しつこいのがお好き
レジデンス5ヶ月と14日目
昨日は日曜日。
久しぶりにゆっくりDVDでもみようと、ライクスのライブラリーで借りておいた「グッバイ・レーニン!」(3度目)のDVDケースを開けたら、その中に、クリント・イーストウッド主演の「El bueno, el malo y el feo」というDVDが一緒に入っていました。カウボーイハットをかぶった若いイーストウッドがDVDの表面にプリントされています。前に借りた誰かが間違えて一緒に入れて返しちゃったんだろうなと思いながら、台詞も字幕もイタリア語とスペイン語しかない(から台詞はわからない)このDVDを見始めました。
マカロニ・ウエスタンには疎い私でも聞いたことのある主題曲だったので、きっと有名なやつねと思いながら画面を追い始めたら、予想以上に盛りだくさんな気の抜けない展開で、ラストの3つ巴は手に汗握ったわ〜。こういう、予想を覆すほど盛るという作り手の姿勢は勉強になりました。「太陽を盗んだ男」や「ターミネータ−2」を見たときも、この「よくぞここまでしつこくやってくれた」っていう感動があったわ。
このイーストウッドの混入DVDの英題は「The Good, The Bad And The Ugly」、邦題だと「続・夕陽のガンマン/地獄の決闘」だそうです。地獄の決闘。地獄の決闘。(しつこさを反芻中。)
もちろん「グッバイ・レーニン!」(台詞はドイツ語、字幕はオランダ語かフランス語。オイ!わかんないっつーの!!でもみるの3度目だから大丈夫。)も最高でした。アレックスの最後のビデオ放送のシーンではまた泣けたわ。見てない人は見てね。

Some Like It 'More than Enough'
I borrowed the DVD Good Bye Lenin! (my third time) from the library at Rjiks on Friday. I thought about watching it yesterday (Sunday) and opened the case, where I found Good Bye Lenin! and another DVD, El bueno, el malo y el feo starring Clint Eastwood. Young Eastwood with a cowboy hat is printed on DVD. Ah, someone might have returned it together by mistake... I started to watch it, although both the sound and the subtitles are only in Italian and Spanish (so I don’t understand what they are saying at all).
I don’t know much about Spaghetti Western; but even I have heard the theme song. This must be a really famous one... I was gradually drawn to the story – it was far more complicated and exciting plot than I expected. My heart raced with excitement at the final scene of the three-way struggle...! What I learned from this film was the filmmaker’s persistency? importunity? to excite the audience again and again, episode after episode. I experienced the same excitement when I watched Terminator II and The Man who Stole the Sun – kind of ‘well done, well done, it was more than enough...!’
The English title of this film was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly ... The good, the bad and the ugly, the good, the bad and the ugly, the good... (did you get the sense of 'more than enough'?)
Not to mention, Good Bye Lenin! was fabulous (spoken in German, with French or Dutch subtitles... hey, how can I understand it!? But it’s OK. This is my third time). Again, the final scene with Alex made me cry... if you have not seen it yet, it is a must!
