鲍尔瑞大街

　　The film chronicles three desperate days in a then impoverished lower Manhattan neighborhood, New Yorks skid row: the Bowery. It is the story of Ray (Ray Salyer), a railroad worker, who drifts on to the Bowery to have a drunken spree after a long bout of laying tracks and then falls in with a band of drunks who help him spend his money.


　　Ray, the "new guy on the Bowery," whose biceps still fill out his sleeves, looks preoccupied as he enters the "Confidence Bar & Grill". Surrounded by various alcoholics in advanced states of decay, he buys them rounds of drinks, then blacks out on his first night, and wakes up to discover that his suitcase has been stolen.


　　The thief (Gorman Hendricks) becomes the closest thing he has to a friend...and just like that, Ray embarks on a trip to hell, becoming part of the Bowery. In a series of Beckettian portraits, the protagonists, congregations of winos, listless listeners, blubber through numerous bar scenes, games of dominos around a flophouse stove, and a sermon at the Bowery Mission. Will Ray find his way out of this uncaring urban jungle?

没找到字幕，靠我这塑料耳朵硬听的。一个铁路工人走进了鲍尔瑞大街，并在其中度过了三天时光，街上满是失业者、酒鬼，充斥着醉酒、行窃、暴力犯罪。影片体现人道主义之处有三，1、牧师的祷告，“纽约都将鲍尔瑞大街这条最古老的街道视为最悲伤的地方，可谁又是生于此的呢？谁不是满怀野心的降临人世呢？”2、小偷给了工人一些钱，希望可以帮助他离开这里，是我最热衷参与的底层互助。3、街道电影的重要主题是“无家可归”，街道成为家之所在也可为流离失所者提供些许慰藉。

不是纪录片吧，实验电影，剧本痕迹还是有的，据说演员都确实是在街上的酒鬼。

美则美矣，太绝望了...今天本来就自我怀疑到极点的心情简直无法面对这样一部“纪录片”...哎！再次萌生了强烈的离开纽约的欲望。PS.剧情简介是错的

极为现实主义的手法表现纽约底层酒鬼流浪汉们的生活，镜头游走于记录与表演之间，作为50年代的电影足够先锋了~
