中秋小长假第一天,台风“贝碧嘉”即将登陆上海。傍晚,听从女儿的选择,一家人去影院看了《里斯本丸沉没》。印象中这是我第一次在影院看纪录片。

导演兼制片人方励,理工男,地球物理学家,误入电影行业,曾参与投资了几部好电影。这只是他偶然发现的一段历史,却不惜倾家荡产地把它拍成了一部纪录片。这是个有情有义、有追求的男人。这部纪录片,多方发掘历史,不煽情,不带入个人倾向和情绪,展现各种史料以及对后人的影响,一切让观众自己去评判。即使这样,你仍能从尘封的历史事实中,从后人对先辈的纪念与缅怀中,感受到人性与亲情的伟大,感受到战争的卑鄙和残酷。在不经意间可能会触动你心中的某个软肋,让你潸然泪下。

给我印象最深的几个场景:一是方励选择是在英国《星期日泰晤士报》背面做整版广告,寻到了很多有价值的关联人和信息。后来BBC获悉此事之后,他应邀进行了一场全球直播的电视访谈。另一个是在日本选择了侦探事务来寻找里斯本丸船长经田茂的后人。看来真是应了那句话:钱能解决的问题,都不是问题。还有就是居住于加拿大的“里斯本丸”幸存者William Benningfield,战争和苦难,给了他巨大的心理创伤,但改变不了他的坚强和乐观。这部片子拍摄完成后,幸存者William Benningfield、Denis Morley、当年参与救人唯一在世的人林阿根都相继去世,不禁让人唏嘘感叹,这真是一部抢救式拍摄的纪录片。

真心推荐这部纪录片,希望它能获得一个公允的评价,也能卖个相对可能的票房,尽可能对得起方励的付出。要非得说这部纪录片有什么美中不足的话,就是3D虚拟动画内容为了节省投资,略显粗糙。最后引用方励的一段话作为结尾:相比评分,我觉得影片的现实意义更重要。我特别想告诉今天中国的年轻观众,要珍惜和平,珍惜亲人,珍惜所爱。

On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Typhoon Bebinca will make landfall in Shanghai. In the evening, following my daughter's choice, we went to the cinema to see THE SINKING OF THE LISBON MARU. This was the first time I had watched a documentary in the cinema.

Director and producer Fang Li, science and engineering guy, geophysicist, stumbled into the film industry, had invested in several good films. This was just a period of history that he accidentally discovered, but did not hesitate to make it into a documentary. A man with affection, righteousness, and pursuit. This documentary excavates history in many ways, does not sensationalize, does not bring in personal tendencies and emotions, shows various historical materials and the impact on future generations, and leaves it to the audicence to judge for themselves. Even so, you can still feel the greatness of humanity and affection, the meanness and cruelty of war from the dusty facts of history, and from the memory and rememberance of the ancestors by the descendants. It may touch a soft spot in your heart and make you weep.

I was most impressed by a few scenes: Firstly, Fangli chose to do a full-page advertisement on the back of the Sunday Times in the UK, and found a lot of valuable associates and information. Later, after the BBC was informed of this, he was invited to conduct a global live TV interview. The other chose detective services in Japan to find the descentants of Captain Shigeru Suta of the Lisbon Maru. It really seems to be true what they say: anything that money can solve is not a problem. There is also William Benningfield, a survivor of the Lisbon Pill, who lives in Canada. The war and suffering have given him great psychological trauma, but cannot change his strength and optimism.After the filming of this movie was completed, survivors William Benningfield, Denis Morley, and the only living person who participated in the rescue that year, Lin Agan, all passed away one after another, and one can't help but sigh and wonder what a salvage filming documentary this is.

Truly recommend this documentary, and hope that it gets a fair review and sells a relatively possible box office, as well as possible for what Fang Li has done. If I had to say what the beauty of this documentary is, it's that the 3D virtual animation content is slightly crude to save on investment. To conclude with a quote from Fang Li: I think the film's significance is more important than its rating. I especially want to tell today's young Chinese audience to cherish peace, to cherish their loved ones, and to cherish what they love.
