《丹尼玫瑰》讲述的是喜剧明星和其经纪人的故事。伍迪在电影中扮演热心的喜剧经纪人丹尼·玫瑰,他与落魄的喜剧明星们相依为命,照料他们,安排他们工作。可当这些喜剧明星开始走红的时候,他们常常把最初帮助他们的经纪人换掉了。
伍迪本人也是这么做的,在拍摄《傻瓜入狱记》时,他还要参考制片人的想法,但随着他的信心逐渐增长,他不再依赖他们的看法了。“杰克·罗林思常常说,经纪人这一职业的可悲之处就在于,他的工作越成功,他的客户就越不需要他。起初的时候客户就像刚出生的小鸡一样不知所措,但当他逐渐强壮,声名鹊起,工作邀约不断,等到他经验丰富起来,对艺术越来越自信,就不再需要经纪人了。经纪人的工作就是让自己失业,在演艺圈,经纪人被解雇是很常见的事情。”—伍迪·艾伦
如果你注意观察,就会发现伍迪的电影时长都非常短。(文章结尾附录电影时长表)对此,伍迪认为这和导演天生的生理节奏有关,每个人感受事物的节奏是不同的。“对于我来说1小时40分钟就已经很长了,一旦超过了那个时间,我就没东西可讲。导演的作品反映着他的节奏以及新陈代谢。”《丹尼玫瑰》整个故事非常简短,只有84分钟,一个小时多一点就讲完了整个故事。电影小巧、聪明,非常流畅。镜头从一家餐厅开始,由聚餐的一群喜剧人讲述传奇喜剧明星经纪人丹尼·罗斯的故事。气氛愉快而轻松,就像每一个我们在饭桌上兴致勃勃谈起的有趣故事一样。《丹尼·玫瑰》是一部简短、有趣、完整的电影。可惜伍迪坚决走了故事片的路子,不再在电影中拍那些让人兴奋的无厘头喜剧小段子。此时的伍迪更渴望一个完整的故事,他不希望用间歇性的无厘头喜剧段子破坏故事剧情的流畅性,这是我们值得注意的。

1.You know what my philosophy of life is? That it's important to have some laughs, no question about it, but you gotta suffer a little too' because, otherwise you miss the whole point to life. And that's how I feel.
2. Just let me say one thing. My uncle Sidney - lovely uncle, dead, completely - used to say three things. He used to say: Acceptance, forgiveness and love. And *that* is a philosophy of life: Acceptance, forgiveness and love.
说起小老头,从《安妮·霍尔》(Annie Hall,1977)完成电影艺术上的飞跃之后,整个80-90年代佳作频出,每隔几年就要出一部影史经典。小老头拍的电影太多,所以也有不少慢慢被人遗忘,没有获得应有的重视,比如1984年的《丹尼玫瑰》(Broadway Danny Rose),又译《百老汇的丹尼罗斯》,就是被低估的伍迪·艾伦影片之一。
影片很难归类,可以当做普通的情节喜剧,或伪人物传记片,或爱情片。讲的是一个演艺经纪人的往事。开头和结尾是不同时间的同一场景。开头,几个中年人在餐厅里谈论这位经纪人丹尼·罗斯(自然是由伍迪·艾伦扮演)的趣事,所以影片的主体部分由数个大段闪回构成,旁白则来源于其中一人的讲述。
丹尼原先是搞笑艺人,后来当了经纪人,影片讲的是给一个叫卢·卡诺瓦的歌手当经纪人的故事。但看着看着你会发现,要讲的其实是他的爱情故事。
整部影片洋溢着欢乐的意大利风情,卡诺瓦红过,丹尼要把他再次捧红,把他介绍给业界大牛一个叫米尔顿的人,安排了一场演出让米尔顿来听。这场表演至关重要,能不能红全靠它了,因此卡诺瓦非常紧张。他有一个情人叫蒂娜,米娅·法罗(Mia Farrow)饰演,刚开始一直带着墨镜,打扮很古怪,几乎认不出来。卡诺瓦一定要让蒂娜来看演出,给他精神上的鼓励。为了瞒住妻子,让丹尼假装是她的男伴。
然而当丹尼去接她时却发现他俩正在电话中吵架,这就尴尬了。蒂娜绝尘而去,跑去参加一场意大利人的婚礼,丹尼也追去了。高潮来了,这里有个意大利人正在追求蒂娜,得知蒂娜还另有恋人后打算自杀,并且把丹尼当做了她的恋人。当然是没死成,他的两个黑手党弟弟打算杀掉丹尼,为兄报仇!从这往后高潮一轮又一轮。先是在餐厅外发现了追杀者,两人跑路。丹尼表示自己是陆上希伯来人,无法坐船。在船上蒂娜回忆起她给卡诺瓦另外找了个经纪人的事,这个人也会来看当晚的演出。
