希区柯克经典North by Northwest

huzhenxin

周末看了这部《西北偏北》http://www.bilibili.com/video/av7911831/?t=8156，真是不错。经典时代的腔调，加里格兰特和Eva Marie Saint，特别是Eva，完美演绎了什么是好莱坞经典时代的美女。希区柯克悬疑恐怖的手法自不用说，很多都是教科书式的示范，虽然时代比较远了，但是却能更清晰的看到导演的意图和手法。动作和特效不像现在的电影那样多，多到只有这些噱头。更看重演员表演和对白的功力。下面这段男女主在火车上“偶遇”的片段是我最喜欢的。细致的描写了两个不熟悉的人如何通过幽默的语言，双关式的提问和回答，以及暗藏的玄机和埋伏，达到推动剧情发展的作用。最重要的是他们对话的口音和腔调。

- Good evening, sir. One?|- Please.
A cocktail before dinner?
- Yes, please. A Gibson.|- Right away.
Gibson是一种鸡尾酒。

男主坐下的台子正好女主也在，对话的标准开头，break ice。
Here we are again.
Yes.
You recommend anything?
The brook trout.|A little "trouty" but quite good.
Sold.
"Brook...
...trout."
- There you are.|- Yes, sir.

女主一直看着男主，男主此时正在逃脱警察的追寻，转换话题的手法。
I know. I look vaguely familiar.
Yes.
You feel you've seen me|somewhere before.
I have that effect on people.|It's something about my face.
男主自我感觉良好，自性，自我幽默？

It's a nice face.
- You think so?|- I wouldn't say it if I didn't.
女主反问式的直接，表达有好感。

Oh, you're that type.
What type?
Honest.
Not really.
Good. Because honest women|frighten me.
Why?
Somehow they seem to put me|at a disadvantage.
- Because you're not honest with them?|- Exactly.
双关反问，女主其实才是真正的卧底，所以知道男主的所处情况。

Like that business about|the seven parking tickets?
What I mean is,|the moment I meet an attractive woman...
...I have to start pretending I've no desire|to make love to her.
大胆的进攻，男主显然是情场老手，毕竟有过两段婚姻，广告界的才子，老油条，赶紧利落不浪费时间。

What makes you think|you have to conceal it?
She might find the idea objectionable.
Then again, she might not.
暗示可以，显然女主也不是那种东方式的害羞，婉转，让人摸不着头脑的类型。算是西方是的”含蓄“吧

Think how lucky I am|to have been seated here.
Luck had nothing to do with it.
Fate?
I tipped the steward $5 to seat you here|if you should come in.
解释了男主能坐在这里不是偶然，当然这个更多是演给观众看的。

Is that a proposition?
再次试图升温，真热打铁

I never discuss love on an empty stomach.
You've already eaten.
But you haven't.
Don't you think it's time|we were introduced?
适时的承接，转折，自然的过度深入。配合画面和口音跟能理解什么叫说话是一门艺术。

I'm Eve Kendall. I'm 26 and unmarried.
Now you know everything.
该说的说，不该说的还是一点没说。高手！

What do you do besides lure men|to their doom on the 20th Century Limited?
I'm an industrial designer.
Jack Phillips.
Western sales manager|for Kingby Electronics.
No, you're not. You're Roger Thornhill...
...of Madison Avenue...
...and you're wanted for murder|on every front page in America.
女主的反击，显然女主显示了自己握有”先手“

Don't be so modest.
Don't worry.
- I won't say a word.|- How come?
I told you.
It's a nice face.
糖加棒槌，安抚男主不用担心

Is that the only reason?
It's going to be a long night.
这个转折是情场老手和新手的重要区别。当然如他们对话所说，一切关键是”看脸“

True.
I don't particularly like the book|I've started.
You know what I mean?
哈，这才是所谓婉约，其实女的一直在lead

Let me think.
I know exactly what you mean.

下面男主给女主点烟，R.O.T是火柴盒上男主的名字，后面还是一个重要的伏笔向剧情道具
That's my trademark. R.O.T.
Roger O. Thornhill.|What does the "O" stand for?
Nothing.

I'd invite you to my bedroom|if I had a bedroom.
这个是实质性的请求了，用一个假设性“虚”问题引出，可以用在如何像女生请求啪啪啪？呵呵，看脸

A roomette?
Nothing, not even a ticket.
I've been playing hide-and-seek|ever since the train left New York.
How awkward for you.
Yes, isn't it?
这里，男女主好虚，不过可以算是调情升温的“情”话

No place to sleep.
I have a large drawing room all to myself.
That doesn't seem quite fair.
Drawing room E.
Car 3901.
Such a nice number.
It's easy to remember.
See?
No luggage.
So?

You wouldn't happen to have|an extra pair of pajamas, would you?
Wouldn't I?
恩，如果你看着女主的脸听这句反问，简直是人生享受啊

I wouldn't order any dessert if I were you.
I get the message.
这里是男主的误会，不过当时很幽默，下一秒就转折戏路发展了

That isn't exactly what I meant.
The train seems to be making|an unscheduled stop.
I saw two men get out of a police car|as we pulled into the station.
They weren't smiling.

OK，一段精彩的场景戏就是这么拍出来的。
