Edwin的電影沙龍 今人談導演大衛連,很少會再提起他的喜劇創作。 正因如此,當我們真的有機會細細觀賞,才會如此驚艷、驚粲、驚喜。 大衛連一開始以「諾伊寇華(Noel Coward)傳人的身份揚威藝界影壇, 接連多部寇華劇場名作改編,評價均優,《天倫之樂》以家庭通俗戲劇的本質包裹、 推進大時代的延展,將英國社會自一次大戰結束、二次大戰開始的中間這二十年歲月, 化為整個家庭的喜怒哀樂。《浮生夢》則是以閨閣笑鬧劇的詼諧筆法, 抒寫生死大事;這兩部作品的彩色攝影,至今依舊讓人擊節讚賞。 1954年問世的《女大不中留》也是話劇改編,在大衛連的調理之下, 由查爾斯勞頓(Charles Laughton)領銜的眾家演員交出了極漂亮的成績單, 精緻的黑白攝影,不但拍出彩色的溫度,更拍出時代的質感, 這也是大衛連首次在國際影展掄元, 一舉奪下當屆的柏林影展金熊獎。 #電影 #鑑賞 #國際名導大衛連系列05:詼諧風趣,冷暖人間—《天倫之樂》(This Happy Breed)、《浮生夢》(The Blithe Spirit)、《女大不中留》(Hobson's Choice)三部喜劇片

A Way with Words — language, linguistics, and callers from all over

What's a 'Hobson's Choice'?If you're facing a Hobson's choice, you don't really have much to choose from. The phrase describes a situation in which your options are either to take what's offered, or else take nothing at all. Martha offers some choice words about the origin of this term. Recently a friend emailed to ask about a curious phrase she'd run across. A newspaper columnist argued that when it comes to fixing the economy, the Obama administration faces a Hobson's choice. In other words, the writer said, shoring up U.S. banks may be wildly unpopular, but economic recovery requires doing exactly that. You might guess from the context that a Hobson's choice isn't really a choice at all. You either take what's offered, or get nothing. A great example is the declaration by automaker Henry Ford. In his 1922 autobiography, Ford wrote that his Model T would be available in any color, quote, 'so long as it is black.'The phrase Hobson's choice goes all the way back to 17th-century England. For 50 years, Thomas Hobson ran a stable near Cambridge University. There he rented horses to students. Old Man Hobson was extremely protective of those animals. He rented them out according to a strict rotating system. The most recently ridden horses he kept at the rear of the stable. The more rested ones he kept up front. That meant that when students came to get a horse, Hobson gave them the first one in line -- that is, the most rested. He'd let them rent that horse, or none at all. Hobson and his curmudgeonly take-it-or-leave-it rule apparently made quite an impression on Cambridge students. They included the great poet John Milton, who wrote about Hobson. Meanwhile, his horses left their hoofprints in our language, in a phrase that means 'taking what's available, or else not taking anything.'Well, if you want to talk about language, I hope you'll choose to email us.
