2017/4/28 9:25:16
1.《梅爾文與霍華德》（1980）
A footnote in the life of eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes formed the basis for this early success.
行為怪異的億萬富豪霍華德•休斯生活中一些不起眼的小事構(gòu)成了這部早期成名作的基本故事線。
It riffs on the much-disputed relationship between Hughes and Melvin Dummar, a service station owner from Utah who claimed to be one of Hughes's beneficiaries after his 1976 death.
電影講的是休斯和猶他州一位加油站老板梅爾文•杜馬爾之間頗具爭議的人物關(guān)系。1976年休斯去世后，梅爾文聲稱是休斯的遺囑受益人之一。
It's a quirky story that enabled Demme to muse on the pitfalls of instant celebrity and the way a sudden windfall makes everyone your friend.
這個故事很奇特，讓戴米能夠揣摩瞬間成名帶來的各種陷阱以及突如其來的巨額財富如何讓你成為所有人的朋友。
Mary Steenburgen won an Oscar for playing Melvin's first wife, while Bo Goldman was also rewarded by the Academy for his screenplay.
瑪麗•斯汀伯根憑借在片中扮演梅爾文的第一任妻子而獲得了奧斯卡獎，而博•古德曼也憑借該片的劇本摘得奧斯卡獎杯。
2.《別假正經(jīng)》（1984）
Few directors have captured the electricity and excitement of live performance better than Jonathan Demme.
很少有導(dǎo)演能像喬納森•戴米那樣捕捉到現(xiàn)場表演中的火花和激情。
For proof, one need look no further than this film of Talking Heads in concert, shot over three nights in 1983.
想要證據(jù)？你只需看一看這部展現(xiàn)Talking Heads演唱會現(xiàn)場的紀(jì)錄片，導(dǎo)演在1983年花了三個晚上拍攝完成。
Featuring such hits as Psycho Killer, Burning Down the House and Once in a Lifetime, it's a perfect marriage of music, cinema and humour.
片中出現(xiàn)了諸如Psycho Killer、Burning Down the House以及Once in a Lifetime等熱門歌曲，是音樂、劇院和幽默的完美結(jié)合。
The latter is provided by David Byrne's suit, which gets progressively larger, and absurder, as the film goes on.
片中的幽默擔(dān)當(dāng)是樂隊主唱大衛(wèi)•伯恩的西裝，隨著影片逐步展開，他的西裝變得越來越大，看著越來越可笑。
3.《游向高棉》（1987）
Another live performance we can enjoy again and again thanks to Demme comes in this vivid record of one of Spalding Gray's acclaimed stage monologues.
這是又一部值得我們一看再看的現(xiàn)場表演影片，因為戴米的生動記錄，我們才能欣賞到美國著名演員和作家斯波爾丁•格雷這段廣受贊譽(yù)的舞臺獨白。
Focusing on the sometime actor's involvement in 1984 film The Killing Fields, it's a piece that addresses, both comically and poetically, America's own involvement in south-east Asian affairs.
影片把主要的關(guān)注點放在格雷1984年參與的影片《殺戮戰(zhàn)場》上，通過喜劇和詩意的方式講述了美國在東南亞事務(wù)中的角色。
Laurie Anderson's score combines with Gray's hypnotising skills as a storyteller to make a riveting hybrid.
勞瑞•安德森的配樂與格雷令人著迷的敘事技巧相結(jié)合，成就了一部引人入勝的作品。
4.《沉默的羔羊》（1991）
Demme wasn't the first film-maker to bring Hannibal Lecter to the screen. That honour belonged to Michael Mann and his 1986 thriller Manhunter.
戴米并不是第一位將漢尼拔搬上熒幕的電影人，這個稱號屬于邁克爾•曼和他1986年的驚悚片作品《獵人者》。
Lambs, though, was the one the Academy recognised, awarding it all of the "big five" Oscars - best picture, actor, actress, director and screenplay.
不過，《沉默的羔羊》受到了奧斯卡評委會的認(rèn)可，將最重要的五個獎項，最佳影片、最佳男主角、最佳女主角、最佳導(dǎo)演以及最佳編劇，都頒給了這部影片。
The film - and Sir Anthony Hopkins' Lecter - still have the power to chill the blood with its grisly autopsy scenes and Grand Guignol atmosphere.
直到現(xiàn)在，這部電影，以及安東尼•霍普金斯扮演的漢尼拔，依然能夠憑借其中重口味的解剖場面和整體恐怖的氛圍讓人驚悚不已。
5.《費城》（1993）
Two years on from Lambs' Oscar sweep, Tom Hanks won another Oscar for his role as a lawyer with HIV fighting workplace discrimination.
《沉默的羔羊》橫掃奧斯卡兩年之后，湯姆•漢克斯憑借出演一位與艾滋病毒攜帶者所受的職場歧視抗?fàn)幍穆蓭熡终靡蛔鶌W斯卡獎杯。
The film did much to remove the stigma associated with Aids at the time, not least by earning more than $200m at the worldwide box office.
影片在當(dāng)時幫助消除了不少與艾滋病有關(guān)的負(fù)面影響，而且還拿到了2億美元的全球票房。
"We wanted to reach people who don't know people with Aids, who look down on people with Aids," Demme told Rolling Stone in 1994.
戴米1994年對《滾石》雜志說：“我們想讓不了解艾滋病人、歧視艾滋病人的人都看到這部電影�！�
"We were calculated about it. We set out to make a movie dealing with Aids discrimination, and there it is."
“我們在這方面是有計劃的。我們計劃做一部有關(guān)艾滋病歧視的電影，然后就有了這部電影�！�
