這部影片的兩對主角的設(shè)置很容易讓人想起２，３年前的Closer
Closer里的Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman，每一個都是能夠獨(dú)擋一面的大牌明星
這部影片改編自舞臺劇，對白簡短犀利，多數(shù)場景是1vs1的對手戲，四位主演飆戲非常精彩
最終還為Natalie Portman和Clive Owen帶來了他們職業(yè)生涯的第一個奧斯卡提名
這次The Holiday的四位主角Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Jack Black同樣都是極具票房號召力
除了同時出現(xiàn)在2部電影中的Jude Law，其他3位都作為頒獎人出現(xiàn)在今年的奧斯卡頒獎禮上
帥哥Jude Law自從前年被Chris Rock狠狠的奚落了一番之后，至今一蹶不振，再也沒有出現(xiàn)在奧斯卡上，看來他東山再起還需時日

片中有個非常有趣的鏡頭
Winslet和Jack在逛碟店的時候，說到了"The Graduate"
這時候鏡頭上出現(xiàn)了Dustin Hoffman本人！
他喃喃自語道“看來在哪都能碰到啊”
這就像是你對著姚明的廣告牌指指點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的時候他本人出現(xiàn)在你身后...
真是令人忍俊不禁

片中Jude Law的兩個女兒實(shí)在是太可愛了
個人認(rèn)為比網(wǎng)上流傳的那對可愛的雙胞胎女孩還可愛
她們在獲得這個和大牌明星合作的機(jī)會之前一定是經(jīng)過了重重選拔的吧

片中的那個老人的扮演者是Eli Wallach
我查了一下他的資料，居然是"The Good, The Bad and the Ugly"中The Ugly的扮演者
當(dāng)年英姿勃發(fā)的牛仔如今已是滿臉皺紋，不由得讓人慨嘆歲月的無情
順便說一句，The good, the bad and the ugly在imdb top 250上已經(jīng)超越指環(huán)王三成為第4名
片子是今年奧斯卡終身成就獎獲得者Ennio Marricone配樂的，請Clint Eastwood給他頒獎跟這部片子有很大關(guān)系

這位老人今年已經(jīng)92歲了，片中他至少有2處倚老賣老的對白，頗為有趣
一次是他問Kate是從拿來的，她說了一個地名（具體我忘了）
然后他就說，啊，Cary Grant就是那里人
Kate問他怎么知道的
他說Cary Grant親自告訴他的
Cary Grant是半個多世紀(jì)前的著名演員，許多人應(yīng)該看過他主演的North by northwest
他獲過2次奧斯卡提名，并在1970年獲得奧斯卡終身成就獎

第二次他賣的么，那就更老了
他說他參與了Casablanca里那句"Here's looking at you, kid"的修改
原來的版本是Here's looking at you, Ilsa
如果是這樣的話，那這將會是一句再普通不過的臺詞
修改后的版本已經(jīng)成為影史的經(jīng)典臺詞，甚至被某權(quán)威雜志評為史上100句經(jīng)典臺詞的第5位。

Jack Black在戲中的職業(yè)是電影配樂人
自然，他會提到許多配樂人的名字，其中最著名的當(dāng)數(shù)John Williams
比起今年拿到奧斯卡終身成就獎的Ennio Marricone，他則要幸運(yùn)許多了
他一共獲得二十幾次提名，并且拿到了5座小金人
隨便列幾個吧...
星戰(zhàn)系列，辛德勒名單，奪寶奇兵系列，拯救大兵瑞恩，侏羅紀(jì)公園，少數(shù)派報告，超人歸來，哈利波特系列

Cameron Diaz擁有的那座加州別墅，價值數(shù)百萬
最讓我流口水的是里邊那一整壁櫥的DVD，據(jù)說仔細(xì)點(diǎn)可以發(fā)現(xiàn)"Iris"，Kate Winslet本人就是其中的演員，呵呵

就這些了，其實(shí)仔細(xì)看的話電影里好玩的地方蠻多的...

《The Holiday》中提到的Shakespeare的一句話
‘’Journeys end in lovers' meeting’‘ 漂泊止于愛人的相遇。
出自Shakespeare的一首愛情詩歌。
全詩在此
并附上翻譯


O Mistress Mine
 
O Mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O, stay and hear; your true love's coming,
That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.
What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies not plenty;
Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.


