长篇影评
1 ) 放了又放,终于还是看完了
圣三位一体的宗教情结和人文关怀,果然缺少背景知识很难理解啊,只能看看经典的长镜头和悲天悯人的情怀,总是以一种特别的,非常真实的感觉去触动,即使中间说的核灾难,也依然是如此真实,我们怎么才能充满希望和信心,去给一棵快要枯萎的树,坚持每天浇水,即使一天只能浇一桶水,从日出到日落,是否愿意以这样一种愚笨的方式,牺牲自己,拯救世界,拯救爱人,拯救你们,我爱的人。最后一幕烧毁的家,是说的救赎吗,看评论里面说,完成自己的许诺,我无法拯救自己。只有最一无所有的状态,才能迎接你。
2 ) FIFF27丨DAY5《牺牲》:万物起始,就有了语言,你却沉默得像条鱼
第27届法罗岛电影节第5个放映日为大家带来主竞赛单元的《牺牲》,下面请看场刊影评人的评价了!

永远“看不见”的希望,永远做不到的“牺牲”,永远都在等。
孟山
人总是这样,思考的太多,行动的太少,说不出口的太多,无力的行为太多,但是寄托于下一代就是可行的答案吗,这应该没有人可以回答。
dama.W
摄影构图画面完美,就是对故事本身不太有感觉,作为老塔的人生最后一部电影也算是一个完美的句号。

装满千年往事的老屋终会浴火涅槃,枯树之下依然守着相信的少年,不变的是诗意。
一桶猫
极高水准的色彩运用和长镜头调度 尤其是结尾相当震撼 一如既往沉重、绝望、末世的气息 关于宗教、哲学、信念的思辨贯穿全片 首尾呼应的浇树也象征着希望 对于老塔来说是最完美的告别诗

消亡之人
房子最后烧得只剩几根黑漆漆的木头,虚弱地搭在空中,只等风一吹就倒了。它就好像那枚核弹发射之后整个人类文明苍白可怜的缩影。 付之一炬。到头来什么都抵不过一把火的。而这火总是人类自己放的。 放火多容易啊。哪有什么牺牲呢?不过是一个没胆子迎接明天的疯子自欺欺人自暴自弃的一场表演。塔可夫斯基的超验影像在以往总让我感到宽慰,但这次好像也只让我觉得是大梦一场。 最喜欢的只会是那些对人类罪状语无伦次的控诉,那些抽泣和呢喃。 因为我对当下的判断是:一切的救赎都是假的,只有痛苦是永垂不朽的真实。
快乐王子
牺牲后的新生,或许塔究极一生都是在呼唤爱和希望、信仰,他所做的一切不过是在期盼着这个世界能够更好。矛盾的地方在于一方面亚历山大甘愿牺牲自己的所有去换取往日的欢愉与和平,但他也无比清楚人类本身的存在就是一种暴力,扫荡了所有的自然之美,世界不过是一片荒芜。超现实的景象与梦境关联,或许所有的恐惧也仅仅是一场梦,但他还是要去做,而他唯一能做的就是将目光转移到天上祈求玛丽亚将所有人救赎,祈求为人类而殉身,祈求希望在燃烧的房子、滚滚的浓烟之后闪耀。最后孩子开口说话,土地、树、海、人类于此刻共存,或许塔依然希望自己去相信,也许这个世界会变好。
三色堇紫
安德烈·塔可夫斯基导演遗世之作,世界毁灭前的惊世预言,生命终结前的自我牺牲。轻盈到无法落泪的孤寂之痛,朦胧到无法穿透的虚幻梦境,残酷的黑白影像,写满了腐朽破败的荒凉景致,在如神交般的时刻相拥入眠,漂浮着的身躯和空荡荡的灵魂,一把火焚尽了过往岁月的残留痕迹,一切如醉梦般清醒。万物起始,就有了语言,我们在希望与失望中走向死亡,直到终点。
伊菲吉妮娅
塔式遗作!是困惑,是绝望,是恐惧,是祈祷,是牺牲,是献祭,是生死间的徘徊,是对生命理想的踟蹰;灰冷阴暗的基调,弥漫不散的末世气息,全程随时可能崩溃却又紧绷着的最后一根独弦,终于在结尾的大火中毁灭而后重生;爱与信念重回大地,希望之树必将生生不息!

