。当年风华绝代的帕克夫人在偶然路过的火车站发现已经垂垂老矣的“小八”顶着风霜依旧在守望着他的主人。帕克夫人走上前来,将“小八”揽入怀中,轻声的拍打着它不再闪亮的皮毛,她用一种人类最美的语言告诉“小八”:亲爱的,一切都让它顺其自然吧。
没有一种情感能敌过时间的摧残,没有一种岁月能抵挡生命的流逝。忠诚的“小八”在用自己的生命履行着他对主人的诺言。在旁人看来,似乎是一件多么愚钝的事情;在所有关心“小八”的人们看来,这种心照不宣的感情是超越一切形而上的意义的,它是如此的鲜活与生动,将彼此都融刻进对方的生命里,因此这样的感情是永恒而伟大的,让人为之唏嘘不已。
When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story\'s development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu\'why you be the scapegoat of your father?\' Xu answers \'because he is Chinese.\' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu\'s boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won\'t beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children\'s right. What\'s more, I remember a line \'No one won the case, especially the child.\' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades \'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.\' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says \'I have to follow the procedure.\' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says \'you can\'t fall, your health security is the company paid.\' \'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.\' \'dady, why you come from the window\' \' because we don\'t have a chimney.\' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That\'s my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
从某种程度上说,这部电影几乎可以算是一个日本秋田犬(Japanese Akita最华丽丽的广告长片;只是,我们会那么心甘情愿地掏钱给这部广告长片买单,并且我们还被整得一把鼻涕一把泪地幽幽轻叹:这钱花得值啊。呵呵,现代人呀——我们会为自己的眼泪买单,并且除此之外一般我们都无法落泪。是的,我们在大银幕前苦修多年把自己的泪腺练得几乎水火不侵之后,电影人拖出一条满脸哀怨的大狗后,我们苦修得来的免疫力瞬间被它给彻底瓦解了。
这是个挺奇怪的现象。多少次镜头里的俊男美女们哭得七零八落时我们报以之笑场,可是这条大狗拖出来之后仅仅只是让它安坐在镜头前的花坛上安安静静地坐着,用大量的胶卷对其进行全方位的特写的同时讲述一个颇为姗姗动听的故事,却能将我们的最后的那道心理防线完全地击垮。我想过这个问题,然后有一天突然间就豁然开朗了。因为动物对我们往往更真诚一些,而且它们还没有进化出能够思考的大脑来,它们的本能决定了它们不会跟我们玩心机游戏,所以它们对我们也更真诚一些——要什么不要什么,做什么不做什么全凭它的动物本能。所以对着一头看起来颇有些可爱的动物,我们总会更轻易地卸下防备进而与之坦诚相对;如此一来,它们总能轻而易举地完成轻松一击。
前几天上午闲来无事,就打开电视,CCTV6正在播这部叫《八十一枚金币》的电影,演的是反映农村留守儿童以及老人的事儿,里面的小女孩非常可爱,就看进去了。电影非常感人,看的我和媳妇儿几度落泪。导演拍的非常好,编剧也写的很感人,最后片尾曲一出来,我的眼泪止不住的流啊。。。真是太感人了,这才是真正有现实意义的感人的片子啊。片中的两个小朋友演的非常好,几乎没有表演的痕迹,穿插的悠扬动人的笛子曲也很能打动人心。真是近年来少见的真诚的感人的片子,记得上次被感动的落泪还是看电影《我们俩》和《暖春》的时候呢。。。
然后马上就到豆瓣上找这部片子,居然没有,百度了一下,资料也很少,最后通过剧本作者的博客终于找到了一些资料,于是赶紧为豆瓣添加新电影条目。无奈提交了两次,等了4天,豆瓣就是不通过。直到今天,才发现别人已经添加成功了。于是就来写评论了。
那天是1月7号上午,正好是这部片子在CCTV6上首映。剧本是大庆晚报的记者王智君先生根据真人真事采访手记写的,后来被导演选中拍了电影。难怪好此感人呢,来源生活,反映生活,才能真正的打动人心啊。值得一提的是,小女孩丫丫的原型在电影中扮演另外那个叫梅梅的小女孩呢。
影片结尾导演经过艺术的处理,得到了一个圆满的结局,丫丫的魔法实现了,妈妈真的回来了。可是现实生活中,这样的童话故事是不可能出现的。农村留守儿童与留守老人的确需要得到社会上更多人的关心关注和关怀。
最后,我必须再说一句,这真是一部值5星的好电影,淳朴、真诚、深沉,催人泪下、感人肺腑、发人深省,请允许我向剧本作者王智君先生致敬,向导演韩赤飞先生致敬!
由导演韩赤飞指导的两部小成本电影《童年的收音机》和《八十一枚金币》齐齐入围2013年美国圣地亚哥国际儿童电影节最佳影片奖。关于入围,总不该是因为前者拍了儿童,而后者拍到了国际儿童节吧。显然不是,那凭什么?
从情节上看,导演韩赤飞开篇就给了明确的故事走向:要造收音机,那咱就得配零件;要召唤妈妈,那就得先攒“金币”。清晰的目标导向恰合了孩子们在此年龄段直率、无忌的性格特征。这是身为导演的他捕捉到的,也正是当下观影的“非儿童们”所缺失的。
相较两部影片,我更喜欢前者,小演员们酣畅的表演生动再现了大时代背景下孩子们高度统一的领袖崇拜精神及“集体意识”。这种意识在时代的变迁中逐步瓦解成为今天的“个人主义”。导演巧妙地将孩子们的行为思想搁置到领袖精神盛行的红色经典语境中去,此时,看上去在规范并束缚着中国成人行为的口号和标语,却真真切切地捍卫了中国儿童们的斗志和正义感。影片结尾说的没错,现在的孩子可能永远理解不了那个传播途径有限、物质资料匮乏的年代里“小眼镜”一行人造成收音机的喜悦,就像巷口每日做着手中活计的妇人们,这帮孩子的雀跃,不过是她们眼中发着神经的吵闹。
最近,在2014年北京国际电影节优秀作品展映的首批名单中,我注意到了《八十一枚金币》。赤飞导演凭借实打实的小成本制作再次入围,也引起了众人对该类映射当下现实问题的影片的关注。叙事平实、镜头质朴,导演尽可能地在创作手法上还原了真实故事本身。好电影不是和大制作划等号,而是在于它是否贴近实际、贴近生活、贴近群众。震撼心灵的,往往就是平淡生活中那些个微渺的细节。针对影片完满的结局,赤飞导演的理想主义再次从严酷的现实中破冰抽芽。这个外表粗砺、精于刑侦的北方汉子更多的在孩子们的世界里保留了善与美的品质,透过这些传神的个人,甚至群体,折射出当代成人的心里现状。
以善动人,以美成片,虽不够惊艳,但足够走心。我也期待着,韩导能凭借他始终探讨的关于人性善与美的持有及珍存的课题,更深地走进主流的视野。
