4. 'Fences'
《藩籬》

What a triumph for Denzel Washington, who directs and stars in the film version of the stage success by the late, great August Wilson. Washington is monumental as a former Negro League baseball player now collecting garbage in Pittsburgh and roaring against anything that challenges his authority as husband and father. Viola Davis is Oscar material as his wife. The film betrays its origins as a play. But what a play. And you won't see performance fireworks like this anywhere.
該片改編自?shī)W古斯特?威爾遜的舞臺(tái)劇，由丹澤爾?華盛頓執(zhí)導(dǎo)并親自擔(dān)綱男主角，取得了巨大的成功。華盛頓扮演的前黑人聯(lián)盟棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)員淪落成為匹茲堡的清潔工，他不容自己作為丈夫和父親的權(quán)威受到任何挑戰(zhàn)。飾演華盛頓妻子的則是曾提名奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)的維奧拉?戴維斯。這部電影沒(méi)有忠于原著，卻超越了原著。你無(wú)法在其他表演中看到這樣的火花。

網(wǎng)友評(píng)價(jià)：

茶葉蛋少女：我太喜歡這個(gè)本子了……歷史和未來(lái)的價(jià)值觀的搏斗。

舌在足矣：舞臺(tái)劇改編電影容易陷入的一個(gè)問(wèn)題就是無(wú)法產(chǎn)生電影感，而這部影片也沒(méi)有解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。影片尤其是前半部分，舞臺(tái)劇感實(shí)在太強(qiáng)了。作為導(dǎo)演的丹澤爾?華盛頓沒(méi)有太多亮點(diǎn)，全片幾乎全靠劇本托起。
