直指奥斯卡的独立电影《疯狂的心》讲述的是一位没落乡村歌手的故事，是不是让你想到了去年的《摔跤王》？奇怪的是大受好评的原声音乐中，只有为数不多的两首入围了奥斯卡最佳歌曲备选名单。Somebody Else来自男主角在片中的第一曲表演，其中那一句“I used to be somebody. Now I am somebody else”——“我曾经也是个人物，如今我只是路人。”颇为让人感慨。
乡村格调《疯狂的心》清新独立直指奥斯卡
Surprisingly enough, only one other song from “Crazy Heart” joined “The Weary Kind” on this year’s list of eligible contenders. That song was “Somebody Else,” which is in fact the first tune we hear Jeff Bridges’s Bad Blake character sing in the film. The opening lyric was a particular favorite of songwriter T Bone Burnett’s: “I used to be somebody. Now I am somebody else.”
It’s a great moment because it introduces you to the killer soundtrack that will unfold for the next two hours and because it sheds a compelling light on the film’s central character, a man clinging to his past when he has long outgrown it.
