捷克动画历史上最值得推崇的作品之一,它混合了造型独特的木偶、华丽的油画和老鼠活动的真实影像。 电影是一个德国中世纪传说的现代版本,讲的是一个捕鼠者惩罚罪恶无耻的Hamelin小镇的故事。吹笛人满足了小镇的愿望,为他们消除了鼠灾,但居民们整天只知道谋取不义之财,他们拒绝向他支付报酬。他们比老鼠更贪婪,吹笛人把他们也和老鼠一样对待。 其实,对于动画片,故事情节经常处于次要地位。《吹笛子的男人》最出色的地方显然不是故事本身,而是那些充满张力线条的歌特风格的人和物的造型,以及城镇和田园的背景刻划。它们以扭曲的轮廓和夸张的变化渲染了那种既突兀又冷漠的氛围。金属色泽的浮雕不仅让人感到冷酷灰暗,也使得造型更为清晰坚决,形象鲜明。
看《吹笛子的男人》之前,我看过的国内比较有知名度的捷克动画除了《鼹鼠的故事》外,其余的大部分是「杨·史云梅耶」的作品。—— The Pied Piper of Hamelin is the titular character of a legend from the town of Hamelin (Hameln), Lower Saxony, Germany, as well as the title of the fairy tale that depicts the character. The legend dates back to the Middle Ages, the earliest references describing a piper, dressed in multicolored ("pied") clothing, who was a rat-catcher hired by the town to lure rats away with his magic pipe. When the citizens refuse to pay for this service, he retaliates by using his instrument's magical power on their children, leading them away as he had the rats. ……
故事是旧的,但看着很有意思。能抓住注意力。
捷克式画风,人物形象和丑恶嘴脸的塑造非常独到。贪婪必将走向毁灭
