简介
THE READER opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna, a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Hanna is enthralled as Michael reads to her from "The Odyssey," "Huck Finn" and "The Lady with the Little Dog." Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken. Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life - this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hanna's past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will impact both of their lives. THE READER is a story about truth and reconciliation, about how one generation comes to terms with the crimes of another. Written by The Weinstein Company
Middle aged German barrister Michael Berg recollects to himself his lifelong acquaintance with Hanna Schmitz, a relationship with whom he never disclosed to anyone close to him. Michael first met Hanna in 1958, when he was fifteen, she thirty-one. The two had a turbulent summer long love affair, dictated by Hanna that their encounters would begin with him reading to her followed by lovemaking. Michael next encountered Hanna in 1966, when Michael, now a law student, attended the Nazi war crimes trial of five female former S.S. concentration camp guards, one of whom is Hanna. Through listening to the testimony, Michael comes to the realization that he is in possession of information which could save Hanna from a life in prison, information which she herself is unwilling to disclose. In deciding what to do, Michael is torn between his differing views of justice.

Michael Berg (David Kross), a fifteen year old young man living in Berlin in 1958, gets off the tram, cks into a doorway and vomits. An woman in her mid thirties (Kate Winslet) sees him and, after cleaning up after him, helps him get home. The doctor diagnoses him with scarlet fever and orders three months bedrest. All Michael can do is examine his stamps and bide his time.
When he is better, he returns to the apartment building to deliver a bouquet of flowers in thanks to the woman. She is matter of fact with him but asks him to escort her to work on the tramline. But when she catches him spying on her as she dresses, he runs away in shame. When he returns to apologize a few days later, she seces him. He persuades her to tell him her name -- Hanna. Michael returns to her every day after school, rejecting the clear interest of girls his own age. She asks him to read to her, and he brings her great works of world literature. He sells his stamps so they can go on a bicycle tour in the countryside. When Hanna is promoted by the tram company, she becomes unsettled and snaps at Michael when he tries to read her Chekhov's "The Lady with the Dog." They make love one last time and she then moves away without telling him where she is going. Michael is heartbroken.
Eight years later (1966), Michael attends Heidelberg Law School. He is part of a seminar on the Holocaust, taught by Rohl (Bruno Ganz). The class attends the joint trial of six former guards at Auschwitz. Michael is shocked to learn that Hanna is one of the defendants. He is appalled to learn that Hanna was responsible for selecting Jewish women to be sent to death camps and was part of the forced march of hundreds of Jews from one camp to another; when the building in which the Jewish women were being housed overnight was set afire, Hanna and the other guards let them burn to death because to free them would have risked too much chaos. Hanna does not deny what she did and even rationalizes it. During testimony, it is revealed that Hanna had had camp prisoners read to her at night. The other guards claim that Hanna was the instigator of all the crimes and, rather than submit to a handwriting sample to disprove their claims, agrees with them. In the audience, Michael realizes that Hanna wanted others to read to her because she is illiterate. Urged on by Rohl but disturbed by a classmate who believes former Nazis should be killed, Michael tries to visit Hanna in prison to encourage her to tell the truth but, ashamed of his past with her, decides not to. Hanna is sentenced to life in prison.
As an alt, Michael (Ralph Fiennes) marries and has a daughter but remains emotionally withdrawn. His marriage ends and he becomes distant from his daughter. Discovering the books he had read to Hanna decades earlier, he re-establishes contact with her by reading the books into a tape recorder and sending them to her in prison. Using them as a guide, Hanna teaches herself to read and write. She sends him letters in return but he never responds. When it is time for her parole in 1990, Michael is the only person the prison social worker can contact. He reluctantly agrees to sponsor Hanna. He finds an apartment and job for her but, when he visits her a week before she is to be released, he is aloof to her. She tells him that before the trial, she never thought about what she did as an SS guard but thinks about nothing else now. After he leaves, she commits suicide. In her will, she asks Michael to give her life's savings to the family of one of the prisoners at Auschwitz. Michael visits the woman's daughter (Lena Olin) in New York and confesses his affair with Hanna for the first time. She refuses to forgive or accept the money but instead takes the tea tin Hanna had kept the money in, as it reminds her of a tin she had before she was sent to Auschwitz as a child. They agree to give the money to a Jewish literacy organization.
