有声有色的好莱坞版灰姑娘--看电影“A Star is Born“

人可真容易对人产生偏见。我最早知道Lady Gaga, 是几年前看杂志报道她穿了牛肉做的裙子,够标新立异吸眼球的。大概我这个穷孩子出生的人对浪费牛肉有偏见, 而且实在难以理解其中的美感,所以对LadyGaga 很没好感,即使连她的歌都没听过。可见第一印象有多重要啊。
这次去看电影“A Star is Born”, 是冲着Bradly Cooper 去的。帅哥有貌有才,该是赏心悦目的。Bradly 确实没让我失望,那楚楚动人的蓝眼睛,生动诱人呀。不过更惊艳的是Lady Gaga的歌声。声音厚实有质感,同时又灵活得能回转自如,这就很难得了。一首一首的歌饱含感情,配上故事情节和精美画面,确实是一场视觉和听觉的盛宴。怪不得最近音乐剧偏多呢,即使剧情不咋的,音乐和画面结合,成功了三分之二。张艺谋拍的商业片,画面美丽,成功了三分之一。据说Lady Gaga故意本色演出,有时候没有化妆。我倒是没太注意。有她那样的歌声和唱歌时投入的风姿, 长得怎样 穿啥样都不太重要了。何况五官分明的西方人,年轻,不要不太胖,能丑到哪里去呢?
电影讲的是爱情故事,情节老套简单。一个童年缺爱但是有音乐天赋的男孩子(Cooper 演的)长成了摇滚歌星,偶然在酒吧听到有音乐梦想的年轻姑娘( Lady Gaga演的),伯乐识才又有荷尔蒙,所以他把自己的事业平台让一角给她发展,结果女生一鸣惊人,光芒如鸣剑出鞘,反而盖过了男士的光辉。灰姑娘突然变成了公主;可惜这个男士呢,又不是王子可以承受住。他是个没有安全感缺爱的小男生而已,自然托不住已经变成公主的灰姑娘,最后的结局自然是男的崩溃了。人物性格其实很单薄,是好莱坞现代版童话故事。人生的酸甜苦辣真真假假,哪有那么简单的?一部电影里,既然有声有色, 就不要多想,让眼睛和耳朵,好好享受吧。
下面是两人合作的第一首歌:“shallow”的歌词:
Tell me somethin', girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?
I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?
I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longing for change
And in the bad times I fear myself
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoah!
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now
