About a Boy (2002)

Reviewed by Tom Dawson

Updated 25 April 2002

Hugh Grant's latest sure-fire hit is a shrewd, ironically amusing adaptation of Nick Hornby's best-selling novel.

Written and directed by Chris and Paul Weitz - the American film-making duo responsible for "American Pie", it's the perfect star vehicle for Grant, allowing him to finally move away from his usual bumbling, tongue-tied screen persona.

Sporting a wardrobe of designer casual clothes and a stylishly short haircut, he plays Will, a wealthy, single thirtysomething in North London. He doesn't work as such - the royalties from his late father's novelty number one hit provide him with a handsome income - but he's not idle: he buys CDs, watches television, and goes out to lunch ("How do people manage to fit in a full-time job?", he wonders).

Claiming that he has a child in order to make himself more attractive to single mothers, Will meets the troubled 12-year-old Marcus (Hoult), whose own hippy mum Fiona (Collette) has tried to commit suicide...

"About a Boy" may chart its central character's emotional awakening through an unlikely friendship, yet much of its humour derives from Will's profound immaturity: he's a congenital liar who makes inappropriately childish comments in grave situations, with his eyes seemingly glazing over during any "serious" conversation with another adult.

He regards his own life as "the Will Show", not an "ensemble drama", although falling in love with beautiful illustrator Rachel (Weisz) causes him to reassess some of these deeply-held certainties.

Capturing Will's surface charm and inner hollowness, Grant gives an immaculate comic performance, and he's ably supported by Hoult, who resists the easy option of making Marcus overly likable.

The brothers Weitz take few risks in their aesthetic choices: more importantly, they smoothly oversee a procession of humorous scenes, culminating in the improbable sight of Grant rocking out with his electric guitar at the school concert.

对不起啊,找不到100字的~

PS:我也喜欢这部电影=]

求电影《单亲插班生》分析

一部经典的英国电影,一个大男人和一个小孩之间相互影响的故事,其实影片原名为《About a boy》,中文翻译的确让人费解。

福瑞曼,年近40岁的英国单身男人,整天天无所事事、无忧无虑,不愿负责任,靠父亲的版权费过日子。突然他发现和单亲妈妈约会是一个很好的选择,因为她们更需要爱,更可能会放纵自己,最关键的是她们需要男人。于是他自称是单亲父亲参加了单亲联谊会,在此过程中他认识了一个漂亮的单亲妈妈的好友的儿子麦克斯。

麦克斯,一个十来岁的问题男孩,性格孤僻古怪,和患有忧郁症并曾试图自杀的的单亲妈妈一起生活,在学校备受欺负和歧视。

麦克斯天真地认为弗瑞曼能帮助自己的妈妈走出忧郁症,于是死命地缠住他不放。起初弗瑞曼十分抗拒,慢慢地两个人开始建立友谊并相互影响,弗瑞曼开始渴望家庭,麦克斯也逐渐融入周围的环境...

坦白说,影片实在是沉闷、无趣,没有嗲荡起伏的情节,没有动听的背景音乐。英国人的保守、拘谨、呆板在影片中展露无遗。如果不是我现在的特殊心境,也许我根本不会去看这部片子。

弗瑞曼的转变过程触动了我。除了我没有继承大笔遗产,也并非整天无所事事以外,我的生活也和他一样:一个人,自由自在、无忧无虑,不愿承担责任,不愿向他人敞开心扉,不愿面对认真的感情,下班以后,一个人看电视,一个人听收音机....

开始的时候,弗瑞曼坚持说,Man is an island(男人是座孤岛),最后他说,这不是我一贯的生活方式,但我似乎喜欢上了它...No man is an island.....

影片中有一段情节很让我感动,麦克斯恐惧回家,每天放学后不请自来地到弗瑞曼家去。开始时,弗瑞曼不愿理他,两人只是呆呆地坐在沙发上看电视,慢慢地弗瑞曼习惯了有麦克斯的日子,每当麦克斯放学的时候,他开始期待门铃的响起...

其实,依赖与被依赖的感觉很好......
