| Mother: Who were you talking to? Sam: I’m talking to you. Mother: Why are you so sweaty and filthy8)? Sam: I’m a child, teenager. Father: We heard voices and noises. We thought maybe... Mother: It doesn’t matter what we thought. What was that light? Sam: What light? There’s no light. You’ve got 2 lights in your hand. You can’t just bounce into my room like that. You got to knock, you got to communicate. Mother: We did, we knocked! Father: We knocked! Sam: You didn’t knock. You were screaming at me. This is repression what you’re doing here. You’re ruining my youth. Mother: Oh for Pete’s sake, you are so defensive. Were you masturbating9)? Father: Judy... Sam: Was I... No mom! I don’t masturbate. Father: That’s not something for you to bring up. That’s a father and son thing. Mother: We don’t have to call it that word if that makes you uncomfortable. You can call it “Sam’s happy time”, or “my special alone time”. Father: Stop, Judy, stop. Mother: I’m sorry. It’s just been a weird night. I had a little bit to drink. 人类元素 与当年的动画片相比，在电影版《变形金刚》中，人类的角色得到了相当的强化，他们不再是不堪一击的纯粹弱者形象，相反还具有相当的反击力量，在战斗中更表现出了非凡的勇气和意志。不论是美军基地幸存下来的战士、美军邀请的民间科学家，还是Sam和Mikaela，都充满了永不放弃的勇气，而这也最终赢得了变形金刚们的尊重。 影片中，擎天柱带领的变形金刚们一来到地球，众汽车人就开始围绕“为什么要帮助人类”的问题展开讨论。 Jazz: Why are we fighting to save the humans? They are a primitive and violent race. Optimus Prime: Were we so different? They’re a young species. They have much to learn. But I’ve seen goodness in them. Freedom is the right of all sentient10) beings. 影片后来，擎天柱和威震天决斗时，人类的地位再次成为辩论的焦点。 Optimus Prime: Megatron! Megatron: Prime! Humans don’t deserve to live. Optimus Prime: They deserve to choose for themselves. Megatron: Then you will die with them! Join them in extinction! 人类的勇气也许最终表现在面对威震天临危不惧、奋不顾身的Sam身上。 Megatron: Is it fear or courage that compels you fleshling11)? Give me the Allspark and you may live to be my pet. Sam: I’m never giving you this Allspark. 面对威震天的淫威，Sam毫不犹豫地从楼顶纵身跳下，幸好擎天柱及时出现才使他幸免于难。而擎天柱也一如我们认识的那个擎天柱一样，表现出了英勇的牺牲精神，要与火种源同归于尽，以免其落入威震天之手。 Opitmus Prime: Sam...You risked your life to protect The Cube. Sam: No sacrifice, no victory. Opitmus Prime: If I cannot defeat Megatron, you must push the Cube into my chest. I will sacrifice myself to destroy it. 擎天柱和威震天的最后决斗，我想大概是所有变形金刚迷都期待已久的场景。 Optimus Prime: It’s you and me, Megatron. Megatron: No, it’s just me, Prime. Optimus Prime: At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall. Megatron: You still fight for the weak. That is why you lose. 而最终，Sam奋力将Allspark放入威震天的胸口，摧毁了威震天，拯救了擎天柱和整个地球。 人性的光辉 好莱坞影片的一大传统就是对于人性光辉的推崇。《变形金刚》一片表现的就是对于权威的反叛。实际上，整个电影的情节就是通过片中人物对权威的挑战来推动的。从影片开头Sam对老师的挑战，到民间科学家对美国军队权威的挑战，再到美军士兵和美国政府的秘密情报部门之间的拔枪对视，整个过程都弱化了美国政府的作用，而更多地表现了大众和人性的力量。而整个国家机器和体制更是始终被描绘成冷酷僵化的反面代表。 从汽车人和霸天虎的变形来看，也可以清晰地看出这种区别。汽车人阵营变形而成的是重型卡车、皮卡和跑车等，这些都是和普通美国人生活息息相关的东西。当擎天柱带领众汽车人在美国西部的旷野中浩浩荡荡地前进，背后响起Linkin Park(林肯公园)的新歌“What I’ve Done”时，所有观众的精神都为之振奋。而霸天虎一方变形而成的警车、战斗机、战斗直升机、装甲车和机器蝎子则全是权力和暴力的象征，象征着邪恶的力量。两者之间的战斗很容易使人联想到反对强权的斗争。 最后，实力明显处于劣势的汽车人在人类的帮助下打败了霸天虎。美军战士的浴血奋战、Mikaela和大黄蜂的并肩奋战等，都体现了以正义和勇气为代表的人性的力量。我想这也正是《变形金刚》在20年后还极具号召力的原因，不仅仅是因为其永恒不变的“正义终将战胜邪恶”的主题，更因为其中所包含的终极科学命题，即生命的价值和种族的未来。 影片最后，汽车人在擎天柱带领下留下来与人类在地球上共同生活。擎天柱也充分肯定和赞扬了人类的伟大精神。 Optimus Prime: With the Allspark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward, a new world to call home. We live among itspeople now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage. And though we are worlds apart, like us, there’s more to them than meets the eye. ... Optimus Prime: I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting... 擎天柱在waiting，我们也在waiting，等待更加精彩的《变形金刚》续集。 汽车人，变形出发！   |
