女人總歸是女人,世人用成就來衡量男性,對于女人呢,是用快樂、幸福、滿足…這些匪夷所思的非理性指標(biāo)來看待她。
所以就像歌里面唱的:我知道我要去哪里。我知道誰將伴我同行。我也知道哪個是我傾心。但是天曉得將來我要嫁誰……
女人從小就在計劃那事,為那事?lián)?,因為這個她要一生經(jīng)營的事業(yè)居然是完全不能確定,幾乎要聽天由命的。
電影里頭Wendy Hiller演的這個女孩子,其實真的好叫我喜歡,她想干什么就立馬行動,根本不太在乎別人的偏見。
所以電影一開頭,就看到她從小特立獨行,看到她遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)拋開那些愚蠢的女同學(xué),最后又看到她躊躇滿志地通知老父——她馬上要下嫁全國最有錢的人,一個年紀(jì)大她好多的中年實業(yè)家。
難能可貴,她真的是想好了怎么做對自己最有利,她不會做有事業(yè)沒家庭的孤獨女強人,她也不會光為了錢跟自己討厭的人結(jié)婚,她完全是出于自己照料自己的決心,理性聰明地規(guī)劃好一切,并且堅定地實現(xiàn)。
于是,Joan小姐像安排自己的人生一樣,詳盡地計劃好旅程,自信滿滿地一個人帶了婚紗與行李,搭火車準(zhǔn)備去某個蘇格蘭海島與富翁成婚。
盡管…
Joan Webster,韋小姐瓊,從小就是個爭強好勝的,凡事有主見,長得也很有主見。二十五歲時,瓊決心要嫁一富翁,一個年紀(jì)可以做她爹的化工實業(yè)老板。老板在蘇格蘭西部擁有一個島嶼,韋小姐安排了行程,從曼徹斯特火車輪船日夜兼程,趕到島上去嫁他。趕到蘇格蘭海邊遇上了風(fēng)暴,把她困在了Tobermory鎮(zhèn)。鎮(zhèn)上居民熱情質(zhì)樸,使心高氣傲的韋小姐覺得有點不自在,她還遇到一個回家探親的海軍上校,上校和她一來二去便熟識了。天氣陰晴不定,瓊每天都想渡海,鎮(zhèn)上人攔都攔不住,終于給她硬行搶渡,差點船毀人亡,落湯雞似的回來。最后天晴了,瓊卻放棄了渡海。
著名的Archers——鮑威爾和普萊斯伯格二人組的作品。和《紅菱艷》不同,這是浪漫喜劇,故事橋段無新意,結(jié)局也可預(yù)料,但過程出乎意料。并且營造了極具感染力的氣場,使蘇格蘭Tobermory鎮(zhèn)成為角色之一。我欣賞黑白畫面,他們把水和浪拍得極好。尤其大漩渦的場面,可謂驚心動魄,讓人難以置信那是四十年代的作品。開場不久,從霧中走出來的牧羊女,逆光對話的船家,也都是神來之筆。鮑威爾和普萊斯伯格的人物,多…
#DVD 整體節(jié)奏好快,開場幾句宿命論般的旁白和女主童年經(jīng)歷+演職人員表畫面結(jié)合就把女主的性格交代清楚了。后續(xù)的火車轉(zhuǎn)輪船轉(zhuǎn)汽車總讓我想起血與冰激凌中的那個比較出名的轉(zhuǎn)場。男主則一樣帶著宿命出場,整部電影的宿命感好強,結(jié)尾這部分算收的不錯,風(fēng)笛手,女主的宿命,男主的詛咒。
未婚夫與男主似乎對照著新資本與舊貴族,“Money isn't everything”,這么看影片似乎也呈現(xiàn)了另一種《百戰(zhàn)將軍》,只是這結(jié)尾還是不咋喜歡,有種失去了“我走我路”的感覺(畢竟還是時代的局限性)
If he shall ever cross the thresholdof moy
年少時他跨過了這扇門,
Never shall he leave it a free man
自由則再無可能。
He shall be chained to a woman
一個女子會成為他身上的枷鎖,
To the end of his day
詛咒至死無改,
And shall die in his chained
終其一生鎖鏈加身。

《我走我路》是邁克爾·鮑威爾個人第二部在弓箭手公司創(chuàng)作的電影。在《坎特伯雷故事》在市場與評論界雙雙遇冷后,邁克爾·鮑威爾本想推出弓箭手公司的第一部特藝彩色作品《平步青云》
One of the finest romantic films ever made (名副其實!), I Know Where I’m Going tells the story of Joan Webster (the great Dame Wendy Hiller), a middle-class English girl willing to do anything to move up in the world. As with Colonel Blimp, the film’s themes are specifically rooted in English identity—in this case, the British obsession with social class. When Joan is on her way to marry a wealthy industrialist on his private Scottish isle of Kiloran, a storm hits, trapping her on the Isle of Mull. There she meets a naval officer returning from the war (Livesey again), and an attraction forms between the two.
This may sound like it conforms to the traditional romantic-comedy cliches, but I Know Where I'm Going has a lot more on its mind than your average Meg Ryan movie. This is a serious picture, saturated with myth and superstition, and containing some of Michael Powell’s most i…

The Archers' (Powell and Pressburger) b&w “never-too-late-to-meet-the-right-one” romance, shot during wartime, just prior to their foray into Technicolor. In the center stage of it is a middle-class English woman Joan Webster (Hiller), accentuated by the titular motto, she is a headstrong city gal, endowed with a limpid mind, and always knows what she wants ever since she is a little girl (re…
