影片根據樂評人尼爾・麥克考米克的自傳體小說《我差點成為波諾》改編,講述了一個歡樂喧鬧卻又傷感的兄弟情誼和雖敗猶榮的故事,展現了80年代愛爾蘭年青一代對音樂的熱情和執著,同時也對早期的U2樂隊進行了一些爆料。
劇情簡介
版本一該片講述一段與愛爾蘭U2樂隊有關的故事。主人公是20世紀70年代末80年代初一對組樂隊的熱血兄弟。尼爾和弟弟高中時代就和波諾相識。電影展現了他們與波諾以及U2樂隊之間的成長故事。
尼爾和伊萬是一對熱血兄弟他們一直熱衷於組織樂隊,一直的夢想就是成為搖滾明星,他們的樂隊在當地也小有名氣。上高中後他們還在繼續著這個夢想。對於尼爾來說,能否成名只是時間的問題,而他又十分樂觀地認為那個時間已經很近了。不想,學校里還有另外一支樂隊,打碎了他的美夢,那就是後來享譽全球的U2樂隊。更讓人鬱悶的是,U2樂隊的四名成員還都是尼爾的同學。眼睜睜看著別人做到了自己曾經夢想的一切,兩兄弟很受刺激,伊萬甚至認為是尼爾毀了自己的人生。曾經風光一時的兄弟二人最終只能旁觀本不起眼的Bono和他的U2成為搖滾巨星。
有人注定生來偉大,有人注定事業成功,有人卻不幸地與波諾上了同一所學校。故事發生在20世紀70年代的都柏林,一個名叫尼爾・麥克考米克的男孩,他非常喜歡音樂並堅信自己注定會成為一名搖滾巨星,可是學校的Hype樂隊已經有保羅這個主唱了,他下定決心和自己的弟弟伊凡一起做專輯、開露天演唱會、呼籲世界和平。但保羅告訴尼爾他們同意伊凡當樂隊的吉他手時,他深深地感到了背叛,他做了一個改變他和伊凡命運的決定,他驕傲地告訴波諾,他的弟弟對他的樂隊沒興趣。
不久保羅更名為波諾,Hype改名為U2,事業發展如日中天。為了比U2更強,麥克考米克兄弟倆來到倫敦尋求成功,然而卻被音樂行業的不公平弄到身心俱疲,每日穿梭在煙霧繚繞的脫衣舞酒吧,在幾乎由自家人組成的熱情觀眾間自娛自樂。就在他們小有成就之時,伊凡發現了尼爾當年所做的一切,也近乎毀掉了來之不易的成功。尼爾不禁感嘆,既生瑜何生亮?難道自己注定一輩子都要活在巨星的陰影下嘛?或許殺掉波諾就能解決一切……
幕後製作
《殺死波諾》改編自樂評人尼爾・麥克考米克(Neil McCormick)的自傳體小說《我差點成為Bono》(I Was Bono’s Doppelganger)。小說以黑色幽默的手法寫出了上世紀80年代愛爾蘭年輕人的音樂熱情,同時也對U2樂隊的早期做出了一些爆料性的描述。片中扮演尼爾的是英國年輕演員本・巴恩斯,童星出身的羅伯特・席安扮演了他的弟弟伊萬,而被稱為愛爾蘭國寶級歌手的U2樂隊主唱bono則由北愛爾蘭演員馬丁・麥凱恩出演。
影片由尼克・哈姆執導,愛爾蘭經典音樂片《追夢者》的迪克・克萊蒙特和伊安・拉・弗雷奈斯將負責改編劇本。他們的作品還包括《一球成名》、《縱橫宇宙》、《銀行搶劫案》等,目前都已經是七十歲以上的高齡。《緋聞女孩》的克里斯滕・蕊特、《星塵》的查理・考克斯和《以父之名》的皮特・波斯爾思韋特也將出演。
雖然故事發生在北愛爾蘭的都柏林,但是出生於貝爾法斯特的導演尼克・哈姆還是習慣於從生養他的城市汲取靈感,2001年由凱拉・奈特莉主演的恐怖片《鬼地方》就深受其學生時代在坎貝爾學院的影響。作為一名U2樂隊的冬粉,導演尼克・哈姆在尼爾的小說出版後的第一時間獲得了電影拍攝著作權,他說,“這本書觸動了我的內心世界,我出生在那個年代的貝爾法斯特,我猶記得當年的那些主題巡迴演出會是如何豐富了我的人生。我亟待講述的是一個關於抱負、希望和易碎的夢想的故事。這個社會充斥了太多個人追求成功和一夜成名的故事,而我想從一個失敗者的角度展現坎坷曲折的追求成功之路。”他花了5年的時間來籌備這部電影,之所以耗時如此之久是因為花了很長時間來搞定劇本,“每個編劇寫作的角度不同,切入點也不一樣。這個故事也確實很難講述。最大的問題在於如何在喜劇和感情之間找到平衡。最後,我只能把書作為素材的來源,畢竟裡面講述的都是一系列偶然的事件,無法構成一部電影。”因此,尼克並不打算像拍紀錄片一樣表現馬克考米克兄弟的真人事跡,他只想借用他們的名字來創作一個新故事,因此他沒有要求本・巴恩斯和羅伯特對角色的性格和歷史進行過多深挖,他們倆在拍攝前也未曾與馬克考米克兄弟見面。
