大象的眼泪

上野动物园饲养员对虎崽太粗暴了，致使小家伙露出恐惧的眼神，吃食也扔地上，看的我好心疼正好昨天想起这个电影，其实老板立场也不一样，大象不好好干活大家没饭吃，虎崽不听话饲养员拿人家出气就不对了。

给嫩牛五方上了火车，一枪打死马，睡了他老婆，最后让大象杀了老板，怎么看都觉得老板挺苦的。

大象虽然可怜，但是前因后果看下去老板也有苦处!而且他确实爱着老婆。

男女主角颜值高!做事不厚道!拿爱动物做壳子其实就是偷情杀夫写好文章声援老板，然后写12345去投诉动物园去，我妈说我吃饱了，爱护老虎人人有责！

Tony promised a surprise to me if I was able to apply for 20 new jobs within two days. While I failed to hit the goal at the end of the day, with the submission of only 15 new jobs, my sweet Mr. Hairball decided to deliver the surprise as he was convinced that I have been making a real effort in order to accomplish that difficult task.The prize came out to be a beautiful movie called "Water for Elephants" at Scotiabank Theater, starred by Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz. It was not among the movies that could give you an easy and amusing time on a Sunday night, but belonged to the category of movies that would truly help you think and feel. The story was about a veterinary student, Jacob, abandoned his studies after his parents were killed and joined a traveling circus as their vet. There he met the girl of his dream, Marlena, who was also the wife of his boss August. They fell in love while taking care of the new star attraction of the circus: a smart baby elephant. With overwhelming love for each other and inconceivable courage toward better future, they were able to defeat the brutality of August and the cruelty of the times.I think the movie has chosen a very good perspective to tell the story, for the reason that a circus is always a place full of ironies. It supposed to be a place that brings out the most amounts of true joys, but it was actually with tremendous hardship and tragedies underneath. It looks like a place full of intra-species love and communication, but it was actually dominated by wildness and manipulations. After all, a circus show was just another lucrative delusion of joys, a typical bloody business as many of the others in the historical period of Mid-20-century America. While Jacob, on the other hand, who served as a representative of the scarcely existed humanities during that era, has made every effort to struggle for true love and true cares. The reward for him was a girl of his dream and an immortal life story to be shared with his deeply touched audience.I was very happy to find Tony loved the movie all the same, although I am pretty sure that he could have some unshared feelings about it from a different angle due to his previous experiences. For that, I would like to respect and protect. “What if there was a happy ending for our past tragedies?” This is always a sentimental and magical question to think about. The singularity of the chance to live and the unrepeatableness of time have left us with a limited extent of choices as well as a great legacy of many unfinished yet unable-to-be-finished stories. In my eyes, it never harms to let the stories and pities finished with the help of movies and imagine for the moment about other possibilities of our own lives.And I have my unleashed thoughts too. “Where were you when I was seventeen?”When Marlena asked Jacob, helplessly yet hopefully, at that dancing party, I could clearly remember similar words coming out of my own mouth in the far-away past. The answer to that question was nothing about where were you exactly when I was seventeen; it was everything about what I am going to do with my already changed demand and feelings for life now. However, a big problem in the real world about that is: the true courage in striving for better future could be looking very similar to the ungrateful boldness to screw up a pretty good life. People need wisdom to tell the difference between the two, otherwise there could be a costly price to pay for simply being romantic. For example, in the movie I totally understood Jacob’s affections for Marlena and I completely caught Marlena’s internal unsatisfaction in her marriage with August, yet I pretty doubt about how would Marlena immediately feel after August’s death. August was her husband. He was the right person for her to meet when she was seventeen. He was a super evil for everyone else in the world except for her. As an audience, I feel delighted for Marlena and Jacob’s living happily ever after. But did August deserve such an applauded betrayal and demise as that?Love is truly beautiful, but love is also selfish. There is hardly right-or-wrong answer in any love story. It is touchy as long as it is real. - Once again ironically, these words came from someone who was somehow hurt by the love story that I am enjoying right now. I am always trying to feel, what exactly did Jacob see in that 1939 picture of the Winnie Brothers’ Circus Show at the very beginning of the movie? Cherished memory of his passed wife, grateful appreciation toward his own life, mixed feelings for his long-dead friend and enemy August? Despite all the complexity and ambiguity in his feelings, interestingly, that feeling reaches the bottom of our hearts and became something that we are all yearning for at the end of the day. When Tony and I, hand-in-hand, came off as the last two persons who walked out of the cinema that night, I could not help thinking about one simple question: if there is ever any audience for our own life, would they enjoy the show as much as we just did?JessicaMay 16 2011

