看电影很少流泪,但这部影片让我会有偶发的悲凉感:Lorreta年纪那么小就得一个接一个地生养孩子,家境还那么差,若不是天赋异禀,这得有多难。
直到今天,美国多个州女孩的法定结婚年龄都可以低至13岁,只要监护人同意。 这是人权至上的美利坚?荒谬至极。
这部电影对于人物传记而言挺粗糙,而且相当”政治不正确”——新婚就被丈夫家暴,丈夫吃软饭出轨还不离婚——但还是非常喜欢。
小时候一直看《小木屋》系列,所以对于美国乡村生活很感兴趣,影片开头的矿工家庭生活写实、丰富,大部分是苦,但偶尔的漂亮长裙,是一滴甘甜。 这让我恍然记起,虽然并不算多,但有史以来绝对数量的人类能过上富足生活的时间,是有多短暂。 影片叙事手法平直,质朴无华(里面的演员甚至都有一口黄牙,符合战前美国牙齿保健没有大行其道的年代),选材偏窄偏浅,跳跃,而且肯定有大面积美化,因为想想就知道,他们纠结的夫妻关系并没有影片中这么的轻描淡写。 不管怎样,Lorreta还是跟慧眼独具的丈夫一直走到了今天,而如果他们是当今的年轻人,大概率已离婚上百次。 我觉得他们这种共生的婚姻关系,超越了普遍意义上的伴侣关系,是亲情友情爱情的混合体。 虽不完美,但很有韧性,足以支撑他们克服琐屑日常的各种龃龉—— 你是我的空气我是你的水,平凡平淡却不可或缺。 没想到汤米李琼斯年轻时魅力非凡,惊喜。 看到Lorreta自然会联想起Dolly Parton,这位我更熟悉的乡村歌后,她也是年纪轻轻就结了婚,也是一直坚持到现在,不过在这段婚姻里,是她而不是他,跟其他巨星绯闻不断。 很多年前,记得这位身材娇小胸部伟大的歌后在采访时说:”我巡回演出,他在家做木工活就很自在。我们没有孩子,他把我当孩子宠——给我放泡泡浴,我跟他说些孩子气的话。” 婚姻它有千百种形态,别强求,其实到处都是标准答案。
受到影片《火柴厂女工》和片名中“女儿”的刻板影响,以为这是一部现实主义比较晦涩的作品,或者是动画片之类,又因为没有英文字幕,在自己的影片池里耽搁了很久才拿出来看。没想到是这么令人愉悦的电影。
淳朴动听的乡村歌曲能把人瞬间带到大学生时代,Loretta很容易流露出自然纯真的笑容。Doolittle Lynn一开始就有老牛吃嫩草之嫌,行为举止犹如不靠谱的花花公子,结婚第二天就打破自己的誓言,扇了Loretta一个耳光~他们的婚姻竟然生产了四个孩子,Loretta十八岁就成了四个孩子的妈妈,她为他们唱歌,Doolittle喜欢她的歌声,送了她一把吉他作为生日礼物,因此也挖掘出她唱歌的天赋。
他们灌制了单曲,把孩子托付给妈妈,开着车四处拜访录音室,几近破产,终于在一次偶然的机会录音室播放了Loretta的创作单曲【I'm a Honky Tonk Girl 】,首度打进排行获得了第十四名,开启了她歌唱的职业生涯。
去翻一翻Loretta的生平和歌唱生涯,发现精彩远不止此
Wine, Women and Song
Well, I'm at home a workin' and a slavin' this way
You're out of misbehavin' spendin' all of your pay
On wine, women and song
While I'm a makin' bed, you're out a makin' time
You robbed my piggy bank and spent my last thin dime
On wine, women and song
Well one of these nights you gonna come home
You find it's comin' on to you
You see what you've done and what's good for one
It's also good for two
When you in the doghouse with the mingy old pup
You may start to thinkin' and a givin' up
Your wine, women and song
Well one of these nights you gonna come home
You find it's comin' on to you
You see what you've done and what's good for one
It's also good for two
When you in the doghouse with the mingy old pup
You may start to thinkin' and a givin' up
Your wine, women and song
The Home You're Tearin' Down
I don't know your name I wouldn't know your face But you're right with the one I love out there someplace You have an invitation be free to come around Come over anytime and see the home you're tearin' down
Once some happy faces would have met you at the door But since their daddy's gone so much they don't smile anymore There's shattered parts of broken hearts just scattered all around Come over anytime and see the home you're tearin' down [ Steel ] I'll dry all my tears and have the coffee hot
Cause I can't sleep a wink no more time's all I've got You see the price I'm payin' for happiness you've found Come over anytime and see the home you're tearin' down
You've told how much you loved him you can surely tell me too I'd like to know just what you've done to make him turn to you I swallow pride and hear you sigh if you'll just come around Come over anytime and see the home you're tearin' down
Dear Uncle Sam

My darlin answered when He got that call from you. You said you really need him But you don't need him like I do.
Don't misunderstand I know he's fighting for our land I really love my country But I also love my man. He proudly wears the colors Of the ole red, white, and blue While I wear a heartache Since he left me for you.

