玩一玩时间,玩一玩角色
Plays with time, plays with character,
玩一玩你的观念
plays with your perceptions,
而且他没有试图再做一个《低俗小说》
and he doesn’t try and redo Pulp Fiction.
我知道在他的生活中 有一种强烈的黑人影响存在
I know he has this strong Blaxploitation influence in his life.
老天在上
For God’s sake.
大家说他制♥作♥复仇电影
People say he makes revenge movies.
你知道,那些片子差不多算是复仇电影
You know, those were sort of revenge movies,
全是有关干掉一个人,或反过来干掉一个人
all about gettin’ the man or gettin’ back at the man
或反杀某个曾经对你做过坏事的人
or gettin’ back at the person who did somethin’ bad to you.
这些是让他的电影好玩的因素之一
It’s one of those things that makes his movies fun.
而且这些东西影响了他年轻时的观影经验
And those are the things that influenced his young cinema experiences,
我也是
like mine.
他打碎一切
He broke everything down.
他解释,比如说:“我小时候
He explained, like, “When I was a kid,
“我妈妈跟黑人约会”
my mom dated black guys.
“想跟我妈妈好的黑人…
Black guys would try to get in good with my mom,
“会带我去…看黑人电影
would take me to, uh, Blaxploitation films
“去看,作为一个孩子
to watch as a kid.
“所以那就是我的成长经历
So that’s what I grew up on.
“所以我写的是我看到的,那东西在我DNA裡
So I’m writing what I saw, what’s inside my DNA,
“然后这就是为什么我的角色总是很强悍”
and then that’s why my characters are always very strong.”
你帮了她,是不是?
You helped her, didn’t you?
当你像是被教导而自然而然地去欣赏时
When you’re sort of bred into naturally appreciating,
它并不是说有人教你…
it’s not like someone’s taught you,
“你应该尊重女人”,或者,“黑人是平等的”
you should respect women, or black people are equal.
好像没人教过你这一课
Like someone’s not teaching you that lesson.
你就是知道事实如此
You just know it to be true.
他就是这样看待世界的
This is how he views the world,
然后他在他的电影中按照他自己所见来描绘世界
and he paints the world the way he sees it in his movies.
所以力量在于他的真实
And so the power is this is his truth.
《杰姬·布朗》在许多方面是…
Jackie Brown is in many ways
对当时黑人电影类型的一首颂歌♥
an ode to the sort of Blaxploitation films of the period.
你会选谁来演出呢?
And who are you gonna cast?
帕姆·格裡尔
Pam Grier.
我听说过《狐媚布朗》
I’d heard about Foxy Brown
还有《科菲》以及所有的帕姆·格裡尔电影
and Coffy and all the Pam Grier movie.
你知道,当然了
You know, of course,
帕姆·格裡尔有着辉煌的职业生涯
Pam Grier’s had a glorious career
在昆汀·塔伦蒂诺之前就出头了
even up before Quentin Tarantino.
他就是,照我看来,把她塑造得要酷得多
He just, like, has made her that- that much cooler in my opinion.
帕姆·格裡尔可以很凶
Pam Grier can kick ass,
你知道我的意思吧?
you know what I mean?
它不全是《狐媚布朗》那样,也不全是…
It’s not all Foxy Brown and it ain’t all,
《直达康普顿 》那样
you know, Straight Outta Compton.
《杰姬·布朗》对我来说,那种表演如此惊异而又美丽
Jackie Brown, to me, that performance is so amazing and beautiful.
而又仍旧如此强悍
But still like so strong
如此有瑕疵 而且绝望
and so flawed and desperate,
然而又非常坚强如铁
and yet very sort of steely.
我是说 他写的女人强而有力
I mean he writes women like nobody’s business.
在过去45年到50年间
In the last forty-five to fifty years,
女人一直没有被给予公平待遇,从…
women have not been given a fair shake in terms of,
呃,领衔主演电影
uh, leading roles in, uh, movies
从中我们能看出是什么构成了女人的标签
where we can see what makes the woman tick.
所以你来这裡杀我
That’s why you came here to kill me.
我不是来这裡杀你的
I ain’t come over here to kill you.
不不,没关系,没事的
Oh, no, that’s fine. It’s okay.
我现在原谅你
Now I forgive you.
那就是昆汀的对白裡的东西
That’s the thing with Quentin’s dialogue.
像是两个男人在说话
A couple of men that would be like,
我是说,女人并不真的像那样说话
I mean, women don’t really talk like that.
而我就会…
And I was like.
“哦,有意思”,因为我们真会这样
Aw, that’s cute, ’cause we really do.
如果我不得不再做一年多
Now if I have to do more than a year,
你要再付十万美元
you’ll pay another one hundred thousand dollars.
