An outlier among Coppola’s corpus, PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED is an echt high-school chick flick that jumps on the bandwagon of the “time-travel” fad jump-started by Robert Zemeckis’ far superior BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985).
During the 25-year high school reunion, Peggy Sue (Turner) is so overwhelmed by old friends and memories that she faints on the stage when she is again crowned the “prom queen”, afterward, inextricably she wakes up in the year of 1960, the senior year of her high school. She gets a chance to relive her teenage days and most importantly, an opportunity to reassess the relationship with her boyfriend Charlie (Cage), because 25 years later, their relationship is officially on the rocks.
Light on the scientific explanation (a surprising Freemason ritual is as far as the mystery goes), as Peggy Sue is not particularly a science geek like her classmate Richard (Miller), a nerd shunned by most of his classmates, but in time will become a billionaire inventor and elected as the “prom king” during the reunion (the vindication of a typical American dream for a wallflower), the movie feints at the potentialities that Peggy Sue can benefit from being back from the future (“pantyhose” is a loose end), whereas the meat of the story hinges on Peggy Sue’s oscillation in whether or not she should break off with Charlie.
After a dally with the lone-wolf, poet-type cool guy Michael (O’Connor), who turns out to be a lunatic polygamist, Peggy Sue is designed to find some new perspective in Charlie that can embolden her to renew her faith in their union, and for that matter, the film nearly misses its mark, Charlie is the same old Charlie (Cage is too droll and wacky to pull a straight face as the straight arrow Charlie inspires to be, but the performance itself is a hoot and half), his love for Peggy Sue is genuine, but that doesn’t mean it can resist the corrosion of life as she knows it, eventually, Peggy Sue capitulates to the same life orbit, but not much on her own volition than the movie’s lazy prescription, tainted by its cheesy denouement, when she wakes again everything is just castles in the air (but ambiguity is implied by Michael’s published poems).
It is somehow refreshing to see Turner earn her sole Oscar nomination to date with this romantic fluff (BODY HEAT’s snub still hurts), but most strikingly, she has to turn a 40-something woman into a believable high-schooler with only minimal makeover in appearance, and not arouse suspicion when mingling with people who know Peggy Sue the teenager on a daily basis, a condition mitigated by casting a gaggle of 20-and-30-somethings as her classmates, it is nice to see those familiar faces like Cage, Carey and Allen, still filled with collagen, and a scrawny Sofia Coppola, the only real teenager in the picture. But the film is Turner’s home turf, who jubilantly tones down Peggy Sue’s worldly self-knowledge with genial amazement, vim and vigor, but speaking of the discernment of the opposite sex, that is, in evidence, not her strongest suit.
1、《佩姬苏要出嫁》跟以《回到未来》为代表的好莱坞青少年穿越剧最大的不同,是将女性作为主角,80年代女性运动、性解放思潮对女性的深刻影响被穿越到60年代的女主角表现的淋漓尽致。对时代价值观差异的展现,也成为这部电影的出彩之处。
2、但是不得不说,虽然披着性解放的外衣,这仍然是一部传达好莱坞典型价值观——回归家庭的作品,即使拥有改变世界的能力,穿越回去的佩姬苏仍然囿于爱情和家庭,做了与年轻时一样的选择。所以这一部电影与其说是穿越时空,不如说是对逝去青春的镜像回忆,重新找到爱的原因。
3、《佩姬苏要出嫁》不是一部典型的“弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉的电影”,反而非常的温情,台词幽默,结局完满,片中科波拉的女儿和侄子都参与了演出,某种意义上可以使我们理解为什么科波拉将其制作成一部温馨圆满的家庭片。
非常粉嫩的凯奇和凯瑞,不过装嫩的女主还没她妈妈有气质。剧情不过是女主的一场春梦,对于这种时间悖论的故事,与其妄想回到过去改变已知的现在,不如现在努力改变未知的将来。
听说夏洛特的结构抄袭了这片子,前排
夏洛特烦恼上映前本片评分7.1,现在在看看,黑子真可怕。
当故事题材和剧情设定还有主线发展的设计蛮相似,也难怪好些人不相信《夏洛特烦恼》与本片只是「纯属雷同」,反而更怀疑《夏洛特烦恼》与本片存在「抄袭与被抄袭」的关系?!…《佩姬苏要出嫁》:感觉一般,比较惊喜的是看到男主角竟然是「尼古拉斯·凯奇」;我还以为我看错人,果真是「金·凯瑞」!……
叙事中庸,和《夏洛特烦恼》比,不够出彩,也没拿情怀说事,完全不喜剧,很多人性、人情、现实思考,还讽刺了一把宗教,相当悲凉孤傲。女主醒来,男主回头是岸相对没有说服力。头尾的伪镜像演绎算是唯一亮点。完全不同意抄袭说!可以放心去影院二刷夏洛了。
看完夏洛据说有抄袭此片嫌弃特来验证,结果竟是如此平淡如水的一出戏,仅仅穿越回高中以及歌曲略有提到这两个明显的略相似,其余并无甚关联,结论是无尿点夏洛并无抄袭。@2016.6
无耻穿越抄袭夏洛特烦恼!
