新片duplicity

Post by karen » 2009-03-19 13:18

有谁新片duplicity对有期待? 我觉得美国甜心和BMW帅哥这搭配养眼,剧片只要别写得太糟糕就行。

Damn. I was determined NOT to see the big-mouthed "pretty woman," despite the cameo by Paul Giamatti, but I just heard the movie is written and directed by Tony Gilroy. Maybe I'll rent the DVD. Heng. :evil:

3 stars from Roger Ebert
Duplicity
Who can you trust, if
you can't trust yourself?

Release Date: 2009

Ebert Rating: ***

/ / / Mar 18, 2009

by Roger Ebert

Julia Roberts and Clive Owen generate fierce electricity in "Duplicity," but we (and they) don't know if it's romantic or wicked. They're Claire and Ray, government spies (she CIA, he M16) who meet on assignment in Dubai; she sleeps with him, then steals his secret documents. They both enter the private sector, working for the counterespionage departments of competing shampoo giants. At stake: The formula for a top-secret formula that, when revealed, does indeed seem to be worth the high-tech games being played to steal and protect it.

The movie resembles Mad magazine's "Spy vs. Spy" series, elevated to labyrinthine levels of complexity. Nothing is as it seems, or even as it seems to seem; triple-crosses are only the warm-up. What's consistent through all of the intrigues is the (certain) lust and (possible) love between them. The theory is, they'll scheme together to steal the formula, sell it in Switzerland, split millions and spend the rest of their lives spying on each other under the covers.

They're both such incurable operatives that neither one can trust the other. We're not even sure they trust themselves. They play an emotional cat-and-mouse game, cleverly scripted by director Tony Gilroy ("Michael Clayton") to reflect classic rom-coms; both actors seem to be channeling Cary Grant.

Claire and Ray seem to have hollow hearts. Can they, in their trade, sincerely love anyone? Knowing all the tricks, they know the other one knows them, too.

This removes some of the romantic risk from the story, replacing it with a plot so ingenious that at the end, we know more or less what happened, but mostly less. That's fun, but it deprives Roberts of her most winning note, which is lovability.

This isn't a two-hander; Gilroy uses his supporting cast for key roles. Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti play the two enemy soap tycoons, both consumed by desperate intensity. Carrie Preston steals a scene from Roberts with her hilarious role as a company travel agent who may have been seduced by Ray but bubbles over about how glad she is that it happened. Roberts is amusingly inscrutable as she listens.

"Duplicity" is entertaining, but the complexities of its plot keep it from being really involving: When nothing is as it seems, why care? The fun is in watching Roberts and Owen fencing with dialogue, keeping straight faces, trying to read each other's minds. That, and admiring the awesome technology that goes into corporate espionage. I don't understand why Wall Street executives deserve millions, but I can see why these two might. All the money they hope to steal, added together, wouldn't amount to an annual bonus for one of the bankruptcy masterminds.

前两月有部他的新片The international, 我觉得还不错。 看时有些奇怪这大片怎么拍得那么不"美国",片终后才看见原来是Tom Tykwer导演的。
反正帅哥有行,不脱衣服也值得看。

嗯,The international有点象007片子,异国风光+肌肉硬汉+跨国阴谋,但是比007好看多了。
帅哥不脱衣服也很好看,当然脱衣服更好。

我看了啦。 对话很clever虽然剧情没必要那么复杂。 帅哥没怎么脱衣服,最多裸了上半身下面用毛巾裹着,不过他和美国甜心很有化学,两人又是好演员,片子不错。

Note to Jun: Paul Giamatti was hilarious! He almost stole the show. I think it is worth for you to suffer through Julia Roberts. :-D

我周末看了<The International>,帅哥憔悴的面容,真让人心疼啊。出来之后我和某人都沾沾自喜,看来中国的生产力太厉害,基本垄断了小规模武器的市场。

电影还不错, 很低调的感觉。

我赶上潮流也看了,看得头昏脑涨,边看别和同伴嘀咕意大利罗马的小餐馆那幕,由于去年夏天在那狂迷路转了好几圈,路型好熟悉。。。那餐馆往前走走转左的小巷,有家不错吃PIZZA的店。

他们两个在表忠心,手机压在纸上,看得好别扭,宁愿他们不表白。

我很喜欢他们重逢以后的对话,美女装不认识,帅哥愤怒的控诉那段。太CUTE 了. 最后互相表忠心也挺可爱的。我看的时候觉得有点忒长了,最后发现他们没搞到钱又觉得前面表忠心表的好。安慰奖!

小K,他们为啥次次重复这样的“相认”桥段?幽默好玩吗?美女迟暮了,脸型和身材轮廓还挺禁得起长镜头,还是看得舒服。

帅锅嘛,严肃太多笑容太小。

这电影好,看完就看完了,没啥EMOTION INVOLVED. 不想看THE READER,让我心有戚戚然。

恩,在罗马是真的。在纽约是排练好了作秀的,知道别人肯定在窃听或者跟踪。他们是要装成合不来,好在中间合伙搞手脚但是不让别人怀疑他们合伙啊。

这片子本来就是娱乐嘛,看的心情HIGH 一下,完就不多想了.本来就不打算involve. 我一听reader,revolution road的主要情节连进电影院的胃口都没有了。too much commitment.

我同意KAREN的话,Tony Gilroy 的重逢对白好精彩,可惜英文不好记性不好,不记得。

朋友推荐我去看,又在谷里看到此贴,抱着等同看电影Mr.& Mrs SMITH情节的心态去进的电影院,期望有007的异国风情(比如在威尼斯的爆破),结果才失望来着。幸好有帅锅和美女,挺喜欢他们半裸在法国酒店辩论那幕的。结局在大酒店喝香槟那幕也不错,JULIA好潇洒。

有点不值得在大电影院来看。我爱在特大银幕看动作片,低频率大功率的爆破声让我血液贲张,我有职业病!

:speechless002:

凡是煽情发人思考的电影在躲在家里窝着看 :party003: 打死不要哭在外面。对,我承认,THE READER让我哭了。

小K看过 Body of Lies 吧?这片儿刚出来的时候我完全没兴趣,但是今天在店里看见 DVD,忽然有点熟悉感,拿起来一看盒子,哇,差点大叫出声。我看过,不,听过这本小说的!! 是华盛顿邮报常驻中东的资深记者 David Ignatius 写着玩儿的惊险小说。小说本身还算 so-so 啦,有很多有真实感的细节,但是写人物就比较的 bland, 干巴巴的没什么个性。

政治上 Ignatius 算是中间派,没有特别强烈的立场,稍微有一点偏左。因为他对中东的历史和背景之类了解很多,对美国在中东的政策也很熟悉,有些技术内容还有点意思。小说里面很小心地不站在任何一边,既没有同情恐怖分子,也没有太美化西方间谍,采取比较 matter of fact 的口吻进行描述。不过他会流露出一些对阿拉伯社会规则和文化的强烈兴趣,有点“神秘的东方” vs 愚蠢自大的西方势力这种类型的感慨,一方面有意思,一方面仍是殖民主义传统。

DVD 还没看,不过看简介好像把小说里一个极其重要的成分给砍了,整个调子似乎改得很西方化,俗套了。最让人哭笑不得的是书里一个很重要的人物。约旦情报局的传奇式领导,是个意大利演员演的, Ignatius 大概很郁闷啦。而且美、约两边的领导都年纪不对头,在小说里,他们俩象征了男主角的父亲地位,这个微妙的含义(也许作者都不是有意识地这么设计,但效果就很明显),显然 Ridley Scott 根本就没明白。
