American Masters - Mae West: Dirty Blonde
director: Julia Marchesi / Sally Rosenthal actor: Jim Bailey / Gina Barreca
other title: 美国大师:梅·韦斯特 / 梅·韦斯特:金发荡妇
Mae West achieved great acclaim in every entertainment medium that existed during her lifetime, spanning eight decades of the 20th century. A full-time actress at seven, a vaudevillian at 14, a dancing sensation at 25, a Broadway playwright at 33, a silver screen ingénue at 40, a Vegas nightclub act at 62, a recording artist at 73, a camp icon at 85 - West left no format unconquered. She possessed creative and economic powers unheard of for a female entertainer in the 1930's and still rare today. Though she was a comedian, West grappled with some of the more complex social issues of the 20th century, including race and class tensions, and imbued even her most salacious plot lines with commentary about gender conformity, societal restrictions and what she perceived as moral hypocrisy. American Masters - Mae West: Dirty Blonde is the first major documentary film to explore West's life and career, as she "climbed the ladder of success rung by rung" to become a writer, performer and subversive agitator for social change. Produced and directed by Sally Rosenthal and Julia Marchesi.

柯尔波特是早期美国流行乐坛最著名的作曲家,从二十年代后期即已在娱乐圈崭露头角,在三十年代的"黄金时代"更有不少名曲出自他的手笔。然而波特的祖父一直不同意他走作曲家的路,甚至在波特成名后仍加以排斥。他在壮年的事业高峰期1937年坠马受伤,双腿不利于行,对他的身心造成甚大影响。幸而波特克服困扰,继续发挥其作曲才华,并扬名好莱坞。
无论是导演迈克尔.柯蒂兹的处理手法,或是卡里.格兰特的表演技巧,都只是平平而已。这部音乐传记片最值得欣赏的还是多位著名歌星密集亮相,演唱多首悦耳动听的插曲,让人了解到柯尔波特为何能够在美国乐坛大放异彩。2004年的影片《小可爱》讲述的也是这位音乐家的故事。
音乐家生平:
柯尔·波特于1891年6月9日出生在印第安纳州的秘鲁,他在很小的时候就接受了小提琴和钢琴的训练,在10岁的时候就写出了自己的第一首歌曲--《鸟儿之歌》(Song Of The Birds)。在1902年,他母亲帮助他出版了第一首作品"食米鸟华尔兹舞曲"(The Bobolink Waltz)。耶鲁大学毕业之后他到哈佛就读双休音乐与法律,因此可以说是理性与感性兼具的人。
他曾经到过巴黎音乐院、维也纳发展。在1919年,他同富有的社会名流琳达·李·托马斯(Linda Lee Thomas)结婚,琳达当时被公认为是世界上最有魅力的人之一。生活美满的波特开始将他的主要精力投入到音乐剧的创作上来。柯尔·波特总共创作了23部作品,但只有1948年的《吻我,凯特》(Kiss Me,Kate)称得上是经典之作,毕竟在音乐剧创作方面,佳作总是可遇而不可求的。一部好的音乐剧作品中可能会有好多首作品传世,也可能几部作品中也没有一首能让人回忆起来的作品,观众的喜好对于创作者来说,有时是很残酷的事情。
就在他的事业如日中天、正在巅峰的时候,波特迎来了生命中最大的挑战--1937年,他从一匹马身上坠落。他的腿被摔断,此后他接受了数不清的手术,最终还接受了截肢的残酷现实,直到他1964年逝世,疼痛和内心的痛苦一直伴随着他。
据说波特的晚年生活非常凄惨,在1958年的时候他被迫接受了截肢手术,从此之后他就过起了离群索居的生活。1960年耶鲁大学曾授予他名誉博士的荣誉,1964年他凄惨地在好莱坞逝世。
波特在旋律创作方面的天赋并不是出色的,但他对音乐的感觉,对音乐技巧的把握是同时代的其他人所无法比拟的。波特不仅给我们留下来一连串的动人的美妙歌曲,更为重要的是,他的名字代表了美国30年代的观点和态度。"柯尔·波特"是百老汇音乐剧在30年代的代名词,也给"雅致"这一表演风格下了个人化的定义。
