上海电影节第四场(一天四场的酸爽体验告一段落),平实叙事和风格化影像调和出的诗意现实主义,但平实的叙事恐怕被切割得有点过于细碎和随意,而风格化的诗性影像(浅焦跟拍、固定机位空镜、特殊构图)一方面不算新颖,一方面有的设计又感觉差点意思。影片关照的与其说只是身处外国的中国人这一群体,毋宁说是全球化语境下主体性的危机(不仅有身在国外时所遭受的严苛训练展现出的对身体的扭曲,女主角回国后和丈夫之间的微妙关系通过特殊构图展现出来,打印机、摩天大楼则不断凸显着新秩序下利奥塔所谓的第一种“非人”异化),正是无处不在的律令、禁令、象征秩序掏空了主体,让主体失去了能动性,最终沦为虚无的、飘零的城市森林中的游魂和雪林中的独行者。芭蕾舞所指涉的自然是双重的,既是被符号化(异化)的身体,也是德勒兹意义上的身体原初之美昆汀那部分相较于其他作品显得尤为不足,在我们总结昆汀的作者特色之时,有一点极为明显,他将恐怖片中的铺垫情绪、渲染氛围嫁接到了动作片之中,使观众沉溺于一个由对话构建的独特环境之中,然后陡然升起,血浆四溅,这种出其不意,使观众造成了强大的前后反差,令他自吴宇森等人那里借过来的动作技巧,不在是浪漫主义,而是一种带有喜剧色彩的英雄形象。这一点,在本片中被应用到了场景段落之间,相比于原先单个段落内部的架构,这次他用四部分架构了两个反差,都是采用絮絮叨叨的台词衔接火爆刺激的追车戏,当然第一次是效果十足的,几次重复时段剪接也是亮点十足,但第二次的长时间就暴露了这种方式的阈值,追车戏份的过长导致反差减小,未达到观众的兴奋阈值。自然那些铺垫段落在后来会感觉乏味无比,那么观众日后想起的也就只剩那一段撞车戏了。Prom Pact is set at the height of prom season. High school senior Mandy Coleman and her best friend and fellow outsider Ben are surrounded by over-the-top '80s-themed Promposals. However, Mandy keeps her eyes focused on a different goal: her lifelong dream of attending Harvard. When she finds out her acceptance has been deferred, she is determined to do whatever she can do to get herself off the waitlist, even if that means asking for help from the one person she abhors - popular all-star jock Graham Lansing, whose father is a powerful senator and Harvard alum. Once Mandy becomes Graham's tutor, she begins to realize there's more to him than she thought and perhaps something more to life than Harvard.
