Blade Runner 家庭樂

我十分喜歡看電影,各類都看,一部令我著迷的電影我可以重看又重看;老婆則不然,她對電影的興趣不大,幾乎甚麼電影對她來說也是可看可不看,看完也絕少會拍掌叫好。就算看,她的口味和我的也有很大分別,試過幾次隆重推薦一部自己愛極的電影給她看,結果都是她並不欣賞。最記得的一次是韓國電影 Oasis,老婆看完後頗為不悅,說電影看得她心裏很不舒服;幸好我沒有叫她看 Oldboy,否則定要捱罵(其實也有例外的,出乎我意料,她竟然喜歡侯孝賢的《海上花》)。

兒子則不同了,看電影的口味和我相近,Run Lola Run 我們就一同看了三次;和我一樣,他也迷上希治閣,也和我一樣,尤其喜歡《迷魂記》(Vertigo)。早一陣子我們父子倆一同看了 Blade Runner,他是第一次看,我已是重看了,結果他很喜歡,看完後還跟我討論了一輪電影裏的一些值得斟酌的地方。

Blade Runner好幾個版本,我們看的是 The Director’s Cut,這個版本的影像和音響質素都不高。幾個星期前我買了另一個版本 The Final Cut 的 DVD,兒子知道了,便嚷著也要再看 Blade Runner 一次。早兩天晚飯後,老婆竟突然想看電影,我便順水推舟 --- 帶點冒險地 --- 提議全家一起看 Blade Runner: The Final Cut

電影看到一半,我鑒言辨色,已看出老婆不大欣賞;終於看完了,我問老婆覺得電影如何,她果然說不喜歡。我和兒子則相反,看完這個版本後對這部電影的評價更高,並開始討論一些上次沒有談及的細節和兩個版本的差異。我們講呀講呀,口水亂飛,竟然逐漸感染了老婆,也開始噴口水了;她參與討論後,逐漸發現這電影可堪咀嚼的地方可真不少,於是多了幾分欣賞。

兒子已和我在密謀,下次要拉媽媽一起看希治閣的早期電影 Lifeboat

  6. 我和老公都很喜歡Blade Runner。《迷魂記》,看過很多次。金露華靚到呢……上次借了碟給同事看,對方話結局太早講穿,不好看。唉。

    Lifeboat,看過,家中有碟。我家有希始閣更早期的黑白作品。

  8. 現在很難再有Blade Runner那樣深邃而悲哀的科幻電影了.好奇怪,科幻電影竟然是越舊越好看(第一齣想到的便是大都會)

  9. I just saw Poetry by Lee Chang Dong last week in the theatre and am planning to watch Oasis and Secret Sunshine by the same director. I heard one of the criticisms of Oasis is the romanticization of rape. I could see why Mrs. Wong didn't like it. I'll see how I like the film myself soon.

    My husband and I have different tastes in films (like he's crazy about Johnny To's films but I am very lukewarm about them) but we have enough of an overlap in interests. We are both crazy Wong Kar Wai fans. We have watched his films over and over again. My husband has a lot of the dialogues memorized and would just randomly quote from the films out of the blues - and expect that I know what he's talking about. One of the films we both love is Hirokazu Koreeda's Still Walking. We talked and talked about it after a recent rewatch.

    We got a boxset of Hitchcock films and were supposed to go through them. Too many other films we wanted to watch and haven't gotten to them yet.

    - 你是假定我的太太大人會看我的blog了;你的假定是對的,但我說的「密謀」,不是指要她看這電影,而是指說服她看的方法。

    - Indeed, though Run Lola Run is a bit too flashy.

  17. 想問Blade Runner的director's cut和final cut於劇情上有分別嗎?

    - I like Secret Sunshine too (how can I not?)! Haven't seen Poetry yet; I suppose it's good too. Oasis does romanticize rape, but I usually don't judge a film by moral standards.

    //One of the films we both love is Hirokazu Koreeda's Still Walking. We talked and talked about it after a recent rewatch. //

    - Haven't seen this one. Will see it.

    // Too many other films we wanted to watch and haven't gotten to them yet.//

    - Same here!

  24. Just finished Oasis. It is quite a powerful and disturbing (even for Korean film standard) film. The discomfort/uneasiness I believe is exactly what the director intends the audience to experience. I think there is exaggeration in the acting that i don't know if it was intentional or not - but the director does bring the audience to the characters' worlds of confines and frustration, to the point where one could feel it physically. I feel a strong urge to go to the batting cage now to release the built-up frustration.

    // I think there is exaggeration in the acting//

    - Do you mean the actress who plays the woman with cerebral palsy?

  26. And the male lead as well. I feel like everything is under a magnifier in the film. My husband thought the film should look grainy like in WKW's Happy Together. I argued that it was the director's intention to make everything looks bright and clear to the point that is abrasive. I think the acting is like that too.

  27. lin,

    //I argued that it was the director's intention to make everything looks bright and clear to the point that is abrasive. //

    - I agree. And don't forget the title of the film is "Oasis" (the original title "오아시스" means the same).

  28. Saw "Secret Sunshine" tonight. I was hoping the director would go further with the lead character's revenge and was wishing that she would succeed - but that's only because of my own "beef" with Christianity! I love the lead actress's acting in this film, especially in the scenes she was supposed to be happy after her conversion to Christianity. My husband discovered on the Internet that some Evangelical Christians in Hong Kong considered "Secret Sunshine" a 福音電影. It's baffling how some Christians interpreted the film.

    - Comparable to seeing Colbert as a true conservative.
