百年50部英文燒腦電影賞析:[2]Buried 埋葬

Buried may be claustrophobic in scale, but its impact is immense.

《埋葬》可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致人們?cè)谝欢ǔ潭壬匣加拈]恐怖癥,但它的影響是巨大的。

——Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Buried works not because Ryan Reynolds is good(he is)but because director Rodrigo Cortes is even better.

《埋葬》能產(chǎn)生這樣的影響,不是因?yàn)槿鸲?middot;雷諾茲很棒(他確實(shí)很棒),而是因?yàn)閷?dǎo)演羅德里格·科特茲更加出色。

——Joshua Tyler, CinemaBlend.com

It shouldn't work, but it does. Buried is a gripping and tense film, thanks to a great script, unusual concept, and a fantastic performance from Ryan Reynolds.

它本不應(yīng)該有太大影響,但它做到了。《埋葬》是一部讓人精神緊張且引人入勝的影片,多虧了這么好的劇本、這么不同尋常的概念,以及瑞恩·雷諾茲的出色表演。

——Steven J

On October 23, 2006, Paul Conroy(Ryan Reynolds), an American civilian truck driver based in Iraq, awakens buried alive in a wooden coffin, bound and gagged, with only a Zippo and a BlackBerry. Although he initially has no idea how he got there, he soon starts to piece together what has happened to him. He remembers that he and several other trucks were ambushed by insurgents, who killed his colleagues before he himself was hit by a rock and passed out. He receives a call from his kidnapper, demanding that he pay a ransom of $5 million or else they will leave him in the coffin to die. Conroy calls the State Department, which tells him that due to their government policy of not negotiating with terrorists, they will not pay the ransom but will try to rescue him regardless. They connect him with Dan Brenner(Robert Paterson), head of the Hostage Working Group, who tells Conroy they are doing their best to find him. His kidnapper calls Conroy back and demands he make a ransom video, threatening to execute one of his colleagues who survived the attack. Despite complying with their demands, the kidnappers execute his colleague and send him the video, which he watches in horror. Shortly afterwards, distant explosions shake the area, damaging his coffin which begins to slowly fill with sand Conroy continues sporadic phonecalls with Brenner, skeptical of the man's promises of help. To reaffirm his wholehearted intentions, Brenner tells Conroy about a man named Mark White who was rescued from a similar situation two weeks prior, telling him that the man was home with his family and likely happy.

Later on, Conroy receives a phone call from his employers, who inform him that he was fired from his job due to his fraternizing with the colleague that was executed, and thus he and his family will not be entitled to any benefits or pension he earned during his time with the company. Brenner calls back and explains that the explosions that had damaged his coffin earlier were in fact several F-15 bombings, and that his kidnappers may have been killed. Conroy begins to lose all hope and does a last will and testament in video form, giving his son all of his clothes and his wife his personal savings. His kidnapper calls back demanding that Conroy video record him cutting his finger off, threatening Conroy's family back home in Michigan if he refuses, saying himself that he lost all of his children. Conroy films himself cutting off one of his fingers and sends the video.

After some minutes, Brenner calls, notifying Conroy that they had found his location and are driving out to find him. After that, his wife Linda Conroy(Samantha Mathis)calls him, who heard it on the news and left her phone at home. She cries with him and begs him to promise her that he will come home. He promises, but hangs up due to needing to attend to the sand which is now filling the coffin to dangerous levels, giving him seconds to live. Brenner calls Conroy again, and reports that they found the site. The group starts to dig up a coffin, but Conroy cannot hear them jumping on the coffin. When they open it, the coffin turns out to be that of Mark White's and not Conroy's, indicating that Mark White was never saved. Paul starts to cry as the battery on the phone runs dead, and he slowly suffocates as the sand fills up the coffin. The last thing he hears is Brenner, repeating, “I'm sorry, Paul. I'm so sorry.”