And I've always felt as if...
as if the living I've done so far
hasn't actually been real life
but a long wait for it...
a long wait for something real,
something important!
What about you?

Yes, if that's what you mean.

For some reason, I started
feeling embarrassed on stage.
I was ashamed to impersonate someone
else, to play others' emotions.
But worst of all, I was ashamed
of being honest on stage.
It was a critic who first saw that.
But it wasn't sudden, not at all.
320
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,276
So you mean that an actor
may not keep his ego intact?
That he must lose his identity?
322
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,271
No, not quite.
What I mean is that an actor's
identity dissolves in his roles.
I didn't want my ego dissolved.
There was something in it
that struck me as sinful,
something feminine and weak.
327
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,594
Aha! Feminine!
So that's what's sinful!

00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,270
I liked you as an actor, so you quit.
That's it!

I know it's no sacrifice, but...
364
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:58,429
And why shouldn't it be?
Of course it's a sacrifice!
365
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,756
Every gift involves a sacrifice.
366
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,430
If not, what kind of gift
would it be?

From about 1478 to 1482, Leonardo had his own studio in Florence. During this time he got an important commission to paint a church altarpiece, now known as the 'Adoration of the Three Kings'. It is still not done today! The work has figures with only the light and dark areas visible as outlines. The 'Adoration of the Three Kings' shows three kings worshiping the Christ child. Leonardo changed the usual way this scene is usually viewed in the Christian faith.
Three leaders of the Chinese Christian Church[3] cite an alternate proposal for the origin of one of the Magi. They state that many Chinese Christians believe at least one of the Magi came from China. They cite anecdotal evidence about Liu Shang, the chief astrologer during the Han dynasty in China at the time that Jesus was born. Liu Shang discovered a new star the Chinese called the "king star" - which was associated with the birth of a new king. The disappearance of Liu Shang from China's imperial court for two years shortly after this star was discovered, they interpret as perhaps traveling the Silk Road to Bethlehem.

We simply don't want

they don't love in the same way.
One of them is strong,
the other, weaker.
And the weaker is always the one
who loves without reckoning...
without reservation.

The name "peeping Tom" for a voyeur comes from later versions of this legend in which a man named Tom watched her ride and was stricken blind.

Most of the film takes place inside or around a house that was specially built for the production. The climactic scene at the end of the film is a long tracking shot in which Alexander burns his house and his possessions. It was done in a single, six minute, fifty second take, often misstated as Tarkovsky's longest shot.[
-
Sixtyish philosopher Alexander (Erland Josephson) lives in a beautiful house on an island off Sweden’s Baltic coast, with English wife Adelaide (Susan Fleetwood), teenage daughter Julia (Valerie Maitesse) and young son, known only as Gossen, or “Little Man” (Tommy Kjellvqist). It’s Alexander’s birthday, and he’s visited by eccentric bicycling postman Otto (Allan Erdawll) and smug doctor Viktor (Sven Wollter), who is “carrying on” with Adelaide. Out of the blue, a nuclear war is announced on TV - the telephones and electricity are cut off, and the air is filled with the deafening roar of passing jets. All looks bleak - but then Alexander fervently prays, asking God to avert the impending apocalypse, in return offering to turn his back on his home and family, and take a vow of silence. Next morning, he wakes to find that, somehow, the threat of annihilation has been lifted - and now it’s up to him to keep his side of the bargain...
