Roger Ebert 與The Greatest Movies

Roger Ebert 與The Greatest Movies

“We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls.”
-Roger Ebert

我竟在公共圖書館新書一欄中找到Roger Ebert: The Greatest Movies一書,興奮莫名。Roger Ebert相信是我除了Strictly Film School網頁那位作者外,我最尊敬的一位影評人,他的影評在量在質相信也當世無雙,而且行文淺白簡潔,一矢中的。

Roger Ebert: The Greatest Movies當中選了的電影,其實已是公認了的殿堂級電影,沒有多大驚喜的,全都是老掉牙的名字。Roger Ebert道出了一個convincing的重新輯錄理由:

“On year I suggested Vertigo and the students begged me to do Fight Club….Fight Club was not a film approved of…I admired its skill even more, and its thought even less. ...The ability of an audience to enter into the narrative arc of a movie is being lost; do todoay’s audiences have the patience to wait for Harry Lime in The Third Man?”

時代步伐越急速,人們越等不了,The Third Man不出現便算吧! 我是依然執迷地喜歡電影,透過電影這扇窗,我期望我能見到更多扇窗。以下是Roger Ebert: The Greatest Movies選錄了的偉大電影,有 **者代表我曾有幸看過,其他的我希望能繼續追尋:
