失踪2010

有些电影，光看开头就能猜到结局；有些电影，反转在结尾，全程耍得观众团团转。

不过相比之下，今天这部电影才叫厉害，因为你永远不知道下一秒会发生什么。

从片名就开始埋下伏笔，真正做到了十几分钟一个转折——

《爱丽丝的失踪》

这是一部典型的小成本电影，整片看下来只有三个演员，两个场景。

最大手笔就是烧了一辆废旧的小货车。

在这种极简的背后需要剧本必须具备足够的张力，观众才不会腻。

幸运的是，《爱丽丝的失踪》做到了。

电影一上来就是一段三分钟的无台词画面，一壮一瘦两个男人在“布置”一个房间。

他们往墙上贴满隔音泡沫，用木板封死窗户，在床上打满钻孔，又在门上安上锁扣…

当一切布置结束之后，画面突然出现了声音。

这是一个女性的惨叫声，她被这两个人绑架，囚禁在了床上。

随后，两人脱光了她的衣服，拍摄了勒索短片。

绑架、伪装、制作短片，一切都一气呵成。

很明显，这是一起有预谋的绑架，被绑的女孩就是我们的女主角爱丽丝，她是一个富豪的独生女，绑匪目的很明确，要钱！

然而没想到短短几天内，意料之外的事情接连发生。

两个绑匪和一个人质如同坐上了一辆失控的汽车，朝着未知的方向极速狂奔，前路未卜。

第一次转折出现在“壮”劫匪外出时，爱丽丝借上厕所的时机抢下了“瘦”劫匪的枪。

当爱丽丝拿枪指着劫匪的时候，劫匪摘下面罩：原来这个劫匪就是她的男友丹尼尔！

丹尼尔解释道，我只是太爱你了，想从你父亲那里抢点钱然后和你私奔…

两人僵持不下，此时“壮”劫匪突然回来了，爱丽丝也没有其他的选择，只好配合着丹尼尔继续做戏。

不过是晚了几分钟开门，“壮”劫匪一进来对着丹尼尔就是一顿怒骂。

丹尼尔则唯唯诺诺，不敢吭声。

导演在两个劫匪身上用的篇幅不算多，但几句话几个神态，就将两个人的性格、过往勾勒得入木三分。

而这两个劫匪的深情一吻，也让剧情发展变得更加扑朔迷离。

至此，剧情矛盾点也就全在于丹尼尔的选择。

这场绑架案里，基友、钱、爱丽丝，他到底会选择哪个呢？

值得一提的是，本片虽然处处是反转，但并不是为了反转而反转。

影片中的每一次反转都有剧情前后铺垫，真的不得不佩服导演的剧本功力。

你永远不知道导演在哪里反转，但每次反转又觉得情有可原。

看完整部影片不得不说让人有种淋漓尽致的感觉。

情节紧凑，节奏分明，画面感强烈，有什么理由不去看一看呢？

The first and third features from English filmmaker J Blakeson, who most certainly has a partiality for dark and queer characters. TDoAC is a three-person hostage thriller shot on a shoestring, in the mode of William Wyler’s THE COLLECTOR (1965), only more ascetic and messier.

The titular Alice Creed (Arterton) is a rich daddy’s girl, who is kidnapped by two ex-convicts Danny (Compston) and Vic (Marsan), things would go peachy for everyone had it not been the fact that Danny is Alice’s ex-boyfriend, and once this cardinal information is divulged, the whole shebang veers to murkier waters as viewers cannot ascertain who among the three would be the victor, each one seems to an unknown quantity.

The craft on show is adroit, the opening wordless sequences are neat and bracing shot and edited, they smooth the way for audience to gear up for what it is coming - a typical hostage situation set in a single, drab location, where a voluptuous Arterton has to undergo some roughhousing, being gagged, tied, undressed (the usual suspects of S&M fantasy), redressed, and later choked and slapped, but most humiliating of it all, urinating to a bedpan in front of two masked kidnappers.

Well, Blakeson does not actually go to extremes on the path to a torture porn, instead he manipulates various plot twists in a canny way that each time, when a character achieves some sort leverage, the table will be turned in a trice. Also, the fluidity of sexuality plays a major part in the double-cross/counter-double-cross gamesmanship, can sweet nothings soften the gun barrel pointing at your face? Twice out of three you might not luck out.

The long and short of it, TDoAC is an absorbing debut feature mines brilliantly into its meager resource and the outstanding performances from its three players. Can a cowing Eddie Marsan transform himself into a meek lover? You must see for yourself; whereas Martin Compston portrays Danny’s bisexual oscillation with adequacy and Arterton goes for broke in her birthday suit, when all is said and done, countering to what its title alludes to, “disappearance” could be a blessing in disguise.

However, in I CARE A LOT, a Rosamund Pike’s feminist vehicle, Blakeson’s irony and sarcasm goes pitch black. Pike plays a ruthless con woman Marla Grayson, who operates a company legally acquiring the guardianship of elderly people through a duplicitous scheme (often assisted by unscrupulous doctors and inane judges), so their assets are completely at her disposal (though on the face of it, the juridical procedures feel rather facile).

Her gravy train hits a snag when she milks a wrong cow, Jennifer Peterson (a nonplussed then fuming Wiest is always a corker), the apparently perfect candidate, affluent, childless, all alone in the world, actually has a formable friend at court, the Russian mafia boss Roman Lunyov (Dinklage). So when the gloves are off, it is Marla and her girlfriend Fran (González) versus the murderous gangsters, do they have a chance? Or, shall we care?

