再談【讀愛】


(以下內容涉及電影【讀愛】的劇情,敬請留意。)


每次看完小說再看電影,總會出亂子,【讀愛】亦不例外。


今次出問題的地方,在漢娜與米高最後的一次會面。首先,原著寫他倆在監獄草坪見面,當時漢娜正坐在樹下看書;但電影竟把會面地點移至室內飯堂。跟原著一比,高下立見。電影為何要作出此一改動?實在令栗費解。


另外,米高對漢娜的指責,我覺得是過火了。誠然,米高對漢娜的過去感到羞恥,但在原著中,他問漢娜那些問題時,同時還感到迷惘和沮喪,可這些情緒在電影中通通不翼而飛,給我留下的印象,就是一位律師在質問犯人!敗筆呀~~~


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


寫完不滿,再說說感受──沒想過這個故事可以拍得這般如詩似畫!男女主角第一次相遇,還有他倆的單車之旅,實在美得眩目,令栗懷念起那短短的德國之旅來。



關於那些玉帛相見的場面,撫心自問,算是恰到好處 (比【敵對邊緣】和【赤壁】的纏綿戲高明多了)──若男主角之前不是如此沉迷色慾,又怎能凸顯他後來的冷漠與疏離?


至於漢娜為秘密所付出的代價,很多人都會覺得費解,但只要想到尊嚴無價,大家應該感到釋然吧?況且,若她不是誓死守護那個秘密,她後來的書信,又怎會感動到男主角和觀眾?


可惜電影被列為三級,令很多人因而卻步,錯過了一齣上佳之作。

  1. 值得看嗎 ?
    kate winsalet 因此戲得獎, 她演得好嗎 ?
    [版主回覆03/25/2009 12:37:00]雲兒:她演得很細膩,非常好。
    除了她,兩位男主角也不錯。加上美景和動聽的配樂,有理由不去看嗎?

  2. 近年比較少有的題材作品...........會唔會有過多的情慾場面呀???定係點到即止呀??
    [版主回覆03/25/2009 15:45:00]相比起【赤壁】,我覺得這齣的情慾場面絕不堆砌呢!至於多唔多,那就見人見至......
    少男有正面全裸的鏡頭,只閃一閃,算是點到即止吧?

  3. 可能電影的演藝比書上寫的要複雜一些, 看書時可以依著寫出的場景去想像, 而電影就必須直觀地表達出來, 所以有時電影會脫離書本
    [版主回覆03/25/2009 15:46:00]無蹟:導演和編劇想改不要緊,但我想不通的是,他們為甚麼非要把最精細的部分改掉了呢?上次【一奏傾情】也是

  4. 其實佢得唔得獎,睇上嚟呢部都係一部幾值得去睇的電影嚟的 !!
    [版主回覆03/25/2009 21:08:00]Nicole說得對,不過沒有肥溫,我未必會想深入了解這齣呢

  5. 睇左喇?
    無理由拎呢部戲同赤壁比掛.

     
    [版主回覆03/25/2009 21:09:00]香花與毒草:純粹將兩齣的牀戲作比較,赤壁的牀戲太夾硬啦~~~

  6. I haven't read the book, but from the movie, I could tell that they removed many essential original thoughts from the book.  From what I know about the US, and the power and influence of the Jewish intellectuals, I know the producers had to remove anything which remotely gave Hanna, and all her fellow guards, any kind of humanity.  Anything which might portray any of them as human beings would have been condemned as Nazi-sympathizing and there'll be widespread boycott of the movie.  I really want to read the book to get the real story now that I've seen the movie.
    [版主回覆03/26/2009 21:15:00]Dear Teach: Let me lend you my copy. It's a good story.
    You've answered one of my queries, Teach. In the book, Hanna is a person who respects knowledge, but this trait was obscured in the movie ...
    About Michael, I don't know why people would consider him as a villain instead of a victim! He was hurt by the relationship! And people say he's a 賤男. Can you believe this?

  7. Oh, and if Michael was any less cold to her at the end, he would've been considered a real villain.  As it is now, they showed that he's not capable of holding any relationship anyway.  The opening scenes show him having a one-night stand and then never mentioned any steady relationship afterwards.

  8. 很喜歡的一套電影,感情描寫細緻,演員亦都出色。
    [版主回覆03/26/2009 21:17:00]南爾:書的描寫更細緻動人,我真是不能認同那些刪略和改動...

  10. 一定要搵時間睇睇
    [版主回覆03/26/2009 21:17:00]閒兄:睇咗電影節嗰啲先啦 ,這齣可以等碟嘛

  11. YES! Perhaps novels allow readers to imagine the images and feelings, so it is not uncommon for readers to be slightly disappointed by the movie adaptation. 律師在質問犯人 - GOOD description! But at the same time, I also feel his love for her, without which he won't see her, so I use the word 愛恨交纏.
    [版主回覆03/27/2009 07:29:00]Kenji: 其實我覺得去到最後,Michael只餘下內疚和責任,愛已蕩然無存 (只餘下回憶中的愛?)。如果他還愛Hanna,為甚麼片言隻語也不寫給她?當他收到Hanna 的第一封信時,就應該寫信鼓勵她,而不是只寄那些錄音帶。
    另外,故事應該有一段寫 Hanna 在 Michael 父親的書房,讓 Michael 朗讀父親的著作 (我見過劇照)。這段在電影中刪了吧?
    之前跟 Kenji 提過,Hanna 還有另一個 job offer,我應該修正為:當時她在西門子工作,獲得晉升機會,不過 Hanna 可能因為怕自己的秘密讓人發現,所以轉投納粹做守衛。
    我覺得電影就如 Kenji 所言,拍得很美,男女主角也交足戲。可恨我心急先看了小說,所以才會有點敗興......

  12. 1. 片言隻語也不寫給她?I guess because he despises what she has done in concentration camps. Besides, I think 寄那些錄音帶 shows his love for her and at the same time, he does not need to directly communicate with this woman who has done shameless things and has left him without a word. After all, her influence on his growth has become an indispensable part in his memories.
    2. 在電影中刪了吧?I guess so... I also saw that movie still.
    3. I think 納粹做守衛 should happen before 在西門子工作. When she met the boy, the war had been over. Thanks very much for your insightful sharing and the comparison between the novel and the movie!
    [版主回覆03/29/2009 09:37:00]Kenji 過譽了!影畫絮語的評論更精闢
    那些錄音帶,在我看來更像補償呢!就是當年他沒為Hanna辯護的補償。
    刪了那段真可惜,劇照看起來好美
    噫,莫非是我看錯了?因為書中說到是同時期的事呢~~~
    又:Kenji今個電影節選了甚麼電影呢?我找不到那段,能否給我留個連結?先謝過!
