"Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs on hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate—he has little success in this—but with the other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than do the others; after all, dead as he is in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor. This assumes that he does not need both hands, or more hands than he has, in his struggle against despair."--Kafka

也許,該認真的審視劇本了


杜sir 忠實粉絲如我,向來仰慕杜sir 拍槍戰運用空間、角度、燈光、人物位置、場景的配塔,所以向來就算有不少人跟我說過感到杜sir 電影劇本不濟,我也懶理,我覺得杜sir 只是以劇本為框架,而那些帶點超現實的槍戰場面才是主角,不過看畢「復仇」,我這種想法有改變了。

杜sir 迷看「復仇」最過癮也最失望的地方,大抵是跟前作有不少連繫吧,例如跟「鎗火」一樣,黃秋生同樣叫阿鬼;「鎗火」是由任達華吩咐黃秋生去殺兄嫂和勾二嫂的呂頌賢,而「復仇」是由任達華吩咐黃秋生去殺自己老婆和與之有一腿的兄弟;「復仇」和「放·逐」同樣在黑市醫生大開殺戒;「復仇」的棚屋跟「放逐」的幾近一樣;還有又有與「放·逐」一樣出現大肚婆(有些太明顯的也就不想寫了)......要數真的數之不盡,根本就像是這樣的藥方:「鎗火」四錢,「放·逐」五錢,「文雀」一錢,「PTU」三錢。起初時候寫得不錯,例如酒店殺手一幕就很有神采,還有比試拆手鎗,住在廢物堆中的軍火供應家,開鎗踩單車等,起初雖然「復仇」也有不少舊作的影子,但總是感到有些新意,而那些舊作影子也似是微妙的連結多一點,但後來劇本越寫越薄弱,例如阿鬼一行人竟然以極快速度找到張兆輝這群殺手,到了燒烤場一幕我已感到想起身走人,那有情節寫得那麼敷衍了事的?槍戰場面又不好看,又再一次在樹林中燒鎗了,根本就是「鎗火」和「放·逐」都拍過了吧?還有在黑市醫生開槍,和在旺角唐樓的槍戰,根本就似曾相識,其實拍過差不多的場景問題不大,但既缺乏新意,也不能超越舊作,那拍來有什麼意思?既然槍戰不好看,就會留意劇情了吧?但劇本寫得太單薄,例如滾紙堆槍戰就根本是一場沒意思的槍戰,黃秋生犯不著以身犯險吧?,怎能叫我投入其中?

杜sir ,請好好考慮劇本的重要性,又或者,請改改不要拍槍戰,可能有新意象。
