《少年派的奇幻漂流》成人的童话故事

有人说,2012之后,是踏入精神层面的年代。从《天与地》关于人吃人的题材,到《少年派》里面用童话般的故事去美化人性。我开始有点相信,我们已经开始撤离,丧尸和魔法少年的年代。正视自己的信仰,面对和接受人性可怕的一面,是导演希望表达的。


刚看完《我的神啊》一部质疑信仰的电影,再观看《少年派》,不难发现他们相似逗趣的地方,都是他们用最浅白,貌似童话般诉说着严肃的信仰问题。他们让观众可以用另一个角度,观感去体会出一些让我们感到愤怒和不平的事实。

华人有句:“初生牛犊不怕虎”,当里面的小犊变成一只老虎后,他还会害怕老虎吗?由于每个人的信仰都不一样,因此很难去评价人和生命的价值。正如很多人都说,“现代”的宫廷戏,都是在反映“现代”社会的人性,因此得到热棒。而当少年童话,反映成,成人的生存历程下,再成熟的人也都凌可相信,这个世界上是真的有“神”。

如果说信仰造就了战争,那么毫无信仰创造出来的就是出卖人性。李安这部《少年派》和他过去的作品都难以得到我的共鸣,大概是因为我们的信仰并不一样。虽然我喜欢童话故事,但是喜欢童话并不相等于接受童话。从质疑历史到质疑信仰,从坚守原则到放弃原则,再重整自己的一套人生哲理。我们都不得不承认,不管是当个神,还是人吃人,套句:“当个活着的禽兽,还是当死去的好人”,我们都不断在说服自己,把自己的行为合理化。

大家过去所信仰的,“善有善报,恶有恶报”等等的说法,已经无法再恐吓谁了。如果一个人无法和自己成为朋友,就像少年和老虎一样,即使天不亡你,那个人也活不长。反之,为了生存,渴望生产,人吃人又算得了什么。当天不助你,人总要自救,只要能活下,才能证明神是存在的。而人对生命的渴求,往往是超乎人自己可以想象的。对于信仰不也是一样吗?人可以为了自己的信仰失去自己的性命,也能为了别人的信仰牺牲自己。说到底,我们都不过想证明,自己的信仰是正确的。

It is said that after 2012, entered the era of the spiritual dimension. Cannibalism theme from "heaven and earth" to "young faction" inside story with a fairy tale to beautify humanity. I began to believe that a little bit, we had begun to leave, the young age of zombies and magic. To face up to their own beliefs, to face and accept humanity terrible, the director wanted to express.

Just finished watching the movie "O my God" a questioning of faith, and then watch the "Young School", it is not difficult to find them similar funny place, are they using the most plain, looks like a fairy-tale tells of the serious issues of faith. They allow the audience to another point of view, the perception can be used to understand the fact that we are angry and uneven.

Chinese saying: "fearless", inside the calves into a tiger, he will be afraid of the tiger? Since each person's faith is not the same, so it is difficult to evaluate and the value of life. As a lot of people say, the palace of the "modern" opera, are reflecting the humanity of the "modern" society, so to get a hot rod. When a juvenile fairy tales reflect adult survival course, mature people are Ling can believe that this world is really "God".


If faith created a war, then there is no belief in creation is the seller. Ang Lee 'Junior School "and he works hard to get past my sympathy, probably because our beliefs are not the same. Although I like a fairy tale, but like the fairy tale is not equivalent to accept the fairy tale. Questioned history to question the beliefs, stick to our principles to give up the principle of reforming its own set of philosophies of life. We all have to admit that, whether it is as a god, or cannibalism, a blessing or a curse: "When beasts alive or dead good man, we are constantly convince myself to rationalize their behavior.


We have faith, "what goes around, comes around," and so to say, has been unable to intimidate anyone. If a person can not become friends, like teenagers and Tiger, even if the day is not dead you, man may not live long. Conversely, in order to survive, the desire for production, cannibalism what did it matter. The day does not help you, people always want to help themselves, can live under in order to prove that God is there. The people thirst for life, often than people can imagine. For faith is not the same? People can lose their lives for their faith, to sacrifice themselves for the beliefs of others. In the final analysis, we are nothing but want to prove that their own beliefs are correct.

