"The true identity of London, is in its absence. The city no longer exists, in this alone, it is truly modern." 强调金融中心属性,不断吸取外来务工劳力,同时极力弱化公民权益,从而丧失城市本身的社会文化价值。Metropolis的殊途同归。
伦敦1992年日记。Strand的脱衣舞男海报,Elephant and Castle的粉象,Leciester Square安静晒日的白人,Brixton Market驻足闲话的黑人阿姨,以及看起来就很贵的Savoy,在当时就有630镑一晚的套房……尽管一周有八个炸弹落地,却无法消磨影像文本中的诗意,并且它们仍可被恰当地置于今时今日——是的,伦敦仍在slump,甚至连衰颓都已停止,但是看到「当我们醒来,已是春天」这句,还是会有共鸣。
London is a city under siege from the suburban gov which uses homelessness, pollution, crime and the most expensive and rundown public transportation system of any metropolitan city in Europe as weapons against Londoners’ lingering desire for freedom of city life. The failure of London was rooted in the English fear of cities, a Protestant fear
左派小资的城市漫游,倒是有一些尖锐的公共议题呈现,但大部分时间都是在用单调的画面写呓语般的游记。
快要离开伦敦的时候才发现在这里的四年多过得多快,因为每时每刻都在忙着看它、看自己,也看到世界——透过这个依然在消失的城市的真空。

拍得太厉害 最喜欢讲大选的那一段 还有1:04:30 -- "we contemplated an impoverished provincial future as European influences decline" 感觉需要反反复复地观看!
20221211, Barbican Cinema 1伟大的纪录片!三十年前的伦敦人讨论的事情和现在基本没差(打倒保守党,打倒君主制,伦敦要完),对比一下发现好像对这些习惯就好了……当然片子里更重要的是对城市生活的描写,好想和大哥这样的人一起把伦敦走一遍
西方的風景論。又想要去倫敦了
最吊诡的是拍摄者(flanuer)在观察,却从未被观察。
听旁白图像变成了干扰,看图像对白变成了干扰。神烦的观看体验
