诺丁山
杰森综述
有人说《诺丁山》是男版“灰姑娘”的童话故事,果然。现实告诉我们:生活中癞蛤蟆(即便是帅到爆的平民美男)是吃不到天鹅肉的,但影视上可以的,这样可以给人们一点希望或安慰,让人幻想或许有朝一日同样能实现这个美梦。
不管如何,电影温馨的情节让人愉悦,美好的结局也总是让人皆大欢喜,正所谓“有情人终成眷属嘛。
故事梗概:
威廉路过集市
威廉·萨克住在伦敦西区的诺丁山,最近离了婚,生活惨淡,与人合租在一起,在当地开了一家生意不太好的旅游书店。男主高大帅气,还有些腼腆。一天,美国女星安娜·斯科特走进了书店闲逛,初次与他相识。之后,男主外出买咖啡,返回时不经意把咖啡撒在了女主衣服上,于是,便邀请她去他的公寓换衣服。从女主刚进书店起,男主就明显被女主的美丽和高贵的气质所吸引,一直语无伦次和絮絮叨叨的……女主临别时给了他一个Kiss,更是让他魂不守舍,并产生了些许幻想。
之后女主约他去饭店找她,去了之后,发现是繁忙的记者会,根本没有时间和机会让两人能够单独约会,只好假扮记者去采访她,弄出了不少笑话,但却让两人的距离拉近了许多。于是,晚上相约去男主妹妹家过生日聚会,女主平易近人,把家庭聚会的气氛搞得很好,虽然一屋子人除了安娜过得都不尽如人意。聚会后的散步更是情调满满,如偷偷潜进已经关闭的公园……之后的一次约会是看电影过后,在饭店用餐,威廉还表演了场“英雄救美”的戏码,因为听不得邻桌的人污蔑安娜,想要维护她的声誉。两人的感情再度升温,当他送她回酒店时,不想遇见了她现在的男友来探访女主,又是尴尬的一幕,于是他又假扮成服务生……之后,他的圈子为他安排了一次相亲。
几个月后,安娜在各大报纸上爆出丑闻,以至于无法在酒店入住,因为有众多八卦记者*扰,于是女主找到男主“借住”,于是一切便水到渠成。由于是合租的,另外一个租客“出卖”了她,让她又一次曝光在八卦记者的镜头下,她很生气,灰溜溜地逃走了……又过了一阵子,女主来伦敦拍戏,威廉知道后,又勾起了他的心绪,忍不住去探班,哪知道又出了妖蛾子,他在耳机中听到女主与戏中男主角有关他的对话(No one/Just some guy from past/It’s a bit of an awkard situation/I don’t know what he’s doing her-e. ),感觉有些无趣和伤感,就默默离开了。
可是第二天,安娜却来到书店解释了这件事,还带来了一幅名画真迹(仿品在男主公寓),并希望威廉能够爱她。但男主认为承受不了“被甩”的伤害,还是没有勇气再次爱她,当场拒绝了她。午后,威廉在朋友圈诉说这个,被大家一顿猛劝,便与大家一起开着小车,冲向记者会现场,又一次以记者的身份提问,要求女主留下来,女主答应了,于是成就了一段爱情佳话。

经典细节/片段/对白
就是女主在片场的对白伤害了男主后,第二天去书店找男主,解释这一切,并希望威廉再次爱她。
William:Anna,look,I'm a fairly level-headed bloke, not often in and out of love. But, can I just say no to your kind request and?
Anna:Yes. Fine. Of course, I, of course, I'll just be going, then. It was nice to see you.
William:The thing is, with you I'm in real danger. It seems like a perfect situation, apart from that foul temper of yours,but my relatively inexperienced heart would,I fear,not recover,if I was once again cast aside, as I would absolutely expect to be. There are just too many pictures of you,too many films. You'd go and I'd be,well,buggered,basically.
Anna:That really is a real no, isn't it?
William:I live in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are. My mother has trouble remembering my name.
在男主拒绝她后,她双眼含泪,说了下面的几句话:
Anna:Fine. Fine. Good decision. Good decision. The fame thing isn't really real, you know. And don't forget I'm--I'm also just a girl,standing in front of a boy,asking him to love her.
前来示爱
音乐
其实我最喜欢的是这个电影的音乐,都是大牌歌星的代表作。个人觉得这个电影成功的背后很大因素是由于这些音乐。
大家可以在QQ音乐中把这些找出来,收藏一下,有空听听这些经典。
猫王《SHE》、(Elvis Presley)
she may be the face I can't forget
a trace of pleasure I regret
may be my treasure or the price I have to pay
she may be the song that Solomon sings
may be the chill that autumn brings
my be a hundred different things
within the measure of a day.
she may be the beauty or the beast
may be the famine or the feast
may turn each day into heaven or a hell
she may be the mirror of my dream
a smile reflected in a stream
she may not be what she may seem
inside as shell
she who always seems so happy in a crowd
whose eyes can be so private and so proud
no one's allowed to see them when they cry
she may be the love that can and hope to last
may come to me from shadows of the past
that I remember till the day I die
she may be the reason I survive
the why and where for I'm alive
the one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years
me I'll take her laughter and her tears
and make them all my souvenirs
for where she goes I got to be
the meaning of my life is
she
or she
结局
罗南·基汀《When You Say Nothing At All》、
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
ut when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may they can never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best.. when you say nothing at all

尼亚吐温《You've Got A Way》、(Shania Twain)
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know...
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

关于地名:
诺丁山,是个地名也是电影片名(如肖申克一样),英文为Notting Hill。那里也是个旅游胜地,在海德公园附近,有以诺丁山门命名的地铁站。其实那里并没有山,只是地势较高而已。历史上,诺丁山是个浪漫的地方,相传在18世纪维多利亚时代,王孙贵族和花花公子们大多混迹于此。20世纪五十年代起,从加勒比海一带国家移民至此落脚,所以这里变成了拉美人聚居区,从1966年起,这里在每年8月的最后一个周末,都会举办一年一度的嘉年华会,第一天为儿童狂欢节,第二天为成人狂欢节。1999年爱情电影《诺丁山》上映后,这里更是名声大噪。波特贝露市场(Portebello Road Martet)、书店值得一逛或打卡(电影中也出现了。)
后记:
据说这个电影是影星麦当娜的真实故事改编的,但麦当娜的现实结局不完美,因为双方的巨大差距,最终分手。
