《安倍逊大族》电影剧本
文/〔美国〕奥逊·威尔斯
译/闻谷
叙事人：安倍逊家族于1873年开始发迹。他们所在的中部地区小镇日渐扩大，发展成房舍林立的城市，在这些年里，他们始终声名显赫，目击了这一切……
在那些日子里，城里凡是穿绸着缎的女人都互相认识……
……凡是有得起车马的人家也都互相摸底。
那时唯一的公共交通工具是街车。……一位夫人在楼窗里对它打个惚哨，它就马上停住，等她关上窗户，穿戴齐整，姗姗下楼，找到阳伞，对女仆吩咐好下一顿的菜单后出门登车。
如今这对我们来说是太慢了

If events had turned out differently, The Magnificent Ambersons, Orson Welles’ second film, might well be widely regarded as “the greatest film of all time” rather than Citizen Kane. But in Welles’ absence, RKO Studios recut the original version of the film mercilessly—Welles said it looked like it had been “edited with a lawn mower”—reducing its running time from 131 to the present 88 minutes. Nevertheless, what survives is still one of the most strikingly beautiful and technically innovative films ever to come out of Hollywood. It also tells a good story—about the decline of a once powerful and wealthy turn-of-the-century Midwestern family—with a conviction and maturity that are rare for the old Hollywood system.
8.0
为纪念影片问世八十周年，导演剪辑版有机会被找回并进行公映，如果有机会，非常希望能一睹全貌。古典乐与民谣不同，后者回应了现实，但前者是超脱的，它脱离此时间，脱离此空间，或其他条件，不能被具体地概括，厚重感又有别于通俗音乐；哪怕这个作品问世在制片公司干涉后，我仍认为它是完美的，只不过它努力的方向与这些美国类型片相反，是《去年在马里昂巴德》那样的作品，而脉络还要更清晰。我也不知道该如何描述这部影片，要么过于细碎，显得我抓不住重彩之处，要么过于宏大，显得我看不出重彩之处
Orson Welles声称这是唯一一部它看过第二遍的自己拍的电影，也就是说这是它自己的“最爱”了。
但我并不认为这是他最好的作品， 这主要还是因为那个其实是被愚蠢的制片方硬梆梆嫁接上去的“大团圆”结局。（据说这还是原著小说的结尾！？）
在我所看过的Orson Welles的所有作品中，它是唯一一部,没有使用很多让人目眩神迷的“交叉蒙太奇”的电影，比前者更难得的是，它居然是一部以感情戏为主的电影！
细腻，温润的让人感觉快要让人认不出来是（Orson Welles的电影了）。
整部影片的（主线）基本上就是详述一个被惯坏的富家子弟大半辈子的人生（心路）历程。扮演“富家子”的Tim Holt在这部电影展现了天才般的演技，他是这部电影的灵魂！（甚至可以说，比导演本人更重要）。
A quintessential archetype of the irreconcilable chasm between studio system’s groupthink and individual’s directorial reign in Hollywood, butchered, reshot, and then cobbled together by RKO studio, THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, the sophomore feature film of Orson Welles, runs about a concise 88 minutes (almost an hour shorter than Welles’ original version, which is allegedly lost forever), bemoans a tampered chef d’oeuvre that should’ve matched the achievement of CITIZE