Don't Come Home A – Drinkin
Well you thought I'd be waitin' up
When you came home last night
You'd been out with all the boys
And you ended up half tight
But liquor and love
They just don't mix
Leave the bottle or me behind
And don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
Just stay out there on the town
And see what you can find
'Cause if you want that kind of love
Well ya don't need none of mine
So don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
You never take me anywhere
Because you're always gone
And many a night I've laid awake
And cried here all alone
Then you come in, a kissin' on me
It happens every time
No don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
No, don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind

So don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind
No don't come home a drinkin'
With lovin' on your mind

You want me to prove my love for you
I'm surprised that's the way you're askin' me to

Two Mules Pull This Wagon
Well you come home most every night as grouchy as can be
And start right in a pickin' on our little kids and me
I'm sick and tired of hearin' are you worth keep you a trigon
Cause you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon
Yeah two mules pull this wagon you don't do it by yourself
I know you've got a heavy load but it give you lots of hell
I do my share of pullin' and I don't mean to be bridled
But you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon
[ guitar - steel ]
Well I guess you think while you're at work I sit and watch TV
But you'd learn different honey if you'd spent one day with me
I'm washin' ironin' cookin' so and find out for your nigher
But you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon
Yeah two mules pull this wagon...
Yeah you seem to forget big boy that two mules pull this wagon
Your Squaw Is on the Warpath
洛丽塔在这首歌中说,你正在喝的那火水,使你觉得自己大了很多,但是酋长,你实在是反而倒缩了。
Well, your pet name for me is Squaw
When you come home a drinkin' and can barely crawl
And all that lovin' on me won't make things right
Well, you leave me at home to keep the teepee clean
Six papooses to break and when wean
Well, your squaw is on the warpath tonight.
Well, I've found out a big brave chief
The game you're a huntin' for ain't beef
Get off of my huntin' grounds and get out of my sight
This war dance I'm doin' means I'm fightin' mad
You need no more of what you've already had
Your squaw is on the warpath tonight.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, that fire-water that you've been drinking
Makes you feel bigger but chief you're shrinking
Since you've been on that love making diet
Now don't hand me that ole peace pipe
There ain't no pipe can settle this fight
Your squaw is on the warpath tonight.
Well, I've found out a big brave chief
The game you're a huntin' for ain't beef
Get off of my huntin' grounds and get out of my sight
This war dance I'm doin' means I'm fightin' mad
You need no more of what you've already had
Your squaw is on the warpath tonight.
Yeah, your squaw is on the warpath tonight...
Rated "X"
Well, if you've been a married woman
And things didn't seem to work out
Divorce is the key to bein' loose and free
So you're gonna be talked about.
Everybody knows that you've loved once
So they think you'll love again
You can't have a male friend
When you're a has been
Of a woman you're rated X.
And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal
Every man might try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
If a cheap camera makes a mistake.
And when your best friend's husband says to you
You've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would
And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, nobody knows where you're goin'
But they sure know where you've been
All their thinkin' of is your experience of love
Their minds eat up with sin.
The women all look at you like you're bad
And the men all hope you are
But if you go too far you're gonna wear the scar
Of a woman rated X.
And if you're rated X you're some kind of goal
Every man might try to make
But I think it's wrong to judge every picture
If a cheap camera makes a mistake.
And when your best friend's husband says to you
You've sure started lookin' good
You should've known he would
And he would if he could and he will if you're rated X
They Don't Make 'Em Like My Daddy
I wasn't much more than a baby, I thought he was a bear
The way my daddy carried me around
They said I learned to walk while holdin' on to just one finger
On the hand of a man that stands at six-foot-three.
Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression
Just something people talked about a lot
My daddy wasn't one that tried to make no big impressions
Just one heck of a man that worked for what he got.
They don't make men like my daddy anymore
Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years
In a great big land of freedom at a time we really need 'em
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore.
--- Instrumental ---
From the Johnson County coal camps to the hills of West Virginia
My daddy hauled the timber for the mines
Education didn't count so much as what you had born in you
Like the will to live and a dream of better times.
Daddy never took a handout, we ate pinto beans and bacon
But he worked to keep the wolf back from the door
And it only proves one thing to me when folks start belly achin'
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore.
They don't make men like my daddy anymore
Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years
In a great big land of freedom at a time we really need 'em
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore.
They don't make 'em like my daddy anymore...
Women's Prison
I'm in a women's prison with bars all around
I caught my darlin cheatin that's when I shot him down
I caught him in a honky-tonk with a girl I used to know
The door to my cell is open wide and a voice cries out oh no
The judge says I'm guilty my sentence is to die
I know I've been forgiven but the price of love is high
The crowd outside is screamin' let the murderer die
But above all their voices I
can hear my mama cry
I'm sittin' here on death row and Lord I've lost my mind
For love I've killed my darlin and for love I'll lose my life
I can hear the warden coming
From the clinging of his keys
But when they come to get me
He'll have to drag me off my kness
The door to my cell swings open
It's time for me to go
The priest is reading my last rights
He says dying's part of livin' ya know
And there's a crowd outside screamin' let that murderer fry
But above all their voices
You can hear my mama cry
Now they've strapped me in the chair
And covered up my eyes
And the last voice I hear on Earth
Is my mama's cry