《逆世界》不光是一部爱情电影

《逆世界》确实是一部很出色的爱情电影,不光男的帅女的俏,更因为背景和画面都美得像画。抛故事的外衣,大家都不难发现,这是一部青蛙王子的故事。女主的世界是属于上流世界,而男主角的世界是相较于贫穷。而女主角的世界正是不断没夺,男主角世界的一切造就自己的富裕。

故事非常浅白,同时也反映着贫富差距越大的现今社会。 男主角靠着自己的能力不断往上爬,为的就是希望有一天可以去到女主的世界。只是,每回当他差点可以说明一切前,他就得从天堂掉到地狱。那不也是现代穷困少年的处境,那怕你再有创意,再努力,都不能有任何非份之想,不然就会掉入万劫不复的处境。幸运的是,男主角遇上了好人,才造就了完美的结局。只是,现实里面,又有多少人可以遇上故事里面的好人。

说到最后,男主角还是靠着上面世界里面的人,才得以翻身。再好的创意,如果拿不到版权,没有发展的资金,得不到自由,就什么也做不了。而故事里面,被上面世界开除的科技部员工,是在反映着谁,其实也不难猜。科技发展到尽头,需要的就不再是电脑科技,而是生物科技。当人变得无所不能,就希望当神,不论是性别,还是生老病死,都希望可以掌控在自己手上。

大胆且勇敢的男女主角,幸运的战胜了地心吸力和经济霸权,改造了整个《逆世界》。而我们呢?又会那么幸运,遇上个伯乐吗? 再说,男主角也有祖传秘决,我们拥有什么呢?因此,《逆世界》不光是一部爱情电影,它还是一部大胆的科技电影,而且不少情节是值得观众去深思的。毕竟,要改变自己的命运,总得从自己做起。不想贱卖自己的创意和心血,就得学会保护自己。

Journey to the West 《西游降魔篇》并非经典喜剧

看《西游降魔篇》时,会有一种不完整的感觉。同样,看《情癫大圣》时,也有一样的感觉。无独有偶,这两部剧的剧情,都讲述着唐三藏的爱情故事。女主角一样的强悍,也一样的痴情。敢大胆假设,《大话西游》后,刘导和周导曾经讨论过想拍类似的剧情,只是两人的表达手法有所不同。刘导往往着重于潮流趋势,梦幻和美感,从其他电影里面寻找精髓,骨子里都是港味和喜感。相对于周导,不难发现他往往强调外表不是最重要,拍摄时却又着重于于人物表情和肢体语言,那怕每一个细节和节奏都希望掌握的准确,也因为这样多了一份压力。因此,只觉得这两部作品都不是上佳之作。

独立来说,《西游降魔篇》给我一种沉重的感觉。或许是因为有国外公司投资的关系,《西游降魔篇》拍成了一部西方成人童话故事。题材和最近美剧还满相似的(童话故事里面的怪兽来到现代杀人那部),而周导拍得比他们强的地方就是,他利用自己多年拍剧的经验,强调也着重于演员的面部表情和肢体语言。严格来说,其实这样是很不自然和造作的,不过就因为是周导的作品,这种拍摄手法,反而成为了他的招牌之作。其次,不用大牌演员,和干脆的拍摄手法,值得一赞。过去周导的作品,总是给人“喧宾夺主”的感觉,而这回套用了不是港星的演员,倒是拍出了“画龙添睛”。

只可惜,有着喜剧的剧套,却少了香港喜剧的精神。当然,周导的作品一向观众群都倾向于内地,只是这样的作品是否能满足内地观众却是未知数。对于,习惯于港产戏剧的我来说,周导这部作品有点无聊和缺乏新鲜感。就像第一回看《少林足球》会觉得很新鲜,第二回看《功夫》会觉得很有趣,可是当看完期待四年的《西游降魔篇》却感觉不过如此。里面的爱情重叠了,里面的对白几乎想不起来(有吗?),情节可笑点并不多,也没带半点创意。故事和电影拍摄很认真严禁,可是并不好笑。就像一道美食,用料烹饪和取材都很认真,花了好长时间,可是吃起来却淡而无味。那怕,知道食材很有营养,厨师很出名,可是不好吃就是不好吃。同理,一部喜剧,笑过即忘,固然肤浅,笑过后让你感觉没半点喜感,还带着淡淡的遗憾,也并非经典的喜剧。

