知道九成九是不會有人出D,所以只能自己解決,下到了這個THE RUTLES-ALL YOU NEED IS CASH
眾多史料都將MOCKUMENTARY(模仿,諷刺式偽記錄片)開山之作的稱號送給了羅伯萊納84年的經(jīng)典之作"THIS IS SPINAL TAP"(腰椎穿刺),但實(shí)際上六年之前,MONTY PYTHON成員ERIC IDLE就早已經(jīng)拍出了一部不折不扣的MOCKUMENTARY--ALL YOU NEED IS CASH.
THE RUTLES這個樂隊(duì)名最初來自于IDLE 1975年為BBC制作的電視系列節(jié)目"RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION"(節(jié)目名字同樣是對當(dāng)時走紅的節(jié)目LONDON WEEKEND TELEVISION的模仿嘲諷)中的一段小品,NEIL INNES作為"THE RUTLES"的成員演唱了一首完全模仿披頭士早期風(fēng)格的歌曲. 兩年之后,IDLE受邀赴美參加了王牌節(jié)目"SATURDAY NIGHT"的演出,演出中同樣包含了幾首RUTLES的歌曲,結(jié)果大受歡迎,IDLE大受鼓舞并決定制作一部全長的偽記錄片"ALL YOU NEED IS CASH".
整部影片的主體是那些照著披頭士的編年史來篡改的黑白或是彩色記錄片段,幾乎沒有遺漏任何重大事件,甚至連"保羅已死"之類的傳說也被照收不誤(套在了偽喬治頭上);副線則是IDLE飾演的記者尋訪RUTLES當(dāng)年的軌跡,采訪的對象甚至包括了賈格爾和保羅西蒙,而RUTLES對他們音樂的影響顯然都是非常非常大的. 片子搞笑的地方實(shí)在是數(shù)不勝數(shù),看看這些名字就知道了:SGT. RUTTER"S ONLY DARTS CLUB BAND, TRAGICAL HISTORY TOUR, YELLOW SUBMARINE SANDWICH(模仿黃色潛水艇的動畫場景水準(zhǔn)相當(dāng)不俗)......就像宣傳語所說的"The bigger a Beatles fan you are the more you will enjoy this wonderfully silly and surreal look at the 1960s"
片子另外一個極為出彩的地方就是NEIL INNES(INNES曾是The Bonzos樂隊(duì)的核心人物,樂隊(duì)曾參與披頭士電影“Magical Mystery Tour”的演出,其唱片的制作人也是保羅麥卡特尼)所譜寫的大量偽披頭士歌曲,無論早期,中期,后期全都學(xué)得個十足,只有那首"GET UP AND GO"算是純粹抄襲"GET BACK".也正因?yàn)榇?電影原聲帶-也等于是RUTLES的專輯相當(dāng)走紅,樂隊(duì)竟然還在96年重組參加了一系列演出,并發(fā)行了名為"THE RUTLES ARCHAEOLOGY"(又嘲諷了一把當(dāng)時剛發(fā)行的披頭士ANTHOLOGY)的第二張專輯,市面上甚至還能找到他們的BOOTLEG唱片.最搞笑的是,RUTLES核心NASTY的后繼樂隊(duì)起了個the Plastic Ono Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band的名字!
去年八月份,經(jīng)過對華納公司一年多的死纏爛打,ERIC IDLE終于成功推出了電影的續(xù)集-RUTLES 2:CAN"T BUY ME LUNCH,電影以那第二張專輯ARCHAEOLOGY為音樂背景,作了一次音樂考古,請到了更多的眾多大牌明星,暢談RUTLES音樂對他們的影響,其中包括了大衛(wèi)鮑伊,凱莉菲舍爾,珠兒,湯姆漢克斯,史蒂夫馬丁,羅賓威廉姆斯,麥當(dāng)娜,詹尼弗洛佩茲,麥克尼克爾斯等等.期待能早日看到DVD發(fā)行.
