从《死亡诗社》到《百万宝贝》

个人日记

  下午看了二个电影,一个是好友推荐的《死亡诗社》,另一个是《百万宝贝(Million Dollar Baby)》,观影时间是128加132分钟。

  前者最精彩的部分在最后二十分钟,在此不去评价也无能力评论这部电影,只引用陈寅恪说过的“
独立之人格,自由之思想”来概括影片中威尔顿预备学院中的基廷老师及托德、尼尔等同学的追求吧(也不知是否恰当)。

  1989年的
伊桑·霍克是十八、九岁的少年郎,一脸的童真与稚嫩,他与另一个主要演员
罗伯特·肖恩·莱纳德(尼尔的扮演者)长得很像。喜欢伊桑·霍克在《少年时代》、《爱在....时》三部曲中的造型。

 

 

 
  
  

  《百万宝贝》着实精彩,无论是导演兼主演的克林特-伊斯特伍德,还是摩根·弗里曼、希拉里·斯万克,演技一流。克林特-伊斯特伍德在《廊桥遗梦》时,已经是65岁,而在《百万宝贝》中,他是75岁。用老帅哥、老戏骨来评价他是半点不为过的。

  下面摘录了这个电影的一些台词,作为对电影的回味。

Frankie:Tough aren't enough.
  弗兰基:光是凶狠并不够。

Frankie liked to say that boxing is an unnatural act that everything in boxing is backwards.Sometimes best way to diliver a punch is step back.
  弗兰基总喜欢说,拳击是一种不自然的运动,因为拳击中的每样东西都是逆向的,有时,打出一记重拳的最好方法是退后一步。

Some people would say the most important thing a  fighter can have is heart.Frankie would say,"Show me a fighter who's nothing but heart and I'll show you a man waiting for a beating."
  有些人会说对于一个拳手来说,最重要的莫过于热情。弗兰基则会说,给我一个只有热情的拳手,我会告诉他什么叫鼻青脸肿。

Shawrelle Berry had a left hook that would move a tank but he had a heart the size of a split pea.
  谢瑞尔·贝里的左勾拳可以打飞一辆坦克,但是他的心胸却像豆子一样小。

She grew up knowing one thing:She was trash.)
  在成长的过程中她只知道一件事:自己是个垃圾。

If there's magic in boxing it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance,beyond cracked ribs,ruptured kidneys and detached retinas.It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody see but you.
  如果拳击运动中有诀窍的话,那么这种诀窍就是不停战斗,超越耐力的极限,超越折断的肋骨,破裂的肾脏和脱落的视网膜。这种诀窍是为了别人无法了解的梦想而赌上一切。

There's some things people just don't want to hear.
  有些话人们永远都不愿意听。

I'm 32,Mr.Dunn.I'm celebrating that I spent another year scraping dishes and waitressing which is what I been doing since 13.And according to you,I'll be 37 before I can even throw a decent punch which after working this speed bag for a month and getting nowhere...I now realize may be God's simple truth.Other truth is,my brother's in prison...my sister cheats on welfare by pretending one of her kids is still alive...my daddy's  dead,and my mama weighs 312 pounds.I was thinking straight,I'd go back home...find a use trailer,buy a deep fryer and some Oreos.(www.duanjuzi.com)The problem is,this is the only thing I ever felt good doing.If I'm too old for this,then I got nothing.
  我32岁了,邓先生。我在这里庆祝,我又花了一年的时间洗盘子当女招待,根据您的理论,我37岁之前打不出一记像样的拳,打了这个梨球一个月,一点进展也没有...我现在认识到,上帝的现实也许就是这样。另外的现实时,我的哥哥在监狱里...我的妹妹假装自己的一个孩子还活着,诈骗福利金,我爸爸死了,我妈妈有312磅重。如果我还有理智的话,我应该回家去。找个二手的活动房屋,买个炸锅,再来点夹心饼干。问题是,这是我唯一喜欢做的事情。如果对于拳击来说我太老了,那我就一无所有。

To make a fighter,you gotta strip them down to bare wood.Rest when you're dead.You can't just tell them to forget everything you know...you gotta make them forget it in their bones.Make them so tired they only listen to you.Make them so tired they only listen to you.Only hear your voice.Only do what you say,and nothing else.
  训练一名拳手,你必须在精神上把它们剥光,死了再休息。你不能只是叫他们忘记以前知道的事情,你要叫他们从骨子里忘记。让他们疲惫到只听你的话,只能听你的声音,只做你叫他们做的事情,不做其他事。

Scrap:Thing is if you wanna get to the title maybe he's not the one to take you there.
  斯科雷普:重点是如果你想取得冠军,也许他并不是最好人选。

It's the rule.Always protect yourself.
  这就是规矩,随时保护自己。

Danger:I got a question,but I feel real stupid asking it.
  丹吉尔:我有个问题,可是我觉得问出来好傻。

Scrap:No such thing as a stupid question there,Danger.
  斯科雷普:丹吉尔,在这里没有问题愚蠢。

Danger:How'd you get all the ice in there through this little tiny hole?I've been thinking on it.Can't figure it out.You could do that?You could show me?
  丹吉尔:你怎么把冰块从这么小的口里放进去的?我一直都在想这个问题,但想不出来。你可以,你可以做给我看?

Scrap:I think so.I think so.
  斯科雷普:我想可以,我想可以。

Scrap:I found you a fighter and you made her the best fighter she could be.
  斯科雷普:我给你找到一个拳手,你让她发挥出了最大的潜力。

Frankie:I killed her.
  弗兰基:我杀了她。

Scrap:Don't say that.Maggie walked through that door with nothing with nothing but guts.No chance in the world of being what she needed to be.Ayear and a half later,she's fighting for the championship of the world.You did that.People die every day,Frankie.Mopping floors,washing dishes.And you know what their last thought is?"I never got my shot."Because of you,Maggie got her shot.If she dies today,you know what her last thought will be?"I think I did all right."I know I could rest with that.
  斯科雷普:别那么说。麦琪走进那扇门的时候,除了胆量什么都没有,根本就没有机会实现她的梦想。一年半以后,她在争夺世界冠军,那是你的功劳。弗兰基,每天都有人死去,拖地的时候,刷碗的时候,你知道他们最后一个念头是什么吗?“我从没有过机会,”因为有你,麦琪得到了属于她的机会。如果她今天就死去,你知道她最后一个念头是什么吗?"我觉得我干得不错",这样我会觉得心安理得的。

Frankie:Mo cuishle means “my darling,my blood.”
  弗兰基:“Mo cuishle”的意思是“我的挚爱,我的血肉”。
