纪念MJ逝世2周年,转篇旧文

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
——You are not alone

看完MJ的GHOST的MV感觉心里酸酸的。
他试图宽恕敌人,但他的敌人却一刻都不肯放过他。
早些的时候,鄢孩子,唱Don't stop till you get enough,没有情节动作也很简单,但是笑容多好看啊,很开心很享受的笑容。
GHOST里一人分饰两角,他自己(GHOST)和他的敌人——一个冥顽不灵、冷酷自私的中年白人男性,无论GHOST如何谦恭退让劝说,白人老先生一概不为所动,非我族类其心必异,GHOST似乎破坏了白人们的生活,所以他坚持要GHOST滚蛋。GHOST被惹怒了,它找来家族的亡灵展开盛大的音乐,拎着白人先生的可耻罪行一顿指责质问:究竟是谁破坏了谁的生活?
白人先生一听,GHOST把他祖父辈的脚底板都挖出来啦,白人那点见不得人的勾当,怎么能让你个有色人种来揭发,于是心惊肉跳,恼羞成怒,更坚持要GHOST马上滚蛋。

全片长30多分钟,差不多等于一集动画,纯对白的剧情部分占一半,另一半是歌舞,但歌舞不是像印度歌舞片那样突然插进来开唱,男女一唱一合的跟对白功能差不多,等于歌剧里的咏叹调。GHOST MV的歌舞部分是作为剧情的一个环节、一个中心意旨来设置的,是对盗墓者强烈的质问与讥讽,并直指白人对障テ人的仇恨是出于“嫉妒”,而MJ之所以提起这个,几乎是在白人的迫害下为了整个鄢人族群的自卫。
特效和化妆部分在当时来说大概是全球领先技术?没查资料不确定,在今天专业人士看来不知算不算粗糙,但要承认,当MJ带着众鬼魂上天入地地大跳特跳后,它把全身皮一剥变成一副骷髅骨架子开始跳舞以及跳到神坛上振臂大吼那段真的是太赞了。这无关技术,而是IDEA的闪光。
孩子们几乎是天生地本能地喜爱MJ扮演的GHOST,他英俊高贵,谦恭有礼,还有点孩子气的顽皮,他宽容,出人意外,总有惊喜,令人激动;妈妈们也渐渐被GHOST的舞蹈与音乐打动,正应了那句话:妇女与儿童比较富有同情心,比较感性,也比较容易宽容和理解对方。
啊,我们可敬的白人先生依然顽固不化没羞没臊如同绿坝她爸,他坚持要GHOST滚蛋,他纠缠不清,步步紧逼,盛气凌人,不知羞耻。
开始GHOST一次又一次的让步,劝说,逗趣,解嘲,试图让白人先生明白它是多么无害而充满善意,它可以不提那些他曾伤害过它的历史,它甚至还能给他们提供点乐子呢(?没听太懂这段)。但它终于被白人先生的态度激怒,它教训和吓唬了下这个愚蠢傲慢的绿坝他爸,揭了他的老底,甚至钻入他的身体强迫他和他所厌恶的鬼魂们一起跳舞。
“现在,你依然坚持要我离开吗?”最后它问,希望他有一丝愧疚心。
“是的。”白人先生冷酷地说,脸都没红。
“好吧,我会离开。”它毫不犹豫地将自己砸在地上,充满痛苦,粉身碎骨,它抬起残缺的头颅,怀着对人性的最后一丝希望看着这个人类,看着他的脸,想要从中寻找哪怕一丁点的羞愧,那是他逃过惩罚的最后机会。但白人先生依然无动于衷,没有羞愧,没有怜悯,没有悔恨,没有自责。
GHOST绝望地低下头去,就这样一点一点被风吹得一粒尘埃都没剩下。
MV的结尾自然是HAPPYEND的,GHOST把白人先生償竢o了幽灵城堡,其他人承认它的音乐和舞蹈带给他们有趣的一夜。
对比现实,令人心酸。MJ在现实中没有报复任何人,只是把自己砸得粉碎,甚至连抬头寻找最后的希望都不肯,生怕他那破碎的脸吓到与白人先生站在一起的、喜爱过他的人类。
现在他碎成了一堆砂,却依然不得安生。媒体哪肯放过他,世人的目光也是如狼似虎,大家围上来,分食THE KING OF POP仓促的死亡。
好在他已经感觉不到了。


火星地看了,火星地感动了。下的视频没字幕,一大半都是对白,只能听一半猜一半,可能有听错理解错的地方。
另外也推荐一下《BLACK AND WHITE》,我特别喜欢那个鄢小孩和白小孩坐在地球上一起玩的镜头,背后是正在升起的太阳,还有一个地方是副歌部分,歌者的动作不变,头像却不断地变幻成不同种族肤色的人,每个人都在唱着同一首歌,每个人都有真实的笑容。
当然,这个所谓的推荐是给和我一样没看过MJ的MV没迷过他的歌的冥王星人的。其实平心说我看了十几个MV后也没觉得有粉丝们说得那么出神入化惊天地泣鬼神,但确实有值得回味的东西。而且,想想当年MJ横空出世时世界是什么样子,流行音乐是什么样子,电视节目是什么样子,大概就可以推想出与他一起成长的人,此时是什么心情了吧。

TOO BAD

you are disgustin' me
you're aiming just for me
you are disgustin' me
just want your cut from me
but too bad, too bad
look who just walked in the place
dead and stuffy in the face
look who's standing if you please
though you tried to bring me to my knees

too bad too bad about it
why don't you scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it
why don't you just scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it
why don't you scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it
why don't you just scream and shout it

hell all up in hollywood
sayin' that you got it good
creepin' from a dusty hole
tales of what somebody told
what do you want from me?
what do you want from me?
tired of you haunting me, yeah yeah
you're aiming just for me
you are disgustin' me
you got blood lust for me
but too bad, too bad
look who got slapped in the face
it's dead and stuffy in the place
right back where i wanna be
i'm standin' though you're kickin' me

too bad too bad about it
why do'nt you scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it
why don't you just scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it
why don't you scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it
why don't you just scream and shout it

life's about a dream
i'm really undefeated when mj is on my team, theme
reality brings forth realizm
it's the man of steel organizm

nine five shaq represent with the thrilla
grab my crotch, twist my knee, then i'm through

why don't you scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it

why don't you just scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it
why don't you scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it
why don't you just scream and shout it
too bad too bad about it

You are not alone

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
Than they were say goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone

All alone
Why, oh

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
So forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Then something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're alway in my heart
And you are not alone

Oh...
Whisper three words and I'll come running
fly...
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
All we sing in my heart
you are not alone(you are not alone)
for I am here with you(I am here with you)
Though you're far away(though you''re far away)
I am here to stay
You are not alone (you're always in my heart)
I am here with you
Heart...(though we're far apart)
Heart...(always say my heart)
For you are not alone not alone oh.....
You are not alone
