2019贺岁片|贺岁片看什么，《十月围城》有看点
真是受够了这个假期那些让人失望透顶的电影。自张艺谋的《三枪拍案惊奇》惨遭负面评价后，想要说服人们花好莱坞大片（例如：《2012》）的价钱来看国产片，似乎需要点儿更具说服力的理由。幸运的是，《十月围城》来得正是时候。
OK, enough of those disappointing films we"ve had this holiday. After some people"s negative talk about Zhang Yimou"s A Simple Noodle Story, people seem to feel they need a better reason to pay Hollywood blockbuster (e.g. 2012) prices for a Chinese model. Fortunately, Bodyguards and Assassins has come at the right time.
该片上映前，这部由香港导演陈可辛和陈德森执导的新片的卖点，总能让我们想到《建国大业》。二者都具备强大的明星阵容，记录的也同是中国历史上具有转折点意义的革命。但是，若说中华人民共和国建立前的时代很黑暗，那么，20世纪初期绝对要加个"更"字。那时的中国正努力摆脱已有2000多年历史的封建君主制的束缚。而《十月围城》的剧情也恰恰发生在这个时候。
Before it came out, the selling point of this new film by Hong Kong directors Peter Chan and Teddy Chan, reminded us of the recent The Founding of a Republic. It had an all-star cast and a revolution at a turning point in China"s history. But, if it was a dark time just before the founding of the PRC, it"s definitely darker earlier in the 20th century. That"s when China was struggling to rid itself of a feudal monarchy that had been around for more than 2,000 years. And that"s where Bodyguards and Assassins comes in.
故事本身其实很简单：清政府的刺客们与一些有着不同背景的正义之士之间的斗争。这些正义之士想要推翻旧社会，为保护孙中山甚至不惜牺牲生命。剧中，孙中山刚从日本来到香港，准备策划起义。
The story is simple: basically a fight between assassins from the Qing Dynastic court and a few righteous men from different backgrounds who care enough to fight against the old society and risk their lives to protect Sun Yat-sen, who"s returning from Japan to Hong Kong to plan an uprising.
毫无疑问，观众们一开始都被出场的明星们迷住了。（坐在我旁边的一对情侣甚至玩起了愚蠢的游戏--屏幕上每出现一个演员，他们就喊出那人的名字。）但是，与无法让观众关注剧情的《建国大业》相比，《十月围城》更强调剧情本身。因此，该剧避免了只“展出明星”这一束缚。
To nobody"s surprise, at the beginning audiences were intrigued when the stars appeared. (The couple sitting next to me played that silly game-announcing every star by name whenever they appeared). But in contrast to The Founding of a Republic, which easily distracted the audience all the way through, Bodyguards and Assassins focuses on the story, thereby avoiding the straightjacket of having only the stars on display.
在剧情的构造上，电影采取了倒计时：孙中山来港前一周，接着是前五天，前三天，来港前夜。这种悬疑的方式在故事情节的构建上起到了帮助作用，给人一种“某事就要发生”的感觉，而且还成功避免了乏味感。每个环节，导演都添加了一些其他情景，推进整个故事的发展。
The film uses a countdown system to structure the plot: a week before Sun returns, then five days, three days, the night before. That suspenseful method helps develop the story by giving a feeling that "something"s about to happen", but not in a boring way. In each section, the director adds a little something else that pushes the film forward.
影片前半段非常轻松，包含了父子之间的爱，主仆之间的忠诚，年轻男女之间的浪漫以及前情侣之间的依依不舍。而所有这些都是种铺垫，让导演在后面的剧情中更能激起观众的情感。
The first half is quite light-hearted and filled with love between a father and child, loyalty between a master and servant, romance between a young boy and girl, and the lingering feelings of ex-lovers. These allow the director to stir the audience"s emotions later on.
影片后半段着重强调双方的较量。这也正是该片中明星并非虚设的原因所在。导演给每个演员一些适当表演的空间。而由功夫巨星甄子丹主导的核心打斗场面无疑是整个电影的一大亮点。此外，巴特尔的少林功夫，黎明流畅优雅的武术动作以及谢霆锋草根的街头打斗都让影片的打斗场景变得多样化。
In the second half, the emphasis is on the fight. That"s another reason the stars in this film are more than just part of a display. The director gives each actor some room to play properly. The hard-core fighting scenes by kungfu star Donnie Yen are definitely a highlight of the film. Then there"s the Shaolin kungfu of Mengke Bateer, the facile but graceful martial arts of Leon Lai , and the unprofessional street-fighting skills of Nicholas Tse that add variety to the fight scenes.
一个个正义之士的牺牲让影片的主题逐渐浮出水面：革命的道路上避免不了死亡和牺牲。“欲求文明之幸福，不得不经文明之痛苦。这痛苦，就叫作革命。”在该片接近尾声时，革命领导人孙中山先生在独白中说。
As the bodyguards die off, a theme gradually emerges: there"s always death and sacrifice on the road to revolution. "To pursue happiness, one has to suffer from pain and the pain is revolution," Sun, the revolutionary leader, says in a monologue near the end.
但是，为了避免老生常谈的爱国主义题材和哗众取宠的效果，该片在前期颇有技巧地融入了很多不同情感，但却没有偏离主题。每位勇士牺牲的背后，又是爱与希望。所有的小爱最终都变成了大爱，这大爱支持他们奋斗到最后。也正是这种氛围时刻牵动这观众的情感。
However, to avoid patriotic clichés and sensationalism, the film skillfully blends in different emotions that appear earlier with the major principle. What"s behind each warrior"s death is, again, love and hope. All the small loves eventually become one big love that supports each of them and keeps them fighting to the end. Hence the vibe that keeps audiences emotionally engaged.
张艺谋曾说，之所以创作《三枪拍案惊奇》是为了博80后、90后一笑。为什么呢？因为如今的孩子太难取悦了。但是，抱着相似的初衷，这个对英雄和这一系列历史时间的歌颂影片同样赢得了这辈生于和平年代的人的喜爱。充满爱与灵魂的故事往往能打动人们的心。而这，就是《十月围城》想要向我们传达的信息。
Zhang Yimou once said that in making A Simple Noodle Story he really wanted to make the post 80s and 90s generation laugh. Why? Because today"s kids are too cynical to be pleased. For similar reasons, a eulogy for elites and a pile of historical events don"t appear relevant to this generation, born in the era of peace. But a story with love and soul can always touch the heart. That"s what Bodyguards and Assassins delivers.