The Sacrifice is like a compendium of all the ideas (faith, role of artist, power of nature, virtue of childhood) and images (love as levitation, a boy standing by a tree) from his previous six films. As usual, there’s a baffling rush of philosophical debate, stitched together with some of the most astonishing shots in all cinema. Watching this long film is an intermittently dazzling experience, but also somewhat unsatisfying. Just how much of what we’re watching is real, and how much is Alexander’s hallucination - we’re given clues along the way, such a bicycle being parked in a certain way, only to reappear in a slightly different place later on - is open to question. In Tarkovsky’s films, dreams are nothing if not cinematic. But piecing together the director’s “intention” seems to be missing the point. 费里尼的【Orchestra Rehearsal】是唯一没看完的,一群人唧唧刮刮地说话说得我头晕,流畅,太流畅了,而我亲近于涩而重的。
还有塔可夫斯基,我连关于他的记录片都找来了,【The Genius, The Man, the Legend--Andrei Tarkovsky】瑞典人Michal Leszczylowski拍的,大致是表现塔如何拍【牺牲】,感觉比看【雕刻时光】强多了,塔是个很在意细节和感受的人,凳子怎么摆,窗帘往哪儿飘都特讲究,讲道理却不行,【鲁伯廖夫】DVD里有他的访谈录,他居然爬到一棵树上去讲艺术和人生的意义,我脑子里蹦出两个字:耍猴。【第七封印】和【鲁伯廖夫】一比,柏格曼有必要买块豆腐一头撞死,但【雕刻时光】和【魔灯】一比,可以拔根头发上吊的是塔可夫斯基。当然,这只是我胡说。
The camera work is slow and contains all the hallmarks of Tarkovsky and Nykvist. The film features a haunting soundtrack which has three distinct pieces that stand out: the passionate aria Erbarme dich from Johann Sebastian Bach's Mattheus Passion, soothing Japanese flute music, and eerie traditional chants from the Swedish forests (in the old days farm girls used to call home the livestock from their forest pastures in this way). The film also contains several long closeups of Leonardo da Vinci's Adoration of the Magi.
The film uses long takes more than Tarkovsky's previous films. The opening, post-credits shot (a tracking shot of Alexander, Little Man, and Otto talking and walking) lasts nine minutes and twenty-six seconds, and is the longest take in all of Tarkovsky's work.[citation needed] Shots lasting between six and eight minutes are commonplace in the film, and there are only 115 shots in the entire film.[citation needed]
===========
It was out of such ideas that I decided to make The Sacrifice. The sole means of returning to a normal relationship with life is to restore one's independence vis-a-vis the material things of life and consequently reaffirm one's spiritual essence. In this film I deal with one of the aspects of this struggle for anyone living in society: the Christian concept of self-sacrifice. If one has never known such a feeling, never experienced such a desire, then, as far as I am concerned, one ceased to be a man, one begins to revert to the animal condition and becomes a strange machine, an object to be experimented with by society and the state. On the other hand, if one acquires a moral autonomy, one may discover within oneself a capacity for self-sacrifice.
不需要 妻子的hysteric
When one is hungry, one goes to a shop and buys something to eat; but when one is truly depressed, in a kind of spiritual crisis. there Is nowhere to go, except to sexologists and psychoanalysts who have no understanding of what is going on inside one. They are voyeurs and chatterboxes, who console you, soothe you and cost you the earth. They are charlatans, but terribly fashionable charlatans.
信息之奴
In my films one often finds the theme of language, whether present or absent. The fact is that the power of speech which has been given us has an absolutely extraordinary influence. It can inspire us to great or evil actions. And yet, these days, it has lost its value. The world is jam packed with empty chatter. All that information of which we pretend to have such need - consider radio and television - all those permanent infinite debates to be found in newspapers, all that is empty and meaningless. We imagine that, to survive, man has to know all kinds of things which in fact he does not need in the slightest; it's a strictly useless kind of knowledge. We shall all die beneath the weight of this garrulous information. In reality, it is better to act than to speak. As for the words, the phrases, with which we communicate - and this applies to art - they ought to be divested of all trace of passion. It is in the nostalgia that we feel for the Olympian principle, for its coldness, its classical sobriety, that resides the magic, the secret, of the great metaphysical masterpieces.
回到你自己introverted rather than the reverse.
Obviously, the artist himself is a creature of passion, but he dilutes that passion in the forms that he creates. In any case, inserting one's own emotions in a work of art is always vulgar. That's why I am so attracted to Oriental art; or else Bach, who is an ideal representative of art, or Leonardo da Vinci. Though each man most be Capable of expressing himself that he must channel his self-expression does not imply having publicly to produce a book or a film. It is this human vanity which is so typical of the West and which is not to be found in the Orient whose philosophy demands that man withdraw into himself, that he be introverted rather than the reverse.
=====================
I could see that he obviously was not very interested in lighting. To him, of primary importance were composition, camera movements, the literally moving image.
