雲端漫遊

  由老牌演員功夫影集裡的大衛卡拉定主演的片子,描寫特技飛行業的辛酸。因為沒看到前面,大約是中間開始看的,又沒有重播,所以只能寫個大概。我喜歡空中飛行的感覺。他的徒弟Tom在一次表演中,載了某地的選美皇后之類的美女,他想捉弄她,就故意倒著飛,把她嚇個半死,他看到這幕,趕忙把美女扶下機,順便教訓一下他,沒想到後來到酒吧時,美女反而跑去找Tom,要給他一次道的機會,然後二人就在一起了,真有意思。

  一開始看這部時,只覺得有點面熟,好像是他的樣子,上網查資料時,才確定是卡拉定,以前有買過一部瑞士魯賓遜類的電影,他在裡面演壞人,據wiki上網友的說明,他晚年都演壞人比較多。這部片他演一個有情有義,又有完美結局的人,蠻不錯的。

  我喜歡裡面的一首同名插曲cloud dancer,多貼切啊,看著飛機飛行,放出白色的煙,旋轉、空翻、交替飛行,駕駛員享受著風帶來的壓力和快感,彷彿在無人之境,努力呈現自我,向極限挑戰,多麼美好。不同於悍衛戰士(Top Gun)那種練習和殺敵,他們只是和自己與朋友挑戰,向更好的技術邁進。看著飛機在空中飛行,心裡有一種達感。人也許無法對抗對心引力,但還是可以藉由飛機來實現不可能的任務,如同在雲中漫步一般。


以下為插曲的歌詞

A lone hawk skates gracefully across silent skies
wispy fingers of mist caressing his bronzed wings
his restless warrior's heart seeking...
searching ceaselessly
high above this sullen earth.

Perched in the trees she watches.

tracking his progress with wary, longing eyes.
Yearning to join him...
Cloud dancer, sky walker,
crying his haunting songs

In one heart shattering moment
her hungry heart swollen with love, seeing his huge graceful form
swooping through the early evening's light,
she soars...

Rising.... she surfs the wind,
calling him...
enticing him with her sirens song...
swooping through the clouds,
winged enchantress of the northern skies.

Aloft, they soar
above the surly ruins of this planet
and kiss the face of God
with sea scented feathers

and dance with angels
among the stars.
