West Side Story, 1961
《西區故事》(1961 年)
Natalie Wood plays an impoverished Puerto Rican on the wrong side of town, but still gets to wear ravishing New Look silhouettes with beautifully matching shoes. This disregard for the tenets of gritty kitchensink drama bothered us for years, but then we remembered that her character Maria worked in a bridal shop – was she helping herself to fabric and dye when the boss wasn’t looking? And is that why she felt so pretty?
娜塔利·伍德飾演的是一名窮困的波多黎各人,住在鎮上的貧民區,但她依然穿著迷人的“新風貌”服裝,以及與之相配的漂亮鞋子。這種無視寫實激進現實主義戲劇的宗旨的服飾讓我們困惑了很多年,不過,我們記得她飾演的人物瑪利亞在一家婚紗店工作——難道她趁老板不注意的時候私用布料和顏料了嗎?那就是她看起來那么漂亮的原因嗎?
