Whoever has watched “City of God” would agree that the Brazilian director, Fernando Meirelles, is anything but mainstream.
Then we heard the plot line and review of the new movie “Constant Gardener”, positioned to be an international blockbuster. It was nothing but mainstream: John Le Carré’s best seller spy novel, today’s Kenya, Ralph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz, pharmaceutical Company, the poor, the rich, conspiracy theory, murder, revenge…
So how did the two look together?
The movie started rather slow, but I saw traces of Meirelles in the unusual rich palette, colorful background faded out like an oil painting–strike of blue and green; interesting camera angle and motion; a lighthearted love scene conjured together in clean lines and high contrast.
我看到了一个男人的无奈、痛苦和誓死不渝的坚持。贾斯丁是普通男人,爱妻子,爱园艺,也很享受悠然安静的生活,起初,并不像染指于麻烦之中,这或许是他的本性。爱到深处,妻子是那么了解他,所以他成了妻子最想倾诉却不能倾诉的人。苔丝知道丈夫并不愿被卷入肮脏的事件中,并不是因为他麻木不仁、丧失良知,只是他明白他不能去拯救非洲大陆的每一个人,也不知道自己有这样的能力。
失去了妻子,他无以为家,那么他无所顾忌的去涉足这场肮脏的令人反胃的交易。面对死亡的威胁,坦然,坚毅,依然持着园丁的淡定,步步深入追随妻子的足迹,我不得不承认他是一个伟大的男人,对爱的执着、对事的执着,都让我在电影结束后深深沉迷不已。
