待绽蔷薇

虽然没有到达要强力推荐的地步，
但是电影人物的过于真实的表现，
或者说摇晃的镜头，给人一种真实感，
摄影和演员最大程度的给题材以真实感，因此而令人感动吧
突然穿插的AV 拍摄镜头令人大吃一惊
看样子是真枪实弹。

一个不出名的小AV女优，和一个孤独的老太太
一个人的职业和地位，并不能影响她为陌生人付出爱
哪怕一开始，是出于非法占有了老太太的钱
而感到的心里不安。

jane的朋友，以及她的男朋友
算是那种不正当行业里又不正经的人吧
故事引进这两个人的存在
更加突出了女主角的性格和内心世界

但是Melissa在发现jane拥有一笔财富后却并没有私自拿走
而是静坐着等jane能将这笔钱花给melissa自己。
倒是令我挺意外的。
可能是因为站在中国人的角度，觉得剧情发展到这里了
Melissa这种饰演坏女人的角色肯定会拿走钱然后女主角彻底无法跟老太太交代。
跨文化的差异果然显得我特别狭隘啊。

melissa自大的认为全世界都应该为她效劳，
但是嘴脸却并没有难看到哪里去，
这也是电影令人看起来特别真实的地方之一。
没有人是彻底的坏人
她只是性格比较奇特
或者脾气比较特别
大众的小众的接受能力不一样而已

最后老太太没有告诉jane，melissa特地前来捅破窗纸告诉她钱的事。
老太太知道了jane 靠近她和她做朋友的原因
反而不再疑惑，并且接受了这份特别感情。

蔷薇带刺，花美好
说的到底是谁呢？

很喜欢这部片子和Dree 转载访谈，帮助理解片子台前幕后，没看错av场面果然是替身然后剪得真不错。好有趣的制作过程耶，原来去参加色情业展会是真的，使用隐藏拍摄，很多人以为女主就是pornstar然后各种~~ 哈哈，不过no judgement也是棒棒哒。dree也聊到很多关于自己家族的事情，喜欢她的低调单纯，而且做出了一部好片子，这是我看她的第一部，很偶然找到的。翻译就不做了，我觉得最直接的理解是看原文，给几个关键词，有兴趣的自己理解。
body double 替身；improvisational 即兴的；scatterbrained

The young actress talks to THR about her burgeoning acting career as well as how she copes with bearing the last name of one of the world's most famed writers.

正文
As much as she'd probably like to avoid it, the first line in Dree Hemingway's biography probably would note that she is the great-granddaughter of famed writer Ernest Hemingway and the daughter of actress Mariel Hemingway. But with a few more movies like Starlet, her first leading feature role, that just might change.

Hemingway, 25, plays Jane, a flighty, listless woman in her early 20s living in Los Angeles with her friend and the friend's boyfriend. She flits about through her days, smoking weed and shopping and taking her Chihuahua wherever she goes. She might seem like a low-rent Paris Hilton, but she has more depth than it appears at first glance.

Film Review: Starlet

When she buys a thermos for a dollar at a yard sale from an old woman, she finds $10,000 rolled up inside. After trying to return the thermos to the cantankerous octogenarian, who refuses, she decides to at least befriend the lonely widow, Sadie. This is easier said than done, though the two eventually form an odd relationship. It is one built partially on lies; Jane doesn't tell Sadie about the money, or the fact that she works as a porn actress -- something kept from the audience through much of the movie, as well.

THR recently spoke to Hemingway about the film and her famous bloodlines.

The Hollywood Reporter: What happened in your interview with director Sean Baker?

Dree Hemingway: I’m so passionate about this character, but a lot of it was how I perceived her and who I thought she was and to clarify if I’d do the porn scene. And really wanting to assure me that they’d use a body double and just wanting to make sure I’d be comfortable with the whole situation. And everything he was saying about the character was something I had thought of, and there were things that I wanted to bring, and it was really nice. And what really hooked it was the communication between us.

THR: So you weren’t uncomfortable with the porn thing?

