Crash



Crash衝撞……從頭到尾,片刻未停止過。車與車在衝撞、人與人在衝撞、心與心在衝撞、黑與白在衝撞,善與惡在衝撞……
Crash在題材上涵蓋的點太多了,種族歧視、文化、法律、政治、貧富差距、人際關係、社區問題、移民問題……,所以劇情看起來有點混亂,原本"平靜"的洛杉磯,原本沒人會鳥你,但一場意外的撞車,讓這裏變成一窩蜂,每個人都在鳥你,你也在鳥每個人……於是一時之間粉墨登場,個個主角猶如配角般平凡而實在……。
我最服這部影片的剪接,可以把那麼多零碎的片斷拍得如此環環相扣,譬如說一開始波斯人買手槍,女兒最後問"你給槍還是還錢,我寧願你還錢",而那個店主雖然口口聲聲聖戰云云,最後還是選擇給槍,這點也暗示了美國人的玩火自焚……,最後警察在檢查現場,跟另外一個員警閒聊,他們都說他們戒煙了,而實際上他們都在吸,這也暗示了"冷"和口是心非。歇斯底里的波斯店主向黑人鎖匠開火,小女兒身著不死神衣沖上去擋了那一槍,痛哮的鎖匠發現女兒沒事,歡天喜地抱著女兒回屋去了,留下莫名其妙又心有餘悸的波斯店主愣在當場……,因為老爸的泌尿病怎樣被耽擱救援而惱火的員警,借機發洩在一黑人導演的女人身上……這大概是全劇最邪惡的一幕了,在後來一次翻車中,他卻神勇地救了那個女人一命,他甚至幫她拉了拉裙腳,嘿,這則是最偉大的一幕了。當然影片中最無奈的一幕要數最後那個員警過於因過於"敏銳"的錯殺了。
不過很令我不爽的是影片很多地方不忘踩亞洲人一腳,特別是中國人,TMD!
在燒車的時候唱的 in the deep ,不錯聽意境又深遠


Bird York - In The Deep

thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
but something happens
don't see it coming, now
you can't stop yourself.
now you're out there swimming
in the deep.
in the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you... let go
till you shed your pride and you climb to heaven
and you throw yourself off.
now you're out there spinning
in the deep.

INTERLUDE

and now you're out there spinning
and now you're out there swimming
in the deep.
in the deep.

IN THE SILENCE
ALL YOUR SECRETS WILL
RAISE THEIR WEARY HEADS
WELL, YOU CAN"T PIN YOURSELF
BACK TOGETHER WITH WHO
YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE

NOW YOU'RE OUT THERE LIVING
IN THE DEEP

in the deep.

NOW YOU'RE OUT THERE SPINNING
IN THE DEEP

(if you want to be given everything,
give everything up.)
