黑金杀机

终于等来机会写一部差评。我不建议影迷观看此片，理由有三个：

1. 在影评界反响不好。IMDB 给了六分，明显偏高了。烂番茄上目前只有35% 的好评。连来自《卫报》以唱反调出名的影评师们也只给了两颗星。

2. 符合了一条著名《灾难电影守则》，电影中的众多大牌在事后都决口不提此片，不愿意接受采访。

3.退一步说其实影评，演员的想法都不重要。重要的是观众怎么想。作为一个热情的百毒不侵的什么垃圾都要看一看的影迷，我把此片总结一句话：在经过111分钟疲劳的等待后，电影却最终却没能回报给观众什么。没有明堂的电影，花了大量精力找齐了各种线索拼板，却拼不出个模样。

观众辛辛苦苦守着缓慢的故事进程，天马行空的装逼对话，东奔西跑的场景切换，惊世骇俗的翻云覆雨，足足111分钟，那么最后的回报是什么：卡梅隆-迪亚兹的穿着帽兜杉性感得喝香槟？我去！Ridley Scott 毕竟是80几岁的老头子了，拿出来的东西都沾着阳痿气息。

其实迪亚兹的表演不算太坏，高潮点在她与巴登叔的法拉利缠绵一场时就早早降临。坏就坏在故事是不伦不类的，它不屑于交待清楚前因后果，人物关系，故事脉络，而是摆出台词与道具让大家玩味。

首先法斯宾德是个芝麻绿豆大的小律师,The Counselor 一般是最低等的律师，也就打打离婚财产官司，哪来这么大本事参与几千万的毒品交易。二来这个律师到底做了些什么，他只不过放出了一个微不足道的小快递？除了这点小事他还干了啥？用得着这么大惊小怪吗？他最后的几滴眼泪显得毫无必要。是不是法叔又走火入魔了？

最后来说迪亚兹的动机是什么：a-猎豹综合性？b-性爱狂热分子？c-割头癖恋者 d-敛财者？e -母撒旦？从电影结局来看是d , 但她赶尽杀绝, 却不杀法斯宾德的角色而把杀妻的dvd寄给他？是惩罚吗？这样看来又是e

从整个故事推测，电影想把她塑造成一个德智体美劳全能型的孙二娘。但用这样蹩脚的一个剧本去塑造，显得多么的单薄。要架构一个全能的恶人，特别是女人，不是几件豹纹紧身衣，涂些妖怪色的指甲油，打几个电话说些狠话，大腿八字开几下就可以了结的。人物的丰满性是需要细节去捕捉，需要对话去衬托，需要演员不同层次的表演去完成的。看看《危情十日》中的Annie Wilkes ，看看《致命吸引力》中的Alex Forrest，看看《本能》中的Catherine Tramell, 这些让人印象深刻的致命女性角色，并没有试图去把一个男人的毒枭模式套在穿性感紧身衣的女人身上。尽管《杀死比尔》有类似嫌疑，但人家昆丁要显得纯粹很多，用真刀真枪。

看看Ridley Scott去年的《普罗米修斯》似乎有同样的毛病。电影没讲完一个人，又速速地去讲下一个人。年前的另一部装逼大片《惟神能恕》里的Kristin Scott Thomas，也是类似的恶娘角色。豹纹+几句语不惊人死不休的台词。缺乏想象力。

再说剧本台词，同样也是80几岁的普利策奖得主Cormac McCarthy, 是备受推崇的编剧家，他的《No Country for Old Men》， 《The Road》 都堪称经典。老人家一贯喜欢玩点哲学结合西部大荒野，写出来的东西都是些形而上的黄金珍珠，可惜在电影里用的地方总觉得不对劲。比如一个教父型的老头儿在电话里讲了一大堆主客的二元分裂和对立性的生死观给法斯宾德，其实人家只想知道自己老婆的下落。又比如皮特那一套固定模式的油腔滑调，卡姐的“be careful what you wish for" , 还有巴登跟007里差不多的自嘲与调坎，台词一把把，一层层，把和尚的真谛往毒枭身上套。

要说唯一的亮点，可能就是巴登把迪亚兹的私处比作Catfish（猫鱼，红尾鸭嘴鱼）。巴登说：Really it was...Hallucinatory. You see a thing like that, it changes you. 法斯宾德说：Jesus. 观众们大笑。

总体来说，台词有深度，但没有情节的依托，显得有些空虚。写了一堆，我总结出三条：

1. 近几年来有皮特在电影最好不要看
2. 两个80多岁老人构架的电影，可能大脑耗氧量太高，最好不要在工作8小时后看。
3. 有夫妻同时出演的电影基本都不怎么好看

