「很久以前,有一個小女孩,女孩有個影子,女孩和影子,共用一個靈魂,女孩吃東西,食物溫暖又美味,影子肚子餓,只能吃兔子,生冷又血腥。聖誕節時,女孩收到精美玩具,柔軟又舒服,影子的玩具,卻尖銳又冰冷,她伸手想玩,馬上劃破手指。女孩遇到白馬王子,墜入愛河,而影子遇到了亞伯拉罕,她愛不愛他根本不重要,他只是女孩那王子的影子。後來,女孩生下第一個孩子,一個漂亮的小女娃,而影子...卻生下一個小怪物,安柏拉天生愛笑。女孩生下第二個孩子,這次是個小男生,醫生得剖開她的肚子取出寶寶,影子比照辦理,但她只能...自己來,她為他取名布魯托,他天生愛火。所以呢,影子恨透了女孩,恨了好久好久,直到有天,影子終於明白,上天是在考驗她。」
.
一,《#我們》開場,阿蒂在遊樂園裡獲得一件麥可傑克遜的《顫慄》T-Shirt。她趁父親不注意時,走入一間鏡屋,看見一名穿著打扮與外貌跟她一模一樣的女孩。驚慌失措的阿蒂逃出鏡屋,失語好一段時日,透過舞蹈,抒發內心的恐懼,重新找回聲音,回到生活的常軌。許多年後,阿蒂結婚,並與丈夫育有兩個孩子,但她內心隱約感到不安,總覺得年幼時看見的女孩會再次出現在她的生命之中。
.
Netflix 已經上線 Jordan Peele 導演的《我們》,看過電影的朋友,可以讀一下麥可傑克遜的《顫慄》歌詞,會發現這首歌根本是「#深度解析」阿蒂和女孩的心情和她們所做的任何行動!

「It's Close To Midnight
午夜時分
And Something Evil's Lurking In The Dark
#魔鬼在暗處隱藏
Under The Moonlight
月光之下
You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart
這幅景象幾乎能讓你心臟停止
.
You Try To Scream
想要尖叫
But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It
恐怖卻讓你聲帶失效
You Start To Freeze
渾身冰涼
As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes
#驚駭眼中閃光
You're Paralyzed
你完全癱瘓
.
You Hear The Door Slam
門猛地關上
And Realize There's Nowhere Left To Run
你意識到無處可逃
You Feel The Cold Hand
手腳冰涼
And Wonder If You'll Ever See The Sun
#不知能否得見明日朝陽
.
You Close Your Eyes
閉上眼睛
And Hope That This Is Just Imagination
希望一切只是幻想
But All The While
時時刻刻
You Hear The Creature Creepin' Up Behind
你都聽見鬼怪在偷偷來到身旁
You're Out Of Time
你來不及逃竄
.
They're Out To Get You,
#它們出來抓你
There's Demons Closing In On Every Side
惡靈四面逼近
They Will Possess You
它們將迷住你
Unless You Change The Number On Your Dial
除非你掉頭離去
Now Is The Time For You
現在正是時候
And I To Cuddle Close Together
讓我們緊擁一起
All Thru The Night
整個夜晚
I'll Save You From The Terror On The Screen,
我會把你從那些妖魔的手中救出
I'll Make You See
我要讓你看見
.
Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
因為這是顫慄之夜
And No One's Gonna Save You
沒人能救你於
From The Beast About Strike
猛獸之口
You Know It's Thriller, Thriller Night
你看,這就是顫慄之夜
You're Fighting For Your Life
#要活命就要拼搏
Inside A Killer, Thriller Tonight
在這個陰森的顫慄之夜
.
Cause This Is Thriller, Thriller Night
因為這是顫慄之夜
There Ain't No Second Chance
與百眼妖魔的戰鬥
Against The Thing With Forty Eyes
#不是你死就是我亡
You Know It's Thriller, Thriller Night
你看,這就是顫慄之夜
You're Fighting For Your Life
要活命,就要拼搏
Inside Of Killer, Thriller Tonight
在這個陰森的顫慄之夜」

二,《我們》也放了 Janelle Monáe 的「I like that」作為插曲,這首歌的 MV 可以看到 Janelle Monáe 分裂出多個自己,與電影的內容有著呼應。
.
