  • 家园 【原创】《The Producers》——一個基於基於關於歌劇的電影的歌劇的電影

    This is a movie based on a play based on a movie about a play.

    ——As quoted from IMDB

    今天是Boxing Day,The Producers的二零零五年新版上映了。我看的全天第二場,只有寥寥無幾的不到十個人,看起來也都是和我一樣的鐵杆fans,看到片尾字幕結束才退場的那種。

    說起來這片子是個B級片兒,可我就是架不住喜歡——更大程度上是對全系列The Producers作品的熱愛吧,因爲這片子作爲電影而言是在是乏善可陳,更像一個搬上銀幕的歌劇——它本來就是個歌劇。

    這系列作品的歷史說起來十分繞口,正像標題說的那樣。最早的作品是一九六八年的電影(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063462/),是一個過關於氣的百老匯製片人和一個小會計師計劃利用爛歌劇騙錢的故事,他們找來了最差的劇本、最爛的導演和最糗的演員,可是最終的音樂劇卻出人意料的大受歡迎。

    然後到了二零零一年,原片的導演Mel Brooks將這電影搬上了舞臺,橫掃當年的托尼獎,贏得了破紀錄的十二個獎項。

    接下來是二零零五年,Mel Brooks又將電影依照音樂劇的劇情重制,再次搬上了銀幕(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395251/)。

    Mel Brooks曾經導演過著名的《Get Smart》,這東西可以説是喜劇偵探片的鼻祖,包括《Sledge Hammer》在内的許多片子都有向這部連續劇致敬的情節。《The Producers》是Mel Brooks的第一部電影,他之後的作品全部或多或少的援用了這部電影中的情節。

    全片的高潮是《Springtime For Hilter》,就是片中音樂劇的開場曲,而這也曾經是六八年電影原本的名字。這首歌就不多說了,大家自己聼罷:

    (音樂劇版)

    說說對六八年、零五年電影與音樂劇的一點看法吧:

    六八年電影版:作爲一部喜劇電影,這部小成本片子無懈可擊。IMDB評分7.8,而這部電影一直持續上映到二零零三年(!)。劇情的設計十分周全,全部演員的表演也都十分到位。

    音樂劇:在舊電影版的基礎上添加了許多細節並修改了部分非關鍵性劇情,如果用一個詞描述的話就是“華麗”。不過似乎有一些劇情沒有交代清楚,或許是我聼的CD版本刪減了部分内容?該劇目前還在倫敦每日上演,將來應該會去看。

    零五年電影:新電影完全基於音樂劇的劇情製作,補全了沒有交代的劇情,含有音樂劇的全部曲目,演員也幾乎是音樂劇的全部原班人馬——除了女主角換Uma Thurman、一個男配角換Will Ferrell之外。不過可能也正是這個原因,新電影版的表演風格更象是舞臺劇,如果當電影看的話可能會失望。場面是加倍的華麗,演員上略不如初代電影:男主角一Max Bialystock由Nathan Lane出演,可以說毫不遜色于原版;男主角二Leo Bloom的演員是Matthew Broderick,表演上稍微欠些火候;Uma Thurman的女主角Ulla在視覺效果上異常出色,可她唱的不行,而這片子本質上還是一個音樂劇……另外四千五百万美元的預算,恐怕有五分之一都花在Uma的片酬上了罷。

    過氣貧窮的前百老匯之王、夢想成爲製片人的小小會計師、名字長度有二十五個元音的瑞典辣妹、暗戀元首的脫逃納粹、Gay到無以復加的華麗導演以及他有同樣嗜好的華麗製作班子……強烈推薦大家找來看,這片子最適合元旦糾集一群人一起看了

    [雖然無極也適合糾集一群人一起看……但這不一樣。]

    Thanks for coming to see our show

    Sad to tell you we got to go

    Grab your hat and head for the door

    In case you didn't notice, there ain't any more!

    If you like our show tell ev'ryone but...

    If you think it stinks, keep your big mouth shut!

    We're glad you came but we have to shout

    Adios, au revoir, wiedersehen, ta-ta-ta

    Goodbye...get lost...get out!!

    • 家园 我觉得观众不少啊

      我去看的时候观众超过一半,而且整个放映过程中笑声不断,看来大家还是比较认可的

    • 家园 请问什么是Boxing Day?
      • 家园 Boxing Day就是十二月二十六號

        這個名字的起源有很多种説法,我聽到的一個是這樣的:若干年以前,英國的地主要在聖誕的次日給僕人們發獎金和禮物,這些都盛在一個木盒子裏發放下去;於是這一天(12/26)就叫做Boxing day

      - Springtime for Hitler Lyrics

      CHORUS:

      Germany was having trouble

      What a sad, sad story

      Needed a new leader to restore

      Its former glory

      Where, oh, where was he?

      Where could that man be?

      We looked around and then we found

      The man for you and me

      LEAD TENOR STORMTROOPER:

      And now it's...

      Springtime for Hitler and Germany

      Deutschland is happy and gay!

      We're marching to a faster pace

      Look out, here comes the master race!

      Springtime for Hitler and Germany

      Rhineland's a fine land once more!

      Springtime for Hitler and Germany

      Watch out, Europe

      THE HEIL-LOs:

      The Fuhrer is causing a furor!

      He's got those Russians on the run

      You gotta love that wacky hun!

      The Fuhrer is causing a furor

      They can't say "no" to his demands

      They're freaking out in foreign lands

      He's got the whole world in his hands

      The Fuhrer is causing a furor!

      ROGER:

      I was just a paper hanger

      No one more obscurer

      Got a phone call from the Reichstag

      Told me I was Fuhrer

      Germany was blue

      What, oh, what to do?

      Hitched up my pants

      And conquered France

      Now Deutschland's smiling through!

      But it wasn't always so easy...

      It was 1932. Hindenburg was working the Big Room and I...

      I was playing the lounge. And then I got my big break.

      Somebody burned down the Reichstag. And, would you believe it?

      They made me Chancellor. Chancellor!

      It ain't no myst'ry

      If it's politics or hist'ry

      The thing you gotta know is

      Ev'rything is show biz

      Heil myself

      Watch my show

      I'm the German Ethel Merman

      Dontcha know

      We are crossing borders

      The new world order is here

      Make a great big smile

      Ev'ryone sieg heil to me

      Wonderful me!

      And now it's...

      CHORUS:

      Springtime for Hitler and Germany

      Goose-step's the new step today

      ROGER:

      Springtime!

      Goose-steps!

      CHORUS MEN:

      Bombs falling from the skies again

      CHORUS:

      Deutschland is on the rise again

      ROGER & CHORUS:

      Springtime for Hitler and Germany

      U-boats are sailing once more

      Springtime for Hitler and Germany

      ROGER:

      Means that...

      CHORUS:

      Soon we'll be going...