See "Journey to the West fell monsters papers, there is a feeling of incomplete. Similarly, see "Tall Story", have the same feeling. Coincidentally, the story of two drama tells the love story of the Tripitaka. Heroine as tough as the infatuation. Bold hypothesis, "Westward Journey" Liu guide and Chou had discussed the want to make a similar plot, just two different methods of expression. Liu guide tend to focus on the trends, fantasy and beauty, to find the essence from the other movies inside bones are Hong Kong flavor and delight. He often emphasized appearance is not the most important, but when shooting focus on character expressions and body language, even if every detail and rhythm wish to master the accurate, but also because such a pressure relative to the weekly guide, it is not difficult to find . So, I just feel that these two works are not good for.

Independent, "Journey to the West fell monsters chapter," Give me a heavy feeling. Perhaps because of the relationship of foreign investment, "Journey to the West fell monsters papers made into a Western adult fairy tale. Theme and the recent U.S. drama full of similar (fairy tale inside the monster came modern murder Department), Chou looks stronger than they, he used his many years of filming experience, emphasizing the focus on the actor's facial expressions and body language. Strictly speaking, in fact, this is not natural and artificial, but because it is the works of the Chou, this shooting style, they became his signature for. Secondly, do not have the big-name actors, and simply shooting style worthy of commendation. The works of the past week guide always gives the "overwhelming" feeling, which apply not a Hong Kong movie star actor touches shoot "painted dragon Tim eyes.

Unfortunately, only has a comedy drama sets, but less of the spirit of the Hong Kong comedy. Of course, Chou's work has always been the audience tend to mainland, just whether this works to meet the the mainland audience but unknown. For me accustomed to the Hong Kong-produced drama, week guide this work a little boredom and lack of freshness. Like the first time to see the "Shaolin Soccer" will feel very fresh, look back at the "Kung Fu" will find it very interesting, but when they feel after reading to look forward to four years of "Journey to the West fell monsters papers just so. Love inside overlap inside the dialogue almost can not remember (have?), Ridiculous plot point not more, have not the slightest idea. The story and the film shoot very non-seriously, but not funny. Like a food material to be used for cooking and drawn very seriously, it took a long time, but taste it, it is insipid. Even if, know very nutritious ingredients, cook very well-known, but not delicious, is not very tasty. Similarly, a comedy, laugh over that is forgotten, of course, superficial, laugh after you feel not the slightest sense of joy, but also with a touch of regret, it is not the classic comedy.

Embarrassing way of Thai 囧《人再囧途之泰囧》难得的会心一笑





要不是因为票房出乎意外的惊人,也不会想去看《人再囧途之泰囧》。或许,这个就是“羊群效应”,虽然不知道为什么要进场,可是人人都进场,固然就会是好剧的心理盲点。有趣的是,前传《人在囧途》我居然也看过,所以很容易就会发现,其实两部剧都是换汤不换药。

那么何以此剧会黑马胜出,我想这个和外景有着系系相关的影响。如果外景是欧洲国家,反倒会有种疏离感。泰剧在国内盛行,也为此剧做了推手,毕竟泰国和韩国相较,还是泰国比较有亲切感。

有别于周星驰式的无厘头,徐峥是走大陆式的现实主义喜剧。故事就像,乡村老鼠和城市老鼠漂流记。在异乡,两人披肩而行,是传统的男人戏。如果勉强要说女主角,那么就只有范冰冰的客串而已。笑说,此剧绝无爱情,即使有也只有基情而已。

像这样的片,简单说,其实新加坡和大马有不少,实在不明白何以大卖。说是喜剧嘛,其实它并不能让你开怀大笑,尽其量也是会心一笑。唯一可以解析,那么就是他接地气。当然,大家也看腻了大制作且剧情空洞的大片。走平民路线,走大众化,至少得到蚁民的共鸣。虽说,没有国那有家,没有家那有你,只是,如果家人的感受都照顾不好,还有什么资格说爱国。在这个勾心斗角的社会里面,能看见或遇见单纯如主角也是一种福气。

If it were not because of the amazing box office unexpectedly, also will not want to go to the "embarrassing way of Thai embarrassing. Perhaps, this is the "herding" We do not know why you want to approach, but everyone approach, of course, will be a good drama psychological blind spot. Interesting prequel "embarrassing way" I actually seen, so it will find, in fact, two of the drama is a new name.