Close-ups are also strikingly rare in Tarkovskij's movies. He preferred to see the actors' movements at a distance, almost choreographed, and alway in the center of the frame.
We had special-effects people brought in from England as there was a requirement in place that the house burn down in eight minutes and ten seconds sharp. Otherwise the film cartridge would run out.
For an entire week this scene was meticulously rehearsed. We had decided to not shoot the scene under sunlit conditions, and so we were forced to get up at two o'clock in the morning, do a few test runs, and then to commence shooting the scene at a carefully selected moment just prior to sunrise.
Approximately half-way through the take, my assistant yells out, "Sven - the camera is losing speed! We got twenty..., now we're at sixteen frames per second! What shall we do?"
We received some additional funding through our Japanese co-producer, and in the end we all decided to give it another shot. Nothing is impossible, as Ingmar Bergman was fond of saying. It was his gang behind the camera here. The house was re-built!
Fortunately, it turned out just fantastic. As the smoke billowed forth from the house the sun shone right through it and generated some truly great shading on the ground. It was a lucky strike indeed that the sun appeared - entirely to our advantage, and Tarkovskij was exceedingly pleased when he saw the end result.
I also asked him why he never showed up in Rome. "I was too shy," he said, "Bergman and Fellini are way too big for me."
----------Sven Nykvist
On the Shooting of The Sacrifice
4 ) 《牺牲》是老塔最差劲的电影
老塔刻画了亚历山大这一带有极强殉道意义的形象,整部电影有浓郁的西方宗教风格,在核战争的背景下,亚历山大向上帝祈祷,以自我牺牲的形式来渴求神的帮助。电影从一开始的《三圣贤之旅》至结尾带有新生意义的呼应,都带有浓烈的宗教符号,从核战争为分界线,前半部分是哲理与文明,后半部分是疯癫与混乱,自此人与人之间的关系不再和谐,人们开始抛弃部分和平生活中所漠视的伦理与秩序,世界成为压抑的颓废的荒原,仿佛瞬间跌落莽荒时代。
此时,和谐的婚姻成为抱怨的尴尬关系,文明法则被打破成为践踏着斑马线前进的“野蛮”,一个拥有高深哲理与厚重道德的无神论者转而向神祈祷渴望救赎,化身为一个耶稣式的人物,以一己之力背负整个世界的罪恶。乱世打破了人与人之间或者是人本身在一般时期难以发现的平衡与伪装,将一个个难题放到了所有人的面前。
一方面人们渴求理性与文明来给予自己选择与指引,亚历山大竭力地恢复以往的秩序与和谐,但当他看着这破败的树林时,一种反理性反文明的混乱让他感觉恶心,人类所在和平时期建筑的一切都在战争面前毫无抵抗力之力,人的思想在宏观的战争面前——尤其是核战争,那样无力与徒劳。
