Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife's killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he's going, or why.

这种“分段倒置”的特殊叙事结构成功地制造了悬念,可是没有事实或心理的依据。除了叙事结构以外,我认为还有两样东西被用来制造“碎片”的效果,就是特写镜头和跳接。

我觉得蒂姆·伯顿的电影经常在处理一个问题,就是童话世界与现实世界的关系。但在这部电影中,现实世界退后,只有童话世界在前台。并且,这个童话故事是一个典型的好莱坞模式的故事。所以,跟蒂姆·伯顿其他电影比起来,这一部就显得比较平庸。

恐怕美国的二战影片第一次以这种面貌出现吧。狂欢式的音乐、充满偶然和暴力的故事情节,都是昆汀的显著风格。编剧很好,节奏越来越紧张、越来越扣人心弦。继《低俗小说》之后,昆汀又一次让我们看到他的实力。

我想这部电影的特点应该是写实主义的光影、手提摄影、主观镜头。就像越战催生了很多越战电影,伊拉克战争又催生了很多伊战电影。这部片子不错,但终究还是以美国人的视角拍的,什么时候才能出现以伊拉克人的视角创作的电影呢?

这个故事还是显得有些平淡,问题解决得比较容易,阻力不够强大,好在后半段有所补强,不过最后这场最重要的辩论时间还是短了一些。我们总是拿美国跟我们比,不过其实美国也曾经是一个有人被处私刑、有人组织工会被抓的国家,正如在我们这里经常发生的那样。提醒自己这个事实可以让我们对未来更有信心。

这本书作为一本启蒙级的书以讲故事为主,跟当年林达的《近距离看美国》系列很相似,但对我来说已经不能引起像当年看林达的书那么大的快感。毕竟经过这些年的阅读,很多关于美国的事已经不是新知识。不过,看这本书还是能补充一些具体材料。关于美国权力制衡的政治制度已经不新鲜了,其他书都已经讲了很多,但关于社会福利和劳工保障、公民社会、媒体方面的内容还是让我感动。我们常说美国跟欧洲比起来是一个低福利的国家,但是看看具体材料才会感觉到,那些比较低的福利已经够让我们羡慕了。而蓬勃发展的公民运动更让我羡慕,因为比获取更难得的是参

警察局里和精神病院里的阴暗场景让人震惊,导演应该是调动了以前用在黑色电影里的所有元素。我觉得感同身受,因为类似的滥用权力的事件在我们国家时有发生。特别是精神病院那一段,我们可以看到所谓的科学怎样被纳入到权力体系中去并同样被滥用。我在想,如果权力更加强大而嚣张,如果因为恐惧或麻木而缺少了那些有正义感、责任感的牧师、律师、记者和有良知的警察,就像我们经常遇到的那样,我们该怎么办?我们还应该保存着希望吗?

本书是美国的一部断代史,勾画了从1932年罗斯福总统上台前后,到1972年尼克松总统任期内水门事件的四十年间美国政治、经济、文化,以及社会生活的全景式画卷。这是一部场景宏大,又描写细腻的历史巨著。作者对这四十年间美国历届政府从诞生到终结全过程中的两党纷争和内部分歧,对这一阶段全世界所经历的每一件大事都给予了特别的关注和叙述;同时,对这四十年间发生在全世界,尤其是与美国有关联的方方面面都给予了细致入微的刻画。从“补偿金大军”风潮、经济大萧条、总统竞选、二次世界大战、原子弹爆炸、朝鲜战争、越南战争、肯尼迪遇刺身亡、尼克松郑入水门事件,到美国人的精神风貌、社会时尚、各阶层的生活状况,再到演艺界的奇闻趣事、妇女的流行服装、青少年的时髦追求,甚至英语词汇的最新演变和人们的性观念都做了面面俱到的讲述。对于每一位读者来说,阅读此书是从本质上深刻了解美国的最简单、最有效的方法。
本书在1979年曾由商务印书馆出版发行过,它的面世在当时及以后的漫长岁月里曾在中国读者中引起过较好的反响,甚至对一大批中国记者的写作都产生了极大的影响。

编剧非常成功,把一次采访写得像一场战争,具有了电影剧本所需要的足够的对抗性。有人把战争写得平淡无奇,有人则把采访写得像战争……纪录片和剧情片的拍摄方式夹杂在一起,以前还是实验性的做法,现在已经进入了主流影片。从这部电影可以看到,从政和做记者分别需要什么样的素质。
