之前我在Totalflim.com上讀到一篇文章,關於動作片的十大老梗,這次看Skyfall空降危機的時候發現我可以毫無壓力的帶入其中幾項,所以現在來做個整理,看看Skyfall有幾點符合。

還有請原諒我的不負責翻譯,有些東西還是原文來的帶勁;而有些東西就是要那樣翻才帶勁;還有些東西是怎麼翻都不帶勁。



10. Explosion? What Explosion?

The Cliché: A true badass doesn't blanche in the face of an explosion. He doesn't even bother looking at them. Instead, he simply strolls away, letting the heat of the blaze gently singe his neck hair as he stares into the middle distance. Flinching? Flinching's for pussies…

10.爆炸?什麼爆炸?

老梗:一個真正的badass才不會因為爆炸而臉色慘白。他根本不費事去看他們。相反的,他僅僅是漫步離開,讓火焰的熱氣在他眺望遠景時輕微的灼燒他頸上的細毛。畏縮?畏縮是娘們做的事。

我們的龐德老兄還算是個正常人,他在爆炸中還是有做出閃躲的動作,但是他從怪手跳進火車時的那段戲跟這個道裡有異曲同工之妙,他就僅是整整他帥氣的西裝,不顧肩上的槍傷以及背後消失的火車車廂,萬分瀟灑得繼續追壞人。所以這點我想起碼得了0.5分。

另外,說到這個老梗就不得不提到2009MTV電影大獎上Andy Samberg Will Ferrell合唱的cool guys don't look at explosion,亮點還是JJ Abramskeyboard solo。相信很多人都看過了,但不影響我們再次來出來欣賞並大笑一場。

  

 

9. He's Mine

The Cliché: Despite being ruthless murderers, a lot of action movie villains are surprisingly sentimental when it comes down to it. How else to explain their obsessive need to be the one who fires the bullet that kills the hero? Despite having billions of dollars / world domination within their sights, most of them will risk it all just to ensure the hero gets a poetic send-off at their own hand. What price a little perspective?

9.他是我的

老梗:儘管身為心狠手辣的兇手。當最後總結的時候,許多的動作片壞蛋令人驚訝的感性。不然如何解釋他們強迫症般去當將子彈射進英雄那個人的需求?儘管擁有數十億元 / 統治世界就要成功在望,他們多數人依然冒這個險來保證主角從他們手中得到詩意似的死法。多麼有代價的一個看法?

這點龐德電影得了個扎實的1分,Javier演的Silva整部片的重點就是手刃M,處心積慮多年,所有製造出的危機就只為了這件事,他甚至大喊了一句”She is MINE!”。就像我另一篇網誌提到的,很明顯這是個私人恩怨,只是剛好牽扯到Bond而已。


8.Double-Tap

The Cliché: That bad guy you shot five times before throwing him over a cliffside… are you absolutely, one hundred per cent sure that he's dead? Were you careful to put a bullet in his head, just to be on the safe side? Or are you just going to trust to the notion that nobody could have survived an onslaught like that? Well more fool you, because in an action movie, they're not dead. They're pissed…

8.這個有點難翻成二次打擊?

老梗:那個在你丟下懸崖前打了五槍的壞人你絕對、百分之百確定他死了?還是你就為了保險起見,還小心的在他頭上補了一槍?還是你就要相信那個沒人可以活過那樣的衝擊的概念?你還真好騙,因為在動作片裡,他們沒有死。他們被惹毛了

喔,感謝老天。Skyfall裡沒出現這種橋段,不然編劇會被我抓出來往死裡打。讓我想想第一個baddy被拋下大樓,明顯沒有裝備降落傘,死了。中間賭場那幾個,被科摩多龍叼回家那個即使沒死也沒再出來惹麻煩,很好。最終大壞蛋也死得很徹底,雖然他還有時間轉回頭做出我不敢相信…”的表情,然後又聽完Bond的最後一隻老鼠宣言才死掉。

等等…Bond?他才是片中扮演那個怎麼都死不了那個,身體最少被打了兩個洞,從橋上掉進水裡,還被瀑布沖刷進下方深淵,接下來我們看到他的時候正忙著把一個正妹往牆上貼。但有鑑於這個老梗他特指的是壞人部分,所以我只能給它一個虛虛的0.5分,不然他徹底的有到達條件。

 

7. Too Old For This Shit

The Cliché: Many action movies (particularly later entries in various franchises) persist in putting their leading men through all manner of physical trials, despite their advancing years. Cue an onslaught of bitter, craggy-faced grumbling about how such antics aren't becoming of a man of their years. Put simply, they're too damn old for this shit.

