    剽悍的比尔

    比尔·普莱姆顿(Bill Plympton),1946年生于美国波特兰。独立动画导演,作品风格生猛、剽悍、粗暴、直接,想象丰富怪异,偏好黑色幽默。作品常含恶搞元素,挑战观众忍耐极限。画面风格一贯是有些潦草的彩色铅笔素描,背景空白或者粗略勾画,动画人物常常作出极度夸张的动作,令人不安。为避免外界对于作品的干扰,经济上独立,不依靠外来资金。所以,作品画面比较粗糙,不能尽善尽美。早期作品1987年的短片《你的脸》(Your Face),获得当年奥斯卡提名。短片作品很多,重要长片作品有《校园往事》(Hair High)2004、《嫁给一个怪人》(I Married a Strange Person)1997等。

    美国除了超级工业流水线迪斯尼,还有一个异类-比尔。这有些像日本:除了铺天盖地的或唯美、或暴力、或色情的千篇一律的视觉系动画产品,还有一个异类-山村浩二。即使有团队的支持,个人主导来创作艺术类动画长片还是非常困难的。但比尔竟然出了好几部,而且上面提到的两部长片可以称得上是很不错的作品-这几乎不可能。即使只由比尔来完成其中关键帧的创作,工作量也非常惊人。比尔的脑力多么旺盛,体力又怎样了得!我想给他起个外号-动画小超人。说实话,比尔最开始的作品-Your Face,并不怎样。人脸变来变去,其实毫无意义;但是可能很好玩儿,或者让人感觉不适。但是,从这里可以看出,比尔对动画的自由自在理解得挺深刻,而这就是动画的秘密机关。

    比尔的幽默可以作为美式幽默的一个代表,也许有人会说,这过于粗鲁,缺乏教养,但它自有它的魅力:不闷,爆炸式,酣畅淋漓,很坏,简直坏透了... 这些在动画里当然可以,动画不同于现实生活。比尔的动画很好玩儿,但也含有相当多的恶趣味和黑色成分。因此,绝对不适合儿童观看,而且也不适合所有成年人。鉴于此,观看之前请谨慎考虑。比尔最满意自己的作品-Hair High,但最新长片《白痴与天使》(Idiots and Angels)有意与此作出区别,试图超越,从明快的色调转变到阴暗的灰色调,从有对话到无对话,只有音乐。难道是一部大闷片?拭目以待吧...

    不错的片子,就是结尾太皆大欢喜了,跟他以往的东西没什么太大变化。电影节上看见本人了,面面的说话很温柔的大个子男人。
