回复 :南方某部队文工团杂技团,有一群穿校官服的小文艺兵,别看他们个个都有一手绝技,飞车、顶碗、变魔 术……样样精通,但毕竟都是十几岁的孩子。为了使他们尽快地熟悉部队生活,得到锻炼,师部决定让杂技团下放连队生活一段时间。在紧张的军事训练中,某团标 兵侦察连接到师部批示准备迎接文工团的到来,可万万没有想到来了一群娃娃兵。只见他们拿着各种杂技道具蹦蹦跳跳地下了车,本来十分安静的营房立即热闹起 来。军事训练是很艰苦、很严格的,从来没有下过连队的小兵们没少出洋相,有时也真让人哭笑不得。早上集合出操,一起床就手忙脚乱,不是这个穿 错了衣服,就是那个戴歪了帽子。做起操来,动作简直是五花八门。尤其是那个调皮的许哆哆,别看她有个音乐味的名字,实际上却是个活泼好动的假小子。练兵场 上,谁也没想到她会开心地爬上了训练绳的端,急得战士们拉起军毯准备掉下来时接住她,夜晚,她竟然异想天开,带着比她还小的小兵们溜到海边去游泳。还有那 个弹琵琶的胖英,贪睡又好吃零食,总是一副大大咧咧的样子……。连长陈虎山是个带兵有方的干部,他本人又喜爱音乐、美术,在连队还组建了一支管弦乐队。可 这次面对一群杂技小演员竟急一阵恼一阵地没有了办法。经过师长的帮助,他认识到从思想上、作风上把这些军队的后代带好,也是十分有意义的工作。为此,他决 定采取启发式的教育方法,提高小兵们的觉悟。他带领杂技团的小兵们访问渔村。这个村的老渔民祁阿公有个孙子叫小虾,当年在陈虎山当班长的班里当兵,虎山喜 爱他,在训练时总是照顾他。到了自卫反击战时,小虾因缺乏锻炼,结果在与敌人徒手搏斗时牺牲了。小虾的死对陈虎山教育很大,打那以后,他对战士的要求可严 了。小兵们听了这件事以后才明白,连长平时严格要求他们正是为了爱护他们。一天深夜,连长突然吹起紧急集合的哨子,小兵们迅速地集合完毕,连长宣布要到三 号地区抓两个可疑分子。由于平时进行了训练,这次行动中大家都表现得非常机智、勇敢。他们利用杂技特长克服了急行军中的一个个困难,许哆哆和夏安安、于小 菲经过搏斗,将一个可疑的"黑汉"抓住了,原来"黑汉"就是连长假扮的。连长看到小兵们进步这样快,非常高兴。不久,侦察连奉命即将出发去执行一项特殊任 务。杂技团的小兵们也圆满地完成了下连当兵的任务,他们依依不舍地离开了侦察连,离开了难忘的营房。
回复 :In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.
