电影《梦想飞驰》观后感

Plot DREAMER focuses on the loving relationship between a girl and her horse. Young Cale meets racehorse Sonya when she spends a work day with her father, a trainer named Ben . When Sonya breaks her leg in a race, Ben refuses to have the horse put down and buys her from the money-minded owner, Mr. Palmer . Soon, Sonya is fit enough to race. A gruff sort, Ben has trouble showing his affection for Cale, in part because he has a difficult history with his own father, retired trainer Pop . Cale's mother, Lily tries to help Ben overcome his disconnection, encouraging him to see the bond developing between Cale and Sonya, as well as Pop's involvement in the horse's recovery. Stable hand Balon and jockey Manolin also help in her remarkable recovery. In competition against his brother, wealthy Prince Sadir decides to finance Sonya's comeback. 毫无异议,女儿Cale的角色是全剧最光彩夺目的地方。她善良而且充满梦想,更何况才10岁的她有着令人感慨不已的坚定和聪慧。正是她推动了故事中所有的梦想:已经沉寂许久的梦想,曾经遭遇到挫折的梦想,看起来绝不可能实现的梦想......所有的梦想都慢慢地生动起来。 小演员Dakota Fanning把Cale这个角色诠释得棒极了。她的演出让我想起Haley Joey Osmant(Artificial Intellegence中饰演David)。这两个早熟的孩子都有着令人惊诧不已的天分。他们的表演最与本身年龄不符的地方是语速缓慢且连贯,以及表情沉静从容。这样的控制节奏的能力就连成年人也未必能够拥有。Slow is a certain kind of power. 这句话实在是正确。她的念白和表情揉合了纯净和从容两种感觉,有时候甚至能带给我一种颇负韵味的非现实的感觉。其中,我最喜欢的是她念那首诗: “You are a great cham pion. When you ran the ground shook. The sky opened and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory. Where you will meet me in the winner's circle. Where I will lay a blanket of flowers on your back.” 这是电影里祖父教给小孙女Cale的一段诗。Dakota Fanning把它念得十分动人。尤其是作为两处旁白时候的演绎,配合上稍稍拉远和放慢的镜头,让人体会到广阔的精神世界和无限的期待。 这段诗暗合了电影中另一个频频出现的词“king”:电影里面祖父对小孙女这样说道:“Racing is a game of king”;Cale在学校里面所写的那个寓言式的故事也是关于Castle, a magic horse and King。我们可以将这种重复简单地理解为对这种运动本身的奢华性的一种强调,但是从更深的含义看来,赛马文化本身是和骑士文化、贵族文化是联系在一起的。电影里面的King其实是代表了精英文化中对精神世界具有高贵性的这一认知的肯定。 马商Palmer代表了世俗商人文化。他心胸狭隘,唯利是图,为人刻薄,对Crane一家的行为嗤之以鼻。两位阿拉伯王子的存在则折射出西方传统精英对异族文化一种无奈的妥协、艳羡和本质上的不予理解。Crane家族虽然被Palmer讽刺为疯子一家而且也确实在失去了以前经济上优越性,但是他们在当地其他同类养马师心目中依然备受尊重。他们的优越性不是从世家身份或者绝对经济实力上得到的----事实上即使是在Crane家族兴盛的时期,他们也不属于世家或者富豪----他们所体会的优越感是来自于他们对自己所从事的这个行业(训马)的坚持和超越众人的专业能力。 无论怎样,电影中Crane家族的幸运儿是极少数。绝大多数满脑子不合时宜的梦想者在强大的商业文化或者庞大的财富面前显得脆弱而且犹疑。他们对自己的怀疑就是颓然放弃的前奏。这也就是为什么我喜欢Crane家的诗,它让人感到充满勇气和自豪。 女孩自信镇定的气场一开始就狠狠地抓住了我的眼球,她的眼睛里透着一股与她年龄不符的力量。小小的脑袋不知装载着多少鲜为人知的事情,多少等待爆发的梦想。 与其说她是个勇敢家,不如说她是个梦想家,那是个集结了多少欲望的梦想,促使她掷下豪言 There is no objection that daughter Cale’s role is the most brilliant place in this movie.She is kind and full of dreams.Moreover ,as just a ten years old girl ,she has a feeling at the firm and intelligent.It was she who promote all stories of the dreams which have been silent for a long time ,once encountered setbacks,looking not possible to achieve...All dreams are slowly vivid rise. Performer who called Dakota Fanning interpretation the role of the Cale wonderful.She shows her glamour through the slow and coherent speed and expression calm.Slow is a certain kind of power,I think. Her and expressions knead two kind of feeling including the pure and calm. What I like best is the poem her read: “You are a great champion. When you ran the ground shook. The sky opened and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory. Where you will meet me in the winner's circle. Where I will lay a blanket of flowers on your back.” It let a person experience the vast spiritual world and the infinite expectation.It makes me feel brave and glory . In the movie,the grandfather said to the little granddaughter that Racing is a game of king.The story that Cale wrote in the school was also about Castle, a magic horse and King.It seems that the King in the movie is actually represents the elite culture in the spiritual world from deeper meaning.