In 1995, Michael reunites with his daughter, Julia (Hannah Herzsprung), who has just returned from a year in Paris. He admits his failings as a father and drives her to a church that he and Hanna had visited ring their bicycle tour nearly forty years earlier. He shows her Hanna's grave and begins to tell her his and Hanna's story.
------
''The Reader'' begins in 1995 Berlin, where a well-dressed Michael Berg is preparing breakfast for a woman who has one-night stand|spent the night at his apartment. The two part awkwardly, and as Michael watches an Berlin S-Bahn pass by outside afterwards the film flashes back to another tram in 1958 Neustadt. An unhappy-looking teenaged Michael gets off but wanders around the streets afterwards, finally pausing in the entryway of a nearby apartment building where he starts to vomiting|vomit. Hanna Schmitz, the tram Conctor, comes in and assists him in returning home. Michael is diagnosed with scarlet fever and must rest at home for the next three months. After he recovers he visits Hanna at her apartment and thanks her. The two begin an affair that lasts through that summer. Their liaisons, at her apartment, are characterized by him reading literary works he is studying in school to her, such as ''The Odyssey'', "The Lady with the Dog" and ''The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn''. After the two go on a bicycling trip and Hanna is promoted to the offices at the tram company, she abruptly moves without letting Michael know where she has gone.
After another brief return to the alt Michael, who drives to a court where he is a lawyer, we see him again at Heidelberg University in 1966. As part of a special seminar taught by Professor Rohl, a camp survivor, he observes a trial of several women who were accused of letting 300 Jewish women die in a burning church when they were SS guards on the Death marches following the 1944 evacuation of Auschwitz concentration camp. Michael is stunned to see that Hanna is one of the defendants.
He visits a former camp himself to try to come to terms with this. The trial divides the seminar, with one student angrily saying there is nothing to be learned from it other than that evil acts occurred. He tells Rohl that the older generation of Germans should kill themselves for their failure to act then and now.
The key evidence is the testimony of Ilana Mather, a young Jewish woman who has written a memoir about how she and her mother survived. When Hanna testifies, unlike her fellow defendants, she admits that she was aware Auschwitz was an extermination camp and that the ten women she chose ring each month's were subsequently gassed. She denies authorship of a report on the barn fire, despite pressure from the other defendants, but then admits it when asked to provide a handwriting sample.
Michael then realizes Hanna's secret: she is illiterate and has made many of her life choices to conceal that. Even her choice to join the SS was made because of her desire to avoid a job promotion meaning she would have had to reveal her illiteracy. Without being specific, Michael informs Rohl that he has information favorable to one of the defendants but is not sure what to do since the defendant herself wants to avoid disclosing this. Rohl tells him that if he has learned nothing from the past there is no point in having the seminar.
Hanna receives a ife sentence for her role in the church deaths while the other defendants get terms of a few years. Michael meanwhile marries, has a daughter and divorces. Rediscovering his books and notes from the time of his affair with Hanna, he begins reading some of those works into a tape recorder. He sends the cassettes and another tape recorder to her in prison. Eventually she uses these to teach herself to read the books themselves from the prison library, and writes back to him.
Michael does not write back or visit, but keeps sending tapes, and in 1988 the prison's warden writes to him to seek his help in arranging for her after her forthcoming release. He finds a place for her to live and a job, and sees her in person to tell her these things. The night before her sentence ends she hangs herself and leaves a note to Michael and a tea tin with cash in it.
Later, Michael travels to New York. He meets Ilana and confesses his past relationship with Hanna to her. He tells her that Hanna was illiterate for most of her life but that her suicide note told him to give both the cash, some money she had in a bank account and the tea tin to Ilana. After telling Michael there is nothing to be learned from the camps and that he should go to the theater if he is seeking catharsis. Michael suggests that he donate the money to a organization that combats alt illiteracy, preferably a Jewish one, and she agrees. Ilana keeps the tea tin since it is similar to one she herself had owned before being sent to the camps, where it was taken from her to be melted down.
The film ends with Michael getting back together with his daughter, Julia, whom he admits he has grown apart from. He takes her to Hanna's grave and begins to tell her the story.

