America needs heroines

棒球姑娘們從男人的消遣，成為了美國的英雄；一段歷史的有趣插曲，一段銘刻終身的唏噓記憶。

it's all about memory...

Released in 1992, A League of Their Own is a movie directed by Penny Marshall. Base on a real story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, the movie tells a story about a memorable period of time and those extraordinary female baseball players.
                During World War Ⅱ, because Major League Baseball shut down managers had to think of other ways to make money. So they decided to start a girls’ baseball league. As major players of the league, Dottie and Kit were sisters from the countryside played together as the Peaches. Dottie and Kit were both talented players. However, Dottie was the team star. And Kit seemed like would never get a chance. So she decided to play for another team to get a chance. They met at the final game, and Kit won the game.
                This is a movie about great period of time. Director Penny Marshall was trying to replicate that period of time. When she chose actors and actresses, she intended to pick some actors and actresses that looked like those original players. The costumes that were used in the movie were exactly the same as they were in the 1940s. At the beginning, Dottie’s daughter said to her “you just don’t understand how special it was.” Dottie didn’t think baseball meant too much to her, but she also knew baseball meant everything to her little sister Kit and other members of the team. Moreover, the movie begins with Dottie preparing for her journey to the induction of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. And the movie ended at the Baseball Hall of Fame which is made to memorize those great players and moments.
Another theme of this movie in my opinion is family love. Older sister Dottie loved Kit. Her love was the biggest obstacle and helper to Kit’s success. Through the whole movie, Kit had been living under Dottie’s shadow. She couldn’t succeed as long as her sister was playing baseball. At the beginning of the movie, old Dottie told her older grandson to give his little brother a chance to shoot. This was a hint to the last game which Dottie lost to Kit by mistake. Since Dottie was the best player of the whole league, I believe she did that on purpose.
This is also a movie about feminism. When the AAGPBL was found, it was also the very beginning of the Second-wave Feminism. Under this situation, it’s understandable for girls to go out of kitchen and play a manly game. In the movie, girls play baseball just like boys. They change their image of housewife who used to support the husband to self-independent strong manly baseball players. In one scene, there is a woman holds a book saying girls shouldn’t play baseball, they should stay in kitchen. Also when the coach says he got no baseball players, he only got girls, this shows the anti-feminism attitude of the society. Director used parallel montage to portray this plot. Two stories descript two one argument which is girls can play baseball. And at the end of the plot, two stories reach one agreement that girls prove their capability of playing baseball. Another interesting thing of this movie is Madonna played a role, and Madonna is a typical feminist.
                As I mentioned, this movie is about feminism. Feminism is a long process of women fight for their equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities. It started from 18th century and still undergoing at present. The new representative figure of feminism in late 20th century has to be Madonna. Madonna is well known by standing for women’s rights and fighting for freedom. From this perspective, the movie is honoring those women fought for their rights. And it did quite well.

      這部電影是我在大學(xué)的一節(jié)課的必看影片。此前對于各種體育項目毫無興趣的露珠并沒有對這部影片抱有那么大的興趣。湯姆漢克斯在海報上也絲毫沒有男神的影子，還有這個“紅粉聯(lián)盟”到底是個怎樣坑爹的名字。。。。。

      可是驚喜向來只在這種看起來很水的“必看影片”里產(chǎn)生。雖然dottie和kit的姐妹沖突看的我心中一陣一陣的糾結(jié)，雖然我找了好久還是不知道哪個是麥姐，雖然湯姆教練吐東西的時候真的很惡心。。。。?？墒沁@確實一部如此令我驕傲的故事。即使是因為戰(zhàn)時男運(yùn)動員都去打仗而迫不得已將女人拉來打棒球，這幫閨蜜表現(xiàn)的確實無盡的自豪。

      我仍然記得那個黑人太太撿起球隨手一揮，然后再dottie驚詫的眼神中聳聳肩，表示剛才的有力的一擲真的沒什么。這是怎樣的驕傲！即使這時的球隊仍處在性別歧視和種族歧視的風(fēng)口浪尖，所以全部隊員都是白人女性，可劇作者卻以極高的敬意在向同樣在為戰(zhàn)時美國付出努力的黑人女性敬禮。

      我仍記得最后一場比賽時鮑勃坐在觀眾席中觀戰(zhàn)，看到dottie的精彩表現(xiàn)拖著病腿奮力一躍，高聲吶喊：“This is my wife!" 這從前只可能性別調(diào)轉(zhuǎn)的一瞬間景象毫無預(yù)兆地?fù)糁辛宋摇Ｈ缓笪揖烷_始哭了，一直哭到最后，哭到幾十年后這些年輕力壯的運(yùn)動員已經(jīng)白發(fā)滿頭，重新唱起曾經(jīng)比賽前的歌謠，哭到看見湯姆教練在還年輕力壯時的黑白照片，也哭到馬拉說是你，厄尼為了我們而付出一切所以只有他才有資格剪彩。我一邊哭一邊感受著他們的驕傲，在這個世界最動蕩的那幾年里，這些女人成為了一個時代的標(biāo)志，無論戰(zhàn)中戰(zhàn)后，她們一旦加入，就再不會從歷史的舞臺上退出，為了讓我可以獲得我現(xiàn)在習(xí)以為常的一切，這些女人用智慧，用美麗，用驕傲贏得了公眾，贏得了人生，也贏得了歷史。

