周末看个纪录片，Joan Baez: I Am a Noise (2023)

 

 

作为天之骄子的Joan，另外作为越战期间反战人士最活跃的人物之一，除了早年世人皆知的经历，比如与 Bob Dylan 相恋，这个最新版本面世的一个秘密就是Joan 对她自己父亲的指控。我的感觉，向世人揭露这个细节，可以用影片中她评价自己的一个句子来形容这个事件，she is crazy. 不过，毕竟这个是 Joan 自己亲自参与制作的影片，以她今天85岁高龄来看，总比它日被外人瞎扯来得坦荡荡。

我非常感触的就是，Joan 这个记录片的名字，"I am a noise”，人生如梦，给自己的一生来个盖棺定论，这个标题恰如其分。
