1988年版經(jīng)典影片《百萬(wàn)金臂》簡(jiǎn)介
A blend of comedy, drama and romance, Bull Durham follows the intertwining of three lives brought together by the great American pastime. Crash Davis (Kevin Costner, showcasing his Midwestern charm) is a perennial Minor Leaguer assigned to the Durham Bulls, a hapless team with a long tradition of mediocrity. There he tutors a young, dim-witted pitching prodigy, Nuke LaLoosh (Tim Robbins) in the ways of baseball, life, and love. Each strikes up a romance with Annie (Susan Sarandon), the team's "mascot" who takes it upon herself to sleep with a new player every season. Each has his/her own conflict: Crash struggles to end his career with some measure of dignity; Nuke struggles to make it to the "big show"; and Annie struggles to find something more than a roll in the hay -- and of course, Crash and Nuke come into conflict over Annie's affections to further complicate matters. The film treats the sport of baseball with a sort of casual reverence, highlighting both the drama and the humor inherent in the game, illustrated by Annie's numerous references to baseball as "her religion."
這是一部幽默風(fēng)趣、半寫(xiě)實(shí)主義的影片。在所有描寫(xiě)棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)的體育片中,此片可謂是佼佼者。片中出色的比賽場(chǎng)面,足以令任何體育報(bào)道黯然失色。 凱文·柯斯特納(Kevin Costner)扮演主人公克拉什(Crash)。他年屆三十,只是一家小球隊(duì)的投手。作為一名職業(yè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員,克拉什早已告別了棒球生涯的巔峰時(shí)代,之所以還在從事這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng),完全是出于對(duì)它的熱愛(ài)。因?yàn)閷?duì)于他來(lái)說(shuō),棒球是生活的全部意義所在。紐克·拉盧什(Nuke Laloosh)(由蒂姆·羅賓斯Tim Robbins飾)的出現(xiàn)打破了他平靜的生活。紐克是一名極具潛力的投手,但卻有著諸多怪癖。每次上場(chǎng),他都要穿著女友的內(nèi)衣,否則就無(wú)法全力以赴地參加比賽。在克拉什的細(xì)心調(diào)教下,紐克的技術(shù)一天天地提高??蓛扇藚s同時(shí)愛(ài)上了一個(gè)熱情奔放的姑娘。它也是個(gè)準(zhǔn)棒球迷(由蘇珊·薩蘭登Susan Sarandon 飾)。