So why this play will be the dark horse to win, I think this location has a Department of the Department-related effects. If the location is a European country, and have actually kind of alienation. Thai drama prevailed in the country, do play push hands, after all, Thailand and South Korea compared to Thailand's more intimacy.

Unlike Stephen Chow does not make sense, Xu Zheng walk Continental realism comedy. The story is like, rural Mouse and the City Mouse Crusoe. Line in a foreign land, two shawls, traditional men play. If reluctantly say heroine, only Fan Bingbing cameo. Laughs, the play absolutely love, even if only the base situation.

Like this piece, simple fact, Singapore and Malaysia have a lot, really do not understand why the big sell. That is a comedy thing, in fact, it does not make you laugh, the best of the amount, is knowing smile. Only can resolve then his ground gas. Of course, we are also tired of watching the big production and large plot hole. Go the civilian route, take the popular least ants resonance. Although, there is no country home, home that you just, if the feelings of the family members to take care of the poor, what qualified to say patriotic. Could see the inside of the intrigue of the society, or to meet the simple, such as the main character is a blessing.

Oh My God! (2012) 偶滴神啊OMG


偶滴神啊 - 剧情

  影片讲述的是一个古玩店主Kanjibhai的故事。对于他来说,神灵和宗教无非就是个经商命题。他低价购进看起来年代久远的宗教神像,再以原价格的10倍卖出去。而那些容易上当受骗的信徒们却真以为这些是百年罕见的历史出土文物。所以,神对他来说最重要的作用就是最大的赚钱招牌。她的妻子和他截然不同,她是个虔诚的人,她尽自己最大的努力希望能弥补丈夫对神灵的亵渎。突然有一天,地震毁了他的古董店,他开始不信神了...



阿克谢·库玛尔一直是我喜欢的偶像,因此也是为了他才看此剧。只可惜,《偶滴神啊》他演的神并不是故事的主角。相对于,一直饰演配角的帕莱什·拉瓦尔,饰演挑战神的角色,相当到位。以销售神像为主的商人,一直不相信神并嘲笑朝拜“神”并不让人意外。因为,没有被“神”兼顾的人实在太多,会产生质疑并不让人意外。就像,现在的政局,有被国家政府真正照顾到的又有几人。

最让我意外的,还是印度法庭居然会接受主角的案子。当大家都觉得,主角的冒犯行为是活该,自私自利又不尊重神的行为很荒唐。当老天也要惩罚他的时候,他居然还可以理智的去保险索赔。对他的好感不期然的在提升着,当他对保险公司,对神的质疑做出提控时,也产生着共鸣和认同。确实,保险公司是不对天灾人祸做出补偿的,可是保险不就是保障难以预计的危险吗?人们每天虔诚的去拜神,为什么神要去惩罚无辜的人呢?其中,神和人之间的中介,“神媒”自然就是该负责任的一方。我们一直被主角和电影牵着鼻子走,只因为他的奇特点子和辩才。

不过,以局外人来看,借着神为赚钱工具的主角,难道就真的不应该受到惩罚?他和那些神媒又有些什么分别。如果不是他的利益受到伤害和威胁,他会站出来做出控诉吗?换是别人控诉他的话,主角又会怎么说呢?他不辞神媒诈财的行为,他每天的生意不也是“借神发财”。主角不应该是英雄,尽其量他只能算是一个人,一个再平凡不过,不愿意向命运低头的人。把神的角色换为政府,把人民代议士带入为“神媒”,那么主角的角色还是一位平凡的商人,就像我们一样,每天在售卖着我们的才能。直到一天,老天要惩罚我们,我们也变得无可奈何。

