优雅的世界

韩国电影比较写实，总是不经意的道尽一个男人的心酸。

如本片里的男主角，无论他多么努力想做一个正常的，完美的男人，但还是陷入孤立的境地。

这个世道就是如此。

中年人的优雅就是孤立且坚强的生活在纷扰的世界中。

男主角很普通但也很特别。

他和其他中年男性一样坎坷：事业局面难以打开，甚至被同事暗算，家里人不理解他，和妻子、儿女产生无法逆转的隔阂。

尽管他力争上游，却还是到处碰壁，稍微有点成绩和远景，糟糕的生活又把他往下拉扯，使得他不见天日。

甚至在他服输时，老天爷还不放过他，欲将他置于死地。

那他特别在哪里呢：首先他是老资历的黑道分子，干的是黑吃黑的勾当，有自己的处世原则，莽撞而坚韧，对家人充满柔情，对帮助过他的人非常忠义。

最后这份忠义几乎要了他的命。

影片结尾，男主角孤身一人，等带他的依然是空洞的黑暗。

看到仁九和贤洙在互相泼水那点桥段时，以为他俩是那种平时小打小闹，关键时刻不离不弃的兄弟，嗯，正是自己喜欢的样子。

但知道贤洙在仁九做手术卖了房子找旅馆住时躲了一个月时，有种说不出的失望。

但或许这才是最真实的吧。

后来贤洙也没有立马帮助仁九的妻子，而是仁九答应在他那边干活了才给了一大笔钱。

田笑，以后，如果他们几个来找你，在你因为各种难以启齿的困难无法伸出援手时，请回来看看这段话，然后咬咬牙，帮帮他。

去年《看电影》评选过一套“百佳韩国电影”，前十部我看过七部，对于韩国的顶级电影也算有大致的了解，窃以为一年后的今天如果重排这个榜单，《优雅的世界》应该能进前十。

《优雅的世界》可能不及《杀人回忆》和《老男孩》，但基本上能与《朋友》并驾齐驱，宋康昊和吴达洙两个人的友谊虽然着墨不多，但显然胜过《朋友》中张东健和刘五性的洋洋洒洒。

