Cumberbatch has Assange off to a tee, but this buddy movie is marred by pastiche
康伯巴奇把阿桑奇演的很到位,只可惜這部『夥伴電影』被東拼西湊的劇情搞砸了
(budy movie is a film genre in which two people of the same sex are paired)

Playing 茱莉亞n Assange in cinema’s long-awaited take on the story of Wikileaks, Benedict Cumberbatch performs a masterclass in mimicry as the awkward Australian. He has the slow, deliberate vocal delivery, the gait and the gesticulations down perfectly. It’s a shame, then, that the performance is let down by some clumsy storytelling that trots out the usual cliche and criticisms of the Wikileaks founders as a socially inept egotist, motived as much by his own celebrity as by a desire to help whistle-blowers.

在萬眾期待的維基解密的故事終於被搬上大螢幕之際,扮演朱利安·阿桑奇這一角色的英國演員本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇在這部電影中用大師級的演技(故作深思熟慮又緩慢的語調以及精妙的步伐和略向下的手勢)把一個奇怪的澳洲人詮釋地惟妙惟肖。不過令人遺憾的是康伯巴奇的神演技在本片笨拙的敘事技巧下被拖垮成了再乏味不過了的老調重彈。故事中也充斥著對維基解密創始者的批評態度,認為他不過是一個有社交障礙的自大狂,而他之所以想去幫助那些泄密者也是出於讓自己出名的私心。

The Fifth Estate is played out through the friendship and subsequent rivalry of Assange and his fellow website activist Daniel Domscheit-Berg, played by Daniel Bruhl.

危機解密這部電影通篇故事情節是在兩位男主角, 朱利安·阿桑奇以及他的朋友(網站建立者之一)丹尼爾·多姆沙伊特-伯格,之間的友情建立直至隨後而來的矛盾衝突這一過程而逐漸展開的。其中,丹尼爾·多姆沙伊特-伯格是由德國演員丹尼爾·布魯赫扮演(豆瓣影人寫的出生地是西班牙,我就自以為了。。多謝網友指正)。

Unlike Assange, Domscheit-Berg is depicted as a crusading idealist who is initially enraptured by his counterpart’s desire to stick to the man. But the fact that he is the hero of the piece should come as no surprise given that the film is based partly on Domscheit-Berg’s own memoir about Wikileaks.

和阿桑奇不同的是,丹尼爾·多姆沙伊特-伯格在片中被描述成了一個奮勇向前的理想主義者,並且在最初的時候被阿桑奇的追求所感染而義無返顧地選擇支持他。關於丹尼爾在電影裡轉而化身為了英雄這一情節設置其實並不出乎意料,如果考慮到這部電影本身就是根據丹尼爾·多姆沙伊特-伯格本人出版的關於維基解密的回憶錄中的片段而改編的。(書名Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with 茱莉亞n Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website)

This is classic buddy movie storytelling - the young idealist slowly discovering the foibles and hypocrisy of the flawed master - but the simple characterizations have more in common with the director Bill Condon’s Twilight films than with his more nuanced 2004 biopic of the sex scientist Alfred Kinsey.

『年輕的理想主義者逐漸發現了漏洞百出的體制中的缺陷和虛偽』是這部電影走的經典類型片敘述模式。但是其中略發蒼白的人物刻畫更像是比爾·康頓的另一部片子『暮光之城』裡面的人,甚至都還不遠不及他2004年拍那部人物刻畫細膩的關於性學教授阿爾弗雷德·金賽的傳記電影。(電影豆瓣連結http://movie.douban.com/subject/1308960/)

Sex is largely off the menu here. Berg is handed a poor love story, in which his forlorn girlfriend Anke, played by Alicia Vikander, is rejected in favour of his desire to help Assange.

電影裡基本上沒有關於性的描寫。伯格在這部電影裡被設置了一處很糟糕的戀情。他的那位處於絕望中的女朋友(由瑞典演員艾麗西卡·維坎德扮演)甚至因為伯格想要幫助阿桑奇而遭到了被甩的命運。

There are hints that Assange is too forward with women, but the accusations of sexual abuse in Sweden that have left the activist languishing in the Ecuadorian embassy are not mentioned until the closing titles.

