Strange to think that 20 or so years ago Bill Forsyth was one of the rising star directors of British cinema. His breakthrough film, the 1981 film Gregory's Girl, was a beguiling view of a teenage love, bolstered by a memorable debut by John Gordon-Sinclair as the eponymous Greg, a gawky, awkward pupil at a big Scottish high school. Forsyth's fallen of the map of late--his big-budget foray, Being Human bombed massively--all of which makes this sequel to Gregory's Girl all the more understandable. Thankfully, what might seem like a rather cynical exercise in milking a sure-fire hit formula has produced a gently comic film. Turning out to be one of Forsyth's most ambitious and satisfying movies, Gregory's Two Girls catches up with Greg after all these years. Still as awkward as ever, he's teaching English in the school he attended as a teenager, where he's given to fantasising about one of his pupils, the self-assured Francis, while turning down the ardent advances of fellow teacher Bel. Caught between these two women, Greg is embroiled in a spot of industrial espionage, exposing a racket in torture equipment which his old school friend, local businessman Rowan is involved in. 　　Like the best of Forsyth's work, an air of sweet melancholy hangs over the film. For all its inspired comic moments, Forsyth's film is a poignant exploration of the sense of failure Greg feels for standing still while those around him are moving on. By the end, as Greg's comes out of his shell and engages fully with the world around him, the film becomes a study in renewal and second chances. --Edward Lawrenson 　　译文(3): 奇怪的是，大约20年前，比尔·福赛斯是英国电影界的后起之秀导演之【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。他的突破性电影，1981年的电影《格雷戈里的女孩》，是一部关于青少年爱情的迷人视角，约翰·戈登·辛克莱（John Gordon Sinclair）饰演的同名格雷格（Greg）令人难忘的处女作为其提供了支持，格雷格是苏格兰一所大型高中的一名笨拙笨拙的学生。福赛斯最近的失败——他的大预算突袭，《成为人类》遭到了大规模轰炸——所有这些都让《格雷戈里的女孩》的续集变得更加容易理解。值得庆幸的是，在榨取一种稳操胜券的配方奶粉方面，这似乎是一种相当愤世嫉俗的做法，但却制作了一部温和的喜剧电影。格雷戈里的《两个女孩》是福赛斯最雄心勃勃、最令人满意的电影之一，多年后，它赶上了格雷戈里。他仍然和以往一样尴尬，在他十几岁时就读的学校教英语，在那里他习惯于幻想自己的一个学生，自信的弗朗西斯，同时拒绝了同为老师的贝尔的热情追求。格雷格被夹在这两名女性之间，卷入了一场工业间谍活动，揭露了他的老校友、当地商人罗文参与的一场酷刑设备交易。
