一年一度的奥斯卡颁奖典礼落下帷幕了,在看过报纸、网站上各种大篇幅报道之后,让我对获得最佳影片的电影《为奴十二年》充满了好奇。
电影根据同名自传体小说改编,故事发生在南北战争之前的美国大陆,主人公所罗门本来是生活在纽约州的自由的黑人,有身份、有妻儿、有工作。却被两个自称要为所罗门谋一个马戏团伴奏工作的白人所骗,当他一觉醒来,却发现自己身在华盛顿成为了一名奴隶,没有了名字,没有了身份,也没有了做为人的一切尊严。经过十二年苦不堪言的奴隶生涯,最终得到一个加拿大木匠的帮助,重新获得自由,回到家人身边的故事。
有人说过,看电视剧看的是故事,而看电影看的是意境。看电影不仅要知道讲述了一个怎样的故事,更要感受其中的意境。该电影以浓重沉郁的镜头语言,展现了主人公在身为奴隶的十二年里经历的和看到的一幕幕触目惊心的场景,揭露了奴隶制度的残忍与不人道。
在观看电影的整个过程中,我时刻感受着文化的冲击,在那个黑白分明的世界里,人被明显的分成三六九等,对于当时美国南方的庄园主来说,黑奴是赚钱的工具,是没有人权的私有财产,是可以随意处置的玩具。在无奈的历史车轮里,黑奴们变得越来越麻木不仁,他们失去了反抗的能力,甚至心安理得的接受了奴隶的命运。但电影的主人公没有接受命运的捉弄,他从未停止对平等与自由的向往,他试图逃跑,却发现自己根本逃不出广袤的奴隶主控制的土地,他好不容易写了一封信,却被白人监工告发,他忍痛将信烧毁。
人是生而平等的,一个朴素的真理,对那个年代的人们竟然是如此的困难。主人公追求平等与自由的坚定信念,深深撼动我的内心,也让我深深感受到自己生活的幸福。
14年的奥斯卡最佳电影,是《为奴十二年》。讲的是一个和奴隶制息息相关的故事,说实话,这部电影,真的算不上好看。
大概是文化差异,黑人的苦难着实难以引起笔者的共情,或者说在我认识的自己的几千年封建民族历史中,《为奴》呈现的比起来显然有些微不足道。
《为奴十二年》当年击败了大热的《地心引力》,也击败了了《华尔街之狼》,但是我觉得后两者都要比前者好看很多。更糟糕的是《为奴》的获奖,一场有关尼格的zz正确理念在后来几年的好莱坞中慢慢渗透到各个角落....并且持续至今,愈演愈烈。
从《爱乐之城》闹乌龙错颁,惜败《月光男孩》,再到人挡***人佛挡***佛的瓦坎达万岁。电影的自由表达仿佛被扼住喉咙,这些人明明知道什么才是好的,却只能一边倒地给所谓的正确的,不那么好看作品赞誉。
同样是讲述为奴的故事,三上老师新作的观赏性可要好多了。
女友的姐姐,着实是老套的题材。虽然是酒瓶装新旧,但是那种偷偷的禁忌和紧张感,在porn里是试不爽的强力毒药。
况且,yua的这个女王角色设定,大概还是头一次见到。而且像悠亚这样的奴隶主,丝毫没有凌厉的感觉,鞭子甩出去都带着傲娇可爱的画风,试问,谁不愿做她的犬马呢?
奴隶的反抗年代,同样的拼火交锋,美利坚是枪炮,是倒下来的林肯,是马丁路德金的演讲。而yua这里只有一根绳索,用来控制,一节皮鞭,用来驯服,一束火焰,用来惩罚。
她从来都是孤军奋战,却能让奴仆心甘情愿,心服口服。
大概驯化一个人,暴力从来都不是最好的
我喜欢最后一个段落,三上老师手上托着巨大的蜡烛,像是点燃圣火的火炬。他任由蜡油滴落,溅在主角黑黝黝的脊背上,他感受到疼痛与快感交织,伤痕上放佛被泼洒了烈酒,让他或醉或醒。
居高临下俯视的yua,脚踩着他垂落的的头颅,像自由的女神,审判虔诚胆怯的教徒。
而他,跪倒在地,匍匐向前,最后慢慢把祷文注入她的灵魂深处。
然后,完成了一次又一次的洗礼。
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.