三,「能在天空底下長大該有多麼幸福,可以感受陽光、清風、綠樹,你們卻覺得理所當然,我們也是活生生的人,有眼睛、牙齒、雙手、血肉,跟你們一模一樣。」
.
《逃出絕命鎮》談種族議題,《我們》講的是階級,地上與地下世界是階級,上流階層坐享一切,卻不懂得珍惜,底層群體的需求被忽視被剝削,他們本來習慣吞忍一切,直到「革命意識」的注入,給予他們希望,決定走上地面(抗爭),打破階級之間的界線。《我們》其實是融合了科幻與驚悚元素的《悲慘世界》。
.
四,《我們》也可視為人與自我的戰爭(我喜歡劇本的概念),為了獲得更好的人生(權勢、利益),我們都可能變得殘暴(無情),甚至可以謀殺一部份的自己(影子),來確保自己可以繼續維持階級上的優勢。
.
五,#Lupita_Nyongo 演得非常好,儘管阿蒂與女孩的外貌與舉止差異頗大,我們卻能在 Lupita Nyong'o 的表演細節中,看見兩個角色(靈魂)的微妙相似之處。奧斯卡獎沒有提名女主角,是我心目中的年度遺珠之一。
.
除了 Lupita Nyong'o 外,飾演兒女的兩位年輕演員(Shahadi Wright Joseph 和 Evan Alex )也演超好,兩種性格的反差都處理得很細膩。
.
六,女孩臨死前的口哨聲,超級淒涼,被奪走的人生,被奪去的幸福,只剩殘響。
.
七,無論是《逃出絕命鎮》或《我們》,我都很喜歡(而且都禁得起反覆重看),氣氛處理出色,故事概念也有很多想像空間,我會繼續期待 #Jordan_Peele 導演的日後發展!
.

「to one's horror」的推薦目錄:
to one's horror 在 pindaPanda Facebook 的精選貼文
I turned vegetarian a year and a half ago:) Again with this, I do not intend to impose my opinions on you. This is solely how I feel and believe. Thank you la Jangsem Monday for including me in the pledge-fie 🙏
A very Happy Jangsem Monday to all OUR JANGSEMIANS! 💚👍👌😊
On Our Jangsem Monday Pledge-fie platform today We have a very Special 139th JM Pledger all the way from Malaysia, also known for being One of the most Inspiring Young Bhutanese woman of our times making a name in online gaming. YES We have heard of this Special Being *Pinda Rika Dorji also popularly known as pindapanda in the gaming world. Yes She is a Bhutanese and Extra Ordinary!! Extra ordinary We say because She's not only a full time Gamer abroad making a living, loving what she does, apart from her talented, exuberant, charming, sweet, smart, kind, humble and funny personality(limited edition) but SHE is THE only Bhutanese Gamer abroad making a living doing what she loves thus being A Trail Blazing Star for all the Gamers and youngsters here in Bhutan, must we add.. YES she is Human and a young Warrior, a kind one at that too :) She who has over countless followers and fans rooting/Cheering for her on social media/reality and..let us not Stop here....SHE.. Who has also made a special Appearance on our very own BBS Tele and local news section as ''Pinda Rika Dorji, 22, the only gamer from Bhutan who is making a living through online games. Her passion for online gaming got Pinda a job as a Television anchor with e-sport channel in Malaysia '' :)
WELL What YOU DID NOT KNOW about This Special and talented Gamer Girl who is not just your Average Gamer girl, but SHE is also an Animal lover and a Vegetarian. A Compassionate, Beautiful and Inspiring Soul altogether <3 :*)
Born and raised here, Pinda is from *Changangkha, Thimphu Bhutan. She has a degree in Construction management and *Currently works in Malaysia as an eSports Tv Personality and Host. Individually she says she makes her own content such as vines and videos for digital platforms as well as host events.
She loves *pizza, gaming, art, music, dancing and jokes all in all.
