年度二十部电影佳作 很可能有一半你没听过

4. 'Fences'
《藩篱》

What a triumph for Denzel Washington, who directs and stars in the film version of the stage success by the late, great August Wilson. Washington is monumental as a former Negro League baseball player now collecting garbage in Pittsburgh and roaring against anything that challenges his authority as husband and father. Viola Davis is Oscar material as his wife. The film betrays its origins as a play. But what a play. And you won't see performance fireworks like this anywhere.
该片改编自奥古斯特•威尔逊的舞台剧，由丹泽尔•华盛顿执导并亲自担纲男主角，取得了巨大的成功。华盛顿扮演的前黑人联盟棒球运动员沦落成为匹兹堡的清洁工，他不容自己作为丈夫和父亲的权威受到任何挑战。饰演华盛顿妻子的则是曾提名奥斯卡奖的维奥拉•戴维斯。这部电影没有忠于原著，却超越了原著。你无法在其他表演中看到这样的火花。

网友评价：

茶叶蛋少女：我太喜欢这个本子了……历史和未来的价值观的搏斗。

舌在足矣：舞台剧改编电影容易陷入的一个问题就是无法产生电影感，而这部影片也没有解决这个问题。影片尤其是前半部分，舞台剧感实在太强了。作为导演的丹泽尔•华盛顿没有太多亮点，全片几乎全靠剧本托起。
