侃侃的滴答

《Man Down》讲述由Shia LaBeouf扮演的男主角被战争、丧亲以及一系列内心世界崩塌的事件折磨、摧毁的故事。这部由Dito Montiel（《圣徒指南》）导演的最新电影以残酷的主观视角深入剖析了“英雄”破碎的内心世界，来帮助观众理解困扰着从战地回归士兵的内心创伤。 Gabriel Drummer（Shia LaBeouf扮演）是一位丈夫、一位父亲、也是一位海军陆战队的军人。当然，这些身份只存在于人文社会还未消亡之前。如今，Gabriel漫步在末日之后的国土上，与他的好战友Davin Roberts（Jai Courtney扮演）一起，在末日充满危险和牺牲的严酷环境下艰难地生存着。同时，Gabriel也在与自己的回忆作着斗争：他在阿富汗经历的可怕回忆；他挚爱的妻子Natalie（Kate Mara扮演）、以及他们行走在分崩离析边缘的婚姻；还有与军队中的心理医生Peyton上尉（Gary Oldman扮演）断断续续的交谈。在这些回忆的包围之中，愤怒、悔恨驱使着Gabriel用尽他所知的手段，找回自己失去的一切。。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。