欢迎反声为辩。

偶遇这片子，稀里糊涂还不知道是什么的时候就被友人拖进去看了，演员阵容果真白金级，开场一幕也震撼极了，中间几个小桥段很劲爆，特别是卡梅隆迪亚兹f*ck the Ferrari 那段，对话够酷够拽，三分之二的内容都铺垫好了的时候当我们期待一个好莱坞式的高潮，它却阳痿了，大概就是这个感觉。

说说三个男主角，三种人生啊：

法叔：别看片名是the counselor，他还真就不是主角。一个不入流的律师，追女人差钱儿就跟毒枭们有点勾结想赚外快。太爱他的女人加上有同情心（赎出青蜂侠），他无法有毒枭们应有的洒脱，纠结于爱情与金钱不仅毁了自己，还误了挚爱的女人。片末要向墨西哥同行寻求宽慰却得到了一堆人生忠告简直是黑色幽默。

巴登：一看就是个土豪，玩过的女人不少可这次魔高一尺道高一丈。他那段catfish的评论真绝了，从来没听过这个比喻，不过也从来没谁见识过卡梅隆迪亚兹对法拉利做的事情的。最后的穷途末路，死后尸首竟是被自己女神的两头猎豹宠物轻轻掠过，是这个女人开始慢慢玩弄起男人的世界的注脚。

皮特：一脸痞子相，很能让我联系起inglorious bastards里面那种为目的不择手段的人。耍酷扮帅是皮特一向的看家本领，这次竟最后栽在这上面，和Natalie Dormer (Elementary里面演Irene Adler的）那次眉来眼去丢了密码也损了人命。我觉得此人智商甚高，看起来操纵了前三分之二的剧情，成功地劫到了货赚到了钱，最后栽在女神手下也是既生瑜何生亮吧。

俩女主：

卡梅隆迪亚兹真女神，养猎豹当宠物，干男人只为乐趣，不够劲还要强暴法拉利，找神父忏悔只是想找个讲自己性生活的听众；充当所有的幕后主使，轻飘飘搞死俩男主吓死一个，最后想去中国用钻石把黑钱洗净。她还有个爱好，杀人要像猎豹一样干净利落，做个优雅有范儿的hunter，简直炫酷到爆！要是能多说说她性格的来历我就更满足了，三岁失去父母？黑帮抚育她长大？年轻时感情不顺？

Penelope Cruz - just soooo hot, 没得说，谁看了她不血脉喷张谁不是真汉子啊；男人们爱上顶级美女，并想用所有办法取悦她们的冲动是动物性的原罪。


P.S. 看大家还在讨论电影的主线内容，我就也说说。三男主是三个臭皮匠赛过诸葛亮，时而干点倒腾毒品的小生意，这次皮特盯上个大活，当然就像水浒传里的生辰纲一样，不止是他，卡梅隆迪亚兹也盯上了这2000万的货。卡梅隆迪亚兹的眼线成功地做掉青蜂侠拿到线索劫走了车，皮特没有告诉同伙的情况下独自招人把女神的货劫走了并拉到芝加哥卖钱。皮特同时玄玄乎乎地告诉法叔其他毒枭可能盯上了他以期骗他们走人，不料这时女神怒而展开了对他们三个人的捕杀..

还望大家继续讨论！

巴登是经销商，皮特是中间人，法斯宾德负责法律事务；三基友主要负责境内买家到货后收款把钱给墨西哥的卖家，原来活干得挺好；后来巴登的女友迪亚兹找人干掉了摩托男，偷走了运货的卡车；这时皮特又来插一脚，找了两个假警察半道劫走卡车，并成功把货交付买家收到货款，跑路到伦敦；但迪亚兹还是掌握着大局，在伦敦成功干掉皮特并拿到钱，打算跑路到香港；影片结束但故事还没完，墨西哥的毒品商为了追回货物失手干掉了巴登、杀死了法斯宾德的女友克鲁兹但留下了法斯宾德、皮特已经死了，如迪亚兹所说墨西哥的毒品商为了拿回两千万接下来会大开杀戒...

The yet-to-be-realised masterpiece is a film not enslaved by its narrative and characters, and simply because the full-blown ego, short attention span and the lack of ability to listen and process difficult information, PEOPLE dismiss such a film citing "who cares".

Well that's the most damaging line I constantly hear travelling in this circle, the very question involves one's existence placed on a pedestal, so anything above such naysayer's vision is put to the axes, and there's no shortage of weaponries to toy with, bad raps grow to misinformation, ultimately the message diminish itself among such PEOPLE. But really who cares right?

I do, and I'm not alone. McCarthy is a man of wisdom, and usually such a figure practice preaching among others, it was heard plainly and concisely through the Jeweller's words that serve as the theme statement of the film. As if McCarthy knew of what was coming, therefore with almost child-like revenge, he made the film more difficult to follow.

