铁血护宝

《沉没之岛》影片一开始，观眾便跟随导演的旁白，一边反省台湾的水患风灾，一边走访位於遥远南太平洋上、五十年后将要沉没的小小岛国「吐瓦鲁」。黄信尧坦言，当初看了太多「救救吐瓦鲁！」的资讯和媒体报导，以為吐瓦鲁是一个很妻惨的国家，但去到当地之后，才发现并不是想像中的那麼一回事。这个矛盾、充满衝突和自省的过程在影片中展露无遗，镜头在台湾、吐瓦鲁两地之间来回跳跃，碰撞出许多迷人且丰富的意义，也透过导演亲口述说的台语旁白，產生一种切身的说服力，而透过吐瓦鲁这面借镜所看见的台湾，则显得更加燥热难耐、伤痕累累。此外，影片更少见地触及纪录片工作者的姿态与位置，在风光明媚的风景、动人欢愉的歌声之外，又带领观眾进入更深一层的省思。

某个下雨的日子，经营宠物医院的张文浩（李善均 饰）带着还有一个月就要与之共赴婚姻殿堂的姜善瑛（金敏喜 饰）前往老家看望父母。途中文浩下车购物，而善瑛在接了一通电话之后便从男友身边神秘失踪。焦急的文浩四处寻找，结果却发现一桩桩令他难以置信的事实。善瑛曾于2007年债台高筑宣布破产，而当年的照片与他失踪的未婚妻竟完全是两个人。这个失踪的女人真身为何？她的背后又隐藏怎样的秘密和故事呢？本片根据日本作家宫部美雪的同名原著改编，“火车”来自佛教用语，指载着作恶亡灵前往地狱的冒火的车子。《观无量寿经》云：“人以恶应堕恶道，命欲终时，地狱众火俱至，必有火车来迎。”

Deserves recognition as an interesting misunderstanding of the hallucination generation, 20 January 2007Author: TimothyFarrell from Worcester, MA"Wild in the Streets" comes from the same school of film making that spawned other attempts to connect to the counterculture such as "Skidoo" and "Candy". The difference between this and the aforementioned films is that "Wild in the Streets" is reasonably clever and well-made. It isn't sympathetic to the counterculture and will likely offend those with fond memories of the time. Surprisingly, it was a big hit when released and appealed to the youth whom it ridiculed so much. Unlike "The Trip" and "Psych-Out" (two other AIP films), its not an accurate representation of the movement at all. However it does work as social satire.The direction by Barry Shear is good and makes innovative use of split screen photography. Plus, he keeps everything moving at a quick pace. In its funny moments, the film works well. In its attempts at drama, its helplessly dated and just as funny as the humorous moments. Christopher Jones underplays his role and Shelly Winters overacts. Hal Holbrook offers the best performance and Diane Varsi achieves the right note of "grooviness". The script by Robert Thom has its moments, especially the ending (easily the most ingenious part of the film). "Wild in the Streets" isn't perfect, but deserves recognition as an interesting misunderstanding of the hallucination generation. Those into this kind of kitsch will enjoy it the most. I'd rather watch "The Trip" or "Psych-Out" however. (6/10)-from imdb
