刺杀据点
Vantage Point
当总统正准备发表演说时,两发子弹击中了他…
故事从不同视角展开,
血腥一日背后的真相究竟如何?
本片从六个不同视角讲述了同一事件,层层剥笋,真相慢慢浮出水面。
该片故事背景发生在西班牙萨拉曼卡市。但是拍摄期间,恰逢西班牙萨拉曼卡市的市政广场要关闭3个月,摄制组只好移至墨西哥的库埃纳瓦卡和普埃布拉进行拍摄。
片中只有萨拉曼卡的航拍镜头是实地拍摄的,其他的镜头都是在墨西哥完成。
电影制作方找到一个四层楼废弃的商场,花费十周时间,超过三百名工人共同打造,用木工、钢架和橡胶来重塑,将废弃商城变为了片中总统被枪杀的重要场景,在墨西哥搭建了一个萨拉曼卡市政广场的复制品。
The movie features a big cast with Hollywood veterans Forest Whitaker and Sigourney Weaver, alongside Mathew Fox and Zoe Saldana. It takes us to the heart of political crises, when the US president is shot, giving us different perspectives, or “vantage points” of the assassination.
It’s a cool take on filmmaking with the plot unfolding through four different storylines. It let us piece together the mystery bit-by-bit, almost like putting together a puzzle, while the pieces fall into place.
It’s often compared to Akira Kurasawa’s Rashomon, for the way the director used multiple perspectives to tell the story, with Vantage Point receiving pretty solid reviews.

大买卖
The Score
偷窃老手尼克(罗伯特•德尼罗饰)顺利完成了委托人的任务返回住所,但是在交接时委托人麦斯(马龙•白兰度饰)给他带来了一好一坏两个消息。
坏消息是买主死掉了,尼克无法出货;好消息则是另外有一单四百万的大生意在等着他。
预备和女友结婚的尼可不想再涉足偷窃,准备金盆洗手。但是麦斯的合作者——乔装弱智打入海关内部的青年杰克(爱德华•诺顿饰)对这单生意锲而不舍。
他们是否会结成联盟?这场“大买卖”是否能顺利完成?
这部戏中,你可能已经认不出曾经风度翩翩的马龙•白兰度,但这是他息影前的最后一部作品,所以绝对具有纪念意义!
此外,在这部戏中,不得不提的就是爱德华•诺顿,他在《大买卖》中饰演表面弱智实则头脑无比灵光的大盗,复杂的人物性格加上和两大影帝的同台,千万不要错过这部电影!
The Score is a crime thriller that takes your average Hollywoodheist to the next level. While the story itself is full of unexpected twists and turns, fun surprises, and lots of action, the movie also brings us a massive cast. The Score puts Robert Deniro alongside Marlon Brando for the first and only time in film history. It’s also Brando’s final film before retirement. But if that’s not enough, you’ve also got Oscar winner Angela Bassett, and Hollywood heavyweight Edward Norton all in the same movie.

遇强则强,三位大咖为了这部电影都付出了想不到的努力。
布拉德•皮特、约翰•库萨克和爱德华•诺顿都曾有意向出演基努演的男主角一角,可见竞争之激烈。
艾尔•帕西诺在片中所扮演的律师行老板一角的名字来自《失乐园》的作者约翰•弥尔顿。
片中的名台词“Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven”(宁在地狱为王,不到天堂当差)也来自于书中,使得片中弥尔顿的形象更加丰满深刻。
查理兹•塞隆在片中饰演的妻子,在丈夫发生变化的过程中整个人彻底奔溃。
为了完成好角色,查理•兹塞隆在三个月的拍摄期间里,每天都去纽约一位精神病学家那里“练习精神分裂”一个钟头。
