先告诉大家一个悲伤的消息!
大家非常熟悉的第二代蜘蛛侠的扮演者安德鲁·加菲尔德(Andrew Garfield)近日宣布暂时息影。
Right now, I’m tired and I’m gonna take a beat to rest and to be a person, even though it’s tempting to work, because I love working.
尽管我很爱工作,工作很吸引我,但现在我累了,我想休息一下,享受自在的生活。
Sometimes you have to take a moment and refill the well, and then come back and have energy to give some more. Maybe I’m just getting older and I need to rest more. I’m almost 40!
有时候你必须花一点时间给自己充充电,然后才能回来输出更多的能量。也许我只是变老了,我需要多休息。我都快40岁了!
他主演了《塔米·菲的眼睛》《倒数时刻》两部电影,并且凭借《倒数时刻》获得了金球奖最佳男主角,以及第二次的奥斯卡最佳男主角提名。
可惜最后败给了主演《国王理查德》的威尔·史密斯。但是在很多观众心目中,加菲的演技足以配得上小金人。
好在他只是暂时的休息,并非完全退出演员的工作,影迷们无需太过担心。
而他暂别演艺圈之前的最后一部影视作品《天堂旗帜下》(Under the Banner of Heaven)目前也已经上映,大家可以追起来。
加菲饰演的Jeb Pyre,是盐湖城当地一名警探,同时也是一名虔诚的摩门教(耶稣基督后期圣徒教会)信徒。
在一次执勤中,他目睹了一对年轻母女被杀害的残忍现场。女方叫Brenda,由黛西·埃德加-琼斯(Daisy Edgar-Jones),和她一起倒在血泊中的婴儿只有15个月大。
黛西之前出演过《普通人》《新鲜》等剧,想了解更多她的故事请戳:撞脸安妮·海瑟薇,主演R级“吃人片”,这个95后神颜小仙女,终于要火了?
警方在房子附近捕获了一名浑身血迹斑斑的男人,他是拉菲蒂家族最小的儿子Allen,也是死者的丈夫,被列为此案的头号嫌疑人。
随着调查的展开,Jeb发现真相越来越超过他的设想,他所信仰的摩门教,遭受了严重的信仰危机。
原来Brenda和Allen都来自信仰摩门教的家庭,而Allen的家庭更加守旧,他家一共有六个儿子,Allen排行老幺。
而他们的父亲为人严苛,实行大家长式的铁腕教育,曾通过亲手打死一只小狗来训诫孩子们,在他的教育下,兄弟们崇尚用暴力手段解决问题维护家族利益。
Headed up by imposing patriarch Ammon (Christopher Heyerdahl), the Laffertys’ particular brand of devout Mormonism curdled into a sinister ruthlessness that pit their many sons, convinced they were capital Chosen, against the world.
拉菲蒂家族以强势的族长阿蒙(克里斯托弗·赫耶达尔饰)为首,全族虔诚地信仰着摩门教,凝结成一种冷酷无情的邪恶心理,许多人坚信自己是被上帝选中的,与世界对抗。
当Brenda第一次上门探望Allen一家时,表面上和谐而平静,实则暗流涌动,他们中很多人都看不惯Brenda的某些举动。因为她看起来不是那么顺从,有个性有活力,不会无限制地屈服于男性的权威。
Through flashbacks, viewers get to know the ambitious and outspoken Brenda, who dreamed of working as a news anchor and having a family.
通过闪回,观众们认识了雄心勃勃、直言不讳的布伦达,她梦想着成为一名新闻主播,并组建幸福的家庭。
Brenda wanted a career as well as a family, which put her at odds with the Laffertys, who believe wives should stay home and remain subservient to their husbands.
布伦达想要事业和家庭,这让她与拉菲蒂夫妇产生了分歧,拉菲蒂夫妇认为妻子就应该呆在家里,对丈夫言听计从。
而丈夫Allen早在与Brenda准备结婚的阶段,就开始挣扎在对家族的忠诚和对Brenda的爱之间。
Brenda和女儿的惨死令人心碎,而更残忍的是,这并非只是影视虚构,而是真真切切发生在现实生活中的真实案件。
1984年7月24日,拉菲蒂家族中的极端分子,狠狠殴打了那对可怜的母女,直到她们失去知觉,然后将她们残忍杀害。尽管后来凶手都进了死囚区,但他们仍对杀人事件毫不后悔。
The case has been a staple of pop culture since Jon Krakauer’s 2003 book Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith.
