聊八卦玩英语,尽在《娱乐没有圈》!我是大家的老朋友Cecilia韩雪。
最近,Emma Stone和Ryan Gosling主演的《爱乐之城》还没上映,就已经火遍了全世界。
世界各国的媒体和影评人,都给出了相当高的评价,甚至预测这部唯美至极的歌舞片将是奥斯卡的有力竞争者。The critically-acclaimed musical La La Land has recently made a total hit before it even gets released in cinema.
"They don't make 'em like this anymore" is a frequent lament when it comes to movies, but it couldn't be truer in the case of La La Land, an unabashedly old-fashioned musical directed by Whiplash's Damien Chazelle.这个“俗套”的爱情故事,搭配养眼的男女主角、美轮美奂的歌舞画面,让这部歌舞片拥有了天生招人喜爱的全部基因。
Set in contemporary Los Angeles — with just enough modern-day flourishes to remind you that this is a movie made and set in the 2010s, not the 1950s — La La Land follows a struggling pianist and an aspiring actress who fall in love but find their separate dreams threatening to pull them apart. It's a story as old as Hollywood and jazz, and Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone feel like a pairing for the ages. This movie could be a very competitive contender for the Oscar musical nomination.
Actually, musicals have always been a very important part in the history of movies. Along the evolvement of movie genre, with the booming of sci-fi/action/horror movies, the once glorious musicals seem to have faded away. So to today's audience, a jolly good musical is such a precious thing.
随着近几十年科幻片、动作片、恐怖片等新的电影形式越来越丰富,曾经辉煌的歌舞片时代已经渐行渐远。对现代观众来说,一部好的歌舞电影就变得弥足珍贵。
So today let's talk about those once glorious musicals that have brought us tears and laughters.从《绿野仙踪》、《音乐之声》,到《歌剧魅影》、《悲惨世界》,歌舞剧片已经成了歌舞电影最主流的样子。
Before movies were invented, the showbiz were all about stage performance of singing and dancing. So back to the 1920s, when sound movies were just born, the musical drama movies came into this world.
From the Wizard of OZ, the Sound of Music, the Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, musical drama has become the mainstream type for the singing and dancing movies.青春歌舞片成了当下最受欢迎的题材。《舞出我人生》、《歌舞青春》把青春的火焰燃遍了全世界,《欢乐合唱团》这样唱唱跳跳的剧集,也成了年轻人的最爱。
When it comes to the 21st century, musical drama has reached another peak that we called Teen Drama. Almost all the classic Teen Dramas were from this era, and it becomes quite popular nowadays.
Step Up/High School Musical, these movies caught fire of youth aournd the world, also Glee has become one of the favorites among the youngsters.
从迪士尼开张那一刻起,音乐和歌舞就成了动画片不可分割的一部分。无法想象,一出没有Let it go的《冰雪奇缘》将是多大的遗憾。
Ever since the opening day of Disney, singing and dancing has become an impartible part of animated movies, and only through animated characters, the singing and dancing can be so melodramatic to an extent that no real human movie can achieve. It would be a great pity if Frozen is made without Let it Go.
In our Mofunshows, top on the list of mofunner's favorite dubbing videos are all from these musical drama animations.
之前我们说到的歌舞片,大多是“一言不合就唱歌”的类型;也有一类音乐片,里面的歌曲都是为剧情服务的。通过融入剧情的音乐,让观众产生更强烈的代入感,获得更真挚的感动。
So far we've been talking about musicals that are mostly singing for the singing's sake. There's also another type of musicals like Once/ Begin Again, the songs are in there for the story's sake. It actually gives the audience more sense of immersion, they would feel like they are in the story, and these unaffected feelings are delivered from the movies to the real world.
