從Miami Vice 聯想到 Jerry_Bruckheimer

80年代Miami Vice這部影集到底有多紅,當年的錄影機時代,資訊量沒有現在多,如果說比現在的CSI還紅我覺得不過份


這部影集讓我聯想到Jerry BruckHeimer(CSI的製作人),是不是有受到影響我不知道,但是我知道這部片裡面的元素在Jerry BruckHeimer製作的賣座片中也一再的被運用,爆破場面,名車,警匪追逐,雖然我不是要介紹Jerry BruckHeimer不過用他的片串起來嚇嚇人也挺有趣,首先CSI系列不用講,電影部分更恐怖,捍衛戰士(Top Gun),絕地戰警(Bad Boys),絕地任務(The Rock),空中監獄(Con Air),世界末日(Armageddon),全民公敵(Enemy of the State),神鬼奇航三部曲,國家寶藏.....好吧!你覺得這怎麼可能對吧!這傢伙簡直是好萊塢國王嘛!
去看看這個連結吧http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000988/,

有個評語很有趣2007 - Ranked #14 on EW's The 50 Smartest People in Hollywood.娛樂週刊把他在好萊塢最聰明的50人中排名第14.有興趣的話可以把他製作的片全部租回家看一遍,應該要敗不少錢在百事達租片吧!

接下來回到Miami Vice這部影集膾炙人口的片頭,我國中時非常想知道這段音樂的作者,不過當時的資訊很少,Internet跟Google真的是我們的好朋友,原來作者是Jan Hammer下面這版的Miami Vice Theme有他的真面目,劇情很有趣,調查探員好像拿到線民給的密報,然後組長說了句很帥氣的"He is here",然後相片上的就是我們的配樂家Jan Hammer,毒梟式的出場,雖然是20年前的點子我還是覺得真是酷.

OK,這篇只是一時興起把我想到的東西串起來,I hope that you enjoy it as I do.

The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News

電影回到未來(Back to the Future)是許多6年級生難忘的青澀記憶,
雖然不知道是不是大家都很喜歡自己的少年時期
不過我倒是很懷念當時天真充滿遠大目標的自己
(其實也沒多偉大,就什麼都想學,這點至今沒變,只是比當時瞭解自己的能耐)

比鑽石更堅硬,比奶油更濃郁(小學生寫作練習的好題材)
這些直接的比喻(simile)
只為了告訴我們一件事--愛的力量有多神奇
讓老鷹變鴿子,壞人變好人
不需要有錢也不需要有名氣,
也不需要信用卡來搭上這愛的列車(80年代信用卡的地位跟現在不同)
最神奇的是你還會發現
其實地球是靠愛轉動的
(But you'll be glad, baby, when you've found
That's the power makes the world go round)


"The Power of Love"
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling that's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

Chorus 1 :
You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden and its cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life
Thats the power of love
Thats the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
Thats the power makes the world go round

Chorus 2 :
And it don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Its strong and its sudden it can be cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm

Chorus 3 :
It don't take money and it don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
You won't feel nothin till you feel
You feel the power, just the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
You feel the power of love
Feel the power of love

比摩卡更香醇,比伏特加更烈
比太陽更刺眼,比路燈更難爬
比麥當勞更易胖,比台鐵更會誤點
是誰跟我說沒有愛情地球依然轉動的啊!

Kiss from a Rose by Seal

一直非常喜愛Seal獨特充滿情感的聲音,
即使是不刻意強調的輕吟,
也瀰漫覆蓋著黑色薄紗的簡約華麗


不管是Batman或是Spiderman
如果只是飛簷走壁或是正邪不兩立
平板的人物加上感官刺激無法讓戲劇抓住我們的靈魂
掙扎,抉擇與兩難的問題
事實證明讓我們久久無法釋懷的最終是裡面的人性

Kiss from a Rose
Intro

Verse 1

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.

My eyes become larger and,
The light that you shine can be seen.

A light hits the gloom on the grey.
