禁忌4 Taboo IV: The Younger Generation (1985)

　　Shipwreck survivors are found on Beiru Island (Infanto tô), which was previously used for atomic tests. The interior is amazingly free of radiation effects, and they believe that they were protected by a special juice that was given to them by the island's residents. A joint expedition of Rolisican and Japanese scientists explores Beiru and discovers many curious things, including two women only one foot (30 centimeters) high. Unscrupulous expedition leader Clark Nelson abducts the women and puts them in a vaudeville show. But their sweet singing contains a telepathic cry for help to Mothra, a gigantic moth that is worshiped as a deity by the island people. The giant monster heeds the call of the women and heads to Tokyo, wreaking destruction in its path.

　　Locked in her flat for several years, a reclusive young woman stumbles upon a mysterious web community. According to an urban myth, the Suicide Club grants death to those wishing for it. Unless these "cyber suicides" are actually murders.

　　约翰．卡彭特导演的这部科幻片并没有强调特技噱头，反而将重心放在异乡人的主题上，而且拍出了相当浪漫动人的气氛，甚至可以将它当作一部取外星人为主角的文艺片来欣赏。杰夫．布里奇斯饰演一名纯真的外星人，他的宇宙飞船被地救人击落，掉在威斯康辛州的荒野。他负伤来到新近丧偶的寡妇凯伦艾的家中，并且借用她丈夫的身体来延续生命。在学习地球人的生活方式过程中，他跟寡妇发生了感情。外星人的救援队将在三天后到达亚历桑纳州接他回外层空间，他需要寡妇开车送他到那里。地球上的两位政府官员也接获讯息，他们决定不管生死都要捉住外星人，因而引发了一场精彩的拉锯战。

本片以乡村考古为背景，讲述少女露西与母亲卡罗琳重返家族故地时，意外揭开一段被岁月掩埋的亲情谜团。露西在两只神秘灵雀的指引下，与好友化身“小侦探”，通过老宅残片、褪色信件与家族旧物，逐步拼凑出曾祖母时代因战乱而断裂的情感纽带。这部别致的定格动画采用手工剪纸方式制作，创作团队用2000个纸偶和826个布景拍摄，堪称完成了一项不可能的工作。片中既有细腻舒缓的情绪铺陈，也不乏快速剪辑的惊险片段。导演安东尼·兰席奥以一段层层递进的冒险旅程为载体，娓娓道来几代人之间的情感牵绊，描绘出一部充满诗意、幽默和温情的动画佳作。