Though our main protagonist and titled character, the counselor's story carries little to no weight in the development of events took place in the story. He does not even have a name in case you haven't realised, he has no places of business and no house realised in the story's universe. The counselor is purposefully crafted to be the witness, the visual realisation of the audience inside the story. The counselor is such a role that assesses the status quo, accepts reality - be it glory or defeat, makes judgement and not real decisions and often is the target for blame.

The counselor appears sophisticated and confident, much like the audience who have so grown to take this type of crime thriller for granted that they don't even try to follow the story. Only when it begins to be more challenging, they let themselves down rattling and dismissing. Lack of real enemy and no real approach to dodge his fate, the counselor embodies the audience and is utterly clueless.

The counselor symbolises our emotional anxiety and in this film, lost the frontline battle between good and evil, as a direct consequence of avarice. Whom to suffer but the innocent wife of religious purity.

McCarthy's first spec script is a bloody good time, the man's severe obsession to death has flourished from the randomness/madness expressed in No Country For Old Man to the masterfully cunning meaninglessness (the certainty of uncertainty demonstrated by all characters in this film).

When a snuff film was delivered at the end, our wildest imagination points us nowhere near the power behind the curtains, the audience is left to mistake the femme fatale of Malkina as some sort of intimidating realisation, when all she does is putting money into the next person's hand. The avarice is the initiation, but it doesn't have to be the conclusion. Cameron Diaz's final speech provides us with insights into her drive: everything is about sex, except sex itself which is about power struggle. "Cheetah kills the jackrabbits at 70 miles per hour with elegance" then Malkina moves on to order claiming she is "famished", when the power struggle is over, it's time to enjoy the reap.

The film ends on such a high note that would normally faint the hearts of any seriously-minded audience, but it didn't for it was swiftly equipped with only two clean slices of creative murdering and introverted conversations, which are either too gruesome or too demanding of repeats during playtime. Though I sense nobody is in this business for love, I'm glad somehow that pays off in this case.

Pointers: please do not waste your time trying to understand why Malkina left the counselor alive, the counselor wondered the street one night in Boise, and literally for once in his lifetime, stood in the position of someone disadvantaged and wronged, his urge to death and departure is much greater than living the status quo, that has to be realised. More importantly the counselor means nothing to Malkina, during their brief encounter at the party, Malkina barely said high but spanked the counselor a bit, the counselor has no value in attaining the money. Remember Cheetahs attack with precision and elegance, they do not stop off for a snack attack.

《黑金杀机》并没有像其名字那样赋有攻击性，思维中的那个好莱坞版本的火爆场面始终没有出现，各个大腕们在其中也过多都是旁白一样的表演，imdb系统也给《黑金》6.0+这样不尽人意的分数，800万的票房貌似都没收回成本价。在n+人的眼中《黑金》是一个费力不讨好的片子。
          作为感性的评价，一部没有特技，没有烟火，没有车技...的这样一部好莱坞电影，的确是一个败笔，因为感性的人们追捧的大多是泡沫很多的商业电影，他们在用感官思考，如果拿《铁达尼克》跟《侏罗纪》两部神作给他们选择，他们一定会选择后者，因为后者有“意思”，的确，在平常人眼中“意思”这两个字可能就能代表 一部电影的价值。相反理性的人就不会这么认为，他们会对一部几个小时的片子进行翻来覆去的看，他们要看的是其中的文艺价值甚至是人生哲理，之所以有了这些理性的旁观者，有些电影才会体现出它们真正的价值所在。
           期初个人看《黑金》时也觉得无聊的很，好好一个黑帮贩毒火拼的剧本，拍的这么水，开篇克鲁兹那么淫荡的挑逗也没看脱个几件，迪亚茨的浴袍再怎么褪也褪不到正地方，皮特还纯属一说客...片子可谓文武尽失。直到片子的结尾克鲁兹被倒进垃圾场，皮特被西洋血滴子去了首级的那一刻才感觉到一种变态的吸引。作为感性的反应，也就能只有这么多了。但理性的想一下，片子还是很有内涵的，律师，税客，土大款，毒贩这些人就好比如今社会上的三六九等人，而推敲后的主体构造，其实是在反应一个阴险的生存环境，走错一步就像律师一样掉进了无底深渊，永远不能回头。税客的贪欲，色欲使他最终横尸街头。毒贩的斗争就好比现如今的大自然弱肉强食的法则一样，土大款的遭遇就是这场悲剧的起点也是终点，相反一直以来有变态性取向的迪亚兹却无形中成为了最大的赢家，也或许就是诠释了社会上公平性，伦理性的脆弱不堪。由此看来《黑金》完全是一部由黑暗，阴沉，负面这些负元素组成的电影。这种电影其实往往会给人们比商业电影更加难以磨灭的印象。
         一部阴暗充满精神的电影”r“的程度要远远大于一部血腥充满视觉的电影。