This is my first week in ** Senior Middle School.Everything here is new for me.Our school is an old school but it`s very beautiful.I have 50 new classmates in my class.They`re all very excellent, I think, and I felt a little sad.Because I`m too common.But come to think of it,it`s a very good thing.I believe I can also be very excellent if I study with such excellent classmates.I didn`t know why Ms *** chose me to be the committee of study.But I know it`s a good chance for me to raise my ability.All I can do is do my best in the future.I am sure that Ms *** and my classmates can help me when I do something wrong. Because they`re all very kind.It`s a pleasure to work and study with them.I`m really very happy.I`m not an outstanding student in this class,but I can do the same thing like others.I believe I won`t make anyone disappointed.
史蒂夫·麦奎因用近乎真实的手法再现了一个残酷时代下的悲情个体,并用一系列近似冷漠的“旁观式长镜头”来制造一种冷酷氛围,以致于让观影者在观看过程中能够分明的感受到一种压抑、难受甚至恶心。固定的机位,漫长的镜头,残酷的鞭打,毫不回避的表现伤痕,这是《为奴十二年》震撼人心的镜头之一。与之类似的镜头还出此刻所罗门被吊在树干上,双脚需要不断的点踩才能保障不被吊死的桥段。闷热的天气,无情的绳索,克制又不回避的长镜头,让发生在十九世纪美国南方的残酷一展无遗。尽管文化的差异和历史的不同,让我们很难真正的产生某种共鸣,但电影所营造的压迫式氛围还是能让我们感受得到失去自由的痛苦是多么令人难受。
《为奴十二年》没打算靠恶心别人来成全自己,而是透过直逼内心的拷问来引出对自由,对尊严,对生活的思考。没有刻意的夸张,没有顾虑的回避,基于真实的去表现,是这部电影令人肃然起敬的地方之一。
而这样一部在故事情节上并不那么跌宕起伏甚至自始至终平淡无奇的电影之所以能紧紧抓住观众的心,靠的也不仅仅仅是那些令人震撼的真实。而是由这股真实所延伸出来的关于自由与生活的思考好处。一个人在失去自由之后,所余下的'期望往往就是对生活的渴望。正如影片主人公所罗门发自肺腑地呐喊所抒发的那样,在失去自由之后,所要的并不仅仅仅是生存,而是生活。如果说,个体的命运在时代背景下只能表现出一种对生存的基本条件孜孜不倦时,就已经说明这个时代的悲哀已到了某种恐怖的地步。当人们丧失了对自由的渴望、对生活的追求时,一种冷酷就已然构成。好在还有像所罗门、帕特茜、巴斯这样的人还保留着对自由和生活的渴求,并在追逐自由与生活的过程中具备着堪称伟大的勇气。十二年,对于一个以前享受着自由,拥抱着幸福生活的人而言,其所背负的失去自由所带来的痛苦以及远离生活所带来的绝望,是不可想象的。
正是影片所表现出来的失去自由的痛苦与远离生活的绝望是那么的真实,才凸显了追逐自由的勇气是多么可贵,追求生活的坚韧是多么可敬。失去才会懂得珍惜,影片也透过这样一种方式,来告诫人们,拥有自由与生活是多么珍贵。很多人看完电影之后会先长吁一口气,进而又有一股莫名的庆幸,是因为,没有自由与生活叫人压抑得难受,而拥有自由与生活又是那么的幸福。《为奴十二年》也正是用这样的方式带给了一种警示与思考,让人们得以有机会重新认识到自由与生活的珍贵。这是这部电影在影片结束之后还能熠熠生辉的地方,也是它足以叫人肃人起敬之处。
当我们在抱怨生活的各种人艰不拆时,我们其实也是部分人羡慕嫉妒恨的对象。要明白,那些被拐骗至黑砖窑的人,那些被迫每一天上街乞讨的人,以及其他被控制了自由的人,他们对自由与生活的渴求,是否也能坚持个十二年?这很难想象,因为太过残酷。我们能够做的,其实就是好好的珍惜掌控在自己手中的那份自由,好好的珍惜或咸或淡的生活,好好的,把握每一个新的一天。
