艾美獎頒獎了！
今年無奈採取完全線上頒獎典禮
主持人努力搞笑
也頒發出戲劇類最佳影集《繼承之戰》

我私心期待的是 Westworld 得最佳男女配角
可惜沒有！

還是來跟大家介紹一下
這部精彩的科幻作品
《西方極樂園》 Westworld

-

你或許熟悉專拍燒腦電影的導演 #諾蘭
喜歡鑽研《#全面啟動》和《#天能》
但你認識他的天才編劇弟弟嗎？

#強納森諾蘭 曾跟導演哥哥合作
編寫《#星際效應》和《#頂尖對決》
以及《#黑暗騎士三部曲》等賣座大片
近幾年更主創神劇《#西方極樂園》
入圍並榮獲多項電視大獎

《西方極樂園》現已演到第三季
也是本「英文」學習單元
終於第一次介紹「英語」影集！😂

以下就來看 Westworld
《西方極樂園》故事摘要：

A sci-fi drama set in an Old West theme park where guests interact with automatons in scenarios that are developed, overseen and scripted by the park's creative, security and quality assurance departments.

The park caters to high-paying guests who may indulge their wildest fantasies within the park without fear of retaliation from the android hosts, who are prevented by their programming from harming humans.

本科幻劇背景設在一座西部時代主題樂園裡，遊客能在由樂園創意部所研發、安全部所監控、品管部所編寫的情境中跟機器人互動。

樂園迎合鉅額消費的遊客，他們可在樂園裡放縱自己最狂野的幻想，而不必怕機器接待員報復，因為他們的程式不允許他們傷害人類。

-

《西方極樂園》其實改編自電影
原作編導Michael Crichton
就是《#侏儸紀公園》的作者

同樣都是科幻的主題樂園 theme park
不過將侏羅紀改成美國西部時代
也把恐龍換成了仿生人 android
一旦機器發展出知覺 sentience
人類終將面臨機器人的反叛 revolt

如同貫穿第一季的關鍵台詞
出自 #莎士比亞 的經典名著
《#羅密歐與茱麗葉》：

"These violent delights will have violent ends."
「狂暴的歡愉，將有狂暴的終結。」

-

本劇圍繞著人工智慧和機器人的主題
其實英文有很多單字稱呼機器人

像是大家熟悉的 robot
是指模仿人類的機器
bot 則是自動程式
例如聊天機器人 chatbot

機器人也可叫 android
又被翻成仿生人，可簡稱 droid
另外還有 humanoid
指人形機器人或似人的生物
以及自動機械裝置 automaton

-

再來看看其他劇中重要單字：

-dissonant: 脫序；不和諧的。反義詞是「共鳴」resonant
-enlightened:（對人生在世的真諦）徹悟的，覺悟的，看透的
-host: 接待員；（宴客的）主人；主持人
-narrative: 劇情，敘事。敘事者或旁白則是 narrator
-orientation: 導覽，環境介紹
-reverie: 幻想，夢想；白日夢（pleasant dream-like thoughts）
-role play: 角色扮演
-sentient: 有知覺力的；有感覺力的（able to experience feelings）

-

本劇真的很有諾蘭兄弟的風格
每集發展出乎意料、令人欲罷不能
一層一層不斷揭露更多轉折爆點

故事也像極了 #莊周夢蝶
究竟是仿生人活在人類造的世界裡
還是人類活在仿生人造的世界裡？

我們所存在的世界
會不會也是經過精心設計的樂園呢？

Good Night （晚安）

👇中文版本在英文下👇

This song’s about 3 months’ old. I posted a few weeks ago that I recorded a new song I’d written for a TV show theme song. Good Night is actually the song I wrote for that TV show, but they chose a different song of mine instead.

The show has quite a dark theme, so the song’s verse is quite dissonant and menacing. I tried to imagine what happens when an evil person dies - do fallen angels take him down to Hell? If so, why would a truly evil person be punished there? More likely the demons would enjoy his company and appreciate his wrongdoings, but also mourn his passing because he cannot continue doing terrible things on Earth.

What makes someone become a monster – is it intrinsic, or created behaviour? Do they know what they are doing is wrong and try to stop themselves, is it uncontrollable? If so, do they regret what they do, do they hate themselves for it? If so, then they are also victims, and death may be a relief to them. So the chorus lyrics are about a descent into Hell, but they also represent relief of worldly pain, hence the lighter melody.

I then started thinking about forgiveness - if Christianity says anyone is capable of redemption, then why can’t an evil person love and be loved? I tried to represent this by putting a dissonant verse melody and notes at odds with the lyrics, which are quite sweet, and show that some even this monster is cared for on his death bed, and will be missed.

This was written just as Covid-19 was getting very serious, and I guess the situation affected what I wrote.

這首歌是我最近三個月內寫的，原本是為了一部電視劇創作的主題曲，但最後他們選了另一首我的歌。

電視劇的主題有點黑暗，所以這首歌也是比較沉重的。我在想，罪惡的人死了之後到底會什麼發生。是墮落天使見到他， 把他的靈魂帶去地獄嗎？如果那個人真的罪惡那為什麼下去是種懲罰？魔鬼跟罪惡的人應該彼此欣賞吧，很開心在一起，魔鬼也應該不希望這個壞人離開凡間，因為在地球上，罪惡的人可以做魔鬼喜歡看的事。

魔鬼又是怎麼來的呢？ 是與生俱來的嗎，還是後天遇到什麼讓他變成魔鬼？魔鬼知道他們在做惡嗎，還是無意的，無法控制的？如果說不能控制，那他們會後悔自己做過的惡嗎，或者會因此恨自己嗎？如果會，那魔鬼其實很可憐的，他們也是受害者，死亡對魔鬼來說有可能也是減輕他的負擔。所以雖然副歌的歌詞代表這個惡人下地獄，旋律還是比較輕快的。

然後我在想，寬恕是什麼？ 如果基督教說所有的人，不管有多罪惡都可以被救贖，那為什麼這個罪惡的人不值得被愛？ 所以雖然主歌的旋律比較沉重，歌詞其實比較甜蜜，罪惡的人快死掉的時候還會有人陪著他，愛上他。

我寫這首歌的時候，剛好是新冠狀病毒很嚴重的時間， 我覺得這也有影響到這首歌的歌詞和旋律。

Lyrics 歌詞：

Blossom falling early, watched from our bed,
Gently, you stroke my hair and kiss my head,

Knowing what you love you cannot keep，
Your hot tears fall and burn,
they sear my cheeks,

The cards are down,
Read them and weep,
Read them and weep

Fallen angels guide me,
Lay roses at my feet,
As I’m slowly fading,
they cradle me as they weep

She knows (I can’t breathe), she knows;

I’ll soon be gone

Delirious dreams give way to serene strains,
A quiet sadness lurks ‘midst their sweet refrain,

The cards are down,
Read them and weep,
Read them and weep

Now the light shines through me, shade soothes my aching limbs,
Lost soul released into the arms of keening Seraphim

She knows (I can’t breathe), she knows (I can’t breathe), she knows

That I’m gone.

A very interesting piece. It sounds so dissonant and is yet so harmonious. I never heard an assimilable piece before.