We are SUPER EXCITED and GLAD to have pindaPanda board the Jangsem Express!! She was super Kind enough to spare us her time even during her busy schedule and to be here to share with us her beautiful thoughts on this cause Today, what a wonderful opportunity to know that this beautiful soul is Jangsemized to the max :) (Y) We are truly Awe-inspired, truly! <3 :)
When We asked her if she has heard of Jangsem Monday before:
*No, not until today.
When We asked her if she would like to take the JM pledge/promise:
*Definitely, I'm a vegetarian myself.
Her Thoughts about the Jangsem Monday cause:
*Its a great initiative ! It doesn't completely annihilate animal slaughter but its a step atleast, a great start indeed.
Her Thoughts about the importance of going meatless:
*I believe we don't have the right to own one's life. It's really simple actually, just try to put/imagine ourselves in those millions of helpless animal's shoes who suffer daily without ventilation, are mutilated, suffocated, made to reproduce countless times without their will or the power to stop it and ask ourselves, did they choose that life? No, "we" did.
Vegetarian or vegan:
*I am a vegetarian. I turned two years ago. An online video had caught my attention and it was 49 mins long. I watched it entirely and to my horror, it really broke my heart watching how all these animals were being treated. Mother cows having their calves snatched away from them. Tears were literally pouring out. Piglets squealing and beaten to death. I couldn't stand the thought of consuming meat again after that.
the Benefits of going meatless:
*I've never felt better ! I've learnt to cook vegetables so many ways that I sometimes have 5 meals a day. Potatoes ! God I love potatoes. I have them at least six times a week.
*Firstly I believe there are lower risks of getting diseases such as heart diseases, arthritis, diabetes, acne and so on. There are endless health benefits to be honest. Having a control on our cholesterol levels, maintaining our diet in a healthy manner, even with our weight control and there's just so much more...
I even read it helps with keeping our skin young. Don't know how far that's true but sounds delightful to me. Hell even Miley Cyrus is a vegetarian and I love her skin ! Although I must agree at a certain level, I used to suffer a lot from acne but now it has definitely toned down and I don't even use any special products to control it. (I follow a lot of vegetarian pages online and their articles are just wonderful)
Her Favorite veggies, veggie dish and fruits:
*Any vegetables with cheese is heaven for me. I just throw in some veggies in the pan, fry them and add some cheese later on and that's more than enough to make me gobble them with two bowls of rice.
I loveeeee grapes, papaya, pineapple, peach, guavas and mangoes.
Her Favorite animals: Domestic or wild.
*Dogs, cats, donkeys, owls, dolphins and chimpanzees.
Her beliefs or your motto in life:
*Hmm.. I believe in all the good things, of course there'll always be things that are bad as well, but that is the way of life. We couldn't survive with just good in the world. How we face it is the real challenge. And I believe in change, although I am, a little bit conservative but yes I do believe in change for the good.
My motto in life is to live each day to the fullest, well not everyday everyday, sometimes I tend to oversleep but you know what I mean:p
Some days can get really hard at times but not giving up and pushing myself to the limit have been the best decisions I've made up until now.
As for my work, my objective is to make people laugh in some sort of way, or smile at the very least through the content I make. And when it does, it makes me happy, its just that feeling I can't describe. It's overwhelming and pushes me to do more.
And my dream includes living in a home where I can raise a cow, two hens, one dog, a cat or two and two pigs :D Something I intend to do in the future.
Her message to everyone on going meatless:
*Well, I wouldn't praise you that's for sure. Just because we're vegetarian we shouldn't be proud about it cause' there really is nothing to be proud about. All these animals deserve to live as much as we do. We have no right whatsoever to have them on our plates despite what we pay. We are as much responsible for the slaughter of these helpless animals as the people who slaughter them.
We demand, thus they slaughter, the only difference is we don't want to get blood on our hands.
The only regret I have is not having to realize this sooner and turned meatless. Over the past two years I'd say I have avoided consuming atleast 300 hens, 15 cows, 4 pigs (rough calculation) given that I used to have two mcspicy chicken every time I visited McDonalds/KFC before this:p
Again I don't intend to impose my thoughts and beliefs on you. Whether you go meatless or not, it's solely up to you, it's YOUR CHOICE. You have to make that on your own rather than people telling you what to do. I hate that as well. But please, please don't say/write "you love animals" and then have another one on your plate.
Thank you:)
