聖誕元旦假期我們去電影院看了電影《A complete unknown 》。
非常推薦這個電影, 光是在影院的音響聽老歌就是享受。這部電影記錄了Bob Dylan 剛成名到1965年他轉型成為擺滾明星的過程。
抄一下:《Like a Rolling Stone》(參考譯名《像一塊滾石》)是美國唱作人鮑勃·迪倫的一首歌曲,以單曲形式發行於1965年。該曲標誌著迪倫的形象由民謠歌手轉變為搖滾明星,被公認為是二戰後流行樂領域最有影響力的歌曲之一。作為一個唱片藝術家和表演者,迪倫的成就主要以他的演藝生涯為核心,但他最大的貢獻被普遍認為是他的作詞。2016年10月13日,瑞典學院授予迪倫諾貝爾文學獎,表彰其“在美國歌曲傳統中創造了新的詩歌表達”。但委員會起初數日始終未能聯絡到迪倫本人,也不知他會否出席頒獎,頒授諾貝爾文學獎的瑞典學院基本上已經放棄聯絡迪倫。直到10月29日,迪倫終於打破沉默,致電瑞典學院,表示自己願意接受諾獎。
電影中著墨較多的其中一段,它描述 Bob Dylan 與同為創作歌手的Joan Baez 的相識相知,這一段時期的他倆可以稱為靈魂伴侶。
電影中的選角,Bob Dylan 的扮演者就不說他啦,論Bob Dylan,講的是實力,說帥就不合適了,對吧。Joan 的選角可以打九十分,我們曾經現場看過她的演唱,魅力無限,高齡老人的她啦,一個字,服。電影給她拍的美化不少,電影以各種方式展示她的感性,比如她線條清晰的麵部輪廓,她的獨特魅力在鏡頭下非常性感,妙!
順便插一句,Joan 為她與Dylan 之間的這段情寫了一首歌曲 "Diamonds and Rust"《袖扣》,動人心弦。
讓我覺得很舒服的是電影中的歌曲演唱者的表現,他們的演唱令這個電影增色不少,我甚至覺得比原唱更好聽。
Diamonds and Rust
Well, I'll be damned
Here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And you happened to call
And here I sit
Hand on the telephone
Hearing a voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a fall
As I remember your eyes
Were bluer than robin's eggs
My poetry was lousy you said
Where are you calling from?
A booth in the midwest
Ten years ago
I bought you some cufflinks
You brought me something
We both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Well, you burst on the scene
Already a legend
The unwashed phenomenon
The original vagabond
You strayed into my arms
And there you stayed
Temporarily lost at sea
The Madonna was yours for free
Yes, the girl on the half-shell
Could keep you unharmed
Now I see you standing
With brown leaves falling all around
And snow in your hair
Now you're smiling out the window
Of that crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes out white clouds
Mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could have died then and there
Now you're telling me
You're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You who are so good with words
And at keeping things vague
'Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's all come back too clearly
Yes, I loved you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid.