这部电影不是特别有名气，因为罗伯特帕汀森才关注到它。

我没有看过小说也不知道小说有多么精彩，但是看完电影确实觉得不是特别精彩。

不过根据小说改编的电影都不如小说精彩，包括暮光之城系列也是一样。

总觉得电影的题目和电影没什么多大关系只是电影中确实出现了大象，并没有体现出大象的眼泪这样的意。

电影能表达出人物情感的部分不够多，高潮部分也不够高潮，其实他们的爱情算是轰轰烈烈，惊天动地的了，但是电影没有拍出这样的效果，有点失望，有空还是去看看小说。

尽管电影拍得不尽人意，但是大象的眼泪还是一个精彩的故事的。

印象最深的是在电影即将结束时男主说的一句话：她寿终正寝，在我心中依旧动人。

为罗伯特，还是想给个赞。

男主角啊男主角，你可以更顺眼一些么？

是那个演吸血鬼的男人，叫什么名字了？

罗伯特•帕丁森，《暮色》。

我想他在努力的表现，可惜不是天生的演员，或者还需要磨练？

影片讲述的是马戏团里发生的爱恨情仇。

男主角在顺风顺水的时候父母伤亡，欠了银行的债，然后扒上了一列列车，马戏命运登场了。

你的所学都不白费哈，还是多多学习啊，学兽医的在列车上找到了工作，后来因为马戏团要创新，弄来头大象，给男女主角制造了相爱的机会，原谅我刚才打的是风流二字。

后来女主角的丈夫发现，然后两人伺机私奔，却因为丈夫平时树敌太多而惨死，当然大象帮了大忙。

因为男主角仁心慈爱，跟大象建立的感情，所以关键时刻大象打死了丈夫。

你看，动物们多么友善。

我始终不明白男猪好看在哪了，到底有多少人觉得他帅，好吧这个可以不作为重点但是剧情也拍得太。。。。。

不够连贯，莫名其妙的男女主就火花四射了给个前因后果嘛爱护动物嘛，女人感性也就算了一个有点大脑的人，在面对吃饭和宠物的时候人性求生的欲望都是至上的我想要另外的生命一样活的体面可是前提是我也可以体面的或者在我死与他死的选择中，选择我死永远是不合逻辑的（当然在大多数情况下，求死的不算）所以男猪的爱心泛滥实在不让人觉得他有多高尚反倒是女猪显得更加理智，当然可能年龄上也是比较成熟的这部片子，叙述手法的无新意不是最大的缺点，因为倒叙虽然被很多经典电影采用，毕竟叙事的方法不过那三种。

但是情节上的糙实在不能接受好吧，那只是一个时代，代表一个时代，但是那个时代可以赋予更多的内涵，而电影没有表现出来

生活是什么呢，是爬上一列不知去往何方的火车吗。

有时还真的是这样，你不知道结果会如何。

敢不敢再励志一些呢，世界观可不可以再真实一些呢。

作为大学生，我佩服Jocob的坚持与魄力，一枪毙了得绝症的大白马；羡慕Jocob的狗屎运，发现了驯服大象的口诀；感叹Jocob与Marlena的爱情，老板娘的春天到来了；仰慕Jacob的替天行道，除掉了把人扔下火车虐待动物的黑心老板August。

高材生的没落，直至雄起。

相信爱情，相信知识的力量。

相信对真善美的追求。

男主太没有存在感了，还是说编剧的问题，身为一个兽医，虽然最后一场考试没考，也不至于说一开始看到马蹄子就熟练说出是啥问题，还霸气地做主开枪射杀银星，后面见到大象又怂了束手无策。

