简介:Out of the fifties 'B' Science-Fiction monster movies, this easily ranks as the best. It's most notable as the film that ALIEN is an unaccredited remake of, thus giving it a certain historical significance. The intriguing plot is about the rescue of the only marooned survivor (Col. Carruthers) of an ill-fated expedition to Mars. The authorities, pig-headed as usual, falsely assume that he murdered his fellow crew members, so that he'd have more provisions to survive; hence he is being brought back to Earth to face court-martial for murder. (There is also a somewhat interesting plot reversal here Most movies of this nature usually begin with the ship leaving Earth, enroute to its otherworld destination, while, in this case, the story is believed finished, and begins as the characters take-off from the other planet, returning to Earth). As the rescue ship is leaving Mars, a lurking, ominous shadow is seen in the lower compartment. (A frightening, atmospheric moment, accomplished through sheer economy and simplicity). Carruthers insists of his innocence to his fellow captors, claiming that his original crew mates were slaughtered by a hostile, unseen presence on the desolute red planet, but three-guesses as to their reaction to his unusual plea. Naturally, he can't prove it, and 50's space authorities were not very alien conscience at the time. (As a side-thought, unseen menace may remind you of that highly original BLAIR WITCH). As everyone sacks out, a hapless supporting charactor whose name is at the bottom of the casting list (guess what will happen to him) hears something in the lower compartment. Despite your futile don't go down there, you jerk! pleas, he does just that, and is appropriately killed (more like thoroughly obliterated) by the shadowy figure with insatiable blood lust on its mind. In the victim's case, dereliction of duty and sheer cowardliness would have been the wise decision. The scene is actually well-directed (for a change) and develops much suspense, as the entire film surprisingly does. The crew finally catches on that they have an unwanted ship crasher on board, and try every possible means at their disposal to eliminate it, but the unknown creature seems to copping an anti-death attitude. Proving to be an even more clever, worthy adversary, 'IT!' also hides out in the ventilation shafts of the ship (now that should ring a bell). Cahn's forceful direction generates considerable tension as the malevolent stowaway works its way up from one level of the confined ship to the next, eventually leaving the remaining characters trapped at the top. The movie's suspense is blunt and right to the point IT!' has to kill them or starve, hence they have to kill IT! or die. Nothing like those no two ways about it choices. Rent it, or check for it on cable if you wish to know the outcome. For a low-budget quickie, IT! is quite impressive and memorable. The dreaded sense of claustrophobic tension, rendering the characters' helpless entrapment, is highly effective. This is a production in which the limited budget and small sets actually work in favor of the plot's scary ambience. The black white photography (Yes, it's one of those!) helps to enhance its dark, creepy mood, and the sense of apprehension is quite high. (Modern day color freaks never seem to take that into consideration). The plot is also somewhat cynically ironic If the creature hadn't stowed away on the ship, Carruthers would have most likely been found guilty of the charges against him. The intelligent script (see what I mean about rareity) was penned by noted Science-Fiction author Jerome Bixby (remember Twilight Zone's It's a Good Life) The picture's taut editing eliminates any extraneous dross. (ALIEN tended to drag in its first hour with its sophomoric dialogue, and why did it have to include that stupid and ultimately counter-productive sub-plot of Ash being a robot, and further dragging the story down to another big bad conspiracy cliche UNNECESSARY!!!) Director Cahn astutely keeps the rubber-suited monster off-screen and in the shadows through-out most of the proceedings, keeping your paranoid imagination on constant alert. Unfortunately, perhaps at the studio's commercial insistance, it is a little over-revealed at the climax, but I haven't claimed this to be the perfect masterpiece. The performances, though nothing award-winning, are nevertheless cool enough so that one becomes sincerely concerned as to their fates. Not many movies in recent times ever come close to achieving that. They can be over-produced from here to eternity, and usually only succeed in being gloriously annoying. This film's story is not really totally original (what is), for it is based on A.E. Van Vogt's VOYAGE OF THE SPACE BEAGLE. All ALIEN fanatics should track down an old used copy to see where the initial influence came from. As long as you're not craving another CGI wind-ding, you may find it worthwhile. Just don't expect the women to be Ripley precursors. This was still the sock-knitting fifties, sad to say.

