百年50部英文烧脑电影赏析:[47]The Next Three Days 危情三日
Crowe gives his best, most sympathetic performance in years in the corking thriller The Next Three Days.
《危情三日》是一部很棒的惊悚片,电影中克劳的表演是几年来最好的、最能引起人们共鸣的。

One of the best movies of the year.
年度最佳电影之一。
——Joshua Tyler, CinemaBlend.com
I enjoyed this movie and I think it's a little underrated. The story is simple and it's very entertaining to watch everything play out.
我很喜欢这部电影,我认为它有点儿被低估了。这个故事很简单,观看整个过程很有趣。

Lara Brennan(Elizabeth Banks)is convicted of murdering her boss after an altercation at work and after a trial is sentenced to life in prison. Following the failure of her appeal, Lara's husband John Brennan(Russell Crowe),a professor at a community college, becomes obsessed with the idea of breaking her out of jail, while their son Luke(Ty Simpkins)ceases to acknowledge her during their prison visits.

John consults Damon Pennington(Liam Neeson), a former convict who successfully escaped from prison seven times. Damon advises John to study the prison where his wife is, saying “every prison has a key”. Damon also warns him that the initial escape from the prison will be easy compared with avoiding capture after the escape. To that end, John must obtain false passports, new social security numbers, and a “truckload of cash” to have a chance of success. Damon also suggests going to an unpopular foreign country for Americans so that authorities will be unlikely to look for them there. John learns Pittsburgh's time to lock-down the city's exits after a call is made to do so: 15 minutes for the city center and 35 minutes for all interstates, secondary roads, and stations or airports. Damon Pennington tells John to ask himself if he can really “be that guy” who knocks over an old lady or shoots a guard if it's the difference between escape or getting caught.
John contemplates several ideas that do not pan out and is defeated more than once, but he latches onto a solid plan and the necessary paperwork after some painful efforts. He robs a drug lord and sets his meth lab on fire before fleeing the scene. He then falsifies and plants blood work results indicating that his wife is in a state of hyperkalaemia, so she is transferred to the hospital. He follows the ambulance and helps her escape although she is doubtful and reluctant, motivated only by the idea of her son being raised without either parent.
With the police getting some lucky breaks, they are hot on John and Lara's trail through a series of chases. Throughout the film, John is shown assembling maps, photographs, notes, and other papers on a wall of his house, He tears them down and stuffs them into several garbage bags before leaving to rescue Lara, leaving one bag in the trash outside his home, and the rest in a dumpster some blocks away. As it turns out, he did this selectively to misguide the detectives regarding their final destination. They have an uncomfortable moment at passport control, as a Canadian officer examines their passports and glances at the page of photographs showing people to stop. He allows them to pass. The shift changes, and as they walk down the hall, their photos are added to the list. An international flight is delayed, but the police were after the wrong destination.
At the end of the film, the family ends up safe in Caracas, Venezuela. Back in the United States, a detective who had attempted to catch Brennan returns to the scene of the crime although it had been some years since the crime occurred. Using his forensic skills, he manages to put together what really happened. It turns out that the killer of Lara's boss was really just a mugger—as she claimed in open court—and a series of coincidences led to Lara's conviction. He remembers Lara saying a button popped off as she passed the mugger, and notices that it is raining just as it had been the night of the murder He tosses a piece of paper in the current where the button would have fallen off, and it leads into a gutter. He searches the gutter but is unable to find the button to prove Lara's innocence. It turns out the button was there, buried under grime, and the detective just missed it. The last shot of this detective shows him turning back to think, implying that there is a possibility of him taking a second look and locating the button, which would've led to the exoneration of Lara. However, that is left open to audience speculation.
劳拉·布伦南(伊丽莎白·班克斯饰)被指控由于工作中的摩擦而谋杀了她的老板,庭审后被判无期徒刑。上诉被驳回后,劳拉身为社区大学教授的丈夫约翰·布伦南(罗素·克劳饰)却幻想着帮助她越狱,而他们的儿子卢克(泰·辛普金斯饰)却在监狱探视时不再认她这个妈妈了。
约翰向达蒙·彭宁顿(连姆·尼森饰)这位曾经蒙冤,并七次成功越狱的过来人求教。达蒙建议约翰仔细观察她妻子所在的监狱,并说每个监狱都有“一把钥匙”。达蒙还告诫他逃出监狱不算难,但难的是逃出后不被抓住。最后,最重要的是,约翰还必须弄到假护照、新的社会保险账号和大量的现金才能提高成功率。达蒙还建议最好选一个美国人不关注的国家,这样当局就不会去那种地方找他们。约翰了解到匹兹堡在收到通知到关闭各城市间通道的时间间隔:城中心是15分钟,各州间、二级公路和车站机场是35分钟。达蒙·彭宁顿让约翰在行动前,先问问自己是否愿意成为一个“打倒老妇人或射杀保安”的暴徒,逃跑和被追捕之间是否不同。

