課前預習重點必讀：
The Other Sundance It Girl of 2011
「麥特波，是本片唯一俱備電影經驗者。(除非你把韋思安德森愛用 Kumar Pallana 算進去，畏懼另一個地球的校園阿伯) 如果本片是一部歐洲電影，而非你現在看到的獨立製片，它會被好萊塢明星翻拍，除了布列特瑪琳：她就是那種不之何許人也，卻又馬上成為大明星的輕科幻女神。即使本片大部份時間都衣著海軍藍工作服與毛帽，瑪琳俱備媲美 Carolyn Bessette Kennedy (小甘迺迪之共亡妻) 魅力，但其美麗伴隨深沉表演。她飾演女主角角色無懈可擊；每個動作皆真實。」—時人雜誌 (連甘迺迪家族都搬出來了!!!)
"But it's strong as it is, and Marling emerges as a gifted new talent. The movie is as thought-provoking, in a less profound way, than Tarkovsky's "Solaris," another film about a sort of parallel Earth." -- Rogert Ebert
長期接受眾家媒體對於「有別於渾然天成的歐森家族英雄 Elizabeth Olsen 小妹妹，Brit Marling 才是正宗二零一一年日舞影展小公主，簡而言之，It Girl。」這件事情的洗腦，以及意識到 Brit Marling 即將遵循「前」日舞影展小公主 Zooey Deschanel 軌跡於主流市場發光發熱，然後消磨殆盡，殞落如白駒過隙 (sorry, I'm a indie snob)，因此筆者決定到住家附近漫畫出租店支持正版 (同時反 SOPA)，將得利影視出品之【另一個地球】(Another Earth, 2011) 帶回家，所以你可以想像這又是一篇沒有實質內容又愛引經據典的花痴文章。
劇情大綱：Brit Marling 十七歲就申請上麻省理工學院成為鋼鐵人學妹，覺得這世界上什麼事情都有可能，此時人類發現另外一個地球，姑且稱之為 Earth Two，派對結束她一邊開車一邊抬頭望向星空，直接導致對面一家三口車破人亡之悲劇誕生。雖然 Brit Marling 很聰明，但服刑出獄後想走勞力者治於人路線，所以選擇到高中當個清潔工，其實想假借免費清潔服務 (trial cleaning) 這個名目拜訪車禍大難不死的音樂家 John，兩人第一次連結建立無效。Brit Marling 認為自己開車不專心都把人家搞成整天關在家裡的阿宅了，還意圖登門拜訪試圖彌補過去所犯下的滔天大罪，欲學會 forgive 卻無法 forget，於是她把衣服脫掉躺在雪地裡反省，悲從中來久久無法自己，反正仙女下凡也不用擔心受寒。
日復一日，Brit Marling 藉由梳理受害者 物質與記憶 獲得救贖的偉大計畫仍舊無法發揮，有一天 John 問 Brit Marling 要不要打電動，是的，仙女費盡心思嘗試打開老男孩 John 心房皆無果，沒想到最簡單的樂趣例如打電動，就輕輕鬆鬆建立兩人連結，正可謂得來全不費功夫。兩人第一相遇是為了從零開始，兩人第一次遠離是因為過於靠近，奮不顧身往平行世界反向奔走，還是無法抵擋愛情磁場包覆的地心引力與公轉自轉，這回，女人說出不敢說的話，該靠近還是遠離交給男人選擇。(其實已經把結局指涉得相當曖昧哩哈)
花痴時間：筆者相信電影的魔力。如果一部電影的內容可以其他形式或媒介表達，並且給予觀眾相同的感受，這就不是一部好電影，不是一部非得藉由電影這門藝術別出機杼的好電影。而本片就是一部好電影，因為從片頭 Brit Marling 對木星快轉鏡頭訴說尤里西斯的凝視開始，我們就開始幻想這位女孩長什麼模樣，她若有所思，一個眼神即道盡世間百態，又同時保有蘇菲亞柯波拉式獨守空閨早熟少女的神情，筆者只能引用 成長偶像 對薇諾娜瑞德於【希德姊妹幫】(Heathers, 1989) 之評論，「你可以把任何一個詞語放在這張臉上」。Brit Marling 繼承了自茱莉蝶兒開創後 (美國類比為 Hope Davis) 許久未見之 cool smart chick 血統，就連茱莉亞畢諾許 (台灣版本為楊貴媚) 早期清新脫俗形象都無法涵蓋，說出靈性 (ethereal) 這個單字都是褻瀆。本片在故事結構很自然地與【當真愛來敲門】(Bounce, 2000) 被討論，而不論大至人類在宇宙定位辯證如我們將難逃孤獨與死亡 (we are alone, and we're all gonna die)，小至男女情愛傷逝多愁，以及中心思想 redo the past & undo the past 的永恆糾結，【另一個地球】更貼近塔可夫斯基【飛向太空】(Solaris, 1972)，廢話，比那部 低成本科幻電影 更貼近。好，筆者承認本片藝術成就與影史經典地位皆無法相提並論，但這就是一部典型的日舞影展獨立製片，值得我們細細品嚐，回味再三的小茵地 (indie)。
Remember her name, Brit Marling，她的名字叫布列特‧瑪琳 ♥♥♥
"I don't want to eat the apple of cynicism."
本片最可愛對白!!!
Brit Marling 因為人美又聰明，有許多凡夫俗子無法理解的困擾，所以要常常一個人關在房間思考人生大道裡。
氣勢磅礡的宇宙奇觀。
When early explorers first set out west across the Atlantic, most people thought the world was flat.
Most people thought if you sailed far enough west, you would drop off a plane into nothing.
These vessels sailing out into the unknown... they weren't carrying noblemen or aristocrats, artists, merchants.
They were crewed by people living on the edge of life... the madmen, orphans, like myself.
As a felon, I'm an unlikely candidate for most things. But perhaps not for this. Perhaps I am the most likely.
Brit Marling 參加飛向 Earth 2 徵文比賽的自我揭露 (self disclosure) 令人動容。
Ari Gold ... Conspiracy Theorist
Natalie Carter ... Career Counselor
I was thinking I would like to do something with my hands. You know, maybe... maybe outdoors, maybe not.
Come on. I mean, you could do something with your hands, but you have such a great mind.
I don't wanna really be around too many people or do too much talking.
All right.
更生人輔導老師辯不過想走苦幹實幹路線，又有人群恐懼症的 Brit Marling，只好把校園清潔工職缺引薦給他。
哇～另一個地球的我該不會也正用遠鏡看著我吧！
如果預告有抓住筆者什麼，就是這部科幻電影裡的小小科技，難以言喻之打電動場景。
Kumar Pallana ... Purdeep
清潔工阿伯對 Brit Marling 講授這晦澀宇宙的人生大道裡，令人想起 Anna Karina 在【賴活】(Vivre sa vie, 1962) 與哲學教授之深刻對談，不然【女侍情緣】(Waitress, 2007) 劇中 Keri Russell 虛心求教於糕餅店阿伯也可以。
被仙女擦拭過的置物櫃都美得像幅畫似的。
這麼正的清潔工，影史上大概只有馬丁辛在【窮山惡水】(Badlands,1973) 的 狄恩造型 資源回收小隊長才可媲美，反正只要是 Brit Marling 出現的場景都會很夢幻。
Brit Marling 向 John 描繪史上第一位蘇聯籍太空人 (cosmonaut)，如何將儀表板原本殺人於無形的滴答聲，轉化為內心的音樂 sound of music，防止幽閉恐懼症爆發。這是一幕不需要字幕，自然闔上眼簾體會的美景，仙女口白帶領我們領略浩瀚宇宙四季的變換。演技二字。妳是我的眼。
這是一部輕科幻電影，所以男女主角開始神遊太空。
Robin Taylor ... Jeff Williams (as Robin Lord Taylor)
Come on, Rho-tard. Aren't you gonna ask what happened?
What happened?
I got into UConn.
如果姊姊是高材生又長得宇宙超級漂亮，弟弟不是抑鬱難解小男孩，就是會成為像傑夫這樣一位嘴賤到不行的壞痞子。
The power of L.E.G.G.Y.
Brit Marling 走到生命的盡頭玩起 Earth Two 熱門周邊商品。
就是有這種不切實際的劇情，才會讓文藝宅如筆者每天幻想有科幻 eye candy 自動上門。
美得像洋娃娃似的 Brit Marling。

