Beyond Here Lies Nothing

我想廣大Sookie Stackhouse書迷
都對Alan Ball又愛又恨
甚至有人開始問, Alan是否打算ignore原著中整條Sookie/Eric故事發展呢?


這個問題, 我想只有Alan老大知道了～
Alan Ball是個金奬編劇, 在許多訪談中可看得出全劇演員對Alan非常尊敬, 常常說Alan的好話~

第二季在美國剛播完第4集
台灣據說8月份也即將播出 (Oh, Yeh~HBO有眼光!)




前幾個月第二季預告剛出來時, 網路上一片叫好
Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård飾演) 剪去沈悶的離子燙長髮
正式登場加入Sookie/Eric/Bill糾纏不清的Love Triangle (finally!)



Bob Dylan的新歌Beyond here lies nothing, 似乎比原本的片頭曲更貼切劇情的氛圍
Life sucks. It hurts so good. 這詞寫的太棒了

Credit: Bob Dylan
Album: "Together through Life"

Well I love ya pretty baby
You're the only love I've ever known
Just as long as you stay with me
The whole world is my throne
Beyond here lies nothin' ,nothin' we could call our own

Well I'm movin' after midnight
Down boulevards of broken cars
Don't know what I'd do without her
Without this love that we call ours
Beyond here lies nothin', nothin 'but the moon and stars

Down the street there's a window
A heavy window made of glass
Well keep on lovin' pretty baby
For as long as love will last
Beyond here lies nothin ' bout ' the mountains of the past

While my ship is in the harbour
And the sails are spread
Listen to me pretty baby
Lay your hand up on my head
Beyond here lies nothin', nothin' done and nothing said

Bob Dylan的這首歌"Beyond Here Lies Nothing"歌詞非常貼切原著第四集的劇情
可以想像Sookie與Eric亡命天涯時, 這首歌響起, 然後Eric就殺出重圍....
若是第四集需要選首主題歌, 這首歌真該入選...



你不得不佩服Alan精彩地改寫了Sookie Stackhouse Series
原作者Charlaine Harris筆下的世界是以Sookie的第一人稱觀點來進行
HBO的True Blood 真愛如血, 刪去雜亂的人物情節, 影集片頭set the right tone.
故事架構在美國悶熱的南方小鎮Bon Temps, 赤裸地呈現人性的光怪離奇與不堪
在這部影集中, 是人類對其他族群充滿恐懼, 四處殘害人類, 不是吸血鬼挑起的戰亂

By the way, True Blood影集使用的配樂都很到位, 真該頒座金球獎給他



後記: 我比較喜歡版本2, Eric的鏡頭比較多, 而且Eric與Bill circle的那幾個鏡頭張力十足, Eric對著鏡頭抹血一笑, Oh my~