❷ 《朗读者》电影剧情解析是什么
《朗读者》改编自德国同名畅销小说,故事讲述的是一段不可磨灭的忘年恋,一个15岁少年爱上了一个36岁的电车女售票员。这是一个少年心里自然发生的事,影片并没有刻意渲染其中的畸形成分,而注重表现出它像任何真实爱情一样诚挚动人的一面。男女主人公在一起的时候,常常就是男孩为女人朗读,读希腊神话《奥德赛》,也读《阴谋与爱情》。
片子拍得很忠实于原着,在表现手法上倒没有对原书亦步亦趋地效仿,那种跳脱的叙述方式很好地保持了书中疏离和冷静的基调,没有刻意用顺叙让观众的情绪一点点累积起来然后爆发。对于没看过书的人来说所谓的事实真相可能还是有点戏剧性的,有点悬疑的感觉。
《朗读者》带来的思考:
人性的愚笨,人性的执着,人性的荒谬,冲突却又是那样的自然,值得同情,甚至是值得尊敬的。道德是沉淀性的历史从众审美。由此才有主流和非主流,才有羞耻感和那些所谓的秘密。汉娜热衷于倾听朗读,因为不认识的文字,她对文化的理解,对小说的知晓,都是来自男主的为他录的磁带。
她对文化世界中的美好事物,其实有向往越强烈,那种尊严真的有点不可理喻,为了保持秘密,她宁愿终生监禁。一个美丽而哀伤的爱情故事,一个纳粹罪与罚的故事,一个背负德国年轻一代与老一辈心结和情感挣扎的严肃故事。
从艺术的角度看,最后的审判是个高潮,相当震撼,因为揭露了人性,因为个人在社会意志面前的无力,对错的相对。想到了“纽伦堡审判”时法官的困惑,最后一个天才法官提出了“法外之法”才解决了纳粹的“诡辩”。女主对于身为文盲的羞愧以致于宁可放弃自由也不愿被人知道使我感到莫名。
当人到中年的男主在家中日以继夜地用磁带录下当年为汉娜朗读过的书籍,当汉娜借来人生的第一本书,一个字一个字地标记,并亲笔给米夏写信,已经超越一般的爱情,那种获得的震撼无以言表。
凯特·温斯莱特演活了外表刻薄固执,内心极度复杂的女人。他的朗读给她太多希望,也给她罪恶感,最终隔阂让希望成为绝望,风烛残年的汉娜悬梁自尽的身影。对缺憾的依恋,当生无可恋的时候,她值得依赖的世界崩塌了。她不再属于这个世界。米娜选择结束生命,多年的米夏留下沉默的泪,背负了一生的感情债。
理性与尊严的抗争,理性永远敌不过真实的生活,最后的结尾看着有点压抑。鲁迅说,悲剧是将人生有价值的东西毁灭给人看。相比电影而言《朗读者》文字更显深邃小说里那爱情只是少部分,总体而言这是于理解与谴责,反思与迷惘。

2、生死朗读观后感
宽恕不可宽恕的 ——德里达
(1) 汉娜·施密芝在获得自由的前一天在监狱里自杀了。麦克·伯格忍着巨大的悲痛和内疚走进了她的狱室,书架上整齐地放着他寄给她的录音磁带,还有一些她学会读写后借来阅读的书籍。
在这些施密芝阅读过的书籍中,有一本就是着名政治哲学家汉娜·阿伦特(Hannah Arendt)的《耶路撒冷的艾希曼——关于平庸的恶的报告》。
艾希曼是第三帝国保安总部第四局B-4课的课长,曾通过自己在铁路运输方面的专长把百万犹太人送进了集中营。战争快结束时,火车车皮不够用,艾希曼便让被捕者自己步行走向死亡营地。
阿伦特(犹太人)作为《纽约客》的特约记者在耶路撒冷旁听了对艾希曼的审判。让阿伦特震惊的是,这个“杀人魔王”看上去和普通人没有什么区别,表现得毕恭毕敬,甚至像一位绅士。
在艾希曼身上,阿伦特看到了:“恐怖的、难以表述的、难以想象的恶之平庸(the banality of evil)。”
