半个喜剧

This is a fascinating, colorful and very-well made film that looks like an epic and is in fact an intelligent drama about sculptor-painter- architect-poet Michelangelo Buonarrotti. Here portrayed by the much taller Charlton Heston, and admirably, he is presented as a man who want only to create beauty, a man without "people skills" or interest in much of anything else--not women, nor war not the dynastic dreams of men--only the Renaissance idea of utilizing one's abilities. He even pays attention to religion only because the world interests him, and he equates his heaven with what men can achieve--and Earth with the same sort of place he expects to find as an afterlife. Carol Reed directed and produced this fascinating look at the Renaissance, with its warrior priests, its worldly dreamers and its subtle change toward a politics of gunpowder, secular pursuits and worldly morality. Philp Dunne, author of "David and Bathsheba" wrote this thoughtful spectacle film as well. In the cast besides Heston are Rex Harrison as Pope Julius, close-fisted patron, admirer and nemesis, Harry Andrews as his rival Bramante, Diane Cilento as the woman who would like to love him, Alberto Lupo, Adolfo Celli, Fausto Tozzi and a narration by Marvin Miller. The opportunity to see the real landscapes in which Michelangelo was born, worked and became inspired is a wonderful one for the viewer; the entire Carrara marble quarry section is stunningly beautiful. The film has battle scenes able done by Robert D. Webb, Leon Shamroy's cinematography, a prelude by Jerrald Goldsmith and sterling music by Alex North, production design by John Cuir and Jack Martin Smith and memorable costumes by Vittorio Nino Novarese. The basic thrust of the storyline is twofold; against the wars conducted by vigorous and all-too-worldly Pope Julius, the war to win secular hegemony for his Papal rule, the counter-current is Michelangelo's desire to further his career in Rome by obtaining a commission from the Pope. He does, an assignment to refurbish the Sistine Chapel for him. But after an attempt at some saints, he leaves Rome, and flees to his beloved Carrara. There, surrounded by mountains, he has a vision at sunset and suddenly knows what he must