于是另一方面,人们在这种文明特征被隔离的情况下,开始追求原始的古老的文化传统,例如宗教,一个现代的代表文化的学者开始追向神的救赎。邮差是一个“信使”形象,在各大神话中都很常见,代表着神的启示,降临在尘世里的智者面前,指给他一条带有自我牺牲以解放世界的道路,邮差指示亚历山大拜访玛利亚并与她同房,也是最后在亚历山大燃烧房子给他拥抱的人,而玛利亚的形象就太明显了,这两个形象与家人相对,无论是战争前还是战争后都与家人群体保持着一定的距离与反差,这也是指代亚历山大的两个方面。
我很怀疑老塔在拍《牺牲》的时候是不是预言到这是自己的最后一部电影,似乎将自己之前所有精粹之处都糅合在一起,如《乡愁》的疯癫与自焚,《镜子》的现实与梦境的杂糅混合,《潜行者》的理性与信仰思考,《安德烈卢布廖夫》的自我救赎与悲悯世人。但在我看来,糅合得并不和谐,整部电影看起来充斥着混乱与过分的意识流,用一种宗教性的教条性的语言来刻画一种战争下人们的恐惧与失态,一种荒诞的意味充斥着从头到尾,太多无意义无根源的指向疯癫与信仰,强行地带入一种强势的宗教信仰主题,至少对于我这种无神论者来说,是难以接受以及无法理解的,在灾难面前,理性伦理无端地让步于信仰与神。所以我最喜欢的是女儿这一形象,她似乎是一切的旁观者,与所有的混乱疯癫隔绝,反而让我看到了安德烈卢布廖夫的影子,信仰不是非得与理性与冷静对立。
结尾在我看来也并非那么画龙点睛,这种前呼后应对于老塔应当信手拈来,只能说,这种极具预言性与轮回概念的开头让我一下子便能猜到结尾是小儿子日复一日地浇水,这个结尾远不如《乡愁》要震撼,像是那种千篇一律的劫后余生警醒意义,罪恶注定接上救赎,毁灭注定接上新生。
多说一句,我不太懂为什么很多人说老塔特别喜欢烧房子,我印象里也就烧了两次,而且《镜子》里完全只是衬托意义,如果看懂《镜子》精彩无比的叙事结构的话,应该就能知道那次烧房子只是一个毫不重要的环节,而《牺牲》里烧房子则带有一种极强的自我献祭以及兑现承诺意味。
总之,《牺牲》是老塔最差劲的一部电影,他还应该再拍长一点,我不理解亚历山大,无法理解这个不堪一击的世界,更无法理解拯救世界的成本如此之低,在我看来这部电影与《安德烈卢布廖夫》相反,一个是现代精英用宗教方式拯救世界,另一个是古典精英用创造客观艺术珍宝的方式来拯救自我,老塔构思了一个太精彩的有关救赎的故事,却没有把它讲好,至少对于我来说,是不满意的。
5 ) 塔氏是救世者还是逃世者?
经典的书写者是人。人是不可信赖的。那所以的经典都值得怀疑。千万别迷信,尽管它们是历史的。如果要盲信,圣经算一个,《老子》算一个。它们似乎没有“人的作品”的脆弱和局限。余下的一切都要冷眼旁观。
在电影里,塔尔科夫斯基却必须带着信仰看。不是它早已超凡出尘的缘故,而是缺乏信仰的人难以解读,也无法欣赏。就拿《牺牲》来说吧,为什么亚历山大要烧掉自己的家园?为什么他被家人认为是疯子而送进救护车?为什么他要去寻找邮递员(魔鬼)所说的“魔女”玛利亚?为什么做了玛利亚的情人就能拯救世界?问题的答案就在电影的标题——《牺牲》,是宗教奉献、祭祀的意思。只要我们每天都向日本树浇一桶水,终有一天这棵生命会复活。生命的意义与信仰联系在一起。这种无条件的奉献行为就是信仰。亚历山大(自知得了癌症的塔尔科夫本人)厌倦了和妻子、女儿日复一日过着令人满足而又绝望的小资生活,他怀着拯救“世界末日”的愿望,做了可怕的纵火举动,并期待着人类的新生。躺在树下的孩子代表着人类的希望说了第一句话:“人的开始就是语言,为什么?(《圣经》译为太初有道)”
在塔尔科夫的最后日子里,他不得不为自己的电影艺术做了断。选择与《乡愁》中多米尼科经历相仿的亚历山大做主角,塔氏通过他的喃喃自语、他的疯狂举动表达了自己对人类未来的先天下之忧。约瑟夫森回忆说塔氏常常真诚地谈起他对现代科技、核武器的忧虑,他复杂的天真对约氏的思想产生重大影响,直到今天犹存遗迹。我看到影片的末尾,亚历山大穿着道袍,黑漆漆的底色上着一个阴与阳符号,让我想到塔氏晚年对演员不做控制的导演方式,好像道一般让表演自生自灭,同时每一个演员又产生自己特殊的价值。他把重心放到意境表达上了,比如对古典美术、巴赫音乐的使用,传达出世纪末的文化怀旧情绪;塔氏简明的维密尔式的房间陈设,一窗一床而已;反映人类冲出精神教堂的黑白胶片的插入,都把塔氏的晚年心境与急着做总结的焦虑表露无余。
追求宗教画般的简约高贵的色彩,与尼维斯特出神入化的长镜头使用(如《七部半》中把塔氏的镜头风格说成是长久的凝视是恰如其分的,没有窥视、流览,而是如哲学家的眼睛一般缓缓观察),极佳地契合了塔氏的思想表述,成就了一部重要的堪称《乡愁》前传的电影(此片中他终于燃烧了自己。《潜行者》也相关)。我把这样的电影当成一种开放式的哲学谈话,从一开始对时间的感觉(总在等待真正的人生)、死亡、轮回的二人谈话(也许就是塔式幻想的与奥托所做的谈话),主角一个人独白的厌世、谴世,欣赏古典画作的高贵精神、祁祷——虔诚地转入对神的信仰,对恐惧的表达等等。我想,俄国人毕竟会向虔信投降的,他们深刻的救世论与向伯格曼致敬的瑞典小资性结合在一起。让我弄不清该把塔氏定义为救世者还是逃世者,抑或两者皆有?
