Somewhere beyond the sea
　　　 Somewhere waitin’ for me
      My lover stands on golden sands
      And watches the ships that go sailin’.
 
      Somewhere beyond the sea
      She's there watchin’ for me
      If I could fly like birds on high
      Then straight to her arms I’d go sailin’.
     
      It's far beyond the stars
      It's near beyond the moon
      I know beyond a doubt
      My heart will lead me there soon.
 
      We'll meet beyond the shore
      We'll kiss just as before
      Happy we'll be beyond the sea
      And never again I'll go sailin'.
 
      I know beyond a doubt
      My heart will lead me there soon
      We'll meet … I know we'll meet … beyond the shore
      We'll kiss just as before.
 
      Happy we'll be beyond the sea
      And never again I'll go sailin'.
 
      No more sailin' …
      So long sailin' …
      Bye, bye sailin'...
      Move on out, captain …
      So long, ensign …
 


Finding Nimo（海底总动员）是我家闺女们常看的片子，结尾的那首Somewhere beyond the sea她们也能哼哼几句。前年有部也是表现歌星生活的传记片，名字就叫　Beyond the Sea，编剧导演和主演是奥斯卡得主Kevin Spacey 。影片的主人公Bobby Darin出身贫寒，小时候即患有心脏病，在母亲的鼓励下开始走上歌舞之路。其实他一直认作母亲的女人是他的外祖母，他是个私生子，其亲生母亲一直被他当做姐姐。婚姻生活也比较离奇，他的妻子Sandra Dee 是童星出身，其母为挣钱谎报了她的年龄，她嫁人的时候才１６岁。为了和死亡争夺时间，Bobby Darin拼命工作，到处演唱、拍电影，曾经获得奥斯卡的提名，３７岁就离开了人世。Beyond the Sea不是他最早演唱，但他的版本比较有名。

在影片中Kevin Spacey 亲自演唱，有评论说比原唱还要好。没听过原唱，不好比较，不过感觉比Walk the Line那两位主演唱得要好得多。不过Kevin Spacey演出时 的年纪比Bobby Darin去世时还大８岁，看他和小姑娘谈恋爱我觉得很不舒服。作为编导还算称职，这是他导演的第二部作品，不知他是否会向前发展。

有意思的是，贝托鲁齐的The Dreamers（戏梦人生）也以那首歌曲为主旋律，歌曲在影片中反复播放，令我怀疑这首歌曲原来就是法文的，从听者的感觉来看，法文版的演唱更自然顺畅。感谢万能的GOOGLE，我今天找到了源头。果真如此。

The Story Behind The Song
As with all of Trenet's songs this one was originally published by Raoul Breton in France with the title "La Mer" (The Sea). This was also the title of a lovely concert piece by Debussy. In previous years I had met M. & Mme. Breton on their New York visits and written English lyrics to their French hits. I never did direct translations; for one thing, my high school French was inadequate.

But I truly felt doing a literal translation was hardly creative so I would play the French song over and over until it became part of me. Then and only then would I start creating my lyric. In the past I had written lyrics to a couple of Trenet's French hits and when we finally met on one of his trips to the U.S. he complimented me on my work.

The Bretons came to my home in New York in '46 with recordings of "La Mer" and said that Trenet would like me to do the English lyric. I loved the unusual melody he had written but was not intrigued with his French lyric, which told about the different moods of the sea, and how they affected him.

Also, most of the recordings that had been made were somber and symphonic in feeling. I decided that my lyric would tell a different story — a romantic tale of a sea-faring lover and a land-locked lover waiting on a golden shore for his return.

I would like to quote from an article by Will Friedwald that appeared in the 2002 music issue of Vanity Fair. He wrote:

"Lawrence's words to "Beyond The Sea" constitute a lyric of the highest order. He started by adding that one word: beyond, and that drove the entire song. In the song's middle section Lawrence goes beyond "beyond" by using the word as the linchpin of a series of phrases, each with a slightly different meaning. "Beyond a star... Beyond the moon... Beyond a doubt" The word star arrives on an accidental C-sharp, which charges the phrase with unexpected oomph and gives the word an especially starry feeling. Changing the title, paradoxically, allowed Lawrence to remain phonetically faithful, at least, to Trenet's original: in Trenet's text each 8 bar "A" section begins with the words "La Mer"; in Lawrence's version each of these sections commences with "Somewhere" so that the English lyric has the same sonic feel as the original."

Thank you, Will, for the clarity of your explanation. It's so nice to know that the workings of one's mind are being appreciated by experts.

Let me continue with more of Will's article:

"For all the craftsmanship of Lawrence and Trenet, "Beyond The Sea" was not an instant hit in America. The early recordings were surprisingly heavy. Benny Goodman recorded it with a string orchestra in 1947 and Tex Beneke cut it with his Glenn Miller orchestra. (An air check survives of Beneke playing it with Ronnie Deauville, a crooner who was almost impossible to distinguish from the young Sinatra. This track has been circulated by collectors as a Miller-Sinatra recording). For ten years or so the song lay dormant."

