《大使》是一部由Mads Brügger执导，纪录片主演的一部丹麦类型的电影，特精心从网络上整理的一些观众的影评，希望对大家能有帮助。
《大使》影评(一)：Brugger：我就是想强奸一下中非试一试
新西兰电影节很小，但是居然也能把影片导演，丹麦记者Mads请到现场谈谈心。有人问他，你冒着生命危险去扮演一个钻石商人伪外交官，你家人怎么看？Mad 讲：我的家人？。。我老婆嫁给我的时候，知道我会不时的做这样的事情，她。。。她不喜欢，但是她也认了。
问道为什么要拍这个片子，他说，这些后殖民时代的非洲国家，他们的各种国家机能非常脆弱，像中非，腐败彻底渗透到各个领域——我在短短的几个星期里面，就能得到这个国家的钻石，而且是有可能成功把它们带出来的。不要忘了，我只是个扮演 Mr. Coertze这个角色的演员而已，而一个真的Mr.Coertze 会真的来任意强奸这个国家。
影片从一个欧洲代购非洲国家外交身份的服务入手，揭开重重官商勾结卖国贼的种种黑幕。MADS亲自潜伏进入，让我们看到一个所谓的"国家" 如何在每一个功能上腐蚀变味的。
老牌殖民者法国如何为了保护自己的利益——永远让中非落后，从而靠资源（钻石石油）换工业品依赖法国，他们帮助官员腐败，为他们安排事发后的后路；中非发展本国际经济屡屡受挫——Mads带一个印度制造业专家去开厂，也受到官方骚扰阻挠无法继续。
影片中屡屡提到中国在这些资源争夺利益上日益明显，导演引诱影片中的中非人对中国人大放厥词，而镜头也在揭露着他们乌鸦落在猪身上的虚伪。
影片中一个穆斯林中非人矿主带Mads去钻石矿，由于看守人员到底归属于哪一方（叛军还是政府）不能确定，所以非常难说是否是血钻，但是偶然出现的穆斯林女子被一群人不情愿的押着要上车，最后被矿主拒绝那一幕，在一片混乱的信息中，似乎有点似曾相识的感觉。
权力，资源，和被胁迫的女子。 国家无法治，人民就等着被强奸。Mads 给我一个真相，又让我们感到在真相面前真的是无可奈何。当你和一个整天开坦克去撵叛军的总统打交道，还有什么除了权钱交易以外的话题么？
趁我们的环境中，至少是城市中，还有一定的社会机制，社会功能，就要用它们维护公民权益。若是反而娇情地抵触已有的制度，再建立的话，谁能保证你不是牺牲品呢？

【非洲现实】
V：What was your end game going into The Ambassador？ When you first envisioned the project, what did you hope to find out and in a perfect world what were you going to get out of it？
B：Well, I’m a “Let’s see what happens” kind of guy. I was thinking what kind of people we will meet, and what sort of environment will I be involved in. But I did have ideas about what kind of place this Central African Republic is. It is the most forgotten country in Africa if not the world; it does attract a lot of shady people because it is the ultimate hideaway. So, I did suspect I would meet some bizarre characters, which I really did, but I had no idea that I would run into characters such as the head of security of that was assassinated. That was something that really came as a surprise. I was also, almost on a daily basis, shocked about how easy it was for me to operate in the Central African Republic, and how few questions I was confronted with about who I was and what I was up to. Take a look at the most obvious question, “How come a very white guy is representing an African country to another African country？” This very obvious question was never asked by anybody. I had the ambition or idea that a diplomatic channel would be an access ticket, it would grant me access to the inner sanctuaries of power in a failed African state, and it surely did.
V：How much were you willing to pay to buy diplomatic credentials？ How did you get in contact with those people that you were trying to buy them from？ It almost seemed that you were Googling people in the movie.
B：Well, I did do a lot of research about this business of obtaining diplomatic access. There are a lot of scholars in this field. What I found out in an early stage was that anything below a hundred thousand dollars is a scam, and to be avoided. Further more, if they don’t ask to meet you in person, before anything happens, then it is also a scam. Third of all, if they do not fairly quickly suggest a meeting with a representative of the government that you are to represent, it is also a scam. But apart from that, it’s incredibly easy, and if you have the money and you have a business suit and you are capable of speaking English or French you are in the loop.
V：In a place that is that openly corrupt, you had the match factory as a cover, and I was curious how the cover would function, and why you planned that, and how that worked.
B：As a cover it was working really well, I would say, and having an Indian matchmaking expert come to town made me seem very credible. The idea that would actually go all the way to have an Indian matchmaker flown in simply doesn’t seem possible. Actually, if the place hadn’t been as corrupt as it is and dysfunctional as it is, the business model for the match factory really worked. According to the Indian match expert, he said, “We could make a lot of money on this.”
【拍摄伪装】
V：When you were meeting with diplomatic paper brokers, how in character were you when dealing with them？
B：I was being an alternate version of myself. I told them I was a hugely successful media entrepreneur from Denmark. That I made a lot of money in publishing and film producing – which I have not at all – and that I was looking for a second career. That’s about it.
V：They didn’t ask much further than that？
B：No. From the beginning I was really concerned what happened if people would really Google me in depth, because if you do begin to peel the layers of Mr. Cortzen, you will end up with me, but that apparently never happened.
