百年50部英文燒腦電影賞析:[16]Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 哈利·波特與火焰杯

Now fourteen years old, Harry Potter(Daniel Radcliffe)dreams of an elderly man, Frank Bryce(Eric Sykes), who is killed after overhearing Lord Voldemort discussing plans with Peter “Wormtail” Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr.(David Tennant). The Quidditch World Cup allows Harry to take his mind off his nightmares until followers of Voldemort known as Death Eaters terrorise the spectators' campsites after the match, and Crouch Jr. summons the Dark Mark, a sign showing that Voldemort is returning to power.

At Hogwarts, headmaster Albus Dumbledore(Michael Gambon)introduces ex-Auror Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. In their first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, the students learn of the three Unforgivable Curses. The Imperius Curse causes absence of free will, the Cruciatus Curse causes unbearable pain, and the final curse, Avada Kedavra, causes death. Dumbledore announces that the school will host the Triwizard Tournament, in which one wizard from each of the three magical schools competes in three challenges. The champions are selected by the Goblet of Fire, a magical cup into which the candidates' names are placed. Fred and George attempt to enter using an aging potion as no one under 17 can enter. This fails miserably. Cedric Diggory, a student from the House of Hufflepuff, is chosen to represent Hogwarts, Viktor Krum(Stanislav lanevski)is chosen to represent Durmstrang Institute, and Fleur Delacour is selected to represent Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. The Goblet unexpectedly chooses a fourth champion: Harry. As Harry is underage and should have been ineligible to compete, Hogwarts teachers and students grow suspicious, and the feat drives Ron Weasley(Rupert Grint)and Harry apart. The teachers want Dumbledore to pull Harry out of the tournament, but the four champions are bound by a magical contract and therefore Dumbledore has no choice and Harry must compete.

For the first task of the Triwizard Tournament, each of the champions must retrieve a golden egg guarded by a dragon. Mad-Eye advises Harry to use his talent for flying to overcome the dragon. Harry enters the first task and summons his broomstick to retrieve the egg, which contains information about the second challenge. The students are soon informed of the Yule Ball a Christmas Eve ball held during the Triwizard Tournament. Ron and Harry have trouble finding dates to the ball and when they find out that Hermione(Emma Waston)is attending with Viktor Krum, Ron becomes jealous.

In exchange for previous aid, Cedric provides Harry with a clue that prompts him to open the egg underwater. With help from Moaning Myrtle, he learns that the second task entails the retrieval of “something precious” to each of the competitors from the nearby Black Lake, where there are mermaids. While preparing for the task, Neville Longbottom provides Harry with Gillyweed, enabling him to breathe underwater for one hour. Harry is the first to arrive at the location, and finds Ron, Hermione, Cho Chang(Katie Leung)and Fleur's sister, Gabrielle, in suspended animation. Finishing last after attempting to free Ron and Gabrielle, Harry is awarded second place for “outstanding moral fiber”，behind Cedric.

Following an exchange with Mad-Eye, Ministry official Barty Crouch, Sr. is found dead by Harry shortly after the second task. While waiting in Dumbledore's office, Harry's curiosity leads him to look into Dumbledore's pensieve, causing him to revisit one of Dumbledore's memories. He witnesses a trial before the Wizengamot in which captured Death Eater lgor Karkaroff, the current headmaster of Durmstrang, denounces a number of Death Eaters, including both Severus Snape and Barty Crouch Jr. While Dumbledore vouches for Snape's integrity, Crouch Sr, is horrified at this revelation and disowns his maniacal son, sending him to Azkaban. Upon returning to the present time, Dumbledore tells Harry that he is searching his memories for a clue as to why extraordinary events have taken place at Hogwarts since the start of the tournament.

In the Triwizard Tournament's third and final task, the competitors are placed inside a hedge maze; their challenge is to reach the Triwizard Cup. Krum, acting under the Imperius curse, incapacitates Fleur and attempts to do the same to Cedric. Harry stops Cedric from attacking Krum, and the two run for the cup. When Cedric is trapped by vines, Harry frees him and the two claim a draw and grab hold of the cup together.

The cup, which is a Portkey, transports the two champions to a graveyard where Wormtail and Voldemort are waiting for Harry. Wormtail murders Cedric, traps Harry, then performs a ritual that rejuvenates Voldemort, who then summons the Death Eaters(which includes Draco's father, Lucius)and bids them to witness a duel between their Dark Lord and his nemesis. As Harry, who is tortured by Voldemort, fights him, a connection called Priori Incantatem occurs between their wands. Harry's wand forces Voldemort's to disgorge the spirits of the people Voldemort has most recently murdered, including Harry's parents, Frank Bryce and Cedric. Harry is briefly protected by the spirits and escapes with Cedric's body(as his request)using the cup.

