Bob Marley in I am Legend

在"我是傳奇"裡,威爾史密斯以Bob Marley為女兒取名,並引用Bob Marley的音樂和理念,點燃黑暗;全片出現三次Bob Marley的音樂:在他幫狗狗洗澡時用了Three Little Birds;當安娜說沒聽過Bob Marley時,威爾史密斯播出來的那首是Stir It Up(經典經典!)最後片尾用的是Bob Marley的Redemption Song。

我是傳奇裡,威爾史密斯跟安娜談到Bob Marley的片段
She's beautiful.What's her name?
Marley.Her name was Marley.
It's a beautiful name.
Yeah. We named her after Bob Marley.
Who?
Uh, the singer.
Damian?
Uh, his father. His father.
Nope.
[SINGING] I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot the deputy
Oh, that is unacceptable.
What?
Best album ever made. You don't recognize that?
He had this idea, it was kind of a virologist's idea.
He believed that you could cure racism and hate. Literally cure it...
...by injecting music and love into people's lives.
One day, he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally.
Gunmen came to his house and shot him down.
Two days later... he walked out on that stage and sang.
Somebody asked him why.
He said, "The people... who are trying to make this world worse are not taking a day off.
How can I? Light up the darkness."

非主流電影

最近看了一些非主流電影,如果想換換口味,或許這些直得選擇。

Catch a fire 恐怖攻擊
在HBO上看到的,在80年代南非實行種族隔離的真實故事改編,會想看這部片的兩個原因:一是故事背景在南非,我很好奇的地方;二是Tim Robbins 提姆羅賓斯,自從看過"刺激1995"(The Shawshank Redemption),他就是我心中Hollywood最聰明的演員。PS.刺激1995真的是大經典,沒看過的拜託一定要看,越獄界的始祖。

另外不得不提的是,在片中有兩段都有用到Bob Marley的音樂,很巧妙的運用,Bob Marley也是為自由種族而唱的傳奇歌手,他也有張專輯同名叫做Catch a Fire,這是導演的巧思嗎?



Once 曾經。愛是唯一
要去歐洲的飛機上看的,故事背景在愛爾蘭,淡淡的音樂愛情故事,沒有很強烈的劇情鋪陳,裡面的音樂很棒,伴隨一點淡淡的哀傷。

Volver 完美女人
故事內容很性格,還有西班牙式的幽默,更可以看到西班牙的風光和一小段佛朗明哥舞。

Odette Toulemonde 巴黎洋相
也是在飛機上看的,在法國一個小鄉鎮的小巧開朗的中年寡婦,在化妝品專櫃上班,有個古怪的女兒和貼心的同性戀兒子,迷戀一位著名小說家的作品.....女主角可愛樸實真誠的個性,讓人會心一笑......

Orchestra Seats 巴黎不打烊
簡單的法國小品,用女主角簡單坦率的個性,串起一群人為在社會生存而枷鎖纏身,最後大家找到心底最真實的自己。

Reign Over Me 麻吉向前走
亞當山德勒一部不怎嚜搞笑的電影,不過我還蠻想要一台亞當山德勒在片中騎的那種車。
