10個受真實事件啓發的荒唐電影情節(下)

5．Taxi Driver

5．《出租車司機》

Hailed as one of the greatest films of all time, Taxi Driver tells the story of a depressed ex-Marine who attempts to assassinate a senator after being rejected by a woman he admires. While the titular taxi driver, Travis Bickle, lives a chaotic life filled with drug dealers and prostitutes, his story was never meant to be an unrealistic fantasy. Rather, it meant to expose the very real warning signs of a would-be gunman.

《出租車司機》被譽爲歷史上最偉大的電影之一，講述了一名沮喪的前海軍陸戰隊員，在被愛慕的女子拒絕後，試圖暗殺參議員的故事。名義上的出租車司機崔維斯·拜寇，生活混亂，充斥着毒販和妓女，但他的故事從來不是不現實的幻想。相反，它揭示了一個人差點成爲成爲槍手的真實預警。

The film pulls heavily from the life of Arthur Bremer, who shot presidential candidate and segregationist George Wallace in 1972. Similarly to his film counterpart, Bremer shot Wallace shortly after being rebuffed by a young girl. Overall, though, his life was much less exciting than that of De Niro's character, with the biggest commonality between the two being that neither actually succeeds in killing a politician.

影片大量借鑑了亞瑟·布雷默的事蹟，此人於1972年槍擊了總統候選人和隔離主義者喬治·華萊士。與電影中一樣，布雷默槍擊華萊士也是在被一個年輕女孩拒絕後不久。儘管如此，他的生活總的來說不如德尼羅的角色那麼激動人心，他倆最大的共同點，就是都沒有真的殺死目標。

4．The Mask Of Zorro

4．《佐羅的面具》

In this 1998 swashbuckler classic, Antonio Banderas plays the protege of a boring nobleman who moonlights as a masked outlaw, saving the Mexican commoners of California from corrupt leaders. While Zorro might sound like a regular old-timey superhero, the story upon which The Mask of Zorro is based pulls heavily from legends surrounding a real-life desperado named Joaquin Murietta.

在這部1998年的古裝劍俠動作電影中，安東尼奧·班德拉斯扮演了一個無聊的貴族，他有時會扮成蒙面歹徒，從腐敗領導人手中拯救加州的墨西哥平民。雖然佐羅聽起來可能像個普通的老派超級英雄，但是《佐羅的面具》依據的故事大部分來源於現實世界中，一個叫喬伊·穆裏埃塔的亡命之徒。

Murietta belonged to a gang known as the Five Joaquins, who were notorious bandits during the height of the California Gold Rush. While Murietta's criminal activity likely did not have any political undertones, he nonetheless became a symbol of Mexican resistance as American settlers ventured to California. Unfortunately for him, this pushed the government to put a bounty on his head, leading to his murder and beheading. Luckily, Banderas's character didn't fall to the same fate.

穆裏埃塔屬於一個叫“五皇后”的黑幫，他們是加州淘金熱的高潮期間，臭名昭著的土匪。雖然穆裏埃塔的犯罪行爲可能沒有任何政治色彩，他還是隨着來到加州投機的美國定居者，成了墨西哥抵抗的象徵。對他而言，這可不是什麼好事，而是促使政府懸賞他的人頭，導致他被殺和斬首。幸運的是，班德拉斯的角色沒有遭到同樣的命運。

3．50 First Dates

3．《初戀50次》

A lighthearted rom-com starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore is the last thing you'd expect to mirror real life, but this comedy was in fact partially based on a true story. Sandler plays a veterinarian who falls in love with Barrymore, an amnesiac whose memory resets at the beginning of each day. He learns that Barrymore has replayed the same day over and over again since a car crash left her with a traumatic bRain injury. Upset by the lie she has been living, Sandler's character makes a series of videos that explain her accident and her life for her to watch each morning.

