According to the Chinese calendar, 2016 is the year of the Monkey. We thought we'd compile a list of the greatest monkey movies ever. And before any of you hard-nosed primatologoly majors out there send us hate mail, please understand that we're using the term monkey informally, referring to all non-human simians. That includes monkeys, as well as apes like the gorilla, chimpanzee and orangutan. Now, with that technicality out of the way, here's our list of Top 10 Monkey Movies.
既然今年是農(nóng)歷猴年,我們便為大家準備了一場電影盛宴,每部片中均有猴子的身影.筆者在此事先聲明,本文所說的"猴子"泛指一切人類以外的類人猿,包括大猩猩、黑猩猩、褐猿等各類猿猴,所以請愛咬文嚼字的動物學究們就不要來信拍我們了.好了,掃清了學術(shù)上的障礙之后,接下來咱們就來看"與猴相關(guān)的十大佳片".
10. Project X
《X計劃》
If the monkey section of your DVD library doesn't include Matthew Broderick's 1987 film, Project X, then you're missing one of the essential films in the primate genre. Broderick had made a name for himself a few years earlier playing "global thermonuclear war" in WarGames, but this film from The Accused director Jonathan Kaplan sees him trade Ally Sheedy and "Joshua" in for Helen Hunt and a chimpanzee named Virgil. He plays Jimmy, an Air Force soldier who learns of an experimental military project involving chimpanzees trained to operate flight simulators. The chimp at the center of the film, Virgil, is sent to the program after the research grant of his hottie caretaker (Hunt) is not renewed. Unfortunately, the project, which involves exposure to massive pulses of radiation, has a nasty side effect for the primate participants: death. Can Jimmy save the chimp and bag the broad? We don't wanna ruin it... but yes.
這部1987年的電影由馬修·布羅德里克擔綱主演,是"猴子電影"的經(jīng)典之作.此前,布羅德里克出演《戰(zhàn)爭游戲》,過了把玩"全球熱核戰(zhàn)"的癮,名聲大噪.本片由執(zhí)導(dǎo)過《暴劫梨花》的喬納森·卡普蘭執(zhí)導(dǎo).與布羅德里克對戲的不是艾麗·西蒂,也不是詹姆斯·阿克曼,而是女星海倫·亨特與一只名叫維吉爾的黑猩猩.布羅德里克飾演主角吉米,是一名空軍戰(zhàn)士,偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了軍方訓練黑猩猩開飛機的實驗項目.亨特飾演的性感馴獸師缺少經(jīng)費,不得不將維吉爾送去做實驗.然而,"X計劃"的輻射太強,不少黑猩猩沒過多久便一命嗚呼.吉米能做一回救猩猩的英雄、同時抱得美人歸嗎？我不該劇透的……是的,他做到了.

9. Curious George
《好奇的喬治》
The 2006 animated Curious George film takes a few liberties with the classic stories created by H.A. and Margret Rey, but it stays true to the playful tone of the tales about a curious little monkey named George and his frequently exasperated owner, The Man in the Yellow Hat. The Universal Animation Studios adaptation is overwhelmingly cute at times, but never unpleasantly so. Will Ferrell voices Ted -- yes, The Man in the Yellow hat gets a name. He also gets a love interest in Drew Barrymore's Maggie. And while big-name voice actors usually equal annoying shtick, this is the rare contemporary animated film that's completely free of irony, gross-out moments, and witty pop culture references. It's sweet and simple -- the perfect animated kid flick.
這部2006年的影片改編自H·A·雷伊與瑪格麗特·雷伊的經(jīng)典童話,既保留了原作的天真風格,亦有所創(chuàng)新.本片主角是一只名叫喬治的小猴,以及它那脾氣暴躁的主人——黃帽男.本片由環(huán)球動畫出品,童趣十足,恰到好處.威爾·法瑞爾獻聲"黃帽男"泰德,片中女友瑪吉則由德魯·巴里摩爾配音.《好奇的喬治》云集諸多大牌,專為兒童打造.片中沒有冷嘲熱諷、粗口暴力,更沒有任何無腦笑梗.就這樣一部簡簡單單的兒童動畫,溫馨甜蜜.