英倫帥哥本・巴恩斯表示,年輕時代的樂評人尼爾這個角色非常吸引他,他說這是他飾演過的最好的角色,“非常好玩,我第一次讀到這么好玩的劇本,每一頁都讓我捧腹大笑。”但是直到電影拍攝快結束時,他才見到尼爾本人,他解釋說,“導演不想我和他見面,因為我飾演一個荒唐版的尼爾,他不想讓尼爾看到我很不開心。”而在實際見面後,他認為尼爾比他想像中要通情達理許多,“畢竟我只能通過書上的描述,對他進行天馬行空的想像。可我認為那才是關鍵。那樣會更有趣,另類荒唐版的人物,這才是電影的價值所在。”另外本片中本・巴恩斯還表現出了相當不錯的音樂才華,Barnes of Gribben說,“他真的讓人大吃一驚,既是相當棒的音樂人,又是才華橫溢的創作人。他寫了很多首很棒的歌曲,電影中很多歌曲都是他寫的詞,雖然他的詞很怪異但也很酷,不過卻能融入到流行歌曲中。”
在電影《櫻桃炸彈》和連續劇《超能少年》中嶄露頭角的新生代演員羅伯特・席安飾演伊凡,他說自己是第一次出演有真人原型的角色,但是由於導演不打算讓他們僅僅對人物進行模仿和重現,所以在角色性格塑造方面,他並沒有花費很大精力。但是出於劇情需要,他在片中的角色的最後結局會與原著有所不同,他解釋說,“電影需要突出戲劇的張力和衝突,更多展現兄弟兩愛恨交織的情感糾葛,他們不能容忍對方但卻又離不開彼此。我和導演研究我和巴恩斯飾演的哥哥的關係就是,他是一心執著於功成名就的外星人,而我們則是認清現實的淡定派。”
幕後花絮
電影花了5年時間籌備,而實際拍攝卻只用了5個禮拜,投入300萬英鎊,在北愛爾蘭的貝爾法斯特取景拍攝。
本片的兩位編劇迪克・克萊蒙特和伊安・拉・弗雷奈斯都是70多歲的老人,他們是經典音樂片《追夢者》的編劇,其他作品還有《一球成名》、《縱橫宇宙》、《銀行搶劫案》等。
劇組徵得了波諾本人和U2樂隊的同意,使用他們的名稱、著作和早期故事。
本片是愛爾蘭老戲骨皮特・波斯爾思韋特(《以父之名》、《盜夢空間》)的遺作。原本皮特要飾演一個更重要的角色,但是導演尼克了解尼克的病情後,根據他的實際行動能力,專門為他塑造了一個無厘頭的角色。
U2的Bono曾以損害名譽權將一隻名叫“Bono Must Die”的樂隊告倒,但對於這部名叫《殺死波諾》(Kill Bono)的電影他並不反對而且是支持。
Final film of Pete PostlethWaite. It was originally planned that Postlethwaite would have a larger role, but when director Nick Hamm saw how ill he was, he wrote him "a new role that allowed them to film around [his] physical needs and abilities... a very funny, ridiculous part". Three months later Postlethwaite came in to do voice work on the film. Hamm later commented: "It was very apparent when I saw him at that moment that there was no way that this guy was ever going to go on screen or stage again."
經典台詞
Karl: A word to the wise from an old man before you go. Remember only this: the measure of a man is what's left when fame falls away... oh, and another thing: get as much sex as you can!
卡爾:在你臨走前我送你一句老人對智者的忠告,記好了:所有功名遠去後剩下的那部分才是你真正的重量。喔,還有一件事,儘量享受性福吧。
