Thank you so much for the warm reaction to my announcement from the last video.

非常謝謝大家對我上次影片宣佈內容的熱烈迴響。

關係子句

If you haven't seen that video, I wrote a book of essays that'll be out this spring.

如果你還沒看過那支影片，我寫了一本散文集，今年春天就會出版。

It's available for pre order now and you can find the links in the description below.

現在已經開放預購了，連結都在下面的說明裡。

One of the things that makes film such an interesting art form is how it incorporates the other art forms.

電影之所以是一種這麼有趣的藝術形式，其中一個原因就是它會融入其他藝術形式。

For example, filmmakers for decades have used pre existing music in their movies, borrowing from and applying the emotional resonance of that music to enhance or color their story.

舉例來說，幾十年來，電影製作人一直在他們的電影中使用現有的音樂，借用並運用音樂的情感共鳴來增強或渲染他們的故事。

We know the debt movies owe to music, but what about the reverse?

我們知道電影對音樂的虧欠，但反過來呢？

Do movies give us any special insight into the music that they use?

電影會給我們任何關於它們所使用的音樂的特殊見解嗎？

If you watch a scene that relies heavily on music and pay attention to how that scene is making you feel, I think you can learn something important about the expressive potential potential of that piece of music.

如果你觀看一個非常依賴音樂的場景，並注意那個場景讓你產生什麼樣的感覺，我認為你就能學到一些關於那段音樂表現潛力的重要東西。

I mean, the filmmaker chose that song or composition because they believed it was capable of accomplishing something emotionally, even if it's not obvious.

我是說，電影製作人選擇那首歌或那段音樂，是因為他們相信它有能力在情感上達成某種效果，即使這點不是很明顯。

Ever listen to K. Billy's super sounds of the 70s?

你有沒有聽過 K. Billy 的「70 年代超級金曲」？

For example, here's Tarantino's famous use of Stuck in the Middle with you by Steelers Wheel in Reservoir Dogs.

舉例來說，這是昆汀·塔倫提諾在《霸道橫行》中，運用史提勒斯·威爾的《Stuck in the Middle with you》的著名橋段。

This is not the obvious choice for a torture scene.

這不是一個明顯的酷刑場景配樂選擇。

It's an upbeat, propulsive tune, but that complements Mr.

這是一首活潑、有推動力的曲子，但它卻能襯托出 Mr.

Blond's psychotic glee and provides a counterpoint to the grave situation.

Blond 那種精神錯亂的狂喜，並與嚴峻的局勢形成對比。

And then when you look at the lyrics, you find a paranoia lurking within this bubbly music.

然後當你看看歌詞，你會發現這首歡快的音樂裡潛藏著一種偏執。

The scene brings that undertone out in terrifying fashion.

這個場景以一種令人恐懼的方式，將那種潛藏的氛圍帶了出來。

But today I want to talk about Mozart, specifically Mozart's Requiem in D minor.

但今天我想聊聊莫札特，特別是莫札特的 D 小調安魂曲。

More specifically, the final movement of the third section of the Requiem, called Lacrimosa.

更具體來說，是安魂曲第三部分的最後樂章，叫做《Lacrimosa》。

This portion of Mozart's Requiem Mass is instantly familiar, and

莫札特安魂曲的這段旋律，大家一定很熟悉，

it's been used many, many, many times throughout cinema and television history.

而且在電影和電視史上，它被用了好多好多好多遍。

By looking at all these various uses, we can identify a range of resonances in the music, mapping out a unique emotional terrain.

透過檢視這些不同的用法，我們可以辨識出音樂裡各種共鳴，勾勒出獨特的情感地圖。

I don't want to say too much about the music because I want to hear what the movies have to say.

我不太想多說音樂本身，因為我希望大家從電影裡去感受。

But I should mention that a Requiem is a Mass for the dead.

不過我應該提一下，安魂曲是為逝者而做的彌撒。

This Requiem was the last thing Mo ever wrote or partially wrote.

這首安魂曲是莫札特最後寫下或部分寫下的作品。

He left it incomplete at the time of his death on December 5, 1791.

他在 1791 年 12 月 5 日過世時，這首曲子還沒完成。

In fact, it's believed that the first eight bars of the Lacrimosa are the final notes he ever committed to paper.

事實上，據信《Lacrimosa》的前八個小節，是他最後寫下的音符。

So we should probably expect some of these uses to have a somber, funereal quality.

所以我們大概可以預期，這些用法中有些會帶有莊嚴、哀悼的感覺。

Several filmmakers use the Lacrimosa in scenes that feature or suggest death, most notably in the movie about Mozart himself, 1984Amadeus, which lays the lacrimosa over Mozart's dead body, being unceremoniously transported and dumped into a mass grave.

