    百年50部英文烧脑电影赏析:[10]Flightplan 空中危机

    It's a tense, concise and elegantly shot film that creates a sense of menace from the very beginning — and in a way that's unusual.

    它是一部紧张的、简要的且拍摄精致的影片,它从一开始就创造了一种胁迫感——并且在某些方面,这是不同寻常的。

    ——Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

    Flightplan delivers a frightening thriller with an airtight plot.

    《空中危机》是一部有着无懈可击剧情的、令人害怕的惊悚片。

    ——Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun—Times

    Suspenseful and thrilling. A solid decent film that provides intrigue and keeps you entertained throughout.

    紧张而又令人激动。一部货真价实的上佳影片,它提供了一个错综复杂的阴谋诡计,让你自始至终都被吸引。

    ——Alexander C

    剧情介绍

    Kyle Pratt(Jodie Foster)is an American engineer based in Berlin. After her husband David(John Benjamin Hickey)fell off the roof of their building to his death, Kyle decides to bury him on Long Island, flying there with her six- year-old daughter Julia(Marlene Lawston)aboard a passenger aircraft which Kyle helped design. After falling asleep, Kyle wakes to find that Julia is missing. She begins to panic, and Captain Marcus Rich(Sean Bean)is forced to conduct a search. As none of the passengers remember seeing her daughter, Julia has no register in either the Berlin airport or the passenger manifest, and Kyle cannot find Julia's boarding pass, Marcus and the other crew members suspect that Kyle has become unhinged by her husband's death, and has imagined bringing her daughter aboard. One flight attendant Stephanie(Kate Beahan)is exceptionally unsympathetic. Faced with the crew's increasing skepticism regarding her daughter's existence, Kyle becomes increasingly desperate, Because of her increasingly erratic, panicked behavior, air marshal Gene Carson(Peter Sarsgaard)is ordered to guard and handcuff her.

    Marcus receives a wire from the hospital in Berlin that says Julia was with her father when he fell off the roof and also died of internal injuries. Kyle furiously denies it. The crew believes she is delusional. A therapist(Greta Scacchi)on board tries to console her, causing Kyle to doubt her own sanity until she notices that a heart Julia had drawn earlier on the window next to her seat is real. Kyle is emboldened and convinces the therapist to let her use the bathroom. Instead of doing so, she climbs into the upper compartment and sabotages the aircraft's electronics, deploying the oxygen masks and interrupting lighting. She uses the chaos to take an elevator to the lower freight deck. She desperately searches for Julia and finally opens her husband's casket to which she emotionally breaks down. Carson finds her, puts her in handcuffs and escorts her back.

    Kyle makes a final plea to Carson that she needs to search the plane upon landing. Carson considers for a moment, then “goes to speak to the captain.” He sneaks back into the freight deck to remove two explosives and a detonator concealed in David's casket then climbs down to the avionics section, revealing Julia who is sleeping(presumably drugged). He attaches the explosives to the side of the platform. At this point, it is revealed that Carson, Stephanie, and the coroner(Christian Berkel)in Berlin are part of a conspiracy. Carson tells the captain that Kyle is a hijacker and is threatening to blow up the aircraft unless the airline transfers $50,000,000 into a bank account. The conspirators killed Kyle's husband and abducted Julia in order to frame Kyle. Carson tells an unnerved Stephanie that he intends to blow up the aircraft, killing the unconscious Julia, and leave Kyle dead with the detonator in her hand.

    After making an emergency landing at Goose Bay Airport in Goose Bay, Labrador, Canada, the passengers exit the aircraft as the tarmac is surrounded by U.S. FBI agents. As the captain is leaving, Kyle runs to speak to him with Carson in tow. The captain demands she give up her charade having stated that $50,000,000 demanded by her has been paid. This is the singular moment she realises how she has been manipulated. Thinking quickly Kyle demands that Carson stay on board and the crew disembark. Carson hesitates and too realises that if he refuses then it would be seen that the charade would be his,

    As soon as the plane's door closes, Kyle knocks Carson unconscious, handcuffs him to a rail, and takes the detonator from his pocket. Stephanie comes out of hiding. Carson regains consciousness and fires at Kyle with a concealed gun, sending her running. He chases after Kyle shooting, until she locks herself in the cockpit. She opens a hatch door to the upper level and throws out a binder to fool him. Carson hears the upstairs thud and leaves. Kyle exits and encounters a guilt- ridden Stephanie. Stephanie panics and flees the plane,

    Kyle searches avionics and finds the unconscious Julia. Garson soon follows, and while searching, tells her how he gagged and dumped her daughter into the food bin. He disparages the people aboard who would never care enough to notice. Carson points his gun to where Julia lay before, but they're not there. He turns around and sees Kyle carrying Julia, with the detonator in hand. Carson shoots at her as she closes the door. She detonates the explosives, killing Carson. Everyone watches in shock and amazement as Kyle carries her daughter out onto the tarmac.

