一条叫旺达的鱼
文/梁坏坏
五年前在一本杂志上看到关于这部1988年获得奥斯卡大奖的电影的简介，就想找来看看。但那时候网络资源远没有现在丰富，dvd光碟市场也没有现在成熟，更不能指望电影院来放映这过时的老电影了。于是，苦苦期盼，终于在2006年这个寒冷的秋冬交汇的时候能够识得真面目，还是要感谢互联网，感谢魏老师。
乍看起来，还以为这是一个警匪片或者强盗片。但随着故事进展，一直到结尾警察这个和强盗对立的角色都没有出现，而一少女旺达为首的四人帮却步步为营，抢劫了珠宝店，然后开始了内部斗争。这和传统的警匪片，强盗片的差别就在于，取消了对手，也就是代表社会公共部分的警察。这样一来就形成了强盗内部斗争的演绎。堪称一部另类的强盗故事。
旺达是一个充满欲望和智慧的女人。凭借着女人的优势，她便可以在三个男人之间游刃有余的斡旋。旺达给观众的印象也许会是一个坏女人，这个坏女人，谎话说的行云流水，骗倒了奥托、乔治、肯以及为乔治辩护的律师里奇。
然而，要是把这部电影看作黑色幽默的喜剧电影，那么喜剧和黑色的效果，主要来源于三个男人身上。
奥托这个旺达从美国引进的暴力分子，一个研究弗里德里希尼采的超人哲学和关心美国人的国家形象，代表美国文化心理的杀手，为了旺达虚伪的热情而迷失自己的男人。他崇尚暴力解决问题，他在争风吃醋的时候，用武力搞定了旺达的新情人里奇。想得到宝石他绑架了肯，一边吃英国人发明的薯条一边跟肯讨论尼采的超人哲学，他告诉肯，尼采曾说过：“几乎所有的高等文明都是建立在残酷的基础上的”。然后用薯条塞住肯的鼻孔，用一枚清苹果堵住肯的嘴巴。这个刑法真得很绝啊。更加精彩的是肯对于奥托折磨那条叫做旺达的鱼的表现，这是肯的心理最最承受不了的刺激，肯为了心爱的旺达，说出了宝石的藏处，但是肯也决定要干掉奥托为那条叫旺达的鱼报仇，这个信念一直到结尾部分，肯仍然没有放弃，一边开着压路机冲向被水泥固定住双脚的奥托，一边嘴里念念有词。
肯的结巴本身就是一个笑料，这个对动物的感情深厚于人类，甚至把心爱的鱼取名也叫做旺达，抢劫之后他还担心那条小狗的性命。乔治让肯干掉出庭指正乔治的老太婆，那戏剧性的情节，让人忍俊不止。本来是要干掉老太婆，三次谋杀却杀死了老太婆的三条小狗。每一次小狗的死亡，都给热爱动物的肯的心理留下莫大的谴责，这与对人性的冷漠是一个鲜明的对比，这种对比在老太婆因为爱犬的死亡导致心脏病并发而横尸街头的时候，围观群众的严肃哀伤和肯脸上的笑容的对比中显示出荒诞的力量。
Rich is a standard English gentleman, doing things in line with social norms, but behind this complete recombination, there are also human repression, the rich wife's arrogant posture in front of him, the great pressure on work, let this Gentlemen can hardly hold themselves when they are seduced by Wanda. In the pleasure of affair, Rich also got a complete relaxation. This was an experience he had never had before. He said something insulting to Otto, which angered the strong Mr. Otto. When Otto asked Rich to apologize, the picture began as if Rich was standing on the ground and talking to Otto, but then the camera flipped 180 degrees, and we saw a panoramic view: Otto Baric's big head rushed down and hung out of the window. . This reversal conveyed a vital signal that Richie's life will undergo a 180-degree transformation from then on. The lawyer, the role of social justice, will have only a difference from the antagonistic level of the robber. From this time, Rich began to embark on the road of robbers. In order to retrieve Wanda's necklace, he played the role of a robber and robbed his own home. In a friend's villa, he spoke Russian indulgently, which stimulated Wanda's physiological reaction. He took off every piece of his body by himself, and then the owner of the house and his family came back. He was dumbfounded. A little girl on the screen also deliberately looked at what was hanging three inches below Richie's umbilicus. Rich took the photo of the hostess and stood in front of him. The awkward expression and the hostess's brilliant smile on the photo were a black contrast.
In the court, Wanda accused George, the purpose is to go to jail for George and swallow gems by himself. This angered George and made George’s defense lawyer Rich ugly. His wife gave Rich a mouth and left angrily. After scamming the treasure location, Rich also decided to give up everything in Britain and elope with Wanda. In a fight at the airport, Rich and Wanda were victorious. They both ended up in their own ways. Wanda married a lawyer, gave birth to 17 children, and used 1 million to set up a leprosy. The Disease Foundation, Ken, who loves fish farming, became the chairman of the World Ocean Commission, and Otto went to South Africa to become the Minister of Justice.
This ending is very interesting. This is the logic of a bandit's victory, and this is also a different place in traditional bandit movies. While he satirizes the world, he also satisfies people to relax completely within 100 minutes of watching the movie.
