英國一新聞調查社Bureau for Investigative Journalism估計,美國自2004年以來使用無人飛機在巴基斯坦殺害了至少3105人,其中多為平民,僅有少於2%的受害者為原先預設之高階目標。無人飛機的使用頻率和傷害規模尤其自2008年歐巴馬上任以來,顯著提升。無人飛機攻擊模糊化了戰爭與暗殺的區隔,規避了國家軍事機器所應受的合法監督,讓國家高層得以任意殺戮。所謂草菅人命,莫此為甚。
I became the color
i become the daughter and the son
When the feast is over
welcome to another one
Lay my body down down
down upon the water
wrapped up in the clothes of my mother and my father
o this is longing
i want to be complete
I was waiting round in a little jump seat
i had a hunger
a mouthful of interludes
Youll do anything just to get rescued
I had longing
isn't that the key
take take taste taste sweet
They said I'd gone south
I'd gone asunder
They don't know hunger or what I been under
They were all laughing
thought i was debris
I was just free
We were ready to behave
But there's no freedom
w/out no cage
Whatever you think you've become
Don't worry bout it dear it's where you come from.
O no no, save me from my misery
There's no such, thing as living comfortably
There's no such, thing as going home
I'm not formed of myself alone
All the other others they'll just fade to black
When you think you have me's when i don't look back
Keep on laughing, callin after me
Keep on laughin, I'm just free
We were ready to behave
But there's no freedom
w/out no cage
Whatever you think you've become
Don't worry bout it dear it's where you come from.
park chan-wook 的電影都很存在主義。""存在""(being)這種越是說不上來的東西,越難形諸影像聲音或文字。還記得蒙田那個故事嗎?一個成就非凡的貴族藝術家,在作品中歌頌那些跟他的生活相差十萬八千里的美好人事。他底下的男女佣人,對這位才華出眾的主人仰慕得不得了,但這卻反倒帶給主人一種很深的挫折與自貶,因為他的作品中所歌頌的對象恰恰是這些不識幾個大字的僕人們。
stoker的主題曲很好聽,覺得不好聽的可以來跟我退票。這曲子名字很長,叫 ""I am not formed by things that are of myself alone."" 光是這句話就夠可悲了。我們不可能選擇自己是什麼、將變成什麼,就像電影中說的,花朵亦無從選擇自己的顏色。我們能做的大概就只是認清自己是何種生物,然後選擇要不要盡量愉悅地順服上天的這項安排。
