話說我看《Raise Your Voice》之前，就已经知道这是好莱坞年产N部的成长励志的青春偶像的浪漫爱情的轻松喜剧的——音乐电影，不过还是看了，因为无所事事。毕业当晚偷跑出去看演唱会的兄妹遭遇车祸，哥哥身亡而女孩Terri失去唱歌的快乐。当洛杉矶表演艺术学校的暑期课程录取通知书收到后，Terri背负对哥哥死亡的自责 欺骗父母的忐忑和母亲姑母的爱独身来的洛杉矶。当然不是一件容易的事情，没有朋友的孤单 严格而紧凑的课程 各怀心事的同学们 情窦初开的不安 无法摆脱的阴影 隐瞒父亲的手忙脚乱 陌生的环境和生活方式……好吧我承认这个片子铺垫特多。不过，当她第一次在声乐课上以自己的方式赢得满堂喝彩，第一次对拒人千里的室友坦白心声，第一次看着那个男孩的眼神没有闪躲，后面的事情仿佛顺理成章。我真是喜欢那些热爱音乐的孩子。深情的创作才子Jay 热烈的打击乐小子Kiwi 冷傲的钢琴美人Sloane 积极的小提琴黑珍珠Denise，甚至半反派的自负女主唱Robin。个性鲜明而不造作，行事率直而不莽撞。或许不是谁都想得到奖学金，但是他们都渴望全世界听到自己的声音。（会不会太煽情）我也喜欢那些明亮温暖的场景。小广场般的阶梯门口，典雅光亮的小教室，各有其主的练习室（我不明白为什么男女主角可以在礼堂练习），有烟花小丑的喷泉街口，自由演出的格调酒吧……最重要的，那个可以吹夜风看日出谈谈情跳跳舞的宿舍天台。我也喜欢看那些孩子的小小纠结和烦恼。Kiwi总是想方设法弄出声响却难以引起Sloane的回应，Denise家境贫穷却需要金钱支撑梦想，Sloane鼓起勇气却懊恼华贵的礼服在逛街便装中的突兀，Robin自信爆棚却发现老师的青睐Jay的爱情都转移到了Terri身上，Jay喜欢上Terri却难以摆脱Robin的纠缠……当然还有我们的Terri，学业的压力 爱情的无助 哥哥的死亡 车灯的阴影 至亲的阻挠 老师的期待 朋友的烦恼……好了我坦白我就是八卦，最喜欢三角恋之后Terri和Jay心烦意乱的样子。老套就老套，真是养眼，男女声的分别独唱真是贴切而动人……当然我最喜欢HAPPY ENDING。历经千辛万苦（？）之后，钢琴乐和打击乐响起爱情的合奏曲，骄傲的天鹅重新得到众人的掌声，固执的父亲放下偏见，破镜重圆的爱情创作出惊人的杰作，灯光的刺眼再不能阻挡舞台的歌声，奖学金颁给最需要的人，老师欣慰于才华横溢的学生……亲情 友情 爱情大丰收，音乐必定会被坚持下去。电影原声我尤其推崇。作为青春音乐剧，创造者可谓尽职尽责。摇滚 爵士 流行 古典悉数登场。张扬而不浮躁，动听而不俗套，很难说我最喜欢哪首。像我这样的门外汉，只能说电影的音乐让我没有遗憾。我无聊到看完冗长的字幕，看到这句话：For NANCY E.McNAMARA(The music of my life).真是浪漫温馨啊，什么时候也能有这样的待遇，被某人看作生命中的音乐。翻资料的时候，只有劲歌飞扬这个翻译名字让我满意，跟原名相得益彰。影片在著名的IMDb评分中，10分会员和1分会员的拉锯战让平均分只有3.9。影片票房也只有区区一千万。无论如何，我认为值得一看。如果看完我这么长的唠叨你还要问我一个理由，那就是当剧中人沉醉在音乐中浑身散发旋律的光芒的时候，我也被感染得嘴角上扬。嗯，我就是很吃爆米花电影这套又如何？况且这个爆米花还挺可口。演员阵容还是不错的，撇开Hilary Duff不说，你可以在剧中看到不少熟悉的面孔。貌似导演客串了医生？我来附带下不算有名的男主角扮演者Oliver James。这孩子真是我花痴的类型，高挑的身材，俊朗的面容，灿烂的笑靥，温柔的眼睛，优美的歌喉，不错的演技……你以为这几年唱歌可以打动我的人有几个？他也是少有的穿衬衫让我称赞的外国男人。可惜星运不佳，在好莱坞的帅哥堆里还没有谁发现这个金子。随便小推一下他的另外一部影片《What a Girl Wants》（实在没有喜欢的译名）。也是俗套的总统私生女成长故事，他在里面饰演一个开朗不羁的歌手，造型很不错，歌声很悠扬。蛮可以的片子，好像比《Raise Your Voice》成功一些。况且还有著名的Colin Firth先生饰演总统（我最初就是冲着他去的，结果迷上Oliver，就又去看了《Raise Your Voice》）。如果我哪天无聊。再八卦一下这个片子。Oliver James (born Oliver James HutsWhat a Girl Wantson on June 1, 1980) is an English musician and actor. He is perhaps best known for his roles in the American films What a Girl Wants and Raise Your Voice. Early life James, an only child, was born in Ottershaw, Surrey. His father is involved in car racing, and James had originally wanted to puruse a career as a professional race car driver. He played the drums in a band while in high school, where he also participated in racing and motorcrossing. James graduated from the Guildford School of Acting in Surrey, where he majored in drama, and subsequently appeared in stage productions and commercials. At the age of nineteen, he adapted his middle name as his professional surname, in order to avoid confusion with actor Oliver Hudson. Career James' first screen appearance was a supporting role in the 2002 made-for-television short film, School's Out; he next appeared in a 2003 episode of the BBC series, The Afternoon Play, and joined a boy band produced by Simon Fuller. He left the band as soon as he was cast opposite actress Amanda Bynes in the American romantic comedy, What a Girl Wants; for his role in the film, he learned to play the guitar and co-wrote and sang the songs Long Time Coming and Greatest Story Ever Told, which were on the film's soundtrack. The film was set in England and James played the romantic interest of Bynes' character. It was released in April of 2003 and performed fairly at the box office, grossing $35 million domestically.[1] James' next role was opposite Hilary Duff in the teen film Raise Your Voice, which was released in October of 2004 and grossed $10 million domestically.[2] Raise Your Voice was James' last acting role to date. Personal life James currently lives in Los Angeles, California, where he moved to in March of 2003, in order to pursue an acting career in the United States.摘自我的博客http://sandraxie.blog.sohu.com/60857017.html
