Hidden 的寂靜


source: www.hkiff.org.hk


選看這部電影,有九成是因為想看看久違了的庇洛絲小姐;
有一成是,以為這是似曾相識的荷里活中產懸疑劇情片,應該不會壞到那裡去。
結果是:腦袋有九成時間緊張得不能放鬆,有一成時間充斥著“????“

男主角一家不斷收到監視自已家居的錄影帶與具恐嚇意味的圖畫;背後隱藏的,原來是主角自小形成的性格黑暗面,以及他直接破壞的另一個人生。雖然是懸疑片種,整套電影卻沒有用上一丁點唬人的聲效,更遑論荷里活大製作中蕩氣迴腸,落點準繩,擺明車馬要你尖叫的配樂;刺激觀眾腎上腺的責任,落在演員爐火純青的演技、點到即止地把觀眾帶進主角生活的主觀鏡、還有充斥著情緖的沉寂。

兒時家僕的兒子叫男主角上他家,表面是為了解釋錄影帶的來源,但他說了一句:「這一刻,我希望你能夠見證。」後,便不徐不疾的拿出一把軍刀,往自己喉頭一割...那十數秘的沉默,叫觀眾與主角同樣地措手不及,墮進始料不及的驚惶之中。

接著,主角靜俏俏的回家,走上睡房,致電吩咐由庇洛絲飾演的妻子先送走客人,然後到睡房與他會合。他,呆呆地坐在漆黑的房間中等待的數十秒內,觀眾呼吸著自銀幕傳來不安、惶恐的空氣。

片子去到末段,並沒有一個清楚「交代」的結局,只是影著主角兒子的校門,看到自殺者的兒子,熟絡地上前跟主角的兒子攀談,他們談甚麼,或許就是結局的關鍵,但導演堅持緘默。當中的原委、事情的真相,就交由觀眾自己填寫。

靜寂無聲,原來就是最扣人心神的聲效,也是教人對一齣電影難以忘懷的能量。


(題外話:幾年前開始喜歡看茱莉葉. 庇洛絲的電影,除了欣賞她的演技,更喜歡她的氣質,時而剛,時而柔。覺得她最可愛的,是自年輕到現在,她完全不被瘦身風影響,一直是名圓潤豐滿的美人,卻無損她貴為法國,甚至國際殿堂級女星的地位。
香港的電影圈:與其致力強迫女演員減肥,倒不如好好鍛練她們的演技吧!)

I bet you were attending the thurs nite show. I was also there. how come we never bump into each other...

I also enjoyed the movie. but i really don't understand the ending. that keeps me puzzling about what it means...
anyway, I guess there is no absolute answer (even from director). the ending is like that to keep all of us puzzling and puzzling...

我看了星期五文化中心的那一場!

結局真的是一頭霧水,你認為結局是什麼呢?

I don't know. I guess as the movie title is called "Hidden", and the ending shows that there are actually more hidden things that you can expect.... haha...but who knows.
After the show, I read the introduction by HKIFF, the director said it tries to talk about the secrets in politics and the secrets within family...I guess I can never understand loh.....

聽你這樣說, 我開始明白點佢兩夫妻打電話搵仔時,背景不斷播放伊拉克戰事的新聞片段, 仲要係「搶」到擺明要你分心, 要你睇...

太太與既是老闆又是朋友的他...會不會真的如兒仔所想, 真的有曖昧關係???
