《父母心》是獨立電影人約翰.卡薩維蒂於六十年代遇上荷里活製片之產物。故事講及精神科醫生畢蘭加士打聘請了來自音樂學院的朱迪.格蘭,於兒童精神病院利用嶄新手法教導外界認為無可救助的精神病兒童吉娜.羅蘭茲。片中兒童皆來自加州其中一間兒童精神中心,將這班被遺忘的一群真實地呈現在觀眾面前。
都市人面對種種生活壓力,大量社會問題備受關注。當面對社會的陰暗面時,主流社會最初會以迴避的態度面對,而經過大量之社會運動、媒體報導等以令社會更多元、開放,以積極的態度去面對。這種社會心態轉變可能用上半個世紀,甚至更長時間。其中兒童問題從來都是一個敏感議題,而卡薩維蒂早在六十年代已利用光影之間揭示社會鮮為人知的一面,廣泛引起主流社會討論。
卡薩維蒂是一位極具才華的獨立電影導演,游走於荷里活製作和獨立電影之間,利用偏鋒路線打破固有荷里活電影記事模式,注重強烈的演員性格去反映現實社會。本片被評為卡氏最為大膽作品之一,其寫實性令人嘆為觀止,創新起用精神病兒童在作品中表演。深刻地勾勒出這批非主流兒童的困境,打破大眾對他們的形象。而憑藉這齣先驅作品,我們更可以反思現時香港社會在這方面的缺失。
As a result of co-operation between Cassavetes and Hollywood's producers, A Child is Waiting was shown in the 1960s. Burt Lancaster, a psychiatrist, hires Judy Garland to work at a psychiatric facility for children. Garland uses an innovative method to teach a mentally retarded child, Gena Rowland, who the world has turned its back on. Patients in the film were from a real life psychiatric institution, where this group of forsaken children was being honestly presented to the audience.
City life is filled with all sorts of stress and problems. When facing the dark side of society, the mainstream community usually takes refuge in escapism. It is only after waves of social movements and media coverage that the people's attitudes about these problems would change and that they would take affirmative action about it. This process might take half century or longer. Children issue has always been a sensitive subject, yet Cassavetes has already chosen to show its untold stories in his film in the early sixties to arouse public discussion.
Cassavetes was a talented independent filmmaker who also engaged in Hollywood productions. His works emphasized on his actors, and through their characters, instead of traditional storytelling techniques, explored the realities of society. This film was hailed as the most daring piece of Cassavetes' works. Its realism was praised, especially of his inclusion of real life patients. The patients' difficulties were profoundly illustrated so as to eradicate the public's prejudice against them. From this avant-garde work, we can even reconsider the situation of these issues in Hong Kong.

结局分明取巧,四面讨好却失之真实。院长教育方式主张以理育人,音乐老师主张以情育人,何故电影里不能兼容?教育本就需情理两者并重兼容。有理无情,育失之心,人沦为体制规则的螺丝;有情无理,育失之知,人为情绪所御,宠极自矜而不能自律
卡萨维茨在好莱坞体制下为数不多的作品之一,明星级演员阵容,伯特兰卡斯特是什么角色都能演,但朱迪加兰好像就永远都高不成低不就,其实还是能很明显感觉到卡萨维茨在叙事时跟经典好莱坞模式的区别,典型的无段落高潮设置
其實動人而五味雜陳。特殊教育理念、天下父母心、社會變遷、兒童心理.....(什麼都觸及,卻也淺嘗輒止。)可以肯定的是JudyGarland人生中接拍的最後兩部都是佳片。
意圖令人嘔血,劇本不夠好,角色過於簡化,難怪Cassavetes不爽,但構圖跟幾場戲的處理頗有水準,比預期好看呀。讓殘疾人士演出自己,就好萊塢來說很少見。
对于卡索维茨自己来说这可能算是一次不太成功的尝试,不过可以推荐给你这样的卡索维茨接受无能患者看看。
朱迪嘉兰看起来有五十岁了,这个角色明显不合适她.卡萨维茨拍好莱坞片,选的题材还是如此边缘.
利用主流电影资源拍摄如此残酷的社会现实,好莱坞模式下一次非常有益的尝试.
卡索维茨带媳妇的好莱坞之作没有本人典型风格但却是一部非常不错的现实影片
弱智儿童理应欢乐多感恩节的话剧有意思火鸡火鸡!
雖然完全不是卡薩維堤的風格,不過拍的還不算差啊
不明白这么出色的电影,卡萨维茨本人为啥不认可?
60s的好莱坞就已经如此精彩~~~
