嘿,我跟你说,1950年那部《愤怒之声》真挺有意思的。弗兰克·洛夫乔伊演出了那种被生活压弯脊背的沉默与绝望,而理查德·加尔森扮演的“帮凶”则带着一种令人不安的伪善——他嘴上说着兄弟情,实际却把主角推向更黑暗的境地。适合关注社会议题、偏爱黑色电影中道德灰色地带的影迷,对早期独立制片如何批判媒体生态感兴趣的观众也能从中找到参照。理查德·加尔森演出了主角从侥幸到恐惧的细微变化,弗兰克·洛夫乔伊的反派则始终带着一种令人后背发凉的“正常”——他微笑时比怒吼时更可怕。影片用冷峻的黑色电影视听语言(倾斜镜头、低角度逆光)勾勒出失业退伍军人的生存焦虑,叙事克制却步步紧逼——没有廉价煽情,只靠一桩绑架案如何被媒体和民众情绪一步步推成私刑闹剧。弗兰克·洛夫乔伊演的那个失业父亲,从想给儿子买辆自行车开始,一步步被贫穷和屈辱逼进犯罪泥潭——不是英雄式的反抗,而是普通人被社会夹缝碾碎时那种绝望的挣扎。
Howard Tyler (Frank Lovejoy) is a family man, living in California, who can't seem to get by financially. He meets up with a small-time, but charismatic, hood Jerry Slocum (Lloyd Bridges). Soon, Slocum convinces Tyler to participate in gas station robberies to get by. Later, they kidnap a wealthy man in hopes of getting a huge ransom. Things go wrong when the man is murdered by Slocum then thrown in a lake. Tyler reaches his limit emotionally, and he begins drinking heavily. He meets a lonely woman and confesses the crime while drunk. The woman flees and goes to the police. When the two kidnappers are arrested, a local journalist (Richard Carlson) writes a series of hate-filled articles about the two prisoners which eventually lead to a brutal lynching. The despair of the lower middle-class A family man ashamed of being unemployed allows himself to be convinced by a gangster to take part in a kidnapping. The police arrests them both and the anger of the small town’s population is unforgiving. THE SOUND OF FURY is a dark crime movie that builds up to an apocalyptic storm, but never loses sight of social realities, thus telling a lot about the daily despair of the working-class. A masterpiece, it was Cy Endfield’s last film before he felt compelled to move to Britain.相关搜索:
