影评| 九把刀· 那些年 我们一起追的女孩

那些年 我们一起追的女孩 在马来西亚未演先轰动,正式上映的时候难求一票。我也嚷嚷要看了好久一段日子,昨夜和友人终于看了。我想一探究竟这部电影的魅力何在,如此“吸睛”。

胡夏演唱的主题曲 那些年 早在电影上映的月前已在网路上大量的流传,没有大肆的宣传,电影的话题性十足早已让大马的观众迫不及待想要观赏这部由小说改编的电影。在网络泛滥的年代,在Facebook里电影的画面,台词,歌曲share了又share,在观看的时候已完全毫无惊喜可言。那些在网络里的零星资讯凑起来时,那些故事情节已呼之欲出。当我看见这一幕,我已经知道了接下来的下一句台词会是什么。网络的资讯泛滥成了无形的推手,同时也抹杀了所有的惊喜。


散场后,友人问我的观后感。
一时之间我也无法立刻说明我的想法,我混了。我不能确定,我是否早已保留了看法或是 那些年 我们一起追得女孩 电影本身根本就没那么好。和朋友交换了想法后,我对这部电影的想法才更加的清晰。这部电影的男女主角的选角真的是无法挑剔,柯腾的外形不但帅气,还有满满的青春气息和调皮的酷劲。沈佳宜的干净和亮丽外形也不在话下,才足以匹配柯腾的帅气。除了男女主角以外,几个男主角的的个性也十分鲜明,让观众对每个角色都有深刻的印象。很可惜的是沈佳宜的女生好友-家玮在近乎无妆的在荧幕下,在沈佳宜的身旁外形更显逊色,直接被比了下去。

当柯腾见义勇为的将自己的英文课本借给了沈佳宜,却让自己接受老师的惩罚,那是我觉得柯腾最帅气的时候了。现时代,这种“有种”的男人就好像熊猫,接近绝种了。或许,在不久的将来女性只能够在虚构的电影里才能暂且满足对这类型男生的渴望。

我不得不承认,勃起和老曹在班上比赛打手枪的那幕为观众带来意想不到的欢乐。九把刀很微妙的把这件“鸟事”刻画得生动,谁都没想到打手枪也可以好像古典音乐演奏会般唯美。老师风骚的演技也为这一幕画龙点睛。虽然这部电影的故事平平,不过九把刀在影像的创意是令人喜爱的。老曹在厕所试图想要收买柯腾帮他写情书给沈佳宜的那一幕,九把刀的镜头隔着一面墙,以平行线只拍了他们两人对话的眼神,同时在墙上出现了两人交易的利益分算,高招!不过,勃起的“勃起”出现地太频繁,反而开始让人觉得油腻。当勃起的老爸也勃起的时候,观众早已泄了.....

格斗的存在在这部电影是画蛇添足的。柯腾为了向喜欢的女生展现他的雄风,突如其来格斗的提议让我觉得在接上一幕的情节后是格格不入的。在加上,格斗的那一幕故事的张力不够,让人觉得有种轻描淡写,带过就算得感觉。只为了沈佳宜能够看见他的“熊风”就算完成任务了。沈佳宜的角色清新亮丽,也不忘了展示她的身材。当沈佳宜前往脚车停泊区将准备的习题让柯腾完成的那幕,长镜头里的沈佳宜是以侧身对着蹲在地上的柯腾。这一幕让穿着颇短裙兼贴身校服的沈佳宜展露了她的曲线,让观众在无意中越发对她的爱慕。

故事到了两人升上了大学,分隔两地的那幕实在冗长和沉闷。柯腾在地震后寻找手机的讯号情节拖太久,心里在想他究竟要跑多远,找多久。再加上那两人对着月亮说着平行线时空的对话,只能说是老土的招式。请问可以来点别的吗?我倒是喜欢当他们俩在火车轨上小心翼翼漫步的那幕,让我觉得是这部电影细腻的部分。这时候的他们,爱情就好像在行走铁路时一样,小小的步伐,不仓促地在慢慢感受那一刻的暧昧。慢慢地,轻轻地,小心翼翼地在萌芽,感受温柔的阳光洒在他们爱的幼苗。

