《南海白影》是1928年的一部剧情片。由罗伯特·弗拉哈迪执导,蒙蒂·布卢、瑞秋·托里斯、罗伯特·安德森等联袂主演。南海白影,又名White Shadows in the South Seas。It still doesn't cease to amaze me how some Silent Movies, dramas or comedies, catch my attention so much, getting me so immersed in the plot, thus making me forget I'm watching a silent, an antique, a piece of history, enjoying the movie as I'd do with any "talking" movie. In this case, the images are so real (it was filmed on location) and so hauntingly beautiful, that make many later Hollywood films from the 1940's or 1950's, which depict "South Seas Life" look unreal, fake, notwithstanding their possible entertainment value. There's so much truth in this morality photo-play about a white man, identified as a "derelict" of the South Seas, previously a doctor, who finds "Paradise on Earth" (peace, love & happiness), on a certain island of the Polynesia. Monte Blue is great as this "white man". Most of the featured players of the film, one realizes, are real natives from the islands, and this adds so much truth to the storyline. Beautiful actress Raquel Torres, does not seem (IMHO) out of place at all as Monte Blue's native love interest. And Robert Anderson is a very nasty villain. There are some awesome underwater sequences, featuring octopuses, sharks, pearl-diving and others featuring palm-climbing, dancing, etc. Notice the different tinting (reddish, blue, sepia ...) of the sequences of the film; only at the beginning and on the end, plain black and white is used. Great Sound score for this late "silent film", the first used for a MGM film and the first time Leo-the-Lion roared! The original South-Sea Islands Film. Excellent.

影迷点评:
Janreader 说:毛利族三部曲之二│弗拉哈迪参与编导,从成片和他的遭遇看,这位有着独特摄制理念的导演,是好莱坞刚成规的制片人制的牺牲品。表现毛利人生活的内容与《摩阿拿》雷同,叙事(白人文明的侵入)则是白人本位,引入艳情奇遇与奇迹等滥情元素,矫揉造作,表现主义风格明显。不属于真正有声电影,后期配音。
HurryShit 说:水中攝影,鯊魚,採珍珠的危險。進入土著樂園的自主攝影機運動(有個土著盪向攝影機,有3D的fu…)。White Gods。開場是黑白(白人統治),中段主要染金色、多柔焦,末段男主角死掉、"White Shadows…White Shadows…"字卡後切回慘淡的黑白畫面(女主角則換上白人衣服)。erotic,如那場肉慾的指壓。
JANn_n 说:沿用了大部分摩拉湾里表现土著生活的元素,摩拉湾是半纪实,镜头表现朴素。南海白影则是导演们更进一步的追求,用影像表现一个戏剧性的、充满想象创作的故事,一部剧情电影。镜头语言更丰富成熟,且用带有色彩心理暗示的色调表现各段落的故事,增强了影像所渲染的情绪。