回覆刪除in the cast (unless you count 92-year-old Wes Anderson favorite Kumar Pallana, as a
janitor who fears the new planet).
If this were a European movie instead of an indie that just felt like one, it would be
remade with Hollywood stars, except for Marling: this is one of those moments when
someone comes out of nowhere and seems instantly a movie star.
Though clad in shapeless navy coveralls and a wool hat for much of the film, she has the
allure of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. But her beauty is incidental to her grave and
controlled performance. She’s impeccably in tune with Rhoda; every action feels true."

Brit Marling 憂鬱又清新的氣質，安靜，但一說話就令人懾服。
Which is to say that Cahill is well aware of his film’s true strength. Handheld, grainy,

The film’s visual design is centered on the luminosity of her face, which truly lights
up every frame it dominates, even as her performance rarely strays from a baseline pose—
wide-eyed, lips slightly parted like a teenage high-fashion model’s, straddling the
tenuous line between an enigma and a void.

As screenwriter, Marling gives herself one climactic speech, but rather than risk asking his star to pull off a sustained performance, Cahill, in what scans as a lack of confidence in both his actress and his audience, juliennes it into a montage.
身為編劇，瑪琳給自己一個高潮演說，但葛希爾並未要求男主角來個對手戲，而是洗手做羹湯切碎成一個鏡頭，顯示對女主角與觀眾缺乏信心。
As Another Earth’s relationship between the gullible sad sack and the flaxen-haired fraud overtakes its interplanetary premise as the driving force of the film, it becomes clear that Marling’s primary—if potentially unconscious—subject is the politics and mechanics of beauty as a tool of manipulation.
隨著【另一個地球】作為驅動力的科幻假設被易受騙悲傷行囊與金髮美少女情感取代，瑪琳首要—很可能無意識地—目標是美女作為操控工具的政治意圖與機制。
You could well argue that Marling has written what she knows, but she’s also created for herself a character whose undeniable physical appeal overwhelms all other aspects of her personality, in a film so drunk on that appeal that even a suicide attempt is sexualized.
你不妨說瑪琳寫了她所認識的，但她也為自己創造了一個角色，無法辯駁之肉慾淹沒其他人格面向，在這部連自殺傾向都可以性感的自溺電影。