在短暂的安全过后,俩人还是被黑手党抓到了,逼丹尼说出蒂娜真正的情人是谁,于是丹尼说出了一个名字……但是他说的是一个口吃的喜剧艺人的名字!他以为这人正在巡回演出,不在本地。但丹尼和蒂娜还被绑在那里,以一种滑稽的方式……丹尼突发奇想,模仿逃脱大师,以“扭扭”的方式挣脱绳索。到底他们是如何扭的,想象一下便能体会……果然成功逃脱!后来还有一场华丽的历险,就不多说了,太可笑。
总之,他们赶到了演出现场,卡诺瓦演唱大成功,丹尼也得知蒂娜和卡诺瓦计划要把自己换掉。失落的丹尼去看望了那位代替自己被暴揍的口吃艺人。
整部影片高潮迭起,笑料不断,只可惜小老头给自己安了个差强人意的美满结尾。蒂娜整日失魂落魄,意识到自己爱上了丹尼,而丹尼也对蒂娜念念不忘,于是她们在一起了。看看他们在街上说话的那一幕,像不像《安妮·霍尔》的结尾?
丹尼·罗斯显然有小老头自己的影子。伍迪·艾伦自小就有搞笑天才,15岁时就开始在一些报纸专栏上写段子,后来给广播电台写段子。中学毕业后,为电视节目编写脚本。1961年,正式成为一名喜剧演员,在格林威治村的小酒馆、夜总会和小剧场里演出,一时名声鹊起。后来开始编写舞台剧,在百老汇大获成功,之后正式走向电影,直至今日。
《丹尼玫瑰》获得奥卡斯最佳导演和最佳原创剧本两项提名,米娅·法罗凭此片获得金球奖音乐喜剧类最佳女主角提名。之后此片就再没掀起什么波澜,成为伍迪·艾伦众多优秀影片的点缀。

Allen’s ‘80s black-and-white features x 2, ZELIG is a gimmick film, a mockumentary germinated from the inventive idea of a “human chameleon”, but the real star is DP Gordon Willis’ Promethean genius of inserting characters into archival footage and the application of rendering the newly shot footage a ’20’s archival veneer, to the astonishing effect of total harmony and verisimilitude (although the one with Hitler is a bust, the actor’s resemblance is wide of the mark), and to that purpose, ZELIG is an exceptional specimen of cinematic alchemy.
Structure-wise, the whole pseudo-documentary format is devised with the full treatment, like Bob Fosse’s raw and edgy biopic LENNY (1974). Apart from punctiliously coaxed archival footage, retro-style home videos, Allen also uses real-life personages and actors (who play the fictional characters) to give their candid interviews of the subject, you almost believe what they say if the words are spoken from Susan Sontag or Saul Bellow, among other authority figures.
That said, ZELIG’s technical extraordinariness (include half a dozen coined Zelig-themed songs penned by Dick Hyman, that can surely widen your smile) cannot belie the script’s prevailing plainness and archness, it is a missed opportunity for Allen not to fully satirize and assess Zelig’s rise-and-fall in relation to the American society at large and elicit more heady reverberations.
