颂祷唱诗班 (2005)

不知有多少人看了《The Gospel》，4月14日将再上映一出以教堂唱诗班为题材的电影《Preaching to the Choir》（颂祷唱诗班）。本人一向对这类题材报有好感，主要是喜欢他们的歌声。但是，这类题材想发挥新创意的大多数手法我们也基本摸透了，就是给唱诗班带来快歌的生气，颠覆以往沉闷的歌声。虽然有些老套，可每次都还算奏效。Whoopi Goldberg乌比戈登堡的《修女也疯狂I&II... [展开全文↓]

不知有多少人看了《The Gospel》，4月14日将再上映一出以教堂唱诗班为题材的电影《Preaching to the Choir》（颂祷唱诗班）。本人一向对这类题材报有好感，主要是喜欢他们的歌声。但是，这类题材想发挥新创意的大多数手法我们也基本摸透了，就是给唱诗班带来快歌的生气，颠覆以往沉闷的歌声。虽然有些老套，可每次都还算奏效。Whoopi Goldberg乌比戈登堡的《修女也疯狂I&II》Beyonc《挑战诱惑》《The Gospel》都基本是这么一个套路，《Preaching to the Choir》自然也逃不出这个唱诗班电影的规律。这次的故事情节虽然和以往完全不同，但亮点依然不够耀眼。一对孪生兄弟，一个称为教堂牧师，一个成了街头混混会唱RAP。唯一的悬念就是，唱诗班是否能把这个街头混混召唤回到上帝的身边，结果当然谁都能猜到，现在值得关注的就是在把他改造成功过程中闹出的笑话。演员方面没有什么重量级加盟，可能导演也是想给观众一个新鲜感，免得对号入座吧？

Sibling rivalry,gospel, hip-hop, and redemption in this comedy drama set in Harlem USA, 19 July 2005

Author: gumbomedia from United States

Just saw this at the 9th annual American Black Film Festival in Miami, and really enjoyed this -- good acting all round, funny, family-friendly, and beautiful cinematography as well. Harlem's historic and contemporary cultural vibrancy is nicely worked into the scenes (in one scene, Zulu courts a young woman who works at the Studio Museum of Harlem, where they talk in front of Kara Walker's silhouette paintings).

It's an accessible mainstream-type comedy with a lead actor who might be the next Denzel Washington (he's certainly handsome enough, as is the actor who plays his brother).

There's a theme of redemption at work here. Two brothers, one a hip-hop star called Zulu and the other the Baptist preacher at a Harlem church, have had conflict in their relationship for years, but when Zulu's life is endangered as the result of a contract dispute with a record company owner, they have to work through their problems and help each other. The minister brother's church is losing membership and has become stagnant, but Zulu's presence attracts curious teens and Zulu revitalizes the gospel choir. Each brother finds a way to help the other. Lots of entertaining secondary characters, light violence, some sexually suggestive humor (akin to what you might see on many broadcast TV shows).
