#69: Movie criticism and box office

Chapter 69 第69章 Movie criticism and box office 影评和票房 „ This is one is filling the movie of hope, is similar to those words on playbill: Made you walk into the prison timidly, hopes that helped you to gain the freedom. The movie beginning is let banker Andy who plays by Tim Robbins, when lang is put in prison, the charge is to murder the wife and sweetheart, all sorts of debates of law makes us favor him has done this matter, after may be put in prison all sorts of performance to be doubtable he to be innocent, this question does not have the answer a long time. “这是一部充满着希望的电影,就如同海报上的那句话:胆怯令你步入囚牢,希望助你获得自由。电影开场就让由蒂姆罗宾斯饰演的银行家安迪当啷入狱,罪名是谋杀妻子及其情人,法的种种辩论让我们倾向于他做过这件事,可入狱后的种种表现却让人怀疑他是无辜的,这个疑问在很长一段时间都没有答案。 However from many places can see that some clue come, Judes who when Morgan Freeman plays is leading the prisoners in Shawshank prison when the roof is drinking the cool beer, the first subject of movie concavely has revealed that this is the thing of we for long pursue diligently has been also free. 不过从很多地方都可以看出些端倪来,当摩根弗里曼所饰演的瑞德带着肖申克监狱的囚犯们在屋顶喝着凉爽的啤酒时,电影的第一个主题就凹显了出来,这也是我们长久以来一直孜孜不倦的追求的东西自由。 Andy bit by bit is affecting the viewpoint of personal maidservant on this change, when the prison broadcast resounds «Figaro's Wedding», in drill ground listening respectfully of all criminal stay still, along with Judes's aside, we saw another subject hopes. 安迪就这样一点一点的改变着影响着身边人的观点,当监狱广播响起《费加罗的婚礼》时,当操场上所有犯人都静止不动的聆听时,随着瑞德的旁白,我们又看到了另外一个主题希望。 All that he makes are not insignificant, this can see from Judes's three parole hearings. The first time, he wants to get by under false pretences \; The second time, he deals with \; Only the third time, after Andy escapes from prison, after the corrupt warden and prison guard were punished, he seemed like cares about nothing to understand a lot in the heart of hearts. Therefore, he obtained the parole. The third subject of movie also therefore expressed came out to redeem. 他所做的一切并不是无意义,这从瑞德的三次假释听证会上就可以看出。第一次,他想要蒙混过关\;第二次,他只是应付了事\;只有第三次,在安迪越狱之后,在腐败的监狱长和狱警遭到惩罚后,他看似毫不在乎可在内心深处已经明白了很多事情。于是,他得到了假释。电影的第三个主题也因此表达了出来救赎。 Now we should know Andy is innocent, otherwise he will always not be maintaining in this gloomy prison his small hope, will be maintaining his to the free hope. In fact the movie after two-thirds plots in the past, through one because of the youth who the larceny was put in prison the mouth, killed the truth of wife and sweetheart about Andy is exposed finally. However, closes right up against Andy money laundering warden Norton not to be actually willing to put him to leave, and has killed the youth of being put in prison finally. 现在我们应该知道安迪是无辜的了,否则他不会在这这阴暗的监狱中始终保持着他那小小的希望,保持着他那对自由的期盼。实际上电影在2的情节过去后,通过一位因为盗窃罪而入狱的青年的之口,关于安迪杀死妻子及其情人的真相终于被揭露了出来。然而,靠着安迪洗钱监狱长诺顿却不肯放他离开,并最终杀死了入狱的青年。 Therefore, the channel that Andy by buys the small crandall that digs out through Judes to run away, the dirty dirt river, has washed completely the evil, in other shore rebirth! The warden has thus paid the price, has been redeemed Judes of success parole meets in Mexico and Andy again. 因此,安迪靠通过瑞德买到的小石锤挖出的通道逃了出去,涉过肮脏污河,涤尽罪恶,在彼岸重生！监狱长从而付出了代价,得到救赎而成功假释的瑞德则在墨西哥和安迪重遇。 Tim or Morgan, displayed the exquisite performing skill, Andy's calm and brilliant, Judes numb, but as well as final confession, in their expressions and body languages splendid showed. 