女人会来找我们,然后这样…
Women would come up to us and be like,
“天哪,怎么会…他是不是内心裡是一个女人?”
“Oh, my God. How- Is he a woman on the inside?”
我就会说,对,他有些像是
I’m like yeah, he’s kind of,
他的内心裡有一点女人
he’s a bit of woman on the inside.
他的内心裡有一点黑人
He’s a little bit black on the inside.
他的内心裡就是有一大堆东西
He’s just got a whole bunch of stuff going on in him.
如果你觉得 你懂得更多东西…
If you think that you know more
关于某部电影,或某个演员
about a movie or an actor or-
或任何与电影史有关的东西
or anything to do with cinema history,
他会坐在那裡,微笑着听你说
he will just sit there and smile and listen to you,
然后他会用好多他懂的东西掩埋你
and then he will bury you with how much stuff he knows.
这是精确的事实 昆汀没有进过电影学校
Exactly the fact that Quentin didn’t go to film school.
我猜他的电影学校就是影像档桉
I guess his film school was video archives
还有无尽的电影 让他可以借阅…
and the endless movies that he could learn and read and,
…观看,欣赏,带入其他人
uh, watch and, uh, and enjoy and turn other people onto.
他绝尘而去
Get himself gone.
他享受其中的那些电影 变化极大
The films that he gets off on vary vastly.
人人都追随科瓦尔斯基
Everybody’s after Kowalski
他对《粉身碎骨》以及那种类型的热爱
He’s passionate about Vanishing Point and that genre.
然后是《萌莎》
And then Moesha.
他就是爱那部电视剧《萌莎》
He just loves the TV show Moesha.
我再也猜想不到
I would have never guessed that.
我觉得他在所有事情上都像那样
And I- I think he’s like that about all kinds of things.
我觉得他在吃东西上像那样
I think he’s like that with food,
就好像他喜爱不可思议的高品质法国菜
like he loves amazingly high quality French dishes
同时他…他会痴迷Pink热狗
and he- he will smash a Pink’s hotdog,
你知道,我说实话,我觉得他对女人也有些像是那样
you know, like I honestly, I think he’s kind of like that with women.
让我心碎让我悲
..break my heart and make me sad.
告诉我我做错什么了
Tell me what did I do wrong.
他有些像是:如果他爱你…
He’s sort of like, if he’s in love with you
而你是一个又大又胖的妖娆黑人女郎
and you’re a big, black, curvy, gorgeous lady,
他就全心喜欢大胖黑
he’s all about big, black curves.
我的宝贝爱…
My baby love…
而如果你是个苗条精瘦的小白人模特型
And if you’re a waify, skinny little white model type
而他又爱你的话
and he’s in love with you,
他就会认为那就是地球上最火♥辣♥的
he just thinks that’s the hottest thing on the planet.
他就像是一个鉴赏者
He’s just like an appreciator.
他了解每一个人
He knows everybody.
当他跟一个我那时代的演员见面时
And when he meets an actor from my era,
那是他长大的时代
the era when he was growin’ up,
他惊讶到他们,也惊讶到了我
he amazes them and amazed me
他提醒我这个那个东西、片段和场景,他都记得
by reminding me of this and that and things and moments and scenes that he remembers.
他还建立了一种方法 把他脑海裡的东西分享给大家
He also built a way of sharing his vision with people.
不是故事板
It wasn’t storyboards.
是参照物
It was references.
所以他会说…
And so he’d say,
“那个仓库看起来像这样”
“The warehouse looks like this.”
或者,“看看这部电影,作为参考
Or, “Look at this film for a reference for
“我想试试这样做”
what I’m kind of trying to do here.”
当你跟他做排练时
When you’re in rehearsal with him,…
你们会讨论那些参考,特定的电影
…you’re discussing those references, specifically
而且他还给你东西看
and he gives you stuff to watch.
那可不是你能跟他掉以轻心的东西
It’s not something you come to lightly with him.
那不是剽窃,那种话是扯澹
It’s not a rip-off, that’s just crap.
它甚至也不是致敬
And it’s not even an homage.
那是他利用电影工具…
It’s that he’s using the tools of cinema
来制♥作♥更轰动更了不起的电影
to make more resonant and greater cinema.
昆汀利用电影词汇
Quentin uses filmic vocabulary.
如果你看看伟大的艺术
If you look at great art,
音乐家会这么做,作曲家会这么做
that’s what musicians do, composers do,
画家会这么做,凋刻家会这么做
painters do, sculptors do.
因为他总是,你知道…
‘Cause he always, you know,
提升每一样东西,给每一样东西充电
elevates everything and charges everything.
这个侦探是我最初出演的那一派
The detective was the genre that I started with.
旧车,旧衣服,老笑话,随便的女人
Old cars, old clothes, old jokes, fast women,
他们都对我撒谎
they all lied to me.