Allen plays Leonard Zelig, a mousy, anonymous guy who can transform his appearance according to his surroundings (Allen is not equipped to show you an actual transformation process, what you get is the simple outcome, he can be black, oriental, Hebrew or corpulent, in correspondent with those who are near him), and becomes a national sensation for his inexplicable “super power”, a cash cow for his instant family, but as an individual, he is miserable and neglect, eventually Zelig’s psychological condition is cured by psychiatrist Dr. Eudora Nesbitt Fletcher (Farrow), through quite a lot psychobabble and mesmerism.
When the story heads to a romantic direction, it betrays Allen’s own limits, not everything ought to be nailed down with a man making a conquest of a woman’s heart. Plus the final trans-Atlantic aviation exploit is so far-fetched that he doesn’t even care to arrange any visual stunt to validate that cockamamie bilge. With its succinct length (79 minutes), ZELIG soars high but crash-lands with a whimper.
BROADWAY DANNY ROSE, released one year after, is about another Allenesque character, Danny Rose (Allen), a talent agent touts unpopular entertainers (balloon formers, a musician working with glasses, a stuttering ventriloquist, just to name a few). When one of his clients, a washed-up lounge singer Lou Canova (Forte, a hearty fellow) has a career revival due to the nostalgic fad, Danny needs to act as a beard of Lou’s mistress Tina Vitale (Farrow), so he can bring her to attend Lou’s big gig in the presence of Milton Berle (as himself), it could be a real breakthrough.
But Tina is not a meek kitten, and this innocuous act backfires, after unwisely go to a party of her ex-Italian lover, Tina and Danny soon are on the run from mafia hitmen. As a self-proclaimed landlocked Jew, Danny is foisted to go aboard a ship (how atrocious!), and later, he and Tina must wiggle their way out of being tied up together (who can stand the torture of upward-and-downward close movements?). But there is another hammer blow awaits Danny when they're out of harm's way, does anyone wonder why he always scrapes the barrel?
Allen is his usual gabby alter ego, you might feel amused or scream “shut up” for his persistent quotes of his Jewish relatives and his penchant for “asking permission to interject”. Against her type, Farrow smartly plays this superstitious Italian broad with forcefulness and ambivalence, plus a layer of her uncharacteristic va-va-voom. Tina is a shallow woman, in the same sense that Lou is a shallow man, but after encountering Danny, she is transformed, even sublimed by his immanent kindness and sophistication (and being the high priest of sapio-sexuality, Allen actually put the exact words into Tina’s mouth), her guilt conscience overcomes the temptation of life on easy street, she becomes a fuller human and Danny’s equal.
Here, the frame device is a gathering of several comedians (Jackie Gayle, Morty Gunty, Corbett Monica, among others) lunching at New York's Carnegie Deli, and Danny’s story is recounted as an anecdotal divertissement, Allen always has a knack of such trimmings (remember the Greek chorus in MIGHT APHRODITE, 1995), and both ZELIG and BROADWAY DANNY ROSE has style, scale, wit and profuse amity and gags in offer, they are among Allen’s most innovative works and can put you under a nostalgic spell of the halcyon days.

