[movie] The Jacket‧顫慄時空

The Jacket

The film centers on a military veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. When he is accused of murder and lands in an asylum, a well-meaning doctor puts him on a heavy course of experimental drugs, restrains him in a jacket-like device, and locks him away in a body drawer of the basement morgue. The process sends him on a journey into the future, where he can foresee his death (but not who did it or how) in four day's time. Now the only question that matters is: can the woman he meets in the future save him?

顫慄時空，標準的台式譯名，沒什麼過分驚悚或驚人創意，存在一堆無法解釋的劇情為什麼，流於基本商業好萊塢俗套。但是片尾的一封信卻深具意義，那份淡淡的感動讓我不至於將此片歸類為「連盜版都不值得抓」的廢片。

最恐怖的無奈，是明確得知生命的盡頭，卻仍充滿許多遺憾未能完成。

臉很長的男主角在最後期限，選擇救贖自己喜歡的人。他要告訴女主角媽媽的話，其實也是告訴觀眾的話。他在信中表達自己古怪的遭遇、命運的無奈，我們可以不相信、可以不同情，但幸運的是，只要還活著，我們還有權利改變、甚至創造人生。


八卦來一下：
★看完後我才知道，Adrien Brody是金獎影帝
(怎麼他演那麼多部名片我都沒印象這個長臉人呢？)
★而Keira Knightley露點演出…
(他露點時我剛好在碎碎唸：好笑耶~真是莫名其妙的感情戲跟硬要軋一角的床戲…)
★大陸好像翻作【靈幻夾克】！
(天吶…怎麼好笑成這樣！)
★電影最大的謎團大概就是，關那件jacket屁事！？
