《亡者归来》第二季剧情梗概:
居住在阿卡迪亚市(Arcadia)的人们就遇到了这种「亡者归来」的怪事,他们的生活从此被彻底改变。一个八岁的美国小男孩(Landon Gimenez)独自一人在中国偏远农村的一片稻田里醒来,没人知道他的身份,也没人知道他是怎么到的那里。这个自称Jacob的男孩回忆说,他是个美国人,居住在密苏里州的阿卡迪亚市。美国移民、归化及海关执法局的Martin Bellamy探员(Omar Epps)将Jacob接回了美国,并将他送到阿卡迪亚市求证他的身份。Martin并不相信所谓的「神秘回归」,他怀疑非法拐卖儿童才是事实。Jacob所说的「家」现在住着一对年逾六旬的老夫妻——Henry Langston(Kurtwood Smith)和Lucille Langston(Frances Fisher)。他们的确有个儿子名叫Jacob,但他们的儿子在三十年前的一次事故中已经不幸溺亡。尽管年迈的Henry和Lucille看上去样貌已经大变,但Jacob依然记得他们是自己的亲生父母。但那怎么可能?站在他们面前的这个孩子不仅看起来像小时候的Jacob,而且知道所有过去的生活细节——除非他就是Jacob本人,否则不可能有人知道那些事情。难道这是一个精心设计的骗局?。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。
