Mistakes in The Matrix
在去年所有最热门影片当中,除了奥斯卡大赢家《美国美人》外,恐怕就要数科幻惊悚片《矩阵》(Matrix)了。不管是票房,还是苛刻的评论家,都对《矩阵》青眼相加。当我们跟着基努·理维斯在导演设好的“矩阵”中穿梭,体会着高科技在电影中的神奇效果时,是否留意到片中很多穿帮的小镜头呢?来看一看吧,Matrix都在哪些地方露了马脚。

When Trinity runs sideways up the wall in the lobby under massive
gun fire, the marble tiles on the wall move.
marble
tiles:大理石瓷砖。
In the movie, several people die in the 'virtual world' because
they can not get to a hard-wired phone. However, if the world is virtual,
wouldn't all of the phones and phone lines be virtual too? My point is this: if the entire world that they go into is virtual,
there is no such thing as a hard-wired phone. They could just pull people
in and out of the world as they wish. [One contributor said: Actually,
I would argue that they couldn't just pull anybody out of the Matrix anytime
they wanted to. I mean, it's designed to keep people trapped in it forever.
The "hardwired phones" are most likely backdoors the people in
the real world snuck into the Matrix. It would make sense for them to
be few and far between, to keep the Matrix and the Agents from finding
them and eliminating them.
virtual
world:按照“Matrix”中的假设,我们生活的世界实际上是一个“virtual world”虚拟的世界。
hard-wired:“硬件实现的”意思,但这里就是指“有线的电话”,是连通虚拟世界与现实世界的桥梁。
contributor:“捐献者、贡献者”的意思,这里是指投稿者。
snuck:sneak的过去式和过去分词,sneak into就是“溜进、潜入”的意思。
In the scene where Neo and Morpheus spar in the Dojo, Morpheus
misses a strike and comes down hard on the floor leaving a dent in the
wood. When the scene cuts back a minute or so later there is a hole there,
and not a dent.
spar:原义是指拳击手举拳作防御或出拳动作,也泛指“拳击、搏斗”,还可引申为“争论、论辩”。还记得那场Neo学习空手道那场戏吗?不知是否你注意到文中提的细节,莫菲斯原本在木板上压出的凹痕,不知怎的偷梁换柱变成了一个洞。
Dojo:道场,练习柔道、跆拳道等的特定场所。
In the scene with Laurence Fishburne fighting the agent in the
bathroom of the building they were trapped in, the agent punches through
a brick wall, yet next time we see the wall, there is no damage.
Punche:“用拳猛击”的意思。当Neo他们在逃跑中被发现,Laurence
Fishburne为掩护大家而跳出来引开敌人。当他在浴室中与邪恶而力大无比的agent搏斗时,被agent打破的墙壁是什么时候复原的呢?
When Keanu first meets Fishburne, Fishburne extends his right
hand with his other hand behind his back, next shot shows him with his
left hand at his side, and when he withdraws his hand, it is back behind
his back...talk about fast hands!
Fishburne在银幕上和大家玩变魔术的游戏,大家发现了吗?
