友情深似海的剧情介绍,Two New York City longshoremen Axel Nordmann, an Army deserter and Tommy Tyler, an easy-going freight car loader whose growing friendship is threatened by Charles Malik, a notably repellent punk.
Drifter Axel North has just arrived in New York City, having traveled from city to city throughout the country. Given the name Charlie Malick as a contact by an acquaintance named Ed Faber, Axel is able to get a job working as a stevedore in Charlie's gang on the dockyards. Little did Axel know that Charlie is corrupt, requiring payola for that job, and is a racist. It is solely because of the color of his skin that Charlie hates his fellow gang boss, Tommy Tyler, a black man. It is also because he can see that Axel is a little wet behind the ears that Tommy tries to befriend him to get him out from under Charlie's thumb. Due solely to the reason that he is a drifter, Axel is slow to warm and open up to Tommy, eventually providing some basic information: that he is originally from Gary, Indiana, that his real surname is Nordmann, and that the only person he has ever really loved in his life was his older brother Andy, whose death exacerbated the already strained relationship he has with his police officer father. Axel is even slower to warm to the idea of a girlfriend, Tommy and his wife Lucy's friend Ellen Wilson who they are trying to match up with Axel. Although Axel says he is trying to find something in his life, in reality he is currently running away from a specific issue from his past. It is when Axel's past may catch up with him that he starts to return to his shell and contemplates running away as was his routine, despite having friends for the first time in a long time. An incident with Charlie and Tommy may bring all their issues to a head.
3.5 这个译名有些许喜感= = 剧本差点事,Tommy的挺身而出被杀没有逻辑,而且结尾又掉入hypocricy实则white savior的窠臼。但是波蒂埃和卡萨维蒂两人的表现太出色了,两人对戏火花四溅,甚至比卡萨维蒂在其中的爱情戏更好看【两人还有最萌身高差 T T 尤其波蒂埃朴实又充满个人魅力的表演太让人喜欢他的角色,是挽回观感的最大亮点。
美国第一跨种族友情
Poitier和Cassavetes表演都很好,但我不喜欢Poitier角色的牺牲:Cassavetes在结尾是复了仇,但这远不够救赎;黑人死的还是很无辜、不值得。
Friendship.
比《码头风云》好看一点
