Alan Taylor’s second feature, The Emperor’s New Clothes, is a wild leap from the cheap streets of Palookaville(愚人城) to the lavish pomp(华丽)of costume drama. He hurdles the treacherous gap with ease. This is a playful piece of historical swash(泼溅) in which Ian Holm doubles up as Napoleon Bonaparte and a grubby deckhand called Eugene. Their uncanny likeness inspires a daring plan by Boney’ s loyal aides to swop (交换) the two men like pint pots, and smuggle the captive emperor off the island of St Helena and restore him to the throne.
It works well until Napoleon’s escape ship is diverted to Antwerp and his imposter( 冒名顶替的) gets drunk on delusions of grandeur. The twists are. as old as Aesop, and Holm has played the diminutive tyrant enough times to improvise his tics with impunity( 不受惩罚).
But the period detail, so often a hollow distraction, is welded into the melodrama with quiet ingenuity. The image of Napoleon, trundling through the fields of Waterloo, the site of his 1815 humiliation and now a tacky jumble of souvenir stalls, is a bauble (小玩具)worthy of The Antiques Road Show.
Duly humbled by his lowly disguise, and forced to seek the kindness of shapely peasants—notably bly Hjejle’ s fruit seller, Pumpkin--the toppled emperor is made painfully aware of the naked vanity of his own legend. Still, old habits die hard, and Napoleon’s military campaign to keep Pumpkin off the gloomy corners of Paris and turn her ailing watermelon business into Tesco will make the iron shopkeepers of Grantham and Finchley blush with envy. The morals are as pungent as moth- balls; the sentiments spongy and sweet.
This is the inevitable fate of a film that has been carefully springcleaned for family consumption. The lopsided joy is Holm, and his touching, virtuoso turns as both Napoleon and his increasingly unruly imposter. Eugene abuses his spitting image to transform his island prison into a fool’s paradise. The "free" Napoleon realises that only a total lunatic could possibly aspire to be Bonaparte.
Under the Ucertificate flap that reads, "To tame a dictator, all you need is a good peasant and a warm fire", is a ghostly, and surprisingly adult, sense of pathos. [br] The issue of the movie is displayed around ______.
