在《White Water Fury》(2000)的片場,一件小事弄得劇組人仰馬翻,一名出身表演世家的演員只是因為水果籃裡的水果不新鮮、瓶裝水不是他要的沛綠雅,而是依雲,氣得衝出片場跟經紀人告狀。
.
這個大牌演員就是來自瑞典的比爾.史柯斯嘉(Bill Skarsgård)。他當時年僅九歲。
.
與其說是比爾想要耍大牌,而是他壓根沒有想要就這樣「理所當然」的成為演員。他的父親史戴倫.史柯斯嘉(Stellan Skarsgård)本身就是瑞典家喻戶曉的演員,曾與拉斯.馮.提爾(Lars von Trier)有多次合作,他既是《神鬼奇航 Pirates of the Caribbean》系列飾演「皮靴比爾」,也是《媽媽咪呀! Mamma Mia!》系列中的老爹比爾,近年又以《雷神索爾 Thor》系列的艾瑞克博士享有盛名。
.
史戴倫.史柯斯嘉在兩段婚姻之中育有八個孩子,七個兒子,一個女兒,因為覺得實在生了太多,所以近年特別去動了結紮手術。其中老大亞歷山大(Alexander)、老二古斯塔夫(Gustaf)、老三山姆(Sam)以及排行第五的瓦爾特(Valter)都是演員。自小就跟著爸爸與哥哥環遊世界、將片場當自家後院的比爾,很自然而然也被認為要繼承父志。
.
但對於比爾來說,對表演可以很快速上手,倒也不見得跟父親有關。他說更大的原因在於自己是在一個全世界最自由的地方長大的有關,那就是他的家鄉斯德哥爾摩。
.
「在這裡,男人可以因為有情緒而哭泣,每個人都被允許展現他們自己的情感,每人都可以成為他們想要成為的人。顯然,這樣的包容性並不是太尋常。」比爾解釋道。
.
但或許正是因為不想要跟隨「命運的安排」,比爾說自己高中的曾想過要來叛逆一回,主修選了科學,心想著「不如成為一個醫生吧」,因為他的母親正是一名醫生,又想過可以考慮成為一個生物學家。他說,我不想只是被當成「史柯斯嘉家族的老四」。
.
但在高中期間,他依然不時收到一些表演邀約。偶然他讀到了一個劇本,他驚覺那個角色形塑相當具有寫實性,這使他又重新燃起表演的衝動。他走到那部作品的導演漢斯.霍姆(Hannes Holm)面前,直截了當地說:「我不知道我該怎麼做,但我一定要演你的電影。」
.
後來他在這部名為《Behind Blue Skies》(2010)的作品擔綱男主,飾演一個渴望得到認同的酗酒少年。
.
2010年是比爾大放異彩的一年,同年他又在《阿蒙正傳 SimpleSimon》飾演一名患有亞斯伯格症的男孩,可說一飛沖天,該作品代表瑞典參與當年奧斯卡最佳外語片競逐,也使得比爾得以走上國際影壇。之後他得到了演出《安娜.卡列尼娜 Anna Karenina》(2012)、《分歧者3:赤誠者 Allegiant》(2016)與影集《鐵杉樹叢 Hemlock Grove》(2013-2015)的演出機會,在美國逐漸站穩腳步。
.
但真正使得他一舉樹立代表形象的,還是史蒂芬.金(Stephen King)小說改編的《牠 It》(2017)與《牠:第二章 It Chapter Two》(2019)。該片的同名影集《靈異魔咒》(1990)無疑是八、九〇年代兒童的噩夢,恐怖的「小丑」潘尼.懷斯就潛伏在小鎮各處,大啖小孩為樂。
.
比爾所接演的角色,正是「小丑」。
.
導演安迪.馬希提(Andy Muschietti)說自己之所以會看上比爾,是因為他的臉有種孩子氣、有股天真,而他同時覺得這同時也可以轉化成一種令人不安和邪惡的氣場。此外,許多人都沒發現比爾的眼睛還有個絕活,他能夠同時看向不同的方向(許多觀眾都以為是特效處理的)。
.
比爾說自己在接到這個角色之前還沒看過《靈異魔咒》,但從小就聽許多朋友說這部作品如何毀了他們的童年。他頑皮地說:「我希望也會有很多十歲孩子因為我的表演而產生創傷。」不過這個念頭在演出過程中就煙消雲散了,因為一群兒童演員當場被他嚇哭,他心想:「Holy shit! 我在做什麼?」等到導演喊卡之後,他跟孩子們說:「嘿!我很抱歉,我是假裝的啦!」
.
在首集的《牠》之中,德利鎮屢屢傳出小孩失蹤案,男孩比爾為了找到疑似被小丑捉走的弟弟,與朋友班、貝貝、瑞奇、史丹、麥可、艾迪組成「魯蛇俱樂部」,誓言對抗這個神秘的邪靈。而在續作《牠:第二章》,已經事隔27年,小丑再次作亂,麥可聯絡起各奔東西的童年夥伴,但每個人已經不再願意再次正視自己的噩夢⋯⋯。
.
除了比爾續演小丑一角,續集還有詹姆斯.麥艾維(James McAvoy)、潔西卡.崔絲坦(Jessica Chastain)、比爾.哈德(Bill Hader)等好萊塢一線演員加盟。整體評價不俗,延續了詭譎的氣氛,同時也增添了更多的喜趣場面與情感深度。小丑的真實身分也一步步地被揭露,「牠」恐怕不只是一個怪物,更是一種象徵著恐懼的心魔。在這部作品裡,每個觀眾都能自我投射,發掘屬於自己的陰影與心魔。
.