    Later, Marcus apologizes to a seated Kyle holding Julia in her arms. Stephanie is led away by FBI agents. Kyle carries Julia still unconscious through the crowd of passengers. Before loading her daughter into a van to take them away, Julia wakes up and sleepily asks “Are we there yet?” as they drive away.

    卡尔·彼莱特(朱迪·福斯特饰)是一位长期居住在柏林的美国工程师。她的丈夫大卫(约翰·本杰明·希基饰)从他们住处的屋顶上跌落下来意外身亡后,卡尔决定将她的丈夫埋葬在美国长岛。她带着她6岁大的女儿朱丽亚(马勒尼·劳斯顿饰)乘坐的客机,正好是卡尔曾经参与设计的。在卡尔迷迷糊糊一觉醒来的时候,发现女儿朱丽亚失踪了。她开始变得十分惊慌,机长马库斯·里奇(肖恩·宾饰)不得不组织搜寻。然而没有一个乘客记得见过她的女儿,朱丽亚没有在柏林机场注册过,也没有在乘客登机表上注册过。卡尔也找不到朱丽亚的登机证,机长马库斯和其他机组工作人员怀疑,卡尔是被她丈夫的去世弄得有点精神错乱,想象带着自己的女儿上了飞机。其中有一名乘务员斯帝芬妮(凯特·比罕饰)对卡尔的遭遇一点都不感到同情。面对机组人员越来越多的质疑——怀疑她是否确实带着自己的女儿上了飞机,卡尔越来越感到绝望。由于她的行为越来越古怪和恐慌,警长吉尼·卡森(彼得·萨斯加德饰)命令机警给卡尔戴上手铐并看管着她。

    马库斯收到一份来自柏林医院的电报,说当朱丽亚的父亲从屋顶上掉落下去的时候,他和朱丽亚在一起,并且朱丽亚由于内伤也去世了。卡尔狂躁地否认了这个消息。机组人员觉得她已经是精神错乱,得了妄想症。飞机上的一位治疗师(格瑞塔·萨卡奇饰)试图安慰她,这让卡尔开始怀疑自己是否已经神志不清了,但是当她注意到,自己女儿朱丽亚坐在旁边靠窗户的位置时,在窗户上画的一个心形图案还真实存在着,才肯定自己没精神错乱。卡尔这个时候壮起了胆说服了那位治疗师让自己去卫生间。但是她并没有去卫生间,她爬到了飞机上面一层隔间,并破坏了飞机的电气系统,氧气面罩掉落了下来,飞机上的照明也中断了。她趁着混乱期间,乘坐电梯来到了下面货运甲板处。她在那里拼命地寻找着朱丽亚,最后她将自己丈夫的棺材打开了并失声痛哭。卡森找到了卡尔,将她拷了起来并押着她回到机舱。

    卡尔苦苦哀求卡森,说自己需要在飞机着陆前再搜寻一遍。卡森考虑了一会,然后说道:“我去和机长谈谈。”而卡森却偷偷溜回到货运甲板,从大卫的棺材里移走藏于其中的两个爆炸物及一个引爆器,然后他向下爬到了航空电子设备那,而朱丽亚就在那昏睡着(大概是被麻醉了)。他将爆炸物绑在了两边的平台处。电影演到这里,才暴露出原来卡森、斯帝芬妮和柏林那个验尸官(克里斯汀安娜·贝克尔饰)都是一个惊天大阴谋的成员。卡森告诉机长,卡尔是一名劫持犯并威胁说如果航空公司不将50,000,000美元汇到一个银行账户里就炸毁飞机。合谋者杀死了卡尔的丈夫并诱拐了朱丽亚,都是为了设计陷害卡尔。卡森告诉焦躁不安的斯帝芬妮说:他打算炸毁飞机,杀掉昏迷中的朱丽亚,让卡尔手拿引爆器死去。

    在加拿大的兰布拉德市鹅湾镇的机场紧急迫降后,飞机上的乘客们都逃离了飞机,而停机坪已经被美国FBI特工人员包围了。当机长正要离开时,卡尔跑过来和他谈话,而卡森紧随其后。机长让她不要再演戏了,并说她要求的50,000,000美元已经给她打到银行账户上去了。直到这个时候,她才意识到自己被别人利用了。卡尔飞快地思索了一下,知道是卡森,并立刻要求卡森留在飞机上,机组人员全部下飞机。卡森犹豫着,心里很清楚,如果他拒绝的话,那么他的假象会很快被戳穿。

