最后胜利



1987年拍摄的老片子,导演谭家明,编剧竟然是王家卫,果然剧情已经显出《旺角卡门》的影子,只不过《最后胜利》的剧情更加黑色一些。

很难想象黑帮片竟然可以这样拍,没有了兄弟豪情和街头火拼,所剩下只是淡淡的笑料和浅浅的爱情。难怪当年这部电影在香港票房一般,仅仅得了一个最佳剪辑的金像奖。

最佳剪辑是因为曾志伟飞车救下李丽珍的镜头吧,我看到这里的时候都有点惊讶,仿佛看到他脚踏五彩祥云,身披金甲圣衣,来接紫霞仙子了。这份浪漫豪情,又怎能不打动阿珍的芳心。

请原谅我用阿珍来代称片中李丽珍的角色。我依稀记得在我的中学时光,香港录像里面的那个阿珍,尽管都是配角,却一脸傻笑的纯真面容。

后来她为了搏出位,拍摄了为数不多的三级片,这些三级片让多少的青年人热血沸腾啊。我在中学的书桌上发现有人用小刀刻在书桌里面的名字――李丽珍。当时我还以为学校里面也有一个叫李丽珍的,现在想想估计是年轻人荷尔蒙旺盛的结果吧。

《最后胜利》里的阿珍,刚刚20出头,娃娃脸上稚气未消,但却是个敢爱敢恨的角色。还记得《千言万语》里面阿珍从飞驰的汽车上跳下的镜头,这是现在我对这部电影的全部印象。

与之相反的是,曾志伟永远都是唯唯诺诺的角色,尽管那个时候他也很年轻。

总有一天,他会老去,于是就变成了《半支烟》里面的那个厨师。只不过李丽珍变成了舒淇,《深爱着你》变成了《我只在乎你》。

陈百强的《深爱着你》在这部电影里通篇响起,阿珍和曾志伟都亲身献唱这首歌,我差点以为这是一部加长版的MV。不过这首歌真的非常符合电影的意境,很通俗、很香港也很好听。

深爱着你歌词
陈百强:深爱着你
曲:林哲司词:林敏聪编曲:徐日勤
你说过爱在这一生里
有过快乐与心碎
你说过爱在我的身边
悄悄看我熟睡
听说你在这刻想我
听说你在记起我
我也记着每刻往事
也记挂你在哪儿
时日如飞
今天在我心里
是充满不褪的记忆
时日如飞
我似呆在这地
任一天天过去
任一生飘过去
任一切飘去再没法追
心中想你
如今想你
怀念昨天的你
怀念着你
怀念着你
红着泪眼在记起
心中想你
如今想你
怀念昨天 的一切
怀念着你
怀念着你
流着泪自觉得深爱着你

鲍勃・迪伦――低地的愁容女士

今天看土摩托日记的迪伦已死,在他的博客上面可以听迪伦的一首歌――《低地的愁容女士》(Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands)。说句实在话,我觉得非常好听,也许是因为我是半夜听的缘故把。

如果不是年轻的时候喜欢看颜峻的乐评,我恐怕至今都不知道鲍勃・迪伦是谁。如果不是因为喜欢看《阿甘正传》,我恐怕也不会知道迪伦那首著名的反战歌曲《风中飞扬》(Blowin` in the wind)。说句实在话,我到现在都觉得任何人翻唱《风中飞扬》这首歌都要比迪伦本身出色,哪怕是Jenny演唱的版本(就是阿甘嘴里的you are my girl)。

但是,我要说但是,《低地的愁容女士》(Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands)这首歌看来只有迪伦本身才能唱出那种味道。

为了让这篇文章显得不是那么短,我会粘贴《低地的愁容女士》(Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands)的所有歌词。请原谅,我无法把它翻译成中文,还是原汁原味的好啊。

With your mercury mouth in the missionary times,
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes,
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes,
Oh, who among them do they think could bury you?
With your pockets well protected at last,
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass,
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass,
Who among them do they think could carry you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Should I leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns,
Who among them would try to impress you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Should I leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss,
And you wouldn't know it would happen like this,
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug,
And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs,
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs,
Who among them do you think could resist you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Should I leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
To show you where the dead angels are that they used to hide.
But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm,
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm,
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms,
How could they ever, ever persuade you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Should I leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row,
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go,
And your gentleness now, which you just can't help but show,
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Now you stand with your thief, you're on his parole
With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold,
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul,
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands,
Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes,
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums,
Should I leave them by your gate,
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?

Blowin' in the Wind - Peter, Paul and Mary

最近重新下载了《阿甘正传》,想要重温一下。结果发现字幕组竟然把我最喜欢的Jenny演唱Blowin' in the Wind的歌词给翻译错了,当时就像吃了一个苍蝇一样难受。而且字幕是内嵌在视频中的,我又无法更换,当时我忍痛把这部由YYeTs发布的RMVB影片给删除了。

每个人都有自己的第一次——第一次叫爸爸、妈妈,第一次上学,第一次认识自己喜欢的女生(男生),而我第一次听到Blowin' in the Wind这首歌就是当我第一次看到《阿甘正传》的时候。

这首歌的原作者是Bob Dylan,然而他那恐怖的嗓音却着实吓了我一跳。电影中Jenny在宿舍里就对阿甘说:“我要成为一个著名的歌手,就像Joan Baez那样”,这个Joan Baez竟然是Bob Dylan的好朋友,也是当时著名的民谣歌手,我在网上听了一下她演唱的版本,依然不是我所喜欢的版本。后来我终于发现了真正把这首歌给唱火的组合——Peter, Paul and Mary

在视频中,两个穿着深色西装的大男生手拿吉他,留着干净规矩的小胡子,中间是一个穿深色连衣裙的金发姑娘,三人一起重新演绎了这首Blowin' in the Wind。VeryCD上有《Peter, Paul & Mary 作品集》下载,我尤其喜欢他们所有专辑的封面,从年轻到年老,三个人永远在一起。


在他们演唱的版本中,歌曲的节奏更加紧凑,更加接近电影《阿甘正传》中Jenny版的感觉。网上有砖家叫兽说Jenny裸体弹吉他唱这首歌是对迪伦 “Blowin'In The Wind”意念的庸俗处理,那么我也引用国产电影《顽主》里的一句台词“哥们还就喜欢俗的”!

国内也有人翻唱Blowin' in the Wind这首歌,比如南方二重唱和小娟,不过她们一概唱不出Jenny的感觉。

Blowin' in the Wind歌词

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take
'Till he knows that too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

其中How many seas must a white dove sail,字幕组给翻译为“白鸽要储存多少种子”,大哥,你这听译也太离谱了。