當被問到會不會將《靈異魔咒》中飾演小丑的提姆.柯瑞(Tim Curry)視為一座難以翻越的高牆。比爾以一貫坦然而隨性地口吻說:「我是一個與提姆.柯瑞完全不同的演員,提姆就是提姆,沒有人會比提姆更適合詮釋提姆。同樣的道理,也沒有人會把比爾.史柯斯嘉演得比我更好。」

野放台灣五十餘年,貪狼獨坐,三方四正殺破狼格局,少年多舛,白手起家,隨展覽雲遊四海,如閒雲野鶴常持各類底片機流連廢墟、山川、宮廟忘返,遂設幻影堂自詡堂主,一日三省「凡所有相皆是虛妄」,常宅於暗房沖片放大通宵、鍾情黑白世界之單純,彩色照片俗世繽紛花俏做作甜美甚至比現實更現實故少拍也。知天命之年有餘,了悟人生一瞬、眨眼即逝,雖非仙人,亦無道骨,初聞離垢地生清淨心,但離華嚴「不動地」尚遠,待修持也。
2017年盛暑拍畢《巨神連線》,心律不整差點心肌梗塞向閻羅王報到,意識死神隨伺在側,人生苦短,如何了生脫死、盡斷煩惱、無所罣礙、遠離顛倒……總不得解,蒙釋迦摩尼佛開示飆淚三晝夜,聞佛法數載始知自我渺如塵埃,甚感慚愧。閒暇乃參訪名寺古剎,禮敬焚香佛陀菩薩羅漢諸神天仙王爺媽娘,台灣宮廟千奇百怪、宗派錯綜複雜(佛教、道教、一貫道、天主教、基督教、齋教、回教&大同教、儒教鑾堂、天帝教&天德教、慈惠堂&勝安宮、軒轅教、道院、理教、萬國道德會、會靈山……)、神棍橫行(依人不依法、偶像崇拜、斂財、邪淫),因歷史變遷、社會動盪、政治鬥爭、意識形態等因素導致佛道混雜,但地獄造景稀少,後專注拍攝各殿閻王、判官、陰司、獄卒、七爺、八爺乃至一切罪人,各寺造景巧妙、耐人尋味,意境乖張溢於言表,造型扭曲非常人所能塑也,然匠心獨運、自成一格,專研西方藝術數十載方知真誠樸拙最美,絲毫不輸喬托(Giotto di Bondone,1267~1337)乃至米開朗基羅(Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni 1475 ~ 1564)矣。
創立於1986年的石門金剛宮風景優美可眺望北濱,雖主祀四面佛,儒釋道眾神尊也不含糊,可過七星橋解厄、繞行五百黝黑羅漢敲鑼印心、跪拜亞洲最大臥佛涅槃像,安太歲自不在話下,甲子太歲爺雙眼長出手掌印象甚深,1994年經閻羅王指示廟公建造一條肚內設極樂世界及陰曹地府之神龍,行走暗黑通道觸動感應機關,只見面容猙獰受刑者呼天搶地喊冤、身邊盡是血肉糢糊殘肢敗屍腦漿塗地,十殿閻羅各司其職、威儀攝人。新北市林口區青嶺湖北文紫祥宮包公廟則以壁面彩塑地獄浮雕獨步全台,粉嫩色彩搭配卡漫風格,尤為造型簡直恐怖到可愛透頂,該廟主祀森羅殿閻羅天子包拯(包青天),陽世冤屈者可至此參拜祭解,求破懸案者眾,逢中元普渡皆以紙紮船渡亡魂至彼岸,全台唯一閻羅天子巨像籌備中,四周環繞墓地,適合修不淨觀也。台灣首尊彰化八卦山大佛旁南天宮(1971)地府則是首座電動地府,規模精小但驚嚇度破表,略顯破敗但五光十色仍蠻凶悍,出自已故台南大道長金登富之作,而電動神明起始可追溯至1960年代北港朝天宮。倒是嘉義水上鄉白人牙膏觀光工廠「戴相府」、「將軍府」設置十殿地府出乎意料之外,乾淨亮麗、ㄧ殿ㄧ間、簡單樸實。由高雄蓮潭龍虎塔龍口入內可見全臺唯一交趾陶地獄牆面,尊尊栩栩如生,續入龍身乃進聞聲救苦白衣觀音大士三十三化身浮雕隧道,造型設色甚為古錐。高雄大岡山超峰寺入口處「西方三聖蓮池海會」(阿彌陀佛、觀世音菩薩、大勢至菩薩巨像)旁設靜態十殿閻羅(1970年代初),雖略為陳舊然韻味猶存,續往上行可抵「證菩提道-釋迦如來應化事迹」雕塑園區,一攬世尊畢生精華。如來年邁時,琉璃國王為報長期被釋迦族輕蔑之傲慢心,世尊雖三次單獨伽跌坐 阻擋大軍進攻之路,但因緣果報無法逆轉,昔日婢女所生王子瞋恨無以復加,還是滅了祖國。自持神通第一目犍連不忍無辜百姓慘遭屠殺,遂以缽盛救度五百族人,最終卻化為血水,佛言神通廣大仍不敵千百劫業力,因緣果報屢試不爽。其母死後墜入餓鬼道飢餓難耐,目犍連遂展神通救渡,但所食尚未入口皆化為赤火,佛陀囑咐農曆七月十五日僧眾解安居自恣日,於盆中設甘露美食供養十方僧眾,因此超度亡母。後世「盂蘭盆法會」乃至「水懺法會」、「瑜珈焰口法會 」皆為消業障、斷塵垢之超渡儀軌,既渡亡魂也自懺悔。
台南麻豆代天府規模宏大、造型豔麗,不但可遊十八層地獄尚可逛天堂(1979年興建,1983年開放),燈光絢爛、聲響駭人,獨自漫步宛如觀落陰、地獄走一回。先過「心頭山」、入「清心池」、進「陰陽界」、抵「交簿廳」、達「鬼門關」、遊「補經所」、探「枉死城」、行「奈何橋」,至ㄧ殿泰廣王照「孽鏡台」現造惡原形,睹抱柱、火床等小地獄。二殿楚江王開「陰查簿 」判案定奪,觀糞尿泥、餓鬼、舞池、寒冰、膿血、鞭韃、舌犁、劍葉、戟腹拋接、砧截……等小地獄。三殿宋帝王刑罰為倒吊、銅鐵刮臉、挖眼、搗樁、倒烤、吸血、穿肋、抽筋、蛆蛀等小地獄……兼遊「四生(胎、卵、濕、化)回魂府」。四殿五官王掌管腰斬、拔舌、沸湯、刺嘴、剝皮、箭樹、車崩、射眼……等十六小地獄。隨五殿森羅王豋「望鄉臺」回眸親人最終眼後觀擊膝、誅心、刀山、飛刀火石……小地獄。六殿卞城王別稱「大叫喚大地獄」,轄火牛、虎啖、噬腎、鉗嘴含鍼、釘喉、磨摧、砍頭……等小地獄。七殿泰山王為「熱惱大地獄」,窺烙手指、抽腸、頂石蹲身、油釜滾烹、割舌穿腮……等十六小地獄。八殿都市王掌管「大熱惱大地獄」兼火狗、鐵汁、鐵蛇、鋸劈斷肢、釘板、灸脊、鐵丸、磅秤……等小地獄。九殿平等王直轄十八層「阿鼻大地獄」,直透地心、內中陰森、不見五指、滿溢地漿,皆為極犯,另轄紫赤毒蛇鑽孔、夾頂、鐵鴉、針雨、蜂蠍……等小地獄。至十殿輪轉王上「觀生臺」、「轉劫所八司」(查驗司 、稽善司 、考過司 、恩怨司 、壽命司 、支配司、掌劫司 、授生司)後至「孟婆亭」飲「醧忘湯」忘盡前塵往事,依前世功德過金、銀、玉、石、木、竹六種橋樑至「轉輪臺(紫河車)」入六道輪迴轉生投胎。據《十八泥犁經》記載,人過世後七七四十九天為「中陰生」,經閻羅王審判善惡業力判定去留或懲罰百千萬劫,犯五逆重罪則墮入「無間地獄(阿鼻地獄)」永劫不復。地藏王乃幽冥教主,統轄十殿閻羅,逢三曹普渡便在各殿設「講道所」超度尚存善根之鬼魂。

地獄可能空滅嗎?若地獄空乏人間多鬼怪,地獄淨空世間何嘗非淨土?若能證空性何處現地獄?
