仔细想想,银幕上多数好故事,其实前人都反复讲过,比如越狱,从布列松到肖申克,翻来覆去,最后拍成电视剧,照样风靡一时。有的电影更偷懒,直接把犄角旮旯里的外语片拿来,重新灌肠洗胃、添油加醋拍一遍,好像把二手房重新装修,做做广告能当新房卖了,这就是重拍片。如果弄好了,照样赚钱,比如《画皮》。可见观众对故事的饥渴,不见得就越新越好。一个老套而屡试不爽的故事,如何能让观众一而再、再而三地上当,看来关键还在于怎么讲。2008年夏天最出风头的《蝙蝠侠:暗黑骑士》,某种程度上其实也是重拍,为什么一个失去天然悬念的故事依然能吸引那么多观众?好莱坞每年越来越多的重拍片,究竟是电影人的灵感在日渐枯竭,还是一门技艺承传中的自然现象?历史尘封之下,究竟还有哪些被埋没的老电影值得刨出来重拍?这真是个有意思的话题。 Think about it, most of the good stories on the screen, in fact, have repeatedly said before, such as jailbreak, from Bresson to Shawshank, over and over again, and finally made into a TV series, still popular all the rage. Some movies are more lazy, directly to the horns in the foreign language film brought, re-enema gastric lavage, exaggeration again, as if the second-hand housing renovation, advertising can be a new house sold, this is the remake. If you make it, still make money, such as “painted skin.” Visible audiences thirst for the story, not necessarily the newer the better. An old-fashioned and time-tested story, how to make the audience time and time again, it seems the key lies in how to say. The most dramatic summer of 2008, “Batman: Dark Knight”, in fact, is also a remake, why a loss of natural suspense stories still attract so many viewers? Hollywood more and more remake of the film each year, what is the movie Is human inspiration increasingly exhausted, or is it a natural phenomenon in the tradition of art? Under the dust of history, what are the buried old movies worth planing and remaking? This is an interesting topic.