而且《优雅的世界》绝对比《八月照相馆》和《死不张扬离奇失魂事件》出色。

当然，至少在我的观影经验中是这样的。

我判断一部电影是否优秀的唯一标准就是它有没有吸引力让我一气呵成地看完，《八月照相馆》和《死不张扬离奇失魂事件》显然不行。

《优雅的世界》讲的无非还是人在江湖身不由己，题材陈旧，故事缓慢，但张力十足，这其中宋康昊要占一半功劳。

整张海报就是宋康昊的一张大脸，整部电影也像是他的独角戏。

实在纳闷，这个肥头大耳的老大叔怎么总是让人充满惊喜？

硕大的电视播放的妻儿在加拿大的家庭录像在画面正中间，仁九自己在画面的角落里孤独的收拾着地板……不错，眼前一亮

这个片子叫做《优雅的世界》实在是一个反讽。

看之前一直以为是一个很文艺的片子，其实算一个既不生活、也不黑帮的黑帮分子生活片。

海报做成宋康昊的大特写，带着典型的韩国混蛋表情，明摆着主打影帝牌。

不过，牌打的不错，影帝永远不会让人失望。

一张肉饼脸五味杂陈，变化万千，仿佛人间的所有酸甜苦辣全在这张脸上。

只是这个混蛋不是彻底的混蛋。

出去混要在大哥面前低了眼眉，回到家要面对妻儿的冷脸，还要忍受大哥的混蛋弟弟的欺负。

所谓人人有本难念的经，这种中年男人的挣扎、无奈、隐忍，凄凉，最是宋康昊的拿手好戏。

一次是在跟发小谈起对大哥的感情，一次是在空阔的豪宅里吃着泡面看妻儿的生活录像，抬头低头间，那表情让人忍不住对这个既不帅、也不酷的半老男人充满同情，甚至心疼。

看惯了韩国电影的生猛和残酷，这个结尾还算挺让人释怀的，除了有些心酸，有些凄凉，但是能有这样的结局已经谢天谢地了。

感觉韩国是盛产混蛋的国家，耻点比较低。

所以也只是在韩国电影中，姜仁九杀了自己的老大还能好好活着，还能为妻儿创造优越的生活。

但是，这优越的生活，与他无关。

看他落寞的在豪宅里吃泡面、洗衣服，就知道，这些都不是他想要的。

优雅的生活在哪里呢？

看完以后，想了很多，一落笔，就辞不达意。

“告诉我这个怎么回事？

脱衣舞夜总会打折券？

你疯了么？

”“事情是......我当时没那么多现金，所以就加了这个.....”“没有家长会送老师脱衣舞打折券，你这个疯子！

”韩片看多了，爆粗口都想说“阿西吧！

” 我们这一代人可以说是成长在港片盛行的时代，而我们对于黑帮片的最初印象也离不了古惑仔和小马哥。

无论是枪火和白鸽演奏的暴力美学，还是浩南与山鸡引领的“洪兴一代”都离不了一个字“义”，换了再多故事讲的也还是：利益 坚守 背叛 兄弟。

女人永远是花瓶，或者是兄弟反目的理由，或者是主角涅槃前怀里的尸体，或者是引诱小弟背叛老大的借口。

黑帮的本质属性决定了这注定不是女人的世界。

耳濡目染下，现在我回想起最初对黑帮片的记忆，印象最深的还是那两个画面：前者是小马哥戏谑的用美元点燃嘴上叼着的烟，后者是古惑仔第一部开头，众兄弟砸了敌人场子，相拥而跃。

其实，这两个画面也代表了我们对黑帮最“美好”的两个奢望：锦衣怒马 兄弟情谊。

之所以说是奢望，因为他注定不会成为现实。

我们看了太多了小弟逆袭大佬，痞子终成大佬，可是却没注意过，在这条路上，有多少路人甲被主角秒杀，然后躺在地上一动不动，等导演喊“卡，过”才敢揉揉酸痛的腰站起来。

这就是一个路人甲的故事，或者说是高级版的路人甲，毕竟入行数十年了，哪怕靠资历也熬到了中层干部。

大饼脸大叔几乎没让我失望过，一个身材发福，整天被工作与家庭纠缠不清，陷入中年危机的角色被他拿捏的签到好处。

被走后门的老板亲戚欺压，整天奔波于各个应酬之间，陷入老婆更年期，女儿青春期的深渊，除了工作内容外，他几乎和任何一个步入中年的男人没有任何区别。

整个故事可以说都是靠大饼脸大叔一个人撑起来的，而号称巨资打造的飞车场面则更像是一个笑话。

韩国人似乎特别喜欢这种以”小人物来看大世界“的题材，我们也尝试过，但要么小人物逆袭成了大人物，要么小人物得到了大人物的垂青，一步登天。

我们的社会性总是在不知不觉中影响我们，“向上爬”成了永恒的主题。

我并不是说大人物，大场面，大设定有多不好，我只是觉得传奇，史诗终究是只是少数人的故事，不是所有人都能打起“替天行道”的旗子啸聚山林，或者靠一个猴子 一头猪 一个莽汉修得正果的。

更多人的只能做一个被“替天行道”的老百姓，或者一个被一棒打死的小妖罢了。

就像故事中的仁九，整日奔波，只为了也只能换了一个温饱而已。

甚至连这个温饱都换不来。

仁九就像一条被鱼群裹挟着的小鱼，多年的打熬换来了可有可无的资历与熟稔的生存技巧，也磨掉了心头最后一滴“热血”，剩下的只有无奈与无力。

相伴多年的妻子要离婚，最后也只能呢喃一句：“你不能这样对我”；自己一直言听计从的老大要杀自己，被逼开枪后也只会无力的说一句“我都说了，人不是我杀的.........”我始终认为，韩片最大魅力就在于对人情绪的把控，无论是讲故事的，还是听故事的，情绪的渲染力都做到了极尽完美。

简单来说，就是他们总能在你最容易流泪的时候，让你流泪。

就像结尾处的仁九，看着家人从异国他乡寄来的录像带，吃着泡面，看着看着，你就那么哭了。

不知道为什么就是喜欢大饼脸宋大叔，一个笑的时候你忍不住想去揉揉他的肚子，哭的时候忍不住拍拍他的肩膀的人。

“我都说了，我只是去买烟的.......”