這部亞當·桑德勒和德魯·巴里摩爾主演的輕鬆浪漫喜劇，似乎最不能反映現實生活，但實際上它確實部分基於真實故事。桑德勒扮演的獸醫愛上了巴里摩爾，而她的記憶每天都會重置。他了解到，車禍造成創傷性腦損傷後，她就一直在重播同一天。因爲她一直生活在謊言中，桑德勒的角色很苦惱，並製作了一系列錄像，解釋她的車禍和生活，給她每天早上看。

Barrymore's condition was based on the real life of Michelle Philpots, who suffered head trauma in two separate motor vehicle accidents, which left her with a 24-hour memory. Rather than using Sandler's tapes, Philpots has survived for over 23 years using Post-it notes and her (amazingly modern, from her perspective) mobile phone.

巴里摩爾的病情基於米歇爾·菲利普斯的真實生活，她的頭部在在兩次機動車事故中受傷，記憶只能維持24小時。桑德勒用錄像帶，菲利普斯則是用便利貼和手機（對她而言還真時髦）撐了23年。

2．Rocky

2．《洛奇》

Stallone's iconic underdog has spent decades inspiring athletes and nonathletes alike to fight for their goals. As a poor local boxer, Rocky gets his break when he enters a fight with World Heavyweight Champion Apollo Creed. Due to his rigorous training and Creed's relative apathy, Rocky becomes the first challenger to ever push Creed through all 15 rounds.

幾十年來，史泰龍塑造的這個弱者形象一直在鼓舞人們爲目標奮鬥，他們中既有運動員又有非運動員。洛奇是當地一名貧窮的拳擊手，因與世界重量級冠軍阿波羅·祈利比試而嶄露頭角。由於祈利的嚴格訓練和相對無情，洛奇成了第一個與他打上15回合的挑戰者。

This groundbreaking fight is loosely based on a bout between Chuck Wepner and Muhammad Ali, in which the "everyman" Wepner managed to become one of the four men to knock Ali down in his career. Just like in the film, Wepner pushed Ali through 15 rounds despite looking (and feeling) like he'd been hit by a truck. While both he and Rocky ended up losing their fights on a technicality, Wepner wins in our book for inspiring such an awesome character.

這次奠基之戰借鑑了查克·溫柏和拳王阿里的比賽，這個無名小卒溫柏成了在阿里的職業生涯中擊倒過他的區區4人之一。和電影裏一樣，溫柏與阿里打了15回合，儘管他看起來（感覺也）像被卡車撞過。雖然他和洛奇最後都被對手技術性擊倒，但溫柏勝在啓發了史泰龍塑造這個了不起的角色。

1．Rain Man

1．《雨人》

In this emotional comedic drama, a selfish car dealer named Charlie Babbitt learns that he has a brother after his estranged father dies. He is upset to learn that said brother, Raymond, received his father's $3 million estate despite living with severe autism that has left him in a mental institution. Charlie learns that Raymond is a savant with outstanding capabilities for mental math and takes advantage of this skill by using Raymond to count cards in Vegas.

在這部感人的喜劇中，在久未聯絡的父親去世後，自私的汽車經銷商查理·巴比特瞭解到自己還有個哥哥。他很不高興地發現，這個叫雷蒙德的哥哥因爲嚴重自閉住在精神病院，卻獲得了父親300萬美元的遺產。查理髮現哥哥心算很厲害，就利用他在拉斯維加斯賭博時數牌。

While the real Rain Man never counted cards, his mental abilities were just as unbelievable. Kim Peek was a uniquely talented savant who possessed a nearly perfect memory. Among his many skills, Peek memorized every road on the map, the composers and dates of countless songs, and incredibly detailed historic facts. After Rain Man, he spent his life touring the country and campaigning for the disabled, to the delight of many who were able to witness his unique gift in person.

雨人的原型沒數過牌，但腦力也很出衆。金·皮克是個獨一無二的天才，擁有近乎完美的記憶。他豐富的技能包括記住地圖上的每一條路，無數歌曲的作曲家和日期，以及詳細得令人難以置信的的歷史事實。《雨人》出名後，皮克將畢生投入到在美國各地奔走，爲殘疾人發起活動，用自己的獨特天賦鼓舞他們。