Upon his return, Harry tells Dumbledore and Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge that Voldemort has returned and is responsible for Cedric's death. Mad-Eye leads a devastated Harry back to the castle, where his questions make Harry suspicious. Mad- Eye reveals it was he who put Harry's name in the Goblet, assisted Cedric and Neville in helping Harry, cursed Krum and so on. Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall arrive and force Veritaserum, a truth-telling potion down Mad-Eye，s throat. He reveals he is not Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody and the real one is imprisoned in a magical trunk minus his magical eye and fake leg. The false Mad-Eye's Polyjuice Potion(Snape earlier accused Harry of stealing ingredients)wears off and he is revealed as Barty Crouch Jr., who shows a pulsing Dark Mark tattoo on his forearm meaning Voldemort's returned.

Soon after, students and staff of Hogwarts, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons gather in the Great Hall to say farewell to Cedric. Dumbledore exhorts them to stand together against Voldemort, as the representatives from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons leave Hogwarts.

14歲的哈利·波特(丹尼爾·雷德克里夫飾)做了一個(gè)夢，夢中一位老人法蘭克·布萊斯(埃里克·塞克斯飾)，因偷聽伏地魔和“蟲尾巴”小矮星彼得、小巴蒂·克勞奇(大衛(wèi)·蒂納特飾)在討論計(jì)劃而遇害?？仄媸澜绫尮辉偃ハ胨呢瑝?，但到比賽結(jié)束后，被稱為食死徒的伏地魔追隨者出現(xiàn)，恐嚇觀眾的營地，克勞奇又召喚出黑魔標(biāo)記，這個(gè)跡象表明，伏地魔恢復(fù)勢力了。

在霍格華茲，阿布思·鄧布利多校長(邁克爾·剛本飾)介紹前任傲羅“瘋眼”阿拉斯特·穆迪作為新任的黑魔法防御術(shù)老師。在他們第一次的黑魔法防御術(shù)課上，學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)了三大不可饒恕咒：奪魂咒導(dǎo)致人失去自由意志，鉆心咒導(dǎo)致難以忍受的痛苦，最后的阿瓦達(dá)索命見會(huì)讓人立即斃命。鄧布利多宣布，學(xué)校即將舉行三強(qiáng)爭霸賽，三個(gè)魔法學(xué)校各派一名巫師競爭三項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)。參賽者由“火焰杯”選出，這個(gè)魔法杯中將放置候選人的名字。因?yàn)?7歲以下不得參加，弗雷德和喬治試圖使用老化劑參加，不幸以失敗告終?；舾袢A茲學(xué)校選出赫奇帕奇學(xué)院的塞德里克·迪戈里，德姆斯特朗邪術(shù)學(xué)院選出威克多爾·克魯姆(斯坦尼斯拉夫·拉內(nèi)夫斯基飾)，布斯巴頓魔法學(xué)校選出芙蓉·德拉庫爾。意想不到的是，火焰杯選出了第四個(gè)參賽者：哈利。由于哈利未成年，理應(yīng)不夠資格參加競賽，霍格華茲的師生們感到可疑，這一壯舉也離間了羅恩·韋斯利(魯伯特·格林特飾)和哈利。老師們希望鄧布利多讓哈利退賽，但四名參賽者與魔法合同聯(lián)系在一起，鄧布利多無可奈何只能讓哈利參賽。

三強(qiáng)爭霸賽的第一項(xiàng)任務(wù)是：每個(gè)參賽者必須取回由一條龍看守的金蛋。“瘋眼”建議哈利用他飛行的天賦戰(zhàn)勝這條龍。哈利進(jìn)入第一項(xiàng)任務(wù)，召喚他的掃把取回了金蛋，金蛋中有第二項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)的信息。在這之后不久，學(xué)生們被告知，在三強(qiáng)爭霸賽期間將舉行圣誕舞會(huì)，羅恩和哈利為尋找舞伴而煩惱，而這時(shí)他們得知，赫敏(艾瑪·沃森飾)要與威克多爾·克魯姆一起參加舞會(huì)，羅恩心生嫉妒。

