type='text'>麥迪遜電影與郊區光碟</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;這裡不是要談電影麥迪遜之橋，也不是時下媒體流行的「光碟」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我們是怎麼去看&lt;a href="http://www.helveticafilm.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Helvetica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;這部片的？我們是怎麼去聽很少人聽的冷門唱片的？&lt;br /&gt;正確地說：我們是怎麼找到並拿到一部DVD、一張CD的？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;+&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最近剛開這個 blog，調整字形令人非常煩躁不安，因為Google（其實想也知道）不提供個人在使用Mac以後最偏愛（也才終於有得用）的Helvetica Neue Light字形。煩歸煩，這也讓我想到&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Helvetica&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.helveticafilm.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;這部紀錄片。&lt;a href="http://www.helveticafilm.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;片子是很久以前看lukhnos的&lt;a href="http://lukhnos.org/blog/zh/archives/494"&gt;文章&lt;/a&gt;知道的。（至於Serif、San Serif諸多大小事，Helvetica、Ariel的愛恨情仇，則是拜lukhnos和眾多網路資源之賜才多少了解。）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;想看，就得找。上官網看到公告，DVD已經發行。Voila！這表示(1)可買(2)可借。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;到&lt;a href="http://www.chipublib.org/"&gt;市立圖書館&lt;/a&gt;預約，竟然全被借光了，要線上排隊。從沒聽說大學圖書館的影音資料可以外借（也以為不行----台灣的習慣），但抱著不妨嘗試的心態，竟然真的在&lt;a href="https://i-share.carli.illinois.edu/"&gt;這裡&lt;/a&gt;把依利諾州二十幾所公私立大專院校一次查過一番，在芝加哥市中心&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;麥迪遜&lt;/span&gt;街上一家從沒聽過的設計學院借到了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;借了&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Helvetica&lt;/span&gt;，便想到是否可以借借看找很久找不到的&lt;a href="http://www.ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/New_Series/1600/1652.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Die Kunst der Fuge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;。我在台北已經有了這張CD，不想多買，但要借，市立圖書館沒有。於是再去&lt;a href="https://i-share.carli.illinois.edu/"&gt;這裡&lt;/a&gt;查，不意外，依利諾州各連線大學也沒。再試另一個館際合作，這得從&lt;a href="http://www.oclc.org/"&gt;那裡&lt;/a&gt;連上常常塞車的&lt;a href="http://www.worldcat.org/"&gt;那個目錄&lt;/a&gt;去找。這次的&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Die Kunst der Fuge&lt;/span&gt;還算幸運，借得不很遠，來自芝加哥某富有郊區的「小」市立圖書館。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;+&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從借到收到館際合作的e-mail不到兩週（因為借出館近的關係），方才才去取了DVD與CD。敝大學校園很小，今天天氣也很好，所以雖然要等館際合作，但倒也蠻方便的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;+&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;自從上次透過館際合作，從馬里蘭州某大學借到書，基本上只要是英文出版品，還沒有找不到的，只有借不借得到、多久借到、哪裡借來的差別。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在這好一陣子了，有時還是會感慨這只是一個小小「工專」，全校藏書有限（一百萬本），研究用書非常依賴館際合作。不像以前在台灣時，大多數學術書從研究室走幾步路就在圖書館（三百萬本）直接架上拿。這裡的館際合作，依距離不定，得等上十天一個月才能取書。不過，學校財政困窘，恐怕也很無奈。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;比較意外的是連影音媒體也可以館際合作借到，這倒是開了眼界。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;平常想看通俗圖書、想看電影DVD、想聽音樂CD，通常我是上芝加哥市立圖書館去借。雖然只是市立圖書館，它可有著&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Public_Library"&gt;美國第六大、一千萬本藏書&lt;/a&gt;的規模，僅次於國會圖書館、紐約公立圖書館、波士頓公立圖書館、哈佛與耶魯。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不過，畢竟是公共圖書館，館藏偏向大眾口味。當然，館藏再大也是有限的。這裡雖然可以借到&lt;a href="http://www.chipublib.org/search/details/cn/2129918"&gt;王文華的《61x57》&lt;/a&gt;（別意外，我們有Chinatown），但像&lt;a href="http://www.chipublib.org/search/results/?searchType=Author&amp;amp;terms=edward+soja"&gt;Edward Soja這類書&lt;/a&gt;當然得碰運氣。一般需求有時也會找不到，或許這次我要的&lt;a href="http://www.ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/New_Series/1600/1652.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Die Kunst der Fuge&lt;/span&gt;版本&lt;/a&gt;實在太冷門了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;+&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不過，這次找東西，倒是有幾個發現。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. 敝大學的設計學院（工業商業視覺設計），傳承包浩斯正統，號稱芝加哥最強、全美前五，但學校圖書館裡頭竟然沒有&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Helvetica&lt;/span&gt;這部片，嗯，怪怪的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. 有錢的郊區果然真的有錢，不可小看這「小」圖書館，它可號稱藏書&lt;a href="http://www.nsls.info/roi/value.aspx?r=692&amp;amp;secret=0O2MIIIUB4"&gt;兩百多萬&lt;/a&gt;。相較台北市立圖書館的&lt;a href="http://www.tpml.edu.tw/TaipeiPublicLibrary/index.php?subsite=chinese&amp;amp;page=chinese-about-statistics-index.php"&gt;五百萬&lt;/a&gt;，其實沒啥好稀奇的。但想想這裡人口&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlington_Heights,_Illinois"&gt;不到八萬&lt;/a&gt;，台北市&lt;a href="http://www.taipei.gov.tw/cgi-bin/SM_theme?page=429abf5f"&gt;兩百六十萬&lt;/a&gt;人所擁有的資源會不會少了點？（&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Public_Library"&gt;芝加哥公共圖書館&lt;/a&gt;則是一千萬冊書服務兩百八十萬人。）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. 部落格編輯要練習一下才會順，特別是超連結。:P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div

term='Freizeit'/><title type='text'>囧男孩</title><content type='html'>&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;我注意到這部電影是前一陣子台灣片《海角七號》成為熱門話題的時候，在網路上四處逛一下看看相關新聞發現的。同時看到的電影訊息還有《九降風》，以及不少人講到台灣新一代電影已經不一樣了、脫離了（或可以不是）「那個」台灣新電影了、看到新曙光了......等等的評語。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;當然，人在國外，《&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://www.wretch.cc/blog/orzboyz/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;囧男孩&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;》電影我沒機會看到。但是特別注意到這部片還有一個原因，就是他的音樂。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;我相信製作團隊相當用心，當連到他們官方部落格的時候，背景冒出來的正是一段非常優美的節選電影配樂。我猜想，或許不少人會因為這個配樂就甘願入場看看吧。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;稍微查了一下，配樂是黃韻玲與鍾興民創作的，弦樂演奏則是北京的中國愛樂。作曲者一個赫赫有名，另一個完全沒概念。問了我太太才知道，他們其實已經是多年的合作班底了。部落格有張他們在工作室接受媒體訪問的照片，淺藍色水泥漆粉刷、鋁門窗與窗型冷氣機，陳舊木桌上還有個煙灰缸，看來完全是在台灣搞文化的小工作室如制服一般的自強牌標準會議室那樣。心中敬佩感油然而生，怎看都是搞革命的樣。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;音樂好聽，但可惜台灣的文化產品在國外實在非常難以取得。不得已只好利用P2P了。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;聽過整張CD，其實有點失望。這當然是想像與現實的落差。在tone調上其實部落格的選曲只是例外的一個片段。當然，因為電影劇情需要，調子差異很大的電影配樂其實很多。以1999年版的&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic; font-family: lucida grande;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thomas_Crown_Affair_%281999_film%29"&gt;The Thomas Crown Affair&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;為例，電影配樂銜接在一起聆聽感覺非常不連貫，但其實卻非常恰當地配合電影劇情起伏，就電影而論還是相當好的作品。我想不應該因為配樂銜接起來聽感覺如何就對電影妄下斷語吧。不過，調子差異之大，大到後來再聽，其他曲子就全都跳過了。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;另外，負責製作音樂的黃韻玲把自己旗下的新樂團「痞客四」一支單曲收進電影配樂。比較之下，不僅和其他音樂的差異實在太大，個人還以為，雖然英式搖滾的味道營造的相當不錯，但曲子本身普通而已。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;附帶一提，部落格所用的配樂片段已經被稍微縮減。部落格配樂其實是將那首曲子頭尾的樂段剪掉，剪出來的片段再前後對調，剪成循環播放。像是A-B-C-D，剪成C-B循環那樣。還不錯的巧思。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;有空希望可以看看這部片，但以這樣遙遠的距離，想必還要期待很久了。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;當然，另一個問題是，台灣的文化（商品或其他），其實是裡面看得到外面、外面看不到裡面的。在台灣要取得西方世界的文化訊息與在西方世界取得台灣的文化訊息，比較起來是相當不對等的。台灣可以算有相當程度國際化了。不過，其實世界很廣大，不過彈丸之地，如果沒有另生奧妙的話，要讓別人時時刻刻看得到、方便看到、願意看到，應該不容易吧。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;BR
