other title: 朱诺和孔雀
影片是导演希区柯克在1930年根据希恩·奥凯西的舞台剧改编成的。同样这部影片也是被称为“悬念大师”的希区柯克的早期作品。 什么是悬念?希区柯克曾经给悬念下过一个著名的定义:如果你要表现一群人围着一张桌子玩牌,然后突然一声爆炸,那么你便只能拍到一个十分呆板的炸后一惊的场面。另一方面,虽然你是表现这同一场面,但是在打牌开始之前,先表现桌子下面的定时炸弹,那么你就造成了悬念,并牵动观众的心。 《朱诺与孔雀》着重体现战争年代人们的生活状态,精妙的构思以及故事的突然转折,无不体现了悬念的魅力! 爱尔兰的局势动荡不安,公民党执政,四处抓捕对立派,镇压集会,政府认为地下组织准备起义推翻政府,重建新的国家。 就这样,爱尔兰人民没有安宁的日子,人们讨厌战争和暴政,真想把执政党赶下台,对国家完全失去了希望,每个夜晚都担惊受怕。而且在艰难的日子里,所有人都很难找到工作,“船长”伯尔梦想出海,巨大的家庭债务让他头痛不已,如何生存下去成为了非常严峻的问题。当他走投无路时,朋友馈赠给他一笔遗产解了燃眉之急,可也让他放弃了梦想,他更加懒惰了,不再寻找工作,很快钱用完了,家里又变得一贫如洗,灾难再次降临他的头上,女儿身患绝症无钱医治,儿子也被警察以叛党罪逮捕枪杀,面临灾难,伯尔抛下可怜的妻子走了。
