… I wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past. But there wasn’t. There was nothing we could do. So I just stayed silent and trying to telepathically communicate how sorry I was about what had happened. And I thought of all the grief and sadness and f***ed up suffering in the world, and it made me want to escape. I wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically… disappear.

Gregg Araki去年出版了新电影,mysterious skin。真有趣,他从良了,絮絮叨叨讲着两个问题男孩成长的故事。不变的是——他在访谈中说——他的每个电影中都有slowdive和cocteau twins的歌。他继续说,甚至有些剧本的动机都是来自slowdive的某一首歌。
为了一首歌而拍一部电影,看来我肯定不是 slowdive的头号歌迷了。高三看得我神魂颠倒的the doom generation,结尾叹为观止地摆了一首blue skied n’ clear,我当场就瘫在那里了,我靠,这是什么导演…他的电影里我总能找到自己喜欢的东西,比如slowdive,比如主人公房间里贴着Jean- Luc Godard的海报,主人公在电影课上写关于Derek Jarman的论文,郁闷地说他想念this mortal coil的唱片,诸如此类。当然这种手段不甚高明,可他好歹为了这些趣味而拍摄了自己的电影。与其说他是个独立电影人,不如说他用影像祭奠了自己(想象中)的青春。
汗,这就是cult film的典型吧。我不知不觉成了这个cult中的一份子,可导演们生产了电影,我仍然为自己的朝九晚五作准备。一阵嫉妒,一阵自卑。
