遗言 Last Orders (2001)
剧情简介 · · · · · ·
Fred Schepisi's adaptation of Graham Swift's prize-winning novel is a quietly graceful portrait of four working-class Brits, bound by years of friendship, that unites some of England's finest actors in a powerful and deeply moving ensemble production. Michael Caine stars as Jack Dodd, the charismatic leader of the group, whose death and last wishes sends his friends on a nostalgic journey from London to Margate to scatter Jack's ashes in the sea. After forty years of warming the seats at their favourite pub, long-time friends and WWII veterans Ray (Bob Hoskins), Lenny (David Hemmings), and Vic (Tom Courtenay) are forced to face the loss of one of their own as they make the "epic" journey accompanied by Jack's flashy, prodigal son Vince (Ray Winstone). Noticeably absent from the group is Jack's long-suffering widow Amy (Helen Mirren), who travels to visit her autistic daughter instead of accompanying her husband's ashes, in a painful journey of her own which sheds light on her complex relationship with Jack. As the four men make their way to Margate, going from pub to pub, they reflect on a lifetime of memories of Jack, which are recreated in a series of multi-layered flashbacks that explore the delicate interweaving of their friendships; full of secrets, resentments, and deeply rooted loyalty. Schepisi masterfully handles the multidimensional plot lines while deftly allowing his talented cast to portray their flawed and profoundly ordinary characters.

斯威夫特：“這是一本爲了詮釋生命而描繪死亡的書，是一本有關死亡被生命不斷打斷的書。”一次忠於原著的改編，那幾個老去的人，在完成死去者遺願的途程中，再一次地體味著他們的人生，過去的，現在的，和以後的。死亡或者是被不斷消解的，杯酒之間，留下的痕，也許是，生之來往的足跡，和紛擾的思憶。
这戏看的时候真是要讲语法，看人称时态的，进行时完成时完成进行时不一而足，Schepisi对复杂叙事掌握之娴熟，在Six Degrees of Separation里就见识过。群戏之中，想单独说一下Helen Mirren,演女王啥的真没劲，她最好看的时候就是这部，一袭红衣，对女儿说，Goodbye.三十年，等不来她一句，Mom
这是一部几位已经进入风烛残年大叔的故事。老友走了，他们在送别的路上迤逦前行，往事如昨，感伤常新，剧情很感人，几位英伦的老戏骨演得也很精彩。
可惜没有找到字幕，JJ当年金发时期又萌又帅~~