Hemingway: I mean, it freaked me out, I’m not going to lie. I think I was so passionate about the whole story that it’s kind of something that it needed. It freaked me out, but also knowing that it wasn’t me was kind of OK for me -- although I’m not in denial that people are going to think it’s me because a lot of people don’t watch the end credits, and it’s really well cut. But as much as it scares me, and is such a scary thing to do, it’s such a neat film that I think that one ending scene is kind of the most perfect ending for any movie, and I just love it. … I’m not a huge fan of porn, but I really wanted to embrace the world from a different perspective, where it’s not a tragedy, it’s not coming from a tragic place.

THR: How much of the film was improv?

Hemingway: Most of it was improvisational, to be honest. It was like, we were given some lines, and you always had to know where you were going to end up in the scene, but a lot of it was improvisational. A lot of it was scary in a way that you can’t really craft. But it’s actually one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. You really have to be present in the situation that you’re in because a lot of time you were working with real people, who didn’t know until they were done working with us that they were on film and working with actors.

THR: Which points were that?

Hemingway: The whole entire porn convention. We had a hidden camera. I had a hidden mic. People thought I was a real porn star at a real booth. All those people talking to me.

THR: So they were just big porn enthusiasts.

Hemingway: They all kept coming up to me and saying: “I really love your movies. I want to work with you.” And I was like, 'Let’s go!' It’s so weird and crazy. And all those people playing bingo, we just stood in the bingo hall.

THR: Was anyone upset about being caught on camera?

Hemingway: A lot of people at the porn convention were really upset that they were on camera. Some of them were like parents, and some of these guys were like, “I’m a schoolteacher.” And you’re like, OK. … But the thing is, there is no judgment on them because they are just the ones that have the balls to get their asses off the computer and go to an actual porn convention. Which I have to say is kind of hilarious and really fun.

THR: Really?

Hemingway: Yeah. It’s an adult amusement park.

THR: It’s like a Comic-Con but for porn.

Hemingway: Exactly! It’s just like Comic-Con. You get some whacked, crazy people, but it’s so much fun. I think if you come to it from a point of not taking it seriously -- a lot of these people go, and they’re there to see one porn star whom they’re obsessed with -- but if that’s not your basis, it is a fun time. It’s hilarious.

THR: What would you do if you found that money, in that situation?

Hemingway: Oh, I’m such a guilty person, I’d totally give it back.

THR: No hesitation?

Hemingway: I mean obviously, I think that part of me would want to keep it in a way because it’d be like, oh I found it, and it’s -- what is that saying? Finder's keepers? But no, even if I’d try to do that, I’m too guilty. I remember when I was 14, I stole a little bracelet from a vendor, like an outside cart vendor, it was me being rebellious, and I had a lot of friends who loved to steal ChapSticks and little things, and so it was me trying to include myself in the situation. So I stole this bracelet. And I had it for a full day, but I couldn’t wear it because I felt so guilty. So when I wasn’t with my friends, I went and brought it back.

THR: So you are Ernest Hemingway’s great-granddaughter? Did you ever feel pressure to be a writer?

Hemingway: I would never write, ever. I might as well exile myself.

THR: Why?

Hemingway: Because it’s like, if I were related to Monet, I don’t know if I would be comfortable becoming an artist because it’s too much, the comparison. If I wrote a book and put it out, the comparison to my great-grandfather, the comparison would be hilarious. Every critic, it would be their dream, they’d tear me apart. I’m just not a confident writer, either. I feel like I can’t make sense of things in a way. I’m so scatterbrained when I write.

THR: Do people ask you to?

Hemingway: People ask me all the time. And my mother is an actress, and my aunt Margaux was a model. And it’s funny, as much as I’m all about I’m my own person, and I’m making my own name for myself, I have grown up in a world where most of these people who are like me are children of famous parents. So it’s easy to become the socialite and be famous for that. But my whole thing was, as much as I was inspired by what my parents do, and growing up on film sets, watching that made me really want to do that. I am my own person, and I think that the only thing with the Hemingway name is that it has gotten me in the door. But once you’re in there, I know I’m under a huge microscope, and everything you do, people are going through it with a fine-toothed comb and picking at you.