我的姑娘

我的姑娘哦，你要去哪里？
留下，安靜傾聽，
你的真愛正悄悄來臨，
聽它高歌淺吟
停止四處游蕩吧，美麗的情人
漂泊止于愛人的相遇，這是人人都懂的道理
什么才是愛情？這就是愛情
趁現(xiàn)在盡情的歡笑
未來難以預(yù)測
這里沒有謊言
那么來親吻我吧！妙齡美人！
青春會稍縱即逝

再見肥仔杰.上次一別還是<金剛>之后.

不是為了他,就憑傻大姐卡沒隆地牙次,跟我最討厭的小生糗的騾,是不足以吸引我去戲院看的.
雖然還有肥溫.自從金凱瑞那部失憶癥女郎之后，我已經(jīng)越來越愛肥溫拉.絕對是演技跟本色派.
果然她跟肥仔杰在一起，有點(diǎn)感覺怪怪的.她是溫馨知性的形象,雖然故意表現(xiàn)地活潑親切,且手足無措.簡直是倫敦版的鄭秀文.
這次驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)傻大姐在<變臉>里那張充滿誘惑跟在<哈拉瑪利>里陽光燦爛的臉,居然老得~~~~這發(fā)現(xiàn)簡直跟上次看<偷情>里的大嘴蘿卜瓷老了一樣,讓人嘆息.
卡沒隆大姐還跟肥溫不一樣，后者的眼紋好象不太讓人注意,但前者就簡直是美人遲暮啊.不禁暗自擔(dān)心,小賈同學(xué)看久了會不會有一天審美疲勞啊.不過幸好,身材還是超棒,嘴唇依然是好來物數(shù)一數(shù)二的性感翹嘴唇.
糗的騾帥哥極盡深情之能事.這次的角色相當(dāng)討巧,演有兩個小女兒的單身父親.據(jù)說現(xiàn)在美貌單身父親控絕對是潮流所向,南希大人果然不愧是言情片炮制高手啊.可惜他再怎么好看，也不是我的型.我還是喜歡他演的<兵臨城下>里不是靠耍帥的神槍手瓦犀利多些.

相當(dāng)溫馨的題材，配合圣誕氣氛,在一個寒冷一個熱辣的兩地交換.兩種圣誕,一樣的愛情.
該說說我最心水的肥仔杰了.很可惜,他老人家在此戲中的戲份少得可憐.丑生難道就不能多給點(diǎn)鏡頭嗎?而且也沒啥突破性，基本就是在重復(fù)自己以前的表演拉. 多少讓我有些失望.最喜歡看他神經(jīng)質(zhì)地表演,可惜為了不跟主題違背,他居然還演得是個癡心情長賤的老實(shí)好男人呢.這還是我們熟悉的<搖滾學(xué)校 >里的痞子天才,跟<失戀排行榜>里的神經(jīng)質(zhì)店員嗎?
所幸,他還是演一個樂人.電影配樂人.在DVD店依然有段還算可以打正分的小亮點(diǎn).而他模仿的各名片的音樂中，還有<畢業(yè)生>的片段,居然老達(dá)死頂火夫慢,還軋了一個鏡頭,實(shí)在讓人會心一樂.
跟肥溫的感情戲,沒什么鋪墊,簡直就是為了湊對而湊對.不過雖然情節(jié)設(shè)計的有些牽強(qiáng),但兩人的對手戲還是滿有看頭.部分眼神火花四射.只是死胖子站在溫姐身邊,實(shí)在是太不般配了.黑線~~~~我~~~果然還是在愛情片里鄙視非美型的俗人啊~~~囧rz



最后的結(jié)尾稍嫌平淡了些,委實(shí)沒什么讓人印象深刻的高潮~~~論編劇功力絕對沒有<偷情>里高干,且也無有那里特別讓人動心的背景樂.不能不說是個遺憾.
看愛情輕喜劇(其實(shí)也談不上喜劇拉，只是大團(tuán)圓好結(jié)局吧)的好處是,心里洋溢著一股溫情.年輕的女人看了,覺得愛情還是美好的,我還有希望去經(jīng)歷.歲數(shù)大的女人看了，覺得我的人生也曾有過那樣美麗的時刻,摸摸臉,心里想起過去,亦有回憶的浪漫。盡管那有可能是人為美化的.
因?yàn)槭窍挛鐖?全場只得7位觀眾.
老老少少的6位女性.我只是在想，那唯一一個嚼著小熊糖的男人,他是為什么來看的呢?

