一部笑中有淚，苦澀和溫馨交織的電影，性格造就了巴尼各種出格行為，這些行為的后果又進(jìn)一步把巴尼的性格夯實(shí)得更加又臭又硬。在這些各種劣跡包裹下又是一個(gè)異常真誠(chéng)、頑固的靈魂。他的生活中錯(cuò)過(guò)了很多，又收獲了很多。這如同每個(gè)普通人的真實(shí)人生寫(xiě)照：自己所承受的都是自己所選擇的。
曲目：Dance Me To The End Of Love
選自L(fǎng)eonard Cohen 1989年專(zhuān)輯【Various Positions】
接近5分鐘的全曲在一種輕快的節(jié)奏中進(jìn)行，但是憂(yōu)郁的情緒卻一直縈繞在旋律中，而Cohen的平靜唱腔又注入了淡然。巴洛克古典式的懷舊感消解了輕快甚至輕佻的節(jié)奏，這是屬于一份睿智老人的情懷，也許他已經(jīng)無(wú)法起舞，但是當(dāng)小提琴燃燒著旋律時(shí)，恐懼在愛(ài)和時(shí)間的盡頭也已消失。
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
初看這部電影時(shí)就四個(gè)字：云山霧繞，基本認(rèn)定這不是一部純正的漫畫(huà)英雄電影，更像一部文藝片，或者至少是一部反傳統(tǒng)、挽歌式的漫畫(huà)電影。猶記得看了某漫畫(huà)大神引經(jīng)據(jù)典的解讀文，才有些不清不楚的了解，不過(guò)這部電影的整體色調(diào)依然是我非常喜歡的。
曲目：Hallelujah
選自L(fǎng)eonard Cohen 1989年專(zhuān)輯【Various Positions】
這也許是Cohen老爺子在中國(guó)最有知名度的一首歌吧，從低沉的開(kāi)始再到情緒高亢的大合唱副歌，簡(jiǎn)單而流暢，誠(chéng)摯的情緒一路充盈在歌曲中。Cohen巧妙的引用了圣經(jīng)故事中最能代表多面人性的大衛(wèi)王、以及悲劇收?qǐng)龅挠⑿鄞罅κ繀O，宗教意味，寬恕的主題又和電影不謀而合。副歌中反復(fù)唱出的“Hallelujah”，一面是人的悲慟，一面又是神的寬恕，無(wú)論感受到哪一面都讓人無(wú)不動(dòng)容。
Now Ive heard there was a secret chord
That david played, and it pleased the lord
But you dont really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
I dont even know the name
But if I did, well really, whats it to you?
Theres a blaze of light
In every word
It doesnt matter which you heard
The holy or the broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I did my best, it wasnt much
I couldnt feel, so I tried to touch
Ive told the truth, I didnt come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
Ill stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
關(guān)于Cohen的紀(jì)錄片有太多，而這部因參與者眾多而且份量十足，所以顯得特別有紀(jì)念意義。今年剛好是這部音樂(lè)片/紀(jì)錄片的十周年。到今天，U2依然不緊不慢的發(fā)行著新專(zhuān)輯；而Nick cave似乎越來(lái)越內(nèi)斂同時(shí)保持旺盛的創(chuàng)造力，除了自己的專(zhuān)輯，還投身在電影原聲的創(chuàng)作中；Jarvis Cocker不再是那個(gè)pulp樂(lè)團(tuán)外露、風(fēng)頭十足的主唱，而有向著探索實(shí)驗(yàn)音樂(lè)的可能。而這些獨(dú)當(dāng)一面的音樂(lè)人當(dāng)時(shí)確都是懷著一顆雀躍的心向Cohen老爺子致敬。到今天，這部音樂(lè)紀(jì)錄片如果再重現(xiàn)，那是怎么也免不了哀傷的情緒了。
曲目：Tower Of Song
選自L(fǎng)eonard Cohen 1988年專(zhuān)輯【I'm Your Man】與U2合作重新編曲、錄音。
對(duì)比1988年的原版，U2編曲版的層次更加豐富，加入的打擊樂(lè)豐富了更多的低音和節(jié)奏感，鋼琴的爵士化處理增添了華麗的感覺(jué)。而Cohen的沉郁嗓音如故，只是比原版的黑色幽默和悲傷之余，更多了幾分從容不迫，而曲中U2的人聲如同連接了兩個(gè)時(shí)代，將屬于Cohen的優(yōu)雅、厚重以一種飄逸的風(fēng)格來(lái)繼承。
另外單獨(dú)提一句，這首曲子在Cohen2014年的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)專(zhuān)輯【Live in dublin】中的演繹更是一絕，蒼老的人聲有一種無(wú)視時(shí)間的自得其樂(lè)和韌性。
Well my friends are gone
And my hair is grey
I ache in the places where
I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but
I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams:
How lonely does it get
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A hundred floors above me
In the Tower of Song
I was born like this
I had no choice
I was born with the gift of
A golden voice
And twenty-seven angels