do. Obtaining Julius's reluctant permission, he sets to work covering that modest ceiling with tremendous figures, a bearded Jehovah, a recumbent Adam touched to life by a divine spark, the world's most famous fresco painted from a homemade scaffolding; in spite of illness, missed meals, filth, deprivation, cold, an injury that nearly costs him his eye and more, including the Pope's indifference to his intense passion for his art, Michelangelo endures. "When will you make an end?" Julius cries. "When I have done," the artist insists. And at the end, Julius, beaten on the field of battle, admits he may also have been wrong about the ceiling...that his fostering of Michelangelo's work may be the most important thing he has ever done. Of course the puritans of the era object to the nakedness the artist has depicted, but Michelangelo says he painted people as God made them. The movie, based on the biography "The Agony and the Ecstacy" by Irving Stone here concentrates on a seminal moment in the great artist's career. He may be a sculptor as he insists; but after seeing this moving and fascinating film, no one can doubt that he is also a stubborn and single-minded man--and a painter of genius. Most underrated; often fascinating fictionalized biography. Heston and Harrison are good, everyone else good as well. Worth seeing many times, if only for Dunne's dialogue and the scenery. 继父(fù )成雪(xuě )因(🤩)看(kàn )不(👲)惯(guàn )公司(sī )的(🍛)气(🕠)(qì )氛而(ér )辞职(zhí )，继女(🎄)杉(🚷)奈因在学校受同学欺(🍶)负(🍮)而逃学。找一家(jiā )能同(👟)(tó(🚴)ng )时接(jiē )受父(fù(🐇) )女两(liǎ(🚺)ng )人的(de )公司(sī )失败(🕹)(bài )后，他(🤲)们办了一家家庭(🔥)公司，内(🐏)容是为人们提供(🚎)各种(zhǒ(😝)ng )服务(wù )。第(dì )一笔(✉)(bǐ )业务(🈴)(wù )是做(zuò )两个(🚖)小(🐰)时的家务。第二笔(🕛)业务(🔌)是(🚎)成雪陪前妻红子(⚡)聊天，红(🔼)子当年觉得与工(🐤)作狂成(🎢)雪在一起(qǐ )很(🥝)乏(🗂)(fá )味便(biàn )跟另(lìng )一个(🤺)(gè(🔇) )男人(rén )走了(le )，现(xiàn )在觉(👭)(jià(🈂)o )得自己那时很幼稚。每(🦋)天(🦓)早上成雪为杉(🐝)奈辅导(🦐)功(gōng )课，从不(bú )让(🥖)杉(shān )奈(🎀)单(dān )独工(gōng )作，杉(🍑)奈(nài )深(🍠)深(shēn )感到了继父(⛳)对自己(🏎)的关心和保护。公(🐬)司业务(🗺)越来(lái )越忙(má(🔱)ng )，在(🗻)(zài )为一(yī )位老(lǎ(🙀)o )人调(👯)(dià(🛫)o )电视机时他们看(❇)到红子(🌝)住的公寓发生火(🅿)灾，成雪奋不顾身冲进(🧡)红(😑)子的房间抢救出了一(😁)枚(🐭)樱(yīng )花贝(bèi )壳，那是(shì(🥫) )红(✴)子(zǐ )十九(jiǔ )岁时(shí )与(🚕)成(chéng )雪在(zài )海边(😤)散步时(♎)拾到的。成雪严重(🛣)烧伤住(🍓)院，妻子良(liáng )子急(🈹)(jí )得晕(🏆)(yūn )过去(qù )，与(yǔ )成(🛤)雪(xuě )住(🕓)同(tóng )一病(bìng )房。