An American comedy.
片头是导演兼主演艾伯特·布鲁克斯坐在一个漂亮的办公室,介绍道《真实人生》和预告片都是3D的(一个善意的谎言),需要佩戴3D眼镜观看,或者向影院借红蓝玻璃纸(也都不存在),并且越说越激动,用手夸张地指着摄像头说:“电影可能拍的就是你!”甚至搞笑地把喝完的水泼向摄像机来“解渴”。最后看似没有关系乒乓球冠军布朗出现了,艾伯特邀请他留下来,自己则举起玻璃纸看他打球,然后情不自禁地说道:“天哪,看起来你就像是真实存在一样!
"Real Life" (1979), a satirical comedy directed by Albert Brooks and produced by Paramount Pictures, offers a biting yet humorous critique of reality television long before the genre became a staple of modern entertainment. The film follows a fictional filmmaker, also named Albert Brooks, who decides to document the daily life of an average American family, the Yeagers, in an attempt to create a groundbreaking cinéma vérité project. As the cameras roll, the Yeagers' lives spiral into chaos under the constant scrutiny and manipulation of the film crew, highlighting the absurdity and ethical dilemmas inherent in reality TV. Set in the United States, "Real Life" cleverly uses the backdrop of suburban America to explore themes of privacy, authenticity, and the impact of media on personal lives. The Yeager family, initially enthusiastic about participating in the project, soon finds their routines disrupted and their relationships strained as they struggle to maintain normalcy under the intrusive gaze of the camera. Brooks' character, driven by a mix of ambition and naivety, becomes increasingly detached from the real consequences of his experiment, providing both comedic and poignant moments throughout the film. The film's humor is derived from its sharp observations and exaggerated scenarios, such as the Yeagers' attempts to cope with bizarre interventions by the film crew, including the installation of a "sneeze detector" and the staging of dramatic events to boost viewer interest. These elements not only entertain but also serve as a critique of the lengths to which media producers will go to manufacture drama and manipulate reality for the sake of entertainment. "Real Life" remains a prescient and insightful commentary on the voyeuristic nature of reality television, a genre that would explode in popularity decades later. Despite its initial lukewarm reception, the film has gained a cult following and is appreciated for its foresight and satirical edge. Albert Brooks' directorial debut showcases his unique comedic voice and sets the stage for his later work, cementing "Real Life" as a significant, if underappreciated, piece of American cinema.
