    它叫:Buena Vista Social Club /乐满哈瓦那

    以下有关键情节透露。

    虽然它是部记录片。

    120分钟的片子,我竟没断过对导演意图的揣测,当在古巴的小club音乐响起的那一刹那,我立刻将其定性为一个讲述:被隔离和孤立的群体演奏和演唱着带有穿透一切人类精神和艺术感知力的音乐和其背后的故事。

    这个念头持续了20分钟,音乐与人物被表现得越来越纯粹,纯粹在歌者的皱纹,眼泪里,纯粹在九旬的钢琴家,跳跃的,嶙峋的手指里。

    直到中间出现神翕,歌者为神供奉着鲜花、钱、香水和Meringue ──“这是他获得东西的方式,我们感谢他使我们有着如今的生活”,毫无任何讽刺的意味,他补充着,“如果我们过于在乎财富,那么古巴早就已经消失了”。

    也许,文德斯和一般导演的不同,正在于他并未也并不试图去怜悯地像保护濒临灭绝植物一样采集下一个即将消逝的标本,只为还原实实在在,高傲的,自尊的,独一无二的艺术──“我们虽小,但我们强大”。

    之后乐队到了纽约(不知为何,纽约的豪华剧场却立刻因为多了空当的回声,和表演者装扮过分的exotic失去了先时的吸引力,或者仅仅因为他们离开了古巴的土壤及他们的水源??)。先前满足于神赐生活的歌者走在纽约的大街上,摊开双手,喊着,这才是生活,这才是生活──大概是真情流露。镜头却不断用仰角拍摄着skyscrapers ,古巴人遥遥眺望着自由女神像,无可置疑是导演的刻意为之。剧场演出,美国人的回响不可谓不热烈,我盯着淹没于演奏群里的Ry Cooder,这个发现了深藏在孤岛上一群音乐天才的天才乐者,究竟将他们带入了幸运还是不幸?

    作为纪录片,没有少了Cigar工厂,巷间,街景──与外界惯常的认知相差无几的真实影像。

    “我们相信梦想”,被刷在墙上作为大字标语,是影片最后可以辨认的语言符号──有些模棱两可冷眼旁观的西方人的冷漠态度。

    我并不埋怨导演骨子里的优越感将影片引向了部分它所呈现的样子,毕竟,它的表达仍旧是多层次,多滋味的,而技法让每个层次和每种滋味都足够厚实而韵味十足。或者,这已然是纪录片的某种界限,你可以展现多层面的自我,却永远无法揭示被摄者复杂的真实。

    p.s. Ry Cooder长得真像刘德凯,尤其是他戴眼镜的时候。

    p.s.2 片子里的德文部分没有字幕,没看懂,不知道导演的意图是不是在那部分表达清楚了呢?