附录塔氏与吉迪恩•巴克曼的访谈:“我也像戈尔恰科夫一样永远留在了意大利,似乎命运决定了要这样。安纳托里•索罗尼岑的死加深了我的宿命观。按我的设想,《乡愁》里的戈尔恰科夫和《奉献》里的亚历山大都是要由他来扮演的。他死于癌症,几年以后我也遭此厄运。”
“在国内从不考虑要花多少钱。我的主人公多半是弱者,我喜欢观察他们如何解决与动荡的社会环境的冲突,是退让还是坚持自己的原则。我的好朋友托尼诺帮助我设计了戈这个历史学教授,他的知己只有多米尼克,托斯卡纳居民眼中的疯子。他用世界末日吓唬自己的家人,把他们锁在家中七年之久。他始终寻求生命的意义,在他的观念中就是自由和狂热。另一方面他又像孩童般的好奇和敏感,他不像戈那样精神脆弱而且经历着深刻的生活危机,而很单纯、直截了当,并相信自己醒悟了的潜意识可以找到解决整个社会病态的出路。生活中的强者是那些能始终保持着童稚的信赖和直觉的信念的人。戈恰好缺少对自己的行为的信心,因此对多十分着迷。我认为自己是与土地、人民有着深厚联系的知识分子,我必须尽自己的最大可能创造出我们生活的时代的精神艺术。我尽量运用主观的逻辑——思想、梦境和记忆——代替主体的逻辑。”
“亚历山大是一位随笔作家、戏剧评论家和大学教师,他既体会过大恶(演RIII),也体会过大善(梅什金)。还有面对未来,以尼采专家学者奥托为代表,他说我恐怕不相信上帝。奥托说,不要伤心、不必苦恼、更不要指望什么。房子是塔氏电影结构的基石——代表亲缘、家人和世代的更迭。亚历山大的英国妻子阿德莱德(苏珊•弗利特伍德)当年无疑是个美女,也和意大利的尤金尼亚一样生活上未能得到满足,也穿着和她一样的潇洒服饰。她有一个成年女儿马尔塔(弗兰岑饰。前一次婚姻的产物),还有一个人物是此家人的医生兼朋友维克多(沃尔特)。他们过着悠闲自在的生活,在户外饮茶或咖啡,彼此深深互相吸引。母女间隐含着为英俊医生争风吃醋的意味。电视机里宣布的战争并没有立即带来末日气氛,而是妻子的歇斯底里大发作,她裸露着的光滑双腿晃来晃去,发泄出她内心隐秘的恐惧和情欲:对医生的依恋、对女儿的醋意,对丈夫的不满。摄影机再次推向达芬奇的《博士来拜》,这意味着一件重要的事情就要开始了。亚历山大的主观黑白镜头展现的是他的末日景象,他如同一个造物主。”

6 ) 犧牲與重生
面對近代性及極端科學主義,一切行將毀滅,猶若廣播中通告的大型核災難所昭示的那樣,亞歷山大因故只能在沉默中重複詩與存在主義的靈魂自省(複調配音),後來他將無助地羔羊般的自體完全獻祭并犧牲上帝,并終日沉浸在個人的祈禱之中——此時他或是反對永恆輪回這類典型的東方玄學的,他需要的是一個末世論及其在人間的實現,世界與宇宙的大更新,由當下波及歷史的整體性的圣潔的淨化/毀滅,然而在這表面的世界性的遺忘背後,還存在著永恆記憶的上帝這一本體性的位格。