Daniel Day Lewis把SAG影帝榮譽獻給Heath Ledger





很感人的一刻......

"Thank you. I’m very, very proud of this. Thank you so much for giving it to me. And I’m very proud to be included in that group of wonderful actors this year.

You know, for as long as I can remember, the thing that gave me a sense of wonderment, of renewal, the thing that teased me with the question, how is such a thing possible, and then dare you to go back into the arena of one more time, with longing and self-doubt, jostling in the balance. It’s always been the work of other actors, and there are many actors in this room tonight, including my fellow nominees who have given that sense of regeneration and…

Heath Ledger gave it to me. In “Monster’s Ball,” that character that he created, it seemed to be almost like an unformed being, retreating from themselves, retreating from his father, from his life, even retreating from us, and yet we wanted to follow him, and yet we’re scared to follow him almost. It was unique. And then, of course, in “Brokeback Mountain,” he was unique, he was perfect. And that scene in the trailer at the end of the film is as moving as anything that I think I’ve ever seen. And I’d like to dedicate this to Heath Ledger. So, thank you very much. Thank you so much.

《American Gangster 犯罪帝國》: 非黑不等同於即白

金球獎提名最佳電影/導演/男主角, 又於演員公會獲得全體演員獎提名, Ridley Scott/Denzel Washington/Russell Crowe三大POWER HOUSE, 沒理由是不值得期待的。

Frank Lucas(Denzel Washington/最有型男星 No.9)繼承紐約某黑幫大佬的遺業, 為令不要一世寄於白種人之下而親到越南入毒品返回美國販賣, 因價廉品質高而大受歡迎, 害了賣溝淡貨的行家, 當然亦更禍害了更多吸毒者及其家人。而負責調查此案的新澤西探員, 便是Russell Crowe(最有型男星 No.8)飾演的Richie Roberts.....

兩位黑白影帝兼巨星在電影中其實碰頭不多, 主要時間是黑白兩道周旋各自各發展。Denzel Washington的角色較有發揮機會, 而Russell Crowe則跟他今年的另一作品《3:10 to Yuma》(觀後感)裡的不相伯仲。戲份雖要各分一半, 但Steven Zaillian(Schidler's List / Hannibal / Gangs of New York) 的劇本非常細緻地交待二人公私之間遇上的問題困難, 整體來說二人也是演得好好。

導演Ridley Scott一洗《A Good Year》的選材不當, 重拾自己強項, 拍得相當劇力萬鈞, 沒有絲毫沉悶。但自己還是較喜歡《Gladiator》及《Black Hawk Down》。

故事所說的除了黑白兩道的故事外, 亦有一支線是說當時紐約警隊貪污嚴重, 黑道中人固是要買通警察才能作大買賣, 白道中人潔身自愛卻同樣惹來大麻煩......故事說到最後的一個小小Twist發展亦能把這支線想表達的更明確表現出來。

既然得到演員公會提名全體演員獎, 出色的當然不只兩位演技巨星。飾演貪污警隊頭目的Josh Brolin有型非常, 在今年公映的《Planet Terror》/《Death Proof》飾演變態醫生丈夫殭屍, 亦有份於另外兩部Oscar Hopeful《No Country for Old Men》及《In the Valley of Elah》演出, 從影廿年忽然觸目。

另外一位是飾演Denzel Washington角色老媽的美國老牌演員Ruby Dee(據Shagri La所提供的資料, 她在美國是一位非常出名的演員, 可以看此post的留言)。戲份不算多, 但其中首度看見兒子送大屋時的喜悅, 及另一場勸導兒子臨危立馬回頭是岸, 這兩場面也是充份讓Ruby Dee使出Powerful演技, 亦已獲演員公會女配角提名。

《American Gangster》總評分
導演:26/30
劇本:14/20
演員:16/20
美術:8/10
技術:8/10
音樂:8/10

總分:80

第14屆SAG演員公會提名: "Hairspray"都有份!

第14屆SAG演員公會提名公佈了, 在金球獎獲多項演員提名的《Atonement》(James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, Saoirse Ronan)、 《Sweeney Todd》(Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter)、《Charlie Wilson's War》(Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman)同告全軍覆滅......在演員公會竟然得到這樣的"對待", 於演員佔總投票會員1/4的Oscar, 我想也作為有限, 起碼4個演員獎項的提名已有點危危乎.........

在Critic's Choice獲7項提名卻失落金球獎的《Into the Wild》則是SAG的pre-大贏家, 合共有4項提名......Critic's Choice + SAG, Sean Penn這部執導新作如無意外應會在奧斯卡大放異彩.....

在一眾前哨戰拋離一眾對手暫時走勢領先的男女主配4位演員Daniel Day-Lewis, Julie Christie, Javier Bardem及Amy Ryan當然逃不了入圍的"宿命"..........

Cate the Great繼金球獎又獲主角配角double nominations......這個強勢能否延續呢?

在《American Gangster》(觀後感後補)飾演Denzel Washington老媽的老牌黑人女星Ruby Dee也有份, 戲份不多但其中兩場超級powerful的場面卻是很精彩。Go Go Ruby!!!

Ryan Gosling真的走紅了, 去年有《Half Nelson》, 今年有《Lars and the Real Girl》!

自己另一心頭愛的Amy Adams卻是榜上無名...... 期望有奇蹟的出現.......

但自己心愛的《Hairspray》卻一如所料有Best Ensemble的提名......如果PGA監製公會也有提名的話......um.......只是發發白日夢也是甜美的... :D
