電影《Sweeney Todd》by Yeh

電影《Sweeney Todd》
*Spoiler*內有劇情*





  Tim Burton的電影總是帶一點灰暗詭譎的氣氛,不論是舞台佈景或是角色的塑造,這部片也處處散發著屬於Tim Burton的味道。這是Johnny Depp與Tim Burton第六次的合作,故事延續了Stephen Sondheim等人的原著。

  Benjamin Barker是受誣告的理髮師,他有漂亮的妻子Lucy和年幼的女兒Johanna。法官Turpin看上了Lucy,所以設計讓理髮師受流放的罪。十五年後回來的理髮師改名換姓叫Sweeny Todd,回到以前居住的地方。理髮師從肉餅店老闆娘Lovett的敘述中得知妻子受羞辱而服毒自殺,幼女則由陷害他的法官領養。理髮師決定復仇,並在復仇的過程中透過殺人來練習剃刀的利落,而屍體則用來為肉餅店添增生意。

  人生的弔詭就在於死沒有人能預測自己的未來,而完美的計畫更跟不上人生的無常變化。法官Turpin的貪婪慾望、理髮師Todd的復仇情緒、發瘋的Lucy、愛慕理髮師的Lovett、寄人籬下的Toby、籠中鳥的Johanna、一心要英雄救美的Anthony彼此牽制。在Sweeney Todd刀下的除了各色各樣的人,也有服毒自殺不成功而發瘋的Lucy,而目睹殺人的,卻是自己的女兒Johanna。復仇的最後,自己還是失去一切,甚至失去自己,那麼所為的一切意義又何在呢?

  對於Johanna受到養父囚禁與籠中鳥的比喻令我印象深刻。然而,身受囚禁的雖然是Johanna,其實受囚禁之苦的,卻幾乎是所有的人。法官Turpin受自己貪婪慾望的束縛,理髮師受到仇恨的囚禁,Lovett受單方面愛慕之苦,Lucy受精神折磨之困,而小助手Toby則因為受人恩澤而有所拘束。



  幾年沒看musical的我,仍舊覺得這是有趣的描述故事的方法。Tim Burton延續他作品中專屬的氣氛為此劇更添弔詭。



  本劇中描寫出人心之間的阿諛我詐,貪婪與仇恨的情緒。

  是人在複雜,還是人生在複雜呢?

080415 瘋狂三人 by Yeh

3 Crazy poeple /瘋狂三人



  雖然現在已經週二,我來說說有關上週五的事吧。
Although it’s already Tuesday, let me still talk about what happened last Friday.

  本來是有說要繼續玩象棋,但是後來因為Meyerhoff沒晚餐吃,在Fox前辦那什麼看起來不太好吃的活動,所以本來要在Meyerhoff邊吃邊下的Hannier和我就只好逃亡到別地方去。
Originally, we were going to play Chinese chess again, but Meyerhoff was close because of the event in front of Fox. Hannier and I was planning to play and eat in Meyerhoff was therefore forced to move somewhere else.

  最後是到本少爺的房間,本少爺破天荒下廚煮蛋包飯,好在沒有把Hannier毒死,所以不用擔心,下任社長還很活蹦亂跳。
At the end, we decided to go to my place, and I cooked. Don’t worry, I didn’t poison Hannier, our next president is still alive and healthy.

  然後就開始下棋。
Anyways, we started play chess.

  Hannier小姐很天才,從頭到尾都很high,不知道在high什麼,激動到不行。後來找了Antonio一起來,三個人就縮在我的書桌旁邊盯著小棋盤……
Ms. Hannier was genius. She was hyper the whole time and don’t know what makes her hyper. Anyways, Antonio came to join us later that day. Three of us were staring at the small chessboard next to my desk…

  然後發現每次我們抬頭看時間的時候,兩個小時已經飛逝,明明是六點已經變成八點,八點已經變成十點,後來瞬間又變成十一點多。
We realized every time we looked up to see the time, two hours had past. It was six and became eight; it was eight and became ten. And then suddenly it was eleven something.

  當Antonio與本少爺正在煩惱著下棋,Hannier小姐在旁邊忽然之間有言語錯亂症狀發作,英文、中文、日文、台語全部一口氣擠在一個句子裡面,Antonio和我只能對她乾瞪眼。
While Antonio and I were playing chess, Hannier suddenly had a problem with her verbal. She mixed up English, Chinese, Japanese, and Taiwanese in one sentence. Antonio and I were shocked, and could only stare at her.

  後來我們玩了大老二(亞洲撲克?黑桃二最大的那個遊戲),然後開始納悶著方塊和梅花的大小,然後不管是怎樣還是玩得很激動。
We also played Big Two (Chinese poker? The game that spades 2 is the bigest). There was confusion about diamond and club, but we enjoyed the game.

  其實我是想要說那天發生很多笑話,可是我笑瘋之後現在已經忘記了,只記得那天真是笑到快要神經錯亂,真可惜,要是當場錄音……
I actually wanted to tell the jokes happened that day, but I was laughing like crazy and forgot what exactly happened. Well, what if it was recorded…
