月球时代白日梦

《月球时代白日梦》

一场极致的意识流+隐喻+粉丝向的视听盛宴。太多现代艺术的元素，从巴斯克基顿到到表现主义大都会、诺斯费拉图、到2001太空漫游……这部关于Bowie的内心抽丝剥茧的纪录片有着很高的门槛，其实影片很通俗、按照顺序讲述了Bowie从出道的雌雄、异装、到Ziggy、瘦白公爵、商业（Lets dance）、再到拥抱爱情、黑星等等的一系列自我演化，只是每一段加以了相关精神与主题的艺术作品延伸。之所以要称之为演化，是因为Bowie就如片中那样，并不是一个恒定的个体，也谈不上进化和升级，他永远否认自己，否认传统，并且拥抱新的事物。更难得的是，在片中我们可以太明显地发现Bowie那令人动容的品质——他对于异见保有谦卑，他极致地尊重差异。在最后的Memory of a free festival响起的时候，所有的情绪达到了顶点。我和Bowie在对于艺术多样性和尊重的看法上有着共鸣，或者说我向这种尊重表达最真诚的敬意。

这是一部Bowie式的电影，也只有Bowie这样的变化、多义性、真诚、迷幻，适合《月球时代白日梦》的拍法。在这个意义上，纪录片的制作形式完全契合记录客体本人的视听体验，太真诚，太爽快！纪录片就该这样吧。

大概每一位艺术家都想要这么一部传记电影吧，尤其是我行我素的异质天才，他们才不管大众喜欢什么，而是把自己喜欢的带给大众，这样的艺术家属于这个时代又先于时代，属于大众更忠于自我，若是还能成为流行巨星，就是一段双向奔赴的佳话。这样的艺术家们就应该有一部这样的电影，no facts，no comments，只有他自己的讲述，娓娓道来，带你进入他的世界。

如此意识流，却比人物小传式的传统叙事让你更能靠近大卫鲍伊的精神世界。他是不被规训的，自然也不被定义，他表演着摇滚式的迷狂，又冷静审视人与宇宙。好的传记就该这样，导演隐于电影之后，此片spirit属于David·Bowie。

说句题外话是看鲍爷总会想到张国荣，他们具有太相似的精神气质。然这些年音乐会唱的他的歌，港府讲座聊着他的戏，纪录片谈着他的生平，太多他者视角的臆测，呈现出来的都不是那个原原本本的他。他应该是喜欢这样的传记形式的。只是不知道以后会怎样，我想如果有电影，应该也不会像《月球时代白日梦》这样，中国式的诠释太痴迷于起承转合，执着于盖棺定论，有果必寻因，只怕造不出像梦一样的轻盈质感。只求以后如真有Leslie的电影，少点臆测歪曲，也不负这样的美丽来过人间。

我愿意让Bowie像烟花一样在我脑中爆炸。每一秒在银幕上看见他都是快乐的。Sep 27, Cineplex.

“Why do the traditional thing of getting interview subjects who knew him or loved him to try and explain his importance to the 20th century? Instead, Morgen relies on image, music, and editing to produce something that doesn’t bother to explain Bowie as much as channel his energy into a new form. It’s an insanely ambitious movie. It shouldn’t work. It feels like a minor miracle that it does.

“somehow that act of getting lost—both in the music and the film about him—feels more rewarding than knowing where we’re going. Bowie speaks at one point about going into the deep water until just when your feet can’t touch the ground anymore. That’s where creativity can be found. That’s where this movie lives.” -Roger Ebert

“How can you make a documentary about a star who dominated the rock-and-roll world for more than two decades (a hundred years or so in regular time) and not touch on the filthy dressing rooms, the record-company hassles, the disgruntled bandmates, or the constant loneliness—that is, the reality that he had to contend with? Instead, Morgen gives us a kind of sanctified intellectual portrait: Bowie as Moses, laying down commandments about what art is and what it demands. Bowie’s pronouncements about Nietzsche and Buddhism, untempered by his sly charm, come off as not just pretentious but suffocating. Like Evans, Bowie was a consummate showman, but, except in some early archival footage, Morgen barely shows him at play.

“If Morgen had included other voices talking about Bowie—friends, colleagues—he could have introduced some critical inquiry to expand his portrait of the star. Getting off the subject from time to time, without losing sight of him, was what made Morgen’s 2015 film, “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck,” so interesting. You can’t entirely trust artists to tell their own stories; it’s always “Rashomon,” so why not reveal the lies and fabrications and misremembered moments, too?” - The New Yorker

-"Do you indulge in any form of worship?" -"Life. I love life very much indeed." -"Often you'll find that the person who craves a lot of affection actually isn't terribly good at giving it." -"Why are you creative?" -"I think it has something to do with wanting to find the place where I can kind of set sail and know that I won't really fall off the edge of the world when I get to the end of the sea." 坦诚且自由的冒险家，钟爱他的人生。

互文，重章叠唱，快速的剪辑，穿插的访谈，音像映画，一场幻觉盛宴 但不知道不太了解大尾巴鱼的朋友们看着感觉如何？不过就算了解他，如果你对自己，对生活没有追根究底的探索欲，大抵也只会觉得那些思考晦涩无趣 i can't tell you how much i want to go back to the 70s,strung out in ecstasy,drawn in illusions,我想在台下昏厥过去，太想了 他真的在动摇我的suicide plan， 在某种程度上，他唤起了我to live a life and to feel it的诚挚想法，他太鲜艳而纯正了，绝对的迷人 an old fashioned beatnik traveler，天哪，exactly what i desire to become,一个在我心中极致的artist，a perfect version of a part in me 他是我心中最最好的rnr词作者

很想获得他短暂的一吻

很想看看他那颗美丽的大脑里到底有什么

很想像对待神一样对待他

很想像亵渎神一样亵渎他

他是我活着的重要外源性原因之一

4 times the moon makes 1 full circle.

最初观感是no drugs attached的LSD / euphoria-like 视听体验，但越看到后面越感觉它像一场therapy👏 ： 从一个不想展示真实自我而扮演无数角色、情感疏离犹如处在真空地带的empty vessel（P.S. 我从没想到可以从这个角度去理解space oddity hhh），到more emotional and romantic than anyone would assume & wanting to bring warmth to ppl and show the real self的坦然自称为entertainer，再到遇到the right person后生活turned rosy pink... We audience grow with him along the way🎶.

看完惊讶于他对社会细致的观察，更佩服他一直pushing himself to the limits & moving on to new stages of art的充沛好奇心与创造力—— really the chameleon, generalist and an artist. 当然，还有他那份对生活与生命的热爱🗺↓ " Do you indulge in any form of belief?" " Life. I love life. Very much, indeed." \可能我附加了太多个人感觉与解读（"It's 'shoe' shoes, silly!"🙇），anyways..

Thank you for the journey, alien boi. Or just, David Bowie🎄.

P.S.大银幕上看David Bowie的脸好震撼.. 以及在情绪剪辑（？不知道叫什么不过管它呢）中看到Ginger 'n' Fred也很开心😋～
