太空堡垒卡拉狄加：计划

很多人不理解这部电影的点，这个不能当成一部原创科幻电影来看，处处是为原电视剧服务的，好比一个大大的补丁包。转一篇IMDB的影评，解释得比较充分，有空我再翻译。总之，没看过电视剧，别看这个电影！！！

------------------------------------------------

First of all let me get one thing straight, this is in no way an original Battlestar Galatica story. Razor had a story that centered around a new character and told a somewhat self-contained story. This is almost the complete opposite; no relevant new characters, no truly new plot lines. This film is essentially a side story of the original two seasons. It deals with the attack on the colonies and the subsequent invasion and pursuit of Galactica from the point of view of the Cylons; not just the original 8 models but also the final five.

The main character is actually Brother Cavil, in two different forms one on Caprica and one on-board Galatica. We see that Cavil plays a crucial role in orchestrating the Cylon events on the Galactica, while his Caprica counterpart takes the role of a distant observer to the struggling band of survivors on Caprica.

What I really liked about this movie is that it kind of ties everything together. It retreads the old plot lines of the first two seasons, but knowing the revelations to take place it puts everything in a different light. It also explores the intense cruelty and duality of Cavil. Additionally, some of the plot lines that were never quite clear, begin to make sense. (How did Leobin know so much about Kara? Where Valeri's actions intentional?) There are three issue that I can foresee someone having with this. The first being, that some might feel it being a retcon of the first two seasons to connects the events of the fourth. While this might be somewhat true, I don't think it takes anything away from them, and if you liked the fourth season it adds something significant to it. The second issue is that it is a retread. We already know exactly what happens to all these characters. But I don't think that the compelling part of this is what happens so much as why it happens, and what feelings and emotions are fueling the Cylons. The third is that there are basically no space battles to be seen here. There is a great opening sequence where we get a much more in depth look at the destruction of the colonies, but for a show called Battlestar Galatica we might expect some space jockey action.

I am not a prude but I must say that after seeing the unrated DVD, there is a bit of gratuitous nudity. Not that I had a problem with it, so to say, but it felt a little out of place, like it was trying to be a little shocking. Maybe it was just trying to give us a taste of what the show would have been like on HBO, i dunno just felt a little tacked on.

Overall this is a great companion piece to the series, does not feel entirely necessary but at the same time doesn't feel like it didn't need to be in the first place.

      肯定的说，这部电影是部冷饭。估计会看的人和能看懂的人都是BSG的粉丝吧，而这本身就是一部小众的美剧，其节奏的缓慢和纠结估计很多人也不会喜欢。

    但是这样一部美剧，其粉丝也都是死忠级的，对于其也不乏溢美之词。我个人认为，一部美剧，折射出一个微缩的小社会，讲述种种人性之中的挣扎，实为佳作。

    而这部片子，回到故事的起初，将编剧们随行写出的情节串到一起演绎，而且基本自圆其说，对于编剧本身就是个考验。至于字里行间流露出的那种对于爱的思考，虽然是老生常谈的话题，仍然让人觉得温暖。

    科幻界一直就有这样的命题，区分人类和机器人的分界线是什么？在今年一片骂声的终结者4中也是这样的话题。在这里如是。一个机器人，在人类社会生活了这么多年，深刻的受到人类的感染。这里不说一直当自己是人类的FINAL FIVE的表现，这也不是片中重点描述的部分。这里说的更多的是所谓的卧底六人行，布玛尔对阿达玛德感情，原创的西蒙医生对妻女的感情，那个应该是2号（我记不清了）对卡拉的感情，种种的感情让他们做出的抉择，是相当让人耐人寻味的。

     当机器人融入人类社会后，真的就是一名人类了。其实现在人类所能歌颂的，也就是所谓的人类独有的感情了。不过看起这样的片子，总是能想起当年一集一集追的时候的辛苦，想起当年经常看的热泪盈眶的感情。
    所以，感谢编剧们。你们用心的炒了次冷饭，但是我觉得，我真的回想起了那份对BSG的爱情。

初接触此剧，好似5.12地震过后数日，离开学校到同学“家”避险，他正用BT下载此剧，陪着看了三两集，为之吸引，后来不知用了好久陆续补看全了。
最近打算重温。
昨下午看了《计划》，印象最深的却是那个躲在牧师舱房，在吃苹果时被牧师刺死的叫约翰的小男孩。
开始我不明白为何编剧单单设定了这一小角色：不过三次出场，前后不过3分钟。后来藉由牧师那句：朋友有时候是危险的，算是多少开了点窍。可能是为了突出赛昂一号牧师完全仇恨人类的心理吧。
不过，小男孩身世着实可怜：第一次出场，从与牧师对话中知道他非战争遗孤，父母健在却不要他；第二次出场是急不可耐地吞食牧师给他的饭，好像饿了数日；第三次出场：找来一只苹果，和牧师分食，却惨遭毒手。
这实在是一个小角色。刚开始有这个想法时，想以小看大，探讨小人物在人类几近绝望处境下的命运。
 
另：播出一季被砍的前传《卡布里卡》，很喜欢剧中扮演赛昂人始祖、叫佐伊的女演员，或是因为她那有点婴儿肥的圆脸。尤其是某集现实中和虚拟中的佐伊见面时的形象还有那光调。很遗憾此剧被砍。

The Plan和卡拉迪加的正剧的关系，有点像是《父辈的旗帜》和《硫磺岛的来信》之间的关系。从Cylon的视角去审视整个战争，从头至尾。但是，整部片子粗糙不已，更像是《Galactica》的一个reference book。也许编剧对于Cylon的思想，宗教挖掘的还不够吧。最主要的还是表现在五个先知的自省和挣扎之上，至尾，也没有触及Cylon和人类合作的纠结。觉得就是草草了事而已。
