《沉寂之桥(普通话版)》剧情简介
Marg Duffield (Lee Remick ) is the Maine wife of Al (Joseph Sommer) whose daughter Peg (Marlee Matlin ) is deaf. Peg's husband is killed in a car accident on the way to visit the Maine house, and the Duffield's take in Peg's six year old daughter, Lisa, while Peg recovers. Since Lisa is a speaking child, Marg thinks of her the way she wanted Peg to be, and seeks guardian custody.Remick's role is secondary to Matlin's, though she is presented as a tragic figure, particularly as Al refuses to help her plan to gain Lisa. Peg's deafness is said to be from a childhood case of spinal meningitis, and the teleplay by Louisa Burns-Bisogno, with story by Louisa and Tom Bisogno, reduces Remick to a textbook mother who is self-hating from guilt and therefore cannot love her own daughter. In a memorable scene, Peg angrily signs her exit to Marg, since Marg has refused to learn sign language, though Peg has learned to speak for her mother.The treatment uses the Tennesee Williams play, The Glass Menagerie, for therapy, to help Peg overcome her grief and also Marg `lose her unicorn horn' and embrace her daughter. Whilst Peg choosing to act in this play may seem an odd choice for someone grieving, what is more noticable is that Matlin is far too more glamourous to be believable as Laura. The Bisogno's include Michael O'Keefe as Dan, Peg's deceased husband's best friend and director of Actors Theatre for the Deaf, to offer Peg a new romantic interest, and thankfully she rebukes his protestations of love. Although his opinion may be influenced by his `crush', Dan tells Peg that being different is better than being normal, since the normal ones are as `common as weeds'. This philosophy reads as rather Nietzschean, on the level of artists not being restricted to the common moral code.Director Karen Arthur either has those signing also speaking or those signing being translated for the audience, though in one scene the sound of lapping waves drowns out the dialogue between Dan and Peg. She also gives Matlin some good moments, one being her scream of horror when she hears the news of the death of her husband, and another when she chases Remick down a flight of steps, hitting her.
豆瓣短评
- 在国外,莫名想看沉寂之桥(普通话版),看到Lee,Remick,Marlee,Matlin,Michael,O'Keefe这个阵容本来还是有点小期待。结果,哎...很是失望,奇奇怪怪尴尴尬尬,剧情也一言难尽...虽然现在都在拍主旋律都在拍正剧,但也不能这种充数,演员和剧本还是硬功夫。什么时候我们也能拍出那种能够真正吸引人的剧呢?
- 题材大胆、现实立意深刻,抓住社会痛点,剧本扎实。美国在影视创方面的确很厉害,希望动作片多来点这种影视剧,强烈安利大家这部《沉寂之桥(普通话版)》。
- 《沉寂之桥(普通话版)》可太精彩了。前部分就爆了,好爽。节奏很好,有反转感,不错。期待导演Karen,Arthur后续给力点,多拍点这种片子。
- Karen,Arthur拍的的《沉寂之桥(普通话版)》,从剧情风格到配色配音我本人并不太喜欢,但不得不说,会抄也是一种本事,这部电影至少比某些天马行空胡乱自创影楼装服饰满天飞的剧要好的多。
- 《沉寂之桥(普通话版)》的演员表演都很自然,剧情和人物也比较合理,没有太多的刻板印象,特别是在人物塑造上非常好,尤其是演员Lee 饰演的人物特别到位。