主角虽然有点愤青,不过他说的确实也是事实。至少他是一个愿意究根到底的人,他会问,倒掉的牛奶到那去?为什么,人居然愿意把牛奶倒给神像也不愿意把牛奶送给寺庙外的乞丐。笑,为什么?因为,他们相信神可以给予他们保障和利用,而乞丐什么都无法回报他们。或许说,我们不应该推崇施舍乞讨文化,不过更应该检讨朝拜行贿文化。正如,“神”自己说的,其实他需要的并不是这些。相反,神因人而存在,而不是因为有神才产生信仰,只要人有良知,信仰也自然会产生。

记得在某部电影里面,有句经典的对白是谈论到神的,他说:“什么是神?神就是能做到,平凡人无法做到的事情。”(大意如此)此话更深一层意思,可以体现在此剧。当主角遇难时,他说,能在他失去房子时给予他房子,在他无法温饱时给予他食物,在神死边缘给予挽手的就是他的神。而提供这一切的,在我们日常生活里面的并不是神,而是“朋友”。“神”自己也说他是人的朋友,而不是偶像。因为,只有身边的朋友,才会最清楚咱们的需要。能及时给予挽助的朋友,已经远超于神可以做的。因此,好好珍惜身边的朋友吧!

Akshay Kumar & Paresh Rawal has always been my favorite idol, and therefore also for him to see the play. Unfortunately, "Oudi God to his speech of God is not the protagonist of the story. With respect, has always played the supporting role of the Pales Lawal, played the role of the challenges God quite a place. Sales statues based businessman, has been not to believe in God and to ridicule worship "God" is not surprising. Not be both "God" too many people, the question is not surprising. Like the Council, to really take care of the national government and several people.

Me the most unexpected Indian court actually accept the case of the protagonist. When we all feel, the protagonist of offensive behavior deserve selfishness without respect for God's behavior is absurd. When God should punish him, he can actually also sensible to go insurance claims. Hold it against him could not help in upgrading to make charges against his insurance company, questioned God, but also generate sympathy and recognition. Indeed, the insurance company is not right insurance protection is difficult to predict the risk of natural and man-made disasters to compensate, but it? The daily devout people to worship, why God going to punish innocent people? Intermediary between God and man, "God media" nature is the responsible party. Protagonist and movies we have been led by the nose, only because of his strange ideas and eloquence.

However, as an outsider view, by God money tools protagonist, it really should not be punished? He and those god media there, what, respectively. If not harm his interests and threats, he will stand up to make a complaint? Change others accusing him, the protagonist would be how do you say? He endure the to God the media Zhacai behavior, his daily business is "by God to get rich. Protagonist should not be a hero, do its amount can only be regarded as a person, an ordinary However, people do not want to bow to fate. To change God's role for the government, the elected representatives of the people into God media ", then the role of the protagonist or an extraordinary businessman, just like we do every day selling we can. Until one day, God wants to punish us, we become helpless.

Protagonist, although a bit angry youth, but he said that indeed is a fact. At least he is a willing to study root in the end, he will ask, the drained milk going there? Why, the man was willing poured the milk to the statue also do not want to put the milk given to beggars outside the temple. Laugh, why? Because they believe that God can give them protection and utilization, and the beggar what they are unable to return. Might say, we should not be admired to alms begging cultures, but more should be review worship bribery culture. Just as, "God said to myself, in fact, he need not. Instead, God people exist, rather than to generate faith because God only, as long as a person with a conscience, belief naturally produces.

Remember the inside of a movie is a classic dialogue is talking about God, he said: "What is God? God is able to do, and ordinary people can not do things." (Effect) remark deeper meaning can be reflected in the play. When the protagonist is killed, he said, when he lost the house to give his house to give him food, he could not have enough to eat and wear, edge given to the death of God the Wanshou is his God. Provide all of this, in our daily life inside is not God, but a "friend." "God himself said that he is the friend of the people, not the idol. Because only her friends, will be the most aware of our needs. Timely given harness to help a friend, has been far more than God can do. Therefore, cherish her friends!
