航海家1924

如果你看惯了卓别林用流浪汉的悲微博取同情，不妨换换口味——巴斯特·基顿在《航海家》里呈现的是另一种默片喜剧：他把一艘废弃远洋轮变成巨大的机械玩具，所有笑点都从物理空间和人体极限里硬挤出来。基顿亲自完成的高难度特技——比如被锚链拖下水、在甲板上用床单当帆——比现在大部分特效更让人捏把汗。两人面对成堆的罐头、失控的炉灶和陌生的航海设备，从手忙脚乱到渐渐摸索出求生门道——少爷用床单当帆，大小姐用缝纫机改造成捕鱼工具，连鲨鱼都被他们耍得团团转。基顿的“石脸”表演与麦奎尔慌乱的反应构成无声的节奏对位，灾难与浪漫在绳索、齿轮间达成喜剧平衡。 你要是喜欢那种靠肢体动作和创意逗乐子的喜剧，或者想看看默片时代的人有多能整活儿，这片子必须刷。整部影片就靠一艘空荡荡的远洋轮和一个富家少爷（基顿饰）的笨拙自救撑场——他试图用船上的滑轮吊起早餐，结果把自己吊到烟囱上；想用信号旗求助，却缠成个巨大的蝴蝶结。

　　Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Buster Keaton) suddenly decides to propose to his neighbor across the street, Betsy O'Brien (Kathryn McGuire), and sends his servant to book passage for a honeymoon sea cruise to Honolulu. When Betsy rejects his sudden offer however, he decides to go on the trip anyway, boarding without delay that night. Because the pier number is partially covered, he ends up on the wrong ship, the Navigator, which Betsy's rich father (Frederick Vroom) has just sold to a small country at war.
　　Agents for the other small nation in the conflict decide to set the ship adrift that same night. When Betsy's father checks up on the ship, he is captured and tied up by the saboteurs. Betsy hears his cry for help and boards the ship to look for him, just before it is cut loose.
　　The Navigator drifts out into the Pacific Ocean. The two unwitting passengers eventually find each other. At first, they have great difficulty looking after themselves, but adapt after a few weeks. At one point, they sight a navy ship and hoist a brightly-colored flag, not realizing it signals that the ship is under quarantine. As a result, the other vessel turns away.
　　Finally, the ship grounds itself near an inhabited tropical island and springs a leak. While Rollo dons a deep sea diving suit and submerges to patch the hole, the black natives canoe out and take Betsy captive. When Rollo emerges from the ocean, the natives are scared off, enabling him to rescue Betsy and take her back to the ship. The natives return and try to board the ship. After a fierce struggle, Rollo and Betsy try to escape in a small dinghy. It starts to sink, and the natives swiftly overtake them in their canoes. Just when all seems lost, a navy submarine surfaces right underneath them and they are saved.