有幾位電影製作人會在描寫或暗示死亡的場景中使用《Lacrimosa》，最顯著的例子就是關於莫札特的電影《阿瑪迪斯》，片中將《Lacrimosa》配在莫札特被草率地運送並丟入亂葬崗的遺體上。

In a number of instances, lacrimosa accompanies violent death, like the one in the traveler from 2010 that I showed earlier, or the Archbishop murder that sets 1996's primal fear in motion.

在許多情況下，《Lacrimosa》會伴隨暴力死亡出現，像是先前展示過的 2010 年電影《決戰異世界》中的場景，或是 1996 年電影《刺激驚爆點》中引發劇情發展的大主教謀殺案。

Or the massacre of the Mafia by the Phantom Troupe in the anime series Hunter X Hunter.

又或是動畫系列《獵人》中，幻影旅團屠殺黑幫的場景。

In all of these cases, there is a sense of both suspense and inevitability, which is a unique and potent combo.

在所有這些情況下，都同時帶有一種懸疑感和宿命感，這是一種獨特而強大的組合。

See, the ascending chord progression builds tension, but it also sets an expectation of what's to come.

你看，不斷上升的和絃進行會建立張力，同時也預示著接下來會發生什麼。

This makes the Lacrimosa perfect for scenes of foreboding, specifically historical foreboding, when we already know what's going to happen.

這使得《Lacrimosa》非常適合用於預示不祥的場景，特別是歷史上的預示，當我們已經知道會發生什麼事的時候。

This is how the Crown used it twice, first to set set up the Great Smog of London, then in a later episode, at the funeral of Prince Philip's sister Cecily.

這就是《王冠》兩次使用它的方式，第一次是為了鋪陳倫敦大霧霾，第二次則是在後來的集數中，用於菲利普親王妹妹西西莉的葬禮。

This scene, set in 1937, two years before the outbreak of World War II, is truly haunting.

這個場景設定在 1937 年，也就是二次世界大戰爆發前兩年，確實令人毛骨悚然。

It finds something sinister in the intensity of the music, and

它從音樂的強度中發現了某些不祥之處，並且

it uses that sense of expectation to fill us with dread about all the horrors to come.

利用這種預期感，讓我們對即將到來的種種恐怖感到不寒而慄。

This is not the only time Lacrimosa is used to augment evil.

這不是《Lacrimosa》唯一一次被用來烘托邪惡。

In the Watchmen TV series, the filmmakers associate the same menacing resonance with white supremacism.

在《守護者》影集裡，製作團隊將同樣不祥的共鳴與白人至上主義連結在一起。

Of course, these applications have an effect on the music in turn, and how we perceive it.

當然，這些應用反過來也會影響音樂，以及我們對它的感知。

The repeated association of Lacrimosa with evil conditions us to think of evil when we hear it, to the point that filmmakers choose it as a kind of shorthand drawing on our memories of its past uses.

《Lacrimosa》與邪惡反覆的連結，讓我們聽到時就聯想到邪惡，甚至到了製作團隊將它當成一種符號，利用我們對它過去使用的記憶。

Eventually, it becomes such a trope that it works brilliantly for parody and satire, too.

最終，它變成了一個如此常見的橋段，也是以非常適合用於模仿和諷刺。

In the Big Lebowski, for example, Jeffrey Lebowski is sitting solemnly in his study, staring deep into the fire as Lacrimosa plays the gravity of the scene, the song and Lebowski's speech is undercut by the Dude's aloofness.

例如，在《謀殺綠腳趾》中，傑佛瑞·勒保斯基莊重地坐在書房裡，凝視著火焰，《Lacrimosa》營造出場景的沉重感，但歌聲和勒保斯基的演講卻被「督爺」的超然態度給削弱了。

And the majestic melancholy of the song is one of the things that makes this scene so funny.

而這首歌莊嚴的憂鬱感，也是讓這個場景如此好笑的原因之一。

In an episode of the Good Fight, Lacrimosa amplifies the comedy of a scene in which the lawyers get their hands on Donald Trump's alleged pee tape, making it seem like the footage is the Holy Grail.

在《傲骨戰爭》的一集中，《Lacrimosa》放大了律師們拿到唐納·川普的疑似黃金錄影帶時場景的喜劇效果，讓這段影片看起來像是聖杯。

They're also borrowing Mozart's momentousness and its association with momentous moments in other media.

