根据英国作家Sarah Waters的同名畅销书改编的TV(其实也可以算电影)，一共三集。
这个片子拍得跌宕起伏，相当相当精彩～ 在看第一集的时候感觉她不过是一个时代背景特殊一点，气氛稍微有点怪异，但情节框架还是比较老套的女同故事。但是往后的发展越来越让人瞠目，看完以后对原著，编剧，导演和所有演员都要拜~~ORZ
不剧透的前提下稍微介绍一下剧情：
故事发生在维多利亚时代的伦敦，一开场的环境非常让人郁闷，阴灰肮脏的伦敦贫民窟，气氛诡异的疯人院，即使后面到乡村豪宅里也因为主人是个变态老头而让人寒毛直竖。不过好在主角是两个动人的美女XD，并且之后由于片中人物之间的情感关系，很多画面和剧情都让人感觉非常美丽，色彩也变得明亮温暖。
Maud的母亲是个豪门千金，但死在疯人院，于是可怜的女1号从小就在一个变态的环境里成长，周围不是蓬头垢面的疯子就是心理变态以虐待病人为乐的护士们。长到10岁左右她的舅舅把她从疯人院接回了乡下的豪宅里。但舅舅是个冷面又专制的学究，一张脸长得比花岗岩还要死板，戴着手套在一尘不染的书房里整理藏书是他的全部生活。这样，我们的女1号脱离了一个疯狂的地狱以后又掉进一潭死水，与世隔绝……直到某一天一个叫Richard的英俊青年出现……(话说这个演员很象Brad Pitt的说XD)
女2号Sue长在伦敦的贫民窟，养母Mrs.Sucksby专门收养弃婴，然后把他们培养成小偷骗子。所以他们家是一窝的fingersmith。年轻英俊风流潇洒的Richard也是他们一伙的，外号Gentleman，他得知Maud结婚后将能继承一笔巨额遗产于是策划了一个骗局，他以绘画教师的身份去接近并勾引天真纯洁不谙世事的Maud，并用计让Sue成为Maud的贴身女仆作为内应，以便唆使她和他私奔，最终夺取她的遗产，当然，到时Sue也将会分赃获得3000英镑。于是两个女主角的命运就这样交汇…………
后面就自己看吧～
原著的作者Sarah Waters是个文学博士，专门研究女同性恋史XD，她本人也是个Les。她的第一部小说Tipping the velvet是为了博士论文而写的，也被BBC拍成了TV，评价也相当的高。Fingersmith应该是她目前为止最成功的小说，曾入围2002年布克奖。在写这部小说的时候她研究了大量维多利亚时代的历史背景和当时的情色文学XD，有兴趣的朋友看完电影以后可以看看她的官方网站

剧本改编得非常好，虽然我还没看过原著(不过已经下载了-v-)，不过可以想象的到作为女性作家写这种Les题材肯定会相当细腻，作为文学博士写出来的东西也肯定会比较文学，这样的小说改编成成功的影视作品的难度是相当大的。但是电影剧本无疑非常成功，每个包袱都抖得相当精彩，一波三折；人物的刻画既细腻又决不拖泥带水。我相信这个小说读起来应该会很女性，但是电影剧本却处理得很男性化地干脆，很酷^_^ 等看完原著再来讨论一下小说好了～
演员的表演，太精彩了～～这个电影的剧情是属于后劲十足的，开始的发展让人觉得有点小白，但是越往后越震撼；所以演员的表演也是遵循相同的规律，从深藏不露到忽然爆发，随后入木三分淋漓尽致，然后再回想开头的部分，拍案啊拍案～～我看第一集的时候看到俩女主角的感情戏有时候会想笑，但是看到最后，折服～女1号Maud和Mrs. Sucksby的扮演者最让我佩服，这两个人物塑造得太绝了。Imelda Staunton演过无数经典老太婆，这电影后1/3里她简直能抢了俩女主角的戏了；Elaine Cassidy很年轻却相当实力派。之前只在Kidman主演的恐怖片《the others》里看到过，演一个其貌不扬没有多少戏份的哑巴女仆，没想到这个片子里如此的光彩夺目orz。其实她本人长得并非十分惹眼，倒是扮演童年Maud的小loli相当漂亮，长大后的一出来虽然容貌有几分相似却少了惊艳感，但是她和剧情一样后劲十足，连容貌都感觉越来越漂亮了orz
原著作者在被问到谁能出演她的作品的时候这样说：
If Fingersmith were made into a film, who can you see in the lead roles?
I always have a very vivid sense of my own characters, but I think they must exist, for me, primarily as voices, because I always find it difficult to translate them into flesh-and-blood terms. So I'd have to leave the casting to somebody else, and hope for the best.
毫无疑问，BBC找到了最好的演员~
其他比较有意思的问题：
Your novels breathe new life into the Victorian age - have you always been interested in this period of history?
I find it a fascinating period because it feels very close to us, and yet in lots of ways it is utterly strange: many of the things we think we know about it are stereotypes, or simply wrong. I got particularly interested in it after I did some academic work in the early '90s, in which I looked, amongst other things, at nineteenth-century sexual underworlds. We tend to think of desire and sexual identity as being so basic to us they're somehow fixed and ahistorical. But that's a very modern idea, with its roots in the Victorian period itself. If you look at the erotic writings of the time, you find some very interesting things going on.
The period detail is very convincing, particularly in the scenes in the madhouse - was there a lot of research involved?
I did a lot of general research for the book, and then concentrated on particular areas as necessary - for example, on the criminal underworld and its slang; on book-collecting; on public executions; and, yes, on madhouses. There were lots of scandals in the mid-nineteenth century involving 'troublesome' middle-class women being pressed into asylums by their husbands and by unscrupulous male doctors. I read as much relevant material as I could. Some of it was pretty distressing. And though I started off with a very gothic vision of Victorian asylums, in the end I became more interested in - and more genuinely chilled by - the idea of the small, private madhouse from which ladies were unable to escape not so much because they were being kept there by bars and strait-jackets, but because they had been robbed of material resources like money and clothes.
And lastly – why should everyone buy Fingersmith?
500 pages of fraud, insanity, sex, violence, laughter and tears, for round about a tenner? You'd be a fool NOT to buy this book! 冲这句话也一定要读一读原著呀～～XDDD
