猴年來了：盤點與猴有關的經典電影

7. Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan
《泰山王子》

Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, directed by Chariots of Fire helmer Hugh Hudson, is notable for taking the Tarzan story back to its roots and ditching the campy trappings that the tale had taken on over the years. It's a more serious spin on the classic story of a boy lost in the jungle and raised by a family of apes. The 1984 film is also notable for the incredibly realistic apes -- even by today's standards -- created by effects guru Rick Baker. The ape-effects are great, but if you're looking for a Tarzan flick with some guy swinging around in the trees, this might not be for you. Just as in Burroughs' novel, the apes in the film have primitive language skills.
《泰山王子》出自《烈火戰(zhàn)車》導演休·赫德森之手。泰山的故事已被演繹出諸多傳奇，不過該片返璞歸真，在最經典的泰山劇情上（小男孩在森林中迷失，被猿猴一家養(yǎng)大）進行改編，不失嚴肅。在這部1984年的影片中，其人猿形象由當時的視效大師瑞克·貝克打造，可謂栩栩如生，以今日標準看來依舊出色。雖說本片場景逼真，但并沒有那種泰山電影常有的“叢林間蕩來蕩去”的鏡頭。與巴勒斯的原著小說一樣，本片中猿猴一家使用的都是最原始的交流方式。

Banana Bonus: The Highlander loves monkeys, too!