整部戏他只会垂着眼帘，或是傻傻地痴笑，一点也不爷们儿，我完全是冲着老戏骨 克里斯托弗·沃尔兹看的。

故事交代的硬伤，使得男主的受欢迎非常生硬和突兀，和动物互动的戏份也很嫌单薄，怎么的大象就要帮他杀死August？

也没见他对大象有多好啊。

总之本来应该是个很好的故事，却莫名其妙地让人觉得缺点啥，不够劲儿。

当然Christopher的表演还是一如既往地抢眼，好喜欢他发音的方式，他魅惑狂狷的笑容，他杀伐决断的霸气！

记得小时候，每年过年的时候我们县城的大操场都会有很多戏团来演出，跟影片的差不多！

有奇异表演，有动物表演等等。

每年那里都会人山人海，挤扛不动。

当然了在小时候我也经常到那里消费。

随着城市建设的发展与观众品味需要的提高，这些到处奔波的民间戏团渐渐的消失了。

它的观赏性已经亚于了一场好的电影！

因为关注罗伯特•帕丁森，所以关注他所有的电影！

《大象的眼泪》从片名我们可知是一部文艺片。

当然了要跟动物有关。

大象为什么要哭泣？

我们必须带着这个问题去影片中寻找答案。

当象牙钩一下下的刺进大象身体时它确实在哭泣！

我们也在反思为什么对动物那么残忍。

他们都是通人性的，也能和人类好好相处的！

在影片的最后马戏团的所有动物被释放出来，他们施展天生具有的兽性狂野时，我们看到了在牢笼的中的动物多么需要自由！

我们很惋惜这个地球人类成了主人，剥夺了动物的天资，束缚了他们的人身自由，让他们在牢笼中成为人类观赏的对象。

本片无论在故事情节，还是电影画面上都不能成为好的作品。

通过马戏团这个组织的兴衰来描述一场三角恋的故事。

我总觉的这段感情来的那么牵强，那么虚假，那么没有意义！

其中影片中马戏团老板（克里斯托弗•瓦尔兹饰演）对雅各布（罗伯特•帕丁森饰演）所说的几句话很具有代表性，附在下面大家共勉：世道就是无尽的戏法，人人都要耍手段。

不过耍得好必须靠天分。

只有成功才是货真价实的奇迹，成功可以洗去所有的罪孽。

影片是一个老人讲述自己人生经历。

雅格生在一个小康之间，一次车祸带走了他父母的生命，适逢美国经济大萧条时期，本应成为一名兽医的他成了无家可归的流浪者。

一次扒火车的经历让他成了马戏团的一员，在这里他不仅遇到了一只名叫罗西的大象，还遇到了改变他一生的女人——马连娜。

马戏团是一个真正弱肉强食的地方，艺人如果对马戏团没用了可能被扔出飞驰的火车或是被卖掉；老板如果没法发给大家工钱，会被艺人们吃到一根骨头都不剩。

在这个小社会里，有本事的人永远受人敬重，没本事的根本连存在的必要都没有。

罗西是为了解决马戏团的财政危机才被买回来的，老板奥古斯特为了赚钱，急功近利的他用象钩狠狠地戳向罗西。

总觉得大象是过于温顺了，不然一只脚就完全可以把奥古斯特踩扁。

在奥古斯特眼中，无论是妻子还是大象，还是马戏团里的所有人，他都是用这种近乎残暴的方式把他们管束起来，只要能赚到钱，他就永远是他们的老大。

我觉得马连娜是爱奥古斯特的，不然不会用那样的神情讲述他们的初次相遇，不会在遇到雅格的时候如此的隐忍。

但奥古斯特不信任她，而是把她当做自己的财产一般牢牢地攥在手心里，如果得不到就马上毁掉。

飞驰的火车上，雅格承诺，只是为了给她更好的生活，如果她不爱他，随时可以离开。

不是有句名言是“生命诚可贵，爱情价更高，若为自由故，二者皆可抛”吗？

森林里的风餐露宿，金丝鸟笼里的锦衣玉食，鸟儿更爱哪一个？

因为森林给了鸟儿尊重，于是无论多么精致的鸟食都无法消磨鸟儿回归森林的心。

人毕竟不是赚钱的机器，动物也不是印钞机，钞票只是能让我们更好生存的一种手段。

无论是马连娜还是罗西，都义无反顾地跟雅格走了。

虽然马戏团由于罗西马上就可以赚大钱了，但艺人们还是亲手毁了这个收纳他们很久的家园，当然，由于大家长奥古斯特的原因，人们已经不愿再承认这个家了。

雅格的个人魅力其实是比不上奥古斯特的，但他比奥古斯特更加懂得什么是尊重，什么是爱，于是便比奥古斯特更值得拥有如此美好的生活。

整部电影都没啥表现力 没什么演员比较出彩 尤其那头象 略丑 还没啥灵性 看完就觉得是把小说的情节堆积起来 唯一庆幸的是没让我看睡着