地獄曠古來便廣泛流傳各部族間,老死生滅為自然運行之基礎、宇宙意識之核心,然今文明昌盛如咱城邦並非慾望消弭之所,惡性所及實無可根除,礙於憲法國家法律社會軍隊企業公司學校家庭團體之層層束縛不亞於十八層,乃遁於壓抑、束己情懷,暗埋心底、日久貪嗔痴慢疑怨噌會疊穢。而六塵未熄,心多妄念,妖魔鬼怪魑魅魍魎孤魂閃靈出沒於荒郊乃至人間,會靈於曠野密林以增性靈乃出世高人修煉之舉,我等凡人擅闖宛如迪士尼般之人造地獄,三魂七魄尚不足以出竅,驚邪恐怖淒厲猙獰倒滿足了自以為是的慚愧,豈不謬哉?

姚瑞中寫於2021年端午節
Postscript
I have been living recklessly in Taiwan for more than fifty years. According to Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), Tan Lang is the sole star in my house of Self. This star, which represents xxx, forms an equilateral triangle with that star Qi Sha and Po Jun on the square chart and constitutes a Sha Po Lang pattern. The pattern indicates a kind of turbulence and change, a life of wandering with ups and downs and it tells a lot about my life. After my ill-fated youth, I started from scratch and traveled around the world with exhibitions that I participated. Like a flaneur, I wandered around ruins, nature, and temples with every type of film camera obliviously. Thus, I founded the Hall of Illusion and claimed to be the master of the hall. Several times a day, I pondered a quote from the Diamond Sutra, “Everything with form is unreal.” In addition, I usually stayed in the darkroom developing film and enlarging those negatives overnight. However, I treasured the simplicity of the black and white world. The earthly, gaudy, garish, phony and pleasing qualities within colored photos make the images even more realistic than the real world. It is not my cup of tea, so I seldom took colored photos. In Confucian thought, the age of fifty marks the stage knowing the mandate of Heaven. I am now at my fifties and realize how ephemeral human life is. However, I am not an immortal, nor having sagelike characteristics. I just learned that the stage of stainless (the second bhūmi) and develop a pure mind that is free from doubt and defilement. However, I’m still far from the immovable state and need to practice.
In the summer of 2017, after filming the work Incarnation, I experienced a severe heart rhythm problem which almost triggered myocardial infarction and could have killed me. Consequently, I realized that death was waiting for me and the life is too short to figure out how I can liberate myself from the cycle of Birth and Death. I couldn’t comprehend how to be free from all afflictions and worries and how to avoid delusive ideas. I wept for three days and nights after being enlightened by Shakyamuni Buddha. Up to the moment, I felt ashamed that I failed to realize that the self is as insignificant as dust after these years learning and practicing Buddhism. Since then, I have visited famous temples and monasteries in my spare time, worshiping Buddha, Bodhisattvas, arhats, and all the deities and immortals. Taiwan’s temples are myriad with a enormous number of sects, including Buddhism, Taoism, Yiguandao, Catholicism, Christianity, Chinese religions of fasting, Islam& Baháʼí Faith, Confucianism, Tiandiism& Tian-De Teachings, Xiwangmu cult, Yellow Emperor Sect, Precosmic Salvationism, Liism, World Wide Ethical Society, séance cult, etc. Some people even claim that they can mediate communication between the deities or spirits of the dead with human beings, having their believer rely on themselves instead of the orthodox dharma or dogma and pay excessive respect and admiration for the mediums or objects, accumulating wealth through such an unfair means or even harassing their believer sexually. Due to Taiwan’s historical changes, social turbulence, political struggles, and ideological issues, Buddhism and Taoism are somehow mixed. However, there are few emphases on the concept of the hell. As I took photographs of Yama of each court, judges, wardens of the underworld, jailers, General Fan and Hsieh (the ghost escorts) and all sinners, I found few temples cleverly created hellish scenes that are intriguing, exaggerating, and extraordinary. However, the creations are unparalleled unique. I have been studying Western arts for decades and then I came to realize that simplicity makes the most beautiful works of art. These hellish scenes can even compete with works of Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337) and Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475-1564).
Jingang Temple Shimen District, founded in 1986, overlooks the beautiful North shore. Although the temple is mainly dedicated to Phra Phrom (the Thai representation of Mahabrahma), spirits of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can also be founded in the temple. The worshipper can go cross the Seven Star bridge to relieve bad luck, walk along the five hundred arhat statues and knock on the gong to affirm one’s Buddha nature. Furthermore, the worshipper can also prostrate themself before Asia’s largest statue of Buddha in Nirvana (the Reclining Buddha statue) and pacify the Taoist Tai Sui deity of the year. I was impressed by the Jia-Zi Tai Sui General that a pair of palms grow out of his eyes. In 1994, the biō-kong (the person taking charge of the temporal affairs of a temple) received a divine inspiration from Yama (the King of Hell) that he had to build a sacred hall in the shape of a divine dragon, with the interior designed according to the World of Ultimate Bliss and the Underworld. When the visitor walks in the dark hallway, they will see the tortured people (dioramas, of course) scrunching their faces and crying bitterly and loudly in excessive grief as the visitor triggers the mechanism. One will even find them in the midst of flesh, body liquid and blood, mutilated limbs, and rotten corpses. While each of the ten Yamas are focusing on their own duties, showing their sacred dignity that collect visitors’ attention. The Baogong Temple in Linkou District, New Taipei City exclusively features colorful depiction of hellish scenes in relief in Taiwan. With its pastel shades and cartoon-like style, the relief is both grotesque and adorable at the same time. This temple is dedicated to Bao Zhen (also known as Justice Bao) representing the incarnation of Yama. Living people who have been treated unjustly can come worshipping Bao Gong and receive exorcism. Therefore, many people come here for seeking to solve unsolved cases. In Zhongyuan Festival (the ghost festival), the temple will burn the Zhizha (paper craft) boat to ferry the ghosts to the other shore, which is the shore of enlightenment. The only giant statue of Yama in Taiwan is still in the making. The temple is surrounded by a cemetery, suitable for meditating on the loathsomeness and impurity. Nantian Temple (1971), located next to the Eight Trigram Mountains Buddha in Changhua, features the first animatronic underworld. Despite the small size, the animatronic underworld is intensely shocking. Though it’s slightly worn, the colorful dioramas are still brutally ferocious. The creator was the late venerable Dao Zhang (Taoist priest) Jing Deng-fu while the origin of animatronic deities can be traced back to the 1960s Beigang Chaotian Temple. On the contrary, the Whiteman Toothpaste Tourism Factory in Shuishang Township, Chiayi, features ten Yamas with individual booth. The place is unexpectedly clean and polished yet keeps a simple and modest tone. Then, the Dragon Pagoda of the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Lake in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, holds the only relief of hellish scenes made of Kochin ceramic. All the figures are vivid and life-like. If one goes further into the pagoda, they will see a relief tunnel of the thirty-three incarnations of the white-robed form of Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara) on a white lotus, with a lovely and interesting design. Another Hall of Yama is built in the 1970s next to the entrance of Dagangshan Chaofeng Temple, located in the Alian District of Kaohsiung. Visitors will also see three statues of the Three Holy Ones of the Western Pureland (Amitābha, Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta) which assemble at a lotus pond. Although the hellish scene looks somewhat antiquated, you may still find its previous charm. If one goes further, they will reach the sculptural garden of “Attaining the Bodhi Way: the Incarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha,” where the visitor can see the essence of Bhagavato’s (meaning the Blessed one, one of the common epithets for Buddha) life. When Tathāgata (another epithet for Buddha) was old, the king of Kosala wanted to avenge the arrogance of the tribe of Shakyas who had long despised him, regarding him as a son of a maiden. Although Buddha has sat in lotus position alone three times to stop the army from attacking his tribe. However, one can never reverse the cause and following karma. The prince born of a maiden was so furious that he eventually destroyed his homeland. Maudgalyāyana (one of the Buddha’s closest disciples), who is said to have had supernatural abilities that surpassed the other disciples, could not bear to see the slaughter of innocent people. Thus, he saved five hundred people of his tribe with a pātra (an eating utensil of Buddhist monks). Unfortunately, everything he did was in vain, those who were saved eventually turned into a puddle of blood. The Buddha said that the supernatural abilities cannot surpass the power of karma. The cause and effect work all the time. When Maudgalyāyana’s mother fell into the path of hungry ghost, he used his supernatural abilities to save his mother from hunger. However, all the food turned into fire before being fed to his mother. Later, the Buddha commanded the monks to put nectar and dishes in a basin on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar for the monks from all directions to free his mother from reincarnation. In later times, the Ullambana Dharma Service, the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance, and the Yoga Collection for Feeding the Searing Mouths Dharma Service are rituals to eliminate karmic hindrance and to cease to worldly delusions. Through such practices, one can free the dead as well as confess their repentance.
