Look at Me: XXXTentacion
导演: 萨班·佛拉严 演员: XXXTentacion / Cleopatra Bernard
其它标题: Look at Me: XXXTentacion
Can and should we distinguish the artist from his actions? That’s probably the question many fans have asked themselves about XXXtentacion, the uncrowned king of emotional Soundcloud hip-hop. He could literally beat his girlfriend with one hand, while with the other hand on the phone he could connect deeply and sincerely with his fans about depression and suicidal thoughts. Janseh Onfroy himself barely managed to grow up to become one of the most streamed rappers of his generation before life in the fast lane came to an abrupt end at the age of 20. Through his own footage and conversations with the people around him, we learn how a life of childhood violence, substance abuse and bipolar disorder paved the tragic way for his success and his unforgivable behaviour.

剧情围绕纽约单身男子鲍比展开,他是个难以维系长期男女关系的单身男子,更无法承担婚姻的责任。他有10个朋友,是5对夫妇,他冷眼观察着这些朋友婚姻生活的点滴,得出婚姻是不幸的结论,而他自己却无法从三个女友的关系中理出头绪。全剧由多个独立故事组成,没有线性发展的关系,被鲍比35岁生日串联在一起。
  这天是纽约单身男子鲍比的35岁生日,他的朋友,5对夫妇来到他的公寓举办了一场生日晚会。这5对夫妇只认识鲍比,彼此之间不熟悉。他试图吹灭蜡烛,但是蜡烛火焰顽强的燃烧着。他许下空白心愿,他没想过结婚,他那些疯狂的已婚朋友让他见识到婚姻的不幸,他认为自己只需要朋友。接下来是一系列彼此并不相关的场景,鲍比和不同的夫妇探讨他们的婚姻。
  第一场,哈里(Harry)和莎拉(Sarah)夫妇。鲍比带着美食来到他们家,莎拉表示自己在节食,哈里在戒酒,但很快鲍比发现,莎拉偷吃了蛋糕而哈里偷喝了一杯酒。莎拉在学空手道,鲍比请她表演一下,结果她拿哈里做靶子,两人打闹起来。鲍比最年长,结婚最频繁的乔安娜告诉他,婚姻不过就是两个人一起做的小事。他问哈里是否后悔结婚,哈里表示婚姻让人懊恼也让人庆幸,它能改变你的生活。
  第二场,皮特(Peter)和苏珊(Susan)夫妇。他们婚姻美满,男才女貌十分般配,也十分恩爱。鲍比无心的和苏珊调情,并说如果哪天他们分手了,一定要第一个告诉他。于是他们说,你是第一个知道我们要离婚的人。
  第三场,简妮(Jenny)和大卫(David)夫妇。鲍比和他们一起抽大麻,三人十分高兴。简妮有着女强人性格,大卫性格软弱。大卫告诉鲍比,自己其实很有男子气概,只是不爱表露。简妮喋喋不休,但是实际上什么也没说。他们问鲍比为什么不结婚,鲍比告诉他们自己有三个女友,都爱他到发疯,他不知道该如何选择。鲍比离开他们家时,大卫悄悄告诉他,简妮说喜欢大卫的软弱,其实是为了让他高兴说的好话。
  每个人都想给鲍比物色妻子,每个男人都想要寻找一夜情的刺激。鲍比对自己的现状十分满意,他在寻找和等待一个集合他前几个女友所有优点的人。
  鲍比在中央公园的不同地方和三个女友见面。第一个是空姐爱普尔(April),她知道自己姿色平平,但并不自卑。她对一个男性朋友有了兴趣,十分高兴。鲍比和凯西在公园一个僻静的角落见面,因为她觉得这是喧嚣纽约中的世外桃源,就像她自己一样。鲍比告诉她,在他们初识时,他想过要跟她结婚,她也说的同样的话,他们很高兴彼此有意向结婚,这时凯西说她将要回老家结婚了,她不属于纽约,然后离去。第三个女友玛莎非常喜欢纽约市,她觉得这是整个宇宙的中心,她不断诉说着纽约不同区域的差别,已经如何从一个人的臀部看出他是不是土生土长的纽约人,鲍比被她的话吓着了。
  艾米(Amy)和保罗(Paul)同居多年,最近才准备结婚。但面对婚姻,艾米十分痛苦,在婚礼前一刻仍然在说不想结婚。保罗看到她在婚礼上发疯,同时想到自己是犹太人和她是天主教徒,于是决定不举行婚礼。离开了婚礼现场,作为伴郎的鲍比本来试图安慰艾米,最后却向她求婚。这个举动终于让艾米清醒过来,她追随保罗而去。
  故事回到鲍比的生日晚会上,他再次吹蜡烛,真心许愿希望和人结婚,获得一个平静而安逸的婚姻。
  鲍比吹灭了一半的蜡烛,他的朋友们交流起对他的看法。鲍比终于意识到每个人都有伴侣,而自己形单影只。他的朋友们为他担心,妻子们都认为他该找一个和自己一样的稳重女性,而不是他现在交往的那些随便的姑娘。他带爱普尔回家过夜,爱普尔觉得他家非常温馨,在床上,两人分享了过去约会中的趣闻然后做爱。第二天,爱普尔要登上去巴塞罗纳的飞机,鲍比像以前对其他姑娘一样,有口无心的请她不要走,告诉她自己多么喜欢她,而她竟然当真决定留下来,反让鲍比不知所措。
  鲍比带玛莎去拜访皮特和苏珊,他们已经离婚但是仍住在一起,他们对现状十分满意,既可以享受共同生活的乐趣,又不必承担婚姻的繁重责任。苏珊和玛莎一起做午饭,皮特问鲍比是否有过同性恋经历,鲍比默认,尽管皮特表示自己不是真正的同性恋,他还是认为如果不是社会约束,他可能会与鲍比有发展。对此,鲍比感到十分不舒服,绝对一笑了之。
  乔安娜和拉里带鲍比去夜总会,在拉里跳舞时,乔安娜大醉之后跟鲍比透露了许多前夫的事,当她发现别的女人试图勾引拉里时,当场大声吵闹。她嘲笑无所事事的女人们在婚姻中浪费生命的行经。但随即发现,自己不过也就是这样的女人,她比其他人更糟,明明自己就过着这种的生活,还成天指责他人。
  拉里并告诉罗伯特,也许自己就因为她如此放肆才爱她。拉里抽身结帐,乔安娜嘟囔着自己会照顾鲍比。他们离开了,鲍比回想起这段时间的经历,开始质疑朋友们,他们为什么要结婚?但是最终他发现自己和他们一样,尽管会面临痛苦,他仍然希望与人相伴。
回到演出开场的晚会上,朋友们等了两小时,鲍比仍然没有出现。随后他们纷纷祝愿他生日快乐,回家去了。鲍比终于回到家,微笑着吹灭蜡烛。

