in america

fox searchlight出的不少小品電影都很不錯。我迷上過[陽光小小姐]和[JUNO少女孕記]，太有生活感和非常近於人情，無大作頭，無閃耀明星，那些黑白老片常見的人像特大close up和粗糙的膠片味道也經常使用其中。今天有些燥，不宜工作，就從碟堆裡挑碟，挑了這張[in america](中文譯名好像叫[走進天堂])來看。講一個愛爾蘭家庭以新移民身份來到美國，為艱難生活而奮鬥。影片有幾種東西令我很著迷──


1.那幢道友公寓的邋遢環境。
2.大女兒那部不離手的紅色DV。
3.大女兒唱的那首「Desperado」。
4.[E.T.]和那個外表可怕但內心善良的黑人畫家。
5.一小點宗教的神秘色彩，尤其是結尾的部分。


一個社會，無論怎麼腐敗不堪，總會有一些充滿人性的角落和溫暖，我相信。





Desperado


Why don't you come to your senses


You've been out riding fences for so long now


Oh, you're a hard one
 

But I know that you've got your reasons


These things that are pleasing you


Can hurt you somehow


Don't you draw the Queen of diamonds boy


She'll beat you if she's able


The Queen of hearts is always your best bet


How it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table


But you only want the ones you can't get





Desperado


Oh, you ain't getting no younger


Your pain and your hunger


They're driving you home


Freedom, ah, freedom


That's just some people talking


Your prison is walking thru this world all alone





Don't your feet get cold in the winter time


The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine


It's hard to tell the night time from the day


You're losing all your highs and lows


Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away





Desperado


Why don't you come to your senses


Come down from your fences open the gate


It may be raining


But there's a rainbow above you


You better let somebody love you


You better let somebody love you


Before it's too late