From the Great Beyond
They tied me to this table right here
In the Tower of Song
Now you can say that I've grown bitter
But of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels
In the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement coming
But I may be wrong
You see you hear these funny voices
In the Tower of Song
I see you standing on the other side
I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you baby
I loved you way back when
And all the bridges are burning
That we might have crossed
But I feel so close to everything
That we lost
We'll never We'll never have to lose it again
Now I bid you farewell
I don't know when I'll be back
There moving us tomorrow to
That tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby
Long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly
From a window in the Tower of Song
I'll be speaking to you sweetly
From a window in the Tower of Song
Yeah my friends are gone
And my hair is grey
I ache in the places
Where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song
Mel Gibson親自擔(dān)綱編、導(dǎo)、演于一身的【耶穌受難記】于2004年上映，引起的巨大爭(zhēng)議到現(xiàn)在都還記憶猶新，關(guān)于運(yùn)用如此寫(xiě)實(shí)殘酷的畫(huà)面來(lái)講述耶穌的故事是否合適，個(gè)人覺(jué)得是一個(gè)見(jiàn)仁見(jiàn)智的問(wèn)題。如果是一個(gè)神學(xué)研究人員或者狂熱的神學(xué)愛(ài)好者，或者喜歡嘗試不同觀(guān)影體驗(yàn)的電影迷，那這部電影是值得一看的。個(gè)人甚至覺(jué)得這部電影比【勇敢的心】更震撼，在技巧上也更優(yōu)秀。
曲目：By The Rivers Dark
選自 Leonard Cohen 2001年專(zhuān)輯【Ten New Songs】
這部電影的原聲歌曲選曲的又是非常有品味，特別是選擇Cohen的這首By The Rivers Dark，以及Bob Dylan的Not Dark Yet，相互呼應(yīng)，又與電影的情節(jié)形成默契。
而這首曲子出自Cohen離開(kāi)唱片業(yè)達(dá)9年之久后的復(fù)出第一張專(zhuān)輯，9年隱士般的平靜生活，也許這張專(zhuān)輯的歌曲都是來(lái)自3000多個(gè)日夜、無(wú)數(shù)個(gè)瞬間的頓悟，深邃的歌詞配上優(yōu)雅而內(nèi)斂?jī)?yōu)美的旋律，除了招牌式的吉他，加入更加豐滿(mǎn)的配器以后，一張更有時(shí)代感而又保持了Cohen自身音樂(lè)魅力的曲子就一首首這樣誕生了。
By the rivers dark
I wandered on.
I lived my life
in Babylon.
And I did forget
My holy song:
And I had no strength
In Babylon.
By the rivers dark
Where I could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me.
And he cut my lip
And he cut my heart.
So I could not drink
From the river dark.
And he covered me,
And I saw within,
My lawless heart
And my wedding ring,
I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there,
Who was hunting me.
By the rivers dark
I panicked on.
I belonged at last
to Babylon.
Then he struck my heart
With a deadly force,
And he said, 'This heart:
It is not yours.'
And he gave the wind
My wedding ring;
And he circled us
With everything.
By the rivers dark,
In a wounded dawn,
I live my life
In Babylon.
Though I take my song
From a withered limb,
Both song and tree,
They sing for him.
Be the truth unsaid
And the blessing gone,
If I forget
My Babylon.
I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there,
Who was hunting me.
By the rivers dark,
Where it all goes on;
By the rivers dark
In Babylon.