What a shame, women never learn! 穿越的概念很好 但编剧视野真的太窄,代入感甚至不如翻拍的那版《奇怪的她》
好无聊,浪费时间。女主太老,身材太魁梧不像少女,又作得要死,可怜凯奇大叔了,女儿倒是挺漂亮
其实我们公道地说,科波拉这部片子当时也是跟风了泽米基斯的《回到未来》,而且还没泽米基斯拍得好……但抄设定和抄故事结构是两回事好吧。
说《夏洛特烦恼》抄袭此片显然有失公允,一如你不能说此片抄袭《回到未来》一样。盖因穿越喜剧的矛盾、架构、包袱基本已经被挖掘的差不多了,而本片的水准也基本反应了科波拉在80年代的创作窘境,心不在焉亦无可厚非,并极力宣传已经崭露头角的侄子和女儿。
国内绝对评分过低了,虽然美式故事,但也有普世性价值和感悟。影片创意出色,表演细腻,摄影用心,三观很正。科波拉用屠龙刀也能切出银丝面。虽说夏洛特烦恼借鉴了本片创意,但走的是全新的故事,各有特色。
这部也不咋地,但只是作品平庸而已。所以呀,中学时抄作文,从来不抄满分作文,东拼西凑搞个及格就好。照抄好作品容易被发现嘛
作为一部大导演的作品,这部片子有不少“惊讶点”,一是它出奇的平庸,穿越剧花活却少得可怜,丝毫没有来自未来的”超能力“,剧本局限在了校园爱情、拜访过世老人等常规情节,三观正统;二是配角中日后成名的演员众多,能看到Jim Carrey,Joan Allen,Sofia Coppola,Helen Hunt等人演技生涯早期的样子。
“《佩吉·休出嫁》是弗朗西斯·科波拉继《教父》后最成功的影片,被评论家公认为美国1986年最优秀的影片,其成功之处在于新颖的题材——以梦幻的方式表现现代美国人的情感和生活,描绘出了充满怀旧气息的60年代和狂热躁动的80年代。”影评 但以我现在来看 不敢相信这是老科的电影 很糟糕
剧情和《夏洛特烦恼》完全不一样,而且影片质量也不如《夏洛特烦恼》。但凡是看过这部电影的人,都不会觉得《夏洛特烦恼》抄袭了《佩姬苏要出嫁》。
“无耻穿越抄袭夏洛特烦恼”
这个片子还真的挺温吞无聊的,女主夸张的表演就不说了,说到底女主真正想要的是什么,如果是独立自主重新选择,可她并没有怎么表现。反倒是傻小子二了吧唧一路追着表忠心,凯奇那个时候太傻了,捏着嗓子说话还挺不习惯的。总之片子设定不新鲜,也没觉得很明显夏洛在抄袭。
我觉得就算《夏洛特烦恼》的编剧真的想抄,也不会选择这么这么没品味的片子吧,我相信是卡波拉当年穿越到未来的天朝,然后重回过去之后抄了夏洛拍了这么部片子。这片子的时间穿越,穿来穿去,都没什么卵用,彻底浪费了时间的概念,也浪费穿越本该的无限可能,倒是几位熟脸演员当年很鲜嫩。
慕名而来,没想到科波拉居然拍过这样的喜剧。