艾希曼确实是一个尽忠职守、严谨勤奋的官员,每天埋头于时刻表、报表、车皮和人头的统计数字,极具工作效率。第三帝国的“国家理性”完全支配了、也合法化了艾希曼这样的“平庸”官僚的行为。他反复强调,自己只是庞大系统中的一个小齿轮。
阿伦特认为,使得纳粹的罪行得以实现的绝大部分人都具有这种“平庸”特征,他们轻易地放弃了个人判断的权利。在罪恶的极权统治下,人的不思想所造成的灾难可以远胜于人作恶本能的危害的总和。这就是应当从耶路撒冷得到的教训。
(2)汉娜确实是“平庸”的,因为她是一个文盲,还用谎言极力掩饰这一点。换句话说,汉娜由于无法读写(搏老文盲)因而不能从文化及其社会秩序中获得正常尊严,进而把掩盖这种失败作为其一生拼死维护的尊严本身。
汉娜热衷于倾听朗读,她对文化世界中的美好事物的向做雹往越强烈,她对自己文盲身份的厌恶和恐惧也就越强烈,这是同一种感情的两面。这让她近乎疯狂地走上了一条维护、追求尊严的道路,为此不惜撒谎,抛弃工作和爱她的人。
这种创伤性的尊严贯穿了汉娜的一生,构成了使她是她的精神核心。这种基本特征已经从根本上决定了她首先是一个值得同情的形象。
和艾希曼作为有文化的“专家”却放弃个人思考判断和尊严相比,汉娜所追求的正好是艾希曼轻易放弃的这一切,虽然这种追求的起点很低而且困难重重。其中最大的困难就是那个时代在德国普遍弥漫的那种麻木,汉娜显然无法超越这一点。
这种麻木既弥漫在集中营的施害者身上,也弥漫在受害者身上;弥漫在法庭上的审判者身上,也弥漫在被告身上;弥漫在每一个普通人的生活中。(小说比电影更清楚地展示了这一关键内容,电影中只出现了一个在法庭上织毛衣的被告形象)。
在集中营里,无论囚犯还是看守,他们要继续自己的生活,一天一天地活下去,就不得不把毒气室和焚尸炉——杀戮和死亡看做是日常生活的一部分,不得不把他们自己的作用看得很轻,不得不像被注射了麻醉药或喝醉了酒一样让麻木状态占据自己。
在这种共享的麻木之上,他们形成了一种使恶得以日常化的合作关系。在这种环境中,是非、善恶、生死等基本伦理问题都消失了,只剩下各种本职工作的日常计较。
汉娜的不幸之处在于,在她那条偏执然而值得尊重的道路上,在她成为有文化和尊严的人之前,在她能思考人类的尊严之前,她已经不得不面对了关于人类尊严的大是大非的残酷考验——她没有能解救教堂里的那些犹太人,这是残酷的、有罪的,但这符合她当时的思考和行动能力,符合那个环境轻易强加给一个文盲的一切。
(3) 审判对汉娜是足够正义的吗?
“纳粹”“兇手”“集中营的女看守”的这样标签对汉娜这样一个卑微的文盲来说是实在是太大、太沉重了,汉娜或许从未能准确地理解这些字眼的含义。然而,这些标签已经足以让多数人在理解她之前已经对她下了判决。
在法庭上,汉娜实话实说,她显然对游戏规则毫无概念,对自己的和别人的表达方式也没有概念,更不会知道有罪或无罪、判刑或释放在一个平庸的法庭上往往取决于这些表面的东西。
在整个审判过程中,各种身份的人之间充满推托、谎言、策略、计算,唯独缺乏对人性的深思、对正义的虔诚。汉娜最终因为要坚持隐瞒文盲的身份而被定为罪首,处以重判。一个偶然的因素就皆大欢喜地了结了这场审判。
审判始终没有触及汉娜身上真正重要的内容(汉娜的拒绝只是一方面的原因)。麦克在研讨课上说出的“理解”这个词是微弱的。很多人都会义正词严地反问,我们真的需要理解一个“纳粹集中营的冷酷女看守”吗?
