2012電影清單趴萬/2012 Movie List Part I

電影是我生活中不可或缺的娛樂。來到米國、尤其一個人住後,看電影的次數更是大幅增加。我一直好奇:一個人一輩子到底可以看多少電影?而我一年又看多少電影?這樣是多還是少?藉由年度電影回顧,我想,對這些無聊的問題多少有些答案吧。

首先,來推薦2012年獲得我本人五顆心大力推薦的片子:

三個傻瓜3 Idiots
我沒有很愛寶萊塢的歌舞場景,不過這部片的確是部好片,劇情偶爾有點多餘冗長(長達三小時啊),但仍不掩其為印度最賣座電影之一的風采!
 
發條橘子A Clockwork Orange
史丹利庫柏利克的經典作品。二手DVD價格也比其他片子貴。沒有血腥的場景,但故事走向並不令人感到舒服。結局出乎意料,頗令人深思。推薦想要看嚴肅作品的觀眾。

分居風暴A Separation
每個人的生命中,都有無法排解的難題。很真實,也很令人難過的一部伊朗電影。

第凡內早餐Breakfast at Tiffany's
奧黛莉赫本的作品。雖是愛情故事,但不同於龍鳳配或羅馬假期的夢幻,浪漫中也摻有現實的成分。我還蠻喜歡的。

奇愛博士Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
史丹利庫柏利克的另一經典名作。相較於發條橘子,同樣發人深思,但奇愛博士呈現方式比較輕鬆,我也比較喜歡這部。

充氣娃娃之戀Lars and the Real Girl 
看過了日片空氣人形,對這部片的背景設定並不感訝異。雷恩葛斯林在這部片中飾演內向不喜且不善與人交際的宅男,大大顛覆我對他的印象!

曾經。愛是唯一Once
很平實的一部愛爾蘭電影,不過我很喜歡這部片的音樂。看完後有淡淡的憂傷和感動。

客製化女神Ruby Sparks
這我真是大力推薦,完全超乎我預期的一部佳作!劇情輕快明暢,有歡笑、有悲傷,但又充滿希望,可是我的2012年度最佳電影!

大藝術家The Artist
作為幾乎沒有台詞的電影,要能夠吸引觀眾一個半小時的注意力,就可以知道劇情多精采有趣!

Movies have always been the most important entertainment in my life.  Living in the US and by myself greatly increase the chance of watching movies (well since I have more time slots to fill in.)  I am always curious about how many movies a person can watch in his entire life?  and how many I watch every year?  Is it a lot, or not?  By reviewing the movies I watched in the past year, I guess I can somewhat find the answer.

First, let me talk about the movies that I truly enjoyed and highly recommend:

3 Idiots
I don't always enjoy the music and dance in Bollywood films.  However, this is a really great movie.  The plot is a bit too long and redundant - it is a three-hour movie, but you won't find the three hours wasted.
 
A Clockwork Orange
A Stanley Kubrick's classic film.  Even the used DVD is more expensive than other films.  There were no bloody scenes, but still not a pleasant story.  The ending of the story was quite surprising, and thought provoking.  Recommend to audience who want serious movies.

A Separation
Everyone has their own difficulties in their lives.  A very real, and very sad Iranian movie.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
Unlike the romantic fantasy in Sabrina or Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany's told us a love story of one poor couple, which instead, made me love this film more.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Another classic work by Stanley Kubrick.  This film is also thought provoking, but more humorous, comparing to A Clockwork Orange.  Hence I like this film better.

Lars and the Real Girl  
Since I watched the Japanese film Air Doll before, the setting of this movie is not new to me.  However, I was surprised by Ryan Gosling acting as a delusional guy in this movie, which is totally different from his role in Crazy Stupid Love.

Once
This is a simple Irish film without any fancy movie shooting technique, yet it touches your heart.  I also enjoyed the music.

Ruby Sparks
I would highly recommend this film, which was totally beyond my expectation!  It is funny, sad, but also full of hope.  My favorite movie of 2012.

The Artist
I really enjoyed this film a lot.  The plot was beyond my expectation, and the storyline was quiet interesting as well, even though this is nearly a silent film.
