《黑暗物质三部曲之黄金罗盘 The Golden Compass》剧情介绍:
被视为好莱坞继《魔戒三部曲》后,最大奇幻巨制的电影《黄金罗盘》,是新线( New Line)影业公司继成功摄制发行《魔戒三部曲》系列后,最大手笔的奇幻冒险新作。该片耗资近两亿美金,结合了仿如《魔戒》中自成一格的奇幻国度,以及《哈利·波特》的神奇魔法等多种元素,是个充满幻想,并结合善恶永恒对抗、女巫与灵兽相伴的冒险史诗,将带领观众进入前所未有的奇幻世界,展开一段充满想象与惊奇的冒险旅程。
本片改编自菲利普·普尔曼(Philip Pullman)的最畅销小说《黑暗物质》(His Dark Materials)三部曲之一,由克里斯·维兹(ChrisWeitz)执导。《黑暗物质》三部曲由《黄金罗盘》、《精工小刀》(The Subtle Knife)和《琥珀望远镜》(The Amber Spyglass)构成。
《黑暗物质》是由一系列很长的故事组成的,整个故事发生在一个和我们的地球很相似的世界里,讲的是一对名叫莉拉和威尔的少年的旅行和冒险经历,不仅围绕孩子,还涉及清白、原罪以及融合了魔幻、科学等元素。第一部《黄金罗盘》中莉拉为了拯救她最好的朋友罗杰而前往危险重重的极北之地,在那里她还将尽全力帮助其他被诱拐的孩子逃离成为邪恶科学家试验品的厄运。第二部《精工小刀》讲的是莉拉遇到了一个从地球出逃的男孩威尔,在两人成为密友后却发现了一个致命的秘密。在第三部《琥珀望远镜》里,莉拉和威尔穿梭于各个不同的空间,故事的结局是两人携手开始了对一个最不可知秘密的探索之旅。
本片讲述的是一位叫莉拉·贝拉奎亚(Lyra Belacqua)的早熟小女孩,前往一座平行宇宙搭救被黑暗势力绑架的朋友,与各种异形生物、巫婆和其他人物遭遇的故事。
其中妮可扮演的柯尔特夫人(Mrs. Coulter)是一位颇有背景、神秘莫测的邪恶学者,而片中的主角莉拉由首次触电的英国女孩达科塔·布鲁·理查兹(Dakota Blue Richards)扮演。除了妮可与达科塔,新007丹尼尔·克雷格(Daniel Craig)与邦女郎伊娃·格林(Eva Green)也将在新片中再度合作。
《黑暗物质》不仅有奇诡的世界观,更在《哈利·波特》式的文学地基上承载着神学、宗教、原罪等形而上的思想建筑;类似隐喻《圣经》的《纳尔尼亚传奇》,但止步冒险的内容并无《纳》的作者刘易斯巨匠的史诗野心。本作迥异上述各路神仙的最显著特征当属科学元素——时间定位于近代的《黑暗物质》,将神秘的中世纪炼金术与“以齿轮为标志”的早期机械工程概念巧妙融于一炉,在从圣地牛津大学到极地寒冷冰原、从现实世界到平行空间的广袤舞台,展开成长期的少年面对重重危机与种种诱惑的惊天大冒险。
The Golden Compass Movie Synopsis
Based on author Philip Pullman's bestselling and award-winning novel, The Golden Compass tells the first story in Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. The Golden Compass is an exciting fantasy adventure, set in an alternative world where people's souls manifest themselves as animals, talking bears fight wars, and Gyptians and witches co-exist. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by newcomer Dakota Blue Richards), a 12-year-old girl who starts out trying to rescue a friend who's been kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as the Gobblers - and winds up on an epic quest to save not only her world, but ours as well.
In a parallel world where people each have a personal, the manifestation of their soul in animal form, young Lyra Belacqua is a precocious orphan growing up at Oxford University. The rambunctious girl enjoys climbing on the roof with Roger the kitchen boy, spitting plum stones on passersby, stealing apples from the market and disrupting tutorials by making animal sounds.
But her carefree existence changes when she and her prevent an assassination attempt against her uncle, the powerful Lord Asriel, then overhear a secret discussion about a mysterious entity known as Dust. She s then quickly swept up in a dangerous game involving disappearing children, a beautiful woman with a golden monkey demon, a trip to the far north, and a set of allies ranging from witches to an armor-clad polar bear.
