(這句損Ringo的台詞很好笑!)
最近閒來無事,想說瀏覽一下影片,沒想到看到這部1965出品的披頭四電影-----Help!,嚇了我一大
跳,我都不知道披頭四有拍過電影(你不知道的事很多!),Help!這部片大致上描述一位異教派的胖
嘟嘟國王完正要成宗教儀式時,發現儀式所需要的紅寶石戒指不見了,結果不知為何,披頭四成員
中的鼓手Ringo Starrg收到粉絲的來信中居然有該戒指,所以呆呆的Ringo就戴上了,國王得知後
便立刻展開"追殺披頭四"的行動,但是途中善心的皇后一直幫助他們逃離國王的追捕,(代表他們
婚姻可能有問題!),而他們則是到處尋求專家的幫忙,希望能把Ringo的戒指從手上拔除,但是那
顆紅寶石戒指很喜歡Ringo的手指,所以怎麼樣都無法拔掉,結果他們就這樣跑來跑去,一邊錄製
音樂一邊躲避追殺,
Help!這部片算是喜劇,片中常常會穿插一些詼諧的畫面,雖然沒有到讓人捧腹大笑,但我想應該
有讓人會心一笑,電影導演Richard Lester為披頭四量身打造了兩部電影,第一部是A Hard Day's
Night,大獲好評,於是就繼續拍了,第二部就是Help! 而他們也隨後出了同名專輯,將片中配樂收錄
其中.
其實在看這部電影的時候,有些時刻我都會覺得:天啊! 我在看MV嗎?因為他拍攝的手法真的很
類似MV,片中他們常常一邊演唱一邊駐足在各風景點,雖然劇情普普但是Help!這種拍攝手
法卻深深地影響後代音樂錄影帶的風格
片中的兩首主題曲 Ticket to Ride和Help 都是約翰藍儂寫的,是當時他們的主打歌曲,不僅橫掃各大流行音樂
排行榜更讓他們成為廣大少年們的偶像,與當時其他流行歌來比,他們的作品算是比重金屬風格了,經典就是經
典,雖然經過這麼多年了,依然覺得相當好聽,而且有種那時代的氛圍,律動和青春無敵的感覺
Ticket to Ride
I think I'm gonna be sad, I think it's today, yeah.
The girl that's driving me mad is going away.
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care.
She said that living with me is bringing her down yeah.
For she would never be free when I was around.
She's got a ticket to ride,
But she don't care.
I don't know why she's ridin' so high,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.
Before she gets to saying goodbye,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.
My baby don't care, my baby don't care.
Help
Help, I need somebody
Help, not just anybody
Help, you know I need someone, help
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me, get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh
