一個月之前,在金球獎頒獎典禮上,《愛樂之城》因成為第一部贏得7座獎杯的電影而名垂史冊。這部電影幾乎獲得了每一類想得到的獎項的認可,包括兩首最佳原創(chuàng)歌曲,它共獲得了14項提名,與《彗星美人》和《泰坦尼克號》的記錄相當。
Next to Moonlight, Hidden Figures and Fences, all of which are best picture nominees, La La Land doesn’t look too progressive. However, the very fact that it doesn’t have an overt political message, but is still good enough to beguile awards bodies, is what makes La La Land so unusual.
與《月光男孩》、《隱藏人物》、《藩籬》等被提名為最佳影片的作品相比,《愛樂之城》看上去不太先進。然而,這部電影沒有明顯的政治訊息,但依然足夠好到輕松獲獎,正是這一事實使得《愛樂之城》如此獨特。
At heart LA LA Land is a romantic comedy, however, the Academy has long been notorious for neglecting romantic comedies. Try to think of a recent boy-meets-girl comedy, which has been uplifting and un-ironic, without also being nauseating, and you’ll appreciate how special La La Land is.
《愛樂之城》本質上是一部浪漫喜劇,然而,權威人士一直因忽視愛情喜劇而臭名昭著。試著想想最近的一部關于男女戀情的喜劇,它既使人開心,又不會令人啼笑皆非,而且不會令人作嘔,你就會明白《愛樂之城》是多么特別。
Chazelleuses the film’s first act to establish Mia and Seb’s individual careers and passions. When they finally get around to having a conversation, the audience is primed and ready for them to fall in love. And even then, the pacing has a relaxed, breezy confidence.
沙澤勒在第一幕就確定了米婭和賽博的個人事業(yè)和喜好。當他們最終抽出時間聊天的時候,觀眾就做好準備,他們將墜入愛河。即使在那個時候,電影的節(jié)奏依然傳遞著一種輕松愉快的自信。
LA LA LAND got those 14 Oscar nominations for its flowing camerawork, the Pop Art brightness of its costumes and production design, and the toe-tapping songs by Justin Hurwitz. But it’s the magic in that buoyant first hour that makes it worthy of the awards it has been and will be given: the magic of an exquisitely constructed comedy about two people who make beautiful music together.
《愛樂之城》因其順暢的拍攝技巧、劇裝和造型設計充滿流行藝術的光輝,以及賈斯汀·赫維茨創(chuàng)作的輕松明快的歌曲而贏得了14項奧斯卡提名。然而,正是那輕快的第一個小時中的魔力使這部電影配得上它獲得的以及那些即將獲得的獎項:關于兩個人共同創(chuàng)作美妙音樂的一部制作精良的喜劇的魔力。
