To the dismay of thechurch's boy warden, e,and the dozen or soadolescent girl students in hiscare, Miller turns out to be agenially lazy opportunist whoimmediately plunders munion wine supply. 贝尔饰演的殡葬师约翰米勒穿梭在遭受炮火轰炸满目疮痍的南京城,去一家天主教堂出席一位牧师的葬礼。但是他懒惰成性盲目乐观,每天只会粗鲁酗酒,让教堂看门男孩乔治和在教堂里避难的女学生们深感失望。 Zhang entertainingly tracks thetensions among this strangegathering of individuals, evenstaging a near-catfightbetween the indignant studentsand their diva-like guests. Butthe es to an endwhen Japanese troops invadethe church and, not realizingthere are courtesans hiding inthe vicinity, try to forcethemselves on the students --a sickening scene marked bythe girls' screams and thesounds of clothing beingripped, all whipped into afrenzy of terror. 张艺谋颇具娱乐性地处理了这些奇怪个体之间的紧张关系,甚至展现了愤怒女学生和尤物宾客之间的激烈争吵。日本军队侵入教堂,他们没有发现避难人群中有妓女,而是企图逼迫女学生。这是一幕让人毛骨悚然的场景:女学生的尖叫声,衣物被撕裂的声音,都营造了恐怖的气氛。 Scene by scene, "The Flowersof War" is an erratic andungainly piece of storytelling,full of melodramatic twists andgrotesque visual excesses,which are helessdelivered with startlingconviction. Zhang has nointerest in sparing the view