醒(🚸)来的成雪告诉良子自(🌉)己(🕡)与她在一起是最(🍝)幸福(🛳)的(🏣)(de )事。杉奈(nài )将樱(yī(🚗)ng )花贝(bè(⏳)i )壳交(jiāo )给红(hóng )子(📒)，红子久久沉思不语。对(👍)于(🔺)长大成人的杉奈来说(♉)，那(🛡)段愉快的时光就像每(😧)天(🌽)都是暑(shǔ )假。 清贫(pín )的(🚺)女(nǚ )学生(shēng )彩子(🛳)(zǐ )因生(🐉)(shēng )活所(suǒ )迫与(yǔ(♈) )供职于(🔦)高校的医学副教(🕴)授泷川(🈹)亮吉（小泽荣太(🚀)郎(láng ) 饰(🤥)）结婚(hūn )，然(rán )两(♍)人(rén )性格(gé )年龄(líng )皆(👽)有(🛠)(yǒu )较大(dà )差距，婚(👕)后生(🛅)活(🛹)并不和谐。泷川的(📧)学生幸(🏘)田（川(chuān )口浩(hà(🙇)o ) 饰）适时(shí )走入(rù )他(🎐)们(😉)(men )的生(shēng )活，这让彩子既(🕦)感(😭)欣慰，有承受更大的痛(✴)苦(⬆)。 布莉（费莉西蒂·哈(😷)弗曼 Felicity Huffman 饰）是个性(✊)别(bié )倒(🚋)错(cuò )者，生就(jiù )男(🍒)儿(ér )身(🎐)的(de )他自(zì )幼认(rè(👜)n )为自(zì(🍶) )己应该是女人，因(✅)此成年(🍧)后一直努力工作(🌨)赚钱，一直(zhí )接受(shòu )荷(👼)尔(👤)(ěr )蒙治(zhì )疗，分步(🦏)(bù )骤(😁)实(💷)(shí )行变(biàn )性手术(⏮)。就在最(🆓)后一步正式“去势(🔞)”的前夕，布(bù )莉接(jiē )到(🖨)来(🗒)(lái )自纽(niǔ )约的(de )意外(wà(✖)i )消(🧦)息(xī )，原来他有个儿子(🍦)，是(💷)当年不小心的结果，如(🏷)今快要成年，但当(🐆)街卖身(🙇)因此被警察拘(jū(🎈) )留。布莉(🏛)(lì )硬着(zhe )头皮(pí )到(🎨)纽(niǔ )约(😴)见(jiàn )到儿(ér )子陶(💥)(táo )比（(🛳)凯文·齐格斯 Kevin Zegers 饰(🎤)），隐瞒真实身份带他(🐃)一(😫)路(lù )开车(chē )回家(🌍)(jiā )，一(👿)(yī(🤽) )路相(xiàng )处布(bù )莉(🥘)慢(màn )慢(♌)了(le )解陶(táo )比对找(👰)到生父的执念，而陶比(⛽)竟(🍅)然爱上这位“大(dà )嫂”，这(⬆)(zhè(🍓) )段古(gǔ )怪关(guān )系将(jiā(👌)ng )以(🏤)怎(zěn )样的方式揭开真(📆)相…… 平凡的一(☕)天，供职(🚹)于洛杉矶某银行(🤭)的经理(🙃)玛丽·沃什（布(🏝)莉特(tè(🔙) )妮·墨菲(fēi ) Brittany Murphy 饰）(🉐)请假(jiǎ(🐗) )陪同(tóng )男友(yǒu )凯(🐠)文(wén )·皮(pí )特森（迪(🏌)恩(🏇)·凯恩 Dean Cain 饰）去做(🎼)一项(🍒)常(🛁)规的韧带手术(shù(📓) )。一(yī )切(🍻)看(kàn )似正(zhèng )常，但(🏙)是(shì )自从(cóng )玛丽(lì )离(⛹)开(🗜)(kāi )手术室后便再未见(🌞)过(😧)凯文。由于等候过于漫(🚷)长(🔚)，她请(qǐng )求服(fú )务台(tá(🤮)i )查询(xún )手术(shù )情(🏼)况(kuàng )，结(😫)果发现并没有凯(👆)文的治(🏭)疗记录，原定的主(➖)刀医生(💭)休假，连当初接待(🎌)的护士(🔮)也查无(wú )此人(ré(🐗)n )。警(jǐng )方随(suí )后介(jiè )入(🚤)调(🖍)(diào )查，结果(guǒ )依旧(🥜)(jiù )一(🏉)无(💠)所获。警方和医院(🍰)负责人(🙂)大为光火，他们开(🔪)(kāi )始怀(huái )疑玛(mǎ )丽所(😡)(suǒ(🍭) )说的(de )一切(qiē )，甚(shèn )至认(🍏)(rè(👃)n )为她(tā )精神出现问题(😺)。真(🤓)相究竟如何？凯文到(😨)底又在何(hé )方？(🈳) 18岁的(de )亚(🤒)莉(lì )克欧(ōu )文斯(🐾)(sī )对舞(🌂)(wǔ )蹈有一份狂爱(🐈)，由于现(🍐)实生活的压力，白(🌂)天在一(🎃)家铁工厂担任焊(🍝)工，晚上在当地一家酒(📡)吧(🕞)(ba )演出(chū )，全(quán )片刻(🎮)(kè )画(🚅)亚(🎥)(yà )莉克(kè )追求(qiú(🏓) )理想(xiǎ(🦆)ng )、独立与爱情的(🔽)奋斗过程。 主题曲由艾(🌛)伦(🔍)卡拉主(zhǔ )唱，支支(zhī )动(🈁)听(🖐)(tīng )，舞(wǔ )曲风(fēng )靡全(quá(⛏)n )球(💛)。 这部(bù )电影是伍迪·(💅)格斯的优秀传记(⛑)，他是美(🌁)国最伟大(dà )的民(🍩)(mín )谣歌(🚒)(gē )手之(zhī )一。他在(💬)(zài )上世(💘)(shì )纪30年代离开了(🏧)自己位(📇)于得克萨斯州的(🍦)家，去找工作，发现了美(💇)国(🎟)工人阶级的苦难(🔡)和力(🌎)量(🔸)。