一星期之後安娜在火車站上重遇弗朗斯基,("Snowstorm Scene")並得知他特意跟蹤她,便將他斥退。回到家裡她見回其較年老的丈夫卡列連和兒子沙俄札,卻有一股失落。("Nothing Has Changed")干斯坦丁回到自己的地方發誓忘掉姬蒂,("I Shall Work")姬蒂另一邊廂卻後悔了。("How Many Men?")另一邊廂安娜卻屢次在社交場合上遇上弗朗斯基,並對之漸產好感。("We Were Dancing")卡倫連和安娜的關係轉差,("Karenin's List")在一次鬧翻之後安娜憤而去到弗朗斯基的公寓,並跟之表達愛意。("Waiting For You")

過了幾個月之後,安娜已經懷孕,卻因不想離開兒子而留在卡倫連家裡。終於他們幽會被早已知情的卡倫連撞破,("This Can't Go On")最終他決定跟安娜離婚。史提化去探訪干斯坦丁,並告訴他姬蒂依然未有人追求得手,暗示他再次求婚,干斯坦丁卻不為所動("That Will Serve Her Right")。在意大利安娜生下了安妮,卻對沙俄札思念日增,而她亦感到弗朗斯基開始對她感厭倦。("Everything's FIne")回到莫斯科,干斯坦丁結果還是去了向姬蒂求婚,而這次她終於答應了。("Would You? Reprise")