7.玩這個鬼東西我太老了

老梗:不顧他們增進的年歲,許多動作片(尤其近年來的許多系列)持續的將他們的主角放置於一系列的體能磨難中。帶著扭曲的臉龐抱怨著這年紀的人不該做這些滑稽的事,暗示著衝擊帶來的痛苦。簡單來說,他們以玩這些鬼東西來說該死的太老了。

中年危機,一樣上一篇有提到。他們對龐德有這樣的質疑,他的體能項目的確沒有過關,在吊電梯時也有手力不足的情形,而獵場老管理人的動作之蹣跚的令人擔心,不過總結來說,龐德還是如此的帥氣俐落,恩,畢竟續集是要繼續拍下去的。那就給他0.5分吧!

 

6. Save The Villain

The Cliché: Despite going hammer and tongs at each other for the majority of the movie, and despite the many, many rounds of ammunition spent on seemingly trying to kill each other, if the villain finds himself in a prone position (hanging off the side of a building is the most popular scenario), the hero will almost always attempt to save his nemesis. Make up your damn mind, can't you?

老梗:儘管在多數的電影時間裡對彼此全力以赴,又儘管試著在很多、很多輪子彈後殺死對方,如果反派身處劣勢(最受歡迎的情況是掛在大樓邊),英雄多數時間總是嘗試拯救他的敵人。下那該死的決心,行嗎?

又是個扎實的1分,扎實的原因是因為他正中最受歡迎排行榜第一名情景”-吊掛在大樓邊,雖然他救他的原因不外乎是需要張會呼吸的嘴巴來回答他的問題,不過沒關係,這個死了永遠有下一個,而且下一個正多了。


5. Just A Flesh Wound

The Cliché: In an action movie, taking a bullet anywhere but the face or groin can be born with little more than a mild limp and the obligatory, "it's just a flesh wound", made through heroically gritted teeth. Bad guy bullets will always miss a major artery, and a stab wound can usually be shaken off by a spot of light jogging.

5.不過是個皮肉傷

老梗:在動作片中,除了在臉上跟鼠蹊部外,不論子彈打到哪裡都可以用一點小跛腳跟應盡義務來忍受。透過英勇的咬牙這些就不過是個皮肉傷罷了。壞人的子彈永遠都會錯過主要動脈,而刀傷能透過稍微晃一晃身體就忽略掉。

是啊!這嚴格說不能算老梗吧?這已經可以算是動作片的基石了。沒有這些我們的主角會在電影開頭前十分鐘就上救護車送醫急救。所以,1分絕對是有的。情節有哪些?我可以說整部片嗎?

*不就是挖出身體裡殘餘的彈片嗎?自己來就好,特工教學第一期就教了。

4. Backstabbing Wimp

The Cliché: Whilst the brave, burly action man is risking his neck for the forces of good, there's always a snivelling coward waiting to sell him out at the first opportunity. Said coward is almost always physically inferior to the hero, a telltale indication of a rotten apple…

4.背後捅人的懦夫

老梗:當英勇魁梧的英雄冒死為了善良而戰時,總是會有個哭哭啼啼的懦夫一等到機會就把他出賣。懦夫總是在身體狀況上不如英雄,一個証明爛蘋果的跡象

這不但是個老梗還是個糟糕的刻板印象,絕對的偏見!如果是這樣的話,美國隊長就演不下去了,打增胸激素前的Steve Rogers是這麼的小一隻,不一樣是個英雄?(喔,不。我其實不愛那部片真的令人失望。)

回到Bond電影上,不會啊!Q很棒,Q很乖,Q很厲害。他哪有做錯什麼事哪有

這題0分!

*只是插花硬要放照片而已。Ben的臉型真的很奇妙。

3. Eurotrash

The Cliché: Whilst the hero will inevitably be as American as apple pie (even if they're played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), an action movie's chief antagonist will almost always be of European extraction. Said villain will preferably be played by an English actor, with facial hair an added bonus. Alan Rickman in Die Hard is the ultimate…

3.我笑了,這怎麼翻啊?歐洲垃圾?我喜歡英文版,簡潔有力!EUROTRASH

老梗:當英雄無法避免得是個美國派時(即使他是由阿諾扮演),一部動作片中主要的反面人物幾乎都是歐洲血統。最好是由英國演員扮演,有鬍子還加分。Alan Rickman在終極警探中是最好的例子。

