百年50部英文燒腦電影賞析:[24]Moon 月球

Sam Bell(Sam Rockwell)is nearing the end of a three-year work contract at Lunar Industries' largely automated “Sarang” lunar base, where he is the sole resident. Sam oversees automated harvesters and launches canisters bound for Earth containing the helium-3 they extract. Chronic communication problems limit him to occasional recorded messages with his wife Tess, who was pregnant with their daughter Eve Bell(Kaya Scodelario)when he left. His only companion is an artificial intelligence assistant named GERTY(Kevin Spacey provided the voice), who assists with the base's automation.

Two weeks before he is to return to Earth, Sam suffers from hallucinations of a teenage girl. One such hallucination distracts him while he is out recovering a helium-3 canister from a harvester, causing him to crash his rover into the harvester. Rapidly losing air, Sam dons his helmet in time, but still loses consciousness from his injuries.

Sam awakes in the base infirmary, but with no memory of the accident. He overhears GERTY receiving instructions from Lunar Industries not to let him outside the base and to wait for the arrival of rescue team “Eliza”. He manufactures a fake problem with the base to force GERTY to let him outside. Inside the crashed rover he finds another, unconscious Sam Bell.

After bringing this Sam back to the base and tending to his injuries, the two Sams start to wonder if one is a clone of the other. They get into a heated argument and physical altercation, but soon work together to coerce GERTY into revealing that in fact they are both clones of the real Sam Bell, who is on Earth. GERTY had awakened a new clone after the rover crash and implanted the memories of the real Sam Bell, believing that the original clone could not be recovered. The two clones start exploring the base. They find out that communications are being jammed by antennae at the far edges of the base, and that previous clones have all started to deteriorate and become very ill after about three years of being revived — upon which, believing they were being put into hibernation for the journey home, were simply incinerated. They also discover an enormous vault containing hundreds more clones below the base. The older Sam drives past the interference range in another rover and calls Tess(Dominique McElligott)on Earth, only to get Eve, now 15 years old, who informs him that Tess had died years before. He hangs up before the real Sam can answer.

The Sams realise that the incoming rescue team will kill them both if they are found together. The newer Sam suggests sending the other to Earth in one of the helium-3 canisters, but the older Sam, already in an advanced state of deterioration, knows he will not live much longer and instead suggests the newer Sam go and alert the public to what Lunar Industries is doing. The older Sam plans to return to the crashed rover and die there, so Lunar Industries will not suspect anything. They work with GERTY to erase all records of the second clone, and then revive a third clone to await the Eliza rescue team. They also program one of the harvesters to crash into a jamming antenna to enable communication with Earth. The older Sam, back in the rover, watches as the canister taking the other Sam is launched to Earth, before blacking out.

As the credits roll, news broadcasts report that the clone's testimony about Lunar Industries' illegal activities stirred considerable controversy on Earth, causing the company's stock to crash.

薩姆·貝爾(薩姆·洛克威爾飾)一人獨居，他在月球產(chǎn)業(yè)公司的大型自動化月球基地“薩朗”三年的工作即將合同期滿結(jié)束。薩姆監(jiān)視自動收割機，提取氦-3,并將其放入罐子中發(fā)射回地球。長期的通信問題使他只能偶爾看看妻子泰絲的錄制消息。當他離開時，妻子正懷著他們的女兒夏娃·貝爾(卡雅·斯考達里奧飾)。他唯一的同伴是一個人造智能助手“格蒂”(凱文·史派西配音)，幫助他進行基地的自動操作。

在薩姆返回地球前兩周，他經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)關(guān)于一個少女的幻覺。在一次外出從收割機中取回氦-3罐子時，再次出現(xiàn)這種幻覺分散了他的注意力，致使他駕駛的飛行器沖向收割機。很快就沒了空氣，薩姆及時戴上了頭盔，但他卻在傷害中失去了意識。

薩姆在基地醫(yī)務(wù)室醒來，但對這次意外卻喪失了記憶。他偶然聽到“格蒂”收到來自月球產(chǎn)業(yè)公司的指示，不讓他到基地外面去，并等待救援隊“伊萊扎”的到來。他制造了一個基地出現(xiàn)問題的假象，迫使“格蒂”讓他到基地外面，在那艘撞壞的飛行器里，他發(fā)現(xiàn)了另一個失去知覺的薩姆·貝爾。

他將這個薩姆帶回基地并悉心照料。他們開始懷疑他倆其中一個是由另一個克隆而成，激烈地爭辯起來并發(fā)生了肉體上的沖突。但不久，他們就一起設(shè)法迫使“格蒂”揭開了事實：他們倆都是地球上真正的薩姆·貝爾的克隆體，當那艘飛行器撞壞后，“格蒂”以為原來的克隆體不會恢復(fù)，就喚醒了一個新的克隆體，并植入真的薩姆·貝爾的記憶。這兩個克隆人開始對基地進行探索，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)通信問題是由于基地邊緣的天線干擾所致。之前被喚醒的克隆體在三年之后，身體都開始惡化。原來他們以為自己會在休眠狀態(tài)下被送回地球，但后來發(fā)現(xiàn)只是會被簡單地?zé)龤?。他們還在基地下面發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個巨大的地下室，里面有幾百個克隆人。較早被克隆出來的薩姆駕駛另一艘飛行器開出干擾范圍，呼叫地球上的泰絲(多米妮克·麥克艾麗戈特飾)，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)15歲的夏娃接了電話，她告訴他，泰絲幾年前已經(jīng)去世了。他在真的薩姆接電話前掛了電話。

兩個薩姆意識到，如果即將到來的救援隊發(fā)現(xiàn)他倆在一起，就會殺死他們。新薩姆建議另一個薩姆乘氦-3罐回地球，但老薩姆知道自己身體已經(jīng)深度惡化，活不了太久，建議新薩姆回地球，并向人們警告月球產(chǎn)業(yè)公司所做的惡行。老薩姆計劃返回那艘撞壞的飛行器并死在那兒，這樣月球產(chǎn)業(yè)公司就不會產(chǎn)生任何懷疑。他們和格蒂一起清除了第二個克隆體的所有記錄，然后喚醒了第三個克隆人等待伊萊扎救援隊的到來。他們還安排讓一個收割機撞進干擾天線中以便能夠和地球通信。老薩姆回到那艘飛行器中，在停止呼息之前看著罐子帶著那個薩姆被發(fā)射回地球。

字幕顯示，新聞報道了返回地球的克隆人針對月球產(chǎn)業(yè)公司進行非法克隆的證詞引起地球上廣泛的爭議，并使這個公司的股票崩盤。