對于湯姆漢克斯的每一部電影，我都不放過，就像阿甘里面說的，他就像是盒子里的巧克力，你永遠(yuǎn)不知道他下一個角色是什么，這是他早期的電影，真沒想到他早期，演技都這樣到位，他飾演的都根教練很顯然是一片綠葉，但是就是這樣一片綠葉，他也演出了特色，邋遢，暴躁，每一個動作，眼神，看起來都是那么自然。印象最深的是因為梅失誤而失了分，作為教練的他，想發(fā)火，強(qiáng)忍著，面目痛苦扭曲，嘴張張合合，好像要吞回他所有要吐出的口水，兩個手臂舉起來搖搖晃晃，仿佛一頭將要發(fā)怒的獅子，這個鏡頭太到位了。女孩們的表演也很精彩，何況里面還有精彩的棒球比賽，精彩豈容錯過。唯一，有點遺憾的，就是，我本以為，都根和達(dá)莉最后會在一起的，我多少次的希望他丈夫就不要回來了，但是，真是太讓人遺憾了。

故事發(fā)生在二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，沃爾特（蓋瑞·馬歇爾 Garry Marshall 飾）是曾經(jīng)風(fēng)靡一時的棒球明星，如今，早已屈居二線的他決定組建一支史無前例的女子棒球隊。他看重了漂亮高大的多利（吉娜·戴維斯 Geena Davis 飾），多利的妹妹基特（羅莉·佩蒂 Lori Petty 飾）也跟隨著姐姐的腳步加入了球隊。
之后，馬拉（梅根·卡瓦納芙 Megan Cavanagh 飾）等一干得力干將的加入讓球隊的實力瞬間增強(qiáng)，在幾次挫折之后，沃爾特的“娘子軍”逐漸得到了體育界的認(rèn)可?？墒?，就在這樣的關(guān)鍵時刻，棒球隊里卻發(fā)生了內(nèi)訌，馬拉和基特離隊，沃爾特也產(chǎn)生了放棄的想法。就在這時，多利遠(yuǎn)赴戰(zhàn)場的丈夫鮑勃（比爾·普爾曼 Bill Pullman 飾）的歸來讓棒球隊看到了新的希望。

  要我說必須5星不能更棒。
  這是一部很細(xì)膩的片子。棒球更像是這部電影的包裝盒，里面裝著很多的元素：戰(zhàn)爭，家庭，性別，和記憶。
  是棒球讓這些女人暫時放下戰(zhàn)爭背景下的不安和傷痛，甚至改變了不少人的生活和命運(yùn)，讓麥姐不再做低賤的舞女從而在銀幕上展現(xiàn)自己性感的身姿，讓桃樂絲也能享受到受人追捧的感覺，讓馬拉這么自卑孤僻的女孩也能找到終身幸福，讓hanks演的教練也能告別頹靡的低谷，也讓妹妹基特終于打破姐姐女神光環(huán)的陰影獲得自信和榮耀。
  電影在性格的刻畫方面做的也很細(xì)膩。
  ”別理會那些高飛球“
  ”我就是愛高飛球“
  完美的詮釋了姐妹之間的性格差異。Geena Davis飾演的姐姐多里天生一副高冷女神樣，但是她保守內(nèi)斂，打球理性，不愿冒險改變生活不愿過多解釋和妹妹之間的誤會。而妹妹基特卻喜歡刺激和挑戰(zhàn)，不愿聽姐姐建議的去找機(jī)會打點而是選擇在九局下半冒險擊打高飛球來獲得全壘打機(jī)會。
  另外不得不提的是那個演馬拉的演員真是選的好，那屁股大的，輕松揮棒全壘打妥妥滴。。
  雖然早早猜到電影的結(jié)尾會打回憶和感情牌來個無敵催淚彈已經(jīng)有了心理準(zhǔn)備，但是最后那首天殺的紀(jì)念合唱真心讓人猝不及防。。
  看到這差強(qiáng)人意的豆瓣分再看完這電影后就好像在十元店里淘到精致寶貝時的那種欣喜和可惜的復(fù)雜感覺。這就是一部溫情又豐滿的情感劇，涵蓋了歷史和運(yùn)動，又不顯得沉重和冗長，簡單的表達(dá)著，能夠有這么一段值得珍惜的回憶，我們永遠(yuǎn)活在一個最好的時代。
