According to the Chinese calendar, 2016 is the year of the Monkey. We thought we'd compile a list of the greatest monkey movies ever. And before any of you hard-nosed primatologoly majors out there send us hate mail, please understand that we're using the term monkey informally, referring to all non-human simians. That includes monkeys, as well as apes like the gorilla, chimpanzee and orangutan. Now, with that technicality out of the way, here's our list of Top 10 Monkey Movies.
既然今年是农历猴年,我们便为大家准备了一场电影盛宴,每部片中均有猴子的身影.笔者在此事先声明,本文所说的"猴子"泛指一切人类以外的类人猿,包括大猩猩、黑猩猩、褐猿等各类猿猴,所以请爱咬文嚼字的动物学究们就不要来信拍我们了.好了,扫清了学术上的障碍之后,接下来咱们就来看"与猴相关的十大佳片".
10. Project X
《X计划》
If the monkey section of your DVD library doesn't include Matthew Broderick's 1987 film, Project X, then you're missing one of the essential films in the primate genre. Broderick had made a name for himself a few years earlier playing "global thermonuclear war" in WarGames, but this film from The Accused director Jonathan Kaplan sees him trade Ally Sheedy and "Joshua" in for Helen Hunt and a chimpanzee named Virgil. He plays Jimmy, an Air Force soldier who learns of an experimental military project involving chimpanzees trained to operate flight simulators. The chimp at the center of the film, Virgil, is sent to the program after the research grant of his hottie caretaker (Hunt) is not renewed. Unfortunately, the project, which involves exposure to massive pulses of radiation, has a nasty side effect for the primate participants: death. Can Jimmy save the chimp and bag the broad? We don't wanna ruin it... but yes.
这部1987年的电影由马修·布罗德里克担纲主演,是"猴子电影"的经典之作.此前,布罗德里克出演《战争游戏》,过了把玩"全球热核战"的瘾,名声大噪.本片由执导过《暴劫梨花》的乔纳森·卡普兰执导.与布罗德里克对戏的不是艾丽·西蒂,也不是詹姆斯·阿克曼,而是女星海伦·亨特与一只名叫维吉尔的黑猩猩.布罗德里克饰演主角吉米,是一名空军战士,偶然发现了军方训练黑猩猩开飞机的实验项目.亨特饰演的性感驯兽师缺少经费,不得不将维吉尔送去做实验.然而,"X计划"的辐射太强,不少黑猩猩没过多久便一命呜呼.吉米能做一回救猩猩的英雄、同时抱得美人归吗？我不该剧透的……是的,他做到了.

9. Curious George
《好奇的乔治》
The 2006 animated Curious George film takes a few liberties with the classic stories created by H.A. and Margret Rey, but it stays true to the playful tone of the tales about a curious little monkey named George and his frequently exasperated owner, The Man in the Yellow Hat. The Universal Animation Studios adaptation is overwhelmingly cute at times, but never unpleasantly so. Will Ferrell voices Ted -- yes, The Man in the Yellow hat gets a name. He also gets a love interest in Drew Barrymore's Maggie. And while big-name voice actors usually equal annoying shtick, this is the rare contemporary animated film that's completely free of irony, gross-out moments, and witty pop culture references. It's sweet and simple -- the perfect animated kid flick.
这部2006年的影片改编自H·A·雷伊与玛格丽特·雷伊的经典童话,既保留了原作的天真风格,亦有所创新.本片主角是一只名叫乔治的小猴,以及它那脾气暴躁的主人——黄帽男.本片由环球动画出品,童趣十足,恰到好处.威尔·法瑞尔献声"黄帽男"泰德,片中女友玛吉则由德鲁·巴里摩尔配音.《好奇的乔治》云集诸多大牌,专为儿童打造.片中没有冷嘲热讽、粗口暴力,更没有任何无脑笑梗.就这样一部简简单单的儿童动画,温馨甜蜜.
