2. Planet of the Apes
《人猿星球》
American astronauts (led by Charlton Heston as the gruff Taylor) crash land on a planet where sentient apes are dominant and humans are a primitive, inarticulate slave class. Ape scientists Cornelius (Roddy McDowell) and Dr. Zira (Kim Hunter) become fascinated by and protective of Taylor because he is able to speak and reason. Determined to discover the dark secret of the ape civilization's past, the cynical Taylor instead finds out that his own worst suspicions about mankind's destructive nature have been horrifically realized in the film's powerful ending. The movie spawned an entire franchise... but let's just forget about that Tim Burton-Mark Wahlberg remake, shall we?
三名美國宇航員(隊長是喬治·泰勒,查爾登·海斯頓飾)遭遇飛船失事,流落到某星球.在那里,一種有認知力的人猿主宰著世界,而人類卻成了遭受奴役的低等動物,甚至不會說話.人猿"科學家"考耐利斯(羅迪·麥克道爾飾)和吉拉(金·亨特飾)發(fā)現(xiàn)泰勒既能說話,也能思考,對他很是好奇,還保護他免受反派人猿的迫害.泰勒決定揭開人猿文明的秘密.不過,影片結(jié)尾的真相卻讓他毛骨悚然.原來,這一切的劫難,竟是由人類自己釀成的.該片有不少衍生電影,不過蒂姆·波頓攜手馬克·沃爾伯格的翻拍版,咱還是別提了為好.
Banana Bonus: Ape-human action like this...
看點:類似這種的猿與人互動……
1. King Kong
《金剛》
"It was beauty that felled the beast." These are the final lines of dialogue spoken in Merian C. Cooper's 1933 film about a giant ape and his doomed love affair with a starlet, and they only scratch the surface of King Kong's profound depths. An effects movie in a time where effects were nonexistent, Cooper's film proved to be the Jurassic Park of its day if for no other reason than its technological innovation But it remains a classic today not because of the wonderful stop-motion animation work, but its ability to render Kong as one of the silver screen's most tragic figures.
電影《金剛》拍攝于1933年.在導演梅里安·C·庫珀的鏡頭里,一只巨猿深深地愛上了一位女演員,但以悲劇收場.對于《金剛》影片的無窮深意來說,影片結(jié)尾那句"打敗野獸的,是美女"只能算是概括出了其寓意的一點皮毛.對于一個還不存在特效的時代,單就技術(shù)創(chuàng)新來講,該片可以算是當時的《侏羅紀公園》了.而撇開令人稱道的延時影像技術(shù)不論,巨猿金剛這樣一個銀屏悲劇形象,也足以讓該片躋身經(jīng)典.
Banana Bonus: It's a classic.
看點:經(jīng)典之作,無需多言.
