Joe Alwyn—Hollywood’s Next Big Thing
by Damaris Diaz
喬·阿爾文—一位從名不見經(jīng)傳到人人欽羨的“新星”,還沒從戲劇學(xué)校畢業(yè),他就得以出演李安導(dǎo)演新作《比利·林恩的中場戰(zhàn)爭》的第一男主角。他更被李安導(dǎo)演盛贊為頂級的天才演員,擁有頂級的表演天分。不得不承認的是,喬·阿爾文有一雙很會表達情緒的、毫無瑕疵的藍眼睛,只要一看到他的臉,你就馬上會被吸引住。他在電影里那自然不做作的演技可圈可點,時刻牽引著觀眾的情緒。這位只有舞臺劇出演經(jīng)驗的男孩能被大導(dǎo)演一眼相中,不用說,他肯定有著令人著迷的魔力。
Host:Congratulations!
Alwyn:Thanks.
Host:You’re really1)convincingas a soldier.
Alwyn:Thank you.
Host:(laughs) Now we see you handling some serious2)weaponsand in the middle of some very intense3)battles. What was that experience like for you?
Alwyn:The whole experience was pretty amazing. Being thrown into a situation like this, where it was my first film and I was working with director likeAng①:李安(Ang Lee),著名編劇、導(dǎo)演。1999年,他因執(zhí)導(dǎo)《臥虎藏龍》首次獲得奧斯卡金像獎最佳外語片獎。他還憑借2006年的《斷背山》和2013年的《少年派的奇幻漂流》分別獲得第78屆和第85屆奧斯卡金像獎最佳導(dǎo)演獎。他亦因此成為了首位兩度獲得奧斯卡金像獎最佳導(dǎo)演獎的亞洲導(dǎo)演,也是首位獲得奧斯卡最佳外語片獎的華人導(dǎo)演。was obviously unusual, and not normal, but it was all very, it was exciting. It was the most exciting adventure and experience to go on, and I loved it.
Host:How was the training to prepare for this role?
Alwyn:We did two weeks of training inAtlanta②:亞特蘭大(Atlanta),位于美國東部,是美國三大高地城市之一,亦是美國佐治亞州的首府和最大的工商業(yè)城市。, the seven boys did, and it’sthe Bravo Squad③:布拉沃小分隊(Bravo Squad),電影里男主角比利·林恩所在的小分隊。這是一支在伊拉克作戰(zhàn)的八人小分隊。, and that was very, very hard and tough, and emotionally and physically it really, really pushed us. But it was very eye-opening as well, and it gave us a lot, it brought us together as a…as a group of boys and as a4)unit. And the people who5)ranit, the soldiers who ran it, they spoke to us a lot about their own experiences and what they’d gone through, and we could6)draw onthat. And they were very generous speaking to us about that, and I think we had a lot of respect for them, yeah.
Host:This is definitely a very emotional film to watch because of this…this very intense story. Was there something that you learned about yourself? Movies are meant to entertain us, but we also kinda leave the theater learning something new. Was there something that you learned about yourself or about the7)militaryin general?
Alwyn:It left me with, I think what it does, whether you,8)pro or9)antithe war, or anti-war, I think it’s a…it’s a pro-soldier, anti-war film. But with the military and with the soldiers, it really10)humanizes it, and you have a huge amount of respect for them regardless of whether or not you believe in the cause. I left with a huge amount of respect for what they do.
Host:How much did you enjoy this…this role, this character?
Alwyn:Yeah, I mean, I loved it. It was tough at times, and it was intense and it was overwhelming to be thrown into such deep water in such an unusual situation so early on in my career, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. I mean people would jump for that11)at any pointin their career, and I’m…I’m lucky to have worked with Ang and with these people in the way that I did.

主持人:恭喜你!
阿爾文:謝謝。
主持人:你演軍人真的很有說服力。
阿爾文:謝謝夸獎。
主持人:(笑)我們看到在影片中,你在火拼激烈的戰(zhàn)場上操作那些真槍實彈的武器。對你來說,那是一段怎樣的經(jīng)歷?
阿爾文:整個過程都非常棒。這是我出演的第一部電影,而且還是和像李安這樣杰出的導(dǎo)演合作,我處于這樣的環(huán)境下,那感覺顯然是非同尋常、很不一般的,但整個過程都非常,非常令人興奮。這是最讓我激動的一次冒險經(jīng)歷,我很享受。
主持人:為了這個角色,你做了些什么訓(xùn)練?
阿爾文:我和其他七個男孩,也就是布拉沃小分隊,在亞特蘭大接受了為期兩周的訓(xùn)練,那是非常非常艱難、辛苦的,無論在心理上還是身體上,對我們都是極大的考驗。但這也讓我們大開眼界,讓我們學(xué)到了很多東西,讓我們團結(jié)在一起……組成了一個男孩團體,組成了一個小分隊。而那些管理訓(xùn)練場的人,那些管理訓(xùn)練場的軍人們,給我們講了很多他們自己的經(jīng)歷,還有他們的過往,那些我們都用得上。他們也很樂于跟我們分享這些事,我覺得我們對他們都充滿了敬意,對。
主持人:這肯定是一部非常有感染力的電影,因為它……它是一個能讓人感到十分緊張的故事。你自己有沒有學(xué)到什么呢?電影是供我們休閑娛樂的,但在離開影院后,我們同樣也會有所感悟。總的來說,你對自己或者對軍人有沒有什么新的認識呢?
阿爾文:我想這部電影讓我認識到,無論你是支持還是反對伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭,又或是位反戰(zhàn)人士,這是……這是一部贊揚軍人、反對戰(zhàn)爭的電影。它讓我們認識到軍人也是血肉之軀,無論你對這場戰(zhàn)爭有何看法,都會對軍人充滿敬意。我真的很敬佩他們所做的一切。
主持人:你有多喜歡比利·林恩這……這個角色,這個人物?
阿爾文:是的,我是說,我很喜歡。有時候是會遇到一些困難,畢竟我剛?cè)胄胁痪镁偷靡猿鲅葸@樣的角色,而且處于這樣一種非同尋常、困難重重的環(huán)境之中,確實會緊張,壓力也很大。但我能出演這樣的角色是千金不換的。我的意思是,人們在事業(yè)的征程上,任何時候都會去爭取這樣的機會,而我……我很幸運能和李安導(dǎo)演,以及這個劇組的朋友們有這次合作。
主持人:這個故事讓我們看到了這個角色人生的多個階段,要你說你最喜歡里頭的哪個場景?
阿爾文:有好些場景我都很喜歡。我喜歡橄欖球公開賽的中場表演里那些壯觀的場景和槍戰(zhàn)場景,以及在摩洛哥拍攝的所有場景。還有一些比較安靜的場景,我也很喜歡。我喜歡和比利的姐姐凱瑟琳在一起的場景,她是由克里斯汀飾演的,我真的很樂在其中。
主持人:從這一整個經(jīng)歷中你學(xué)到了什么?
阿爾文:我自己嗎?我從中學(xué)到了什么?
主持人:是啊。
阿爾文:就是我一直挺開心的,我也不知道。
主持人:那么你接下來會做些什么呢?
阿爾文:我只希望能夠繼續(xù)找些自己熱愛的電影來拍,還有和……和優(yōu)秀的導(dǎo)演合作。我一開始就能出演李安導(dǎo)演的電影真是太幸運了。你知道,我真希望以后還能有機會接拍跟這次一樣出色的電影,并和同樣出色的演員及工作人員合作,就讓我們一起期待吧!
