BBC推荐：9月必看的9部电影

2.《坚强》（Stronger）

上映时间：9月22日（美国）

Director David Gordon Green has been one of the US film industry's great chameleons, shifting from austere, emotionally shattering indies like George Washington and Snow Angels to 'bro-comedies', such as Pineapple Express and The Sitter, to misguided attempts at starry awards-bait dramas like Our Brand Is Crisis. His latest falls into the last category, but feels much more promising than that dead-on-arrival Sandra Bullock vehicle from 2015 about the world of political consulting. Stronger stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Jeff Baumann, a real-life survivor of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing who lost both of his legs and then struggled with his very public role as the face of the victims of the tragedy – he was honored at sports events, appeared on TV, and was lauded as a hero even as he struggled to deal with his own emotional trauma and bristled at the idea that anything he had done was particularly exceptional. The film is based on Bauman's own memoir about his ordeal.
大卫•戈登•格林是美国电影行业一位伟大而风格多变的导演，从画面质朴却带来巨大情感冲击的独立电影《乔治华盛顿》、《雪天使》，到“喜剧兄弟片”《菠萝快车》、《保姆奇遇记》，再到众星云集的冲奖作品《危机大逆袭》等失败尝试，他的电影变化多端。他的最新作品《坚强》可以归为第三类，但相比于见光死的《危机大逆袭》，前者更被看好。（2015年上映的《危机大逆袭》是格林为桑德拉•布洛克量身打造的政治咨询题材电影。）片中主角杰夫•鲍曼（杰克•吉伦哈尔饰）是2013年波士顿马拉松爆炸事件的真实幸存者。他在爆炸中失去双腿，作为这起悲剧的受害者，公众的关注让他备受煎熬——体育活动向他致敬、电视节目报道他，人们奉他为英雄。而此时，鲍曼正与情绪创伤做斗争，并且对自己的一切都被过度美化而感到恼怒。这部电影改编自鲍曼本人叙述自己内心挣扎的回忆录。