《优雅的世界》：粗糙的彩虹文/四月物语彩虹是一种光学现象，当阳光照射到半空中的水滴，光线被折射和反射，在天空中形成拱形的七彩光谱。

本片的主人公姜仁九就是一个渴望在生活中绘出绚丽彩虹的黑社会小头目，可惜生存的险恶远远超越了他所能及的范围。

姜仁九最终迷失在暴力的彩虹之下，他满心疲惫只为了妻儿的幸福，虽有说不出的苦闷仍然心甘情愿。

影片的主角除宋康昊这个韩国国宝级戏骨外，还有曾出演《老男孩》、《淫乱书生》、《哭泣的拳头》和《殴打诱发者》的个性演员吴达洙，女主角则是入行18年来首入大银幕的朴智英。

加上剧情本身对人物冲突的构建较少，全片几乎成为宋康昊的个人秀，他细致地刻画出男主人公身不由己的社会身份和多重的情感世界，把平淡老套的故事折射出不平凡的光芒。

宋康昊在表演上抛弃了在《杀人回忆》中的粗砺豪放，有些像《孝子洞理发师》里的大智若愚。

在动作设计上，这名黑社会成员也显出中年男子的臃肿迟缓，身手不甚敏捷以至总会挂彩。

其他两位主演的戏份仅仅算是陪衬而已，这样看来，缓慢甚至有些压抑的剧情确实是另有玄机。

如同大卫·芬奇的《十二宫》一样，如果不细细品来，是觉得不到那丝甘甜的。

谁又不想看到如李秉宪一样在《甜蜜的生活》里凌厉的身手，或者如申河均一样在《没教养的家伙》里优雅呢。

姜仁九这个角色的设定是对宋康昊演技的一大考验，可以看到他对自己表演达到了一种收放自如的境界，既不会充愣到做作，也不会嚣张到过火，不温不火的演出相信是每一位演员梦想的高度。

影片中银发的大哥角色也颇像《甜蜜的生活》中背信弃义的大佬，只是在众多绿叶中充当了每一个无足轻重的一片。

说人物上有些失衡，确有此感，但如果沉浸在姜仁九的内心世界与其一同呼吸，便不会在意。

姜仁九渴望平实的生活，但现实身份却又是黑社会，难免在家人和工作上产生冲突。

在对手苦苦相逼的境地下，他也曾想过退出，就像所有的好念头都有曲折一样，姜仁九还是棋差一着被命运摆了一道，于是最后的选择就情非得已而又无法拒绝了。

宣传上喊出韩国电影史上最大规模的汽车追逐戏，看起来也不过尔尔，对于后《变形金刚》的观众来说，几辆豪华轿车的热吻已经满足不了视觉需求。

除此之外，另一“听点”，就是菅野洋子为影片打造的电影配乐。

配乐在影片中起到了少量的推动作用，使观众更容易理解姜仁九的内心。

尤其是他带领手下与建筑队工人厮打起来的场景，面对一辆庞大的推土机夹着滚滚黄土气势汹汹，姜仁九的耳边紧凑的节奏竟变成了欢快的旋律，现实里一切的无奈和争斗都是妻儿享受的保障，是他的生存动力。

但影片的大多数时间里，菅野洋子的音乐只灵光一现在几处强硬的渲染黑色电影氛围的场景中，却与宋康昊饰演的姜仁九失去了互动性。

于是音乐就只是场景转换的润滑剂，而不是能更好衬托出表演的推动力。

当姜仁九偶然看到女儿在日记上对自己的埋怨和诅咒时，伤心得想自杀，他是多么地爱女儿、妻子和远在加拿大的儿子啊。

谁又能理解他呢，带他入行的大哥护着自己的亲弟弟；妻子受不了担惊受怕的生活跟女儿远赴加拿大。

还好有了女儿后来的谅解，有老兄弟的辅助和手下的忠诚，姜仁九才能熬过这最苦痛的生活，当心中的彩虹显现在加拿大的天空，坐在豪宅里却独自吃着泡面的姜仁九心酸得流下了眼泪，这一幕好像《杀人回忆》片尾中意味悠长的特写。

