其实单从情节安排上来说,各种穿插呼应,确实很好,个别地方,比如打猎那里很拖沓,结尾苏菲情感的转变也比较粗糙,尤其是写了分手信之后,还有另外一个外甥不知道是啥身份,什么下场。
舅舅来到庄园,见到床上有个婴儿,收为义子,男主长大后胡闹玩乐,和荡妇有染,以为孩子是自己的,结果去找她,发现床头藏着他老师(这里笑死了),女主出场,男二放走了女主的小鸟,男主给她抓回来,掉河里了,女主对男主有好感,两人一起玩,确定恋情。
男主母亲和舅舅乘马车出事故,母亲去世,舅舅九死一生活了过来,男主为他高兴,其他没分到遗产的人很不爽,准备嫁祸给他,男主和荡妇瞎混,被炮灰男二捉奸,挨打,正好女主来了,救了男主但是心里很不爽,带男主回了家里。女主姑妈来了,认为女主有意中人,是男二,就让女主父亲去说亲,结果女主说不是,要去找男主,父亲阻止。
同时男二在家里向舅舅告状,说男主坏话,于是男主就被打发走了。男主先是遇到一支军队,被打破头,晕了过去,醒来时,钱都被偷走了,他也被赶出旅馆,然后遇到打他的仇人,救下瓦特太太,去了另一个镇上。
女主为了找男主,离家出走,路上遇到逃避醋缸丈夫的表姐,几人同行。男主和瓦特太太吃饭那一幕真的很诱,然后两人同床,被表姐丈夫捉奸,正好表姐和女主来了,听到女仆说的话,女主很伤心,遗留了一个什么袖筒(?),待离开时,发现父亲和姑母来了。男主逃出来时,见到女主父亲,又跳窗走了。
然后男主遇到假的父亲,曾经舅舅的理发师,得知了自己的部分身世,他去了伦敦,暂时住下。在去找女主表姐时,被一个贝太太看中,收到舞会邀请函,成了贝太太的情人,然后和女主越走越远,无法摆脱贝太太。
后来男主写信给贝太太求婚,被女主看到,彻底伤心。男主去找女主表姐想办法,被姐夫误以为偷情,两人打了起来,然后被男二雇的人诬陷入狱,被判绞刑。
理发师为了救男主,去找瓦特太太,然后去找舅舅,坦白了一切,(这里想起男主和瓦特太太睡过,差点就成俄狄浦斯了23333),舅舅赶紧找人去救男主,最后“刀下留人”部分确实是大家都爱看,女主父亲砍断绳子,把男主救走了,然后happy ending,就是有点仓促
如果有这种印象就错了。菲尔宁洞悉生活,不会以外表去观人,经验就是人性不能彻底的无私,若彻底的无私是美好的。
小说中,菲尔丁塑造了索菲娅·惠斯特这样一个温柔美貌的形象,一个让人陶醉符合大众审美的女生,温柔美貌的女孩子。天性淳朴,但不愚蠢;循规蹈矩,不会咄咄逼人;有性格,有毅力,有勇气;心地纯真,美丽动人。
塑造这个角色的时候,菲尔丁心中是想着他心心念念的妻子,感人至深催人泪下。
这部应该算是巨蟒与圣杯的前身吧,又一部英式无厘头的荒诞喜剧,里面有些桥段现在看来已经过时,但是还有些梗现在看来仍然非常有喜感,尤其是在旅馆餐桌前Tom Jones 和他救回来的大妈一起就着各种海陆食材互撩的那场戏……大屏幕的观影体验非常能带动人,间或着来几段全场大笑,一个人对着网络资源可能就难有这样的乐趣了,我就忍受下这场字幕组的糟糕表现吧,本想给8分的,1分扣在字幕上面了。以上
"a resplendent period treat enveloped with ample, lilting, euphonious selections, both aurally and visually."
British New Wave practitioner Tony Richardson’s rumbustious Oscar BEST PICTURE champ has been degraded to something of a damp squib half an century later since its triumph is deemed as“unworthy” by general opinion, in IMDB it holds a 6.7/10, quite a nadir for a redoubtable title-holder.
But if a viewer gives it a try with this scrumptiously restored Blu-Ray edition (retrofitted with Dolby Stereo), the consensus is, at the very least, a resplendent period treat enveloped with ample, lilting, euphonious selections to please one’s ears and a carefree comedy-of-errors as much beholden to a unique faux-naïf whiff of British nobility as to its often vacuous, non-sensical happenings, which are transmuted from Henry Fielding’s 18th century source novel THE HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A FOUNDLING.