我不是很確定Silva的背景,我是說他很明顯長得不像英國人啊!腔調也不對。不過他是在香港分部工作的,他來自哪裡似乎不重要。而且要在英國情報局工作,他應該就是英國人,不然最多算雇傭兵而已。對吧?那麼基於這點,恭喜龐德電影再得1分。

讓我們好好分析這一點,這很有趣,雖然近年好萊塢挑選惡棍角色的範圍有大幅的向中東和亞洲延伸,例如鋼鐵人1跟致命武器4,但是歐洲壞蛋對他們來說仍是好菜一盤,這個問題不斷得被問起-“為什麼他們老是找英國人演壞人?,我認為答案很簡單因為演壞人有挑戰性,需要演技。重點不是演的壞而已,演的壞很簡單。重點是這個壞人在你咬牙切齒之餘還能因為他背後的故事為他滴下一滴難過的淚水。為什麼我們這麼愛石內卜(他算被迫的壞人吧?)?為什麼Loki能大肆破壞紐約後還得人疼,大家殷切期盼Thor2能把他洗白?因為他們是英國人啊!

2. Plans For The Future

The Cliché: The veteran cop with one more day before retirement, the likeable thief tempted into one final job, the loveable sidekick fawning over a wallet-sized photograph of his wife and kids… all of them are doomed, thanks to their foolhardy attempts to plan for a life beyond the film's running time. Any time a life outside shooting things is brought into the equation, expect the character in question to buy it, sooner rather than later.

老梗:經驗豐富的警察在退休前的一天,一個討喜的小偷試圖進行他的最後一票,一個對著他妻兒的皮夾照片皺眉的可愛跟班由於他們愚蠢的嘗試計劃一個超出影片時間的生活,他們全都沒戲唱了。任何時候一個拍攝時間外出現的生活被帶入等式中,期望猶豫的角色對它買單的話,還是早買早好。(對不起!這段我不知道我在翻什麼?我希望你們理解,嗚嗚嗚。)

恩,龐德電影還要在繼續拍下去,所以嚴格來說他並沒有什麼退休前一天發生的問題,所以我想這題也是0分。不要提起M,我心口的那個傷都還來不及結痂,就別請戳它了。

 

1. Talking Trash

The Cliché: Trash talk is the prerogative of any action hero worthy of the name. If they're feeling particularly flash, they'll dole out an apposite one-liner before putting the villain to bed, although there's nothing in the rulebook that prevents our designated badass from giving a bit of verbal to an unhearing corpse...

1.說垃圾話

老梗:垃圾話是任何名符其實英雄的特權。雖然規則表裡沒禁止我們欽定的小壞蛋(這裡是指我們的英雄)對一具聽不見的屍體說點俏皮話,如果他們特別得感到想炫耀,他們會在放倒惡棍前丟出一句洽當的台詞。

雖然這一段多是指現在重出江湖的前州長,但我們的Bond的確有做這件事,他提醒了Silva他之前說過的故事” last rat standing.”,不長不短只有三個字,足夠壞人撐到聽完最後一個字再死,也許還有時間在腦海裡跑過”Ironic, Ha ha….”,極有可能是他一邊跑向教堂一邊想出來的,是我的話一定還會因為我的witty而偷笑,所以這邊又讓龐德得了1分。

 

現在總計結果10分裡,Skyfall得到了6.5分,也許是個機會證明它是部成功的動作片?因為該有的老梗都差不多湊齊了,觀眾在預期心理下都很好得被滿足到,也不會太多讓它直接變成金酸莓。所以依照這個測試結果下來,我認為以一部動作片來說,他有90分。真的,如果十項全都集到的話,那我會懷疑編劇是Wayans兄弟,而片名實際叫”Action Movie”

 

另外,我覺得它有一個經典老梗沒有寫到,我要幫他加一個。

11. Cliff-hanger

The Cliché: It doesn’t matter if you are the goody or the baddy, as long as people show up next to the edge, someone is gonna hanging there. It could be a cliff, a tall building, a famous landmark, or on the chopper. There’s always someone to help out our beloved hero, and the villain always falls.

 

Examples Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible - ghost protocol. I guess that will be the most exciting experience an actor can ever had. How about Cap. James T. Krik in Star Trek(2009), I said he was hanging somewhere in that movie for at least three times, He just won’t let go. Ha ha. What Spiderman does the best is hanging there, it’s basically his way of transportation. And Cliff hanger is in every mountain-climbing movie. Remember Stallon? He got a movie just call Cliffhanger.

 

If It Was Real Life: Have you seen the mythbuster? YOU FALL! That’s it.

 

我就不多翻了,反正我這種簡單英文你們也看得懂。

以上。