Madou Daitian Temple is a magnificent and colorful temple in Tainan. Not only can the worshippers visit the eighteen levels of Hell but also the Heaven (it was built in 1979 and inaugurated in 1983) here. The lighting and sound effects are stunning and frightening. When walking alone in the space, one may feel like taking a Guan Luo Yin trip (a Taoist necromancy which leads people’s spirits to hell and communicate with the dead ones) to visit the underworld prison. Before arriving the first court of the underworld, the visitor will walk through the Mountain of Heart Summit, the Pure Heart Pond, the Frontier between the Living and the Dead Realms, the Soul Registry Hall, the Portico of Demons, the Center for Complementary Teaching of Canonical Books, the Citadel of Premature Death, and the Bridge of Vanity. When one arrives at the first court, they will see King Chin-guang, who is in charge of the court, using the Mirror of Retribution to show the earthly form of evil creatures and also witness the sub-hell of Pillar-Holding and Fire Bed, etc. At the second court, King Chu-jiang collates the register of sins the souls of the dead have committed to impose the punishments. Here, you will see the sub-hell of Excrement and Urine, Hungry Ghost, Burning Dance Floor, Ice, Pus and Blood, Whipping, Tongue-Raking, Sword Blade, Stomach-Piercing, Chopping, etc. Next, the dead at the third court, ruled by King Song-di, will receive the punishments including inversion tortures, face-skinning with steel and copper knife, eye-wrenching, pounding, blood-sucking, rib-piercing, roasting, tendon-taking, being eaten by maggots. The visitor can pay a visit to the Palace of Soul-Resuscitation for the Four Forms of Creatures (birth from an egg, birth from a womb, birth from moisture, and birth by transformation). King Wu-guan is in charge of the fourth court. There are sixteen sub-hells at the fourth court including Waist Chop, Tongue Removal, Boiling Pond, Mouth-stabbing, Skin-peeling, Sword Tree, Burning Wheels and Cart, Eye-shooting, etc. Next, at the fifth court, sinful souls are allowed to ascend the Tower of Hometown-Viewing to take a final look of their family. The visitor will witness sub-hells of Knee-striking, Heart-slicing, Blade Mountain, Flying Swords and Burning Stones, etc. The King of Bian City takes charge of the sixth court, which is also known as the “Great Hell of Screaming,” with sub-hells including Fire Cattle, Tiger-Biting, Kidney-Eating, Mouth-Poking, Throat-Nailing, Iron Mill, Decapitation, etc. The King of Tai-shan is in charge of the seventh court, the “Great Hell of Heat and Fire.” The sixteen sub-hells at this court include Finger-Searing, Bowel-Hauling, Stone-Bearing, Boiling Oil, Tongue-Removal and Cheek-Piercing, etc. Next, the King Du-shi is in charge of the eighth court, the “Great Hell of Intense Fire and Heat,” and the sub-hells including Fire Dogs, Molten Iron, Iron Snakes, Dismemberment, Steel Spikes, Burning-Marrow, Iron Ball, Scale, etc. The ninth court is ruled by the King Ping-deng. It is known as the biggest court, Avici Hell (the Hell of Incessant Suffering), which if the lowest level of the hell realm and the interior is gloomily and terrifyingly dark. Those who committed the most serious evil deed will be sent to the Avici Hell. Sub-hells such as Poisonous Snake, Brain-Removal, Crow-Gnawing, Raining Needles, Wasps and Scorpions are included at this court. After arriving the tenth court, ruled by the Great King of the Reincarnation Palace, one can visit the “Observatory of Life on earth” and the “eight bureaus of the Reincarnation Palace” (including the Bureau of Judicial Control, the Bureau of Good-Actions, the Bureau of Bad-Actions, the Bureau of Debts, Gratitude, and Vengeance, the Bureau of Longevity and Destiny, the Bureau of Familial Ties, the Bureau of the Reincarnated, and the Bureau of Birth). The sinful one will be sent to the Pavilion of Mengpo and made to drink the Soup of Forgetfulness to forget all past affairs. According to the sinful one’s merits of previous life, they will go across one of the six bridges (gold, silver, jade, stone, wood, bamboo) to the “Reincarnation-Wheel (Wheel on the Crimson River).” Finally, one is able to reborn in the six realms. According to the Aṣṭadaśa nāraka sutra ( the Eighteen Hells Sutra), after one passes away, they will enter an intermediate and transitional state between death and rebirth, known as antarābhava in Sanskrit, for forty-nine days. The being will be evaluated by Yama, who will decide if one should get reborn or get punished at the hell. Those who committed the Five Grave Offenses (killing one’s father, killing one’s mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and creating a schism within the community of Buddhist monks and nun who practice for attaining enlightenment.) will be sent to the Avici Hell and stay there eternally. Kṣitigarbha is the Lord of the Nether World, ruling the ten court of Hell. The lord will set up the “Hall of Teaching” at each court to salvage those sinful ones who still obtain few merits at the offering rituals.
