    再见,Boston Legal!

    如果你选对了律师,你就拥有这个世界上最好的司法系统。
    ——Ron,Justice
     
    “看了CSI以为所有案子有证据就能搞定
    看了mentalish觉得所没有证据有个心理学专家也能搞定
    看了Boston Legal觉得只要有个好律师什么案子都能搞定
    看了Dexter觉得只要罪犯手段高明谁也搞不定他。”
     
    了解我的朋友都知道我是超级美剧迷,而且是挑剔的
    法律剧对我的吸引最大
    如果不用把法律用到千篇一律的工作,不用把法律用在不健全的社会里
    那么法律很有意思的东西
    记得读大学的时候,就很喜欢看一些关于美国司法体制的案例书
    当好几年前,初涉美国的法律剧,已经觉得Justice足够好看了
    可是当遇上Boston Legal
    尤其在我看了三季以后,依然对新一季充满期待的时候
    我可以说,Boston Legal是我看过最好的两部美剧之一(另一部是House)
    它不像PB,不像24,不像Lost
    看完一两季,你就想问“啥时候才是个头er啊?”
    喜欢House的人很容易喜欢Alan
    喜欢他的才华、正直、善良、勇敢、多情,还有那一丝不可或缺而又恰到好处的痞气
    没有这一丝痞气,他是一个可敬的律师
    而有了这一丝痞气,他就是一个可敬又可怕的律师,对于任何对手甚至法官都是一场灾难
    印象最深的一次是他在最高法院面对九位大法官公然发飙,甚至叫嚣“Who are you people”,继而一通冷嘲热讽
    旁听席上的Sack头疼不已,半天憋出来一句“Dear God”,最绝的是字幕翻译“额滴神啊”,无比传神
    事后Sack在把Alan批评了一通之后,扭捏着一字一顿地说出You. Really. Are. Something.
    就像House MD里House离不开Wilson,Cuddy,还有那三只鸭子
    BL里,围绕在Alan周围的配角(其实不算真正意义上的配角)宛如众星拱月,让整部剧更加异彩纷呈
    其中我最欣赏Jerry,从S2开始登场,可惜才两集就以一种悲情的方式暂时淡出了我们的视线
    不过,从此以后,每次再见,Jerry都让人看到了可喜的进步,一步一步,很慢,但很稳,直到S3最后已堪称惊艳
    到了S5,则趋于成熟和完美了。曾有某网友评论,说若单论辩论的功力,Jerry甚至可以把Alan干掉,我完全同意。

    还有一个更小的配角,Melvin Palmer
    如果说Jerry是一身正气,Alan是正中带邪的话,Palmer可谓邪中带正
    最具代表性的桥段是502,一起强奸案,受害者坚持上诉
    Palmer出任辩方律师,在开打前协调未果并被Katie骂了句“You're disgusting”后说了这么一段话
    You know, Missy, I get that a lot. I’m actually okay with it, which is something you might consider.
     I mean, who wants to subject that poor girl to a disgusting lawyer who’s willing to tear her up,
    and do—perhaps—irreparable psychological damage. I certainly don’t want that. Do you?

    以上是BL中我最喜欢的三个角色,极具个性,有血有肉,可谓整部剧众多精彩角色的缩影
    其他人如Shirley,Carl,Brad,Denise等等,一样出彩,各有拥趸
    但是,我不得不说,我不喜欢Denny。

    除了鲜活的角色和跌宕的剧情,但是我不得不很遗憾地说
    我错过本剧独一无二的亮点——台词
    尤其是每次法庭辩论的结案陈词部分,实在是漂亮,不仅如此,而且赏心悦目
    从大处讲,控辩双方律师你来我往的激辩是锻炼英语辩论能力的绝佳材料
    从小处讲,每一篇结案陈词都是一篇逻辑严密、用词精当、语言地道的上乘作文,用词、句式、起承转合,对于英语写作大有裨益
    试举一例,311(Angel of Death),Alan为一名在飓风灾区帮助病人安乐死的医生辩论,其中一段:
    During that horrendous week, the United States of America was nowhere to be found. My client, Dr. Follette, was to be found. She was there. When the storm hit and the devastating effects started to become clear, and then dire, and then desperate, she stayed. Even when so many others around her were leaving, she stayed with those five patients, each facing an inevitable and imminent, and excruciating death surrounded by pain and suffering and degradation unfathomable to those of us who were not there. She stayed and helped and cared and watched as those five patients slipped quietly into the good night. In a setting that was punishing, cruel, and unusual, her actions were humane. So many people during that terrible time of chaos and desperation seemed to lose . . . themselves. Seemed to lose their innate sense of humanity. Dr. Follette never did. She never did.
    但是很可惜,BL的英文字幕我只找到少量的几集
    即使是一般美国人,也不一定有这样的语言及行文水平
    编剧功力非同一般
    真遗憾!
    今天傍晚,累到死狗一样的我把S5最后一集
    Boston Legal的谢幕还是颇为雷人的
    中国人收购了Crane, Pool & Schimidt
    律所的名字改成了Chang, Pool & Schimidt
    Alan和Denny真的成了Couple(不知道有没有电视台愿意拍Husband & Mad Cow,哈~)
    ……
    总之,有始有终,自从Alan在The Practice S08E01里面亮相,已经过去了六年
    六年来,Alan这个民主党人肚子圆了,越来越不正经了,身旁的美女换了一茬又一茬,各色绯闻女友鱼贯而过
    唯一不变的是“Denny Crane”,每晚的“阳台谈话”,永恒的Mad Cow……

    不知道House又会走多远呢? 下一个season即将拉开帷幕了呢!Cameron和Chase要回归主角行列了,Foreman也可以担正了,都是托House进了精神病院的福。。。
