马语者 The Horse Whisperer 英文影评 review by James Berardinelli
Low, gray clouds scud acro the sky while the gra of a seemingly-endle plain ripples in response to the prompting of a spring breeze.Thunder rumbles in the distance.On another day, a bright sun gazes down on those same fields while cattle roam from horizon to horizon.The silhouette of a lone cowboy on horseback stands out against an evening skyline.Above these vistas, the Rocky Mountains tower like implacable guardians, seeing all.These are only some of the images from The Horse Whisperer, a film as rich in its visual presentation as it is in its emotional resonance.As directed by veteran actor/film maker Robert Redford, The Horse Whisperer is a powerful and moving tale of love and lo that eschews melodramatic manipulation in its pursuit of a simple, honest tale.I have not read the best-selling novel by Nicholas Evans upon which the movie is based, but if it's as good as(or better than)the motion picture adaptation, it's easy to understand its appeal.As a director, Redford has made some impreive films;this is among his best.The Horse Whisperer opens peacefully enough, with two teenage girls leaving their houses in the early morning hours for a horseback ride.The sunrise is brilliant, and, as snow begins to fall later in the day, the fields and forest are turned into a winter wonderland of blues and silvers.Everything is picture perfect until tragedy strikes, brutally and without warning.One of the girls' mounts loses his footing on the icy ground and, suddenly, the two friends are in the path of a skidding 18-wheeler.One girl and her horse die.The other pair, Grace MacLean(Scarlett Johanon), and her beloved steed, Pilgrim, are badly injured.Grace loses the lower half of one leg.Pilgrim is driven mad, and everyone advises that he be put to sleep.Grace's parents, Annie and Robert MacLean(Kristin Scott Thomas and Sam Neill), are ill-prepared to help their daughter cope with her physical disability and the mental scars of having seen her best friend run down by an out-of-control truck.Annie decides that Grace's recovery will be aided if she can find a way to heal Pilgrim(the film's only dubious contrivance).So, with her daughter and the horse in tow, Annie heads out to Montana, where a legendary “horse whisperer,” Tom Booker(Robert Redford), lives and works on a ranch.After seeing Pilgrim, Tom agrees to try to help the horse, and so begins a long period of restoration for four souls: Pilgrim, Grace, Annie, and Tom.Those of a romantic nature may focus on the understated relationship between Annie and Tom, but that's just one aspect of a story of great depth.The Horse Whisperer is about the healing power of love.Like Atom Egoyan's masterpiece, The Sweet Hereafter, this film eloquently illustrates how difficult it is to recover from a life-altering trauma, and how the ripples from such an event can affect those who were not directly involved.Everyone in this film has their own demons to wrestle with.Grace, who retreats into a sullen cocoon after the accident, is raw on the inside, but won't let it out.She resents her mother's emotional distance and is frightened that the lo of her leg makes her usele and will doom her to a life alone.(“Nobody will want me like this!”)Annie, who is used to being in charge, doesn't know how to cope with the situation, and, when she takes the time to examine her life, she recognizes how the preures of her career have leeched away her humanity.Meanwhile, Tom, who is basically at peace with himself, begins to re-discover what it means to love, something he had lost when his wife left him.There is an Oscar-caliber performance in The Horse Whisperer, but it isn't given by Redford, Scott-Thomas, or Neill.Instead, it's the work of young Scarlett Johanon, who has already proven her talent with a remarkable debut in Manny & Lo.As Grace, Johanon makes a case to be placed alongside Christina Ricci and Natalie Portman as one of the best actrees of her generation.She does everything neceary to make Grace a living and vital character, and, like all good performers, much of her acting comes through subtle expreion changes and body language.Johanon is so effective, in fact, that Grace's story becomes The Horse Whisperer's emotional core, not just a plot device whereby Tom and Annie find themselves and one another.Redford's Tom is exactly the kind of character we expect from Redford: a