家族情仇 The Yards

有劲道，真实。

忘记mark.

James Gray: I did feel that I lost the film on The Yards, because Harvey Weinstein insisted on things and I had to do them. I lost control of the film. I lost what the story was. I lost what I wanted to do. Not because I didn’t know what I was doing, but I was no longer in control. It is what it is, and my director’s cut does exist on DVD.

格雷的质感一开始就很好 但文本真是一开始就很差啊

片名The Yards先在地为影片划开一片场域，既点明出事件争端不仅仅肇始于车厂地点，而是铁路工业系统内部的利益网络（因此格雷一开始野心就不仅仅在于个体的心理撕扯状态，而在于影射体制的腐败），同时又象征家族权力与个人情感纠葛所缠绕形成的困局。归乡的主角为一整套价值体系所侵逼而出逃，其叙事结构深度地浸染了新好莱坞的类型化建构，而Harris Savides的摄影亦使『教父』在千禧年再次显影。非常喜欢，非常古典，非常沉静。 PS: 第一次认识到华金的貌美
