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《烈火战车》导演休·赫德森之手。泰山的故事已被演绎出诸多传奇，不过该片返璞归真，在最经典的泰山剧情上（小男孩在森林中迷失，被猿猴一家养大）进行改编，不失严肃。在这部1984年的影片中，其人猿形象由当时的视效大师瑞克·贝克打造，可谓栩栩如生，以今日标准看来依旧出色。虽说本片场景逼真，但并没有那种泰山电影常有的“丛林间荡来荡去”的镜头。与巴勒斯的原著小说一样，本片中猿猴一家使用的都是最原始的交流方式。
