美国拌菜

绝大多数科幻片对我来说都不怎么好看,以刚看的《芬奇 Finch》为例,只需要一个演员,汤姆·汉克斯,加一条狗,一个机器人,展现一个末世场景,即便是拍成15分钟的短片,我也不会看出什么浪漫、悲壮,我将它视为一份美国风味的劣质拌菜,主要作料:

  1. 后人类
  2. 气候灾难
  3. cyberpunk风格的机器人
  4. 公路片
  5. 人狗情

说真的,这种片子就是看了会后悔的那种,看也就是冲着演员,只能说表演虽好,挡不住烂剧情,挡不住工业体制生产的罐头食品。对比刚去世的戈达尔,对电影的态度太不一样了。芬奇这样的电影,只能喂喂不挑食的美国青少年。

我特别不喜欢的是导演对人的满满的恶意,毫无说服力的互害模式。据说导演 Miguel Sapochnik 接受采访时说,本来电影有一段是说机器人 Jeff 最终碰到了人类,人类也完全不是芬奇想象的那么恶,不过这一段因为电影时长被剪掉了。电影拍了很多,最终呈现给观众的只是一部分。原话是这样的:

“We shot a lot. There is a whole section that ended up on the cutting room floor that was about Jeff finally coming into contact with human beings and how they were not what he expected and certainly not what his father, Finch, had prepared him for. But when we got to post, we were in the edit, there was a point where I realized that I knew we had reached the end of the movie but we still had more story to tell. I tried as much as I could to see if we could accommodate it, but it was a bigger story than we had time to tell in the time we had left to tell it. At some point we just had to make a choice. “

即便是这样,电影没有贡献多少值得回味的东西。

此外,科幻界津津乐道的阿西莫夫的三大法则在我看来简直是痴心妄想,比如“机器人不得伤害人类个体,或者目睹人类个体将遭受危险而袖手不管”,就看看现在的自动火炮,你说它不是机器人?只能说,法则可以订,但现实早就打脸了。
