回复 :Stuart Gordon, considered a master of the horror genre thanks to classics like Re-Animator and Dagon, decides to do a different move in this strange trip to human morals."King of the Ants" is about a regular guy, Sean Crawley(newcomer Chris McKenna), a man without any aspiration who just live in his apartment doing the necessary job to live to the next day. In one of his jobs he meets Duke(Gearge Wendt), who introduces Sean to his boss, Ray Matthews(played by Daniel Baldwin). Ray hires Sean as a spy, and orders him to follow Eric Gatlin(Roy Livingstone), an accountant who has been investigating Ray's company. Problems start when Ray, while drunk, orders Sean to kill Eric. And he does it. Things go wrong when Ray decides to make Sean disappear destroying his mind with violent punishment and humiliation.From the point where Sean kills Eric, we go in the same boat with him, as he goes through a downward spiral of human degradation, traveling from guilt, to confusion and finally to his rebirth, in a state where humanity, morals and values are not important anymore. Chris McKenna acting is very important because he manages to be likable even when he is part of gruesome acts, both as victim and/or criminal. He has that look of innocence that hides a dark side and he manages to carry the film.The support cast also includes Kari Wuhrer, as Eric's widow who also becomes a central part of Sean's trip to hell. She gives a fine performance, although it's obvious that Sean is the main character. He is the most developed of all and McKenna's performance is up to the challenge.The film has very disturbing images of violence, and while it may not be as graphic as "Kill Bill" for example, the strength of the violence is in the lack of humanity that the character manifest. He is more than an ant in this world. He is the king.Stuart Gordon has managed to create a film that, while maybe it's not one of his best efforts; it's very well done, has a VERY interesting story to tell, and manages to capture the attention every second of it.
回复 :本片根据越南古典文学作品《翘传》(作者是19世纪初诗人阮攸)改编。《翘传》,又称《断肠新声》是阮攸根据中国明末清初青心才人原著小说《金云翘传》改编。作品主要运用越南本民族文字喃字和越南纯碎的古典格律诗“六八体”诗(一种用上六言,下八言写成的诗体)完成一篇长达3254句的叙事诗,因此,作品具有很强的“民族性”,体现着“貉鸿子孙”的“国魂”与“国髓”。《翘传》主要叙述出身书香门第的王翠翘一生坎坷的生活和遭遇。她出身名门,才貌出众并与书生金重私订终身。可在金重奔丧期间,她为救遭诬陷入狱的父亲而卖身,不料被骗,沦落青楼。阮攸却已越过当时浓重的社会偏见,去赞美王翠翘优雅的身材,尤其那美丽的心灵。长诗通过王翠翘这个人物所受尽的历经十五年的磨难,来突出十八世纪末和十九世纪初的社会真相,以及存在的诸多社会弊端,最明显的便是官僚腐败,等级森严等的社会问题。控诉了腐朽的封建制度对人民的迫害,歌颂了争取爱情、幸福和自由的行动,寄托了人民的美好理想。可以说,《翘传》并不是一般的才子佳人小说,而其已经超越此范围。《翘传》被尊为民族文学的“语言之集大成”,凝聚了越南民族语言的精髓,尤其是民间语言,频繁使用越南民间特色的歌谣、成语、俗语,使得语言生动活泼,富有创意;尤其是他善于抒情,让故事中每个人物都充满情感。
