Seabiscuit / 奔腾年代的评论   ****


   影片很平实,但是几段对白却给人留下深刻的印象。
  
   查尔斯霍华德每到一处就召集人们去看他的马比赛,但以下的这段话,又何尝不是给那些失业的人们以鼓励呢:
   We all are here today, because this is a horse who won’t give up, even when life beats him by a nose. But, everybody loses a couple. And you either park up and you go home, or you keep fighting.
  
   影片结尾,瘸了的瑞德波拉德骑着伤愈的海饼干冲向终点,内心独白是这样的:
   You know, everybody thinks we found this broken-down horse and fix him, but we didn’t. He fixed us. Every one of us, and I guess, in a way, we kind of fixed each other, too.
  
   为什么有人愿意为自己的理想而不顾一切,甚至以生命为代价,因为没有目标的生活,真的比死还难受。人生在世,没什么抛不下的。
  
   We never know how high we are till we are called to rise.
   And then, if we are true to plan, our statures touch the skies.
   The heroism we recite would be a daily thing, did not ourselves the cubits warp, for fear to be a king.
  
   --Emily Dickinson
  
   真是一部好片子,没有浪费我一个下午的时间。
  
  
  (注:我一直想找到Emily Dickinson这首诗的全文,但没有成功,如果那位网友知道的话,请给我留言。)

  We never know how high we are till we are called to rise.
     And then, if we are true to plan, our statures touch the skies.
     The heroism we recite would be a daily thing, did not ourselves the cubits warp, for fear to be a king.
  
  已经很完整了 全诗就这么长

  当赛马的精神跟那个特殊时代的历史相联系的时候,我们得到了更多关于我们自身的东西

  给我留下深刻印象的是摄影,镜头运用的方式。花了很多的力气在上面啊。。。

  以为看赛车才会这么有激情的,看到电影中马蹄声,在原野中驰骋那也绝对是另外一种新潮澎湃...

  很高兴认识大家--因为这部电影.几年里我陆续看了十多遍.每一次都有更深的收获.
  We never know how high we are (1176)
  by Emily Dickinson
  
  
  We never know how high we are
   Till we are called to rise;
  And then, if we are true to plan,
   Our statures touch the skies—
  
  The Heroism we recite
   Would be a daily thing,
  Did not ourselves the Cubits warp
   For fear to be a King—
  
  我在google上找的结果就是:(可能,而且我认为也是)一共就这么长.我觉得,这首诗到"For fear to be a king-"结尾是最完美的结果了.
