奧巴馬傳記電影《巴里》即將上映 聚焦紐約大學時光
If you weep at the thought of a White House without Barack Obama, take comfort in Netflix's new original biopic about the future POTUS as a 20-year-old college student.
如果你因爲貝拉克·奧巴馬將要離開白宮而傷心流淚的話，那就到網飛公司新制作的傳記電影裏尋找安慰吧。該電影講述了這位總統還是20歲的大學生的故事。Barry follows the young ambitious Barack - called Barry by his pals - as he navigates the gritty, crime-ridden New York City of the early 1980s.
電影《巴里》講述的是上世紀80年代初，年輕氣盛的奧巴馬（朋友都叫他巴里）在現實殘酷、罪犯猖獗的紐約城尋找人生方向。Barry, played by Australian actor Devon Terrell, arrives in the city as a junior at Columbia University.
澳大利亞演員德文·特雷爾飾演的巴里是紐約哥倫比亞大學大三的學生。
The trailer highlights Obama's sense of displacement as a child of a white mother from rural Kansas and a black father from Kenya.
奧巴馬的母親是來自堪薩斯農村的白人，父親是肯尼亞黑人。預告片中凸顯了作爲這樣家庭裏的孩子，奧巴馬對自己的身份認同感到錯亂。It also shows him indulging in a few things we don't normally associate with the buttoned-up POTUS: dancing sensuously at a nightclub with a young lady who is not Michelle Obama, hanging out on graffiti-scarred street corners and inside smoky tenement hallways, and lounging shirtless in bed with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
預告片還展現了這位內斂的總統不爲人知的樣子，他在夜總會與年輕女子（不是米歇爾）性感熱舞，在佈滿塗鴉的街角、煙霧繚繞的出租公寓走廊閒逛，赤膊叼着煙躺在牀上。Throughout the trailer, the theme of Obama's 'otherness' from his classmates is clear - he's of mixed race, he's not into the club scene, and he probably studies just a bit harder than most of them.
預告片清晰地傳遞了奧巴馬與其他同學的“差異”。他是混血，他不混俱樂部，而他可能只是比大多數人稍微用功一點。And there are flashes of the idealism that would propel the Democrat to the highest political office in the world: 'I believe people create change,' he says.
電影中的他說道：“我相信人們會讓世界改變。”那時閃現的理想主義情懷將推動這位民主黨人士成爲世界上最有權力的總統。It might be a shock for some to see Barack sans Michelle - at this stage of life, his girlfriend is Charlotte, a wealthy young lady from Connecticut, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, a composite of Obama's college girlfriends, including Genevieve Cook.
奧巴馬身邊沒有米歇爾讓有些人感到震驚。奧巴馬在電影中的女朋友是夏洛特，她是來自康涅狄格州的富家小姐，由安雅·泰勒·喬伊飾演。夏洛特這個人物是以奧巴馬大學時期的女友們爲原型的，其中就包括吉納維芙·庫克。The movie is directed by Vikram Gandhi and was written by Adam Mansbach. Barry, which received rave reviews at the Toronto Film Festival, premieres December 16.
《巴里》這部電影由維克拉姆·甘地執導，亞當·曼斯巴赫擔任編劇。該片在多倫多電影節上好評如潮，並定於12月16日首映。