(PS,非得再控訴一下我對SONY公司的鄙視.自從他們購買了哥倫比亞,就幾乎在任何旗下的電影中不放過任何一個出現(xiàn)他們產(chǎn)品的機(jī)會.上次的 007如此,這次的HOLIDAY又如此.我看到那無處不在的SONY音響,SONY電視就覺得實(shí)在是倒胃口.難道他們不知道，在一個歐洲知識分子家里出現(xiàn)那么大一臺SONY平面直角,是很可恥的嗎?還有,繼續(xù)大用特用VAIO的筆記本,嘔賣糕的，不怕電池再次自焚嗎?)

這段時間盡量看一些不用動腦子的電影。戀愛假期很溫暖。

不搭界的兩國四人，奇妙的交換空間，彼此交錯而未必有終局。戀愛假期不會讓你期待童話收尾，只告訴你至少今天你還可以抓得住。

溫暖的假期，導(dǎo)演用了點(diǎn)可愛的伎倆。于是片子里就有了很多很奇妙的好萊塢華麗小點(diǎn)心。霍夫曼，滿墻的碟，加上很多別人說了我不知道的，這算是部很好看小料點(diǎn)綴夠足的商業(yè)電影。不用動太多腦子，很溫暖就像溫絲萊特的笑容。像結(jié)局一樣，一切都可以緩期執(zhí)行。


笑容收人的英國花樣美男裘德洛驚艷的超級童話奶爸生活，迷人的的傻大姐卡梅隆迪亞茲少有的穿這么嚴(yán)肅，還穿著純情的讓人感慨萬分的白色小內(nèi)衣。溫絲萊特向來溫潤如玉，她好像知性版的莫妮卡貝魯奇。啊還有一個杰克布萊克，什么時候看著他都高興，聽說這人神叨異常也就好玩異常。

好喜歡樣板間裘德洛在這部電影里的樣子，帥成那樣的單身奶爸總是很討姑娘愛不釋手的喜歡。他和卡梅隆的臉盤格格不入。他們本身就不搭界。兩對四角，明顯的不同國籍，就這樣互相交集，童話了一把?？仿〉拇蠓孔诱嫫粒瑴亟z萊特的小屋溫暖的光亮讓人一下變得柔軟。

關(guān)于卡梅隆。從小，十歲前吧，那時候就喜歡她的模樣，笑容甜美金黃頭發(fā)，我好友的婚禮里面的滿分女友。家里現(xiàn)在存著成捆的老大眾電影，是我小時候最愛之一，那上面常常有她修長的樣子。他是相當(dāng)混的混血。我記得大概提到了八個國家。怪不得這樣靈透好看長腿大眼。后來長大了一些，那時候傻瓜一樣刻意喜歡傳說中有深度電影。很好笑。然后自然而然覺得此女美的膚淺呀，現(xiàn)在我發(fā)覺我還是很喜歡她，雖然她明顯的老態(tài)卻仍然甜美傻氣的可恥。

看戀愛假期只需要放輕松。其實(shí)也不用糾結(jié)里面的大小點(diǎn)綴也可以很滿足。

就像結(jié)局，不用擔(dān)心什么時候該離開。管它呢。今天，我們很快樂。不要強(qiáng)迫自己想明天的事。偶爾，這樣寵溺自己。

溫絲萊特住的深閨小屋，google真的可以找到。

Arthur Abbott: Say a man and a woman both need something to sleep in and both go to the same men's pajama department. The man says to the salesman, "I just need bottoms," and the woman says, "I just need a top." They look at each other and that's the 'meet cute.'

Amanda: You know Graham, I just broke up with someone and considering you just showed up and you're insanely good-looking and probably won't remember me anyway... I'm thinking we should have sex... If you want.
Graham: Is that a trick question?

Graham: I have the classic male problem of no follow through. Absolutely never remember to call after a date - but as this wasn't a date, I guess I'm off the hook.

Iris: Because you're hoping you're wrong. And every time she does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it. And every time she comes through and suprises you, she wins you over, and you lose that argument with yourself, that she's not for you.
Miles: Exactly, and on top of that there's the old standby, I can't believe a girl like that would actually be with a guy like me.

Miles: Iris, if you were a melody... I used only the good notes.

Miles: Don't blow away.

Arthur Abbott: Iris, in the movies, we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason, you're behaving like the best friend.

Iris: You're supposed to be the leading lady in your own life, for God's sake!

Iris: I've found almost everything ever written about love to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said "love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones, the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life! The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual symptoms.

Iris: It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. and how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. and you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little peices of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.
