上帝之城——纪录片《废城Ghost town》

Youtube 链接

包含三个部分。

第一部分的亮点是幸存基督徒的口述史,从1920年代的美国传教士到如今两代本地传教士,最后教堂的歌声极美。至今最普遍使用的傈僳文仍然是当年传教士们的遗产。

第二部分是年轻人与老人们的挣扎,记录一下傈僳老奶奶唱的歌:

Life is a twisting mountain road.
The higher you climb the rougher the going.
My life has been full of hardship.
I gave birth to so many children.
I fed them like a pack of dogs.
Now I’m the only one left alive.
And none of my children can help me.
No place to live. No clothes on my back.
I’m totally empty-handed.
I do whatever pleases me.

Come on! Let’s dance!
My mom and dad are both dead.
My children have passed too.
I’m free to hit the road whenever.

最喜欢第三部分,高贵的野蛮,少年在尘土飞扬中的打斗。愿上帝保佑。

私心希望最后一个镜头给教会而非雕像。
