No.001 《The Artist》 艺术家 诗意而动人的音乐剧

英文导读

The Artist is a 2011 French romantic comedy-drama film in the style of a black-and-white silent film. The film was written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius and stars Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo. The story takes place in Hollywood, between 1927 and 1932; George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) is a silent movie superstar. The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), it seems the sky's the limit - major movie stardom awaits. "The Artist" focuses on the relationship of an older silent film star and a rising young actress as silent cinema falls out of fashion and is replaced by the "talkies".

The Artist received strongly positive reviews from critics and won many accolades. Dujardin won the Best Actor Award at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, where the film premiered. The film was nominated for six Golden Globes, the most of any 2011 film, and won three: Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Original Score, and Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for Dujardin. In January 2012, the film was nominated for twelve BAFTAs, also the most of any film from 2011, and won seven, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Hazanavicius, and Best Actor for Dujardin.

It was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won five, including Best Picture, Best Director for Hazanavicius, and Best Actor for Dujardin, who was the first French actor ever to win for Best Actor. It was the first French film to ever win Best Picture, and the first mainly silent film to win since 1927's Wings and Sunrise won best picture awards at the 1st Academy Awards in 1929. It was also the first film presented in the 4:3 aspect ratio to win since 1955's Marty, and the first black-and-white film to win since 1993's Schindler's List.

In France, it was nominated for ten César Awards, winning six, including Best Film, Best Director for Hazanavicius and Best Actress for Bejo. The Artist became the most awarded French film in history.

剧情简介

1927年,乔治·瓦伦丁(让·杜雅尔丹 饰)是默片的最佳男主角,才华洋溢,无人不识。每次他在舞台上,都会逗得观众捧腹大笑。一次,面对媒体采访,他无意中邂逅了一位表现欲超强的女子佩皮·米勒(贝热尼丝·贝乔 饰),尽管后者抢镜出风头,但是他还是儒雅以待。不过,这则头条新闻却压过了他的新戏,老板极为不满,老婆也醋性大发。

随着有声电影的崛起,逐渐取代了默片。默片逐渐被淘汰、遗忘,乔治纵然坚守信念,仍不敌无情的时代巨轮和喜欢追求新鲜感的观众。乔治后来与老板不和,决定自立门户,自编自导自演。与此同时,佩皮却借助有声电影的契机迅速蹿红,成为了首屈一指的明星。后来的经济大萧条,使得乔治和佩皮的身份地位大逆转,名望、金钱、自尊成了他们爱情路上的障碍。饱受挫折的乔治变得一蹶不振,但佩皮依然不离不弃,希望能助他东山再起。最终,他的默片与她的有声片档期撞车,一场新与旧、情感与票房的争夺战拉开了序幕……

制作花絮

影片中出现了很多经典电影的经典桥段,包括《一个明星的诞生》《雨中曲》等等。

片中乔治聪明伶俐的宠物狗杰克会令人联想起《丁丁历险记》中的米卢(白雪),这也是导演在向比利时漫画家埃尔热致敬。

重点学习

The Artist is a 2011 French romantic comedy-drama film in the style of a black-and-white silent film

我们都知道,style有“风格;时尚;类型”的意思,文中in the style of常用于口语表达中,是“风格(文体)”的意思,比如:The beauty of Venice consists largely in the style of its ancient buildings.(威尼斯的美很大程度上在于它那古代建筑的风格。)

The advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career

文中的death knell主要用于美语中,相当于passing bell,是“丧钟,事物完结的信号,死亡(或毁灭、终止)的前兆,任何预示将要失败的事情”的意思,比如:For some, GM's fall is the final death knell for America's labour aristocracy.(对于某些人来说,通用汽车的垮台为美国劳工贵族敲响了最后的丧钟。)
