长篇影评
1 ) a great show
非常好的一部剧集,可见编剧的功力极其深厚。
会让人由衷的笑,也会让人感动的流泪。
里面人物的语速很快,充满着睿智的语言。很考验听力的说。
还要夸下字幕的翻译,把很多相关的点都列出来,帮助理解:)
可惜的是,第一季就要成为绝唱,和另外一部时间冲突,二选一舍弃了这个。
强烈推荐
2 ) smart show...maybe too smart
another Aaron Sorkin's TV show (or TV Play rather) that is smarter than most of the viewers (hence the low rating)
highly recommended for smart fans (like TWW fans)
3 ) Aaron Sorkin的风骨
喜欢West Wing的人,必然会喜欢Studio 60,而对West Wing不屑一顾的人,同样也会在Studio 60前断然离去,这些,都是Aaron Sorkin的风骨在作祟。
初看West Wing,是对政治题材的好奇,细看West Wing,是对机智、幽默、锋芒毕露的对白的欣赏,而喜欢West Wing,是对其中所表露出来的理想主义人文精神的折服。在丑陋的政治面纱下,当我们在现实中面对各种利益冲突不断磨平棱角,收敛光芒的时候,West Wing无疑让我们看到了在浓浓的灰色烟雾背后那一点淡而久远的光芒。
Aaron说自己写的是一出浪漫的办公室题材喜剧,我非常理解这一点。在一个收视率主宰一切的市场里,亮出好高骛远的范儿,无疑是自砸饭碗的自杀举动。而且跟West Wing相比,Stuidio 60的确具备吸引更多受众的潜质。好莱坞,媒体圈,俊男索女,喜剧秀,这一切比起驴象之争显然更讨观众喜欢,而没有色情暴力因素,更是符合美国主流社会的诉求。但,Aaron Sorkin显然并不打算迷失自己。
开篇,Aaron就透过Wes的嘴,肆无忌惮的控诉了一把媒体的丑陋,而到本季结尾时,长篇描述Tom Jeter的兄弟在阿富汗被绑架一事,更是让人恍惚回到了West Wing里面的总统办公室,Sam, Toby, Josh, CJ那些围绕着不同信仰,价值,理念的辩论又仿佛重现眼前。West Wing是个大舞台,各派势力,各种人物,各方观点,在美国权利的最高中心集中上演;而Studio 60是个小窗口,这里有更多的儿女缠绵,这里有很多的浮光掠影,但当我们透过那些美丽泡沫,我们仍能够看到那些闪光的人性和社会最深层的纠结。
所以,甚至在开篇之前,我就预感到West Wing的班底会粉墨登场,因为也只有他们,才能最好的理解和诠释Aaron的精神和底气。除了男主角们全都参演过West Wing之外,连C.J也毫无保留,不顾形象的客串了一集喜剧明星。
关于Studio 60,无论好坏成败,但无疑是解了West Wing迷的思念之苦。
4 ) It's show business.
In 2006, after 3 years of absence, Aaron Sorkin came back to NBC with his new show, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, a show about behind-secene stories of a fictional late-night sketch comedy show that airs on a fictional televion network, NBS(National Broadcasting System). Simply put, basically it is a duplicate of the SNL in another parallel universe. Designed to be "cutting-edge", the show rests itself upon long and quick conversations on ideological conflicts, religious beliefs, gay rights, and other big issues alike. Clearly enough, Aaron Sorkin was hoping to make a Hollywood version of The West Wing.
In one of the early episode, a journalist of Vanity Fair gets a full access to the show so as to write a special column about it. When Matt Albie, the head writer and executive producer, played by Matthew Perry, asks her during one of the many conversations why a journalist as prominent and political as she is, who had covered presidential campaigns, would want to write stories of a televison show, she responds, "I'm writing about it because what's happening here is important. I'm writing about it because I think popular culture in general and this show in particular are important." To be sure, this is not her talking. This is Aaron Sokin himself talking.