2003年【再見(jiàn)列寧】上映引發(fā)如潮好評(píng)后，男主Daniel Brühl攜帶著新作品【替天行道三人行】在2年后重新登場(chǎng)。這部電影也選擇了Leonard Cohen的歌曲作為電影插曲，同這首歌閃耀的理想主義色彩一樣，這部電影比【再見(jiàn)列寧】相同的是戲謔，但多了更多的理想主義色彩，以及更青春的無(wú)政府主義色彩。如果說(shuō)【再見(jiàn)列寧】是嘲諷一種集權(quán)的話(huà)，那【替天行道三人行】就是向另一種同樣讓人無(wú)法獲得安全感的意識(shí)形態(tài)進(jìn)行調(diào)戲。如果喜歡一些別樣的青春片，那這部部冷場(chǎng)，又犀利的電影肯定不應(yīng)該被錯(cuò)過(guò)。
曲目：Sisters Of Mercy
選自 Leonard Cohen 1967年的首張個(gè)人專(zhuān)輯【Songs Of Leonard Cohen】
這又是一首選自Cohen33歲發(fā)行的首張專(zhuān)輯的歌曲，清脆的吉他以外，加入的手搖鈴、小型打擊樂(lè)、悠揚(yáng)的笛子、活潑的風(fēng)琴，無(wú)不在還原一個(gè)當(dāng)時(shí)不乏陽(yáng)光氣息而純真的Cohen,而這樣的青春氣息出現(xiàn)在一部描寫(xiě)新時(shí)代青年故事的電影中，毫無(wú)違和，只因這首歌中的懷舊意象，如同那些尋求出路的青年的勇氣一樣—— 不合時(shí)宜，但卻能打動(dòng)你的心。
Oh the sisters of mercy
they are not departed or gone,
they were waiting for me
when I thought that I just can't go on
And they brought me their comfort
and later they brought me this song
Oh I hope you run into them
you who've been travelling so long
You who must leave everything
that you cannot control
it begins with your family
but soon it comes round to your soul
well, I've been where you're hanging
I think I can see how you're pinned
When you're not feeling holy
your loneliness tells that you've sinned
They lay down beside me
I made my confession to them
they touched both my eyes
and I touched the dew on their hem
If your life is a leaf
that the seasons tear off and condemn
they will bind you with love
that is graceful and green as a stem
When I left they were sleeping
I hope you run into them soon
don't turn on the light
you can read their address by the moon
and you won't make me jealous
if I heard that they sweetened your night
we weren't lovers like that
and besides it would still be all right
we weren't lovers like that
and besides it would still be all right
2000年上映的【奇跡小子】的臺(tái)前幕后陣容都顯得有噱頭，原著出自普利策小說(shuō)獎(jiǎng)得主Michael Chabon，導(dǎo)演是剛拍完那部經(jīng)典警匪片【洛城機(jī)密】的Curtis Hanson，演員方面，Michael Douglas自不用說(shuō)，還有后面成為拯救世界的英雄的蜘蛛俠和鋼鐵俠，三個(gè)男人戲份有輕重，但是都貼有wonder的標(biāo)簽，只是他們都遇上了麻煩，而電影就圍繞著這些麻煩造成的沖突，講了一個(gè)詼諧又不失溫暖的故事。
曲目：Waiting for the Miracle
選自 Leonard Cohen1992年專(zhuān)輯【The Future】
這又是一張值得收藏的電影原聲歌曲專(zhuān)輯，可以說(shuō)這張?jiān)晫?zhuān)輯的陣容就是一部封神榜，除了Leonard Cohen以外，還包括John Lennon、Bob Dylan、Neil Young、Van Morrison等。而且這張?jiān)曋?b>Bob Dylan的Things Have Changed 還獲得了73屆奧斯卡的最佳原創(chuàng)歌曲大獎(jiǎng)。不過(guò)Cohen的曲子卻依然有他獨(dú)到的魅力。
Waiting for the Miracle 不是第一次出現(xiàn)在電影中，在這部2000年的【奇跡小子】之前，還出現(xiàn)在了Oliver Stone的【天生殺人狂】之中，不過(guò)在和不同電影故事，以及不同電影風(fēng)格的混合后，被賦予了不同的解讀，或者產(chǎn)生了不同的效果。在這里的Waiting for the Miracle，旋律中深深的頹唐和無(wú)力，正是男主的寫(xiě)照，不斷起伏的貝斯如同生活中的暗潮來(lái)襲，而清脆美麗的吉他solo也一直貫穿整個(gè)旋律，加上偶爾浮現(xiàn)的輕快口哨聲，似乎又在預(yù)示男主最終會(huì)等待生活的奇跡到來(lái)。有時(shí)候真不知道是歌曲成全了電影，還是電影又解讀了音樂(lè)的另一層狀態(tài)。
到此，2000年以來(lái)的影視作品中出現(xiàn)過(guò)的，我有印象的Cohen單曲回顧就算完結(jié)了，第Ⅲ篇就是回顧一些90年代影視中的Cohen歌曲了，希望自己的記憶還能靠得住。
最后，當(dāng)然是更新了的網(wǎng)易云歌單：Leonard Cohen Songs on Camera
