影评:独立日/天煞地球反击战/ID4星际终结者(Independence Day)
《独立日》是部典型的商业大片。庞大得夸张的外星族群进攻,美利坚的总统和科学家首当其冲担当起拯救人类的重任,成为举世瞩目的英雄。
优点:外星人大举侵略地球的桥段本来已无甚新意,但是在强劲的特技效果下,整部电影顿时可观性大增。整出电影高潮迭起,地球人和外星飞碟激战的场面着实教人看得过瘾,刺激异常。总而言之,全片带给观众的官能刺激一浪接一浪,令人有喘不过气的感受。
缺点:浓厚的大美国主义是本片的唯一大缺点,另外片尾计算机病毒救地球的办法也略嫌简单和儿喜了点。其余也没有什么错失。
电影中比较振奋人心的中英文对照台词:
Good morning. In less than one hour planes from here and all around the world will launch the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind… Mankind. The word has new meaning for all of us now. We are reminded not of our petty differences but of our common interests.
Perhaps it‘s fate that today, July the Fourth, we will once again fight for our freedom. Not from tyranny, persecution or oppression. But from annihilation. We‘re fighting for our right to live, to exit. From this day on, the fourth day of July will no longer be remembered as an American holiday but as the day that all of mankind declared we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We will live on. We will survive. Today we celebrate our independence day.
早上好。一小时之内,这里的战机将与世界其他地方的战机联合起来,进行一场人类历史上最大规模的空战。人类,这个词对于今天的我们而言,已有了一个全新的含义。我们不能再因为彼此间微不足道的差异而无谓消耗。我们应该为我们共同的利益而团结起来。
也许是命运使然,今天是7月4日,你们将再一次为我们的自由而战,不是为了摆脱暴政,压迫和残害,而是为了我们继续的生存。今天,如果我们赢得这场战争,7月4日就将不仅仅是人们熟知的一个美国节日,而将成为这样一个日子,全世界用同一个声音宣布“我们不会就此无声无息的步入黑暗,我们不会就此放弃斗争而走向消亡。我们将继续活下去,我们必将继续生存。就在今天,让我们庆祝我们的独立日!
