刀马旦 Knife Horse Dawn详细剧情及相关评论

这是20世纪80年代最有影响力的香港电影之一，加速了具有令人惊讶的创造力的香港电影的形成。导演徐克使这部影片不仅具有绚丽的色彩和连续的动作，也同样具有一个十分吸引观众的情感中心。当它企图引导观众追随那狂热和醉人的足迹有时会让人感到它的无力。在那传统的影象下面是一个强有力的故事，探究着国家，家庭，友谊和牺牲。

　　故事发生在满人不再统治中国的1913年。新兴的民主政府太过软弱而无法有效的治理国家，若干军阀控制着中国大部分地区。观众彻底陷入片中的混乱，在当时还没有一个政党被挑选出来。故事的中心集中在三个女人身上（一段早期英勇的三重唱）——林青霞饰演一个军阀的女儿，（第二世界 世界电影 www.o f f id.com.cn）但她忠诚于共和；钟楚红饰演一个出色而迷人的歌女叶倩文饰演一个京剧戏班主的女儿。一连串的事件使这三个女人走到了一起而最终又显示出彼此的和谐融洽。

　　影片以一个冷笑着的刀马旦表演开始，从头自尾，它就是一部充满了吸引的故事情节和有序的精彩动作的杰作——紧张的追捕与逃脱，三位女星的出色表演和一个传奇的故事。本片结尾的20分钟，就是那些坏家伙搜捕剧院的情节尤为精彩，让人十分惊讶和喜欢。我猜想人们可能忘记了影片的主题，而那是一种古老的舞台艺术（我知道它已经很久了），但是请相信我无论出于何种原因，这部电影都不可错过。它是我们这个时代最伟大的电影之一。

影片评价：
刀马旦]被称为“徐克艺术与娱乐相结合较为出色的一部作品”,徐克自己也说[刀马旦]是他八十年代的代表作,三个不同阶级女子的离奇经历,拍得相当热闹,一个为钱(钟楚红)、一个为理想（叶倩文）、一个为国家（林青霞），一宗政治阴谋，三名乱世女儿，林青霞又一次女扮男装，英俊之极。

电影得分：10

This was one of the most influential films that helped shape the incredible burst of creativity that occurred in HK films during the 1980s. It is directed by Tsui Hark in a swirl of colors and non stop motion, but it also has an emotional center that draws you in like a vortex and never lets you go. At times it feels almost weightless as it pulls the viewer along for a frenetic and fascinating ride. Underneath all the fabulous images though lies a powerful story that explores the themes of nationalism, family, friendship and sacrifice.

The story takes place back in 1913 when the Manchus no longer rule China. The new democratic government is too weak to rule effectively and multiple warlords occupy large parts of the country . The viewer is dropped right into the middle of this chaos and it is a while before all the different parties can be sorted out. The story centers around three women (an earlier Heroic Trio!) - Brigitte Lin as a daughter of one of the warlords - but her loyalty is to the Republic, Cherie Chung in a wonderfully comic, charming role as a musician caught in the middle of it all and Sally Yeh as the daughter of a man who runs a Peking Opera troupe. Events conspire to bring all three women together and what a show it becomes.

From the opening moment of the cynically laughing Peking Opera performer to the last frame, this is a work of brilliant storytelling and editing. Incredible action sequences, exciting chases and escapes, great performances from all three females and a story that just works magic. The final 20 minutes from when the bad guys surround the theater is astonishing and exhilarating. I think people might be put off by the title of this film and think it is some old fashioned costume drama (I know I was for a long time), but believe me this film is not to be missed for any reason whatsoever. It is one of the great films of our times.

My rating for this film: 10.0
