Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood, A Perfect World
凱文科斯特納 和 克林特伊斯特伍德,《完美的世界》
Yeah, we know, we know -- Kevin Costner makes movies with Ashton Kutcher now, and Clint Eastwood directs Matt Damon movies. But trust us: In 1993, a movie starring Costner (who had just made The Bodyguard) and Eastwood (coming off In the Line of Fire) was a very big deal, even if you wouldn't know it from A Perfect World's paltry $31 million gross. Its meditative pace was a bit of a shock for audiences expecting more popcorn fare from its leads, but this drama about a Texas Ranger (Eastwood) pursuing an escaped convict-turned-kidnapper (Costner) gave the Robin Hood star a chance to play against type -- and impressed critics like ReelViews' James Berardinelli, who called it "evidence that Hollywood is still capable of producing the kinds of moving, intelligent movies that have increasingly become the province of independent film makers."
好的,據我們所知,凱文科斯特納正在與艾什頓庫奇合作電影,而克林特伊斯特伍德正在導演馬特達蒙的影片。但相信我們:在1993年,影星科斯特納(他剛剛完成《保鏢》的拍攝)和伊斯特伍德(剛拍完《火線狙擊》)都已赫赫有名,即使你未從《完美的世界》那微薄的31,000,000美元票房知悉。影片深沉的節奏讓期待更多的觀眾們有些出乎意料,但這部講述了一個得克薩斯男人(伊斯特伍德)追逐綁架兒童的越獄犯(科斯特納)故事的影片讓羅賓漢先生有機會出演了反派。這部影片也感動了許多影評人,例"ReelViews"的詹姆斯貝拉迪內利。后者將本片稱為“證明好萊塢仍然能夠生產出這樣動人和智慧的作品,日益成為獨立電影制人的聚集區。”
