这个片子叫做《优雅的世界》实在是一个反讽。
看之前一直以为是一个很文艺的片子,其实算一个既不生活、也不黑帮的黑帮分子生活片。
海报做成宋康昊的大特写,带着典型的韩国混蛋表情,明摆着主打影帝牌。
不过,牌打的不错,影帝永远不会让人失望。
一张肉饼脸五味杂陈,变化万千,仿佛人间的所有酸甜苦辣全在这张脸上。
只是这个混蛋不是彻底的混蛋。
出去混要在大哥面前低了眼眉,回到家要面对妻儿的冷脸,还要忍受大哥的混蛋弟弟的欺负。
所谓人人有本难念的经,这种中年男人的挣扎、无奈、隐忍,凄凉,最是宋康昊的拿手好戏。
一次是在跟发小谈起对大哥的感情,一次是在空阔的豪宅里吃着泡面看妻儿的生活录像,抬头低头间,那表情让人忍不住对这个既不帅、也不酷的半老男人充满同情,甚至心疼。
看惯了韩国电影的生猛和残酷,这个结尾还算挺让人释怀的,除了有些心酸,有些凄凉,但是能有这样的结局已经谢天谢地了。
感觉韩国是盛产混蛋的国家,耻点比较低。
所以也只是在韩国电影中,姜仁九杀了自己的老大还能好好活着,还能为妻儿创造优越的生活。
但是,这优越的生活,与他无关。
看他落寞的在豪宅里吃泡面、洗衣服,就知道,这些都不是他想要的。
优雅的生活在哪里呢?
看完以后,想了很多,一落笔,就辞不达意。
我倒是宁愿把它当作一部中年危机片来看,就像杯酒人生,就像抢钱夫妻。
每个人从事的行业可能不一样,中年危机却是一样的。
事业已经到了顶峰,接下来全是下坡路;夫妻感情大不如前,孩子进入逆反期;想要过更高品质的生活,却囊中羞涩;改行无望,唯一会做的就是重复自己;身体也开始走下坡路,原来只是听过名词开始写到自己的诊断书上;付出了一切,到头来只是加速了自己的被遗忘。
采用黑社会这个背景,让这些矛盾更激化而已,除去上面所说,还让大叔游走在生死边缘。
大叔从威风的“虎帮”投奔到夹着尾巴的“狗帮”,从某种意义上,也是映射人到中年的转折。
一部作品要打动人,必然有某些更深层面、更普遍性的元素,透过黑道包装,我看到的是中年危机。
Page 1 A man falls asleep when waiting for the red light in the street at night.Page 2 The man is very careful with his car as he cleans a scratch on his car door. (USING DETAIL TO MAKE A STORY AND PERFORMANCE BELIEVABLE) He enters a factory and finds that his aide not only beats a man, but also wasn’t able to get the signature on the document.

At first, he is very happy about what he is seeing but soon he starts to feel bad about himself and his instant noodle that he is eating. Eventually he breaks down crying and breaks his instant noodle bowl.Page 107 In the end, he has to clean it up himself.
冲着宋康昊去的,因为他塑造了许多经典角色。
但是这部影片算得上是他的一部烂片了,至少我这么看。
从影片的名字和剧情可以看出导演很努力地想做一部不一样的黑帮片,但是不怎么成功。
不过影片也印证了“进黑帮易,出黑帮难”或“做坏人易,做好人难”的俗话。
黑社会中的恩恩怨怨想要完全摆脱做一个普通人是多么不易,恐怕唯一的办法就是把黑帮老板杀死吧。
世界是优雅的,世界更是猥琐的。
就好像马克思常常教导我们的那样,你总得辩证地看问题,你总得看到事物的两面,这样你才不会被世界驳倒,这样你才会更容易克服困难,或者这样你才能过马哲。
我是太喜欢电影的海报了,整整一张脸塞满了整个画面,怀着标准的韩国式猥琐笑容,嘴里叼着一根不相协调的优雅的女烟,背景是漂亮的大碎花图案。