So it’s great, it gets you in there, but once you do, you’ve got to f---ing prove yourself. The modeling, I think it’s different because they don’t give a f---, it’s harder to get in there with a name already, and I think I had to prove myself, and it didn’t matter who I was. But I don’t feel like I’m competing against anything in my family; I’m so honored to be a part of it, but I also know I am my own self, and I’m not riding anyone’s coattails because I know I really worked for something.

《AV女优和孤独寡妇的情感故事》，反正我一下就想到了这个标题，像是路边摊两三元一本的三俗小说的封面故事。但并非想说这片子也是这般。

片子总体上采用极为写实的叙事手法，配乐没有刻意拉动情绪，多数采用后摇般的清新曲调，情感与人物内心都在对话表情和语气中体现。跟随生动的人物形象，观众的思绪也由奔逸四散逐渐进入到影片当中。

来看看人物形象吧。

美丽的姑娘Jane，虽然从事AV行业，却意外地让人觉得单纯善良。
不约炮，不滥交。虽然张闭口都有"Fuck"，虽然有时和室友Melisa扒扒水烟飞飞叶子，终于是环境使然，美丽的心灵从不会被这些所掩盖。
她从老妇人Sadie那儿买来的二手水瓶中发现了一万大钞，并由此结识老妇人，和老妇人成为忘年交。
刚开始，我以为Jane只是因为老妇人有钱，接近她只为图财。渐渐地，我想也许是因为她拿了Sadie的钱而心中有愧，想靠帮助老人来获取良心安宁。无论开始是否心中有愧，我想后边一定是友谊使得Jane陪伴着老人。
接送老人去超市，带老人去动物园，和老人相互分享生活，让Sadie照顾Starlet，都具有亲人老友般的信任和关怀。
Jane不交男友，Sadie问她为何，她说自己的职业不适合有男朋友。即使她没有去找一个男友，就已经开始为对方考虑了，谁会期望自己的另一半是AV演员呢。

孤寡老人Sadie，孤独，念旧，渴望亲情和友情却怕再次失去。
老人喜欢有年头的事物，喜欢自己房子里乱糟糟、破烂的旧物品，喜欢门前长得张牙舞爪的老树，喜欢自己多年经营的花园，喜欢自己几十年来收集的关于巴黎的一切。
这些也许记载着自己逝去的生活与青春，也许让Sadie睹物思人，她的生活也就只剩下了回忆。没有新的事物，没有期待，没有未来。
直到Jane和Starlet的出现。
刚开始，像所有失去挚爱的老人一样，Sadie猜测着，怀疑着，躲避着，不接受Jane主动伸出的双手。最终还是被Jane的诚挚和不懈所感动。接纳了这段友谊。
Starlet走失时，Sadie十分惊慌失措、焦虑惶恐，虽然其中必然有对Starlet的担忧，但更多的是怕因此失去与Jane间的情谊。她无法再承受更多了，她不想又一次体验失去亲友的痛苦了。为此宁愿从未有过友谊。

一老一少两人差别许多，一个青春不再、孤苦伶仃，一个青春靓丽、阳光活泼，但他们的真实、善良却又是相同的。
没有花言巧语，没有做作的煽情，真情饱含在朴实的语言中，流露于两手相握的那一刻，那是一切尽在不言中的一刻，是无言而感人的一刻。

也许伸长脖子，挥起拳头，鼻涕眼泪一把抓，声嘶力竭地大喊："I care about you so mush! But you..."这样的表演会让观众能够很明白地理解导演想要表达什么，但来得还是虚假无力了。
而像《待绽蔷薇》这样平淡的演绎中，才真正让人对此真情有所感悟。

整部片子就是一个那又怎样的调调。

我拍porn video又怎样，我不也是热爱生活装饰房间，关爱弱小，收获意外之财会惴惴不安,认真工作，真诚待友。

她拍porn拿我钱又怎样，我一个孑然一身的老太婆有花不完的钱，她能载我去逛超市，陪我玩bingo，还想着带我去巴黎圆梦。

某些人道貌岸然，自以为是，就算面子再好看那又怎样。

ps:衣服真好看。
