百年50部英文烧脑电影赏析:[40]The Adventures of Tintin 丁丁历险记

Tintin（Jamie Bell）, a young journalist, and his dog Snowy are browsing in an outdoor market in a European town. Tintin buys a model of a three-masted sailing ship, the Unicorn, but is then immediately accosted by the sinister Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine（Daniel Craig）, and the mysterious figure of Barnaby（Joe Starr）, who both try to buy the model from Tintin, without success. Tintin takes the ship home, but it is broken during a fight between Snowy and a neighbour's cat. As it breaks, a parchment scroll slips out of the ship's mast. Snowy spots it but is unable to alert Tintin. Meanwhile, incompetent detectives Thomson and Thompson（Nick Frost and Simon Pegg）are on the trail of a pickpocket, Aristides Silk（Toby Jones）. Tintin visits Sakharine in Marlinspike Hall, where he learns that there are two model ships. Tintin puts the scroll in his wallet only to have his wallet stolen by Silk. Laer，Tintin is shot at, then abducted by accomplices of Sakharine, and imprisoned on the SS Karaboudjan. On board, Tintin escapes and meets the ship's nominal captain, Haddock（Andy Serkis）. Haddock has been supplied with whisky by first mate Allan（Daniel Mays）, who is working for Sakharine, and thus is permanently drunk, and unaware of the happenings on board his ship. Tintin, Haddock, and Snowy eventually escape from the Karaboudjan in a lifeboat. Sakharine sends a seaplane to find them, which the trio seize and use to fly towards the（fictitious）Moroccan port of Bagghar, but they crash in the desert.
Dehydrated in the heat, and suffering from a sudden lack of alcohol, Haddock hallucinates, and starts to remember stories about his ancestor, Sir Francis Haddock（Andy Serkis）, who was captain of the Unicorn during the 17th century. Sir Francis' treasure-laden ship was attacked by a pirate ship, led by the masked Red Rackham（DanieI Craig）, and, after a fierce battle and eventual surrender, Sir Francis chose to sink the Unicorn, and most of the treasure, rather than allow it to fall into Rackham's hands. It transpires that there were three models of the Unicorn, each containing a scroll. Together, the scrolls will reveal the location of the sunken Unicorn, and its treasure.
The third model ship is in Bagghar, in the possession of the wealthy Omar Ben Salaad（Gad Elmaleh）, but it is encased in a bullet-proof glass display case. Sakharine's plan is to stage a concert involving famous diva Bianca Castafiore（Kim Stengel）, the “Milanese nightingale”, whose penetrating singing voice will be able to shatter the glass case, allowing Sakharine's trained hawk to fly down and steal the third scroll. After a chase down to the harbour, pursued by Tintin and Haddock, Sakharine finally escapes with all three scrolls. Tintin chases him back to Europe and arranges a police reception for him on the dockside. Haddock and Sakharine, who is revealed to be the descendant of Red Rackham, replay their ancestors' swashbuckling sword fight, using dockside cranes, swords, and even bottles of whisky. Haddock is eventually victorious and Sakharine is promptly arrested by Thomson and Thompson.

