《 靜默的聲音 》
很久沒有煲劇。
周末下午打開 netflix 頻道，選了一輯 Ken and Lynn 執導的紀錄片 : "The Vietnam War" ，看看停停吃吃喝喝，就是如此這般直落一晚通宵，忘記了到底有多少集。
影片由法國殖民的越南開始，講述二戰之後美國派遣數以十萬計美軍參戰， 泥足深陷不能自拔，國內反戰之聲不絕，最後敗走麥城……
這輯《越南戰火》受歡迎，配樂應記一功，當畫面出現萬民在水深火熱之中，烽火連天、砲聲隆隆、血肉橫飛的時候，背景音樂便響起 Paul Simon 作曲填詞，旋律柔和優美的 "The Sound of Silence"，頗有上世紀吳宇森當時得令時那種蒙太奇手法，無聲的慢鏡槍戰，配上白鴿在悠閒樂聲中飛翔……
但不得不提，去年的中港合拍（垃圾）片《追捕》，吳宇森竟然仍然重複當年相同的手法，令人慘不忍睹，白白浪費了福山雅治等一班明星。
感覺就像曾經紅極一時的舞小姐，年華老去仍然要去廟街重操故業…… 吳宇森導演，何必呢？
言歸正傳，導演選用 The Sound of Silence這首歌，必定有他的含義，只要大家留意歌詞，就會明白。
聽著聽著，感覺就和今天的香港一模一樣。
星期天的早晨，和大家分享這首張家輝在《激戰》中也選用的歌曲。
請留意歌詞，尤其是最後的這一段 : 「答案，已經寫在牆上……」

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence
