《珍爱》这电影给人深刻印象

2010-07-12来源:和谐英语

  If I had known what Precious was about, I probably wouldn’t have wanted to see it. Just too dark and depressing. You can’t really tell a story like Precious successfully if you aren’t daring your audience to drive the nearest knife into their wrists. Kudos, then, to screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher and director Lee Daniels for injecting at least some humor and hope into the film. About midway through the movie I was pretty astonished that, despite the rough hand our central character, Precious, was dealt, the movie is undeniably entertaining. It hooked me. I cared. I wanted a happy ending, and even though things got even worse from that point on for her, I believe what the film believes: that the good and strength in people doesn’t always prevail, but it can. I trusted in Precious’ strength, even if we only see it in snippets early on.

  要是我之前知道《珍爱》这部电影的内容,我很可能就不会去看了,因为该片太过阴郁和令人压抑。如果不敢冒险,让观众有一种似被利刃直接刺入手腕的感觉,该片导演绝对无法成功讲述《珍爱》这个故事。但该片编剧杰弗里·弗莱彻和导演李·丹尼斯令人称道的地方就在于他们至少给电影注入了一些幽默和希望。电影进行到中段的时候,我相当惊讶地发现,虽然影片的主人公“珍爱”受到了粗暴的对待,但影片不可否认地引人入胜。它完全把我吸引住了。我关注情节的发展,我希望能有一个大团圆的结局。即使从那一刻开始,主人公的境遇更加糟糕,我仍然相信这部电影本身所笃信的东西:人们身上的美好和力量或许无法在对抗不公的命运时战无不胜,但它们终会获胜。我相信“珍爱”的力量,即使我们只是在电影开篇时看到了一星半点这种力量的闪现。

   Gabourey Sidibe deserves the Oscar nomination. I’ve seen her in interviews, making the rounds of all the talk shows, and she couldn’t be more different than her character. I only point this out because I will admit to wondering if Sidibe — unfair as it might be — was essentially playing a version of herself might be both a tribute to her work and an insult to the actress. She’s bursting with life, where Precious has it buried and burning inside.

  加伯瑞·斯迪比应该获得奥斯卡奖的提名。我看到过她接受采访,并多次参加脱口秀节目,她同她所塑造的主人公简直太不一样了。我之所以仅仅指出这一点,是因为我想表明,那些怀疑加伯瑞很可能是在进行本色表演的说法是不公正的,这种说法一方面是对她表演到位的褒奖,另一方面也是对她的侮辱。加伯瑞本人充满活力,而影片中的主人公“珍爱”却把对生活的热爱深埋在心底,只让其在心底燃烧。