2006年10月23日,一名美國(guó)籍卡車司機(jī)保爾·康瑞(瑞恩·雷諾茲飾)在伊拉克遭遇綁架,醒來(lái)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己躺在一具被固定密封的棺材里,身邊只有一只打火機(jī)和一部手機(jī)。他開(kāi)始回想自己是怎么來(lái)到這里的,尋找記憶碎片時(shí),他記起來(lái)包括他的車在內(nèi),有幾輛卡車遭到反動(dòng)派的埋伏,他的同事慘遭殺害,他也被石塊砸中昏過(guò)去了。這時(shí)綁架者打來(lái)電話,叫他準(zhǔn)備五百萬(wàn)美元的贖金,否則就在棺材里等死??等鸫蚪o美國(guó)政府,依照政府規(guī)定,美國(guó)是不會(huì)和恐怖分子進(jìn)行談判的,也不會(huì)支付贖金,但是會(huì)去解救康瑞。政府把電話轉(zhuǎn)接到人質(zhì)解救部門主管丹·伯納(羅伯特·帕特森飾)那里,他表示會(huì)盡全力搜救康瑞。綁架者又聯(lián)系康瑞,叫他制作一段討要贖金的錄像,否則就將其中一名幸存的同事撕票??等饾M足了他們的要求,然而綁架者并沒(méi)有遵守承諾,將他的同事撕票并制成了錄像發(fā)給了他,這讓康瑞毛骨悚然。隨后,遠(yuǎn)處發(fā)生的數(shù)次爆炸影響到棺材所在地,棺材外面開(kāi)始瀉沙進(jìn)來(lái)??等饝岩刹{是否會(huì)履行救助的承諾,不斷給他打電話,為了重申自己的誠(chéng)意,伯納告訴康瑞,他們就在兩周前還成功解救了一名與他情況相似的受害者馬克·懷特,此時(shí)懷特正在家中和家人享受天倫之樂(lè)。

后來(lái),康瑞接到他雇主的電話,通知他,由于他與那名被撕票的同事稱兄道弟,公司決定開(kāi)除康瑞,并且不會(huì)給他和他家人支付他工作期間的福利和津貼。伯納也打來(lái)電話說(shuō),之前影響到棺材的幾次爆炸是來(lái)自F-15戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)的轟炸,綁架者可能已被炸死。康瑞開(kāi)始陷入絕望,他錄制了遺囑和遺言,把自己的衣物留給兒子,把存款留給妻子。這時(shí)候綁架者打來(lái)電話,要求康瑞錄制一段切除自己一根手指的視頻,威脅他如果不這樣做,他遠(yuǎn)在密西根的孩子便會(huì)遭遇不測(cè)。于是,康瑞按要求錄下了視頻發(fā)給綁架者。

在短暫的幾分鐘后,伯納打來(lái)電話告知康瑞,他們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)棺材所在地,并驅(qū)車前往拯救。之后妻子琳達(dá)·康瑞(薩曼莎·瑪西絲飾)打來(lái)電話,她把手機(jī)落在家里了,從新聞上得知了丈夫的消息,哭著懇求他一定要活著回來(lái)。康瑞一邊答應(yīng)著,另一邊由于沙子已經(jīng)上升到危險(xiǎn)的程度,不得不掛斷電話。伯納再次打來(lái)電話,告知已經(jīng)找到棺材埋藏地點(diǎn),拯救隊(duì)伍開(kāi)始挖棺材,而康瑞卻聽(tīng)不到他們跳上棺材的聲音。當(dāng)他們打開(kāi)棺材,發(fā)現(xiàn)里面的人不是康瑞而是馬克·懷特,這意味著懷特從未被解救。手機(jī)的電量不足,康瑞因絕望而開(kāi)始哭泣,隨著沙子一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)漫上來(lái),他逐漸窒息,他最后聽(tīng)到的是,伯納在電話那頭不停地說(shuō):“保爾,對(duì)不起,對(duì)不起。”

Ryan Reynolds and Rodrigo Cortés Interviewed by Bill Goodykoontz

Question: It's an obvious question, but how did you get this film made?

Reynolds: I had a similar feeling going into it. My biggest concern going into it was, “There's no way a financier is going to allow us to do this with 100 percent authenticity.” It was Rodrigo who said, in no uncertain terms, “Yes, we are going to do it that way, and only that way.”