With the three scrolls in their possession, Tintin and Haddock find that the indicated location is Marlinspike Hall, and that the hall had been built originally by Sir Francis Haddock. There, in the cellar, they find some of the treasure, and a clue to the location of the sunken Unicorn. Both men agree to continue the adventure.
一个年轻的记者丁丁（杰米·贝尔配音）正和他的狗斯诺伊在一个欧洲城镇里面逛露天市场。丁丁买了一艘三桅帆船独角兽号的模型，但是紧接着他就被阴险的伊凡·伊凡诺维奇·萨卡林（丹尼尔·克雷格配音）和神秘人物巴纳比（乔·斯塔尔配音）搭讪，他们两个人都想从丁丁手里买下模型，但是都没有成功。丁丁把船带回家，但是船在斯诺伊和邻居家的猫打架的过程中被弄坏了。当它折断的时候，一份卷着的羊皮纸从船的桅杆里面滑出来了。斯诺伊发现了它，但是并没能引起丁丁的注意。同时，不称职的侦探汤姆森和汤普森（尼克·弗罗斯特和西蒙·佩吉配音）正在追踪一个扒手阿里斯提戴斯·希尔克（托比·琼斯配音）。丁丁拜访了马林斯派克大厅的萨卡林，在那里他了解到有两个帆船模型。丁丁把卷轴放在他的钱包里面，结果他的钱包被希尔克偷了。
稍后，有人朝丁丁射击，接着又被萨卡林的同伙诱拐，囚禁在SS Karaboudjan号上。在船上，丁丁逃脱了并且遇到这艘船名义上的船长阿道克（安迪·瑟金斯配音）。大副艾伦（丹尼尔·梅斯配音）为萨卡林工作，不断给阿道克威士忌，因此阿道克永远是醉的，也不知道他的船上发生了什么。丁丁、阿道克和斯诺伊最终坐着救生船从Karaboudjan号上逃脱了。萨卡林派出一架水上飞机找他们，三人组夺下这架飞机并且乘坐这架飞机飞向巴格哈摩洛哥港（虚构的），但是他们在沙漠坠机了。
由于高温缺水并且突然没有酒精，阿道克出现了幻觉，并且开始回忆起他祖先弗朗西斯·阿道克爵士（安迪·瑟金斯配音）的故事。在17世纪的时候，弗朗西斯·阿道克是独角兽号的船长。弗朗西斯爵士满载着珍宝的船，被戴着面具的里德·拉克姆（丹尼尔·克雷格配音）领导的海盗船袭击了，经过激烈的战斗独角兽号最终投降了，弗朗西斯爵士宁可选择让独角兽号沉没，让大部分珠宝沉没，也不让它们落入拉克姆的手中。现在看来，一共有三个独角兽的模型，每一个里面包含一个卷轴。把它们拼到一起，就会指示沉没的独角兽号，以及宝藏的位置。 第三个帆船模型在巴格哈，由富有的奥马尔·本·塞拉德（盖得·艾玛勒配音）所拥有，但是它被包在一个有防弹玻璃的展览柜里面。萨卡林策划了一场有著名天后比安卡·卡斯塔菲尔（金姆·斯坦戈配音）出席的音乐会，比安卡被称为“米兰的夜莺”，她具有穿透力的歌声可以击碎玻璃橱窗，这样萨卡林训练的鹰就可以飞下来，并且把第三个卷轴偷走。被丁丁和阿道克一直追到港口后，萨卡林最终带着三个卷轴逃脱了。丁丁追着他回到欧洲，并且在港口安排了警察逮捕他。阿道克和其实是里德·拉克姆后代的萨卡林用码头上的塔吊、剑甚至是威士忌的瓶子重演了他们祖先惊心动魄的刀剑战争。阿道克最终获得胜利，萨卡林立即被汤姆森和汤普森逮捕了。
拥有三个卷轴后，丁丁和阿道克发现它所指示的位置是马林斯派克大厅，这座大厅最初是由弗朗西斯·阿道克爵士建立的。在地窖里面，他们找到了其中一些珍宝和一个关于沉没的独角兽号地址的线索。他们两个人都同意继续冒险。

Jamie Bell Interviewed by Bone-idle
Was it a challenge stepping into Tintin's shoes?
You know as a child I wanted to be excellent, I wanted to shoot bad guys all the time, I wanted to hang out with a drunken sea captain but in terms of when you find out you are going to play the role it's a huge responsibility because like a lot of Tintin fans I have this in my soul. I have great admiration for Herge and I started by finding out about his early life, to the early stages of Tintin and finding out what that is about, where it came from and discovering that Tintin is the biggest riddle in the whole universe of Herge. Also the physical side of things was very important as well. Tintin is a very physical person, he's strong, and having a dance background for me was very useful. We took panels from all the different books and we blew them up so we were literally lifting off the page and that was a big help.
Did you know much about Herge before you started your research?
Zero. I remembered the name “Herge” as a kid. Actually in the same way that I remembered what Steven Spielberg looked like on the screen after I saw Jurassic Park for the first time. But when I started my research I totally got into Herge and I read as much about him as I could. 进入丁丁这个角色是一个挑战吗？
你知道当我还是一个孩子的时候，我就想成为一个优秀的人，我总是想射击那些坏家伙，我想和一个喝醉的船长出去闯，但是当你发现你要去演这个角色的时候，这是一个很大的责任，因为和很多丁丁迷一样，他是在我的灵魂里面的。我很钦佩埃尔热，我从调查他的早期生活开始，到丁丁前面的几个阶段，了解这个故事是关于什么的，它从何而来，并且发现在埃尔热的整个世界里面，丁丁才是最大的谜。身体方面的东西也很重要。丁丁是一个很有体力的人，他很强壮，因此我的舞蹈功底很有用。我们从不同的书里面获得画面，然后我们把它们放大，这样我们就能准确地展示原貌了。这是一个很大的帮助。
在你开始你的调查之前，你对埃尔热了解很多吗？
完全不了解。我还是孩子的时候就记住了“埃尔热”这个名字。实际上，同样地，在我第一次看完《侏罗纪公园》后，我记住了史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格在银幕上的样子。但是当我开始我的调查的时候，我完全迷上了埃尔热，我尽可能多地阅读关于他的东西。

史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格在1983年就拿到了《丁丁历险记》的拍摄版权。
在影片的一开始，有一个画家画出了丁丁的形象。这个画家本人的形象是按照丁丁的漫画作者乔治·埃尔热·雷米的形象创造的。
本片是斯皮尔伯格的第一部改编漫画作品。虽然他此前有机会执导《超人》，但是未能成行。
为了扮演好阿道克船长，安迪·瑟金斯读了很多丁丁漫画。他认为阿道克船长的身上有很多超现实的特质，就好像是《蒙迪·佩登》（Monty Python）电影中的一些角色。