只不过《杀人回忆》留下了未尽的疑问和历史厚重感，而姜仁九只留下了一个平凡父亲的高大身影和可以触动普通人生活里的点点滴滴。

《优雅的世界》如果没有了宋康昊，应该会埋没在近年来无数激不起口水来谈论的韩国片里吧。

看多了韩国电影，是无论如何也饶不过宋康昊这个名字的。

在那些代表着韩国电影最高峰的影片中，多半会邂逅这张无论如何也琢磨不出特色，却无论如何也会让人印象深刻的——借用前面高人们的话——肉饼脸。

98年《死不张扬离奇杀人事件》里那个有点傻的哥哥；99年的《生死谍变》；2000年《JSA共同警备区》那个北朝鲜军官；02年《我要复仇》里那个因失去女儿而变得丧心病狂的父亲；03年《杀人回忆》里的地方小警察；04年的《孝子洞理发师》里唯唯诺诺的小理发师；还有之后的《亲切的金子》、《怪物》、《密阳》等等；他参与出演的这些片子都是可以在韩国电影史上被浓墨重彩地大书特书的。

无疑，宋康昊是属于那种老戏骨,能够调动身体里的每一个细胞来诠释角色，他演了谁，他就是谁，甚至连他周围的空气都充满了角色的张力。

无论是再小的人物，一旦被他附了体，也会散发出一股舍我其谁的气度来。

他是演绎小人物的天皇巨星，各色小人物的猥琐而不失良善，卑微而不失自尊，憨直而不失狡黠，懦弱而又不失刚硬，小小的喜悦，极度的悲情，都被他演绎得丝丝入扣，他赋予所有这些小人物以人性的厚重，却又绝不雷同。

虽然是演绎同样的小人物，他的戏路却可以宽广地如飞机跑道一般。

之前的那些片子中，都还有足以与他的表演相匹敌的东西，或者说无论从剧情，内涵，导演功力或是其它演员的表演等等都比较强，但到了《优雅的世界》，终于成了宋康昊一个人的交响乐。

平心而论，在《优雅的世界》里，宋的表演虽说撑足了门面，但对他个人而言，也只是水准之上，算不得有所突破。

象这样一个混迹电影江湖多年的老戏骨，这种程度，应该不能给熟悉他的观众带来多少惊喜吧。

《优雅的世界》是一部讲述人到中年的电影，遗憾的是，编导借用黑帮片的套路，隐喻的动机不明显，黑色幽默的意图也失败了。

影片从头至尾，不可逆转地滑进类型片的深渊，而失去了中年危机的典型性描述。

姜仁九是个人过四张的黑帮份子，身手不再敏捷，出手总是自己先挂了彩。

上有老大压着，身旁有老大的亲兄弟仗势与之明争暗斗，这种状况在普通人身上叫做遭遇事业的瓶颈。

事业是够让人一筹莫展的，家里也是同样鸡犬不宁，老婆摆出一副貌合神离的架势，天天以离婚相要胁；女儿进入青春期，对这个丢脸的混混老爹恨得咬牙切齿；既想要支付儿子在加拿大求学的费用，又想当一个合格的老公，老爸，让妻子儿女过上江南（汉城的高尚住宅区）的优雅生活。

他想金盆洗手，退出这个充满纷争的黑社会，可阴错阳差，他却越陷越深……是啊，黑社会也好，白社会也罢，岂是你想来就来，想走就走的，哪个人不是身不由已呢？

最后的结局就是老婆孩子都到了加拿大，用他挣来的肮脏的血汗钱，在优雅的世界里，过起了优雅的生活。

而姜仁九呢，他的优雅的世界就只是在空旷的豪宅里，端着一碗泡面，看大屏幕上老婆孩子们的笑脸，然后哭得老泪纵横……。

其实，只有到了最后一个场景，全部的讽刺，全部的黑色幽默才被一古股地释放了出来。

而之前，编导则过多地铺陈了这个中年男人在黑社会中的尴尬与挣扎，他的妻儿的虚荣与虚伪，现实与功利却被忽略了。

这更象是一部失去了重心的作品，本可以更多些批判现实主义的，本可以具备更深刻的挖掘潜力的。

可惜，一部并不成熟的作品——《优雅的世界》，最终成就了宋康昊一个人的交响乐。

冲着宋康昊去的，因为他塑造了许多经典角色。

但是这部影片算得上是他的一部烂片了，至少我这么看。

从影片的名字和剧情可以看出导演很努力地想做一部不一样的黑帮片，但是不怎么成功。

不过影片也印证了“进黑帮易，出黑帮难”或“做坏人易，做好人难”的俗话。

黑社会中的恩恩怨怨想要完全摆脱做一个普通人是多么不易，恐怕唯一的办法就是把黑帮老板杀死吧。
