剧情介绍
The movie centers around Brindsley Forde's character blue. He fronts a reggae sound system based in west London. The movie captures the trials and tribulations of young black youths in troubled London in the early eighties.
Babylon follows the story of David, a working class musician and black man in South East London. By day he works as a mechanic, at night David is a Mic controller at a local dance hall. The film centers around the racial divide of London in the 80's, the lack of opportunities available to black people and poverty. David loses his job, gets beaten up and charged by the police, forcing him to go on the run. Then breaking up with his girlfriend, all of his frustrations culminate in the stabbing of a racist neighbour.
底层边缘人叙事
cant tek no more of dat
小帽和婚礼上的羊肉盖饭。
大体上有这么一段气象。
音乐太棒!而且后半部随着主角blue的伦敦night cruising,逐渐新现实主义起来,在brinsley forde一曲cant tak no more里,警察破门,黑屏,非常有力!四十年前牙买加裔被骂“滚回你自己国家”,四十年后racism似乎没有太多变化,比如上个月月初的新闻,黑人女性被问:where u r REALLY from?(里面英语太多accent和creolization,日语字幕翻译出脏话感了吗?不太确定
雷鬼是一种与字面上让人想象与实际听起来不符的音乐(真的很好听)但是影片我有一半没听懂……后面一查真的说的是英语。。对于80年代美非种族/文化的有所涉及,只是看到后半段有点失去focus了(可能是连看两部的原因吧!)
配乐和画面非常惊艳。音乐与人物心境高度一致,对气氛的烘托也绝对到位。镜头也高级,每个构图都很讲究,运动镜头非为炫技,而且跟情节紧密贴合。种族矛盾充斥着他们的青春,长在人们心里的标签是最难斯除的。于白人来说,黑鬼是不学无术野蛮不讲理的,于黑人来说,白人是傲慢自大豪横不讲理的。且一旦有冲突就会上升到种族矛盾。 想想连省市间都会相互攻击,人类是不是天生就爱割席站队。
Keep on dubbing!
反应80年代英国社会历史性事件。雷鬼音乐真是迷人~没字幕理解起来有难度。Cultural discount 在文化传播上大打折扣。
字幕的重要性!!
虽然没怎么看懂但是音乐衔接极好,影院音响设备也很好都能感受到地板震动…
他们说的可能不是英语吧
疲惫
轰然。得以窥见一瞬全然陌生的世界,大笑和流泪都来得自然,张牙舞爪之间细腻真心地裸露赤忱耳蜗,配乐音效极其惊艳,给电影增彩诗一样的亢奋和黯然。(起初开了英文字幕也满头问号,然后渐渐适应“得意忘形”(?
感谢导演,带来了这一部杰作。