雖然電影中也有一些關於阿桑奇痴迷女色的暗示,但對於他在瑞典被起訴性虐待以導致他本人不得不在厄瓜多大使館絕望地長期駐留這件事卻直至影片結尾開始打出全體成員名單的時候才有所提及。

Instead the action deals with the period from 2007 - when Assange met Domscheit-Berg at the Chaos Computer Club annual conference - until their relationship came to an end after Wikileaks』 famous leak of classified American intelligence supplied by the recently jailed Bradley Manning in 2010.

影片選擇截取的時間段是從2007年當阿桑奇和伯格在『電腦搗亂者俱樂部』的年會上相識直到2010年他們的關係因為維基解密最著名的美國機密情報泄密事件而破裂(機密情報的提供者布蘭德雷·曼寧今日被捕入獄, 並且轉變性別改名為Chelsea Elizabeth Manning ORZ)

As they become friends, we learn more about Assange - his absent father, his mother dating a cult leader when he was 13, and a 19-yeas-old son he hasn』t seen in over a year.

在影片中,當阿桑奇和伯格成為朋友的時候,關於阿桑奇的身世做了較多的描述。觀眾可以了解到阿桑奇在父親這一角色缺失的情況下長大,在他十三歲的時候他的媽媽和一個宗教的領袖式的人物有過一段戀情。並且阿桑奇本人也有一個已經一年多時間未曾謀面的19歲兒子(名叫 Daniel Assange, 這難道是阿桑奇和伯格的愛的結晶?!)

David Thewlis, playing the journalist 尼克 Davis, laments the demise of print journalism and the financial squeeze on quality news reporting.

扮演其中另一位記者尼克·戴維斯的演員,大衛·休里斯表達了他對紙質新聞的衰落和高質量新聞報導所面臨的商業利益的壓榨的哀嘆之情。

Yet he also champions the idea that print journalists still have an ethical obligation to protect sources, check stories and not to put lives in danger. It is the one part of the film where Condon ventures into anything other than pastiche.

但是他也同時表示支持紙質媒體記者仍然應該受道德約束而保護他們的消息來源,核實故事內容並且不要讓任何相關人員的生命陷入危險之中。也正是因為想闡述這樣的理念才導致比爾·康頓冒險把這個電影中關於新聞理念這一部份拍成了如今這副七零八碎的模樣。





2B的我今天在報紙上看到後小心翼翼地照下來,回到家裡照著手機一個字母一個字母地transcribe,結果等全都打完了上網一搜才發現人家官網上有原文,內容上只有slightly different,可能因為報紙篇幅的關係重新編輯了一下。所以附上連結:http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/reviews/review-the-fifth-estate--benedict-cumberbatchs-assange-might-be-perfect-but-the-wikileaks-drama-is-a-flawed-buddy-movie-8802346.html

哎呀 也不知道什麼時候能上映啊,BC油膩的大白髮造型真是虐心啊!!!trailer里最後一幕正兒八經地剪了個頭髮之後忽然覺得BC終於回歸人類外表了!!演丹尼爾這個傢伙最近出現率真是高(他也許很有名,但是他在我的觀影世界裡出現率確實不高),rush里也有他,定睛一看,不就是無恥混蛋裡的德國snapper!!我也在原文基礎上加了一些我覺得更能有用或者有人有興趣知道的資訊,完全有可能是畫蛇添足。

這個評分指數完全是根據原文報導來打的,我也還沒看所以不知道,想不打星星就寫影評結果就跳出提示說:『請你再給危機解密一個總的評價(從差到好)』。。。。

每次轉個影評不加這句話就一定會被罵,所以:我不是專業影評人,我也不是英語翻譯專業的,隨便寫的沒有太多道德責任感,所以人艱不拆好嗎,人艱不拆。。。
