读后感《Maleficent》剧本

不记得什么时候下载了一份《Maleficent》的剧本,和最终在戏院上映的版本很不一样。
(这里:Maleficent非最终版剧本

 很多不一样、却富有意义的设定,总觉得这样叙说《Maleficent》这个故事,其实也相当有韵味:

1. Moors有着女王和王夫,这个女王被Stefan称为“Tyrant”——确实是个傲慢无礼的独裁者,即使她是被女王之石承认的统治者。虽然她很快就领便当了,但真的是个让人喜欢不起来的角色啊。

2. Stefan在Moors长大,他的母亲是人类,父亲则是王夫……混血儿的拖油瓶,童年总不是那么美好的,不是吗?但也因为他与Maleficent的身世雷同,所以他们之间两小无猜的情谊更深厚,到后来决裂时的无情因此更伤人。

3. 关于Maleficent的身世,让我也觉得相当惊喜,母亲是精灵,父亲却是邪恶的种族——Red Cap,在剧本中Male拔拔的形象是这样的:

She hears guttural breathing and the scratching of claws. Something large approaches. The mist stirs. Maleficent waits. In a moment, a MAN walks out of the mist. He holds a heavy staff. He’s even taller than Maleficent and fiercely handsome with dark malevolent eyes. He wears a worn RED CAP that color of blood. Maleficent looks very much like him.

因为是相当新奇的物种(哈哈,物种),我还特地google了关于红帽子的资料。
The Red Cap
是杀戮路人并以鲜血染红帽子的矮人,通常居住在废弃的城堡里,若是帽子上的鲜血完全干涸就会死亡。
并不是个很讨喜的种族,但至今为止似乎都没看过有人cos过帅气的红帽子啊,剧本里这个角色被删掉了真的让人觉得扼腕啊(叹气)

4. 关于Maleficent头上那两只角,原来是女王惩罚Maleficent戴上以惩戒她的桀骜不驯,用这种接近羞辱的方式去对待一个孩子,只因为自己看不顺眼她的拔拔,真的感觉这个女王很遭恨啊——

5. 这个部分是我在整个剧本里读到最瞎的部分。话说Aurora的诅咒是Maleficent下的没错,但是……

DIAVAL
The Pixies changed your curse.

MALEFICENT
My curse was undone years ago.

DIAVAL
They replaced it with their own.

MALEFICENT
The Pixies? They’re not smart enough.


我整个人“啊……?”掉。这已经不是“not smart”的范围了吧,超完全展现猪一样的队友的精神啊……(扶墙)

6. 乌鸦Diaval是整个故事里我觉得最有爱的角色了,如果没有他的话,大约后来的Maleficent会因为太寂寞而自我厌弃吧。

DIAVAL
What have you done to my beautiful self?

MALEFICENT
Would you rather I let them beat you to death?

He lifts his wingless arms and looks down at his naked body.

DIAVAL
I’m not certain.

MALEFICENT
Stop complaining. I saved your life.

DIAVAL
Forgive me. I am in your debt.

 这已经不是可爱可以形容了啊XDDD
还有另一段让我很感动的,就是差不多到结尾时,Aurora当上Moors女王时,Maleficent和Diaval的互动。

As dawn breaks, the FAIRY QUEEN AURORA floats down from above, her wings fluttering softly.

She lands on the Stone. The Stone ROARS like a lion. The Faeries cheer. Musicians play and the Faeries dance. Aurora sees Prince Phillip standing in the back of the crowd. She smiles. Maleficent stands with Diaval, the Man. Her hand finds his as they both struggle with their emotions.

生命中不离不弃的伙伴,可能比恋人还要更靠谱呢(我多希望他们能够在一起啊)。到最后他们也确实并肩翱翔去了啊XD

They lift their wings and take flight together.

But before they get too far, Maleficent swings around and comes back toward the tree.

She swoops low, grabs the Horned Crown and flies off again. As Maleficent and the raven soar together, wing-to-wing, above the beautiful moors fade out.