solid, kind, rugged man who is long on patience and rarely displays much emotion.It could be argued that the former matinee idol is a little too old for this sort of role, but, even with his features growing wrinkled and weathered, the camera still flatters him.Kristin Scott Thomas makes a worthy opposite: she's attractive(but not so stunning that she steals the spotlight away from her older co-star), mature, and a good actre.Solid support is provided by the always-reliable Sam Neill, Chris Cooper(Lone Star), and Dianne Wiest.Emotionally, The Horse Whisperer finds the perfect pitch.There's no overacting and no overt audience manipulation;we feel with and for the characters, but there's never a sense that we're being tricked into providing a particular, desired response.The film is neither relentlely downbeat nor needlely cheerful;it's about healing, but there is a strong, bittersweet current running through the love story subplot.As a director, Redford has never shown greater mastery of his material.His presentation of Montana, with all of its glorious open spaces, is enough to make anyone in the theater think about heading west.He also manages to make the day-to-day activities of running a ranch and working with horses seem interesting.At the outset, I feared that I might be bored by The Horse Whisperer, but, despite the running length(which creeps close to Titanic territory with no shipwreck in sight), I found myself thoroughly absorbed.The presentation of the truck accident is memorable for the way in which it is staged--it's loud, horrifying, and chaotic.The editing and cinematography are perfect, and fashion an unforgettable cinematic moment.Speaking of cinematography, it's neceary to say a few words about Richard Richardson's work, which is effective throughout.As good as Richardson is in photographing the sky and land, and presenting instances in silhouette, he is no le accomplished in capturing the nuances of small moments--a quick smile here, a studied glance there.Most capable cinematographers would be hard-preed not to make a shot of the Rocky Mountains look impreive;Richardson does as much with his photography of the characters as he does with the setting.Redford, along with screenwriters Richard LaGravenese and Eric Roth, has made a significant change to the ending of the story as presented in the novel.But, while die-hard fans of Evans' book may be disappointed by the alteration, which significantly dampens the level of melodrama, it fits perfectly with the delicately-balanced tale and characters Redford has brought to the screen.Every summer, it seems that there is at least one literate, intelligent alternative to the mindle blaze of action films.For the early season of 1998, it's The Horse Whisperer.Godzilla may be bigger, but for those who care about plot and character, and who want to experience a genuine emotional response, this is the real giant.冰天雪地的纽约北部，13岁的格蕾丝骑着爱马“朝圣者”外出发生意外，格蕾丝失去了一条腿，“朝圣者”也奄奄一息。母亲安妮急切地期盼格蕾丝能早日康复，但不久她发现，要使女儿的心理恢复正常，首先必须挽救 “朝圣者”的生命。当听说蒙大拿州有一位名叫汤姆·布克的为马治病的高手后，安妮便不厌其烦地打电话向他求救。尽管一再遭到拒绝，安妮依然不肯放弃，最后她干脆开上车，带着格蕾丝和“朝圣者”一起前往蒙大拿。在蒙大拿宽广的天空下，安妮、汤姆和格蕾丝的生活都被永远地改变了……
《马语者》我只读了一遍，或许所感受到的东西与作者的写作意图相去甚远，但我仍愿意把记录下来。大概每部书都是这样，随着岁月的流逝和阅历的丰富，再读时会有另一番感受。可那是以后的事情，现在就不得而知了。书的封面上印着两行小字：“扣人心弦的心灵历险，感人肺腑的爱情诗篇。”开始，我以为这是对这本书的高度概括，却没想到，在读过全篇之后，再看这两行字（尤其是后一行），竟感到很茫然。这里所指的爱情，无疑是安妮与汤姆的，可是，他们的爱情，真的感人肺腑吗？
罗伯特是个绝对经典的丈夫，他几乎具备一切好丈夫所应有的优秀品质。可奇怪的是，安妮仍然红杏出墙。难道她所需要的只是激情？看到她和汤姆做爱的那段文字，我几乎恶心得要吐。这个固执的女人，一切只从自己的需要出发，她有没有考虑过她女儿的父亲、她的丈夫的感受？
汤姆最终选择了死亡。我很赞赏他的勇气，虽然他大可不必这么做。不过，退出，倒是再明智不过的决定。他已经占有了安妮的肉体与灵魂，不该再奢求天长地久的厮守。其实，我很崇尚柏拉图式的爱情，并一直认为只有纯精神上的爱情才是真正的爱情，而若是掺进了某种欲望，它就不那么纯粹了。性行为是所有的欲望中最原始的一种。用“纯粹的性吸引”来评价汤姆与安妮，似乎有失公允，毕竟，他们之间存在爱情。但是，这份爱情是以伤害罗伯特这样一个接近于完美的丈夫为代价的，那么，它的存在是否显得太没人性、太不道德了呢？显然，汤姆意识到了这一点，并以自戕为这个他认为完美的错误做了个了断。可见，他是勇敢的。但是，谁又能说死亡不是比活着更好的解脱呢？虽说对于他来说一切都结束了，可有关于他的一切都还在鲜活着、延续着。例如安妮心中永远的回忆与怀念，以及那个幼小的生命。可以说，他是明智的。
克蕾斯和她的马——朝圣者，在整个过程中都表现出了同样的坚强。“扣人心弦的心灵历险”用在她们的身上真是再贴切不过。虽然也曾对现状产生过怀疑，但终于在周围人的关怀与呵护下重新树立了信心，找回了自我。克蕾斯就像一个在你面前长大的小女孩，你亲眼看着她受伤、茫然以及重新学会用快乐的心态去面对一切。这个过程是那么的真实、自然，仿佛你能够触摸得到。不过，有一点不得不承认，安妮和罗伯特都是各自工作领域的精英，钱对于他们来说根本不成问题，这无疑对克蕾斯的痊愈有着很大的帮助。的确，有时心理上的创伤比生理上的更难治愈，克蕾斯的痊愈主要是由于她坚强的毅力、不屈的精神和乐观的性格。但不管怎么说，这要比那些饥寒交迫的人们做起来容易得多。我料想，若是一个穷人家的孩子遭遇了同来的状况，就算再坚强，也不会得到与克蕾斯一样完美的结果。
娄根出现的次数并不多，但他的每一次出现都像是带来了一缕阳光。下面这一段文字：“娄根把车停在一面写着„大型动物医院‟的看板下，心想：真稀奇！堂堂一座大学，竟然无法更准确地用语言描述大的究竟是动物还是医院。”让你在微笑中感受着温暖与平和。更重要的是，他把自己当作医生而不仅仅是兽医，以与对人一样的平等和爱的心态去对待动物。我甚至在想，如果他出生于大草原而并非只是毕业于医学院，那么，在医治马的精神痛苦方面，他很可能比汤姆更胜一筹。