汉娜的确有罪,但这并不意味着审判者就可以简单地根据抽象的罪名、简单地运用法律惩罚她。如果审判不是基于对“这一个”被告的全部特殊性的真实理解,而是基于博弈(各种计算之间的平衡),这种审判不可能是正义的。
法国哲学家、犹太人德里达(Derrida)在思考法(Law)和正义(Justice)时指出:“若一位法官想作出正义的判决,他(或她)便不能自满于只是引用法律。他(或她)每次都必须重新发明法律。”也就是说,“在一独特的情况中重新发明一种正义的关系,这意味着正义不能被降格为约束、处罚或奖赏的计算。正确的或合法的事,很可能是不正义的。”
对汉娜的判决是“正确的或合法的”同时也是“不正义的”。
理解汉娜不是为了免除她的罪和罚,而是使法真正和她的特殊性发生切身的、正义的关系,否则审判就会沦为暴力,甚至只是胜利者对失败者的暴力。阿伦特就认为,为了能正义地审判纳粹的罪行,一般的国内法是无效的,我们必须创造出基于对人类尊严深思的新的法律。
汉娜这个形象从根本上召唤着正义,而不只是同情。
(4)
那么,麦克对汉娜是足够正义的吗?
麦克和汉娜的关系准确地表现了:经历了二战、在纳粹的罪行面前或合作或沉默或麻木的老一代德国人和年轻一代之间的爱恨交织的复杂关系。
“当我努力去理解时,我就会有一种感觉,即我觉得本来属于该谴责的罪行变得不再那么该谴责了。当我像该谴责的那样去谴责时,就没有理解的余地了。两者我都想要:理解和谴责。但是,两者都行不通。”小说这样表达这种复杂的感情。
其中最关键的是麦克的两次沉默:第一次,麦克知道了汉娜是文盲,却没有告知法庭这一事实,而选择了沉默;第二次,汉娜在监狱里学会了读写,并给麦克写来了字体蹩脚但饱含希望的书信,但麦克却选择了沉默,没有给出汉娜最需要的回应。
在第一次沉默中,最坏的可能原因是,麦克内心不希望汉娜因为自己的介入而得以减罪,并回到他的日常生活中;最好的可能是,麦克觉得揭穿她的文盲身份等于毁了她,沉默是尊重她的决定;或两者兼有或更复杂。而在第二次沉默中,麦克需要计较的现实因素就更多了。
在麦克的沉默中,我们甚至能看到前面描述的那种麻木。这种麻木是让日常生活继续下去所要付出的代价。“这样才有可能让我重新回到我的日常生活中去,并在这种生活中继续生活下去。”
麦克唯一做的是,给汉娜不断地寄自己的朗读录音。这是麦克在重重矛盾中所能找到的唯一合适的接触汉娜的位置。此时,朗读从原来的肉体之间的、面对面的,变成了抽象的语音。朗读延续了,但爱已经消失。汉娜终于通过磁带学会了读写,但最终没有获得真正的理解(正义)和宽恕。
汉娜没有拯救犹太人,麦克也没有拯救汉娜。在罪面前,在生活的各种牵绊中,麦克没有勇气再去面对自己曾经的爱,更没有勇气把他的爱变成真正的宽恕。
德里达说,宽恕“不可能宽恕的”才是宽恕。他的意思是,真正的宽恕,它的每一次具体实践(实现)都会打破原来关于什么是能宽恕什么是不能宽恕的经验和界限(解构宽恕原来的可能性),就像正义的每一次具体实现都会要求法的重新运用甚至发明(解构法之运用的原本可能性),就像真正的爱是爱那些超越你并更新你的事物(解构自我的同一性),否则就只是变相的爱自己(自恋)而已。
无论是宽恕,还是爱与正义,都需要一个超越性的维度,否则就会被日常生活的平庸所吞没,或者被罪所压垮,或者被计算所腐蚀。
影片的结尾处,麦克把他原本疏远的女儿带到了汉娜的墓地前。的确,他有责任把汉娜的故事向下一代(未来)重新讲述一遍,而这个重新讲述的故事应该不只是关于罪与罚,更是关于爱、正义和宽恕。3、获奖记录

1、电影简介
