作为英国宫廷戏可能有点略显无聊,不过从表演到剪辑到音乐都算是十分用心。而且深度也是有的,片子刚开始时爸爸讲给女儿们的小故事也是一个人偶然间蜕变的超现实体现了,情感是永恒的,即使能展现出来的东西并不一样。
“There were once two princesses whose Papa had been turned into a penguin by a local witch. This was inconvenient because he loved to hold his princesses in his arms, and you can’t do that if you’re a penguin, you have wings like herrings. To make matters worse she sent him to the South Pole which is an awfully long walk if you can’t fly. When he reached the water and dived in he found he could fly. Fly through the depths. So fast, infact, that he was in Southampton Waters by lunchtime. From there he caught the 2.30 to Weighbridge, changed at Clap ham Junction and asked a passing Mallard the way to Buckingham Palace. He swam up the Thames and came out of a plug hole, giving Mama, the cook and Mrs. Whittaker quite a shock. The princesses heard the commotion and hurried to the kitchen where they gave the penguin a good scrub, a mackerel and a kiss. And as they kissed him guess what he turned into a short-tailed Albatross. With wings big enough to wrap around both his precious girls together.”
一听名字以为是讲MU的,所以才饶有兴致的看了,记得小时候喜欢的俱乐部并不多,第一件球衫是国际米兰的,第二件是尤文图斯的,第三件就是MU的了。自从后来因为假赛意甲水平全方位的下滑,就转而更关注英超这边,理所应当的MU就是这几年一直默默支持的球队。看了半天竟然是LU,从最早开始关注英超就知道Leeds United是个烂队,在MU席卷英超的时候几乎听不到LU的声音,更不知道之前还有这么一段历史。Michael Sheen的对话节目很亲切。
