Boyhood

少年时代

上映日期:2014年7月11日

Storyline 剧情:

This drama movie Boyhood tells a story of a divorced couple trying to raise their young son, Mason. The story follows the boy for 12 years, from first grade at age 6 through 12th grade at age 18, and examines his relationship with his parents as he grows ...

《少年时代》这部剧情片讲述了一对离异夫妇努力抚养年幼的儿子梅森长大的故事。故事追述了这个男孩从六岁一年级到18岁12年级期间共历时12年的成长历程,探究了他在成长过程中与父母之间的关系……

媒体评论:

Boyhood is Linklater's third masterpiece in the past decade, and it should only affect anyone who's ever been someone else's sibling (兄弟姐妹), child, parent, lover, or friend.

And there's a sadness in that you just don't want Boyhood to end, with the film a remarkable accomplishment that won't be forgotten anytime soon.

推荐理由:

没有哪部电影里讲述的成长能有如此真实。历时12年的拍摄令我们能够有幸目睹一个男孩在我们面前一点一滴地蜕变,从一个六岁的顽皮稚童,经历了青春期的叛逆,最后成长为18岁的稳重少年。12年的时间在三小时的电影里呈现,时光化作胡须扎入少年的嘴边,变成皱纹爬上父母的眼角,有些许残忍,却无比真实。站在青春时光里的我们,对父母从眷恋到厌烦及至理解,对异性从无视到恋慕及至放手,所有的任性、倔强、偏执、迷茫和渴望恍如交错纷杂的思绪,剪不断,理还乱,让人无法看清。而在这部影片里,每个人都能从这位名叫梅森的少年身上看到自己曾经的、现在的或未来的影子,从真实的生活里近距离地看光阴改变容颜,留下或深刻或飘渺的印记。

When Aidan's father can no longer afford to pay for private school for his two kids (5 and 12), and the only available public school is on its last legs3), Aidan reluctantly agrees to attempt to home-school them. The result is some funny chaos until Aidan decides to give up the traditional academic curriculum and come up with his own. Through teaching them about life his way, Aidan gradually discovers some of the parts of himself he couldn't find.

该片讲述的是关于艾丹·布卢姆的故事,他是一位日子不好过的演员,已经35岁了,已为人夫、为人父,却依然在试着寻找自己的身份认同,仍然在寻找他生活的目标。艾丹和妻子在经济上勉强能维持生计,他成日幻想自己是小时候一直梦想成为的那个伟大的未来宇宙骑士。

当艾丹的父亲再也无法负担艾丹的两个孩子(一个5岁,一个12岁)上私立学校的费用,而当地唯一一所能上的公立学校又面临关闭时,艾丹不情愿地同意了尝试自己在家教育孩子们。结果引发了一些滑稽的混乱,直到艾丹决定放弃传统的学术课程而制订出自己的教学课程。通过用自己的方式教孩子们认知生活,艾丹慢慢地发现了他以前无法找到的那部分自我。

推荐理由:

精彩台词:

The Giver: I cannot prepare you for what's about to happen.

推荐理由:

作为经典科幻小说之一,洛伊丝·劳里的《记忆传授人》可谓魅力无限,不仅由执导《哈利·波特》多部系列影片的导演大卫·叶茨(David Yates)搬上了银幕,还引来老戏骨梅丽尔·斯特里普(Meryl Streep)和音乐才女泰勒·斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)等大牌明星的加盟,着实吸引我们的眼球。相信很多人在期待的同时也对影片情节充满了疑问:当影片主人公乔纳斯生活的完美国度与现实世界相碰撞时,会擦出什么样的火花?面对两难抉择,他会何去何从?影片是会如小说一般没有明确的结局,还是会画上一个完美的句号?期待这部影片能给众书迷一个满意的答案。endprint
