月球旅行记A Trip to the Moon

剧情简介Synopsis

《月球旅行记》（法语：Le Voyage dans la Lune，[lə vwajaʒ dɑ̃ la lyn]，直译为“去往月球的旅程”，英语：A Trip to the Moon）是1902年上映的法国科幻冒险特技电影，由乔治·梅里爱编剧、执导并制作。该片灵感源自法国科幻作家儒勒·凡尔纳的小说《从地球到月球》（1865年）及其续集《环绕月球》（1870年），讲述了一群天文学家乘坐加农炮发射的太空舱前往月球、探索月球表面、从地下月球人（Selenites，月球居民）族群中逃脱，并带着一名被俘月球人返回地球的故事。梅里爱带领一众法国戏剧演员出演，他本人饰演主角巴本福伊教授（Professor Barbenfouillis）。本片的特点在于采用了让梅里爱声名远扬的戏剧化影像风格。 电影研究者们指出该片大量运用了荒诞哲学与反帝国主义讽刺手法，对后世电影创作者产生广泛影响，并强调了传统法国戏剧中梦幻剧元素的艺术价值。影片上映时风靡全球，尤其在美国催生了大量盗版复制品。梅里爱退出影坛后作品一度被遗忘，直至1930年前后电影史界重新评价其贡献时才重获关注。此外，影片的手工上色彩色拷贝曾一度被认为失传，但在1993年再度被发现，并于2011年完成全面修复。 这部影片以当时电影界超常的片长、高昂的制作成本、革新性的特效技术以及叙事手法的重要性，对其他电影创作者产生了深远影响，有力推动了叙事电影的整体发展。该作品作为梅里爱的代表性创作，其中描绘着人脸的月球表面被宇宙飞船击中眼睛的瞬间，已成为电影史上最具象征意义且被频繁引用的镜头之一。本片被公认为科幻电影类型的开山之作，并跻身电影史上最具影响力的作品之列。A Trip to the Moon (French: Le Voyage dans la Lune [lə vwajaʒ dɑ̃ la lyn], transl. "The Journey into the Moon") is a 1902 French science-fiction adventure trick film written, directed and produced by Georges Méliès. Inspired by the Jules Verne novel From the Earth to the Moon (1865) and its sequel Around the Moon (1870), the film follows a group of astronomers who travel to the Moon in a cannon-propelled capsule, explore the Moon's surface, escape from an underground group of Selenites (lunar inhabitants), and return to Earth with a captive Selenite. Méliès leads an ensemble cast of French theatrical performers as the main character Professor Barbenfouillis. Although the film disappeared into obscurity after Méliès's retirement from the film industry, it was rediscovered around 1930, when Méliès's importance to the history of cinema was beginning to be recognised by film devotees. An original hand-colored print was discovered in 1993, and restored in 2011. A Trip to the Moon was ranked 84th among the 100 greatest films of the 20th century by The Village Voice. The film remains Méliès' best-known, and the moment when the capsule lands (in the moon's eye) remains one of the most iconic, and frequently referenced, images in the history of cinema.
