2014年十大影片之選——時(shí)報(bào)金牌影評(píng)人推薦

5. Even if it did not open in the midst of a season of racial inflammation, “Selma,” Ava DuVernay’s meticulous reconstruction of a crucial chapter of the civil rights movement, would arrive bearing the burdens of history. It’s not often — it’s pretty much never — that a major studio allows a black woman to direct an expensive, prestige-laden historical drama. But the stiff, bland, self-congratulatory pageantry that so often weighs down such projects is entirely missing here. There is instead a palpable sense of political urgency as a vivid assortment of characters (importantly but not exclusively David Oyelowo’s the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) quarrel over strategy, tactics and the moral future of America.

5.艾娃·德約列(Ava DuVernay)的《塞爾瑪》(Selma)是對(duì)民權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)中關(guān)鍵一幕的細(xì)致重現(xiàn)，即便它不是在種族沖突如火如荼之際上映，也必將滿載歷史的負(fù)擔(dān)。大制片公司讓一個(gè)黑人女導(dǎo)演來執(zhí)導(dǎo)一部花費(fèi)高昂而充滿名人的歷史劇是很少見的——根本就是前所未有的。但是這部影片里完全沒有類似題材中常見的那些拘謹(jǐn)、平庸、自我贊美的盛大場面，而是各種形象鮮明的人物對(duì)戰(zhàn)略、策略與美國的道德前景展開辯論，令人清晰地體會(huì)到政治上的緊迫感，大衛(wèi)·奧伊羅[David Oyelowo]飾演的小馬丁·路德·金博士[Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.]是片中的重要人物，但不是唯一重要的人物。
