[影片]Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

我对“Road Trip and Dude”的故事比较有兴趣,曾经想过打法常夏在被陈语抛弃(小K一手操办)后,到路上去走一圈碰一些人。无奈我单纯的心灵想不出什么特别有价值的故事。 :mrgreen:

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle 就是这样一个俗套故事,非常搞笑,没有任何企图有深度的企图。但是绝不是一个恶俗的傻瓜搞笑片。电影把亚裔和印度裔的典型形象,以及在美国社会的典型位置,做了非常轻喜剧的调侃。Harold 是一个起标准英文名字在投资银行做初级分析师的安静而整洁的亚裔,同事有做不完的工作就推到他头上。同屋 Kumar 是个 MCAT 分数非常高但是却喜欢玩乐不愿意去上医学院的印度裔。我非常想知道是什么样的人写的这个剧本,因为有些细节因为细小而真实,所以非常搞笑。比如 Harold 循规蹈矩,屋子收拾得整整齐齐,听广播一定要用 preset,高速公路收费口收了钱却还亮红灯,他就想去边上找人解释清白。最绝的是这一夜,主意多是 Kumar 出的,但是 Harold 也都同意了,一旦出了状况,Harold的第一个反应一定是揪住 Kumar 大叫:这全都是你的错。要不是你... ... 这太典型了! :f16: 我就经常这样在事后抓某人小辫子。Kumar 姓Patel。这需要背景知识才能笑出来:啧啧啧啧,这是一个贵族姓氏。在印度越短的姓氏才会是贵族,像那种念不出来的长姓,通常是阶层比较低的姓氏。而且演 Kumar 的演员肤色很浅,屏幕太小我没注意他眼睛什么颜色的。印度因为有很多贵族出来留学,本身的背景加上各种有利因素所以在美国做到比较高的位子。比如在电信这个垄断行业里非常罕见的成功的startup里有一对住达拉斯的创建人,就是一对姓 Patel 的姻亲兄弟。这个 Kumar Patel 分数高,他的父亲和哥哥全是医生,一心想让他成为医生。关系全给他托好,无奈他一定要在面试的时候丢人现眼,继续玩乐。我对印度人了解不多,一定还有很多我看不到的笑话在里面。有一个地方看上去不大对头,就是 Kumar 这个贵族在加油站跟店主讲 Hindi 语。我隐约的知识是贵族应该不讲 hindi 语,不知道对不对,但 Kumar 马上补漏了一句说:学习 Hindi 语总算有用处。

据说续集明年就出来了,我还比较期待。

据称是因为第一集的DVD收入几乎双倍于票房收入,才使得调侃家园安全保护法的第二集得以上市。

I really like that movie! Someone, I think it might be Ebert, said this movie is in its own way about the immigrant experience in America. And it's hilarious. The part about Harold going to parties was so recognizable from what I've seen in college.

Just saw the trailer of the sequel. They got to the airport and were detained for Homeland Security reasons -- "a Middle Eastern and a North Korean"! :heartpump:

I like the movie too. The way Harold parked his car, once, twice, 3 times, it just had to be perfect... :-D

我前两天把这个片子看了,要还的时候突然想起这里好像还讨论过。那个Kumar吃罚单的高速口,我也吃过25块钱的罚单(我是有easy-pass),某人断定那个口子一定有问题。

关于在新泽西迷路――hmmm,太有感触了。 :-)

演Kumar的老兄前阵子出了个严肃片子The Name Sake。我本来想去看看的,但是每次看广告片里他跟美女接吻的时候都忍不住想起Kumar,直想笑严肃不起来,就没去看。

原来the namesake也是这个Kumar演的阿。我在看预告篇的时候一直想要去看,毕竟这类题材的电影太少了。而且我非常好奇的是,印度人的第一代很多都非常aggressive,虽然很多也很好相处,但第二代lay back的人更多,更愿意享受生活,顺带technical skills弱很多。我一直好奇为啥是真个样子。8过那个电影还是错过了,找一下又没有dvd吧 :-P

再次感谢笑嘻嘻的评论,我都不知道patel是贵族姓的一说。

I am mildly interested in Smart People, but SJP turns me off.
The other two movies I want to see are The Visitor and Baby Mom. I heard fabulous things about The Visitor, and the little bit of music I heard, combination of piano and djembe, sounds really interesting.