作為對之前幫助的回報(bào)，塞德里克告訴哈利一條線索，促使他在水下打開金蛋。通過桃金娘的提示，他得知第二項(xiàng)任務(wù)限定每個(gè)參賽者從附近有美人魚的黑湖取回“一些寶貴的東西”。在為這次任務(wù)做準(zhǔn)備時(shí)，納威·隆巴頓送給哈利魚鰓草，能讓他在水下呼吸一小時(shí)。哈里第一個(gè)來到場地，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)羅恩、赫敏、秋張(梁佩詩飾)和芙蓉的妹妹嘉比里拉都已不省人事。哈利由于試圖解救羅恩和嘉比里拉，變成最后一個(gè)完成任務(wù)的人，結(jié)果哈利因“優(yōu)秀的道德品質(zhì)”位居第二，僅次于塞德里克。

第二項(xiàng)任務(wù)結(jié)束不久，在與“瘋眼”交談后，政府官員老巴蒂·克勞奇的尸體被哈利發(fā)現(xiàn)。在鄧布利多辦公室等待期間，好奇心促使哈利去偷看了鄧布利多的冥想盆，重游了鄧布利多的一次記憶。他看到巫審加碼團(tuán)抓捕現(xiàn)任德姆斯特朗邪術(shù)學(xué)院校長的食死徒伊戈?duì)?middot;卡卡洛夫之前的一次審判，眾人譴責(zé)包括西弗勒斯·斯內(nèi)普和小巴蒂·克勞奇在內(nèi)的一些食死徒。這時(shí)鄧布利多出來為斯內(nèi)普的正直作擔(dān)保，老克勞奇在這次揭露中驚恐萬分，他不認(rèn)自己狂躁的兒子，把他送往阿茲卡班?；氐浆F(xiàn)實(shí)，鄧布利多告訴哈利，他正在尋找記憶以得到為什么自比賽開始后霍格華茲發(fā)生了一系列離奇事件的線索。

三強(qiáng)爭霸賽的第三項(xiàng)，也是最后一項(xiàng)比賽，參賽者被置于一個(gè)樹籬迷宮，他們的挑戰(zhàn)是拿到三強(qiáng)杯?？唆斈酚脢Z魂咒使芙蓉失去能力，并試圖對塞德里克施加奪魂咒。哈利阻止了塞德里克對克魯姆的攻擊，兩人向三強(qiáng)杯賽跑。當(dāng)塞德里克被葡萄藤絆倒時(shí)，哈利幫他脫離困境，于是兩人宣稱平局，一起舉起了三強(qiáng)杯。

原來這個(gè)三強(qiáng)杯是一把門鑰匙，把兩位參賽者送往一塊墓地，蟲尾巴和伏地魔正在那里等著哈利。蟲尾巴把塞德里克殺死，綁起哈利，舉行了一個(gè)儀式使伏地魔獲得重生。伏地魔召喚食死徒們(其中包括德拉科的父親，盧修斯)，吩咐他們觀看黑暗統(tǒng)治者與其天敵的對決。被伏地魔折磨過的哈利與他戰(zhàn)斗，在他們的魔杖之間產(chǎn)生了反應(yīng)，出現(xiàn)了閃回咒。哈利的魔杖迫使伏地魔吐出他最近殺死的人的靈魂，包括哈利的父母、法蘭克·布萊斯和塞德里克。哈利被這些靈魂暫時(shí)保護(hù)，帶著塞德里克的尸體(應(yīng)他的要求)用三強(qiáng)杯逃了回來。

回來后，哈利告訴鄧布利多和魔法部部長康奈利·福吉伏地魔已經(jīng)回來了，并殺死了塞德里克。“瘋眼”帶著筋疲力盡的哈利回到城堡，他的問題引起哈利的疑心。“瘋眼”說是他把哈利的名字放進(jìn)火焰杯的，并協(xié)助塞德里克和納威幫助哈利，詛咒克魯姆等等。鄧布利多、斯內(nèi)普和麥格教授來到，把吐真劑強(qiáng)行灌進(jìn)“瘋眼”的喉嚨。他終于說出真相，原來他不是“瘋眼”阿拉斯特·穆迪，“瘋眼”本人正關(guān)在一個(gè)魔法樹干中，被剝奪了魔法眼和假肢。假“瘋眼”的變身水(斯內(nèi)普曾指責(zé)哈利偷了他的配料)的藥效逐漸減退，露出小巴蒂·克勞奇原身，并且在他的前臂上有跳動(dòng)的黑魔標(biāo)記，這意味著伏地魔回來了。

之后，霍格華茲的師生們、德姆斯特朗和布斯巴頓齊聚在大會(huì)堂，為塞德里克送行。在德姆斯特朗和布斯巴頓的代表們離開后，鄧布利多勸誡大家要齊心協(xié)力抵制伏地魔。