无论是蒂姆还是摩根,都表现出了精湛的演技,安迪的沉稳和睿智,瑞德的麻木和无奈以及最后的忏悔,都在他们的表情和肢体语言中出色的展现出来。 Naturally, has lasting achievements as Adrian of director, this manufactured two small cost high box offices and in one year obtains the successful wizard director to show the exquisite skill at Europe the film festivals, audience's mood fluctuating control just right, believes that everyone noticed Andy climbed over the sewer to escape , in the rain looked up to the sky will be able not help to applaud to cheer for him. In addition he supposed the innumerable details in the movie, making the entire movie obviously taste, has to acknowledge that he will tell the story very much. In any event, this is one is worth a view the movie. ” 当然,作为导演的阿德里安也功不可没,这位在一年内制作出两部小成本高票房并在欧洲的电影节上获得成功的鬼才导演展现出了精湛的技巧,将观众的情绪起伏掌控恰到好处,相信每个人看到安迪爬过下水道逃出在雨中仰望天空的时候都会情不自禁为他鼓掌欢呼。加上他在电影中设下了无数的细节,让整部电影更显回味,不得不承认他很会讲故事。无论如何,这是一部值得一观的电影。” «Washington Post» Wayne Jackson 《华盛顿邮报》韦恩杰克逊 This is in the middle of the next day newspaper, to a «Shawshank's Redemption» typical movie criticism. Different with the Adrian memory, most movie critics expressed the commendation to this movie. 这是第二天的报纸当中,对《肖申克的救赎》颇具代表性的一篇影评。和阿德里安记忆中不一样,大多数影评人对这部电影都表示了称赞。 This no doubt because of Fern together with global propaganda merit, is related with the astonishing performance of Adrian, in one year manufactures director first one of the two small cost high box office movies, moreover individual style strong at the same time also changeable, from «Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels» to «Memento» again to present «Shawshank's Redemption», three movie three different styles, the similarity has, but the different places are more, this was too astonishing. 这固然是因为拉弗恩连同环球的宣传功劳,也和阿德里安的惊人表现不无关系,一年内制作两部小成本高票房电影的导演还是头一个,而且个人风格浓烈的同时还变化多端,从《两杆大烟枪》到《记忆碎片》再到现在的《肖申克的救赎》,三部电影三种不同的风格,相似之处有但不同的地方更多,这实在太让人吃惊了。 Naturally, the «Shawshank's Redemption» quality is very splendid, how otherwise the personal history of director is astonishing, how the method of propaganda is wise, will not obtain such result. However some praises have attack inevitably, do not forget initially him to declare when this is unit „approximate perfect movie”, how these people said. 当然,《肖申克的救赎》本身的质量就很出色,否则导演的履历再怎么惊人,宣传的手段再怎么高明,都不会得到这样的结果。不过有赞扬必然也有抨击,别忘了当初他宣称这是部“近似完美的电影”时,那些人是怎么说的。 „ «Shawshank's Redemption» is the unit mediocre work, Tim Robbins in the middle of prison likely disciple, but is not the prisoner, Morgan Freeman of talking incessantly is always using the offscreen voice to suffer the ear of audience, excuse me, can little say two? “《肖申克的救赎》是部平庸之作,蒂姆罗宾斯在监狱当中更像个圣徒而不是囚犯,唠叨的摩根弗里曼始终在用画外音折磨着观众的耳朵哦,拜托,能少说两句吗？ Except for warden sly with the anomalies of certain criminals, other having nothing worthwhile. Naturally, as the most important three plays, makes the beer to drink in the roof, in private broadcasts some music as well as final fleeing anticipations, but the loose plot was very easy before seeing these falls asleep. 除了监狱长的狡猾和某些犯人的变态,其他的乏善可陈。当然,作为最重要的三段戏,在屋顶挣得啤酒喝、私下播放音乐以及最后的出逃还是有些看点的,可松散的情节却很容易让人在看到这些之前就睡着了。 Very obviously, the director attempts expressed the lots, hope that freedom, redemption, system and so on, the thing that what a pity expressed were more is easier to express not well. Many directors have tumbled in this above, Adrian was also no exception, to waste Tim and Morgan's performing skill as well as Stephen King's novel completely. Adrian was too young, I think that he continues to make some cult movie or will be quite good. ” 很显然,导演试图在其中表达很多东西,希望、自由、救赎、体制化等等等等,可惜表达的东西越多越容易表达不好。