中国日报网 2018-03-01 09:00
SHOULD HAVE WON: "Brokeback Mountain" (2005)
本该获奖:《断背山》(2005年)
Some believe that it was the voter's discomfort with the subject matter in "Brokeback Mountain," which looked at the secret love affair between two cowboys (Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger), that gave the win to "Crash." It's hard to think they would give director Ang Lee the best director Oscar if that were the case. Whatever it was, not getting the best picture win hasn't made this film any less great.
《断背山》描述了两个牛仔(杰克·吉伦哈尔和希斯·莱杰饰演)之间的秘密恋情。有些人认为,《断背山》没有获得奥斯卡奖是因为该片的主题让评委感到不舒服,所以才把最佳影片奖给了《撞车》。如果是这样的话,难以想象这些评委会把最佳导演奖颁给李安。无论是什么情况,没有获得奥斯卡最佳影片奖并不会有损这部电影的伟大。
WINNER: "Crash"
当年赢家:《撞车》
Critics were certainly split on the film. Some have called it the worst movie of the early 2000s.
评论界对这部电影褒贬不一。有人称它为21世纪初期最烂的电影。
SHOULD HAVE WON: "Citizen Kane" (1941)
本该获奖:《公民凯恩》(1941年)
Regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, if not the greatest, and a hit when it opened, Orson Welles' portrait of a newspaper tycoon broke all the rules and proved Welles a genius — and he wasn't even in his 30s yet. The only problem was he based the movie on William Randolph Hearst, who was still alive and didn't like the movie one bit. And Hearst had a lot of Hollywood friends.
《公民凯恩》被视为有史以来最伟大的电影之一,而且一上映就火了。导演奥逊·威尔斯对新闻大亨的刻画打破了所有规则,并证明自己是个天才——而他那时还不到三十岁。唯一的问题是这部电影基于威廉·蓝道夫·赫斯特的真实故事,赫斯特当时仍然在世,他一点也不喜欢这部电影。而且赫斯特在好莱坞有很多朋友。
WINNER: "How Green Was My Valley"
当年赢家:《青山翠谷》
Directed by John Ford, this story of a coal-mining family at the turn of the century seems to have the pedigree for Oscar love. But then you see the other film that was nominated ...
约翰·福特导演的这部讲述世纪之交矿工家庭故事的电影似乎就是为奥斯卡奖而生的。但是如果你看了另外一部被提名的电影你就不这么想了。
SHOULD HAVE WON: "Saving Private Ryan" (1998)
本该获奖:《拯救大兵瑞恩》(1998年)
Steven Spielberg's riveting look at the horrors of World War II is a movie that will go down in history as one of the greatest war movies ever made, but it didn't get Oscar's biggest prize.
史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的这部聚焦二战残酷的电影是有史以来最伟大的战争电影之一,并将永垂青史,然而它却没能摘得奥斯卡最大的奖项。
WINNER: "Shakespeare in Love"
当年赢家:《莎翁情史》
This fictitious tale of how a young William Shakespeare created "Romeo & Juliet" is fun for a Friday-night watch, but to put it in the category of best picture winner now seems absurd.
这部基于虚构故事的电影讲述了年轻的威廉·莎士比亚是如何创作出《罗密欧和朱丽叶》的。这部电影在周末晚上看看是挺有趣的,但是被选为奥斯卡最佳影片在现在看来似乎很荒唐。