Cortés: I was never concerned. I should have(been), but I was not. I just felt enthusiasm when I read the script because I saw the possibility of doing something that had never been done... I did this to trust my guts... I saw that there was a film there. I just had to find a way to shoot it.

Q: For how much of the production were you actually in the coffin?

Reynolds: The whole time. Halfway through the film, I'm buried, quite literally, in the coffin(in sand), so just getting into the set was a challenge. There're guys with shovels putting in all the sand. But above me, the top of the lid is off so that we can see in, I have a camera crew above me. You're feeling pretty stuck in there. There's no getting out.

Cortés: He was always inside a box. He lives everything that you see in the film. Even when you see the sand ... everything is actually happening. People leave the film 4 pounds lighter because it's a physical experience……The blood is his.

Q: It seems like a dream role.

Reynolds: It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you don't pass up. But in the beginning, I kind of passed it up. I just thought it was impossible.

百年50部英文燒腦電影賞析:[2]Buried 埋葬

問(wèn)題:大家都很好奇,你們是如何拍攝這部影片的?

雷諾茲:我也曾懷疑過(guò),我最關(guān)心的問(wèn)題是:是否有投資商同意我們用百分百真實(shí)的手法拍攝?然而羅德里格卻很肯定地說(shuō):“對(duì),我們就要用真實(shí)的手法,而且只能這樣拍。”

科特茲:雖然我應(yīng)該關(guān)心這個(gè)問(wèn)題,然而實(shí)際上我從未想過(guò)。我在看完劇本后非常激動(dòng),覺(jué)得自己能做一件史無(wú)前例的事情,我堅(jiān)信我的直覺(jué),并且敢于把這個(gè)拍成電影,接下來(lái)的問(wèn)題就是如何去拍攝。

問(wèn)題:片中你有多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間呆在棺材里?

雷諾茲:我一直在棺材里,影片播到一半的時(shí)候,我便被沙子慢慢地活埋,那是真實(shí)的場(chǎng)景。因此對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),每次進(jìn)入拍攝現(xiàn)場(chǎng)都是一項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)。有工作人員用鏟子將沙子填入棺材,棺材上面沒(méi)有蓋子以便于拍攝,在我的上方有一組拍攝人員。那種感覺(jué)真的是被困在里面,沒(méi)有辦法出來(lái)。

科特茲:他一直在箱子里。他在那兒度過(guò)所有時(shí)間,就像你在影片中看到的那樣。即使當(dāng)你看到那些沙子……一切都在真的發(fā)生。人們拍完這部影片都輕了4磅,因?yàn)檫@是對(duì)生理的一種考驗(yàn)……那血也是他的。

問(wèn)題:這似乎是一個(gè)夢(mèng)想中的角色。

雷諾茲:這是一個(gè)千載難逢的機(jī)會(huì),你不會(huì)錯(cuò)過(guò)的。但是在開(kāi)始的時(shí)候,我差點(diǎn)錯(cuò)過(guò)了。我只是認(rèn)為這是不可能的。

在2007年之前,羅德里格·科特茲的作品多以短片為主,而且常常短得令人難以置信,一部名為《Dirt Devil》的作品時(shí)長(zhǎng)僅僅2分鐘,這還不算最短的,《Dentro》更是只有1分鐘時(shí)長(zhǎng)。不過(guò),羅德里格·科特茲的短片作品卻以巧妙的構(gòu)思獲得評(píng)論界好評(píng),或許也是在這樣的鍛煉和實(shí)驗(yàn)過(guò)程中,他才構(gòu)思出了《活埋》這樣詭異巧妙的作品。

在這部電影中,羅德里格·科特茲試圖營(yíng)造一種不安和懸疑的氛圍,一種不一樣的驚悚感覺(jué)。為什么男主角在這樣一個(gè)如同地獄一般的棺材里?他究竟該如何逃出這里?這部影片巧妙地制造了一種求解饑渴,觀眾被這種氣氛深深感染,迫切地想知道真相。