The answer is yes and no, the ineptitude of Roman’s riffraff is astonishingly shocking (what can you say? they botch not one but two cases of snuffing a defenseless, unconscious woman!), and Marla is depicted as an amoral overachiever, a stony-faced ballbuster, a totally unregenerate bitch (not a scintilla of remorse can be traced on her face), ergo, that really puts audience off from empathizing with her, save for the pungent disgust towards the American Dream she is spoiling for.

If its paint-by-number predator/prey dichotomy sounds trite, its David and Goliath tale seems incredulous and oversimplified, what saves I CARE A LOT from heading to the abyss is Pike. Tricked out in fetching attire and unflappable towards any threats shot at her from the other sex, her Marla is “Amazing Amy” with a vengeance and irrefragably batting for the other team (her affection for Fran is genuine, a viewer might second-guess Marla’s unspecified backstory, how her reprehensible carapace could be the outgrowth of the malefic influence inflicted by the world at large, and Fran’s female warmth becomes her only safe haven). Even in the absence of cordial redeeming feats, it is still riveting to watch Pike’s Marla in action, her fearlessness is both scary and inspiring, you hate her guts but also crave for her guts (or maybe just a part of) ambivalence is here to stay.

At last, Blakeson plumps for poetic justice to put paid to Marla’s unstoppable ascension (can it be construed as a veiled pro-gun testimony? In the United States, the only way for a poor, miserable guy to seek justice from a powerful woman is to use anti-personnel weaponry, how reassuring!), but it feels bathetic, unlike Martin Scorsese’s THE WOLF OF WALL STREET (2013), Blakeson doesn’t know how to dream up a proper coda for a repulsive character, he settles for the safest exit strategy, since everything in I CARE A LOT is Manichaean.

Elsewhere, a debonair Messina lights up the screen as an unethical, soigné lawyer who tries and fails to railroad Marla into dancing to his tunes; Dinklage is always an atypical screen magnet, here his surly temperament is a good match with Pike’s posh sharpness. From TDoAC to I CARE A LOT, the production design goes from drab to hip, Marc Canham’s hypnotic electronic buzz swells and intensifies, but Blakeson’s script and imagination seems to be impeded by a bigger scale and more handsome budget, is it the downside of the money monster?

从影片的中间开始，高潮刚刚起步，就有太多可能性会发生，而你却不知道导演要将这条线往哪边引，他们俩俩组合却各藏私心，说到底都是为了钱，此种低成本却如此内涵的电影是值得一看的。

不是片中老男说怕别人认为我们是新手，还真的被电影的意外连连所雷倒，同志与信任，题材不错，但都浮在表面，给人感觉就是闹剧一场。Eddie Marsan不错，在Happy-Go-Lucky中饰演那个唠唠叨叨爱上女主的司机就很有分量；Gemma Arterton总让人还是想起苔丝，那个嘴角微翘的女孩。

传说英国现在很红 评价非常好的一部低成本电影
整部片子只有一间房间 一部货车 还有3名演员

开场十分钟 只有一句台词"OK" 超紧凑
最讨厌什么内容都是用说的电影了 听了就烦 好电影是不用解释的~~
随着情节的铺陈 会出现超多twist！！

英国口音 听起来有点吃力=_=
不过就算不用翻译 也完全能够理解剧情

结尾部分稍有一些小不合理 不过不影响
是部值得看的好片~~

女主角就是《诸神之战》里的爱娃姐姐 怪不得老觉得眼熟

在绑架Alice的破屋子里，Danny去开车时，Vic从Alice口中知道了Danny骗了他，问Alice为什么还继续演戏，然后不等回答，自言自语地说，“因为他答应把钱分给你一份。”
我的问题是，Alice本来就是富家女，并且是独生女，Vic又不认识她，怎知道她爸爸不给她钱？怎知道Alice也想分钱？

这部电影出场人物一共3个，场景也没几个，人物的心理活动也多，其实很适合演话剧。 一次简单的绑架充分展示了人性的复杂。心狠手辣的绑架头子临死前用尽最后的气力帮助自己刚才还想杀死的女子逃走。绑架小弟为了钱伙同别人绑架了自己的女友，但是心里又放不下她，舍不得杀她。被绑架的富家女，2次试图迷惑绑架他的男友以求逃跑均告失败，最后两个绑架犯都死了，她一开始为自己的遭遇和男友的死而哭泣，后来想到钱到她手里，又转悲为喜。从被绑架的时候就看的出来，富家女是个既坚强又精明的人。 ps:演绑架小弟Danny的颜值好，但是身材一般，还是不露的好。

编剧是个妙人。



开头是一个很普通的犯罪电影，从准备到实施，剪辑明快，一气呵成，没有一句废话。



后面层层抽丝拨茧，人物性格背景随着情节发展逐渐展现，而性格的暴露也进一步推动了情节的发展。虽然只有3个人，可是一点儿也不沉闷。



Jonny 是个穷小子，为了和富家女恋爱不惜铤而走险去绑架。但是在计划过程中，他和另一个绑匪之间的关系也产生了变化。而被绑架的人，爱丽丝也不是省油的灯。三个人，在两天之中较量智商和情商，结局随时都可以改变。这让我想起07年裘德洛和迈克尔凯恩德《足迹》，那部戏只有两个人，却也一直让人揪心到最后一刻。



这就是英国文学的博大精深之处。他们能用极优美的语言，描述平淡无奇的生活，他们也能在极小的格局里把人性之复杂表达的淋漓尽致。他们的电影里很少有好莱坞流水线出来的典型人物，可是每个人物又都个性鲜明，从很多意义上讲也是典型，只不过更细腻更丰富。



从表演上来讲，本片的三位和《足迹》那两位还是差距不小，但是也没有什么大纰漏。Jonny是3个人关系的核心，可是他可能是三位里最弱的，所以影片的高潮部分并不突出。美女真是好看，欧洲演员的献身精神非美国可比。