Our young hero Tom Jones (Finney), whose parentage is the film’s best kept secret, is a foundling adopted by Squire Allworthy (Devine), in due time he wins the heart of the young lady Sophie Western (York) with his chivalry, but also has no qualms about copping off with a luscious Molly Seagrim (Cilento), the daughter of a local peasant, and even gallantly defends her names on the back of his black horse, an atypical knight-in-the-shining-armor, the truth is, Tom is a magnetized draw toward the opposite site, which the film flogs to death through the mouths of his many a female admirer, but as fresh-faced as he is, Finney’s dreamboat quotient is not potent enough, his appearance often betrays a tinge of sophistication which will mature tangibly with time, ergo, it becomes slightly vexing in this nominal “female gaze” outlook that tapers into frivolity, once Tom sets his foot on his own to explore the world.
On the one hand, it looks bizarre now, that the film holds an unmatched record by securing three Oscar nominations in BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS category (with no win though), granted that the film does present a menagerie of vivacious, delicious and colorful personages: a transmogrified Cilento is a brazen sight to behold; Dame Edith Evans is right on the nose as Sophie’s spinster aunt, a moralistic do-gooder cannot be bothered even by a pistol-wielding footpad; Joyce Redman makes splashes with her infamous duet with Finney in their food partaking flirtation as Mrs. Waters, and is spared with an incestuous scandal in the final reveal, apart from those aforementioned three Oscar-nominated ladies, a Golden Globe-nominatedJoan Greenwood doesn't cede her reign to anyone else as the amoral Lady Bellaston, but in the event, every character, including the bibulous luvvie Hugh Griffith as Sophie’s fatuous father, David Warner’s vicious turn in his screen debut and a scene-stealing David Tomlinson as Lord Fellamar who is blatantly ready to ravish his object of desire, even the two leads Tom and Sophie, is wanting of a magic potion which would lend them some substance other than a caricature or a skin-deep nonentity.
On the other hand, Richardson maxes out his aptitude to marshal this picture into a resounding spectacle other than the usual suspect of a knockabout ruckus, from its beguilingsilent skit opening to the sweeping grandness of a deer hunting hoopla, and to the riveting sword fights, to say nothing of its opulent decorations and garments, one must hand it to him for his audacity and faculty in burnishing this episodic shaggy-dog story as integral as it could be, notwithstanding the shark-jumping ending is visibly rushed, and that final illegitimate-status-to-noble-extraction volte-face is such a conformable device rightfully harking back to the novel’s antediluvian provenance.
referential film: Tony Richardson’s LOOK BACK IN ANGER (1959, 6.9/10).
汤姆·琼斯先后跟农家女野战、中年妇女开房(两人共进晚餐的段落真是色情满满,若不是电影最后说珍妮·琼斯不是他的亲生母亲,那他俩在旅馆就是乱伦了)、富家女偷情,感觉即使苏菲跟这么个善良的花心大萝卜在一起了,也不太会幸福?……默片式的前序交代、蒙太奇的恋爱过程、定格的偷听方式……部分拍摄手法滑稽幽默,但剧情于我还是不够有趣,整体感觉还行吧。
@英伦大师展 记得《认识电影》里对《汤姆琼斯》在文学改编电影历史上的地位评价极高。这种近乎癫狂的戏谑拍法发展到后来可能催生了特瑞吉列姆的无厘头喜剧吧。
乱成一团。。。笑成狗。。。而且用各种杂耍的形式逼你笑!!!British New Wave代表作!Woodfall工薪阶层喜剧大制作。。。英国人教全世界”活在当下“!
