片名:《罗杰和我》
国家:美国
出品:1989年
时长:120Min
导演:迈克-摩尔
导演介绍:迈克·摩尔(Michael Moore),又译迈克尔·穆尔。美国著名激进作家,制片人和选举人,同时也一直是美国颇具争议的电影人,以政治观点偏激,反抗主流,犀利幽默和特立独行而闻名。一个偶然的机会迈克尔·穆尔接触了纪录片这种艺术形式,他立刻意识到如果用了纪录片的形式来反映自己一直关心的政治问题将更加有震撼力。随后他开始四处举债拍摄自己创作的纪录片。
1989年他拍摄的第一部以反映美国大型公司职工下岗问题的纪录片《罗杰和我》(《Roger&Me》)一片虽曾一度惹起颇大争议,受到奥斯卡排挤,但却大获成功,为穆尔赢得了广泛的声誉。
2002年,国际纪录片协会进行了史上最佳纪录片的评选,已经参加2003年奥斯卡最佳纪录片评选的《科伦拜恩的保龄》(Bowling for Columbine)被评为历史上最伟大的纪录片,影片全景式地展现了美国人的“枪文化”,探讨了在这个国度暴力泛滥的根源,它能够占据首位恐怕和其应景性不无关系。《罗杰和我》(Roger & Me)位居第三。
其新作《华氏9/11》,荣获第57届戛纳国际电影节金棕榈大奖。
和一般纪录片制作人不一样的是,摩尔即使在面对最严重的问题时,也不会放弃一种顽皮的态度,或许有些放肆,他的作品总有嬉戏耍闹的感觉,虽然到最后他不会让观众觉得可以一笑了之,但他的纪录片确实富有相当的娱乐性。
影片介绍:ROGER & ME,关注的是导演本家所在城市FLINT市,工人群体在遭受通用汽车公司停厂裁员后的疾苦生景,这种朴实的记录带来的社会反响远远超越了对彼时与摩尔仅有萍水一面的GM总裁Roger Smith敲山震虎之效,揭开了以一己之能抗击big corporation的时代帷幕,一个电影的字头就此诞生。