    当机舱门关上的刹那,卡尔出其不意地打昏了卡森,用手铐将他拷在了一根扶手上,并将引爆器从他口袋里夺走。斯帝芬妮从躲藏的地方出来。卡森从昏迷中恢复过来,拿出他藏匿的枪朝卡尔射击。卡尔迅速地跑开了。开枪未击中卡尔后,他立刻开始追赶卡尔,直到卡尔将自己锁在驾驶员舱里。她打开舱口一个通向上层的门,并丢过去一个活页夹,使他误以为自己从上面跑脱。卡森听到了楼上的声响,以为卡尔已经从上面逃走就离开了。卡尔从驾驶舱内出来后,遇见了负罪感深重的斯帝芬妮。斯帝芬妮感到非常害怕,逃离了飞机。

    卡尔搜寻到那个航空电子室,并发现了昏迷不醒的女儿朱丽亚。卡森很快也到了那里,在搜寻过程中,他告诉了她,自己是如何堵住她女儿的嘴,并把她塞进食品柜里的。他鄙视飞机上的那些人,因为那些人从来没有注意到这些。卡森把枪指向朱丽亚曾经昏迷躺着的地方,但是发现朱丽亚已经不在那里了。他转过身发现卡尔抱着朱丽亚,手上拿着引爆器。在电子室的门将要被卡尔关上的时候,卡森立刻朝她开枪。她引爆了炸弹,杀死了卡森。每个人看到爆炸都被震惊了,看到卡尔抱着她的女儿从飞机出来走到停机坪上的时候,都非常吃惊。

    后来,马库斯向怀抱朱丽亚坐下来的卡尔道歉。斯帝芬妮被FBI警员带走了。卡尔抱着依然昏迷的朱丽亚穿过乘客人群。在来到要带她们母女俩走的厢式货车前,朱丽亚醒过来了,困倦地问道:“我们已经到了吗?”然后她们就离开了。

    影人访谈

    Jodie Foster Interviewed by David Michael

    Is it just a coincidence that after Panic Room you're again playing a mother who's struggling for the life of her daughter?

    Well, it clearly must be something I'm drawn to. I'm a parent, I have two kids, I get drawn to things that move me and touch me personally. I must be drawn to the aspect that a parent would do anything to keep their child safe. And yet in this film, she realises that she can't keep her child safe. I think that's the primal fear of every parent. I don't think it's a coincidence, no.

    The Flightplan script was originally written for a man. How come you read it in the first place?

    I was just looking for things that were going. When I approached them and thought it was perfect to flip the gender, coincidentally the producers felt the same thing.

    American air stewardesses boycotted the film, because they claim they're shown in a bad light. What was your reaction to that?

    Well, everybody should say whatever they feel. It's nice to hear criticism about the movie; otherwise you don't know what you can do better in a movie. I think in a film like this, it's not really important; it's about nobody believing her. The people who don't believe her are human beings, whether they're stewardesses or not It's also not a technical movie — I don't think it's the biggest problem in the world that stewardesses feel like they're being portrayed in a bad way.

    继《颤栗空间》之后,你再次扮演了一个为了女儿的生命而斗争的母亲,这仅仅是个巧合吗?

    嗯,这显然是我被某种东西所吸引。我是母亲,我有两个孩子,我被能感动我的、能触碰我个人心灵的事情所吸引。

    我被家长不惜任何代价保护自己孩子安全的一面所吸引。然而在这部电影中,她意识到她不能保证自己孩子的安全。我想这是每个父母的本能恐惧。我不认为这是巧合,不是。

    《空中危机》的剧本最初写的是一个男人。你最初读到它的时候是怎样的感觉?

    我只是在寻找要做的事情。当我走近他们的时候,我想如果把性别改变一下就完美了,恰巧制片人也有同样的感觉。

    美国的空姐抵制这部电影,因为她们声称有损她们的形象。对此你有何反应?

    嗯,每个人都有权力说出他们的感受。很高兴听到对这部电影的批评,否则你不知道你可以在下一部电影中如何做得更好。我认为一部像这样的电影,这点真的不重要,因为这里反映的是没人相信她。不相信她的人都是人,无论他们是否是空姐。还有这不是学术电影一我不认为空姐觉得有损她们的形象,是什么严重的问题。

    幕后花絮

    在拍摄客机外景的镜头时,剧组使用了30英尺长的模型。

    在现实生活中,扮演机长的肖恩·宾惧怕飞行,只有在万不得已的情况下才会登上飞机。另外,扮演空警的彼得·萨斯加德也从童年起便惧怕飞行。

    朱迪·福斯特扮演的角色起初是为西恩·潘所写,巧合的是,在1997年的《心理游戏》中,西恩·潘扮演的角色起初也是为朱迪·福斯特所写。
