《阿凡達》重奪影史最暢銷寶座
賣座大片《阿凡達》在中國重新上映後,近日又重奪全球票房冠軍寶座。
這部科幻史詩大片於2009年首映,佔據全球票房冠軍寶座長達十年,直到2019年被漫威的《復仇者聯盟4:終局之戰》超車。
《阿凡達》在中國這個全球最大的電影市場重新上映後,上週末該片的全球票房突破了28億美元。
自從全世界都實施疫情封鎖之後,中國電影市場的表現一直是全球最佳。
發行方迪士尼公司稱,James Cameron導演的《阿凡達》光是上週五(3月12日)一天就創下400萬美元票房,超越了《復仇者聯盟4:終局之戰》。
2019年迪士尼從福斯收購娛樂資產後,這兩部電影就歸迪士尼所有了。在賣座電影排行榜上排名第三的《鐵達尼號》如今也屬於迪士尼公司。
2019年《復仇者聯盟4:終局之戰》票房超過《阿凡達》後,Cameron在推特上發了一張復仇者聯盟中鋼鐵人站在《阿凡達》裡虛構的潘朵拉星球上的圖片,並附上了賀詞。
眼下Cameron正在製作《阿凡達》的四部續集。下一部《阿凡達》電影目前計畫在2022年12月上映,此前已被推遲多次。
《阿凡達》製作人Jon Landau稱:「這個里程碑式的成就讓我們感到很驕傲,不過,吉姆(詹姆斯•柯麥隆)和我最興奮的是,在這一史無前例的時刻,這部電影又重新在影院上映。我們想感謝中國粉絲對《阿凡達》的支持。」
自從疫情迫使影院關閉後,中國電影院如今已經開放了數個月,該國本土電影甚至迎來了有史以來最火爆的票房。在中國重映前,《阿凡達》在美國收穫了約7.6億美元票房,全球票房也勉強超過20億美元。

《黑暗對峙》演員精彩外,只是個愛國主義歷史故事
都是前英國首相卡梅倫闖的禍,為了兌現競選承諾,他在2016年6月舉辦了一次脫歐公投,如意算盤是英國民眾會選擇留歐,但事與願違,公投結果是脫歐派獲勝,他因此在同年10月辭去首相職務,據BBC中文網2017年12月的報導,目前他加入了一間和「一帶一路」有關的英國公司,居然和前特首梁振英同行,世事認真難料!
脫歐令到英國的處境空前地孤立,尤其在歐洲,德、法兩國已揚言要重罰英國,面對就業機會將會大量流失,民眾亦分裂成兩派,而更嚴重的憂慮是蘇格蘭會再次獨立公投,與及倫敦失去金融中心的地位,整個英國的士氣低落,可想而之。
這個背景下,英國在2017年推出了三齣充滿愛國主義的電影,包括《編寫美好時光Their Finest》,由在英國發展的丹麥女導演Lone Scherfig執導,,製作單位是BBC,《鄧寇克大行動Dunkirk》,由著名英國導演Christopher Nolan執導,製片商也是英國公司Syncopy Inc,而最後一齣便是《黑暗對峙Darkest Hour》,導演Joe Wright 當然也是英國人,而製作單位是英國的Working Title Films 和國內的萬達媒體。這三套電影都是以二次大戰初,三十多萬英軍成功由法國的鄧寇克海灘撤退為背景,最重要的作用是團結英國民眾,振奮士氣,希望全國齊心面對未來逆境。
《編》開宗明義講鄧寇克撤退之後,英國不斷受到德軍空襲,民眾士氣低落,政府要開合一些符合「真實・樂觀」原則的愛國電影,鼓勵士氣。《鄧》片是應用這些原則拍成的愛國電影,鄧寇克海灘上的英軍井井有條地撤退,沒有任何屍橫片野,有辱英軍面子的畫面,英國人民團結自發,駕船去拯救英軍是全戲重點,另外當然是Tom Hardy這位代表英國空軍英雄形象的角色,整個撤退成功的功勞,歸功於士兵民眾上下一心,對於四萬法軍為英軍死守,爭取時間,與及德國軍隊突然謎一般停火48小時,這些重要史實,隻字不提。
《黑暗對峙》這個故事,也是以鄧寇克撤退為背景,以邱吉爾三篇重要演講作重點,講述他臨危受命,接替一直主張和德國議和的張伯倫首相,領導英國對抗德國,但邱吉爾本人經常酗酒,雪茄不離口,善變兼喜怒無常,保守黨的領導層不喜歡他,甚至國王也不信任他,而當時以張伯倫為首的主和派,藉著鄧寇克事件,英國可能失去主要軍力,去迫邱吉爾接受他們的和談,同意德國屈辱條款的主張,若邱拒絕便迫他下台,面對這種種困難,邱吉爾如何獨排眾議,率領國民反抗到底。由於是歷史事實,結局如何大家已經一清二楚了。
和梅麗史翠普透過飾演載卓爾夫人奪得奧斯卡最佳女主角一樣,這齣戲的最大功用之一是幫Gary Oldman在金球獎奪得影帝和之後的奧斯卡爭取影帝,出色的演技和一流的特技化妝,是這電影最大的看點,除了Gary Oldman外,飾演他太太的Dame Kristin Scott、女助手的Lily James、英皇的Ben Mendelsohn、對手主和派外交大臣Stephen Dillane 和飾演前首相的Ronald Pickup,都是好戲之人,這方面肯定值回票價。但是,和《鐵娘子-載卓爾夫人傳》一樣,這電影只是忠實交代歷史人物的故事,而沒有見到導演對這人物有任何評價,而他為何要拍這電影的目的亦十分明顯:愛國和團結英國人,像有段戲講邱吉爾去面對群眾,但其實人唔多,不過個個市民好像做緊「樣板戲」,個個都無懼德軍,誓死抵抗,感覺相當唔人性,宣傳味道濃。由於這個原故,所以在金球獎只有最佳男主角提名一項,相信奧斯卡也是一樣。
這三齣英倫愛國三部曲,《編》故事最好看,《鄧》場面、攝影最好看,《黑》演員最佳 ,都算是出色的愛國電影,但未算經典。

working title films 在 Daniel Wu Facebook 的最佳解答
The maestro himself Ringo Lam. When I entered the business in 1997 Ringo was one of the directors on my bucket list that I wanted to work with the most but he went into a semi retirement shortly thereafter. I thought I would never get a chance to work with the master who made such great films like City of Fire and Prison of Fire so I was very surprised when I got the call from him in 2013. We made a pact to work together in 2014 but a few months before shooting began I found out my Mom had terminal cancer so I had to pull out of the production. After my Mom passed, I returned to Hong Kong and received another call from Ringo. He still wanted to work with me. We met and talked about what I had just gone through. About life, death, faith and the meaning of it all. It slowly then evolved into the topic of Sky on Fire. I am very proud and honored to have worked with Ringo on this film and I am even more honored that he gave the film the title Sky on Fire linking this film to his previous classics. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with one of the best and now after working with him I now understand why. Thank you Ringo! #skyonfire #ringolam #autuer #maestro #hongkongcinema #hongkongfilm