直到象徵著赫爾墨斯的信使驅使之與女僕瑪利亞過夜——祈禱治愈與救贖亞歷山大心靈的竟/必是一個身份貧賤的異端的女巫,她擁有所謂的瑪雅及魔法——基督信仰故與最原始、天真、質樸的自然信仰契合,事實上,具有母性之本體與功能的自然本身即蘊息著先天之圣愛的流溢,她平息了亞歷山大的自我毀滅與毀滅他者的衝動,以喚醒他對母親的記憶及對世界的、被遮蔽的本根的愛——(元)愛和(元)恨構成世界的引導性的本質價值,這才孕育了人的理性及世界的結構(舍勒論)。所以,塔可夫斯基的這一遺作隱喻了他的答案,開始將東方的道玄視為天啟宗教與自然宗教得到契合的象徵的中介之存有——這就是亞歷背面出現的那一陰陽魚的原因,故,亞猶若癲人莊子般,放火焚燒自家的別墅,而這一切皆標示著人類重投自然之道。
但最後,亞仍舊被近代科學精神下的囚籠——精神病院機制的坐騎所挾持。唯有亞歷山大兒子仍舊重複地種著那課象徵自然及生命循環的日本樹,嘴裡念念不忘著父親——這是一棵令基督教式的犧牲,重新在自然之道中重生、並以遺忘的表像記憶(重生的圓圈)或獲得真正遺忘(空空)的自然.世界.宇宙之樹是也。
看完《伊万的童年》再看《牺牲》,一首一尾。在5K的Mac上看19G的蓝光版画质太好,加一星。“万物起始就有了语言,而你却沉默得像条鱼。”搜集事件的收藏家-邮差。
亞歷山大比《鄉愁》裡的多米尼克還要自私。儘管電影的長鏡頭和場面調度力量十足,但是電影流於一個在末日為引子之下的精神自白過程。這讓人感到冗長和吃不消。自老塔被逐出蘇聯之後,兩部長片失去的似乎不僅僅是曾經賴于電影生存的母語。這樣的放逐只為老塔帶來虛假的自由和更多不必要的思考。
符号繁多,语言晦涩,但主题并不难懂,特别是当你对基督教的拯救和末世论有所了解的时候。我们可以把《乡愁》看作是彷徨和求索,而把《牺牲》看作是坚定地回答。这部电影完成半年之后,塔可夫斯基就去世了。
自我指涉:亚历山大末世之举和身体/精神状况;凝视待长成的儿子/后代和枯(新)木,意在献给其子;评论家身份、达芬奇画作加上地图探讨艺术之问题。自我警戒:面对(自我/世界)末世,吾将以吾身为牺牲,不论寓所或其他;女性/母体是人类归宿:旋转交媾/妻子崩溃姿势/女儿裸身逐雄鸡;水为万物之始终。
1986年戛纳评审团大奖,老塔的遗作。迷你房模似『乡愁』,浮空性爱同『潜行者』,屋子着火后的长镜头令人震撼,老塔在黑白和彩色之间频繁切换,阴暗房间中的众人寂静如画,浅谈着不合常规的往事,清冷的环境描写营造出了有如末世到来般的绝望。他是疯子,是真正的诗人。|结尾树升镜头与『伊万的童年』构成生命/创作循环。
其实老塔要说的话很简单,我们这个世界,不能更好么?
