    伤城 | Confession of Pain

    终于看了伤城。很细腻的片子,独特的叙事手法。
     
    罪案片特别是有关复仇的故事本是老掉牙的题材,但是经刘伟强和麦兆辉一番折腾,在故事一开始就把凶手公之于众的情况下,影片依然丝丝入扣,大小悬念轮番轰炸,并且还保持了结构的紧凑。实在过瘾。
    虽然几乎是无间道的原班人马,但在表现力上依然有超越。对摄影的剪辑干脆利落,镜头行云流水却又从容淡定,甚至有慢悠悠的感觉。对白跟摄影的配合近乎完美,造成了许多本来不是悬念的悬念。比如说金城武第一次去澳门调查完回来,在酒吧跟梁朝伟说如此这般,让人以为他已经知道梁就是凶手。美中不足的是两位女主角的台词都比较苍白,在这么古灵精怪的电影推理过程中更显老套。
     
    讲到短板呢,那个网上已经有很多人指出的关于乒乓球拍作为破案最终突破口过于牵强的问题我就懒得说了。想说的是展现乒乓球拍的那个镜头。前面那么多个由镜头制造的悬念都很成功,而这个最关键的镜头却过于做作。在观众快要看清楚球拍上的字的时候镜头突然切换,好像摆明了跟我们说,偏不给你看到上面写什么!很有听说书的那句“欲知后事如何,请听下回分解”的感觉。
     
    其次就是点题不够。“伤”表现到了,“城”的概念却不到位。电影里的“城”就是香港的几个空镜头,再有就是吹牛光在电话里抱怨了两句天气阴沉空气质量不好。没有人的生活的城,如何能引起观众的“伤”?
     
    最后本人一个有趣的observation:女观众对这电影的评价远比男观众的要好。而且女观众普遍喜欢它胜于无间道,男观众则意见不一,有不少人甚至是以无间道的框框来期待伤城的。个人以为男女观众对电影情节的期望值和思维方式有本质区别,伤城是发散式联想思维的故事情节,无间道是按逻辑因果发展的故事情节。所以刘伟强把伤城定位为推理片我觉得没有道理。
