死于揭露

2018.06.18

轻装出门环球港，观影上海电影节电影：dying to tell，中文名：死于揭露。

先聊聊选中这部电影的契机。开始是被死于揭露所引起注意。然后大致扫了一眼影片介绍，知道是有关战后常见心理疾病：创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。类型为纪录片，PTSD一直是心理剧大热的选题，很想了解战后这类患者真实的生活，也没多想就买了。如果说选电影节影片对于我这类没有事先做详细功课去了解的人来说是抓阄，那观看这部电影无疑是爆冷中奖。

再说说这部电影的中文名。死于揭露，的确第一眼由死来抓住注意力。但dying to tell才是反应电影的精髓。从阅读理解来说，死于揭露中的死是一种，已死的状态。而dying则是正在进行中的，无时无刻不在死亡边缘的巨压。我更喜欢片中的翻译，冒死相告。因为这部影片记录的是一小撮默默无闻，但却用生命去提醒这个世界去关注被我们忽视的日常世界的另一边，和平生活的另一面，快乐、富裕、文明的反面。他们，战地记者。普通，不如战士们健壮，仍然奔赴于战场中，与死神博弈，哪怕用牺牲生命作为代价，也要告诉世界，那些战争里究竟发生了什么。

这部影片由记者们讲述几个战地记者的经历串联，虽然来自不同国家，到后来发现大家都是战地的熟面孔，都是朋友。一有战事，路透社、西班牙日报、美联社的战地记者、摄影师们不约而同奔赴火线。从和平奔赴战争，光勇气不够，还要拥有对这个世界沉重的使命感以及无私的爱。

让我一度落泪的是大伙轮流对米格尔·吉尔的叙述。他是一位律师，他休假选择去非洲战地了解那个地区发生什么。碰巧西班牙日报的摄影师病了，有人问他你会摄影吗，他答：会。然后向隔壁路透社摄影师学习如何摄影。他的战地记者生涯意外的开始了。有一些他被武装分子殴打的镜头，一次他脑后巨大伤口在医院就诊，剩下最多的是他在炮火中尾随战士、平民的记录。同僚们谈及他的死亡，很平静。说他正在塞拉利昂的战争中，从联合国办事员成堆的死尸中，找寻他们还活着时的身份证明，告诉外界他们的生死下落。三天后他自己也被炸死。“他是一个优秀的人，他总是在战争中将获得的食物给到更需要的人。”

还有一位摄影师，他去拍摄一位在战争中受伤，脖子以下全部瘫痪的十几女孩。她一看到他就开始流泪，但是他说他强忍住眼泪，不愿意在她面前哭泣，他说他的眼泪是对于悲惨的她的一种映射。我哭了，目睹了一位绅士的品格，生命对于另一生命的最大善意。什么是发自内心的善良，在这种时刻，他是可以哭的。他忍住眼泪的理由，让我在心里感激他对于善良的诠释。

电影的最后，是他们的名字以及在世时间的记录。心中默算，都基本在三十几岁的时候离开这个世界。幸存者说，他们是社会的眼睛，要告诉世界究竟发生了什么。

这也让我开始感悟责任感和使命感。他们不仅背负着战地记者这份工作的责任，更是胸怀对于记录人类文明、世界历史的使命。

战争，在他们的面前，只剩下沉默的废墟。人类理所应当记得他们，却悄悄将他们遗弃在战争中了。幸而有赫尔南·琴的这部dying to tell ，用88分钟的电影让我们去关注应当被记起的人。一段沉重的88分钟观影，一段宝贵的记忆。

Miguel Gil Moreno de Mora

Miguel Gil Moreno de Mora (June 21, 1967 – May 24, 2000) was a Spanish cameraman and war correspondent, working for Associated Press.

After a successful career as a corporate lawyer in Barcelona, Spain, Miguel became a freelance war correspondent first in Sarajevo and later, an award winning cameraman for AP Television.

Leaving behind his career as a corporate lawyer in Spain, Miguel became a freelance war correspondent in Sarajevo and later in Kosovo, where he was one of the few Western cameraman to stay in Pristina during the Nato air campaign. His images of Albanians being herded on to railway carriages changed our understanding of what was happening in Kosovo.

After that, he went to Grozny (Chechnya). His pictures from Chechnya were the people of Grozny's only window to the world. He also was in Congo, Liberia, Ruanda, Sudan and Sierra Leone. However, as he wrote himself, he experienced the most dangerous moments of his life in Chechnya. Miguel's images were some of the few informative documents registered by an international agency in that conflict.

Miguel was awarded as cameraman of the year by the Royal Television Society in 2000, recognizing its outstanding job in conflict areas.

Miguel Gil Moreno de Mora and Reuters Correspondent Kurt Schork were shot to death in an ambush to a Sierra Leone Army (SLA) convoy by the fighters of the Revolutionary United Front on May 24, 2000. In the attack four SLA soldiers were killed and two other journalists, South African cameraman Mark Chisholm and Greek photographer Yannis Behrakis, were injured.[1]

Miguel, 32, was "a big man — big of heart," in the words of AP photographer Santiago Lyon.