One season later, in sharp contrast with the huge anticipation before and the intense bid between networks for the pilot, the show was cut because of poor performance in ratings. The viewer numbers dropped their way down until the end, and the critics, largely comdians, were nothing but disdainful, accusing it of being unrealisitic and exaggerating television shows and its people's intellegence and infuence on American viewers.
Meanwhile, another show, also based on stories behind a fictional sketch comedy show, won more than one man can hold with both arms at the Emmy, except it is a comedy instead of drama. It is, of course, 30 Rock. It is not smug, nor condescending, nor trying to convey big, remote, complicated ideas to ordinary American people who sit in their couch after a long day merely looking for something funny to watch. It is simply made to be funny. It is the opposite of Studio 60. And It worked.
It must have been a big slap for Aaron Sorkin.
Then, two years later, came the 2008 presidential campaign. We all know the result as we can draw thousands of conclusions. But, notably, one of the most significant one of which is inarguably the former Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin. To be fair, however, the female role model governor's debut did not appear as devastating for Mccain's presidency as it later turned out to be, if anything, it surely has much to do with Tina Fey's merciless impersonation of her on the SNL, a late-night sketch comedy show that is real.
- Could somebody add some extra drama and irony, please?
- Tina Fey being the creator and leading actress of 30 Rock.
Yeah, that'll do it.
5 ) 因为看不懂所以追
开始看这部片子是因为看了两集还是不知道它在讲什么。有中文字幕的,还是看不懂。不过节奏不错。大概是因为太好奇所以又下了一集。看过之后我开始怀疑它是在讲述某些好笑的事情。于是又下了一集,好像的确有点好笑。那就再下一集。所以它就变成我的晚饭档电视剧啦。现在看到第11集了,开始觉得的确很好看。是新颖的题材吧。
6 ) Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
亚伦·索金写《新闻编辑室》之前的warm up,能看出来他其实是想让这个剧走长久的,但是这个剧整个的结构、每一集的结构都不太常规,很多情节点到为止不给观众太多满足感。
索金借着自己的作品又表达了一堆观点,包括媒体行业与爱国主义、宗教等等之间的关系。后来索金的《新闻编辑室》其实和《日落大道60号》很相似了,结构剧情和某些人物都是,甚至有的梗都是重复的。主要差别在于《新闻编辑室》中很少展现特别深的友情,而《日落大道60号》中Danny和Matt的友情的确是深刻的。索金好像的确不太会写谈恋爱的戏,这里的几对显然都是靠灵魂和意识在交流,不知道怎么就好上了。
能看到Matthew Perry在《老友记》以后有这样一部优质作品还是很欣慰的,他用演技证明了自己并不只是Chandler Bing。Sarah Paulson长相一般但是气质还是带点娇俏,可惜在这部剧里表现力不够强。Amanda Peet演的Jordan McDeere刚开始让人以为她的角色对位是《新闻编辑室》的Charlie,结果发现其实是Sloan,后半季全程都在卖萌。
非常爱 却被.....MD
同行业的,所以看得很爽..
理解不了美国人的幽默感。
难得有点内容的美剧
看过一部分,片源问题没看完
马修有点让我失望了。。。
写台词那哥们应该很NB
为了Danny,我不得不给满星……
美国电视人的紧张生活——无疑是好电视剧。但说实话,好多台词来不及思考就move on了——非常强悍的精致对白,经常语带三关引经据典的,缺乏行业背景知识就看的有点儿费劲。2010.3.16
Mattew is a writer and Josh becomes a former producer? ha
非常好的剧集,可惜停了
还不错
电视台那些事儿
不错的剧,可惜被砍了
2006最好的新剧
我最爱的Bradley和Matthew同演一剧,而且是sorkin编剧。天下无敌。只是,为什么,为什么,为什么要砍呢。简直不得不悲愤起来。
2集放弃,主角形象定型了,突然改变太不习惯
此剧为了MP成为制作人铺路,也多少成就了现在的30 Rock
NBC 2006
Matthew Perry其實很適合這樣的角色
