昨晚去影院看了2012电影版《悲惨世界》,到现在脑海里还时不时回味这首歌的旋律。

 

这不是我第一次看悲惨世界了，07年底在其即将结束演出前我在百老汇我有幸看了剧院版演出，很震撼。想说的是感谢雨果在150年前写出这部不朽名著，感谢30年前创作出这部音乐剧的艺术工作者，虽然当年在百老汇剧场有一半的对白和歌词我听不懂，但我感受到了！

 

把内容如此丰富的长篇巨著塞到2个多小时的时间里，其实很不容易。电影比舞台的优势在于场面，2012版电影做的还算不错，虽然我对起义那段不太满意，舞台上几十个人就能给我千军万马的感觉，屏幕上反倒真的就几十个人了。演员们的唱功虽然无法和Broadway的专业人员相比，但是作为一种把人脸放大到卡车大小的艺术表现形式，边唱边演，几位主创表现的不错，几乎算是演技派了吧。

 

周一的影院晚场人不多，百人的放映厅也就坐了20几个人，但后一小时抽泣声在各个方向清晰可闻，几乎击中我泪点的场面不是Anne Hathaway 低声的控诉,不是小英雄中弹倒地，不是冉阿让最后的弥留，而是马利尤斯（Eddie Redmayne饰演）重返空屋，唱的那首Empty Chairs at Empty Tables，所有的兄弟和战友都已逝去，只有自己苟活，独对无尽的悲伤和缅怀。

 

好在总有这首Do You Hear the People Sing? 给人以力量，不亚于国际歌的那种力量。可惜不会在日志贴视频，只能给链接了。

 歌词如下：

 

            ENJOLRAS

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

 

         COMBEFERRE

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Courfeyrac:
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

                ALL

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

           FEUILLY

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

             ALL

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