Human beings live the Sahā world (sahāloka in Sanskrit, meaning “endurance of suffering,” a concept of mundane world in Mahāyāna Buddhism) where they share with other reincarnations (including beings of the hells, of the preta, and of malevolent nature spirits) with five turbidities (the Kalpa turbidity, the view turbidity, the affliction turbidity, the living beings turbidity, and the life turbidity). Those who commit the ten evil deeds (killing, stealing, adultery, lying, using immoral language, slandering, equivocating, coveting, anger, and false views) must fall into the three evil paths (animals, preta, and hell). However, how can one escape from the three realms/ twenty-eight heavens (including the six heavens of the desire realm, the eighteen heavens of the form realm, and the four heavens of the formless realm)? Worldly people who don’t have such an awareness cannot leave the cycle of the twelve nidanas (meaning causes or motivations), let alone eliminate the eighty-one afflictions (that have been produced due to misunderstanding regarding reality) and the eighty-eight illusions (including five afflictions of advanced practitioners, also known as five views: view of self, extreme view, evil view, view of attachment to views, and view of morality; and five unintelligent temptations: desire, anger, stupidity, arrogance, and doubt) of thought within the three realms and four Arya satyas (noble truths, including suffering, arising, ending, and path). They cannot realize that the essence of the five skandhas (referring to aggregates of clinging, including the matter of form, sensation, recognition, mental formation, and consciousness) , the twelve ayatana (meaning sense base, including six internal bases: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind and six external bases: visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects), and the eighteen dhātavah (meaning compositional elements of human existence, including six consciousness, six faculties, and their objects) are the emptiness and the void. Furthermore, they cannot dispel the two reasons for clinging to the idea of the self and the attachment to elemental constructs and even believe in the two (false) tenets that that karma and nirvana are not real and that the ego and phenomena are real. As a consequence, they fail to develop the eleven wholesome mental factors (faith, energy, conscience, being ashamed, non-attachment, non-aggression, non-delusion, calmness, equanimity, conscientiousness, and non-injuriousness) and cease the sixteen unwholesome mental factors (desire, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, wrong view, wrath, enmity, hypocrisy, vexation, jealousy, parsimony, deceit, flattery, harming, ambitiousness, stupidity, lacking of faith, idleness, being unrestrained, forgetting, distraction, non-discernment, ). One must bear in mind that once all our virtuous roots are discontinued, they will be trapped in the never-ending reincarnation and the suffering of infinite continuity.
Is it possible that the hell will be empty one day? If the beings in hell will become extinct while evil spirits inhabit the mundane world, the world could be considered as a pure land. If we could witness the nature of the void, then hell will exist no more.
Since ancient times, the concept of hell has been widely spread among all tribes. Aging, death, beginning, and end are the basis of nature and the core of cosmic consciousness. However, the prosperous civilization as our island is not a place where desire can be eliminated. It’s impossible to eradicate evil nature. Since fetters brought by the constitution, the state, the law, society, the military, corporations, schools, families, and groups are not less than the eighteen levels of hell, the mortals repress themselves, bury their feelings. Day after day, greed, anger, stupidity, arrogance, doubt, and resentment are stacking. However, since the six dust (visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects) has not yet been extinguished, people in the mundane world are still full of delusions. The demons, devils, evil spirits, and the wondering dead exist in the wilderness, while only advanced practitioners with transcendent would attempt to make contact with the dead in the wasteland and forest. Worldly people like us trespass in Disneyland-like man-made hell. It is absurd and ridiculous that the hellish scenes cannot stop us from perpetrating evil deeds, but the horrific and cruel scenes yet satisfy our self-righteous shame.
The pandemic has been boiling over for more than a year and a half. The number of infected patients worldwide is nearly a hundred and eighty million, and the death toll has risen to four million, which is equivalent to a war crisis. I hope that we can all be compassionate, give peace to the dead, treat all sentient beings well and equally. The hell is innately empty; however, deluded and misleading thoughts would give rise to all jealousy and hatred and then manifest the hell before us. This book merely serves as a memorandum of conscience for dictators of the world’s new cold war, supporters of unrestrained warfare, dark web hackers, and those who are cunning and contemptuous and maltreat others when knowing they have problems.

環 遊 世界 八 十 天 影集 在 百工裡的人類學家 Facebook 的最佳解答
越來越接近5月了,原本預計的暑期調查與國際會議也開始面對改期或線上開會的調整。但是,5月同時也有令人期待的國際博物館日,台灣的博物館比起其他國家來的幸運,大致上都還能夠正常開放營運,因此,5月18日的博物館日非常的令人期待。在等待國際博物館日的同時,小編今天來分享一個博物館領域很不容易被看到或注意到的工作,那就是藏品的保存與運送細節。相信就算是到博物館進行實習的朋友,如果沒有參與到典藏管理、保存等項目的工作內容,應該也很難了解藏品運送的一些眉角。
在電影或影集常看到的運送方式就是木箱,裡面會有一些防撞與固定措施,但是木箱都是特別針對運送藏品的尺寸下去訂製,雖然具有尺寸完全符合的優點,但無法給其他藏品使用,博物館等於需要為每一件藏品都預備著一個這樣的木箱,同時,木箱的存放對於博物館一般都捉襟見肘的存放空間更是雪上加霜。不過,荷蘭國家博物館就研發出一個可替換、可調整尺寸、可重複利用的「烏龜箱」。詳細的介紹,請參考影片內的說明。
----------------------------------
很榮幸再度得到荷蘭國家博物館 Rijksmuseum 同意翻譯和使用影片,這次要來和大家揭密博物館幕後神秘的藏品運輸工作,以及藝術品包裝箱界中的神器——荷蘭「烏龜箱」!
➤本影片由Rijksmuseum拍攝製作並同意博物館吧翻譯使用
(Thank you, Tim! )
【影片背景】
這部影片記錄了荷蘭國家博物館與台夫特王子博物館(Museum Prinsenhof Delft)籌辦荷蘭17世紀藝術大師彼得·霍赫(Pieter de Hooch)特展的前置作業過程。
由荷蘭國家博物館的畫作保存維護人員Anna Krekeler親自督導,將館藏中的4件霍赫大師名作包裝搬運,從阿姆斯特丹運送至台夫特博物館
【烏龜箱簡介】
烏龜箱(Turtlebox)🐢,是由荷蘭公司Hizkia Van Kralingen 開發的藝術品包裝箱,主要有黃色和綠色兩種款式,涵蓋各種尺寸。
烏龜箱主打的功能包含:抗震、堅固耐用(耐重摔及重壓)、防潮不滲水(落水可漂浮於水面上)、防火,且箱子本身可橫放也可直立包裝。
箱內特殊的隔絕材料使得內部空間在48小時內,只能最多升高或降低10度,具有穩定溫濕度的功能。同時,可以使用烏龜箱專用App,時時掌握箱內的溫濕度情形;換句話說,能夠確保博物館、美術館的專業人員在合適的溫溼度打開箱子取出藝術作品,避免藝術作品一開箱就因為溫濕度差異過大而產生損害。
此外,箱內可自由配置作品擺放空間,搭配特殊專利的「T+固定角」,可固定一幅至多幅作品。
最重要的是,比起傳統上博物館和美術館的包裝運輸大多需訂製木箱(較不耐用),烏龜箱可重複使用,具有環保和永續性,它99%的零件都可以回收,任何一個部分也能單獨更換,使用壽命超過20年。
正因為烏龜箱強大的功能,使得全球眾多的博物館及美術館都指名使用烏龜箱,來作為重要館藏的包裝箱,例如:荷蘭國家博物館、梵谷博物館、紐約現代藝術博物館、熱內盧國家美術館...等,被視為運輸珍稀藝術品最高規格(也是價格高昂)的包裝箱。
就小編所知,目前臺灣有陳澄波文化基金會使用烏龜箱來包裝運輸陳澄波大師的珍貴畫作唷~
【荷蘭國家博物館介紹】
荷蘭國家博物館位於荷蘭首都阿姆斯特丹,為荷蘭國家級的歷史與藝術博物館,建於1885年,是世界十大頂尖博物館之一, 2015年曾被評為歐洲最佳博物館。館藏涵蓋超過八百年的荷蘭藝術和社會發展歷史,目標提供到訪遊客精采的荷蘭歷史文化之旅。

01:09:10 09 大衛高登格林有望執導《大法師》續集電影
01:17:35 10 索尼透露華納新政策帶給他們的影響
.
01《瘋狂麥斯》外傳電影《芙莉歐莎》檔期、片名正式敲定
.
華納與《瘋狂麥斯:憤怒道》導演 喬治米勒結束麻煩的官司爭議後,近期宣布《瘋狂麥斯:憤怒道》外傳電影正式起跑,片名為《芙利歐莎》(Furiosa),同樣由喬治米勒編導,並由安雅泰勒喬伊、克里斯漢斯沃、葉海亞阿巴杜馬汀二世主演,預計2023年6月23日上映。
.
02 諾蘭透露有意將電影電玩化
.
今年推出《天能》的克里斯多福諾蘭,在日前接受遊戲媒體人 傑夫吉斯利訪問時提到,曾經有試圖在《全面啟動》製作期間製作一款同名遊戲,但最終因為時間和能力評估下終止。他還說,他不想只是做一款授權IP的遊戲,而是希望自己能夠親力親為、參與更多電影和遊戲之間的製作。求好心切的諾蘭在短期內雖然沒有實際改編電影的電玩計畫,但電玩領域對他而言確實是一個相當迷人且有趣的領域。
.
03 蓋兒加朵首度回應《埃及豔后》爭議
.
《神力女超人》派蒂珍金斯與蓋兒加朵的導演演員組合,10月份宣布重拍《埃及豔后》電影計畫後,因蓋兒加朵是以色列人飾演馬其頓血統的埃及女王,而被不少人批評不符史實或種族歧視等爭議。蓋兒加朵在日前接受阿拉伯BBC訪談時首度回應,她們多方嘗試後並沒有找到適合的馬其頓演員。
.
但這種找不到適合演員的官方說詞,早在2014年由克里斯汀貝爾所主演的《出埃及記:天地王者》或是2017年由史嘉蕾喬韓森索主演的《攻殼機動隊》都曾出現過。到底是不是真的找不到符合血統的演員?就目前的媒體和網路討論風向來看,似乎是不讓眾人買單。
.
04 華納兄弟明年退出香港,未來作品將由環球代理發行
.
上週華納兄弟宣布將在2021年元旦起,正式撤出香港市場,未來華納兄弟的製片和發行作品,將由環球影業代理引進。自1994年開始代理發行華納、派拉蒙、迪士尼等作品的香港州立影視向媒體表示:今年因為疫情的緣故,讓不少好萊塢大型片商放棄院線上映,以至於影響戲院營運。
.
值得一提的是,今年華納兄弟在香港賣最好的電影是《天能》,《神力女超人1984》原定12月底上映,但目前是暫時延期。目前華納兄弟在香港方面的十多位員工,將會暫時留任協助《神力女超人1984》的發行作業;未來環球接手華納發行業務後的第一部作品,將會是2021年由丹佐華盛頓、傑瑞德雷托所主演的《細物警探》,同時也是華納2021年採院線串流同步發行的第一部電影,預計在1月29日在院線與HBO Max同步發行。
.
05 阿湯哥片場發飆後又傳新消息
.
上週阿湯哥在《不可能的任務7》片場因現場工作人員不遵守防疫規則而大發飆音檔流出後,被前山達基教女星 莉亞雷米妮指稱,這一切都是阿湯哥公關宣傳的伎倆;雷米妮在一封向國外網站的公開信中指稱,山達基教徒並不承認現代醫學所認定的疾病,以及任何治療方式,而是因為PTS 潛在問題來源所導致。她還說,湯姆克魯斯身為虔誠的山達基教徒,根本不會相信所謂的家庭價值,也不會真心為劇組人員的家人著想,反而是希望能夠藉由這個發飆音檔炒作電影而已。
.
更誇張的是,就在發飆事件爆發後,總計有五位劇組人員集體請辭,劇組也決定提前放聖誕跨年長假,並藉此空檔檢討和改進拍攝作業流程;但這五位劇組人員受到成人網站力邀,準備製作一系列網紅自家實境秀影集,預定明年上線。英國《太陽報》更在公開音檔後再爆料阿湯哥與《不可能的任務7》女星 海莉艾特沃傳出假戲真做的緋聞。但這些周邊八卦到底是不是阿湯哥自導自演,還是跟風者見縫插針炒話題?就見仁見智了。
.
06《獵魔士:狼之惡夢》動畫電影宣布於2021 NETFLIX 上線
.
Netflix在上週釋出了《獵魔士》動畫電影《獵魔士:狼之惡夢》標題預告,確定於2021年推出;這部動畫電影將交由《獵魔士》主創蘿倫希斯里奇,以及製片人 博德梅悠共同製作,描述經驗老到的獵魔人 維瑟米爾,在這個奇幻世界中培育新生代的獵魔人,並帶出利維亞的傑洛特,也就是影集版由亨利卡維爾所飾演的角色。LOGO呼應維瑟米爾的狼學派,也就是專門培育獵魔士的學院,擴大了《獵魔士》的世界觀。
.
07 《私刑教育》影集版曝首支預告將於2021年首播
.
於2014年由安東尼法奎執導,丹佐華盛頓主演的《私刑教育》,以及2018年推出的續集電影《私刑教育2》,是近期受到不少動作影迷推崇的系列電影;事實上,這兩部電影皆改編自1980年代由CBS製作的電視劇《都市奇俠》,描述正義的私刑者為平民百姓打擊犯罪的故事。
.