原片名 La Leggenda del pianista sull ' oceano(意大利文)。
意大利导演托纳托雷的三部作品——《天堂电影院》(又译星光伴我心),《海上钢琴师》(又译声光伴我飞),《西西里的美丽传说》(又译真爱伴我行),我们可以将它们定义为“时空三部曲”或者是“寻找三部曲”。导演运用了一种相同的叙事结构——“回到”,让我们不断穿梭于“现在”与“过去”之间。
剧情简介
一九零零年的第一天。邮轮维珍尼亚号载着熙熙攘攘的欢呼人群在纽约港靠岸。在梦想的鼓动下黑压压的人流涌下船,迎接充满可能性的美好未来。喧嚣过后,船上除了船员所剩无几。添煤工人Danny Boodman于是偷偷跑到餐厅搜罗客人遗落下的贵重物品,结果一无所获。失望之余,他在钢琴架上发现一个漂亮的婴儿。他抱起婴儿,看见他的目光清澈,皮肤白净。Danny Boodman对这意外收获十分惊喜,于是收留了这个孩子,起名叫Danny Boodman T.D.Lemon Nineteen Hundred(丹尼 博德曼 T.D.雷蒙1900),纪念这孩子在新世纪的第一天被他收养。
善良的Danny Boodman十分疼爱小1900,教他读书,不让他受苦。但因为没有任何出生证明之类的文件,Danny Boodman害怕1900会被别人抢走,不许他离开船舱一步。
在1900八岁时,Danny Boodman死了,在懵懂的1900于生离死别前迷茫时,突然听见远处传来美妙动人的声音,他回过头,身边一个亚洲女人告诉他,这是音乐。
几日后,1900在夜里偷偷溜进餐厅,来到白天专属乐手演奏娱乐上等乘客的钢琴前,弹起了自己即兴发挥的曲子。歌声吵醒了许多乘客,他们好奇的想去探个究竟,却都陶醉在这小家伙如天籁般的音乐中。直到音乐停下来,船长才过去对他说,“1900,这一切都违背常规。”年幼的1900任性的回答说:“该死的常规。” (Fuck the regulations)
几年后,成人的1900成了维珍尼亚号乐队的钢琴师,虽然他从未下过船,但是已经名声远扬。在一次暴风雨中,他巧遇了正在晕船的Max,两个人十分投缘。从此,Max成了他一生的知己。
Max十分欣赏他的音乐才华,但也同时对他固执的不肯下船登上陆地感到困惑。他希望1900能向世人展示自己的才华,得到世人的承认,名利双收,过上好的生活。但对1900而言,世人向往的生活对他而言太过遥远,无法理解,也因此根本不具备诱惑力。
即使弹琴胜过爵士乐的始祖Jelly Roll Morton,让1900名声大噪,唱片出版商希望为他录制唱片,并保证他会名利双收,他的内心依然平静,安于生活和音乐带给他的快乐。直到他遇到一个朴素而迷人的女孩。那一天他正在录制唱片,女孩顺着窗子向里看,和他四目相对,尽管女孩仅仅是在用窗户的反射照镜子,他却立刻爱上了她。随兴而发弹奏了一曲为爱情的柔情似水的曲子。(那个女子就是手风琴匠的女儿,老人走出了自己的天地,来到了美国。开立了一家鱼店。建立了属于自己新的世界。而1900却始终不能释怀。直到最后一刻。)唱片录制完成,出版商把唱片放给1900听,他没有把唱片给出版商,因为他不允许别人把音乐从他身边带走。他犹豫再三,想把唱片送给那位素不相识的女孩,却在女孩下船的时候没能如愿以偿,1900无法掩饰自己的哀伤,他失望地毁了唱片把碎片扔在垃圾桶里。(后由Max把唱片的碎片藏到了1900的钢琴中,这是1900唯一留下的音乐记录)
在女孩下船的几周后,1900十分的痛苦,他想去找她。Max的劝说和对爱情生活的憧憬打动了他,在某年的春天他最终决定下船,登上陌生的陆地。那天所有的船员都和他挥手告别,他穿着Max送给他的大衣,缓慢的走下船梯,但当他即将踏上土地时,他茫然的看着偌大的纽约市,凝视了一阵,他突然拿起礼帽抛向远方,然后回头,返回了船上。他对Max说,我再也不下船了。
