注:艾美獎共分為兩大獎項,即美國艾美獎和國際艾美獎(國際艾美獎的參賽作品全部來自美國以外的國家)。美國艾美獎是美國電視界的最高獎項,艾美獎的地位如同奧斯卡獎於電影界和格萊美獎於音樂界一樣重要。
Aliens are invading[侵略], humans are rounded up and heroes are on the run. Yet this end-of-the-world story becomes a heartfelt[真心真意的] adventure in the animated[動畫的] film Home.
Directed by Tim Johnson (Over the Hedge), the movie (out March 27th, 2015) stars three-time Emmy注winner Jim Parsons as the voice of a purple alien named Oh. Pop singer Rihanna is Oh’s new human friend Tip, and Steve Martin is Captain Smek, leader of the Boov race, who’s trying to find a home for Oh and his fellow Boov after they were run off their own planet.
Cinematic[電影的] alien invasions[入侵] tend toward the dark, yet Home gave Johnson an opportunity to tell the story from a different point of view.
“The attitude[態度] the aliens have is that they’re doing us such a great favor and they will be so good for us primitive[原始的] natives,’ says Johnson.
When Oh and Tip meet, they find they’re both outsiders among their own kind. Oh gets in so much trouble he has to flee[逃跑] his fellow Boov, and 12-year-old Tip is still adjusting[調整] to her new Midwestern home with her mother after growing up in the Caribbean.
Oh promises to help Tip find her mom since all the adults have been taken to a huge theme park the Boov built called Happy Humans Town. “They’ve studied us and know what we want,” says Johnson.
They end up with both of them running for their lives, Parsons says. “It really turns into a very odd[古怪的] buddy road movie. She’s hostile[敵意的] toward him and he considers her basically a savage[未開化的], and as they go, they realize they have more and more in common.”
