英雌真的很辛苦

Brandon Flowers 在他單飛後首張專輯 Flamingo 主打曲 Crossfire 的音樂帶裡被忍者綁架, Charlize Theron 連續出現三次只是為了救他。

嗯,通常英雄救美時,一定強調英雄多麼地英勇善戰,一夫當關如入無人之地,一次就將敵人殺個片甲不留抱得美人歸。而這首音樂帶裡的男主角卻要麻煩英雌解救三次,就我的理解,一定是:
一,Charlize Theron 耐力不足不太能打,尤其2:49的她打得實在不太熟練,架勢有餘,速度不足,實在應該全部以慢動作呈現動作畫面,才會既優美又動人。
二,英雌救男的重點在當他們相見後那種喜悅,一種不言而喻的幸福,所以過程不重要,重要的是結果,特別是1:14英雌第一次現身的畫面,最好能停格20秒,再慢慢臉部特寫強調情感,而非動作。
三,這一切不過是被綁男主角的夢,因為英雌不可能來救三次。
四,壞人很笨,因為第一次被救走後,第二次就該格殺勿論,哪論得到英雌救三次。

當然,一般英雄救到的美人在英雄的車上一定會小鳥依人在英雄肩頭甜甜蜜蜜。不過這裡被英雌救回家的男人雖然被救三次,還是要保有一些些小小的男性尊嚴,絕不可痛哭失聲也不可故做輕鬆,更不能主動示弱去黏巴達英雌,英雌救完了人還得含情脈脈看著男人,最後再一把將他擁入懷,唉。

不論如何說來嫌去,這也算顛覆傳統之作,雖不合理但值得鼓勵。

話說在南非出生的 Charlize Theron 也有過一段不愉快的家庭暴力歷,十五歲時親眼目睹母親為了保護自己不受攻擊,將長期酗酒的醉父射殺身亡。


Brandon Flowers-Crossfire

There’s a still in the street outside your window
You’re keepin’ secrets on your pillow
Let me inside, no cause for alarm
I promise tonight not to do no harm
I promise you baby, I won't be no harm

And we're caught up in the crossfire
A heaven and hell
And were searching for shelter
Lay your body down...

Watching your dress as you turn down the light
I forget all about the storm outside
Dark clouds roll their way over town
Heartache and pain came pouring down like
Chaos in the rain, yeah
They're handing it out

And we're caught up in the crossfire
Heaven and hell
And were searching for shelter
Lay your body down...

Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
His fire he airs all through their beating vein.
And when the hardest part is over we'll be here
And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears
Boundaries of our fears

Lay your body down

Next to mine...