很多导演都在这上面跌倒过,阿德里安也不会例外,完全浪费了蒂姆和摩根的演技以及斯蒂芬金的小说。阿德里安还是太年轻了,我想他还是继续去拍一些更为cult的电影或者会比较好。” «Los Angeles Times» Clancy Pope 《洛杉矶时报》克兰西波普 This movie criticism can regard as to be most typical similarly in the article of criticism, their main points of attack in three places: The characterization has the deviation and rhythm to be relatively loose the thing that as well as want to express to be too many. 这篇影评同样可以看做在批评的文章最具有代表性的,他们的主要攻击点在三个地方:人物塑造有偏差、节奏相对松散以及想要表达的东西太多。 It looks like the criticism is very as if critical, but these criticism in many person eyes stands the non- foot, thinks that this somewhat belongs finds fault intentionally. Actually, this feeling is not these will use the seriousness to treat movie the mistake of movie critic to everybody, how mainly lies in certain to attract the fellow who how the eyeball writes to like following, but cursed at people or criticizes this matter to do unavoidably will become addicted, therefore instead made Adrian many some sympathizers. 看起来批评似乎很中肯,但在很多人眼中这些批评都站不脚,都认为这有些属于故意挑刺。其实,会给大家这种感觉并不是那些用严肃态度对待电影的影评人的错,主要在于某些怎么吸引眼球就怎么写的家伙喜欢跟风,而骂人或者说批评这种事做多了难免会上瘾,于是反而让阿德里安多了部分同情者。 Generally speaking the high praise is in the majority, although superiority was actually not enough appealingly walks into the theater very much obviously, moreover do not forget also to have the same friendship. North American first week weekend box office does not satisfy people, has about 23 million tightly, must know that global has related almost 2000 movie theaters for «Shawshank's Redemption». Although did not expect that the first week like «Terminator 2» can attain 60 million box offices, but about 23 million data really make the person be worried very much. 总的来说还是好评居多,虽然优势不是很明显却足够吸引人走入影院了,而且别忘了还有同情分呢。只是北美首周周末票房并不是让人很满意,紧有23000000左右,要知道环球为了《肖申克的救赎》可是联系了差不多2000家电影院。虽然不期望像《终结者2》那样首周就能拿到60000000的票房,可23000000左右的数据实在让人很担心。 However along with passing of time, this worry dissipated gradually, after Halloween, entered in November, the box office of second week has attained 27 million unexpectedly! Most movie fans watched this movie to express the commendation in the movie theater, handed down through these movie fans, led many people to enter the theater. Therefore, the box office of second week is instead higher than the first week. 不过随着时间的流逝,这种担心渐渐的消散了,万圣节之后进入了11月,第二周的票房居然拿到了27000000！大多数影迷在电影院里观看了这部电影都表示了称赞,通过这些影迷的口口相传,又带动不少人进影院。因此,第二周的票房反而比第一周要高。 As the matter stands, the North American total box office 50 million over, basically have almost preserved the cost. If behind continues maintains such tendency, in addition thanks to Adrian beforehand two movies, the «Shawshank's Redemption» overseas distribution rights early has sold, round the world while recovering investment can definitely gain one again. 这样一来,北美总票房差不多有50000000出头了,基本上已经保住了成本。如果后面继续保持这样的势头,加上托阿德里安之前两部电影的福,《肖申克的救赎》的海外发行权已经早早的卖了出去,环球在收回投资的同时肯定能再赚上一笔。 Therefore, in mid November, round the world was the «Shawshank's Redemption» splendid result has held the glee feast of moderate scale in Hilton of Beverly mountain. 因此,在11月中旬,环球在贝弗利山的希尔顿酒店为《肖申克的救赎》的出色成绩举办了个中等规模的庆功宴。