现阶段我倍儿有心情看韩国电影,怎么样我都能看到轻松的味儿,至于说韩国人这两天在闹腾些什么,就不是我这里想要讨论的问题了。
宋康昊是一个韩国某社团的一个小头目,不是孤绝一人,拖家带口地带着妻子和一双儿女。
问题就在于要不你是个彻底的混混,要不了几年就横死街头的那种,要不你是个干正常工作的人,至少不用一天到晚把头系在裤腰带上。
宋康昊偏偏又做了黑社会,又梦想着田园牧歌式的生活,那生活会给你什么,可想而知,这个问题在老前辈《教父》那里已经讨论过了。
又觉得《优雅的世界》不用认《教父》这个老前辈,因为虽然大背景是黑帮电影,但是黑帮成分及其不专业,和遥远的西西里能差上好几个档次。
而《优雅的世界》里的黑帮之黑,却让我想起了《一个字头的诞生》里同样的荒诞情节。
不专业,让人捧腹,让人想到讽刺的电影名称,却让Mr.Pink跳墙。
电影前半段有个情节,宋大叔家里房子太老,水压不够,老婆洗头洗到一半没水了,让宋康昊提水过来,宋大叔睡意朦胧,一不小心重重地摔在地上。
宋夫人丢给他一块抹布,宋大叔久久地跪在地上,他是在体会失意的人生,水桶里的水就像洪水般涌来,把他淹没。
宋大叔想给家人一个好生活,所以他付出了,他得到了,他也失去了。
影片的最后一个镜头很漂亮,宋大叔收到被自己送到国外过着优异生活的家人的录像带,他自己坐在梦想已久的大房子里,水压很好,电视机很大,却没有老婆,没有儿女,吃着方便面。
他一边欣赏着家人在国外的优雅,一边体会着身边的世界的猥琐。
他把手中的方便面重重地摔在地上,出画,然后再猥琐地走回来……http://imapollo.blogbus.com/logs/27609733.html
一个混迹在黑社会里的小老大一方面忠实于自己的“职业”另一方面又要做一个好老公好老爸这位大叔在这两个角色中滑稽地换来换去可爱的大叔猜想一下结局或许他真的会被家人从加拿大寄来的温馨录影带打动卸下老大的角色去做个全职的老爸老公
去年《看电影》评选过一套“百佳韩国电影”,前十部我看过七部,对于韩国的顶级电影也算有大致的了解,窃以为一年后的今天如果重排这个榜单,《优雅的世界》应该能进前十。
《优雅的世界》可能不及《杀人回忆》和《老男孩》,但基本上能与《朋友》并驾齐驱,宋康昊和吴达洙两个人的友谊虽然着墨不多,但显然胜过《朋友》中张东健和刘五性的洋洋洒洒。
而且《优雅的世界》绝对比《八月照相馆》和《死不张扬离奇失魂事件》出色。
当然,至少在我的观影经验中是这样的。
我判断一部电影是否优秀的唯一标准就是它有没有吸引力让我一气呵成地看完,《八月照相馆》和《死不张扬离奇失魂事件》显然不行。
《优雅的世界》讲的无非还是人在江湖身不由己,题材陈旧,故事缓慢,但张力十足,这其中宋康昊要占一半功劳。
整张海报就是宋康昊的一张大脸,整部电影也像是他的独角戏。
实在纳闷,这个肥头大耳的老大叔怎么总是让人充满惊喜?
这部电影是叫《古惑仔的幸福人生》吗?
什么,不是?
在监狱几进几出,贤淑漂亮的老婆还没跟他离婚,你说不幸福?
原本恨他巴不得他死去的女儿在看了几张照片后就忽然原谅他了,你说不幸福?
挟持老大的弟弟之后装在汽车后备箱,发生交通事故,直接导致人质死亡,却只被以交通事故论处,你说不幸福?
因为老大有私藏枪支,所以夺枪杀死曾经在自己最困难的时候帮助自己的老大也被判是正当防卫,你说不幸福?
靠各种暴力手段发家致富,不仅住上豪宅,还可以供妻子儿女国外定居,你说不幸福?
如果这不叫幸福,世上就没有不幸的人了。
宋康昊的演技真心好,剧透剧透为家庭撑起一个优雅的世界却被排斥,因为他是会打架的黑社会,是出门害怕会被别人从背后捅一刀的黑社会。
不小心看到女儿日记却看到女儿希望他被流氓捅死,自己一个人坐在客厅喝酒,女儿报警后还护着她让她先回去。
电影中若有若无的孤独感,不被理解,被人追一个人杀后回到家里黑漆漆的房间没有人,自己吃面。
监狱里有一段妻子问他会洗手不干吗,这里他是经过深思熟虑的才会说出下次见回避了这个问题,所以出来的时候黑社会的朋友来接他来了,和女儿却没来。
影片最后四十多岁却得了糖尿病,医生简单的回答,他反问就这些吗?
