奇异恐惧

讲恐惧的故事，十分之贴合电影题目。
用个很荒诞既喜剧故事来讲1个很深刻的东西——荣格和佛洛依德的融合咁上下，恐惧的来源和表现咯。个故事真系超级荒诞，系个种会令人很无语的希腊式喜剧...
一个写开童话故事既作家转型写连环杀人故事，结果太进入状态，比自己创造出来的作品吓到癫癫地生活不正常，然后稳左个很不靠谱既治疗师，佢决定面对佢既恐惧就走去洗衣店（呢个洗衣店系佢恐惧既投射物），咁好彩遇到了1个睇佢既小说既忠实变态fans，呢个fans梦想成为连环杀手，于是咁桥顺手绑架左呢个作家同个路人甲，一轮争斗或者恐吓之后，结果两个人最后发现自己都系被抛弃既小孩子（路人甲一直很尽职地扮演路人甲，并且时不时推动剧情发展）。因为佛洛依德有个理论话孩子的母亲等于佢既生命嘛，母亲离开了孩子孩子就没了时间的观念，所以被抛弃了的孩子往后只能是体验死亡。所以就恐惧，恐惧然后愤怒， 然后想做杀手咁咯...然后个作家现场作左个童话故事感化左个未遂既杀手放左佢同一个无辜被捉既路人甲。

anyway开头营造个种英式仲要系旧时既恐怖片既氛围都几加分既。把恐惧拍得如此具有喜感...

Once upon a time
Not so long ago
There was a hedgehog
Whose name, was Brian
Brian lived in a cave deep in the forest
A dark and terrible place called weird wild wood
After dark, the forest would echo with howls and screams
And sometimes it seemed to Brian as if even the moon conspired against him
But the more afraid Brian became, the angrier he got
Until one night, frightened out of his wits
He turned himself into a terrifying monster
He put on weight, painted his face, and started insisted on being addressed as Balthazar the Berserker
But then a strange thing happed
Brian received an unexpected visitor
“Come any closer I’ll scratch your eyes out.” He snarled angrily at the flickering eyes in the trees
“Brian?” Whispered a voice, “Is that really you?”
“Who the fuck are you calling Brian?” Said Brian, as menacingly as he could manage
“Why, Brian, it is you.”
It was Harold, his brother, last seen by the road, walking with mother a long time ago. He said, “I’m so happy I found you, Brian, old chap. I’ve been terribly lonely and fancied a chat.”
But Brian had crossed that road and never looked back.
He’d erased the memory and his soul was now black.
“Harold, mate. I hate to be blunt. But look into the mirror, you prickly idiot. You are a worthless, pathetic, sniveling fool. I’d rather spend time with worms in my stool.”
With that he chased him into the trees and over the dells, screaming, “I’ll eat you for supper or meet you in hell.”
But fate intervened and Brian got lost.
And to make matters worse, there was a treacherous fog.
“Hello.” he cried. “Is anyone there?”
But no one replied, and Brian got scared.
And that’s when he saw he wasn’t alone.
A small, crumpled body was lying in the road.
( A truck suddenly came in the road, Harold jumped out and saved Brian. )
“Why didn’t you leave me?” said Brian. “And just let me die.”
“You are my brother,” said Harold. “How on earth could I?”
And that’s when they heard the pitiful cries, of a very small hedgehog whose mother just died.
And suddenly Brian just started to blub
He picked up the babe and gave it a hug, “This little thing, you know, reminds me of us. Left all alone when Mum caught that bus.”
“The spell has been broken,” said Harold. “It’s time to break free. You are not really a monster. You are a hedgehog, like me.”



It’s symbolic. You see, they discovered their true selves. They started again where they left off before the trauma of losing their mum.
I tell you, that was my life, right there in that cave. I’m not a monster, am I?
No, you just need some help.
You are like me, we are just like the brothers.



So Harold and his long-lost brother Brian, lived happily afterwards in the old hedgerow beside the churchyard.
And remember, no matter how dark and scary those woods may seem, there’s always a way across the road for a hedgehog brave enough to cross it.

Thank you.

這是典型噠英倫小眾電影...
神經兮兮加上風格多變...
最讓我意外噠是Simon...
經常出現在喜劇電影噠他這次獨挑大樑。
大量大量噠內心獨白都祗能通過表情和眼神來體現。
就沖著一點都有暸給這部電影五顆星噠理由。
故事整體沒甚麼特別。
但這種結合驚悚搞笑童話布偶為一體噠影片到眞是獨一份兒。
五分兒推薦。

亨顿食人魔用灭蝇纸熬成了砒霜，倒进了他房客的肉汤里。
被糊住的双眼，在嘴中转动的眼球。
因为手握刀子时涂抹万能胶未留意，手跟刀子粘合在了一起。
刺猬故事的动画。

开头挺牛逼，等到了洗衣店后就开始“治愈向”了，让我很恶心。

黑色幽默吸引我的地方在于神经似乎总是千钧一发，时刻等待挑战，受过惊吓过后摇着头笑笑——可不是么？！我本期待这是部很闷的片子，最好Simon Pegg 自己嘟嘟囔囔满脑子fantacy到死，还能像面镜子给自己些触动，可惜最后还是回到了现实。我期待的神经像氢气球忽然被小朋友放飞，最后还是破灭了。

我是愚蠢的。想从一部电影寻找力量或答案，实在过于简单。回顾情节，似乎就是一个儿童作家如何走出自身阴霾并成功逃离一场同命相连（童年被抛弃阴影）的siciopath的绑架过程，中间穿插了接二连三只有英国人才想的出来的弱智笑点。似乎在说，每个人内心最大的创伤可能扩大可能缩小但注定要跟着人一辈子，只是有的人学会了面对，有的人选择屈服因此万劫不复。但关键是去寻找那个指引你作出选择的力量。在没找到前，每次都只是阵痛。

我喜欢这种碎碎念的黑色幽默小电影，配乐让我想起《发条橙》，异样的恰到好处。但我相信很多人一开是就觉得这又是个烂片儿，尤其是结尾。就像我当初看到Paul的预告片就觉得是bullshit。但同样是Simon Pegg, 此情此景，我却似乎很有共鸣。What is the demon inside of me? Where is it? How can I face it? I don't even have a knife though I have a pair of the most pleasing parents. 还只是阵痛。

制作精良的英国小品喜剧，小构架装填多样精彩，完全对口味。本片继承了该类型一贯的精致制作、幽默讽刺和极客风情，又能独创性地从成人的角度将儿童文学和精神分析学融合起来，在主题上，立意高出《野兽家园》；在类型上，内涵又高出很多同类影片。而且，本片在结构处理上不墨守成规，有机混搭：独角、心理、奇幻……类型糅合得心应手；漫画、剪纸、布偶……CULT手法信手拈来，让人乐在其中。再者，本片最令人印象深刻之处，在其情节构想之完满又妙点如连珠；过渡接洽之流畅又让人沉醉其中；高潮笑点之迭起又不失其品味涵养，深得赖特和吉列姆之列之精髓，而且多处镜头处理和调度亮点独具，让人过目不忘，可见绝非粗鄙模仿，而是特色鲜明，辨识度甚高，作为处女作，这可谓是旗开得胜、十分成功的。最后要说的是，片尾遇见Harvey Humphries出版商处略微处理不当，同剧情发展相矛盾，尚可改进，权当本片一点瑕疵罢。