姬蒂把消息知會安娜,("I Never Dreamed")這使她更為低落。沙俄札十歲生日那一天安娜回去發現一個比以前態度軟化的卡倫連,("Only at Night")然而他不肯放棄兒子的撫養權,更說服了安娜沙俄札跟著她一定不會比留在俄羅斯好。安娜回到火車站上,充滿哀傷,("Finale")有了決定的她臨死前再次想起沙俄札("Seryozha"),然後在火車快要到站時她縱身一躍......最後弗朗斯基在自願踏上不歸的戰士旅途前跟史提化道別,("Epilogue")相對應的,則是干斯坦丁和已懷孕的姬蒂的幸福場面。

A great terrace in the Palace of Herod, set above the banqueting hall. Some soldiers are leaning over the balcony. To the right there is a gigantic staircase, to the left, at the back, an old cistern surrounded by a wall of green bronze. The moon is shining very brightly.
Narraboth gazes from a terrace in Herod's palace into the banquet hall at the beautiful Princess Salome; he is in love with her, and apotheosizes her, much to the disgusted fearfulness of the Page of Herodias. The voice of the Prophet Jochanaan is heard from his prison in the palace cistern; Herod fears him and has ordered that no one should contact him, including Jerusalem's High Priest.
Tired of the feast and its guests, Salome flees to the terrace. When she hears Jochanaan cursing her mother (Herodias), Salome's curiosity is piqued. The palace guards will not honor her petulant orders to fetch Jochanaan for her, so she teasingly works on Narraboth to bring Jochanaan before her. Despite the orders he has received from Herod, Narraboth finally gives in after she promises to smile at him.
Jochanaan emerges from the cistern and shouts prophecies regarding Herod and Herodias that no one understands, except Salome when the Prophet refers to her mother. Upon seeing Jochanaan, Salome is filled with an overwhelming desire for him, praising his white skin and asking to touch it, but he rejects her. She then praises his black hair, again asking to touch it, but is rejected once more. She finally begs for a kiss from Jochanaan's lips, and Narraboth, who cannot bear to hear this, kills himself. As Jochanaan is returned to the well, he preaches salvation through the Messiah.
Herod enters, followed by his wife and court. He slips in Narraboth's blood and starts hallucinating. He hears the beating of wings. Despite Herodias' objections, Herod stares lustfully at Salome, who rejects him. Jochanaan harasses Herodias from the well, calling her incestuous marriage to Herod sinful. She demands that Herod silence him. Herod refuses, and she mocks his fear. Five Jews argue concerning the nature of God. Two Nazarenes tell of Christ's miracles; at one point they bring up the raising of Jairus' daughter from the dead, which Herod finds frightening.
Herod asks for Salome to eat with him, drink with him; indolently, she twice refuses, saying she is not hungry or thirsty. Herod then begs Salome to dance for him, Tanz für mich, Salome, though her mother objects. He promises to reward her with her heart's desire – even if it were one half of his kingdom.
After Salome inquires into his promise, and he swears to honor it, she prepares for the "Dance of the Seven Veils". This dance, very oriental in orchestration, has her slowly removing her seven veils, until she lies naked at his feet. Salome then demands the head of the prophet on a silver platter. Her mother cackles in pleasure. Herod tries to dissuade her with offers of jewels, peacocks, and the sacred veil of the Temple. Salome remains firm in her demand for Jochanaan's head, forcing Herod to accede to her demands. After a desperate monologue by Salome, an executioner emerges from the well and delivers the severed head as she requested.
Salome now declares her love for the severed head, caressing it and kissing the prophet's dead lips passionately. Horrified, Herod orders his soldiers, "Kill that woman!" They rush forward and crush Salome under their shields.
