For many Stephen King fans, the definitive portrayal of It's Pennywise, an evil clown that's really a malevolent spirit that feeds off fear, was by Tim Curry in a 1990 TV miniseries. So Bill Skarsgrd has big clown shoes – and pantaloons – to fill. In this film version of the 1986 novel, It is much more clearly a metaphor for how powerful forces can divide and destroy a society, in this case the small town of Derry, Maine, by playing off people's greed, ambitions, and fears – the evil spirit that manifests as Pennywise only appears to people in the form of something that will scare them the most. So for a group of children in Derry, the thing that scares them the most is an evil clown. And, like the children in Stranger Things, these kids have to fight back against the evil facing them.对于史蒂芬金的众多粉丝来说,汤姆克里在1990年的电视短剧《小丑回魂》中定义了小说《死光》中Pennywise的形象,这个邪恶小丑是真正令人战栗的恶魔。因此,出演小丑对于比尔斯卡斯加德是巨大的挑战。根据这部1986年的小说改编的电影版《小丑回魂》中,“死光”被更明显比喻成一种可以分裂、毁灭社会的强大力量,缅因州德里小镇的故事就是一个例子。通过释放人们的贪婪、野心和恐惧,这个化身为Pennywise的恶魔只会以人们最恐惧的事物形态出现。而对于德里镇的一群孩子们来说,他们最害怕的就是邪恶小丑。和《怪奇物语》中的孩子们一样,这群孩子也要向他们面临的恶魔发起反击。 5. 《母亲!》(Mother!) 上映时间:9月15日 Looking like a hybrid of Rosemary's Baby, Funny Games, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Mother! stars Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem as a married couple who, at any superficial glance, appear to be enjoying connubial bliss. But then the husband invites another couple, played by Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer to stay with them, and things go badly wrong. Things go very, very wrong. Mother! appears to have as many frights, if not more so, than Darren Aronofsky's previous foray into horror, Black Swan. Since that film was released in 2010, he's only made one other, Noah (2014), an adaptation of the Biblical tale that polarized critics. What both of those films had in common was characters cast adrift by primordial forces over which they have no control and barely understand – and for at least Jennifer Lawrence's ultimately suffering wife character in Mother! it appears to be much the same. 《母亲!》像是《罗斯玛丽的婴儿》、《趣味游戏》以及《灵欲春宵》融合而成的电影。詹妮弗劳伦斯和哈维尔巴登在片中饰演一对已婚夫妇,他们表面上似乎很享受幸福的婚姻生活。但在丈夫邀请了另一对夫妇(艾德哈里斯和米歇尔菲佛饰)与他们同住后,事情变得糟糕起来,非常糟糕。相比于达伦阿罗诺夫斯基首次执导的恐怖片《黑天鹅》来说,《母亲!》的惊悚程度有过之而无不及。自2010年《黑天鹅》上映后,阿罗诺夫斯基仅仅拍摄了一部改编自圣经神话的电影《诺亚方舟:创世之旅》,该片获得的评价两极分化。这两部影片的共同之处在于,片中角色都被原始力量推向了他们既无法控制也无法理解的境地,至少,对于劳伦斯饰演的痛苦的妻子来说,两者似乎是差不多的。 6.《王牌特工2:黄金圈》(Kingsman: The Golden Circle) 上映时间:9月22日(美国) Matthew Vaughn won over critics with his spy thriller Kingsman: The Secret Service in 2015. Starring Taron Egerton as a street punk recruited by an elite covert intelligence agency dedicated to protecting Britain and wearing suits from Saville Row's finest tailors, the first film managed both to send up spy film conventions (particularly Roger Moore-era Bond) and be an enthralling, suspenseful action film in its own right. In its sequel, Julianne Moore plays a criminal mastermind obsessed with the 1950s and dedicated to replicating that era's aesthetic in her fashion and the design of her lair: a small-town Eisenhower-era 'main street' that just happens to be in the middle of a remote jungle. She's part of The Golden Circle, a Spectre-like organization that wants to remake the world. This time Egerton and his fellow Kingsmen team up with their US counterparts, the Statesmen, including Halle Berry and Channing Tatum, to take on this threat to the global order. 马修沃恩2015年的《王牌特工:特工学院》赢得了评论界的认可。塔伦埃格顿饰演的街头朋克族是一家高级秘密情报机构的雇员,该机构致力于保护英国,身穿萨维尔街手艺最好的裁缝制作的西服。《王牌特工:特工学院》既讽刺了间谍电影的套路(尤其是罗杰摩尔时代的邦德电影),又是一部情节紧扣人心的悬疑动作电影。在续集《王牌特工2:黄金圈》中,朱莉安摩尔扮演一个痴迷于上世纪50年代的犯罪策划者,她一心想要按自己的风格重现那个时代的审美。她的藏身之处设定在一个艾森豪威尔时期小镇风情的“主街”上,这里正好位于一处偏远丛林的中心。摩尔是“黄金圈”的一分子,这是一个想改造世界的邪恶组织。这次,埃格顿以及其他王牌特工与美国特工组织Statesmen的哈里贝瑞、查宁塔图姆等人组队,一起应对世界秩序面临的挑战。 7.《乐高幻影忍者大电影》(The Lego Ninjago Movie) 上映时间:9月22日(美国) |