V：There’s a lot of people that you filmed where I wondered what you had to say to these people for them to allow you to film them. What was your cover, and what were they thinking that was the reason for filming them？
B：We were using a Canon EOS camera, which looks like a still camera. I told them the photographer was my first officer, because it sounds official and impressive. So they thought he was taking still pictures and they didn’t care, really. Eventually we got to film a lot of things, which would be impossible to film, such as the whole process of leaving with Mr. Gilbert. [Brügger speaks here of a sequence in the film when the gold-toothed, crocodile-smiled diamond-mine owner, Mr. Gilbert takes Brügger on a tour of the mine, and as they're leaving in an SUV, Gilbert's Muslim child-bride tries to jump in the car with them. Gilbert shoves her out and exhorts them not to "shame him in front of the white men."]
【我最想知道的】
V：Do you know what has happened to Colin Evans and Mr. Tijssen？ What’s happened to them since you showed them in the movie？
B：I don’t know really. The website of Colin Evans seems to have closed down more or less. They have a front page saying, “We do not sell diplomatic titles.” Willem Tijssen I have heard a lot from. He’s very angry, and very active on the internet, slandering me and the film. He has a blog where he writes about it. He tried to stop the screening of the film when it premiered in Amsterdam at the IDFA Festival. He went on a hot show with a debate with the chairman of the festival, and then went on the most popular news talk show, but he really did a bad job for himself, I will say. But he did great PR for the film.
V：What is his excuse, or how does he explain his function？
B：I don’t know really. I don’t understand. Take a look at his blog. [The blog in question seems to have been removed, but I did find comments from Tijssen where he basically claims that Brügger is a Nazi because of his association with Lars von Trier, who is a Nazi because he made that comment about "I understand Hitler." Which only makes Von Trier a Nazi if you're an idiot.]
V：For you personally, which place was scarier？ Where did you fear more for your personal safety？ Liberia or Central African Republic？
B：Definitely the Central African Republic, because it is the lack of reality principle and causality is really stressful. It’s a place where anything can happen anytime, but that is also what makes it so very interesting.
V：You mean because you just don’t know what people’s motives are or why they’re even there.
B：Exactly, and having cocktails with the son of the President, maybe ten minutes later you will find yourself in a torture dungeon, not because of something you have said or done but because of something completely out of your control because of the lack of causality. Furthermore, being very white and being very visible, of course, makes you feel very exposed. On the other hand, by being so very exposed and visible, dressing like a neo-colonial dandy, people think, “If he is dressing like this he has to be for real.” No one in their right mind would come to CAR wearing these outfits without being for real. Furthermore, they would think he has been very rich and powerful, so we will not kill him.
《大使》影评(三)：关于大使
片子的大致脉络说复杂也不复杂：导演通过某中介给自己办了一个利比亚驻CAR的大使身份，名义上要兴建一座火柴厂以支持地方经济，但实际上则是搭上某黑老哥的线参与钻石走私
第一家中介的老板本人还挺上镜
时刻不忘黑一把
这个网站早已打不开了，但简单的搜索还能发现其他类似的中介，看得俺也想整一个耍耍...
也不知道是不是钓鱼网站
但最后这家中介没法deliver
原因也不复杂
找的第二家其实感觉也不太靠谱，声称很有关系的老板一直不现身，只跟一位大叔对接
JFK shit
合同倒是写得有模有样的
其实身份没完全搞定就匆匆进入CAR，还得好好熟悉熟悉环境；先跟翻译套近乎
深得民心，然后被推翻
貌不惊人的法国胖子，来头不小
印度同行的忠告
势力纷杂
进入CAR需要一个借口，导演给出的理由是修建火柴厂
拉上一个真会做火柴的三哥，把戏做足
但是正题不能忘，得找有矿的矿主
黑老哥跟前任一把手关系还不错；改朝换代后，又得重新开始舔...
实地考察blood diamond
黑老哥能开矿，也不是一般人
与地方官员采风
老少咸宜
整部片子穿插了不少或讽刺或感慨的居高临下的评论
呵呵
holier than thou
呵呵
状态来了装个B，倍儿爽
呵呵
其实火柴厂的点子一开始就没啥前途
发财秘诀
红包开道，应该能报销吧
为了减少费用，导演找律师改了一份合同；等到签约临门一脚，果然有惊喜
临时加塞不稀罕，50%的临时加塞不是来搞笑的吧...
女秘书扯了一大段，结果还是签了
今日痛饮庆功酒
funny...
酒后继续吹牛逼
这么牛的公司是啥来头呢？法国胖子知道
好家伙，搞没搞错
签了约后，黑老哥就消失了
剩下的两位老哥看着也挺精神...
难搞的是，签的合同也不在手上
这下子真SB了
印度同行灌了点鸡汤
然后翻译也开始提供惊喜了...
看老兄你这模样实在信不过啊
签的到底是啥玩意
导演这时候的口气居然还很和蔼
在提心吊胆中，黑老哥的钻石终于有货了；可怎么偷运出境又成了问题
能想到塞给女秘书，这翻译也不简单
女秘书终于发飙了...
片子最后收尾比较突兀，有意无意地跳过了很多细节：导演突然就顺利拿到了“真正的”假证，离开了CAR；跟黑老哥拿到的钻石怎么处理也没交代...我反正还有点疑问：拍片子的经费从哪儿来、办假证的钱能报销么
关于一直悬在空中的使馆任命，全篇给了不下十个给中介打电话的镜头；一开始男主还能平心静气地问询
worried
该配合你演出的我演啥
逐渐变为desperate
就像不在服务区的前任一样...
法国胖子挂掉后，导演也实在沉不住气了
就这么社死了的Willem，后来一直企图阻止这部电影的上映
网上搜到篇导演的采访说因为很难运出境，钻石在当地其实是买方市场，最后只能便宜卖给某位dealer后支持一下火柴厂
当面对某个愤怒的提问者问出的：How do you feel about being an inernational criminal？
导演简单地回答：I think it beats being a national criminal
