节录几则影评，给雅琪。

It's the latest line item on Disney's bid to redo its entire animated
library, and it never feels motivated by anything other than corporate
interests. It's flat, dramatically vacant and visually inert, with a lead
performance that all too closely resembles a fish out of water.
迪士尼努力重制整个动画库，其最新专案就是小美人鱼，而除了企业利益之外，
没有任何其他动机。这部片扁平不立体、空虚到夸张、视觉上没有活力，
还有主角的表演实在太如鱼不得水。
That's Halle Bailey of musical duo Chloe x Halle in the lead role, and she's
in entirely over her head as Ariel, a mermaid who is enamored with the world
above sea level and wants to become human. At least that's what we're told
and we remember from the original, as Bailey occasionally smiles and bats her
eyes but is incapable of making audiences feel any emotion in her character's
journey. The 2-D animated Ariel had greater depth and more soul behind her
eyes than Bailey is able to muster.
来自音乐双人组 Chloe x Halle 的海蛎贝蜊正是那个主角，她完全陷入爱丽儿这个
爱上陆地并且想要变成人类的人鱼角色之中了。至少我们是这样被告知的，而且看过
原版的我们一定记得这件事。海蛎偶尔笑一下、眨眨眼，但还是无法让观众感受到她
所扮演的角色的一丝情感。比起海蛎，二维动画里的爱丽儿的双眼更有深度也更有灵魂。

这篇没有正面称赞海蛎的声音，只有提到让海蛎无声是臭棋。

It reeks of obligation and noble intentions. Joy, fun, mystery, risk, flavor,
kink — they’re missing. The movie’s saying, “We tried!” Tried not to
offend, appall, challenge, imagine.
它散发著一股义务味和崇高意涵。欢乐、乐趣、神秘、风险、味道、纠结——它们都不见
了。电影像是在说：“我们努力过了！”尽量不冒犯、不吓人、不挑战、不发挥想像力。

Now Ariel is in the singer Halle Bailey’s hands. And it's not that she can't
keep par with the original’s illustrators. It’s that this movie isn’t
asking her to. It takes the better part of an hour for the flesh-and-blood
Ariel to go mute. And when she does, whatever carbonation Bailey had to begin
with goes flat. This Ariel has amnesia about needing that kiss, taking “
cunning” off the table for Bailey, too.
现在爱丽儿被交给海蛎贝蜊这个歌手来演。不是她不能跟原版人设一样，事实上这部电影
就没有要求她如此。有血有肉的爱丽儿被噤声超过半个小时，在此期间，无论海蛎有多强
的爆发力都只能流于平淡。这个爱丽儿对于她需要那个亲亲非常健忘，而这也把“俏皮”
这个特质从海蛎身上抽掉了。
With her sister, Bailey is half of the R&B duo Chloe x Halle. They’ve got a
chilling, playful approach to melody that Bailey can’t fully unleash in this
movie. For one thing, she’s got two songs, one of which — the standard “
Part of Your World” — does manage to let her quaver some toward the end.
But what’s required of her doesn’t differ radically from what Jodi Benson
did in the first movie. Ostensibly, though, Bailey has been cast because her
Ariel would differ. Bailey’s is Black, with long copper hair that twists,
waves and locks. Racially, the whole movie’s been, what, opened up?
Diversified? Now, Ariel’s rueful daddy, King Triton, is played by a stolid
Javier Bardem, who does all the king’s lamenting in Spanish-inflected
English. Instead of the Broadway chorines of the original, her mermaid
siblings are a multiethnic, runway-ready General Assembly.
海蛎是节奏蓝调双人组 Chloe x Halle 的半身，另一半是她姊姊。两人合力演唱时的
旋律悠闲而且活泼有趣，但海蛎在片中无法完全展现。她有两首歌，其一就是那首
标准的“Part of Your World”，有让她在最后发挥颤音。但是对她的要求与当年原版
电影中对茱蒂班森的要求没有什么很大的不同，虽然表面上来说，海蛎被选上是因为她
的爱丽儿会有所不同。海蛎是黑人，有着卷曲、波浪、扎成脏辫的古铜色长发。就种族
而言，整部电影好像，怎么说呢，很开放？很多样化？爱丽儿她那个后悔的父亲，川顿
国王，由冷淡的哈维尔巴登饰演并用西班牙腔的英语发出感叹。而与百老汇舞台上的歌
舞团也不同，她的人鱼姊姊们是多种族的，随时可以开联合国大会。
=====
这篇对音乐的出发点还算有趣，像是对黄种人饶舌感到有点不适之类的。
然后他其实一直在替海蛎打抱不平。

Speaking of tropical seas, this is very much the Caribbean, not Denmark, like
the Hans Christian Andersen original or the vague Europe of the animated
feature. While casting Halle Bailey as a Black Ariel raised some eyebrows,
and debating the race of a character that is half fish is a task for the
bowels of the internet, transposing the action to the early 19th century in
the Caribbean is a wild choice.
都提到热带海域了，这很大程度像是加勒比海，不是安徒生原著的丹麦或原版动画的
架空欧洲。虽然让海蛎出演爱黧儿的确令人吃惊，至于争论半鱼半人的角色种族则是
网络空间里的事项，但把整部片搬到十九世纪初期的加勒比海真的太疯狂了。
The nobility all have English accents (including his Black mother, white
Prince Eric is adopted, because sure), while the locals have Caribbean
accents, drink from coconuts and play steel drums. There’s something
unintentionally hilarious to having our little Black mermaid falling in love
with a handsome Prince who talks endlessly about increasing the Caribbean
island’s trade with Portugal and Brazil because, erm… what are you trading
there, buddy?
贵族全都使用英国腔（包括王子的黑人妈），而当地人都操著加勒比口音、喝着椰子水、
打着钢鼓。英俊的王子无止尽地谈论著如何增加加勒比海岛与葡萄牙和巴西的交易，虽然
不是故意的，但让小黑人鱼爱上这样的英俊王子似乎很可笑，因为，呃……到底你们在
交易啥鬼啊？
=====
下一段的第一个字就是错字，我笑死。川顿国王的角色名变成 Titan 了～
这篇的重点是捧女主角并且说设定烂死了、太奇怪了，然后瑜不掩瑕这样。
=====
影评真的求生欲望都很强烈。
当然，有黑人血统的的确也对海蛎更友善，即使给负评也都一定是错不在她。
但总归是有人努力批评女主角演技了。
