The 10 Greatest Film Trilogies Of All Time
十大最出色的電影三部曲

Making a satisfying collection of three films is something very few series achieve, because it requires exceptional story control, characters you’ll care about over many hours and many years, plus a writer/director’s ability to tie everything together without necessarily knowing the end of Part Three when they’re making the beginning of Part One. These, in my view, are the 10 trilogies that have done it best.
拍出一套令人滿意的電影三部曲是一件很難實現(xiàn)的事情，因為它需要考慮到特別的故事情節(jié)把控、觀影時或者是等續(xù)集的幾年中都會受到關(guān)注的人物問題，再加上作者或?qū)а菽芘臄z第一部并且不知道第三部電影結(jié)局的情況，還要將故事情節(jié)聯(lián)系在一起的能力。以下這十部是我認(rèn)為拍得非常優(yōu)秀的電影三部曲。

1. Toy Story
《玩具總動員三部曲》

Every episode of the Toy Story series stands as a classic on its own. They enrich each other but each does not need the other parts to make it a full story. It is also perhaps unique inthe world of trilogies. It’s the best trilogy and it’s not even particularly close.
玩具總動員系列的每一集都是經(jīng)典。他們彼此豐富但每個故事都不需要另兩部來使它成為一個完整的故事。這在三部曲電影當(dāng)中算是很特別的。雖然這三部電影的聯(lián)系不是很緊密，也不妨它成為最棒的三部曲。

2. Three Colours Trilogy
《三色三部曲》

Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colours Trilogy is made up of three completely independent movies, which only barely overlap, but investigating one theme, the three political ideals of France: liberty, egality and fraternity.
克日什托夫·基耶斯洛夫斯基的《三色》三部曲是由三個完全獨立的電影組成，故事情節(jié)幾乎不重疊，但都是同一個主題——法國三大政治理想：自由、平等、博愛。

3. The Lord of the Rings
《魔戒三部曲》

J.R.R. Tolkien’s enormous book series had for years been considered unfilmable, partly due to scale. And Peter Jackson had never taken on anything so huge. What he produced was a series that had an enormous sense of scale, really making Middle Earth feel like an entire planet, but never losing focus on character even when it spread its large cast over hundreds of miles. The only thing that keeps it from the top of the list is that the second film, while impeccably made, is very much a middle part, without its own satisfying conclusion. But that’s real nitpicking.
J.R.R. Tolkien的很多書多年來都一直被認(rèn)為是很難拍攝成電影的，一部分原因是由于規(guī)模太恢宏。彼得·杰克遜從來沒有拍攝過如此宏偉的場面。他所要導(dǎo)演的是有巨大的場面感，使中土覺得像是整個星球的電影，但他也從未忽視演員的安排，即使巨大的演員陣容有幾百米長。唯一使它從列表排名第一掉落的是它的第二部電影，這是一個非常重要的中間部分，但沒有完美地呈現(xiàn)出來，也沒有得到自己滿意的結(jié)果。但實話說，那其實是“雞蛋里挑骨頭”。

4.The Dollars Trilogy
《鏢客三部曲》

Does it count as a trilogy when the three lead characters have different names, even if they’re all played by the same man, Clint Eastwood? Some would argue not, but they can make their own list.Leone’s camerawork and Ennio Morricone’s music are still copied routinely today.
當(dāng)三位主角有不同的名字，但他們都是同一人所扮演。這樣的電影能算是三部曲嗎，克林特·伊斯特伍德？有人會說不算，但他們完全可以去看自己喜歡的。Leone的攝影和Ennio Morricone的音樂仍然流傳至今。

5. Star Wars (original trilogy)
《星球大戰(zhàn)》（原三部曲）

Good, great, fine is how the Star Wars trilogy runs. The first, mind-blowingly new in its day, doesn’t hold up all that well when measured against today’s best sci-fi pictures -- the plot is almost entirely driven by luck -- but it will always be the father of the modern blockbuster and for that it deserves respect. The second is a much deeper film, playing with bigger themes. The third is OK if you like violent teddy bears and are really big on running through forests.
“好，棒，不錯”是《星球大戰(zhàn)》三部曲的走勢。第一部，創(chuàng)意新穎，完全不輸給當(dāng)今最好的科幻片——情節(jié)幾乎是靠運氣，但它始終是現(xiàn)代大片之首和因此是值得被尊重的。第二部電影層次更深，主題也很大。如果你喜歡暴力的泰迪熊也喜歡奔跑著穿越森林的場面那第三部非常適合你。

