當年的Colin Firth

恭喜晒Colin Firth憑《皇上無話兒》(The King’s Speech) 奪得奧斯卡最佳男主角,非常期待入戲院睇呀,快快到星期四啦!

講起Colin Firth,相信不少香港觀眾都是從《BJ單身日記》開始認識佢,繼而由《Love Actually》正式like佢,再去到舊年的《A Single Man》就直情迷上添啦。

其實今年50歲的Colin Firth,早於80年代初已踏入影圈,影齡超過25年。而其首部大銀幕作品更是一齣話題作,以同性戀為題材的《同窗之戀》(Another Country)。跟他合演同窗的是Rupert Everett (在My Best Friend’s Wedding飾演茱姐gay friend的那一位)。

《同窗之戀》改編自Julian Mitchell所撰寫的同名舞台劇,81年首次被搬上舞台,84年再被拍成電影。電影講述1930年代在英國一所寄宿學校所發生的一段同性戀關係。80年代初期,同性戀仍是很敏感很地下的一個話題,所以電影在上影時曾掀起一陣熱烈討論。

相信敝blog的大部份讀者在84年的時候都是未出世又或者得3幾歲,應該無睇過這齣戲啦掛。但實不相瞞,我當年是在戲院看《同窗之戀》的,但因為年紀實在太細,對戲中的情節及對白都不太了解,所以現在回想起來印象是挺模糊的。

喂呀,有無網友有睇過啫?!?!

等我去買返隻DVD先

Yes I did.

"Another Country" was based on a play in England, which itself was loosely based on Guy Burgess, one of the notorious Cambridge Five spy ring that worked for the Soviet Union during Cold War. The major attraction of "Another Country" in England is the scandal hehind the Cambridge Five. However, outside of England few people know about them, so "Another Country" became just a gay movie. As a result, neither Rupert Everett nor Colin Firth made much of a dent in America, instead American remember the most from the movie is Cary Elwes, Everett's object of desire in the movie. And Elwes was the first to make a name in Hollywood with the cult comedy "The Princess Bride" in 1987, nearly ten long years before Colin Firth made his breakthrough with "Pride and Prejudice" in 1995 and Rupert Everett with "My Best Friend's Wedding" in 1997

I've seen it too in theater and was totally in love with Rupert Everett back then. Saw it twice actually, both times with female classmates. Looking back, I think i was just trying to come out to them but did not dare to say it in words.

I love Colin Firth too! I blame Mr. Darcy as such a perfect man that almost cannot be found in reality. I am also searching for DVD of "Another Country", do you know where can we find them in HK?
