電影超體中英文介紹

　　導語:《超體》，又名《露西》，是一部由法國導演呂克·貝松執(zhí)導、好萊塢知名女影星斯嘉麗·約翰遜主演的科幻動作片。該片在中國臺灣臺北取景，綜合美國百老匯影星摩根·弗里曼，韓國知名名演員崔岷植等。影片于2014年7月25日在北美上映。

　　With films such as The Fifth Element (1997) and The Transporter (2002-2008) series under his belt, French director Luc Besson is known for making action thrillers that are visually rich and touch on human nature and the limits of our potential.

　　作為《第五元素》(1997)和《玩命速遞》系列電影(2002-2008)的導演，呂克•貝松以執(zhí)導動作驚悚片而聞名，其影片擁有豐富的視覺效果、探討人性和人類潛力的極限。

　　In Lucy, Besson’s latest sci-fi drama, he takes both action and pseudoscience to the extreme. The film is a combination of action, pop science, and metaphysical musings, and it’s probably Besson’s most entertaining project in years.

　　在新片《超體》中，他更是將動作戲與超自然推向極致。影片結合了動作、大眾科學、以及超自然幻想，堪稱貝松近些年影片中最有趣的一部。

　　Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) is a 25-year-old American student living in Taipei who winds up becoming a drug mule for an evil South Korean drug lord. The gangster is in cahoots with a group of pharmaceutical scientists who have developed a synthetic version of a chemical naturally present in our bodies that boosts brain capacity. When our heroine’s drug haul (which has been sewn into her intestines) bursts, all of her brain’s unused power is suddenly unlocked.

　　片中，斯嘉麗•約翰遜飾演的露西是一個在臺北生活的25歲美國學生，被迫淪為“毒騾”，為邪惡的韓國大毒梟運送毒品。同為黑幫大佬的毒梟還與一群藥劑學家合作，人工合成出人體中促進腦功能的化學物質。一次，女主角體內(縫在腸子里)的毒品包裝破裂，開啟了她大腦中未開發(fā)的能力……

　　So what does this new power allow her to do? Well, the film presents the idea that the human brain only uses 10 percent of its ability. So in Lucy’s case, when the remaining portion of her brain is unlocked, she can control the universe, past and present. It’s that simple, the film maintains.

　　那么，她都擁有哪些新能力?根據影片的理論：人類只用了大腦10%的能力，因此，當露西大腦剩余部分也被開啟時，她將可以操控宇宙，改變過去和現在。影片傳達的信息就是這么簡單!

　　However amusing that idea may sound, what’s more interesting than the power that comes with this new brain capacity is what such a phenomenon would mean for mankind.

　　不論這一想法聽來多么神奇，相比她獲得的大腦超能力，這些超能力對人類的意義似乎更讓人興趣盎然。

　　Johansson definitely carries the weight of the film on her shoulders. After being anything but human in her recent works–an alien (Under the Skin), superhero (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and A.I. (Her); she gets to show what humans could be if we used more than 10 percent of our brains. Steering Lucy from a tearful victim to a calmly logical assassin questioning consciousness, Johansson owns every inch of this wild ride.

　　斯嘉麗在影片中獨挑大梁，演技可圈可點。在出演了一系列“非人類”——《皮囊之下》的外星人、《美國隊長2》中的超級英雄、《她》中的人工智能——之后，她這一次展示了人類使用超過10%的大腦容量時是個什么樣子。從一個哭哭啼啼的受害人，到一個頭腦冷靜、邏輯清晰的殺手，斯嘉麗成功演繹了出巨大跨度中的每一次轉變。

　　Of course, reactions to Lucy will vary greatly — clearly the film will not speak to a wide audience. But if you’re interested in bookish science fiction that often poses more questions than answers, you’ll be rewarded with this thought-provoking film.

　　當然，對《超體》的評價褒貶不一——顯然這部影片并不能迎合所有觀眾。但是，如果你喜歡更多引起思考而非給予答案的科幻小說，那么這部電影也一定能引起你的思考。
