回复 :白天,忧郁的帕西瓦尔在父亲的殡葬店里帮死人上防腐剂,他是家族生意的准继承人;晚上,腼腆的帕西瓦尔会躲在地下夜总会的钢琴后面,用他给死人抹香料的手指弹出灵动的音符唤醒夜晚骚动的灵魂,他是天才却不敢出世的音乐家。 给帕西瓦尔提供宣泄天才和创作欲望机会的如斯特是地下夜总会的经理。相比自己沉湎于音乐世界又温柔内向的童年玩伴,如斯特名副其实地像只骄傲华丽的公鸡,夜夜笙歌美酒佳人就是他梦想中的一切,人生只在乎揭幕与谢幕之间那段高潮迭起纵情欢乐。 爱上了年轻的歌女安吉尔,帕西瓦尔意识到自己必须在梦想和父亲中选择。一个人选择太痛苦,帕西瓦尔用自己的理想感动及时行乐主义者如斯特与他同行,让他明白他们的天才和使命是为了在更广阔的音乐天地里开辟自己的风格、影响一个音乐时代。 两个年轻的音乐人走出了民风保守的乔治亚州。他们为梦想和爱踏上的路印证了30年代美国黑人音乐发展的轨迹。 ◇ 幕后制作 不断变化的档期安排、主演二人单飞的传闻不绝于耳,《爱德怀德》的发行无论对OUTKAST的粉丝还是片方都算是了却了悬在心头两年的一桩大事。《爱德怀德》也因为它的歌舞题材和全黑人组合在暑期档中极为耀眼。 影片的主演正是来自亚特兰大的饶舌组合OUTKAST两位成员,这两位曾获两次格莱美音乐奖的当红饶舌明星在片中扮演和自己身份相当吻合的黑人音乐人,但对比起《8英里》和《要钱不要命》这类传记片,OUTKAST无意模仿同行EMINEM们年纪轻轻就策划回忆录,编剧兼导演-更是OUTKAST御用MTV导演-布莱恩·巴伯量身订造的故事发生在美国30年代的舞台,一个处于保守和开放、禁锢和爆发夹缝的时代,而那个时代正好是黑人音乐发展而成的爵士乐遍地开花的时代,帕西瓦尔和如斯特的励志故事发生得极具戏剧性和典型了。 故事萌发的前传是1998年刚凭专辑“Aquemini”声名鹊起的OUTKAST产生制作与专辑同系列的电影,MTV认可了这个创意但要拿当时名气更大的Missy Elliott 和Busta Rhymes代替OUTKAST出演。自己的电影作了人家嫁衣两兄弟士气遭到打击。随后他们再构思的《爱德怀德》,终于在两人如日中天的时候面世了。 布莱恩·巴伯撰写这个故事的初衷是为了在被饶舌和街舞塞满脑子的年轻人心中培养他们对爵士时代的感情,让他们知道嬉哈、R B是怎么从威灵顿公爵、Cab Calloway这些天才的作品衍生出来的;OUTKAST推动了嬉哈音乐的发展,自然也要担负起教育年轻人娱乐不忘本的责任,影片也瞄准了OUTKAST的广大粉丝,而为了在教育前先把目标观众抓在手中,OUTKAST同时担任影片音乐监制,亲自操刀所有曲目创作乃至编排,也正因为二人在音乐水准上精益求精,影片才一再修改背景音乐而姗姗来迟。 OUTKAST的90分钟MTV 布莱恩·巴伯显然不想把《爱德怀德》拍成黑人音乐发展史,为了让影片因为现代而更好理解,30年代实际上纯粹被简化成一个舞台背景,布莱恩·巴伯赋予了它许多《红磨坊》式的-甚至《天使爱美丽》式-的美术效果:OUTKAST的音乐在Cab Calloway的腔调上混合了骚灵、散拍和说唱等风格,安德烈·本杰明和安东万·安德鲁·巴顿的唱腔也游走与爵士时代的回忆和嬉哈之间; 而影片中最招人眼的舞蹈场面更是邀请了三度获东尼奖的Hinton Battle与其“代表着美国多元化文化传统“的舞台实验室的演员们一同为影片设计了一整套混合舞步,于是在30年代的酒吧舞台摇摆舞、踢踏舞、嬉哈街舞将融合在一体出现,跨越近八十年的音乐与舞蹈在影片中重叠了,似乎把历史界限也模糊了,加之不时出现的动画效果,在不能追讨如何还原历史真相的条件下,《爱德怀德》把歌舞表演片段反复推上激情顶峰,布莱恩·巴伯对OUTKAST的知根知底、情谊深重把这个故事作为最好的宣传片送给了将在8月22日上市的电影原声。
回复 :Somewhere in the remote region, the war ends. In the midst of ruined cities and houses in the streets, in rural hamlets, everywhere where people still live, are children who have lost their homes and parents. Abandoned, hungry, and in rags, defenseless and humiliated, they wander through the world. Hunger drives them. Little streams of orphans merge into a river which rushes forward and submerges everything in its path. The children do not know any feeling; they know only the world of their enemies. They fight, steal, struggle for a mouthful of food, and violence is merely a means to get it. A gang led by Cahoun finds a refuge in an abandoned castle and encounters an old composer who has voluntarily retired into solitude from a world of hatred, treason, and crime. How can they find a common ground, how can they become mutual friends? The castle becomes their hiding place but possibly it will also be their first home which they may organize and must defend. But even for this, the price will be very high.To this simple story, the journalist, writer, poet, scriptwriter, movie director, and film theoretician Béla Balázs applied many years of experience. He and the director Géza Radványi created a work which opened a new