约翰苦思冥想,想出了几个办法,却都没有敲定,他一次次地推翻重来,但几经努力,他最终锁定了一个周详的计划并准备了必要的文件。他抢劫了一个毒枭并在离开现场前,放火烧了那儿的毒品实验室。然后,他伪造了一份血液检测报告证明她妻子有高血糖症,这样她将会被移送到医院,他就可以尾随救护车,并伺机帮她逃跑。虽然她妻子疑虑重重、极不情愿,但为了不让他们的孩子在没有父母照料的环境下长大,她还是同意了他的计划。
由于幸运,警察经过一系列的追踪,他们发现了约翰和劳拉的行踪线索。在影片中,约翰在自己房间的墙上,不断地拼合着各种地图、照片、便条和各种纸张。在他出发去救劳拉前,把墙上所有东西扯下来,装满了几个垃圾袋,一包丢到他家门前的垃圾桶里,其他的扔到了几个街区外的垃圾桶里。最终证明,他这样做是为了让侦探搞不清他们最终要去的目的地。他们在入境护照检查时发生了惊险的一幕:当一位加拿大官员查看他们的护照时,只看了几眼照片就示意其他人停止办理。然而他让他们过去了,原来是他要换班了。他们走进大厅,他们的照片被加入到候机名单中。国际航班晚点了,而此时警察正在赶往错误的目的地。

影片结束时,这个家庭在委内瑞拉的加拉加斯安全团聚。镜头回到美国,一位想抓住布伦南的侦探返回到凶案现场,虽然凶案已经过去了很多年。运用法理推理技巧,他正设法找出真相。推理结果证明杀死劳拉老板的真凶确实是一名抢窃犯——正如她在庭审中申明的那样——是一系列的巧合导致了劳拉的冤情。他还记得劳拉说过她经过抢窃犯身边时掉了一个纽扣。他注意到,跟谋杀发生当晚一样,现在天上正在下雨,在劳拉纽扣可能跌落的地方,他撕下一张纸扔到地上的雨水中,那张纸随水流人了排水沟,他搜遍了排水沟,却没有找到那颗可以证明劳拉无辜的纽扣。事实上,纽扣被埋到了淤泥下面,侦探没有发现。最后一个镜头是:这位侦探在回忆,暗示他可能会去再找一遍,并最终发现那颗纽扣,从而为劳拉昭雪。影片就此给观众留下了一个悬念。

■ John contemplates several ideas that do not pan out and is defeated more than once,…
pan out是英语中一个固定短语,它的常用意思是“(在淘选中)淘出金子;在淘选中淘掉(沙子等)”,比如:They had been working in the stream for a week but they hadn't panned out. 他们在那条小河里淘洗了一个星期,但没有淘出金子。它还有“移动镜头;拍摄全景”、“发展;逐渐过去”的意思,比如:The camera panned out over the crowd. 摄影机拉开镜头拍摄人群全景。此外,它还可以表达“产生结果;成功”的意思,也就是该短语在文中的意思,比如:We hope things will pan out as we expect. 我们希望事情的结果如我们所料。

Paul Haggis Interviewed by Perri Nemiroff
I'm sure you have your choice of projects to take on, so why The Next Three Days?
I've always wanted to do a thriller. I'm a filmmaker and I was most influenced by Hitchcock's films. How he could plant such deep enriched characters and then make us care both about the antagonist and protagonist was masterful. I also loved films like Three Days of the Condor where Sydney Pollack was able to manipulate us into caring about these two people who shouldn't be together and yet pulling you into a thriller. So I thought, that would be a lot of fun for me and then I saw this little film and it was very slight, it was like an 84 minute film, but had great balance and so I thought it asked the question it didn't have time to fully explore and I figured I could ask my own questions about it.
Did you stick closely to the story of the original French film Pour Elle?
The format is the same. There are a couple of places where the shots are the same. I tried to do something different, that filmmaker just did a better job, so I said, “I'm going to go with him”, but it was just a couple. There are signposts all the way through that are exactly the same, but then my film is two hours and ten minutes, theirs is 84 minutes, so there's a lot more stuff in it.
我相信你对要承接的拍摄项目是有所择取的,为什么选择了《危情三日》?
我一直想拍一部惊险片。我是制片人,受希区柯克电影的影响最多。他是如何能创造出如此深刻的角色,然后让我们既要关心反对者也要关注支持者是值得学习的。我也喜爱电影,像《秃鹰七十二小时》,西德尼·波拉克能够控制我们关注这两个不该在一起的人,并把你带入惊险。所以我想,对我来说那会很有趣,然后我看到了这个小电影,非常纤小,一部84分钟的电影,但很均衡,所以我想提出的问题还没有充分的时间探讨,我想这就是我要问自己的问题。
你贴近了原法国电影《一切为了她》的故事吗?
形式相同。拍摄的地点也有几处相同。我尝试不同的创造,制片人要做得更好些,所以我说,“我要跟他走”,但只是几处。那是一路上通过的路标,完全相同。但后来我的电影是2个小时10分钟,他们的是84分钟,所以这里面还有更多的东西。

本片翻拍自法国电影《一切为了她》,尽管是部翻拍片,但是其中也加入了导演、编剧保罗·哈吉斯自己的创作,比如本片在匹兹堡拍摄的场景,很多并不是像通常那样在拍摄前就写好。据哈吉斯透露,他有将近380个镜头,是到了匹兹堡之后,被那里的环境感染,之后在拍摄过程中才创作出来的。
在2009年的秋天,匹兹堡颇受好莱坞垂青,除《危情三曰》外,爱德华·兹威克携安妮·海瑟薇与杰克·吉伦哈尔拍摄的《爱情与灵药》(2o10年),托尼·斯科特率领丹泽尔·华盛顿与克里斯·派恩演绎的《危情时速》(2010年)也在这里取景。
本片在匹兹堡拍摄时,让当地监狱不少工作人员有幸当了把群众演员,露了下脸,比如监狱主管多尼斯就很满意地表示,“我在片中就扮演我自己,将告知主要角色关于安全方面的问题。”