直到许多年后,大战结束,早已离开维珍尼亚号的Max偶然发现破旧的维珍尼亚号就要被炸掉,他坚信1900在船上,可是1900并没有露面,直到船马上要被炸毁前,Max拿到当年的唱片独自在船上播放的时候,1900才在角落里现身。但是1900执意不肯下船,世界太广阔了,让他陌生得害怕,城市里的街道无边无际,就像有无数个键的没有尽头的钢琴一样让他感到恐惧,他宁可退出生命的舞台,给自己一个尽头。Max最终悲伤的离去,在远处目送维珍尼亚号和1900一同被炸弹粉碎。
那天他告诉那个他曾对之提起过1900的传奇故事的乐器行老板:1900死了,老板也感到惋惜,于是把Max因为窘迫卖掉的小号还给了他并对他说,一个好的故事比一个旧小号值钱。带着仅值旧小号的1900的故事,Max离开了,从此,很少再有人会记起那一生不会踏上陆地的天才钢琴师和他传奇的一生。
2、观后感
这是一部荡气回肠的诗意旅程电影,那无处不在的钢琴声将观众带入1900的心灵深处。影片采用最极端的浪漫主义风格,引起两极反应:有人视之为杰作,而西方很多人把它看成“最好看的烂片”。影片的缺憾在于人物刻画,主角太过神秘,让人无法洞察他的内心世界,因而就很难真正同情他。如果能把心态调离愤青阶段,该片则有打动人心的浪漫魔力。
整部片子随着Max回忆中的1900,与现实中Max追寻1900的下落这两条主轴,交互穿插,紧紧牵动着观众的心,而当Max从乐器行老板口中得知,Virginian号即将被拆解时,故事也达到了最高潮。
从战前离开Virginian号之后便未曾听说过1900消息的Max坚信,1900必定还在船上,他努力延阻了船只拆解的时间,来到这艘已残破不堪的废船上欲寻找1900最后的踪影。1900还会在船上吗?还是如Max的期望,已经找了个地方,娶了老婆、生了小孩,并在茶余饭后之际同她们提起Max这个好友……
除了曲折的情节,几个精彩的桥段更是令人吟咏不已,包括Max初识1900时,两人在海上狂风暴雨之际松开了钢琴的固定栓,坐在钢琴前随船摆动着,一边弹琴一边在大厅里四处滑动,像极了跳着华尔兹或探戈的舞者;而面对傲慢的Jelly来势汹汹的挑战,1900如何展现出他过人的钢琴天赋,让与会者由轻蔑转为震惊;以及那个不知名的女孩(曾与1900用手风琴合奏的老人的女儿。),如彗星般的散发出耀人光芒却又快速离去,使得1900淡淡的忧愁,回忆的感伤,在片里充斥的偏黄色系影像中,益发显得鲜明。至于移民怀着梦想乘船来到新大陆,在看到自由女神像之际惊叫“America!”的喜悦,却也与孤寂的1900看着旅客上上下下的冷漠相映……
1900这个角色,因为孤寂落寞的经历,使其更能敏锐的看透人心,并借此弹奏、创作出感动人心的乐曲。但一生面对海洋、面对钢琴,陆地上的一切,对他来说有着太多的不确定性,使他一直对陆地踯躇不前。正如他所说:“我看不到陆地的尽头”,或许对1900而言,海天一色的景致看得到地平线,往返多地的邮轮也有靠港停泊的时候,88个琴键是有限的,他可以据以创作无限的乐章,然而陆地上绵延不绝的大城市,是他所看不清也无法掌握的。

《肖申克的救赎》:
The Shawshank Redemption)改编自斯蒂芬·金《不同的季节》(Different Seasons)中收录的《丽塔海华丝及萧山克监狱的救赎》。影片《肖申克的救赎》在牢狱题材电影中突破了类型片的限制,拍出了同类作品罕见的人情味和温馨感觉,因而在公映时成为卖座鼎盛的黑马。
