迈阿密评论中的一个晚上:里贾纳·金(Regina King)在导演处女作中的胜利|TIFF 2020

On one incredible night in 1964, four icons of sports, music, and activism gathered to celebrate one of the biggest upsets in boxing history. When underdog Cassius Clay, soon to be called Muhammad Ali, (Eli Goree), defeats heavyweight champion Sonny Liston at the Miami Convention Hall, Clay memorialized the event with three of his friends: Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr.) and Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge). Based on the award-winning play of the same name, and directed by Regina King, One Night In Miami… is a fictional account inspired by the historic night these four formidable figures spent together. It looks at the struggles these men faced and the vital role they each played in the civil rights movement and cultural upheaval of the 1960s. More than 40 years later, their conversations on racial injustice, religion, and personal responsibility still resonate.

在迈阿密预告片中的一个晚上:

The Good:

在迈阿密,绝对最好的事情是合奏演员和他们出色的表演。金斯利·本·阿迪尔(Kingsley Ben-Adir)在丹泽尔·华盛顿(Denzel Washington)对马尔科姆(Malcolm X)的经典刻画的巨大脚步中扮演了这个角色。但是,本·阿迪尔(Ben-Adir)加强了挑战,并在该角色中做得很好。我喜欢他如何能够表现出马尔科姆X人的复杂性,并且没有诉诸于传奇,几乎是神话般的民权人物方面。本·阿迪尔(Ben-Adir)展示了他展示马尔科姆(Malcolm)的偏执狂,作为父亲的爱,革命者的勇气以及成为好朋友的魅力快乐。

Next to Ben-Adir, comes Eli Goree as he took on the other challenging role of Cassius Clay. Goree doesn’t waste very much time in convincing audiences that he really was the heavyweight boxing champ. He captured the charm and wit with ease, and even managed to show us another side of the boxer’s youthful naivete. Best of all, even during some of the more tense moment in the film, Goree managed to bring in some sensible comic relief that lightens up the mood for both the characters in the movie and audiences as well.

接下来,是莱斯利·奥多姆(Leslie Odom)作为山姆·库克(Sam Cooke)。鉴于奥多姆的唱歌和表演的双重威胁能力,这种铸造再好不过了。他的角色似乎几乎太舒服了,当然,唱歌时刻是在公园里散步的才华横溢的演员。与他的演员一起,奥多姆(Odom)不仅通过他的言语,而且他的肢体语言和面部表情传达了许多情绪,而且还获得了美丽的交流。您知道他什么时候开心或受伤,甚至没有让他说一句话。对于演员来说,这是一个被低估的能力,在展示时应该获得更多信用。

Lastly, Aldis Hodge as Jim Brown was my personal favorite. Firstly, kudos to Hodge for achieving the southern accent and diction of the Hall of Fame football player, Jim Brown. The other positive for Hodge is how unexpectedly funny he was in this film. His character isn’t comedic in nature, but the timing and some of the lines he throws out were more than chuckle-worthy on a number of occasions. What I appreciated was how despite the entertaining lines, he still never broke character which would’ve made the delivery cheesy.

In addition to the good acting, the main backbone to迈阿密的一个晚上are the number of themes that are addressed by the characters. The driving force in every scene comes from the meaningful conversations of blackness in America that take place between the characters. The fascinating thing here is how the different and invigorating the verbal clashes were each time. Just when you think one character is making a compelling argument, some else comes in with an excellent counterpoint. It’s hard to say if there are any right or wrong answers, but it’s the journey through the conversation that’s the real delight either way.

坏:

迈阿密的一个晚上is heavy on the exposition, and it’s my opinion that more flashbacks and cut scenes may have benefited this film. Since the movie was adapted from a stage play, it’s understandable as to why it was edited in such a way. However, I do believe that transitioning from the theatrical stage to the big screen comes with different expectations. For this film, I think it relied too heavily on appealing to those audiences that are engaged through auditory learning, so to speak, rather than bringing in a bit more balance to those who are more visually stimulated.

I felt as though there was a bit of a wakeup and shift in the film the moment we had flashbacks such as Malcolm’s experience with Sam Cooke. Visually taking the audience along for the ride, as Malcolm recounted the story kept me engaged far more than the scenes with the characters merely arguing back and forth. When those cutaway scenes are included, I believe it creates a more interactive experience with audiences to help the impact of the conversation land more effectively.

判决:

迈阿密的一个晚上无非是一种令人耳目一新的享受,可以以独特的方式体验我们的黑色图标。这部电影让我希望这一切都是基于真实事件的。导演里贾纳·金(Regina King)做出了出色的工作,以营造一种氛围,使观众在整部电影中感到“飞上墙上”的感觉。实际上,您会感到“在发生的房间里”完全实现。(如果您已经看到汉密尔顿you got that reference.) If you’re习惯于参加舞台戏剧,或者如果您喜欢这样的电影Fences,then迈阿密的一个晚上将就在您的小巷上。如果您在自己的家中舒适地观看,您将特别感谢它。无论哪种方式,我都想确保检查一下迈阿密的一个晚上当它在数字版本上首次亮相时。