CBS電視網在去年宣布重新開發《私刑教育》電視劇後,事隔一年正式推出由皇后拉蒂法所主演的版本首支前導預告,皇后拉蒂法一改過去喜劇形象,將會飾演一位難以捉摸,並且身懷絕技的女英雄。除了皇后拉蒂法,卡司包括克里斯諾斯、托利基特爾斯等演員。影集原定今年秋季首播,但因疫情緣故導致拍攝延誤,目前訂檔於2021年2月7日首播。
.
08 西亞李畢福退出新片《Don't Worry, Darling》真相曝光
.
曾演出《變形金剛》而爆紅的好萊塢男星 西亞李畢福,近年來在公開場合的脫序行為以及古怪的個性,讓他與商業娛樂大片漸行漸遠;他近年投入多部獨立製片,在影展和影評圈獲得不少肯定,今年才傳出將出演女星 奧莉維亞魏爾德所執導的第二部長片作品《別擔心,親愛的》(暫譯),卻在九月時傳出因檔期衝突而換角,讓不少影迷覺得相當可惜。
.
近日,西亞李畢福的前女友出面指控他在交往期間發生多起虐待事件,連曾經合作過MV演出的澳洲歌手 西亞(Sia),也爆料他試圖引誘她出軌的行為;《別擔心,親愛的》劇組更爆料,西亞李畢福退出劇組的原因根本就不是檔期衝突,反而是被導演奧利維亞魏爾德的片場拒絕渾蛋規則開除趕走。爆料來源指出,西亞李畢福並不是一個能夠在工作上跟其他人合作的演員。如今西亞李畢福被迫中斷演藝生涯,更要準備和前女友打官司,恐怕再讓他的演藝事業再次受到重創。
.
09 大衛高登格林有望執導《大法師》續集電影
.
根據Observer報導,《月光光新慌慌》導演 大衛高登格林,將再度依循《月光光新慌慌》模式,與布倫屋製片公司合作啟動《大法師》的續集電影計畫,讓不少恐怖影迷期待不已。
.
大衛高登格林除了原定今年上映的《月光光新慌慌:萬聖殺》之外,還有《月光光新慌慌3》的續集電影;他還將與布倫屋合作《養鬼吃人》的影集,以及一部有關劍橋分析事件的改編劇情長片,喜歡大衛高登格林的影迷們可以期待未來看到他更多的作品。
.
10 索尼透露華納新政策帶給他們的影響
.
就在華納宣布2021年所有電影將採院線串流同步發行後,引發不少電影人反彈和出走潮;索尼影業執行長 東尼文席奎拉在接受CNBC訪問時透露,近期有不少來自華納的創作者、演員、導演都有向索尼詢問發行合作;因為索尼是目前仍使用實體電影院發行和製作的公司。
.
綜觀目前好萊塢五大巨頭,索尼是目前唯一一家沒有發展自己VOD平台的電影公司;2020年甚至還將原本要發行院線的海戰電影《怒海戰艦》,轉售給APPLE TV+;也宣布了棄守2020年院線,準備讓原本預計今年上映的《魔比斯》《魔鬼剋星:未來世》《猛毒2:大屠殺》等片挪至2021年上映。與其他電影公司相比,索尼確實是目前唯一一家堅守院線實體發行模式的電影公司。

啊,是的,全世界正在對抗數百年來最嚴重的病毒爆發,
美國正在內戰2的邊緣(但是沒有驚奇隊長或鋼鐵人能來救你)
同時也在跟中國冷戰,
但是顯然媒體以及眾多人們最在乎的還是各種名人八卦和腥羶色爭議,
有鑑於此,我想是時候來重新認識近年來最具爭議,
但是也最值得挖掘的MV,Kanye West的2016單曲-- Famous。
啊,是的,今天我又來探討偉大的媒體了,
暨《英格麗向西》、韓國瑜、脫歐之戰、以及《黑暗騎士:黎明昇起》的影片之後,
這部影片又要再一次地發揮超粒方「白天批判、晚上批判、假日批判」的精神了。
如果你還想要看到更多批判影片,首先別忘了訂閱以及按下小鈴鐺,
因為顯然無論標題再怎麼農場,Youtube就是不願意推薦這頻道的影片。
「為什麼你突然要講一部三年之前的MV?」你問,
是啊,好問題,要像This is America那樣跟風,我早就錯過時機了,
然而,這部當年撼動全美國的極爭議MV所傳達的訊息,
再現今可說是再適合不過了。
這不僅是肯伊對於自身名氣的反思內省,也諷刺著當今媒體圈以及觀眾的嗜血。
身為公眾人物,的確會帶來無可比擬的名氣和財富,
但是換來的,卻也是狗仔以及狂熱觀眾們無止盡的窺探,
以及那些竊笑、無名的酸民,
迫不及待等著你犯下任一個錯誤,瞬間將你碎屍萬段。
首先,在談論這部MV之前,先來介紹一下肯伊,
他從許久以前就是個充滿爭議的饒舌歌手,
無疑地極有才華,但是也著名的非常自傲,
不僅自稱為”Yeezus” (諧音耶穌Jesus),
也絲毫不吝嗇宣稱自己是當代最偉大的饒舌歌手,更是21世紀最偉大的藝術家。
”I am Warhol. I am the number one most impactful artist of our generation...I am Shakespeare...in the flesh.”
在肯伊眾多的驚世行徑和言論之中,最出名,最引起眾人關注的,
莫過於他與泰勒絲超過十年的世紀之仇。
有些人大概知道,這爭執源自2009年的音樂錄影帶大獎,
正在泰勒絲要上台領獎時,肯伊突然衝上台,搶走她的麥克風表示:
“Ima let you finish...”
當時泰勒年僅19歲,是個閃亮的新星,
所以肯伊理所當然地受到眾人攻擊,就連歐巴馬都說他是個機掰郎,
...如果連歐巴馬都說你是個機掰郎,你就知道你大概做錯什麼了。
當然,在一連串的訪談之後,他們過了不久就和好了,
直到2016,肯伊新發單曲Famous這首歌竟包含這段台詞:
“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous.”
大概不用我跟你說發生了什麼事,肯伊馬上又面臨了如紙片飛來的批評,
但是後續又出現了「驚人」的轉折,
那種會連續好幾周上頭條新聞的轉折,
肯伊的老婆金卡達珊揭露了肯伊與泰勒的電話錄影,
其中泰勒似乎認為肯伊「人很好」,這首歌很有趣,似乎是在給予祝福。
想當然耳,風向瞬間一轉,許多人都表示泰勒是一條虛偽狡猾的蛇,
你可能有注意到我剛剛強調了「似乎」這兩個字,
因為幾個月前真正的完整的電話紀錄才揭露了真相,還泰勒絲一個公道。
不過在當時最驚人、最爭議的是在這首歌的MV揭露,
其中有著全裸的泰勒絲蠟像躺在肯伊身旁,
以及旁邊另外十來位出名(或者更貼切是惡名昭彰)的人物。
究竟,這部MV的目的是什麼,讓我們從頭開始:
畫面開始於迷幻的夕陽,就這樣一路下降到陰暗的恐怖谷之中。
躺在床上的裸體,哪些是本人?哪些是化妝或是蠟像?
