Ekwing 电影 | 《神奇动物在哪里》: 比怪兽更可怕的是人类
带着哈迷们的期待，《神奇动物在哪里》强势来袭。毫无意外的，《神奇动物在哪里》不仅刷爆朋友圈而且票房也是一路飘红。在北美地区上映十天总票房1.56亿美元，在中国地区上映十天票房已过5亿。
今天，翼课君就跟大家唠唠这部电影。
《神奇动物在哪里》是JK罗琳在《哈利波特》系列之后推出的新的魔法故事。电影延续《哈利波特》系列电影原班人马，JK罗琳担任编剧，导演则是执导了《哈利·波特》系列后四部的David Yates 。
Eddie Redmayne will play Scamander, who's described as an eccentric wizard, much more comfortable around magical creatures than he is around people.
埃迪·雷德梅恩饰演斯卡曼德，他是一位不同寻常的魔法师，因为比起和人相处，他觉得与魔法生物们在一起更自在些。
Katherine Waterston, best known for her breakout in Inherent Vice and Steve Jobs, will play his love interest Porpentina, an ambitious and idealistic young woman working for MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America).
凯瑟琳·沃特森因出演《性本恶》和《史蒂夫·乔布斯》而出名，将出演斯卡曼德的爱人波尔蓬蒂娜，她是一位满怀雄心壮志且理想主义的年轻女性，为美国魔法国会工作。
黑魔法师格林德沃在欧洲掀起了一股针对魔法界的打击报复后，神奇动物学家纽特·斯卡曼德带着一箱子的神奇动物来到纽约寻找其他的一些神奇动物，不仅是有神奇动物从箱子里跑出四散，且纽约街头出现了神秘的、破坏力极强的神秘生物……
为了不剧透，翼课君这里就不多说了，到底最后结果是什么，大家看过就知道了。

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is Rowling's debut screenplay, and she said that, in comparison to writing a novel, she really, really, really enjoyed it.
《神奇动物在哪里》是罗琳的电影剧本处女作。比起写小说，她认为自己真的、真的很喜欢写剧本。
Rowling was in constant communication with Yates and serial Potter-producers Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram. She would then: "depart for her hotel and spent two nights at her keyboard, returning having not slept but rewritten huge portions of the script, sometimes producing an entirely new draft."
罗琳与叶茨、哈利.波特系列电影制作人史蒂夫.克劳夫和莱昂纳尔.威格拉姆不断沟通后，便“赶回酒店，花上两晚不眠不休地码字，又将剧本的大部分重写，有时还会创作出全新的剧本初稿。”
It took just 16 weeks to create Manhattan's Lower East Side, TriBeCa and the Diamond District in 1926 in a studio an hour north of London.
距伦敦以北一小时车程有一间制片厂，工作人员仅用了16周就在那里搭建起1926年时的曼哈顿下东区、特里贝克地区以及钻石区。
The same attention to detail was given to the office space of the MACUSA, where Tina and Queenie Goldstein work - 80 bespoke desks were designed and built and chairs were imported from the US for the set.
工作人员对美国魔法国会布景的细节处理同样一丝不苟，他们为蒂娜和奎妮的办公室设计制作了80台定制桌子，而椅子是从美国进口的。
Both are orphans, adopted into loveless families and thrown into the paths of a struggle between good and dark magic.
他们都是孤儿，都被冷漠的家庭收养，都被卷入正义和黑暗魔法之间的较量。
Producer David Heyman indicated that Credence's character and the struggles we see him go through in the film are a metaphor for the dangers of repression.
制片人大卫.海曼表示，克雷登斯这个角色以及片中他的遭遇都象征着压抑情感的危害。
对于这样大热的电影，国外媒体人竟然是从政治角度解读这部电影，快来看看他们是怎么说的吧！
《纽约时报》是这样说的
In‘Fantastic Beasts,’Rowling Cloaks Politics in a Tale of Magic
《神奇动物》是在披着魔法外衣谈政治
The thoroughly British series here moves across the Atlantic and back in time to 1926 New York, when the city was riven by many of the same social fault lines of the current political moment, like extreme income inequality and xenophobia.
这部英国电影不惜跨越大西洋将背景设在了1926年的纽约。当时这个城市被种种社会问题所割裂，比如收入严重不均和仇外情绪，这些问题在现在的社会政治议题中同样存在。
《每日电讯报》用了这样的标题
Fantastic Beasts is JK Rowling’s manifesto disguised as a blockbuster. But is it fantasy?
《神奇动物》是罗琳用大片特效打造的政治宣言，但这是一种幻想吗？
