The Darwin Awards / 达尔文奖的评论   

　　前俩天央六竟然放了《莎翁情史》，记得n年前看的时候没有看懂，这次依然，当然还发现joseph fiennes那时的长相依然还是很鲜亮的。
　　
　　于是乎，今天看完了joseph同学2006年和复出的winona ryder演的这部戏。不管别人评论如何，刚刚看完时，我觉得它可以进我今年个人的“三强“。
　　
　　首先，不排除中国人（或者我）对darwin awards的不熟悉，而导致的对这个电影脑筋一热的喜欢。达尔文奖这个东西是真的存在的，http://darwinawards.com/，每年评选出有着超级愚蠢的意外死因的人，颁这个奖来奖励他自动退出人类进化的行列，从而迂回的改善了人类的基因……fiennes演的一个有恐血症的，在家怕火灾出门怕车撞、大门不出二门不迈的，但是对事件背后的起因有着超级的分析能力的前罪犯模拟专家，也是个达尔文奖的追捧者。被辞退以后，找到一家大保险公司，分析了种种出于意外的，愚蠢的，但是让保险公司索赔大大的死亡原因，提出如果让人们提前知道这些“特点“，死亡人数大大减少，保险公司从而获益～。然后～和ryder扮演的保险公司调查员开始了调查和总结过程……
　　
　　好了，我把剧情复述了一遍，相信看完之后，一个感觉，great~超级喜剧～
　　是的，尽管是事件的超级整合，这个电影看起来还是很有意思，虽然fiennes大叔真的越来越象大叔可以跟nicolas cage平起平坐，ryder眼角的皱纹的确让她看起来很老，但是，后来我想了想，我到最后竟然不知道它到底要说什么？！告诉我们“得了达尔文奖的人也是人？““他们也有获得尊重的权利？“？哦ho ～最后把大家都涮了一通。
　　
　　相信导演编剧为了电影讲的巧妙下了很多功夫，但是，就是每个细节，每个桥段都多了那么一点点，当然，对于我们这些对达尔文奖并不熟悉的人，仍然算是一部新奇的电影.
　　
　　不过fiennes的角色能力简直就是超能力，肯定是“处女座跟巨蟹座的完美结合“（参考那个超级强烈的危机意识和细节整合能力）。三个特点可以预测一个结果。一个结果也可以回推俩个理由hoho。
　　还找到一段国外观众写的评论，也许他们真的期望太高。
　　
　　
Comedy Not Fit to Survive, 27 January 2006

Author: wmjaho from Park City
　　This was a movie I was really looking forward to at Sundance. We're all familiar with the Darwin Awards, a website started by Stanford molecular biologist Wendy Northcutt to humorously recognize extremely stupid acts that lead to self-inflicted, accidental death. Northcutt's notion is that the human gene pool improves when these tragi-comic figures, who are presumably plagued by genetic stupidity, are removed from the population. Hence the Darwin Awards (www.darwinawards.com).

It sounds like a terrific premise for an outrageous comedy and like the rest of the audience I was licking my chops. Unfortunately, this movie was about as funny as Origin of the Species. Director Finn Taylor has made a couple of refreshingly oddball films (Dreams with the Fishes, Cherish) but The Darwin Awards fails on almost every level.

The concept was probably doomed from the outset by the decision to incorporate a bunch of award-winning events into a linear storyline, including madcap crime investigations and a little love interest. Casting Joseph Fiennes and Wynona Ryder as the leads was the second mistake, as neither of them was right for their parts (and despite their efforts, came off very flat). Follow that with writing that is simply not very clever and you have a disappointing movie.

The vignettes do include some great casting choices, including Chris Penn, Tim Blake Nelson, David Arquette and Metallica. But unfortunately, they are lost in the woeful script, and give us only the occasional funny moment.

As many have heard, actor Chris Penn was found dead at his Santa Monica home the day of the Sundance premiere. Finn Taylor had some nice words to say about Chris prior to the screening. And afterwards Winona Ryder, who had known Chris for 15 years, spoke at length about him. "He wasn't just Sean's younger brother," she said. It was a genuinely nice tribute.
