非常耐人尋味的一段過程:乘著小船,順著河水流下去,說故事的人不能先知道結局,必須作為一個故事的體驗者與接受者,溫德斯形容這是一場冒險,是說一個故事最好的狀態。美墨邊境的沙漠裡,那頂紅色帽子鮮明依舊,指彈吉他撩撥而出,溫德斯的電影,像詩一樣美。

這幾年,溫德斯在拍攝Edward Hopper傳記電影時,你看到他那種緊繃、焦躁以及痛苦的表情,以及他給攝製組的壓力(在他大吼大叫之後,原本會拍電影的工作人員都給嚇到不會拍了),可以想見他墮入了一種陷阱,攝影指導的面容是無奈的。但稍後紀錄片中我們看見已經過世的傳奇攝影指導Robby Müller(巴黎德州、雲端上的情慾)所表示:他從不給我們壓力,他與溫德斯是搭擋...是兄弟。 他們倆創造了大部分溫德斯的美麗電影。 因為這部紀錄片我才知道在偉大的《巴黎德州》前,溫德斯在美國適應不良拍了《神探亨密特》:美國人不准他用歐洲公路電影創作的方式進到美國的製作體系。接著《事物的狀態》是對這段痛苦經驗的反擊。 終於,在一無所有的狀態下,無路可退,不能就此回德國。拍到最後沒錢可用,溫德斯用他在歐洲拍攝的製作模式完成了顛峰之作《巴黎德州》。 正如柯波拉說的:他(溫德斯)從另一個文化來,我喜歡他的《美國朋友》 溫德斯畢竟不是美國電影人,他是一個歐洲知識分子。 溫德斯在巴黎德州於坎城影展獲獎後,他這麼想:這不是美國電影,這是一個熱愛美國的歐洲人所拍的電影。 現在,溫德斯喜歡拍紀錄片,他說道:我喜歡紀錄片,因為我可以照我自己的想法發展故事。 而今天拍攝電影,你不能被允許變動事先做好的計畫。
1:32:15 此處的歷史時序得先交代清楚:《巴黎,德州》的製作開始於1983,但《美國朋友》(1977)、《神探漢密特》(1982)、《事物的狀態》(1982)皆早於此。《神探漢密特》與《事物的狀態》常被視為溫德斯來到美國電影業後因「水土不服」而生,但也需要注意,在《事物的狀態》最後,象徵溫德斯本人與製片人柯波拉的人物是雙雙斃命─來到80年代,好萊屋新電影(New Hollywood)的美好時光差不多也就結束了,柯波拉自己的黃金年代在《現代啟示錄》拍完之後實質上已結束,倒是溫德斯自己經歷了這段折磨,有了個向死回生的結局,因為《巴黎,德州》的製作條件與主題,皆將對他若即若離的美國神話再造且提升了一遍。
40:34 如何理解荷索這段話?很有趣的,荷索和溫德斯、斯特勞布-于耶夫婦(Straub–Huillet)、沃夫岡彼得森(Wolfgang Petersen)雖被視為響應德國影壇知名的奧本豪森宣言(Oberhausen Manifesto)的一代,但發起奧本豪森宣言的26人團隊中並無他們任何一人,而前述幾人,荷索與溫德斯日後的取材與資源已然不需要奧本豪森宣言背書,斯特勞布-于耶夫婦的方法論與精神更像標誌著他們法國新浪潮逃兵的身分,近日才過世的沃夫岡彼得森則直接與美國商業電影接軌。考慮到任何電影運動內在的分裂可能,荷索這番發言不免也讓人設想與德國本土關係更密切的法斯賓德、亞歷山大‧克魯格(Alexander Kluge)等影人會作何應對。

Since childhood, I’ve often dreamed of being on the move—traveling along roads, crossing landscapes. Over time, I developed a habit of noticing similar scenes in films and documentaries. As long as we keep moving, stories and encounters will unfold naturally. Things begin to get interesting—or not. Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going? These questions hover around us like ghosts, always present. This playlist is dedicated to all travelers on Giloo. You don’t need to pack anything. Just hit the road. It’s time to go—Are you coming?