那年伍迪心里定然满是幸福,他都不拿死亡说事儿了!居然说起爱跟宽恕了!当然这样的时候他还不忘给自己个老好人当当
相比于前作《西力传》的深刻炫技,丹尼玫瑰显然只能算作一部小品,但餐桌谈资,能这般随性自如,依然算是保持水准之作。此外,从上部对爱的大肆褒赞,到这部的温情脉脉,没法不让人猜测,这一切应该和米亚·法罗有关。还有一个解释就是,尖酸刻薄玩腻了,也该换换路子了。
对于表露柔情这件事,伍迪·艾伦总是十分谨慎。他几乎不会喜欢上他电影中的任何角色,常常见缝插针地在台词和动作中讽刺他们。然而正因如此,在满是嘲讽的语境之下,偶尔的一点温情不仅不落俗套,反而显得格外温暖感人。那一点温存,仿佛是一个与生活搏斗之人疲倦后,一瞬间的妥协与和解。
3.5;伍迪老头说他最爱下雨,在雨色苍茫中踽踽独行,在飞舞的雪花中勇敢地追上去,在一次次失败中拾起自己的人生,无论怎样失意,总有一个人突然就懂得了你的全世界并心心念念。再次讲述一个小人物故事,结构很棒,每个人提供的“段子”拼凑成一个并不真实的Danny Rose,却最终成为传奇。上台前3S:“star、smile、strong”。
居然完全没有认出米娅法罗,太颠覆了~
套用里边某角色对伍迪说的话“Will you shut up!” 心水的是那最后奔向Mia Farrow的一幕
看他第二次为一个女人在大街上像个刚恋爱的年轻小伙一样奔跑,这次的这个女人跟他同居了十年。剧本设定太简单了,感觉好像是预算不够了故意减下来的。米亚终于演了一个跟以前的她自己完全不同的角色。
老头从头说到尾,没功劳也有苦劳吧
最亮笑点:“我叔叔是布鲁克林有名的糖尿病患者。”
早期的纯喜剧作品之一,虽然不像他的代表作那么Woody-Alleny,但是非常轻松搞笑,而且是我看过他演出较精彩的一部,因为演的是一个不是他(纽约上东区的知识分子)但是他却很熟悉(Woody曾一度在comedy club演出)的角色,大量的手势加三板斧的笑话再配上他最熟悉的Brooklyn Jewish accent,活灵活现。
总有些人或事会打乱你的生活 尽情的拥抱他们吧!
温吞苦逼小清新
像是做了两场梦,前一场是明知道目的地触手可及却始终到不达的遗憾,后一场柳暗花明又一村那人只在灯火阑珊处的美妙。
伍迪·艾伦难得塑造了一个除了聒噪之外还十分诚恳的人物。米娅·法罗则几乎全程带着墨镜,所以观众很难判断她的情感转折,这也是全片最神秘莫测的地方。
黑白画质更显唯美与自然,细节设计上的处理依旧那么完美,现场演唱的片段活力感十足,每一句台词都蕴含着不咸不淡的幽默感,而最具观赏性的还是在于老爷子的精彩表演;他不仅仅是一位知名的导演,更是一名优秀的演员,这一点是有目共睹的不争事实,无辜的表情配上絮絮叨叨的台词,一个活灵活现的人物形象就这么被塑造了出来,看伍迪·艾伦的表演真就是一种别样的享受。
黑白片。结构甚美。老头创作鼎盛期水准一贯很高。《甜蜜与卑微》可以看做这部片子的变奏,而伍迪艾伦扮演的经纪人式的人物再度于《独家新闻》中出现,他们讲着同样的口头语。
小人物的悲喜剧,最后一场戏一群“注定不会成功的艺人”与这个啰嗦的经纪人坐在一起过感恩节的时候,不止是蒂娜,还有我,我看到了什么?一种难以言状的力量,这种力量甚至胜过《曼哈顿》的结尾给我的感动。艾伦和米亚法罗还愿意想起这场戏吗?
汇集了前期的搞笑和之后的探讨,其实从《仲夏夜性喜剧》就有兆头,开始走向小品风格了,特别是结尾,让我想到了《安妮霍尔》和《曼哈顿》不过最后却是圆满结局。接受,宽恕,爱。——《丹尼玫瑰》
呀!这个结尾。跟四百击一样跑,跟《曼哈顿》一样“要给他人一点信心”。不过这个甚至更好一些。似乎在这里伍迪艾伦还是相信“善恶有报”的,到了之后《罪与错》甚至之后的《赛末点》就完全不是回事儿了。看一个人作品的变化,揣测他当时创作的心境,真是很有趣。
如果我能让世界上的一个人永生,那就是woody,我希望有生之日每年都能看到他的一部电影,他之前的作品被我看完啦