他們也借用了莫札特音樂的莊重感，以及它在其他媒體中與重大時刻的連結。

But as much as movies and TV have conditioned us to hear Lacrimosa in a certain way.

不過，電影和電視雖然讓我們習慣了以某種方式聆聽《Lacrimosa》。

I believe the source of our emotional reactions comes from the music itself, and

我相信我們情感反應的來源來自音樂本身，

the best applications of the composition don't use it as a shorthand.

而且這首曲子最棒的運用方式並不是把它當作一種簡寫。

In the TV series Hannibal, for example, the creators place the song against another figure of evil, but

例如，在影集《雙麵人魔》中，創作者將這首歌放在另一個邪惡角色身上，

in this scene they use it to evoke a sense of loneliness.

但在這個場景中，他們用它來喚起孤獨感。

In the 2021 movie Pig, it evokes desperation.

在 2021 年的電影《豬殺令》中，它喚起了絕望感。

And in 2018's Assassination Nation, after a hacker received scandalous pictures of an anti gay politician and post them online, Lacrimosa offers us a sense of reckoning and punishment, as well as the immense unruly power of the social Internet.

而在 2018 年的《殺神》中，在一位駭客收到一位反同性戀政治人物的醜聞照片並將其發布到網路上後，《Lacrimosa》為我們帶來了一種清算和懲罰的感覺，以及網路社群的巨大失控力量。

In the 2016 movie Divines, Lacrimosa underscores a montage.

在 2016 年的電影《神聖女孩》中，《Lacrimosa》為一個蒙太奇畫面做了鋪墊。

While Mozart probably wouldn't work for Rocky, he works perfectly here as the young lead character learns how to become a better drug dealer and petty criminal, improving at something that will benefit her in the short term but prove disastrous in the long run.

雖然莫札特可能不適合《洛基》，但他在這裡卻完美契合，因為年輕的主角學習如何成為一個更好的毒販和小型罪犯，在短期內對她有利，但最終卻會帶來災難。

Again, Lacrimosa is able to capture conflicting feelings of triumph and defeat.

再次強調，《Lacrimosa》能夠捕捉到勝利與失敗的矛盾情感。

But of all Lacrimosa's many uses, the most affecting is in the 1985 anti war film Come and See, at the end of perhaps the most harrowing cinematic experience imaginable about the Nazi occupation of Belarus.

但說到 Lacrimosa 的眾多用途，最動人的一幕出現在 1985 年的反戰電影《自己去看》結尾，描繪了納粹佔領白俄羅斯的經歷，堪稱影史上最令人心驚膽顫的體驗之一。

Seen through the eyes of a young Belarusian named Fliora, this teenager, who's just journeyed through a surreal landscape of horrors, sees a picture of Hitler on the ground and shoots at it in a fit of fury and revenge.

透過一位名叫 Fliora 的年輕白俄羅斯男孩的視角，這位剛剛經歷了超現實恐怖景象的少年，看到地上希特勒的照片，憤怒復仇地朝照片開槍。

As he does, clips of Hitler's life play out in reverse, ending on an image of him as a baby, which causes Flora to stop.

當他這麼做時，希特勒生平的片段倒轉播放，最後定格在他嬰兒時的模樣，這讓 Fliora 停了下來。

This is when the Lacrimosa begins to play.

The music brings up a startling multiplicity of feelings, accomplishing more than words ever could.

這音樂激發了驚人多樣的情感，其效果遠勝於言語。

In it, we hear Fliora's pain, his innocence shattered, his grief, his relief, his panic, his confusion.

在其中，我們聽見 Fliora 的痛苦、他破碎的純真、他的悲傷、他的釋然、他的恐慌、他的困惑。

We hear Hitler's hatred as well as the resilience of those who fought against him.

我們也聽見希特勒的仇恨，以及那些反抗他的人們的堅韌。

And we hear the radical empathy Fliora feels towards the baby Hitler, the feeling that finally separates him and all decent people from the monsters among us.

我們還聽見 Fliora 對希特勒嬰兒時期產生的極端同情，這種情感最終將他與所有正直的人們，與我們當中的怪物區分開來。

As well as all these other films and television shows teach us something about the Lacrimosa.

就像所有這些電影和電視節目一樣，它們都教會了我們關於 Lacrimosa 的一些東西。

They open up doors in the music that maybe even Mozart didn't see.

他們在音樂中開闢了莫札特可能都沒想到的可能性。

They bring art forms together, and in these collisions, it's possible to see some really beautiful sparks.

它們將各種藝術形式融合在一起，在這些碰撞中，可以看到一些非常美麗的火花。
