不法奸禁

甜蜜的梦魇

　　塔希米是小巴驾驶员，每天要去马尼拉城内拉客赚钱，他对美国的任何事物都很感兴趣，无论是电影、音乐、还是他的梦中情人 - 美国小姐，他每天必听的电台是“美国之声”，尤其对老美的太空计划着迷，特崇拜从东德叛逃的火箭科学家Werner Von Braun，还在村里组了一个WVB迷协会，招收当地一些小孩做会员，并通过卖冰棒为菲律宾小姐的选美活动筹款。　　塔希米认为村子在逐渐退化，跟不上时代的步伐，村民们落后的生活方式让他感到悲哀，甚至内心看不起从小一起长大的朋友，因为他现在是竹屋工匠，尽管建造竹屋是菲律宾人的传统技艺，但现在已经没有多少人愿意学了，而塔希米想要的是更宽敞明亮的楼房，想要过一种更现代化的“国际生活”。某天在路上他结识了一个美国商人，商人正需一私人司机，于是塔希米和他一起来到了巴黎。在巴黎的生活起初让他感到新鲜不已，但随着他唯一的朋友，一个巴黎街头的小商贩因受到附近超级市场的行业欺压和迫害而无法经营最终自杀，塔希米开始对这个金钱至上的资本主义社会产生了疑问，为什么这个世界首先需要的是超市？为什么无数旧楼房被推倒后还要在上面建起更豪华的别墅？他试图用自己的方式对抗，但很快意识到无用，并及时从梦中觉醒，重返了家乡。

　　Malvís (Alfredo Landa) is sick of working like crazy for nothing. He'd rather become a bandit, that's much better, he's gonna be the fearful Fendetestas! He'll spread panic in the woods of his region. But there's a little problem: there aren't much people living in his region, everyone knows everyone and everyone is so poor, so is gonna be difficult that someone takes Malvís/Fendetestas too seriously.　　This is a magic history, so funny, and full of situations that will make you laugh. It's also full of characters that belong to the Spanish idiosyncrasy: the strict priest, the Guardia Civil, the old devout women, the village idiot... there's even a lost soul wandering around the woods.　　The great Alfredo Landa heads a cast that gathered together the best two generations of Spanish scene: from Fernando Rey to Encarna Paso, from Manuel Alexandre to María Isbert... A cast like that would be just unthinkable nowadays. "El Bosque Animado" was the first movie of José Luis Cuerda's trilogy of rural comedies (after this one he made the surreal "Amanece Que No Es Poco", and "Así En El Cielo Como En La Tierra". Those are movies so personal that stress the Spanish culture. The young directors should take note of films like "El Bosque Animado", instead of trying to be the new "enfant terrible" and imitating US worst cinema.