自从乔恩·克拉考尔2003年出版了《在天堂的旗帜下:暴力信仰的故事》以来,这个案件就成了流行文化的主题。
The book’s thesis was, in Krakauer’s intentionally ominous words, that the crime’s roots “lie deep in the history of an American religion practiced by millions.”
用克拉考尔的话来说,这本书的主题是这起犯罪“深深植根于数百万人信奉的美国宗教的历史之中。”
由于涉及宗教和凶杀,整部剧的氛围会比较沉重压抑,但是放心,并没有过于血腥残忍的场面,一切都靠加菲饰演的Jeb警探用眼神传达。
When Pyre is called to the murder scene, we see blood flooding the floor of the kitchen where Brenda was killed. But all we see of the baby's death is the agonised expression on Pyre's face when he opens the nursery door.
当皮雷被叫到谋杀现场时,我们看到布伦达遇害的厨房地板上血迹斑斑。但是我们看不到婴儿的死亡场景,只能看到皮雷打开婴儿室的门时,他脸上痛苦的表情。
It's all we need. Garfield's sensitive performance is perfectly in tune with the series' tone, which avoids any lurid exploitation of the shocking details of the case.
这就是我们所需要的。加菲的细腻表演与该剧的基调完全一致,避免了对该案件的恶意利用和炒作。
加菲日益成熟的演技无疑是剧中最大的亮点之一。他饰演的饰演的Jeb警探,是温柔善良的丈夫和父亲,也是恪尽职守的警探。面对曾经笃定的信仰,他又充满了彷徨失措,展现出人物内心的挣扎。
Garfield shoulders much of the show’s emotional burden as Jeb, a kind family man shattered by this slash of violence, finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about the Mormon faith he holds so dear.
加菲(饰演杰布)承担了该剧的大部分情感戏份,这是一个被暴力击垮的善良男子,发现自己对他所珍视的摩门教信仰提出了质疑。
He and his wife (Adelaide Clemens) have a genuine, loving marriage that they both credit to the church, and two young daughters ready to join.
他和妻子(阿德莱德·克莱门斯饰)有一段真挚且幸福的婚姻,他们都把这归功于教会,还有两个准备加入摩门教的女儿。
"The journey that Jeb goes on is a journey of expansion, coming from a very narrow worldview into a psyche, cracking open and realizing that he's been living in a form of ignorance and brainwashing for all of his life," says Garfield, 38. "He was born into this religion, basically."
38岁的加菲说:“杰布的旅程是一个不断扩张的旅程,从一个非常狭隘的世界观中逐渐清醒,并意识到他一生都生活在一种无知和洗脑的形式中。”“可以说他出生在这个宗教里。”
He went to Utah on his own to meet with a range of Mormon folks and came away with convictions that strengthened the series. “He asked questions that put pressure on the script in ways that turned it into steel, that refined it,” Black says. “And he’s continued to do that all the way through post.” The resulting finale, Black tells me, is a product of Garfield’s contributions.
他独自去了犹他州,见了很多摩门教徒,并带着坚定的信念离开了。“他问了一些问题,这些问题让剧本更加可信、更加严密,”布莱克说。“他一直通过写信在这样做。”布莱克告诉我,最终的结局是加菲的想法。
In the first five episodes made available for critics, Black’s “Under the Banner of Heaven” can sometimes feel like it’s overflowing with almost too much to say at the same time that it repeatedly hammers home established themes and character beats.
在可以看到的前五集里,布莱克的《在天堂的旗帜下》有时会让人觉得有太多要说的东西,同时又反复强调既定的主题和人物节奏。
Religion is not only a source for good—it can also be deadly. “Under the Banner of Heaven” picks at this problem imperfectly, but the problem is real.
宗教不仅是善的源泉,也可能是致命的。《在天堂的旗帜下》对这个问题的处理并不完美,但这个问题是真实存在的。
“But the truth will have its way with you no matter what and I think that's one of the great themes with this story is that the truth always comes out, it always catches up.”
“但无论如何,真相总会在你身边,我认为这是这个故事的一个伟大主题,真相总会大白于天下。”
总的来说,这是一部值得一看的美剧,而加菲也贡献了极高的演技,希望他在好好休息后,能早日为我们带来更多好的作品。
