Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
公路疗愈片,很完美,该抒情的地方,不泛滥,节奏真好,让我想起《长路简史》,我的确觉得那个更打动我。
联想到阿克曼的《安娜的旅程》。区别在于阿克曼风格化的镜头语言下是非常现实主义的片子,而赵婷现实主义外表下的镜头和情节是非常浪漫主义,甚至带有乌托邦色彩的。It’s not a bad thing. I like this film and hope I can practice this kind of life myself one day.
除了没有一个死去的丈夫跟尚且睡在屋檐之下,我竟也想不太出自己跟里面的人有什么不一样…
老无所依又没钱,那就去周游世界吧,所有的失去,世界都会还给你!
夏天匆匆离去毫不停顿
整体挺chill out,通俗版Terrence Malick能成新一代的鸡汤配方倒是没想到。
配乐很加分,她举着烟花对着空无一人的房车基地说“Happy NewYear”的时候眼泪就流下来,自她的爱人去世以后,她的故乡只有流浪和自由。其中最喜欢的一段“我75岁了,在划皮划艇的时候见过许多美好的事物,在艾达荷河边,我见过一家子麋鹿,在科罗拉多的湖上,白色的鹈鹕落在我眼前,雏燕刚出壳,小小的蛋壳从悬崖落向水面,白白的在水面上浮着,那一切简直太美妙了,哪怕我即刻死去也值得”
EP.6-10 《浅草篇》
同时又得多柔软的心 就因一个人做到这份坚强
也不会像你想象的那么坏
拍得太好了 不过想加一句 Empire NV其实离现代文明真的很近 开车一小时到Reno 而且每年火人节就在旁边 知道了之后略微影响观影体验 矫情化了“孤独”
回忆在,人就在。
初一看,以为是个半纪录片,或者是个关于孤独的故事,慢慢看下去,发现,那一份对一个人的思念和放不下,着实让人感动
麦姨已经出神入化了,这里根本分不出哪个是演员,哪个是真的游牧一族。最后黑幕起,“献给不得不上路的人,我们路上再见”,全剧的克制都在这两句话释放,戳中泪点。哪有那么多的浪漫,很多时候上路都是不得已的。不管是生活所迫还是为了疗愈内心,终究还是要活下去啊。
能否把你比作夏日璀璨
配乐太妙了……
与《骑士》一样赵婷这次把镜头再次对准了边缘人群,绝妙的摄影与音乐搭配上主演精湛的演技,讲述了一个孤独的流浪者的精神之旅,是表演、音乐、摄影的盛宴。我们能感受到主角在精神上的患得患失,在流浪途中的精神变化,利用音乐表达情绪。但赵婷还是与之前一样用了一种极度浪漫化的方式粉饰穷人流浪漂泊这一脑残行为,颇有些迎合都市中产阶级趣味的味道在里面。与此同时还不时讲一些听上去很有道理的心灵鸡汤,这也是一种迎合。这部电影把镜头对准了社会底层,没有什么批判,反而大加粉饰,“他们虽然没有家,但是互帮互助,乐在其中,至少他们有自由”,我认为这是在吃社会底层的人血馒头。
“寄蜉蝣于天地,渺沧海之一粟。哀吾生之须臾,羡长江之无穷。挟飞仙以遨游,抱明月而长终。知不可乎骤得,托遗响于悲风。”
可以迅速让人平静下来的影片,或许也是平静时候才适合观看的影片。关于人的选择,人的矛盾,人的执着。原来在路上的人最恋家,最坚强的人最寂寞。几次想要落泪又忍了回去,觉得这样才配和她一样拥有孤独。(唯一的缺点也是最致命的一点就是太工整太学院了)
自由 国人不会那么感同身受的, 许知远的十三邀里说, 他们那个年代让父母参与自己的婚姻相亲什么的, 那得都丢人 。 不是强调孰优孰劣, 而是不同从一开始就存在了。
