贾斯汀·比伯：永不言败

NYT的这篇评论有典型的成人调侃论调，言语没有太过于harsh（还是我口味太重？），但至少也能让人看得会心一笑。转载过来大家一同欢乐欢乐。



Jon M. Chu’s “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” is billed as a concert documentary, but fewer than half of its 105 minutes are devoted to Mr. Bieber onstage. That was the right choice, because he’s more engaging as a star than he’s ever likely to be as a performer.

You don’t necessarily want to talk about sex when discussing someone whose fans are mostly adolescent girls, but Justin Bieber is nothing if not an old-fashioned, carefully constructed sex symbol, somewhere between a more knowing Donny Osmond and a less insinuating Elvis Presley. When the little girls understand you, music and personality are beside the point.

Mr. Chu is certainly aware of this, given the close-up attention he lavishes on the priceless combination of eyes, hair and jawline, of smile, vocal timbre and self-confidence that have carried the waifish — but fit! — Mr. Bieber to pop-culture Valhalla.

And while “Never Say Never” is an approved biography and marketing tool, in which the 16-year-old Mr. Bieber showcases his winsomeness and humility alongside his modest talents as a singer and dancer, Mr. Chu recognizes that the most compelling visual in this story is all those screaming girls.

So he points the camera 180 degrees away from the star a fair bit of the time, and that view introduces a queasy note of apprehension into the otherwise wholesome picture. Occasionally you see a fan whose senses are particularly deranged by her love for Mr. Bieber, and you hope that his security team has her picture on file.

Mr. Chu, who has experience in both 3-D filmmaking and stage spectacles (he directed the “Step Up” sequels), toes the company line the rest of the time, splicing together home movies from Mr. Bieber’s prefame years and shooting numerous boring segments with his handlers and coaches. It should be noted that the film’s producers include Mr. Bieber and his manager, Scooter Braun, a 29-year-old whose inflections and intensity recall the young Rob Morrow.

The concert scenes are perfunctory, shot in the usual manner with the 3-D cameras gliding back and forth at knee level. A duet between Mr. Bieber and Miley Cyrus, just 16 months older, serves as a cautionary example of how quickly a child star can begin to look middle aged and irrelevant. Several appearances with Usher, on the other hand, demonstrate what it means to own the stage. Next to Usher, his mentor, Mr. Bieber just fades away.

In the film’s best and weirdest shot, Mr. Chu zooms in close as Mr. Bieber flings his head back and forth in slow motion, waving his famously floppy hair in a moment that’s both hilarious and creepy, especially when you’re watching in 3-D.

At 70 or 80 minutes, reduced to crazy fans, backstage atmosphere and home-movie footage of Mr. Bieber playing hockey and pounding the drums, “Never Say Never” could have been entirely satisfying. At 105 minutes it’s exhausting, even though it has been expertly cut together.

Mr. Bieber is amiable company, but on screen, at least, he also projects the opacity of the single-minded and self-assured — the quality that, along with good looks and competent management, makes him such an ideal repository for other people’s dreams. Everyone involved in “Never Say Never” is working overtime to prove that he is, as one of them puts it, “just a regular kid who had a dream,” while everything about the movie screams the opposite.

MJ已成为历史。今天，波波就像海报中一样，耸立在世界之巅，永不言败。
摇滚，朋克都去shi。今天，波波开创了新流行时代，是时代的巨人，永不言败。
……

波波创造了太多记录，而今，这位伟大的时代女性进军电影界，无疑是全宇宙电影界的一大黑马。
现在，奥斯卡80几年来终于找到了它存在的意义，是的，是为了等待，等待一位女神。电影人也终于看到了电影的新希望，电影史终于翻开了集恐怖/惊悚/喜剧/传记/音乐/科幻/励志等类型电影为一体的新篇章。
“夹死你逼·波儿”，划时代的名字，响彻云霄的名字，颤抖吧~~~凡人~~！

波波时代已经彻底来临！我不是神马性感女神，我不是神马B宝，我不是神马昙花一现，我不是神马伟人，我不是摆弄骚姿的bitch，我是新一代影后--Justin Bieber！

波波粉，当我们英文不如他人时，请看看我们的信仰
波波粉，当我们开始想犯贱时，请看看我们的信仰
波波粉，当我们Diva梦想破碎时，请看看我们的信仰
NEVER SAY NEVER!

这小伙帅呆了。

也许有些人会对你说这些事儿你做不到，
也许有些人会对你说你不能实现梦想，
也许有些人会对你说你不会在“花园”开唱将票售光。

这是我想对他们说的

NEVER SAY NEVER

如果美国没有碧波儿，杰克逊还将是流行乐而不是古典乐天王;
如果美国没有碧波儿，布兰妮将永远是美国甜心;
如果美国没有碧波儿，CA还将是年轻一代vocal系的代表;
如果美国没有碧波儿，MADONNA的巡演票房还将是世界第一;
JB DIVA创造了这么多记录，我们应该爱她的。
如果美国没有碧波儿，蕾丝边风潮将不会刮得如此迅猛;
如果美国没有碧波儿，USHER将永远是GAY(是JB DIVA的出现让USHER变直了）;
如果美国没有碧波儿，Billboard还将是一个音乐排行榜，而不是个人;
如果美国没有碧波儿，我们中国人将不会产生对美国音乐的兴趣。
JB DIVA的魅力改变了社会风气，我们应该尊重她的。
JB DIVA对此表示：一群无知的歌迷，没有如果，别作梦了，本宫不是还在世嘛！MJ、GAGA、麦当娜、BS、JT、TS、Bee、mimi 神马都是浮云，本宫将带领你们走向流行音乐的新世纪，顺我者昌，逆我者亡！至于那个USHER，本宫会寻找更好的替代品！（此句为引用）
现在碧波儿大举进攻影坛了，你，颤抖了吗？你，已经准备好钛合金狗眼了吗？
请跟随一代DIVA的脚步，昂首阔步地走上通向小金人的红毯吧！

PS.有两个句子需要解释一下，以便进行更好的科普：
关于MJ的“古典乐天王”：某护逼宝宣称MJ的时代已经过去了，不能算流行乐，而是古典音乐了，DIVA才是QUEEN of POP.
关于”billboard是一个人“：某护逼宝宣称DIVA的时代已经到来，因为DIVA在QQ音乐上的排行是第一。当有人劝其去查询BILLBOARD榜单时，此护逼宝叫嚣：BILLBOARD是谁啊，他有我们JB红吗？我为什么要去关注他啊？

竟然翻页了，JB DIVA果真魅力无穷

不是JB的铁粉 但也不讨厌 但是还是觉得看3D太不合算了
又不是什么《阿凡达》之类的科幻大片 为什么非得3D???

但又透着一丝嫉妒和艳羡的意味。
希望那些心智不成熟的成年人自重。自爱。尊重。原谅。









最后，如果连一个花季少女你们都不放过，那简直就是连人性的性都不知道怎么写！
