国王与我

以前看铁娘子的时候听到了这部电影的插曲shall we dance，一直记到现在。它陪我度过很多个不开心的时候。

电影架构在十九世纪中叶，那时候的西方社会流行的正是和《飘》一样的束腰鲸骨裙撑大裙子。因此看国王与女主角跳舞非常吃力，裙子半径太大了，想亲密接触都不太行。

本来是冲着这支插曲和服装设计来看，没想到被其中一段孔剧风格戏中戏所惊艳吸引。

泰国孔剧的面具和服装辨识度很高，可孔剧是哑剧且剧情极单一，这场戏中戏有旁白讲解，旁白与音乐、与演员的配合都很精准，旁白本身还押韵（英文押前不押后，这里押后）。看这一段的时候总不自觉与京剧对比，好像我京剧一样自有体系，演员手的翻飞比起京剧的腕花小云手来也不遑多让，原先觉得京剧无实物表演因很考演员功底而倍觉自豪，看了这一段却想，用极简单的道具表达舞台效果也是不逊于无实物表演的艺术手段。以白布象征水面，初有波浪，振白布使不平；后天神赐福使水面结冰，就渐渐铺下白布以示冰面的光滑平坦；恶人追至冰面上，日出冰化，白布渐渐升高表示恶人溺水。一块白布可以顺畅地表现不同场景，哇，叹为观止。（演员表演狗嗅的时候也很生动，腿太像狗尾巴了）

旁白是戏外人口吻来说，有“我很遗憾地告诉各位贵宾”这种话，期间结合剧情，讲旁白的仕女还想中断陈个情，跟布莱希特的间离效果也没差。

非常巧妙的一段戏。

英国家庭女教师和暹逻国王的故事流传了一代又一代，小说，音乐剧，电影，甚至动画片，无论运用何种艺术形式，这个讲述理解与友情的故事总是能让我们在心里一次又一次产生共鸣。 这次想和大家聊聊拍摄于1956年的电影《The King and I》。 早在电影开拍之前，《国王与我》的音乐剧就已在百老汇上演多年，剧本改编自英国作家玛格丽特的小说《安娜与暹逻王》。这本小说的内容也并非虚构，而是来源于英国人安娜·李奥诺文斯的回忆录，她曾给当时的暹逻王拉玛四世做过六年的家庭教师。  56年的这版电影拍摄很成功，获奖无数。尤·伯连纳的光头国王形象深入人心，我对这位浑身散发着东方情调的大帅哥记忆最深的，除了他那双深情的眼睛之外，就是在电影里他不断的一遍又一遍重复的 "Etc, etc, etc..." :P 暹逻王是位相当开明和上进的君主。他希望自己国家的强大，他邀请安娜来教授皇室孩子们科学知识，可是因为文化和阶级的差异，他和安娜之间起初总是冲突不断。慢慢的通过双方的努力（主要是安娜），国王一点点放下自己的架子，两人成了知心的朋友，甚至最后在自己弥留之际将孩子们托付给安娜（托孤？）。  我们美丽的黛博拉.寇儿饰演家庭教师安娜。站在国王身旁的她不卑不亢，充满了知性美。她和伯连纳的对手戏十分精彩，应该如何形容呢，嗯，就是充满了戏剧张力，至于原因吗，大概只能用存在于两人间的化学反应来解释了，哈哈。 大概大家对这部电影最无法忘怀的还是她的音乐，每当听到《Shall We Dance》的旋律响起，脑中便会浮现安娜和国王手拉手一起跳舞的场景。欢乐的舞蹈，愉快的旋律，似乎世上所有的烦恼都被一扫而空。 嗨，亲爱的朋友，Shall we dance？ ^^  We've just been introduced, I do not know you well, But when the music started Something drew me to your side. So many men and girls, Are in each others arms. It made me think we might be Similarly occupied. Shall we dance? On a bright cloud of music shall we fly? Shall we dance? Shall we then say "Goodnight and mean "Goodbye"? Or perchance, When the last little star has left the sky, Shall we still be together With are arms around each other And shall you be my new romance? On the clear understanding That this kind of thing can happen, Shall we dance? Shall we dance? Shall we Dance?

I watched this movie just by chance.

It's an interesting movie with different cultures from different countries that time. I'm interested in watching it as I saw there're Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. In this movie, Yul Brynner was acting the king, who had strong dignity and culture consciousness. His behavior was interesting and even funny from the eyes of people nowadays. I like his another movie, shooted in the same year with Ingrid Bergman, <Anastasia> . He's handsome and charming in that movie, also with a strong character, a man finally in love.

While Deborah Kerr is also a good actress, who had partnered with Cary Grant in few movies I like. <An Affair to Remember> might be known by quite some, but I like <The Grass Is Greener > better. In that movie, there're also Robert Mitchum and Jane Simons. That's really an interesting and humourous movie and I couldn't help laughing when I was watching it.
