黑暗中的舞者

我是很久前就看过电影介绍，今天才看电影的，所以在看的过程中一直知道故事的结局。可是，即便这样，纪录片一般展现出来的残酷结局还是让我克制不住地跟着剧中女主角一起发抖和流泪。我想不出看哪部电影曾让我看得伤心至此。没有惊喜，瞬间，脚下地板被打开，绞刑架上的Selma没能唱完她的最后一首歌，悬在半空，帷幕拉起。Selma热爱生活，热爱歌唱，热爱跳舞，但她最终还是没能选择自己的生命，而是必须要用它来换取儿子的光明，因为那是她活着的唯一目标。

“我已经什么都看到过了，足够了，再不需要更多了”……“可是，你还没有看过中国的长城，没有看过巴黎的铁塔，还没有见过未来自己的丈夫，自己的家，还没见到自己的孙子，看他抚弄你的头发”……“坦白的说，我不在乎，真的不在乎”。

Bjork饰演的Selma是那么善良、知足、独立、坚强，又是那么弱小、孤独、无助。没有人能真的和她分担，她不得不自己扛起一切，该担的责任、该承的诺言、和最终该偿的人命。

导演Lars von Trier倡导了Dogma95宣言，摒弃过于华丽精致的后期制作，采用手持摄像机、用最自然的方式拍摄，所以，很多段落看上去象是一部写实纪录片——抖动的画面、虚掉的焦点、略显暗淡的自然光场景、大段无声的背景、没有化妆的脸庞——这让屏幕前的我们会更加入戏。

不得不说，拍这种人文类的电影，好莱坞可是无论如何也无法与北欧导演相提并论的。前两年的那部爱尔兰小制作《Once》，也是类似的拍摄手法出来的一部非常好的电影，不需要复杂情节，简单的对白，简单的画面，但情绪满溢，击中要害，忘也忘不了。

I’ve Seen It All
I’ve seen it all
I have seen the trees
I have seen the willow leaves

I’ve seen a man killed
By his best friend,
And lives that were over
Before they were spent.

I’ve seen what I was
And I know what I’ll be
I’ve seen it all
There is no more to see

You haven’t seen elephants
Kings or Peru

I’m happy to say
I had better to do

What about China?
Have you seen the Great Wall?

All walls are great
If the roof doesn’t fall

And the man you will marry
The home you will share

To be honest
I really don’t care

You’ve never been
To Niagara Falls

I have seen water
It’s water, that’s all

The Eiffel Tower
The Empire State

My pulse was as high
On my very first date

And your grandson’s hand
As he plays with your hair

To be honest
I really don’t care

I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen the dark
I’ve seen the brightness
In one little spark
I’ve seen what I chose
And I’ve seen what I need
And that is enough
To want more would be greed
I’ve seen what I was
And I know what I’ll be
I’ve seen it all
There is no more to see

You’ve seen it all
And all you have seen
You can always review on
Your own little screen
The light and the dark
The big and the small
Just keep in mind
You need no more at all

You’ve seen what you were
And know what you’ll be
You’ve seen it all
There is no more to see

New World
Train-whistles, sweet clementine
Blueberries dancers in line
Cobwebs, a bakery sign

Ooooh – a sweet clementine
Ooooh dancers in line
Ooooh

If living is seeing
I’m holding my breath
In wonder, I wonder
What happen’s next?
A new world
A new day to see
See, see

I’m softly walking on air
Halfway to heaven frontier
Sunlight unfolds in my hair
Ooooh I’m walking on air
Ooooh to heaven frontier
Ooooh

If living is seeing
I’m holding my breath
In wonder, I wonder
What happens next?
A new world
A new day to see
See, see
To see…

我想知道电影之后的Bjork是什么样。