6. Bourne
《諜影重重》系列

Despite the existence of The Bourne Legacy we can consider the three Matt Damon Bourne movies to be their own trilogy as they tell a complete story. Legacy is a spin-off. A terrible one.
盡管還有《伯恩的遺產(chǎn)》，但我們?nèi)钥梢园袽att Damon Bourne的三部電影看做是三部曲，因為他們講的是一個完整的故事。《伯恩的遺產(chǎn)》只能算是一部糟糕的衍生電影了。

7. The Apu Trilogy
《阿普三部曲》

The filmmakers’ favourite trilogy, Satyajit Ray’s films are lauded by Akira Kurosawa and Martin Scorsese, among others, and you don’t argue with giants like that. It’s not as grand as some of the other series on this list, following a man from youth in an Indian village to life as a man in the city, facing great fortune and even greater tragedy, but it’s not a story that needs scale because it’s huge on humanity.
作為電影制作人最喜歡的三部曲，薩蒂亞吉特·雷伊的電影都紛紛被黑澤明和馬丁·斯科塞斯等贊美過，大家也非常認(rèn)可他們的觀點。這個系列的場面不像這份影單上其他系列電影一樣宏偉，講述的是一個青年從在一個印度村莊生活到在城市中生活的經(jīng)歷，面臨著巨大的財富和更大的悲劇，但它不是一個大篇幅的故事，因為它在人性上承載了很多意義。

8. The Dark Knight Trilogy
《蝙蝠俠黑暗騎士三部曲》

There are those who really hate the final part of Christopher Nolan’s run in the Batman universe. That’s fine, I just happen not to agree with them. Nolan’s approach to Batman is the only superhero trilogy that has fully documented the career arc of a costumed crime-fighter,and feels like a contained story without the possibility of a fourth, which is what a trilogy should be.
有人真的很討厭克里斯托弗·諾蘭在蝙蝠俠宇宙出演的最后部分。這沒關(guān)系，我只是不同意他們的觀點。諾蘭的蝙蝠俠是唯一一部超級英雄三部曲，這已經(jīng)充分展現(xiàn)了一個身著異服的職業(yè)打擊罪犯的英雄形象，看起來就像一個完整的故事，不太可能有第四部，當(dāng)然這也是電影三部曲該有的樣子。

9. The Godfather
《教父三部曲》

It’s a mark of how great the first two movies are that even with the flabby, graceless third part this is still one of the best trilogies. One fully lays out the Corleone family tree, while two goes down to its rotten roots while also stretching its branches further. Part three doesn’t feel of a piece with the others. It seems on the hunt for an ending to Michael Corleone’s story, rather than driven by a need to finish a story.
《教父》就是三部曲的典范。影片前兩部很精彩，第三部雖然劇情松散粗俗也不會影響它成為最棒的三部曲之一。第一部完全展示了科萊昂家族樹，而第二部深入了它腐爛的根部，同時進(jìn)一步拉伸了它的枝條。第三部感覺和其他兩部沒什么關(guān)系。這似乎是在為邁克·柯里昂的故事尋找一個結(jié)局，而不是因為需要完結(jié)才被動地讓它結(jié)束。

10. Back To The Future
《回到未來三部曲》

The first in the time travel series is unimprovable. A director enjoying himself so much with a perfect cast that the complicated plotting seems like the simplest thing in the world. Part two is fun as a take on what the future could be. Part three is a fun western that feels only very loosely connected to the previous two.
《回到未來三部曲》作為首個時間穿梭系列電影堪稱完美。導(dǎo)演在一個完美的演員陣容里自我享受拍攝過程，以至于那些復(fù)雜的情節(jié)都看起來像是世界上最簡單的事。第二部分講述未來可能發(fā)生的有趣的事。第三部分是一部有趣的西部片，和之前兩部的聯(lián)系不太緊密。
