Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
人们总习惯将对真实人物的光环与情感,
“我感觉,有些事你不想对我说,我看不出你是在压抑想要亲近的愿望,还是压抑想要疏远的愿望。”
big house big car, life好easy
电影确实一般,但主演王丹妮挺好的。2003年4月张国荣离世,我是读报纸才知的,那时候不知道他是谁,报道上提到梅艳芳在葬礼现场悲痛欲绝,印象很是深刻;2003年下半年读大一,看报纸知道梅艳芳去世。他们辉煌的时代,我还很小没赶上。等我们知道他们时,他们都到了人生的尽头。而今看电影忽然想起这些。梅艳芳如此丰富的人生,电影只展现了一角,有些事情至今都不好明说。
11.14 四线小城蹲了三天终于蹲到一场粤语夜场!太不容易了……万达良心!我自觉得对梅姑的了解应该会比电影更多,但如今有机会在大银幕再睹绝代芳华,真是弥补了我晚生十年的遗憾啊!所以,一定要粤语,必须要粤语!// 11.16 23:11散场;夜雾弥漫,路上四下空荡,引擎低鸣如泣,回忆海啸般涌上心口,感谢王丹妮的演绎,已经没心情挑刺了——我TM快哭死了……
可惜了,人物传记不好拍,一部两个小时的体量,要讲亲情,友情,爱情,事业。什么都想讲,最后成了流水账。开始仿佛回到了港片时代,最后只剩下情怀了!
看这片子的感觉就像走在高速公路 特别赶特别赶。主演选的也都毫无灵气 泪点全是那个年代和梅艳芳本人带给我们的…
整体稍显工整而无趣,且选刘俊谦演张国荣着实相差太远了,这个选角可能是最值得诟病之处。然后传主本身实在打动人,她作为“香港的女儿”,勉励大家要奋励坚强不要失却信心勇气(香港精神),几乎是对当下香港人最大的支持和安慰。2003年,哥哥纵身、SARS肆虐、梅姐病故,昭示了最后的黄金时代谢幕。可人们还是会活下去。“我是四兄妹中唯一出生在香港的”“我要回去香港”“我要为香港出一份力”,这一切一切,无疑都是当下的余韵回响。(慢歌不是唱伤心,而是唏嘘;快歌不是唱兴奋,是反叛)(可惜反叛的部分被大大弱化了)(P.S.梅姐上过春晚的,并在春晚贡献了一段颇具先锋气质的表演)
刚开始的时候想骂不能拍拍不好不如不拍,但看完了却get到了那种明知道拍的太差但还是想再让大家再看看梅姐的委屈。五星全给梅姐,她是真的明星,也是真的感恩的人,谢谢她曾经来到过!
既流畅又温馨
说回片子本身。传记片难拍,主要在于剧本的打磨,一个不小心就会拍成拉流水账。本片正是如此。拔高立意的地方也只有假大空,相反,几处点到为止的小情节反倒过得去。
【小贴士:带够纸巾】
如果我的人生里能遇到Andrew这样的小太阳,那我一定是个幸运的人。
and,再过四年,我就有梅艳芳那么大了。。。岁月啊
全程面无表情的刷完,内心毫无波澜_(:з」∠)_我不懂爱情ヾ( ̄▽ ̄)Bye~Bye~
记住Cooper Raiff这个名字了,足够真诚细腻。
很私人化的一部电影,男女主的表演实在精彩,尤其是男主,总感觉他的眼睛里有光。
永远都会有人记得你。
基本就是流水账。没有深入发掘人物内心。对比阮玲玉就知道了。如果对梅艳芳不了解不热爱是很难共情的。很一般。不过也可以理解。相关人士都还活着。实在不太方便拍
没想到BIFF闭幕片比开幕片还烂,看完也确实蛮感动,但所有的感动都来自于梅艳芳本人,和这个烂片毫无关系,越是被梅艳芳本人打动,越对这个烂片子感到无语
