12:46 AM - Million dollar baby



看過了5套的oscar nomination電影,(Ray今天剛看完),各有千秋,已寫了三套,現在說說金像電影。其實,我覺得MDB並非太吸引,所以便一直擱置下來。所以聞說此電影能奪奧斯卡最佳電影及導演大獎,實在有點驚訝。

這故事是由一個同名的短篇小說改篇,有次在書店忍不住看了結局,所以可能影響了我在電影院的感觀。 我不打算講出劇情,電影雖然以拳擊為題材,但背後蘊藏了富爭議性的道德觀念和宗教思想。可能是這原因,它的藝術性評價很高。但是,我並不覺得Clint Eastwood,的導演或說故事的技巧,能夠比史高西斯出色。直覺是oscar評審對Eastwood的情意結高於一切。

故事的節奏很慢,花很多的時間去描寫每個主角,而且每個演員都有充份的時間和空間發揮演技。整套電影及其人物都充滿淡淡的憂傷和衷愁,加上深黑色的電影海布,貫切了電影的主題。香港的觀眾能否接受這節奏,實在是見仁見智。我便是嫌它太慢的一位。

演員方面,兩位得獎的演員是實至名歸。尤其是Hilary,在電影的下半部有高難度的演譯。順帶一題,Annette Benning 在Being Julia也很出色,但Oscar慣例是把獎給演出physical challenge的演員,(如Jammie Fox的Ray Charles) ...無奈。

這次Oscar,若是我選最佳電影及導演,我會投Aviator,及史高西斯一票

香港就快上,直覺上我會幾喜歡,因為上次Clint Eastwood 套 Mystic River 幾合我心水,不過一切都要等欣賞過後先知。

又,有無睇"The Sea Inside" ?? 我覺得個男主角做得好好,可惜無份候選。
