大家好,这里是新联学院英语广播电台,我是今天的主播Zoe,又到了大家喜欢的影评时间,今天要和大家分享的电影是:《卡罗尔》。《卡罗尔》改编自《天才雷普利》作者派翠西亚-海史密斯的中篇小说《盐的代价》,导演托德-海因斯非常擅长还原50年代美国社会,凯特-布兰切特和鲁妮-玛拉两位女演员对于女同性恋的表演也非常精准,尤其是数度眼神交流,两种不同的魅力交织碰撞,让观者心动。我同样为两位女主角的深情对望感到震撼而感动,有一句话是她们的写照:我们相爱,就是道德。
I remember the first time Carol took Therese to a fine restaurant, and Therese nervously asked for the same meal and drink as Carol, clinking Martini with Green Olives on the shake, with Therese's eyes full of schoolgirl longing and tension .
The first glimpse of Carol's fatal attraction to stare fixedly into the world, of being invited into a state of blissful anticipation, of not knowing what to do about the suffering of one's loved ones, of sitting on a train and looking out of the window and crying in agony, answer honestly the first day of the trip never once thought of the "fiance" , holding a loved one's clothes can not help but smell the happiness on her face. Therese likes it clear and strong, like a Martini with Kool aid and Gin, without a hint of self-consciousness, and says yes to everything about Carol, giving her a straight-forward, honest look, telling her she likes her every time.
She gave her a lot of new firsts, first-class restaurants, high-end hotels, road trips, first time she did her make-up, listened to vintage records, smoked, drank, laughed, opened the door and saw her standing in the doorway, lift her feet to push into a box, open, is her camera, next to a pile of film. She looks up at her, a little dazed, to Carol, who is aggressive, who lets herself fall deeper into it, who likes it too much, who has sex for the first time, who rips off the robe, who stares in the mirror and kisses thousand times, as if they had kissed she closed her eyes.
And for the first time her heart ached, as the descent pleasure eroded all restraint and reason, and the morning after she had left her began, Abandoned, felt pale on the return journey, so bitter that she could not refrain from dry heaving. Lost all focus of life and become a abandoned puppet little man. Theresa was most impressed when she said, I miss you, I miss you, in a desperate voice over the receiver after she hung up the phone. Softly repeated, each time let the viewer heart-rending. The black-and-white pictures of Carol became her last link to her, her smile hiding under the bookcase like their love never saw the light of day.
The last scene of a long reunion that seems stilted, the face of Coral's love and invitation, Therese looks a little dazed. She says the first no to her, not because she doesn't like it, but because the pain is a reminder that love can be too strong and too heavy. Carol puts her hand on her shoulder as she says goodbye. She closes her eyes and greedily for the final touch. The camera swivels. The man taps her on the shoulder. She doesn't even turn her head back.
Dearest, there are no accidents, and everything comes full circle.No explanation I offer will satisfy you. You seek resolutions because you are young; but you will understand this one day. Everything comes full circle, and when it happens I want you to imagine me there to greet you.
喜欢,多喜欢,喜欢到明明知道接踵而来会是伤害还是义无反顾的回到Carol的身边,穿越街道,穿过人群,不顾一切诧异的眼光,那一眼对视,Everything comes full circle
"That's that."
译文: 记得第一次Carol带Therese去高级餐厅,Therese有些局促不安的要了跟Carol一样的meal和drink,她们碰杯,马提尼里的绿橄榄轻轻摇晃,Therese的眼神有着小女生不会掩饰的憧憬和紧张。
第一眼看到Carol那种移不开目光的致命的吸引力,被邀请后满心欢喜的期待,对自己所爱的人的痛苦束手无策的那种绝望,坐在火车上看着窗外狼狈的哭红了眼, 诚实的回答一起旅行的第一天哪怕一下都没有想起过“未婚夫”,拿着喜欢的人的衣服忍不住闻着时脸上满满的幸福感。Therese的喜欢清澈而浓烈,像加着苦艾和金酒的马提尼,没有一下忸怩,关于Carol的一切回答都是yes,双眸毫不躲避,坦率而又真诚的看着她,每眨一下都是在告诉对方我喜欢你。
她带给了她很多新奇的第一次,第一次进上层社会的餐厅,住高档的酒店,公路旅行,第一次她为她化妆,听着复古悠扬的唱片,抽烟喝酒谈笑,她打开门看到她站在门口,抬脚推进一个箱子,打开,是自己梦寐以求的相机,旁边一大摞胶卷。她抬起头看向她,竟有些恍惚,面对强势主动的Carol,她任凭自己越陷越深,喜欢的无法自拔,as if they had kissed a thousand times before,闭上眼睛,天旋地转似的欢愉侵蚀着一切克制和理智。
第一次痛彻心扉,她离开她的那个早上开始,失魂落魄,回程路上的脸色憔悴而苍白,因为过于痛苦而忍不住干呕,失去生活的一切重心成了被遗弃的木偶小人。印象最深的是Theresa在被挂断电话以后对着话筒动情而绝望的说I miss you, I miss you。轻轻的重复,每一下都让看的人心碎。那些关于Carol的黑白照片成了她与她最后的联系,一颦一笑,藏在书柜的下面,就像她们的爱情见不了阳光。
最后一幕的久别重逢显得有些生硬,面对Coral的表白和邀请,Therese的神情有点恍惚,她对她说了第一个no,不是不喜欢了,而是经历的痛苦在提醒着这样的爱是不是太浓烈显得太沉重。告别的时候Carol的手搭在她的肩头,她闭上眼睛,贪婪的留恋着最后的温存,镜头一转,那个男的拍了拍她的肩,她连头都没有回。
喜欢,多喜欢,喜欢到明明知道接踵而来会是伤害还是义无反顾的回到Carol的身边,穿越街道,穿过人群,不顾一切诧异的眼光,那一眼对视,Everything comes full circle。
"That's that."