无泪的欢乐。有些镜头蛮不错。故事性差强人意,大概读小说是更好的选择。
Handsome Albert!~…想起了前年英伦展的Monty Python and the Holy Grail和上影节的《将军号》!~…这类片子我绝对是影院里最“自得其乐”的之一!~…今天的两部再给我来一打!~…(坚定了我要继续all英伦展的faith!~…
实在搞不懂这样一部闹剧为何能够赢得奥斯卡最佳影片。
这部很欢很欢的电影告诉我:出身就是一切,这条真理永远都不会改变。
荒诞的英国喜剧,荒唐而有趣。也让我们见识了当时英国上流社会的堕落、肮脏和丑恶。
原谅我一生放荡不羁爱自由。
好吧……这是一部基本让我蛋疼的电影……种种迹象表明,这是英国人的一次自我开涮……为这种自嘲精神、为很英式幽默的旁白、也为芬尼大叔的疯癫表演(他那里有帅……),多打一颗星好了。不过至今不能理解这个奥斯卡最佳影片的小金人怎么划拉到手的。
【上海英伦大师展】1964年奥斯卡最佳影片、导演、改编剧本与配乐+威尼斯影帝。1.典型后现代式无厘头喜剧片,叙事上:脸谱化的人物+夸张的情节+猝然强行反转大团圆的结局,形式上:角色各种打破第四堵墙的言行&旁白剧透、自指(如“以下照例省略激情戏”)与自嘲&出片名前的数分钟仿默片式开场+圈入圈出转场+高速剪辑+降格镜头(追逃戏)+定格镜头蒙太奇(男女两人门外偷听场景)等拼贴式的电影语言。2.最有名的段落当属两人边吃海鲜与水果边调情的正反打蒙太奇了,极具性暗示。3.一处妙到毫巅的压缩银幕时间技法:在单个镜头中,汤姆·琼斯由左至右连续数次入画与出画,每次都骑在马上,但骨折的胳膊都愈加趋近于康复,摆出不同的姿态与动作。4.不得不说,当年奥斯卡的确勇气可嘉,竟然会给一部如此戏谑的闹剧式电影颁发多项最有分量的大奖。(7.0/10)
大部头小说改得相当流畅了,很多当时的神来之笔。大家闺秀爱上放荡不羁到天真浪漫的纯浪子,也蛮一言难尽了。看了眼导演生平,了解了。

相当闹腾!而且风格百变,花样不断,毫无征兆突然就打破第四面墙
1.5。故事本身有向史诗电影靠近的倾向,但是叙事方式完全就是英式无厘头喜剧。抛开视听语言和叙事基调,本片内容基本接近库布里克的《巴里林登》,可是质感上完全天差地别,再次证明库布里克对题材的精准把握力度。英伦古典社会阶层的沉浮在一个异类的戏剧人生中一展无遗,既是命运弄人的无奈又是阶级选择的必然,但是此层社会指向却在电影好不正经的风格中完全消解,丝毫不能感受到严肃的深入讨论,而结尾突转的happy ending更是将电影拉向了俗套的商业模式,唯一给出一个"活在当下"的借口为结尾留下了一丝回味。
导演怀着戏谑的心态拍片,旁白是其一,提供一个戏外的视角,动不动让演员直视镜头,或者把帽子扔上去,切镜头的方式也多种多样,这些花哨的东西掩盖不了汤姆这个人物的糊涂,极讨女人喜欢这一点毋庸置疑,他与苏菲的爱情就看不出所以然了。
菲爾丁用這麽一個鬧劇實際上就是告訴大家一個事實:作為棄兒的湯姆將永遠流浪,永遠做小白臉,永遠過著朝不保夕的生活,如果不是後來真實身份出來。故事就在這財富,婚姻,名譽紛至沓來的時候戛然而止,很讓人印象深刻。如果這篇小說加一副標題:論出生背景的重要性,會讓更多人理解和喜歡。
三星半。虽然该片获得了当年的奥斯卡最佳影片和最佳导演,但该片的水准是比不上同属英国自由电影运动的《如此运动生涯》《撒谎者比利》等影片的。严格来说,该片也算是略有突破,就是对英国古代生活的展示:粗鄙、野性、贪婪、可笑。汤姆·琼斯这个人物的塑造,兼有英俊与粗野,很好的不完美主义标本。
低配版《巴里林登》,低下层的逆袭史,闹剧式狂欢,俗气中的生气勃勃,直视镜头的破墙手法分分钟暗示你莫要当真。以遭遇的人物为间隔的分段叙事沿袭《坎特伯雷故事集》式讲故事风格,诙谐而讽谑的坊间传闻亦一脉相承。
三星半,20190106@大光明重看,如果有机会在影院,特别是近千人的观众一起欢笑,特别是你后排的同学笑点又很低,如果不被现在观影体验和观念来评价本片,其实观感还是高于6.6这分数的;美版卡萨诺瓦,一位又怜香惜玉又动不动拈花惹草的“孤儿”的探险之路,同时也是吐槽电影戏剧等艺术形式的陈词滥调的一路恶搞和大型吐槽集,你看贵族们的狩猎何其夸张“宏伟”,你看“吃饭调情”何其香艳,你看主角不到片尾是肯定不会死的,你看身世浮沉废话太多让穿针引线的女士一总结何其简练呀……根本是伊伯特爷爷《我知道你们又来这一套》的电影版嘛