在故事的尾声的那些回忆画面实在是太零散了,那些刻意的回忆根本无法令人感动,反而令人更加的困惑所要表达的信息。那一段就算了吧,导演~

这部电影里面有一句我蛮喜爱的台词:人生很多时候都是徒劳无功的....  这句话除了可以表现沈佳宜对学习的一套想法,也可以很贴切放在他俩的感情世界里。柯腾花了这么多年的时间追求沈佳宜,虽然到头来徒劳无功成为了别人挽着的美丽新娘,但是那徒劳无功的过程还是很美好的....

台湾的文化影响马来西亚的观众也不是一朝一夕的事情了。当观众不禁在柯腾冲上前狂吻新郎的那幕拍手时,我心里的感受是不解。大家都将自己完全的投入在这虚构的电影世界里,无法自拔了吗?为何观众对这荧幕里的人物而鼓掌呢?你们不知道其实他们只是光和影像吗?你们都怎么了?除此之外,许多人在看过这部电影后,一直不断的看见有人在分享这部电影让他/她想起了当年那些美好的学生生涯和“那些年 他们也一起追的女孩”.....

我不解,这些美好何以相仿马来西亚的“那些年”呢?台湾的文化和环境更本就是完全的两码事,那些道地的口语和“追得女孩“是如何可以让我们的观众有如此强烈的共鸣?我怀疑,是否马来西亚的观众已经被台湾文化的洗礼已更深蒂固。马来西亚的电影还有剩下什么可言。
可悲。

Sorry, you're not the apple of my eye.


胡夏,那些年 (这首歌还是动听的~)

Passport? Here You Go

Damn,
I've to spend extra money for taxi when I realized Immigration office at Kota Damansara branch has moved to Jalan Duta, Sri Hartamas at Home Ministry Complex about 3 weeks ago. I was so nervous because I've no idea where is the new office located and afraid that I couldn't renew my passport on time when my train to Hatyai was on that night. According to their statement, renew passport only take 1 hour after you make the payment, but with my bad experience to Immigration before it was a nightmare of long waiting....   

Read HERE


Draft Notification- Tutup (Closed)
Home Ministry Complex
Can't believe the map is so draft put up by Immigration Office
 Luckily Immigration put on the map because many people including taxi driver 
has no idea exactly where the place is.

When I'm on my way to the new immigration office, taxi driver told me that place is going to be another new develop area with NEW National Palace, NEW Syariah Court and of course NEW Home Ministry Complex already there! Do we really need those new buildings paid by people money? I wonder.

Mosque opposite the Entrance

Right opposite of Solaris Mont Kiara

The new office is not convenient for the people who has no transportation as there is none any public transportation service available nearby except taxi. By the time I'm ready to go, I'm waiting for taxi at main entrance after dropping their customer. 

Immigration Department (1st Floor)


Out of my expectation, their service is really good and efficient that time. I finished all the process within 15 minutes from taking number, filling the form, registration and payment! Amazing!!! Probably that day has less people and the officers feel motivated working at the new environment perhaps? I know I might be too bias when saying this but really, I hardly believe them. While waiting for the collection of passport, I decided to make a tour of new Home Ministry Complex.

Reception of Home Ministry not operating yet
 Another and another door
 Interior design with similar ambient like Sarawak State Library
 Waiting Lobby

Exactly after 1 hour, I got my renewed passport to Hatyai Holidays! The officer is friendly enough to compliment my smile is nice inside the passport. When I asked him why we can't use our passport 6 months before the expire date, he is trying to explain that we might fall sick or any emergency in other country for safety consideration. Plus, this is an international rules according to him. He refuse to gives further explanation because he thinks I will never understand.... 

Hopefully their efficiency wouldn't last over a night only.
And I'm still heart broken for spending nearly RM50 on taxi looking for this Home Ministry Office, OUCH!
