《愤怒之声》最让人揪心的地方,是它没有把主角塑造成单纯的受害者。本以为能拿到赎金翻身,却发现同伙愈发疯狂,而媒体和民众的怒火早已把所有人逼进死角。这片子特别实在,没有花里胡哨的炫技,就是踏踏实实讲一个普通人怎么被舆论逼上绝路。凯思琳·赖安演的妻子眼里全是隐忍的疲惫,理查德·加尔森的角色从慌张到绝望的细微表情变化,比任何台词都更有说服力。黑白片,但一点都不闷。导演Cy Endfield拍得特别狠,镜头死死盯着那个失业男人一步步被逼到绝境——没有多余的煽情,就是生活里那种喘不过气的压抑。
Howard Tyler (Frank Lovejoy) is a family man, living in California, who can't seem to get by financially. He meets up with a small-time, but charismatic, hood Jerry Slocum (Lloyd Bridges). Soon, Slocum convinces Tyler to participate in gas station robberies to get by. Later, they kidnap a wealthy man in hopes of getting a huge ransom. Things go wrong when the man is murdered by Slocum then thrown in a lake. Tyler reaches his limit emotionally, and he begins drinking heavily. He meets a lonely woman and confesses the crime while drunk. The woman flees and goes to the police. When the two kidnappers are arrested, a local journalist (Richard Carlson) writes a series of hate-filled articles about the two prisoners which eventually lead to a brutal lynching. The despair of the lower middle-class A family man ashamed of being unemployed allows himself to be convinced by a gangster to take part in a kidnapping. The police arrests them both and the anger of the small town’s population is unforgiving. THE SOUND OF FURY is a dark crime movie that builds up to an apocalyptic storm, but never loses sight of social realities, thus telling a lot about the daily despair of the working-class. A masterpiece, it was Cy Endfield’s last film before he felt compelled to move to Britain.相关搜索:
