Mel Gibson轉(zhuǎn)型導(dǎo)演后第二部獨(dú)立電影,也是即前一部The Passion of the Christ(耶穌蒙難記)后第二部反映古文化及宗教歷史體裁的影片。影片以全部演員起用當(dāng)?shù)赝林用駷榭袋c(diǎn),甚至對(duì)白也全部采用影片所涉及歷史的語(yǔ)言——瑪雅語(yǔ)!影片首周就殺入北美票房榜的首位,盡管票房成績(jī)不如The Passion of the Christ,但其精彩性不容錯(cuò)過。
與演員的質(zhì)樸相反,在影片配樂上,Mel Gibson毫不含糊的請(qǐng)來(lái)了整個(gè)好萊塢腕兒級(jí)人物James Horner。這位鼎鼎大名甚至“入選”了我國(guó)高中音樂課本的大師毫無(wú)疑問是這部深邃歷史背景所架構(gòu)的獨(dú)立影片最好人選。在突出瑪雅文化的壯麗過程中,James Horner摒棄了傳統(tǒng)的交響樂,而改用長(zhǎng)笛、合成器還有完全真實(shí)的土著樂器,使人絲毫感覺不到現(xiàn)代拼湊出來(lái)的“摩登宏偉”。而James Horner還引用了以故Qawwali(一種宗教音樂)音樂大師Rahan Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan的人聲,來(lái)映襯了瑪雅祭祀文化的神秘,Ali Khan的喃喃低吟使人感到一種絲絲的寒意,在一種悲涼、驚恐的氛圍中體驗(yàn)祭祀的神秘(當(dāng)然,如果你聽?wèi)T了Dark Wave的話,我想你的感覺不會(huì)是這樣)。總之,單從故事性來(lái)講,這部影片就是一部二流劇,但影片的賣點(diǎn)卻是消亡已久的古老而神秘的瑪雅文化,將這種純粹的文化在當(dāng)今這商業(yè)化橫行的年代真摯的表達(dá)出來(lái),沒有一部出色的配樂大師操刀,再好的戲也出不來(lái)啊……