postwar chapter in Hungarian film. Surprisingly, this film has not lost any of its impact over the years, especially on a profound philosophical level. That is to say, it is not merely a movie about war; it is not important in what location and in what period of time it takes place. It is a story outside of time about the joyless fate of children who pay dearly for the cruel war games of adults.At the time it was premiered, the movie was enthusiastically received by the critics. The main roles were taken by streetwise boys of a children's group who created their roles improvisationally in close contact with a few professional actors, and in the children's acting their own fresh experience of war's turmoil appears to be reflected. At the same time, their performance fits admirably into the mosaic of a very complex movie language. Balázs's influence revealed itself, above all, in the introductory sequences: an air raid on an amusement park, seen in a montage of dramatic situations evoking the last spasms of war, where, undoubtedly, we discern the influence of classical Soviet cinematography. Shooting, the boy's escape, the locomotive's wheels, the shadows of soldiers with submachine guns, the sound of a whistle—the images are linked together in abrupt sequences in which varying shots and expressive sharp sounds are emphasized. A perfectly planned screenplay avoided all elements of sentimentality, time-worn stereotypes of wronged children, romanticism and cheap simplification. The authors succeeded in bridging the perilous dramatic abyss of the metamorphosis of a children's community. Their telling of the story (the scene of pillaging, the assault on the castle, etc) independently introduced some neorealist elements which, at that time, were being propagated in Italy by De Sica, Rossellini, and other film artists. The rebukes of contemporary critics, who called attention to "formalism for its own sake" have been forgotten. The masterly art of cameraman Barnabás Hegyi gives vitality to the poetic images. His angle shots of the children, his composition of scenes in the castle interior, are a living document of the times, and underline the atmosphere and the characters of the protagonists. The success of the picture was also enhanced by the musical art of composer Dénes Buday who, in tense situations, inserted the theme of the Marseilaise into the movie's structure, as a motive of community unification, as an expression of friendship and the possibility of understanding.Valahol Europaban is the first significant postwar Hungarian film. It originated in a relaxed atmosphere, replete with joy and euphoria, and it includes these elements in order to demonstrate the strength of humanism, tolerance, and friendship. It represents a general condemnation of war anywhere in the world, in any form.
