《楚门的世界》
影片中出现了三处可以被认为是在向《楚门的世界》致敬的地方:
1. 当众多记者围着麦当孬的房子时,金鱼说了句:welcome to our world
2. 飞机轮子掉下来砸死12人
3. 为女主角手术取子弹时,护士问主刀医生:什么时候去斐济
任何一点都不足以支撑这个猜测,但这③点在一起应该足以打倒一切反驳了吧。
片中的象征
金鱼,出于自己与自己对话的需要,麦当孬将另一个我移到了金鱼身上。
蜂鸟,直到片尾女主角变成蜂鸟,才发现麦当孬家里的蜂鸟代表的是?中美好的东西,遗憾的是那只蜂鸟似乎被限死在一个非常狭小的空间。也正是麦当孬心中的美好意象被缩小、压抑的写实。
舞女人偶,能light up the room的女主角每次经过办公室跟麦当孬说话时,大概都是用这个人偶在调侃他,甚至可能是只有在用人偶调侃他时才与他说话,于是人偶也就成了麦当孬?中女主角的化身。而人偶被摔坏也是促使他终于采取行动的原因之一。
火柴上的画,貌似是一个天使(?)飞向太阳,一方面可看作艺术,而另一方面也反应了麦当孬对美好的向往,只是这种向往被缩小得要用放大镜才能看见,相应的是自卑的放大。
呃,应该还有好些。。。
轮椅
A woman disabled physically enables a man to rise psychologically. 这是看到麦当孬骑在草坪机上的幻想是想到的,没细研究对不对。。。
飞机轮子
飞机轮子事件,除了上面说的是向《楚门的世界》致敬之外,也是剧情需要。因为飞机轮子落下吸引了那些记者,于是麦当孬的生活才能从记者的包围中走出来。金鱼说了句we are not in the fifteen minutes,大致是这样。
片头独白
片头独白也是一大亮点,无聊背背玩,哈哈。。。
It was easier in the past. A man know what it was to be a man. You stood up for things that were wrong. You had the right to do so. You were expected to do so. The way you lived,the training you put yourself throgh prepared you for the inevitable confrontations ones that could end in dismemberment or even death. Then sth. happened. We passed laws of decency. Lawers become our shepherds. And what was once a fairly easy thing to understand become muddled in the bureaucracy of what we call being civilized. A man could no longer stand up to the wrongs that were around him. He had to go through courts and lawyers.And trude through miles of red tape. Women demanded equality,and she got it,not by getting everything the man had,but by the man being castrated in the form of order. I don not care what you say. That is not progress. It is not evolution. It is disease,and it needs someone that understands what is at stake,someone who can stand up like a real man. And take action against injustice and unfairness in this world.