老塔遗作,1986戛纳评审团大奖。1.绝望,祈祷,信念,献祭,牺牲,希望。2.影调和色彩变换,灰暗阴冷的画面散发如临深渊的末世气息。3.微缩房舍同[乡愁],神迹展露(浮空圣交)似[潜行者]。4.老宅燃火的长镜惊为天人!5.结尾希望之树,想及[雾中风景]。6.由伯格曼班底资助拍摄。7.独白话唠后接戏剧化。(9.5/10)
我们寻找朋友,爱人,母亲,故乡,在陌生的人群中享受关注,喜欢,收藏,分享。这是你们的浪漫快乐悲伤失落,我们的疯癫文明野蛮狂欢。“回你的文明段落里,回你说过的话语里,回你的家吧!”然后烧了你的房子来上帝这儿吧。
只说我看懂的部分:回归童年,舍弃自我,展现神迹;用戏剧式极简表演解构复杂剧本;延树木伸展方向上摇与俯瞰大地和微缩房舍的对比镜头;由自言自语、思辨,直到放弃语言;标志性横摇中保持平衡构图,甚至成为半环形运镜;结尾长镜头和所有镜像的运用都太牛逼,远远超越其他导演。影调纯净,音效完美。
完全颠覆了对老塔的认知,前所未有的死亡/末日/恐惧三位一体的诡谲气息不断涌现,幻境的折磨与现实的灾难交织,却最终归于平静,在冲天的火光与属于东方的哲学思想里完成牺牲与新生,以语言的回归作为仪式般的神迹在绝望中给予世人最大的希望;预感到自己即将离开人世的老塔在这部遗作中把自己全部的能量迸发了出来,他就像是一个被人类抛弃的上帝,无比失望后依旧愿意将自己最后的爱给予世间,在喃喃自语中离开世界,电影之神最终“牺牲”了
为了生命,他必须牺牲,那怕是选择死亡。为了希望,他必须绝望。亚力山大在死中才看到了生,就像那棵树苗,只有在大地的气味中才能触目天空的临在。而亚力山大那怕是这般绝望,却也是热泪盈眶的。
再看《牺牲》。死亡气息(完成此片后不久塔去世),宗教救赎隐喻(达芬奇画《贤士来朝》、玛利亚与羔羊)。戏剧色彩,母亲歇斯底里;突发暴力瞬间。用滤镜,压抑或漂白颜色,几近黑白。开篇九分多钟长镜头,全片115个镜头。声音果然很引人注意。用巴赫《马太受难曲》。在伯格曼所居法罗岛附近拍摄。
老塔最奇巧复杂的一部片子,充满了祷告与爱,在我们因孤独而回避生命中的一切奇迹的时候,圣灵的风吹起,让我们苏醒与复活,我们终有一天会成为一棵枝繁叶茂的花树,到那日来时,求那火烧尽囚禁灵魂的错视空间,让我们紧紧拥抱,再不分开。
@新华,画质太差,没有睡去是最大的胜利。全片笼罩着世界末日般的压抑。死亡与新生。塔可夫斯基生命的挽歌,天鹅的绝唱,仍然是一位艺术家对自身与世界发出的疑问。只有塔可夫斯基的电影才配得上巴赫的音乐,伯格曼还差点。
“一棵孤单的树 / 连它的影子也会背弃它 // 除非有一个孩子每天提着一桶 / 比他本身还要重的水来 // 除非它生根于 / 泪水的播种期”——王家新《塔可夫斯基的树》
找到一个《牺牲》的新版本,字幕好多了,于是又看了一遍,终于理解了整个剧情。我愿意把中间那段核战争的情节理解成一场可怕的梦。仍然有缓缓移动的长镜头、若有若无的声源不明的声音,比前面几部片子少了一些诗意,多了一些舞台剧式的场面调度。与《乡愁》一样,这部片子充满了老塔的宗教情结和终极关怀。
这是创造者的末日情节,也是哲学论文——尼采式的绝望,自由意志的沉沦(日本、澳洲都像是逃走和示弱),语言学转向。最惊人的还是他用这么高的强度坚持自己认为必要的艺术形式,神圣的戏剧感,就像结尾用椅子搭出的积木,和大火。这是创造者的自由,是他给出的希望和安慰,像宗教和酒一样。
正是观看《牺牲》的节点,电影里塔可夫斯基愿献祭自己的一切重启那战争四起的世界挽留人类,但就现在来看某些地方的人类所建立的文明、信仰和秩序就是垃圾,哪怕那些平凡的英雄牺牲自己的一切乃至生命也重启不了那瘟疫肆虐却依然光辉灿烂的糟烂世界。
有时候重获希望只能将现有的一切付之一(二)炬。影片透露着绝望的窒息,片尾却是塔可夫斯基“把希望献给孩子”,像被他突然点醒一般
老塔的天鹅之歌是他的时空美学和伯格曼形式的奇怪结合体。他的长镜头调度依然美呆,然而伯格曼深邃的象征主义他却没有手拿把攥,于是影片里出现的各个符号都太过直接。我们都能感到他临终对于人类命运的关怀,也理解他一定要留下什么的抒发欲望。然而这些过于确切的意象总是跳出来扰乱影片冥想的气氛。
