[继续乐与路] 森林,加州,梦。 California Dreamin'

因为写王菲,有人提及了她曾主演的一部旧电影《重庆森林》。

最近翻到了这部电影,然后下载了。1994年,金城武梁朝伟都很年轻帅气,还有王菲(那时她还是王靖雯)和林青霞。故事发生在香港;不是重庆也不是加州。还记得初在电视上看这戏时,那几句很认真,要笑不笑的独白令我留下印象。后来看《东邪西毒》`再到张国荣自杀后看《阿飞正传》;王导的电影其实还蛮好咀嚼的。

《重》里面一直重复地播放这首音乐。那几乎每个跟王菲有关的场景都会出现的歌曲。1966年的歌曲,California Dreamin'。


All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I went for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

I stopped into a church (stopped into a church)
I passed along the way (passed along the way)
You know, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray)
Oh, the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)
Oh, California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown (the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey)
I went for a walk (I went for a walk)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day)
If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her)
I could leave today (I could leave today)

Oh, California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day

不知道因为这首歌令我喜欢这部戏,还是因为这部戏令我喜欢这首歌。遥远的加州,真实或虚幻都不重要。只记得在那狭小的房间里,我一直按下"PLAY"键,重复温习加州阳光的暖度。

  3. Here is another oldie based in California. Nice, I like it.

    Till now I am not quite sure how come California often is the place where people build their dreams in? Just because of Hollywood? Or Disneyland which is the happiest place on earth? Or simply because it is a dreamt place?

    But there was once a girl flew all the way to California alone to realize her dreams in winter...

  4. Beck Lim: 原来你是导演..失敬失敬..

    墨墨:你的确很厉害.多来踩场踢馆吧.

    Po: 我也不明白,可能那是六七十年代的美国梦?同时期也有首"Hotel California"经典.你的加州梦也在冬天?蛮配合歌词的嘛!