1、剧情介绍
故事发生在1947年,银行家安迪因为妻子有婚外情,酒醉后误被指控用枪杀死了她和她的情人,安迪被判无期徒刑,这意味着他将在肖申克监狱中渡过余生。
瑞德1927年因谋杀罪被判无期徒刑,数次假释都未获成功。他现在已经成为肖申克监狱中的“权威人物”,只要你付得起钱,他几乎有办法搞到任何你想要的东西:香烟,糖果,酒,甚至是大麻。每当有新囚犯来的时候,大家就赌谁会在第一个夜晚哭泣。瑞德认为弱不禁风、书生气十足的安迪一定会哭,结果安迪的沉默使他输掉了两包烟。但同时也使瑞德对他另眼相看。
好长时间以来,安迪不和任何人接触,在大家报怨的同时,他在院子里很悠闲地散步,就象在公园里一样。一个月后,安迪请瑞德帮他搞的第一件东西是一把石锤,他的解释是他想雕刻一些小东西以消磨时光,并说他自己想办法逃过狱方的例行检查。不久,瑞德就玩上了安迪刻的国际象棋。之后,安迪又搞了一幅丽塔.海华丝的巨幅海报贴在了牢房的墙上。
一次,安迪和另几个犯人外出劳动,他无意间听到监狱官在讲有关上税的事。安迪说他有办法可以使监狱官合法地免去这一大笔税金,做为交换,他为十几个犯人朋友每人争得了3瓶啤酒。喝着啤酒,瑞德说多年来,他又第一次感受到了自由的感觉。
由于安迪精通财务制度方面的的知识,很快使他摆脱了狱中繁重的体力劳动和其它变态囚犯的骚扰。不久,声名远扬的安迪开始为越来越多的狱警处理税务问题,甚至孩子的升学问题也来向他请教。同时安迪也逐步成为肖申克监狱长诺顿洗黑钱的重要工具。监狱生活非常平淡,总要自己找一些事情来做。由于安迪不停地写信给州议会,终于为监狱申请到了一小笔钱用于监狱图书馆的建设。同时,安迪为了展现音乐的魅力,让更多人了解,冒着被处罚播放了一段音乐,并送给瑞德一个口琴。
一个年轻犯人的到来打破了安迪平静的狱中生活:这个犯人以前在另一所监狱服刑时听到过安迪的案子,他知道谁是真兇!但当安迪向监狱长提出要求上报这一情况以争取重新审理此案时,却遭到了断然拒绝,并受到了单独禁闭一个月的严重惩罚。在禁闭中监狱长来探视安迪,得知安迪坚持找出真兇,获得新生时,监狱长发怒。为了防止安迪获释,监狱不惜设计害死了知情人,并且给安迪再次禁闭一个月的惩罚!
面对残酷的现实,安迪变得很消沉……有一天,他对瑞德说:“如果有一天,你可以获得假释,一定要到某个地方替我完成一个心愿。那是我向我妻子求婚的地方,把那里一棵大橡树下的一个盒子挖出来。那里有我给你的东西。”当天夜里,风雨交加,雷声大作,已得到灵魂救赎的安迪越狱成功。
原来二十年来,安迪每天都在用那把小石锤挖洞,然后用海报将洞口遮住。同时,因为他对经济聪明的头脑,典狱长一直让安迪为他做黑账,洗钱,将他用监狱的廉价劳动力赚来的黑钱一笔笔转出去。而安迪将这些黑钱全部寄放在一个叫斯蒂文的人名下,其实这个斯蒂文是安迪虚构出来的人物,安迪为斯蒂文做了驾驶证,身份证等各种证明,可谓天衣无缝。安迪越狱后,用斯蒂文这个化名,以斯蒂文的身份领走了部分监狱长存的黑钱,用这笔不小的数目过上了不错的生活。并告发了监狱长贪污受贿的真相。监狱长在自己存小账本的保险柜里见到的是安迪留下的一本圣经,扉页上写着:“监狱长,您说得对,得救之道,就在其中。”当看到里边挖空的部分正好可以放下小石锤时。监狱长领悟到其实安迪一直都没有屈服过。而这时,警方正向监狱赶来逮捕监狱长,最后监狱长饮弹自尽。
瑞德获得了假释,他在橡树下找到了一盒现金和安迪留给他的一封信后,决定违反假释规定,寻找自由。便动身去芝华塔内欧。两个老朋友安迪和瑞德终于在墨西哥阳光明媚的海滩重逢。