也許這一切都不重要,因位在媒體以及八卦的輪迴之下,
這些名人早已被去人性化,
一舉一動,一言一型,都成為了提供人們娛樂的人偶。
接著,在那段極具爭議性,直接開嗆泰勒的開場之後,就進入了肯伊常見的自大宣言:
For all the girls that got dick from Kanye West
If you see 'em in the streets give 'em Kanye's best
Why? They mad they ain't famous
They mad they still nameless
”
但是這並不是單純的比老二大賽而已,
在過了兩分鐘之後,這首MV忽然進入了最讓人困惑的橋段。
長達五分鐘無音樂的橋段,只剩下呼吸以及打呼聲,
配上這些名人赤裸的身軀以及臉龐,
泰勒、雷哈娜、川普、小布希、考斯比等,全都用幾近病態的特寫帶出來,
我們從沒看過如此私密的畫面,就像是個偷窺狂,甚至殺人犯,
悄聲無息地滑過這些熟睡的人,這不是我們該看到的畫面。
然而因為這些人是名人,是人們生活之中執迷的對象,
我們還是繼續觀賞。
但是與此同時,卻也感受到這些人的人性,甚至感到些許同情。
這其中出現的眾多人物時常面臨主流社會和媒體的抨擊,
但是在此處,他們一絲不掛地熟睡,
完全對我們這些窺視者以及外在的世界一無所知。
在此時此刻,這些幾乎不可觸及的人物,都展現了他們最脆弱的一面。
最後,鏡頭漸漸向上升起,揭露了一幅如夢境般的畫面,
這時已經不再是先前的低畫質、手持攝影機畫面,
而是充滿鮮豔色彩、近乎可說輝煌的景象。
床上沉睡中的人物,都成為了肯伊繪出的這幅畫之中的元素,
矛盾地同時帶著挑釁、煽情、平靜、以及無瑕的純潔。
更是在鏡頭最高點時,忽然看向鏡頭,彷若是在說:
「我知道,我知道你們都在看著我們」
所以,這一切究竟代表什麼?
最後全景的畫面明顯是在致敬文森特·德賽德里奧在2004年的畫作Sleep,
當時他就曾對於這幅畫表示:
「有些人認為這是性愛轟趴,但是這樣解讀是錯的,
這其實是在代表集體的睡眠-廣義來說是代表整個文化的沉睡,理智的沉睡」
也許這就是整個MV最受到忽略之處,
就如同我在韓國瑜現象那部影片開頭引用的紙牌屋台詞一樣,
「歡迎來到理性時代之死」
所謂理智的沉睡,甚至死亡,就是媒體,尤其是社群媒體所造成的集體盲目。
我們看的愈多,真「看見」的,反而愈少。
人們說肯伊是個狂人,但是對我來說,他是個天才,
他完全知道怎麼操弄這個嗜血的媒體生態,
他知道自己造成的所有爭議、失序的言行舉止,
極為逆風的言論、對於川普的強烈支持,
帶給他的,都是眼球
而越多眼球,就等於是越多錢錢。
我們時常聽到對於低素質媒體的抱怨,尤其是最近幾個禮拜,
但是卻非常少見到有人追根究底是什麼造就了低素質媒體?
是什麼,讓我們眼前所見,耳邊所聽的,都是無止盡的噪音?
不就是閱聽者本身嗎?
有需求才有供給,有了供給,就會有更多需求。
這些爭議的、這些聳動的、這些時常不道德的獨家腥聞,
會如此渲染就是因應觀眾們的嗜血口味,
當然,名人也因此嚐到甜頭,製造更多爭議,讓媒體加以報導,
形成了自給自足的血盆大口。
你有看過冰與火之歌嗎?
的確,混亂是一把階梯,讓那些抓緊機會的人能夠逐漸往上爬,
而這混亂的來源,是所有人都參與其中的。
我並不是在捍衛那些無良媒體,完全不是,我就直說了,
他們對於我們認識這個世界真的毫無價值。
但是,當一名公眾人物的隱私被爆出來時,
那些無良媒體只是在行使一個我們早已簽下多年的隱形合約而已,
這隱形合約充滿著腐敗、俗濫的氣息,
但是幾乎所有人都如飛蛾撲火地搶著將它納入自己的生活之中。
這合約,就是對於風潮、八卦、爭議的追求。
前陣子才在探討黑暗騎士系列之中,
提到人們對於能夠代表希望以及正義之象徵的追求。
不過事實上,現實世界之中更多的是小丑們,
似乎只想看到這些與眾不同的公眾人物
被揭發、羞辱,看見他們被拉到跟凡人一樣的程度,
看到他們跟我們一樣是有所缺陷的。
也許肯伊希望透過這MV來傳達的訊息,
就是我們不需要透過嗜血的啃食來證明這些名人只是凡人,
因為他們本來就是與常人無異的普通人,有著缺陷,有著弱點,
甚至在內心某處,還留著當初的自己。
藉由在畫面上呈現這些全裸名人的沉睡,
他剝去了他們被媒體套上的皇冠,
無論是令人退避三舍,還是令人目不轉睛的表層。
這些由他們自己所創造,由媒體所形塑的外皮,都在此處被褪去。
正因為有著「公眾人物」這樣的稱號,
並不代表這人沒有犯錯的權利,
並不代表這些人不能如凡人一般大聲地表達自己。
奇怪的是,在這媒體的循環之下,人們對於公眾人物的看法似乎飄搖不定,
有時候認為某人不該被放大檢視,
有時候卻因為某人的一句話不符合自己的觀點而大加撻伐。
也許我們都簽下了這隱形的合約,但是肯伊透過這部MV,
褪去了虛偽的外表,毫不留情地揭露所有人跟隨風潮的盲目。
也許你可以說這非常偽善,畢竟他自己也是這無盡輪迴的參與者,
不過他至少提醒了我們,在這理智的沉睡之中,
我們仍然有尋求一絲清醒的希望。
混亂的階梯也許永遠沒有終點,
但是有時候,攀爬本身,才是真實存在的。
又或許,這全都毫無意義,
一切只不過是另一個令人繼續沉迷、繼續追星的陷阱。
簡單粗暴的事實是,
有愈多人關注你的生活,無論這種關注是正面或負面,
你就能賣出愈多的鞋子/口紅/隨便你要賣什麼。
你知道最諷刺的是什麼嗎?
當年,肯伊在讓明星好友搶先看這支MV後,他們一致的反應都是:
「我也想躺在這床上」
你不需要這樣想像,因為我們早已在這張床上打滾許久了,
問題是,你要繼續沉睡,還是張開雙眼?
如果你想要我閉嘴不要繼續嫌演算法的話,麻煩訂閱一下按個小鈴鐺,
我會感激涕零地跟你磕頭。
如果你喜歡桌遊的話,也去看一下我的桌遊副頻道,裡面全都是你沒看過但是超好玩的遊戲。
留個言說一下你對這部MV的想法,我是超粒方,我們下部影片見!