没有别的要说的吗?
没有别的要嘱咐的吗。
因为孤独所以哪怕是生病也想让别人多说两句。
买来了大房子妻子和女儿却去了加拿大,自己一个人在空荡荡的房间里吃着泡面,看着从加拿大发过来的DVD,笑了却哭了,把碗打碎了还是自己一个人收拾。
电视机女儿的日常生活和他形成对比。
所谓优雅,是因为有人在背后狼狈的付出。
职业规划很重要参加过面试的人总会遇到这样一个问题。
“请问你的职业规划是怎样的?
”这样一个看似平淡的问题通常却暗藏杀机,一不留神就有可能与这份工作SAY GOODBYE。
当然,这个问题是不可能有一份万能的答复可以让所有面试官满意的。
一切都得因人而异,因环境而异,因行业而异。
假使这问题瘫在宋叔叔面前,他指定会蹭着后脑勺左右环顾,最后上下打量一番主考官,腾的站起来:你丫脑袋被门夹过吧?!
职业规划与人生目标有着莫大的关联。
某种意义上职业规划决定着这辈子追求的东西能不能实现,人生目标则又影响着职业规划的方向与(我靠,我可不可以不要这么说教- -#)。
没有职业规划,人生目标总该有吧,来看看宋叔叔的——确实很明了、很简单:有车有房,有儿有女,有事有业,田园生活。
目前的状况是:有车有房,有儿有女算是达标了;有事有业,算是古惑仔中阿南甚至山鸡的地位,对于一个40+岁的胖男人来说顶多是个差强人意;与世无争就更别提了,吃这口饭如果做到这步就全废了。
所以从他世外桃源般的“终极追求”来看,他要么是浪费了半辈子的青春,要么就是制订的人生目标太离谱。
老婆整天像怨妇一样把他撵下床,女儿恨不得有人帮自己砍死他,大佬的弟弟视他为眼中钉肉中刺,自己每天梦到让人从背后捅,岁月不饶人,原本想再捞“最后一笔”为自己正名的宋叔叔幡然醒悟,也许现在能够适时地退出,才能让自己后半辈子养儿育女快活自在,正所谓“职业易改,目标难移”。
男人就怕入错行!
想这样干干净净全身而退,宋叔叔你有没有搞错。
(真怀疑那些个金盆洗手的能有几个真的把自己洗干净了的)看,认栽了吧……============================抹去若干剧情============================反正经过这么一折腾,宋叔叔总算吃上白豆腐——“干干净净”重新做人,只是这次的“干干净净”与先前的意义不同,意义至多算是PB了而已。
于是暴力签约,红绿灯口的昏睡,对小弟的大打大骂,对医生骂你个B养的,一个人捧着泡面吸溜吸溜等等统统回归……唯一的变化是现在人均居住面积达到了空前的高度。
亲人从加拿大寄回了录像,蹲在地上吸溜吸溜的宋叔叔笑了,哭了,摔了,骂了,这一刻他终于明白,这操蛋的日子,一切又回到了原点……
电影最后几分钟是我看到过的最伟大的演出。
自私的母女
又见大叔
宋康昊大叔最后那段独角戏相当的赞,个人秀!★★★★
黑帮大叔的中年危机。单纯的因为演员而看电影这样的事儿越来越少了,宋康昊是品质的保障啊...
大饼脸的苦逼生活。
大叔的辛酸
干瘪
憋屈黑社会的优雅小世界
不管哪朝哪代,男人间的争斗总是愚蠢且祸及周边。所谓中年危机完全是loser身份认同的焦虑,然后步入自我牺牲式的感动里。男的,不行。
多么微妙的处境。这不是一出悲剧,正如人生并不是一出悲剧,但人世的辛酸苦楚尽在其中。
谁能告诉我 为什么叫优雅的世界?
一旦你踏入了这里,这里就成了你的坟墓!
这就是满分电影
不要进黑社会的教育片 就算你是陈浩南 有天你也会老
摔破的碗,最后还是要自己去收拾干净。诙谐的配乐,却是现实生活的反讽与无奈。
节奏太慢,结尾太理想化,杀大哥不会那么轻易结束的
show还得继续,大饼脸大叔也演黑社会啊。
杀了自己的老大还能到敌对帮派混事儿,反正这种段子在日本黑帮片里没有,只能说韩国黑帮没点儿礼义廉耻
这样的人生优雅么?为了家人,迷失了自己,豪华的别墅内一个人在吃泡面!值得么?
