我美麗的朋友,
看了部好看的好萊屋電影The secret
life of Walter Mitty, 台灣片名取為《白日夢冒險王》，出乎我意料之外的很好看!
雖然劇情很好猜，但中間的橋段與結局的畫面還是感動了我。尤其是Ben Stiller在冰島公路上滑著長板的那段，畫面與配樂真是美呆了~ 幾乎可以想像那冰冷而乾淨的空氣、那流暢的速度與風、還有那摩擦輪聲的過彎與觸地，啊! 真是讓人感到無比自由呀 : )
當然美麗的女主角Kristen Wiig也是亮點，尤其是她彈著空心吉他唱著David Bowie的Space Oddity, 是非常棒的轉折梗呢! 不知道她演技這麼好，之前只在周末夜現場看到她搞笑的演出，就常想這麼漂亮的女人只演搞笑劇也太埋沒了吧? 後來查了維基才知道她是編劇家呢!果然能演好喜劇的才是硬底子演員: ) 還沒看過她入圍奧斯卡的那部，聽說很好看?
“Beautiful Things Don't Ask For
Attention.”
Sean Penn在電影裡飾演的性格攝影大師話很少但很愛講佳句，也是蠻典型的角色，喜歡他在拍雪豹時講的那段話，非常有同感，與我拍人文茶會時的想法一致，尤其當有古琴演奏時。(放下相機，立地成… 當下。)
在此也順便摘一下雜誌的宗旨吧:
To see the world,
things dangerous to come to,
to see behind walls to draw closer,
to find each other and to feel.
That is the purpose of Life.
本劇改編自已故作家James
Thurber的短篇小說，順便補腦了一下: (1894—1961)，美國幽默作家、寓言作家、插畫家，被認為是繼馬克·吐溫之後美國最偉大的幽默大師。1926年開始為《紐約客》雜誌撰稿，1927年進入《紐約客》編輯部。瑟伯和E·B·懷特一起確立了《紐約客》詼諧、辛辣的文風，即所謂“《紐約客》風格”。瑟伯一生創作了5本童書，每一本都被視為經典之作，其中《公主的月亮》1944年獲凱迪克金獎。
果然有好的劇本、好的演員，就會有好看的戲。當然，此片讓我覺得很好看的原因更要歸功於好聽的配樂，感謝許多朋友的分享，正在找原聲的我，不費力氣的就直接收歌了: ) 光是Space Oddity
就有三個版本: David Bowie原版、與Kristen Wiig合唱版、還有一位太空人的自唱版，哈哈，都很好聽喔:）
不過今晚本電台要分享的是滑板那段的歌曲 The Wolves
& the Ravens, 很棒的旋律，與傷感的詞。
晚安了

The Wolves And The Ravens Lyrics
In the morning by the sea
As the fog clears from the sand
I have no money in my hand
I have no home, I have no land
But it doesn't trouble me
As I lay beside the fire
I am easy to inspire
There is little I require
I wasn't yours and you weren't mine
Though I've wished from time to time
We had found a common ground
Your voice was such a welcome sound
How the emptiness would fill
With the waves and with your song
People find where they belong
Or keep on
Through the never-ending maze
Where the way is seldom clear
There is no map or compass near
I drive a ship I cannot steer
Through the bleak and early morn
Where a stronger will is sworn
Where the moments move so slow
And seem to never let you go
When my hands are old and ache
And my memory flickers dim
And my bones don't hold my skin
There's no place I haven't been
I recall the days were few
That is all that I can do
Feel the carvings in the tree
That gives shade for you and me