One day at the publisher's offices I ran into a new young singer with a distinctive style. He was brash and a bit cocky but rather refreshing and his name was Bobby Darin. He didn't hesitate to tell everyone that someday he would be as popular as Sinatra. I gave him a copy of "Beyond The Sea" and asked him what he thought of it. He said he liked some of the recordings he'd heard but he felt the song lacked a definite beat. A few months later he sent me his latest album and there was "Mack The Knife" and "Beyond The Sea" done to a crisp with an infectious toe-tapping beat and Bobby's inimitable delivery. Everyone in the business will agree that Bobby Darin's version turned those two songs into mega-hits.

Through the years, after his untimely death, there has been repeated talk of one of the big studios filming THE BOBBY DARIN STORY. Recently, Kevin Spacey announced that for years he has been eager to star in that role. Some say he may be a bit long in the tooth to play that youngster but let's wait and see. After all, he's an Oscar winner.

大灰狼跟小绵羊的故事，我更愿意把它理解成转角遇到爱的另一版本。本以为是讲猥琐大叔搞定萌妹子的事情，原来是两个同样失恋的人最后留下了许多耐人寻味的可能性。同样的是被前任莫名其妙狠心丢掉的大灰狼和小绵羊，同样是放不下前任，静静地守望，同样是从事反反复复的工作，一个负责复印打印试卷，一个负责分发收拢试卷，故事如果这样下去的话，就成柴米油盐的生活片了，但是本片不是啊。。。典型的台湾小清新文艺片有木有！两个人都是漫画绘画天才啊，给同学们的试卷天天都是小狼小羊隔空传情啊，这要误导小孩子们怎么办啊！好吧，谁会拒绝这样浪漫的爱情。成千上万的纸飞机，女汉子被感动了好吗！但是台剧好含蓄一个，就算是刚刚的心情才惊天动地过，见了面只是句你好。
爱情是蝴蝶，当你倾心追逐的时候，可能会一次次扑空。当你静静地坐下来等待，它就会落在你的肩上。

说起封门村，在关注灵异现象的朋友的眼里，这真是一个鼎鼎大名的地方，封门村原名风门村，后因笔误（不知道这是不是也算灵异现象）被记载为封门村，近百年来不断发生灵异事件，被传说中国第一鬼村，后村民不堪其扰举村搬迁，只留下一座真正封门闭户的荒村遗址，和一大堆让人不寒而栗的传说，留待后来好事者和误入者去感受阴森惊恐的氛围。

这两年，随着国产惊悚片创作者们的卖力挖掘，富有鬼吹灯气质的封门村一度成为热门村，玩不起大卡司大制作，借助拍摄地本身的名气来吸引观众，绝对是行之有效的一招，去年的《枕边有张脸》，今年的《封门村》都是以该村作为背景实地拍摄，至于两家剧组在封门村是否经历了传说中那些不可思异的现象，我们不得而知，仅就银幕上呈现的破败和诡异，已勾起了人们更多的好奇心，有人专门在网络上召集旅友一起去征服封门村，八成就是被电影调动的兴致。

除了封门村本身的吸引力，电影《封门村》本身也不乏看点，即便没有宏大的格局和复杂的叙事，仍然形成了很惊悚的氛围，以及富有思考性的故事主题，让人在惊栗之余，也能产生一些对电影、对现实的思考，与多数只图吸睛不顾三观的同类型电影有了泾渭之分。

很多年以前好莱坞电影《七宗罪》，被其中骇人的人性所震动，以致好久都深感恐惧，觉得人确实太可怕，影片当然没有那么宏观且系统的犯罪心理学，仅是从“贪欲”这一宗罪着手，通过一个惊险、离奇到不可思议的故事，剖析了包工头与村民的利欲之争，伤害与复仇，来龙去脉，都有详细的情感基础，典型的现实主义核心，而呈现出来却是标准的荒村题材惊悚片，不能不佩服创作者另辟蹊径的智慧。

其实影片围绕这个核心，所推动的故事具有强烈的悬念，男主人公走入封门村后，经历的一连串怪事，同行失踪，诡秘的一家人，死去的童尸，似有歹心的合伙人，性感的娇妻，两年前神秘的车祸与修路工程，这些看似不关联的事件在经过有序的铺排后，谜底直至最后才一揭分晓，结局洋溢的温馨、宽容，基本上可以告慰并平息他们曾犯下的罪。

仅就贪欲这一宗罪，其实讲得清楚明白就足够让人吓掉胆，影片围绕这七宗罪式的一宗罪，集合了利欲、争斗、亲情、爱情等多重元素。如片头字幕所示：人之初，性本善，性相近，习相远……一是接近传统的道德体系让影片具有了鲜明的本土色彩，二是有始有终，指向“人之初”的观察角度也让影片具有了时空的深度。这两个特色也从而在“封门村”传说的基础研发出一个全新的现代的故事。

如果你并不在意惊悚片的深意和体系，只图个眼前刺激，那么《封门村》也有很多猛料，几位“修路合伙人”在生意面前的互相猜忌，暗藏私心，性感女星徐冬冬的热辣床戏和内心戏码，封门村诡异的场景布局，呼之欲出的恐怖气氛，以及行为诡异妆容可怖的村民，都有不拘常规之处。
