在讀見證、目擊和法律。好想看一篇用法律裡「真相」作為基礎設定去玩台灣存在的小說。但不是聽海湧那種，是卡夫卡那種。

Sinners
如果說Blood Quantum是這幾年看過的、最喜歡的殭屍片，那Sinners應該是這幾年看過的吸血鬼片榜首。(這兩部在怪物、種族和資本主義的再現很值得一起看。) Sinners裡暴力的再現一度讓我想到Chester Himes。
&音樂的用法實在有夠動人。(話說The Nightingale和Sinners可以算是澳洲和美國對音樂-殖民-種族連結的對比嗎？不過Kent的視角本來就有點爭議啦)

噢，還有Toni Morrison。在《最藍的眼睛》裡，Morrison是用音樂去講述一個破碎的角色。

"The pieces of Cholly's life could become coherent only in the head of a musician. Only those who talk their talk through the gold of curved metal, or in the touch of black-and-white rectangles and taut skins and strings echoing from wooden corridors, could give true form to his life.

Only they would know how to connect the heart of a red watermelon to the asafetida bag to the muscadine to the flashlight on his behind to the fists of money to the lemonade in a Mason jar to a man called Blue and come up with what all of that meant in joy, in pain, in anger, in love, and give it its final and pervading ache of freedom.

Only a musician would sense, know, without even knowing that he knew, that Cholly was free. Dangerously free."
雖然這段指的應該是爵士樂。

What, Exactly, Is Sinners Trying to Say?挺喜歡slate的這篇。Sinners不是美國影視常見的黑／白種族再現。(雖然也讓我很想問亞裔到底在非裔眼裡是什麼樣的存在？Coolger已經不到Peele那麼惡意了，呈現上感覺多少還是有怨氣)

我也是對片裡亞裔的存在很好奇，因為亞裔負責了門面（招牌），在對峙裡也是亞裔開口「允許」吸血鬼「進來」。這都會讓我有一點覺得到底是否亞裔有移民乖寶寶的形象還是怎樣……

Wi1dmoon: 對，我覺得和他們對亞裔的「模範少數」形象有關......
而且感覺這部呈現非裔和亞裔怎麼面對「吸血鬼」威脅的時候相當微妙，非裔是把非我族類、對我有危險的丟出去，亞裔，呃，為了自己的福祉寧願開門放鬼進來，危及所有人的性命。

突然很好奇。美國亞裔好像沒有歌？沒有什麼印象。

(Sinners好適合用來看美國的殖民主義和帝國主義......)

Everything You Missed in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners—COMP.........Okay?可是我沒聽錯的話電影裡的亞裔好像是講粵語？(查了，是台山話。不太確定到底能不能用粵語形容台山話)......那劇不應該是粵劇？話說那段亞裔沒有語言，只有樂器和畫面代言，這件事本身也是非常美式寫實啦，亞裔就是看起來像聽起來像「亞洲人」對吧 (好啦，我有文化差異，沒辦法吃那個亞裔視角)

......突然想到Andor裡面處理語言和音樂的方式。

"The cultural industries do have the power constantly to rework and reshape what they represent; and, by repetition and selection, to impose and implant such definitions of ourselves as fit more easily the descriptions of the dominant or preferred culture.

That is what the concentration of cultural power – the means of culture-making in the heads of the few – actually means. These definitions don’t have the power to occupy our minds; they don’t function on us as if we are blank screens.

But they do occupy and rework the interior contradictions of feeling and perception in the dominated classes; they do find or clear a space of recognition in those who respond to them.

Cultural domination has real effects - even if these are neither all-powerful nor all inclusive. If we were to argue that these imposed forms have no influence, it would be tantamount to arguing that the culture of the people can exist as a separate enclave, outside the distribution of cultural power and the relations of cultural force.

I do not believe that. Rather, I think there is a continuous and necessarily uneven and unequal struggle, by the dominant culture, constantly to disorganise and reorganise popular culture; to enclose and confine its definitions and forms within a more inclusive range of dominant forms.

There are points of resistance; there are also moments of supersession. This is the dialectic of cultural struggle. In our times, it goes on continuously, in the complex lines of resistance and acceptance, refusal and capitulation, which make the field of culture a sort of constant battlefield.

A battlefield where no once-for-all victories are obtained but where there are always strategic positions to be won and lost."
--Stuart Hall, Notes on Deconstructing 'the Popular'

Beyond Blaxploitation

噢，看起來挺多人注意到Sinners用Blaxploitation的梗。

我覺得亞裔角色最後的選擇也是很典型的關起門來自己解決的感覺（？

michaelnity: 不過在電影那個狀況下比較像關門解決自己+大家

BTW，如果有人對美國非裔+恐怖電影有興趣，想稍微知道一下歷史的話，推紀錄片Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror。Horror Noire - Official Trailer [HD] | A Shudder Ori...Horror Noire A History of Black Horror 2019 full HD不過這部沒有中文版就是。

突然有點好奇，不知道DaCosta的Candyman裡面對藝術的態度能不能和Sinners裡對音樂的態度比較。
CANDYMAN Teaser (2020) Nia DaCosta Puppet Video

貼一下Jennifer Kent的The Nightingale (2019)。音樂和殖民在這部也是主角。The Nightingale - Official Trailer I HD I IFC Films預告片的那首是Siúil A Rún。The Nightingale - Gaelic/Irish Singing Scene這幕是Oró, Sé Do Bheatha 'Bhaile。
──比較Sinners選的愛爾蘭歌和這部的愛爾蘭歌也是很有趣的一個點。

是說，我想請AI幫我把Notes on Deconstructing 'the Popular'的論文轉成文字版，他跟我說違反content filtering policy不幫我用，超級無言XDD

我都是用adobe的OCR功能

讓我想到，我之前去影印店問店員能不能幫我印書的其中一章，店員告知那會犯法。......但我可以自己去小七印。

VictorDark: 你需要OCR的版本嗎？我有檔，如果你不介意它是杜克大學出版社2018年收錄在Hall選集的版本。

agamennon: 好啊，好奇版本差異的地方是（？

我剛剛用「這是一套跳水袖舞的舞衣，不是京劇也不是粵劇戲服」說服自己了Winnie Mu (@winnie_mu) • Instagram photos and videos

VictorDark: 好啊，我私噗給你。
那本是集結Hall過往的文章，做成讀本的形式，所以每個大章前面都還有一小段介紹那些作品和其他作品的關係，還有Hall當初寫作的背景。文章本身和我上面連結貼的一樣，差別在這個版本後面多了延伸閱讀，有推薦相關的論文。

A ★★★★★ review of Sinners (2025)可能是因為基督教和殖民的關係在Black Studies(台灣是翻黑人研究嗎？)算是基礎知識，看罪人的時候對那部份感想就只有「噢」。(呃對宗教我一直都是無感到不行)
Black Studies對基督教+殖民的批判推Sylvia Wynter。他在
Unsettling the Coloniality of Being/Power/Truth/Free...: Towards the Human, After Man, Its Overrepresentation--An Argument裡面解釋的挺清楚的。

我覺得Coogler這部有點在回應Black Studies對他(也包含上次他們對黑豹)的批判啦。他有點卡在中間，兩面為難(Hence the sinners.)。