简介: 老片《希望与荣耀》Hope and Glory (1987),通过一个九岁男孩的眼睛描绘了二战初期的伦敦,这个被认为是后方的地方,其实是另一个战场。 多少影片表述过战争的残酷,多少影片告诉你,战争的摧毁之手,让一切纯真消失殆尽,一切美好化为乌有。比如引起轰动的类似题材《安妮日记》,冷静而残忍地告诉你,怎样的保护,怎样的小心翼翼,纯真便是世上最脆弱而一触即破的东西,在残忍的实事来临时,其命运就是一点一滴消失在记忆之中。 然而Billy Rowan 的纯真奇迹般的幸存了下来。 影片的可贵之处,在于一个不落俗套的视角,一群无名而自然的演员,一个美丽而坚定的故事。 (一) 父亲 倘若大人们知道在孩子的眼睛里他们有多么普通,他们一定会很惊异。 Billy 的父亲参军了,与他的朋友和战友一起唏嘘感叹着国家、责任、荣誉、家庭。满腔热情与决心,满怀有些不切实际但是忠诚的决心奔向前方。 于是将这场特殊的战争丢给了女人与孩子。 “Billy,我回家教你打曲棍球。”父亲在他们家的花园里挖了一个防空洞,仿佛,有许多话突然想要对年幼的儿子说,却最后说了这些话。 看着眼中满是热泪、激情澎湃的父亲,Billy小声对他的6岁的妹妹Sue说: ”别担心,Sue, 我们长大了决不会像他们这样。” (二) Billy Billy与 Sue依旧如常地天天去上学,每天早晨穿过满是轰炸废墟的街道前往学校。上课时他们会突然接到防空警报,带着面具呆在防空洞里背九九乘法表。老师们依旧孜孜不倦,英国人天生的固执与临危不乱,一切秩序在混乱中依旧是秩序——什么叫做真正的绅士。 然而战争中的游戏却有些特殊。 Billy被一群在废墟中玩耍的孩子抓到了,他最终因为能够非常有魄力地说出一个神圣的脏词(经典的Fxxk)而被刮目相看,从而成为他们的一员,从此开始了他的废墟冒险经历,在废墟上,真的是什么都能找到,男孩子过剩的精力,在寻找各种秘密物品、收集各种武器碎片中得到了充分的发泄。 有过一两次,他也接近了真实的边缘,女同学Molly的妈妈被炸死了,房子炸没了,孩子们的反应是这样的: 男孩a:“Molly妈妈昨天被炸死了。” Billy: “才不是真的呢!” 男孩a“是真的,Molly妈妈被炸死了。” Billy :“才不是真的呢!” 男孩a;“是真的,她就在那里,不信你自己去问她。” 。。。 Billy:“Sue, 你去问问Molly, 她妈妈是不是被炸死了。” Sue;“你自己为什么不去问?” Billy:“你去,因为你是女孩子。” Sue走了过去,Molly默默点了点头。 。。。 Billy:“Molly妈妈昨天被炸死了。” 男孩b: “才不是真的呢!” Billy “是真的,Molly妈妈被炸死了。” 男孩 b :“才不是真的呢!” Billy;“是真的,她就在那里,不信你自己去问她。” 。。。 战争的残酷就在他们身边,然而,战争的残酷与悲痛也同时离他们遥远, 孩子的心,依旧是孩子的心。 (三) 母亲 Grace是个典雅的名字。是Grace(感恩), Hope(希望), Charity(慈善),Faith(信仰)四姐妹之一, 从小被培养的是音乐:钢琴、小提琴。(四姐妹的父亲说,要四个女儿干什么?当然是组成玄乐四重奏!!!)结婚后则是一个有点保守的贤妻良母。没有见过大世面,没有见过战争,但是,有的是勇气。一种从优越的生活中坚定地走出来,肩扛起孩子与家庭的勇气。 单薄的肩膀,无畏的胸怀。 澳大利亚有亲戚可以暂时收养两个小的孩子。她在Billy与Sue的脖子上挂纸牌子,送他们上火车站。 “我看不见战争全是你的错!”Billy冲她嚷道。 她默默看着两个孩子远去的背影,泪水模糊了视野。 但是, 就在最后一刻之前,她冲过栏杆,一反往日的温文尔雅,大声叫道: I want them BACK!!! “妈妈,你让我们尴尬透了。”Billy不满的说。 然而母亲已经抹去了泪痕。 一个母亲的勇敢,在于她从没有和她的孩子们分开。 (四) 姐姐 战争中的女孩子长得飞快。 丝袜没有了,她让Billy在她腿上画一条袜子的线,就这么大大咧咧前去与休假的士兵们跳舞狂欢。 战争让矜持让出了道路,让火花燃烧得更快更旺。 对着误落城区的德国飞行员微笑会被母亲责打,那么对着盟军士兵微笑总可以吧? 可是母亲抓住了她,一把抓掉她的头巾,看着她涂了胭脂的嘴唇。 “有我在就不许你打扮成这样半夜溜出去!”母亲说。 母女间爆发了一场典型的冲突。结局却不是典型的。而是战争时期特有的。 “这么爱他,你就去吧。”母亲含着泪说。 可是当年轻人向她求婚时她却没答应。谁知到明天会怎样呢,什么都有可能,婚姻是什么?快乐又是什么?她将求婚的戒指扔到花园里,自己生死未卜,有什么资格要求别人承诺? 她只是把她已经怀孕的消息告诉了母亲。 (五) 乡间湖畔 他们的房子不是被轰炸掉的,是煤气引起了一场火灾。结果连同母亲的配给证一起被烧毁了。 于是他们只好一起来到外祖父的乡间小屋里去渡过暑假。 愤世嫉俗的外祖父,看似严厉,却带给了Billy一个最值得回忆的假期。 如果不是战争,就没有这一切。如果不是这依山傍水的乡间别墅,不是这老小孩似可爱的外祖父,不是这一片在残酷世界中依旧高尚而纯洁的心,不是这张结在一起地亲情之网。 这一双纯洁的眼睛要如何幸存于世呢? 1)Billy在河里打捞了所有被一个误投的炸弹打上河面的鱼——够他们吃好几个月的了。 2)姐姐的男朋友听到消息做了逃兵,不过他被宪兵带回去以前,与大肚子的姐姐举行了婚礼。 3)Billy向外祖父学了怎么投“变化球” 4)爸爸回来度假,妈妈对他说,她再也不离开乡下了。 5)姐姐在客厅的沙发上生了孩子。 6)丘吉尔发表了“开始阶段的结束”的演说 这都是那年夏天发生的故事。 (六)结尾 假期结束的时候,外祖父开车送Billy回学校,抱怨着浪费了最后一罐黑市汽油送外孙让无聊的人给他灌输无用的想法。 结果,Billy 却看见学校里一片混乱,校长大声呼喊,有人拿书砸了老师的头,一个同班同学跑过来对Billy说: “They blew up the school! Thank you Adolph!” (他们炸了学校!谢谢阿道夫!) 于是外祖父又载着Billy回家了。 当记忆中的痛苦和仇恨时间冲淡了以后,是否还能保留纯洁,就要看你的心是怎样的。
