12月17日 三轮车夫/陈英雄

该片荣获1995年第52届威尼斯电影节最佳影片金狮奖。越南天才导演陈英雄继《青木瓜之味》后第二部作品，也是梁朝伟在《悲情城市》之后再次受到全世界瞩目的电影。本片对越南底层社会的触目惊心的描述，对黑帮贩毒、杀人放火、变态的性的刻划，再现出一个充溢着堕落与罪恶的越南。一个几乎还是孩子的三轮车夫、一个诗人气质的黑帮分子（梁朝伟饰）、一个为生活所迫不惜卖身的妓女都在与这个城市一起腐烂。两个多小时的片子里，那鲜红的血哗地一声不知从何处淌了出来，也就是在那一刹那，触到了生命的质感。影片以坚硬的力度、残酷的美感、血腥的诗意构筑了一个辛辣而令人晕眩的世界…… （简介转自豆瓣）

BEIJING WINDS
(Words and Music by Mark Levine)


CHORUS

In the winter cold winds blow in from grasslands to Beijing
Just like wild horses running ‘cross the plain
Those cold winds will never put out, the fire in my heart
And my love for you, my darling, will remain.

From the first time that we met, in the springtime in Beijing
It was clear to me it was a special thing.
I realized that because, just looking at you was
Enough to make the bells of my heart ring.

CHORUS

There’s a picture in my memory, of the day that I saw you
As my eyes met yours I knew that, my dream would soon come true
For this lovely China doll, I knew that I would fall
And since that time you have come to love me too.

CHORUS

Through the summer and the fall we were together
Now I’ve learned my love for you will last forever
Through the heat or in the rain, my heart won’t be restrained
And my longing for you grows in every weather.

CHORUS
