[影像] Generation Kill 《殺戮世代》- #6 Stay Frosty

不知不覺就來到第六集了，有一種快解脫但是又有點淡淡的哀傷的感覺。這張照片其實是第一集裡的一幕，小女孩穿著綠洋裝橘色的頭巾，高聳的電線桿還有疾駛而過的悍馬車，小哈覺得很詩意，不放上來可惜，而且前三集（還有第七集）的導演Susanna White可是很努力向HBO爭取，才把這麼美的鏡頭留下來。

Stay Frosty可以說是Generation Kill的key phrase，從第一集開始，每集總會聽到個幾次，而意思就是保持警戒。事實上這句話是Sgt. Eric Kocher（Bravo3-2的隊長，也是GK的Key Military Adviser）發明的（用這個字眼可能不太對…），不過因為Evan Wright搭的是Iceman的車，所以一直以為是Sgt. Colbert的口頭禪，就這樣寫進書裡。DVD附的評論裡有幫Kocher平反一下，開玩笑說其實他才是真正的Iceman，哈哈！

* The way to stop the cars

第五集最後，Bravo2在Al Muwaffaqiyah設路障，有輛車不理會煙霧彈的警告，直接向Marines開過來。Walt因為睡眠不足，沒有先發射警告，直接一槍打中司機的眼睛……


 

Lt. Fick: Walt. Finish your report and get it to me ASAP. You did nothing wrong. But we're gonna see if there's a better way to stop these cars.
Ray: Walt's got a great way, Lt. Shoot the driver, stop the car.

Ray吃起東西真的很像一兩歲的小孩。看到他說那句話，真的很想從他頭上敲下去，不過其實他也沒說錯，就是太狠了點。可憐的Walt，因為這件事整個悶了，不過從這個事件，也很明顯可以看出來他和Trombley的不同，Walt是比較有同理心那個。 而且這個事件又再次強調了一件事，Every marine is a rifle man. 就算他已經累到神智不清了。

 

Ray: This is really interesting. You know, Iraqis don't really seem good at fighting, but then they never really completely surrender either.
Brad: Put down that f**king milkshake and dig a f**king hole.
Ray: Why, so I can be more like the teacher's pet?
Brad: Yeah, that's exactly it. You should be more like Trombley.
Ray: More like Trombley? More like Trombley?!

你看看Ray有多激動，哈～聽他這樣喊，感覺上應該要寫成"MORE LIKE TROMBLEY?!" 很火Brad拿他跟Trombley比，不過對Brad來說，Trombley是個聽話的小孩，叫他做啥就做啥，而且有時候我甚至覺得Brad還滿關心Trombley的，常常念他要記得喝水、要記得上廁所之類的。畢竟，Trombley雖然是個Recon Marine（其實技術上還不算是…），但也是個只有19歲的小孩，不過已經結婚了。Orz

* Not the right time

Colonel Dowdy對於General Mattis要求他領軍進Al Kut的命令有所猶疑，沒有果決地執行任務，遭到卸除隨身手槍的彈藥。[註] Encino Man用這件事來威脅Lt. Fick…



Encino Man: So you know, there will be no more questioning of my orders.
Lt. Fick: Respectfully, sir, I've only tried to interpret your intent to the best of my ability.

Lt.還是很有種啊。我覺得Lt.非常努力要服從Encino Man的命令，但是也很相信在必要的情況下，應該用自己的判斷去執行所謂的命令。Encimo Man應該很認真覺得這傢伙真難搞吧。XD

前一晚Bravo3活捉了一個伊拉克士兵，其實應該是Sgt. Kocher抓的，但是Encino Man和Casey Kasem把功勞都歸給Captain America了，Kocher似乎有話想說……

Kocher: If you want to believe….
Lt. Fick: What was the reason for this meeting?
Casey Kasem: Right. Battalion says we're moving on. That's ASAP, Lieutenant.
Kocher: Lieutenant, I was about to...
Lt. Fick: Yeah, but no. Not the right time.

哇～Lt.救了Kocher耶，搶話的反應好快。XD Kocher太衝動了，上次也是為了AK的事，狠狠地威脅了Captain America，那是還好Captain America沒向上報告，不然Kocher就吃不了兜著走了。看得出來Kocher很欣賞Lt. Fick，也很羨慕Bravo2有Fick這樣的指揮官，他已經不只一次跟Bravo2的人表達過欣羨之情了。

* Like a target

Garza很可憐，自己的鋼盔掉了，只能用機車安全帽代替，可是連安全帽都被Sgt. Major Sixta沒收了，好不容易撿到一個伊拉克的鋼盔。


 

Garza: Found a haji helmet. Fits good. How do I look?
Espera: Like a target.

LOL 我好愛Espera喔！！！言簡意賅，一針見血啊～

* Do not f**k with my men

沼澤裡有一輛被炸毀的T-72（坦克），Casey Kasem要求Bravo2-2的人去偵查，Sgt. Lovell（Bravo2-3隊長）很聰明，還先問了是否有經過家裡老大Lt. Fick的同意，Casey Kasem說有……



Lt. Fick: Get the f**k out of here. And do not ever again mess with my platoon.
Casey Kasem: I was just trying to cover you. You know you're suspect with battalion.
Lt. Fick: F**k that. You can f**k with me all you want but do not, I repeat, do not f**k with my men. I'm putting it down, Gunny. You picking it up?

只有小哈這樣嘛？我覺得Lt.在這一幕實在是"HOT"的過分啊！熱得我都要融化了。（笑）一直很愛Stark Sands的聲音表情，尤其是他演生氣Lt.的時候，語速非常的快，可是咬字卻很清晰，情緒傳達很精準。不過他在DVD的commentary裡講話軟綿綿的，我都覺得他是不是要睡著了。XD



還有這一幕雖然是夜戲，但是關鍵時刻光線用得棒極了。Lt.發脾氣時，只有右眼在光線下，剛好把Stark的顏色偏淺的漂亮綠眼睛，還有那凌厲的眼神襯托出來，小哈第一次看時都看傻了。（大心）

* The real tactics

針對OIF(Operation Iraqi Freedom)，上級實際的戰略終於放出來了，Lt. Fick向Bravo2的人解釋上級的戰略。



Lt. Fick: To be clear, the Commander's intent was never to take it. The focus has always been Baghdad.
Garza: This sucks, man. We did all this shit because we took a wrong turn?

簡單來說，1st Recon的任務就是，在由南往北前進的路途中，要負責拖住伊拉克的主力部隊，讓美軍主要攻擊部隊可以不受干擾，直接前往巴格達，進行最重要的大規模作戰，這就是為什麼1st Recon每次都要找死開進埋伏，吸引敵軍火力的原因了。雖然Lt.很努力要向Bravo2的人說明長官的戰略，不過大家似乎不願意買帳，也很難接受他們所受的訓練，竟然被當做這種用途。 話說後面Lt.的話題也實在轉得很快啊！XD

* The Iraqi lady

Bravo2在設的路障上，遇到了大批從巴格達逃出來的難民，雖然很想幫忙，卻心有餘力不足。另外，Iceman遇到了一位美麗的伊拉克小姐對他說了這些話。


 

Iraqi Lady: Thank you for letting me pass on my own road in my own country.
Brad: Excuse me, ma'am?
Iraqi Lady: Why are you Americans here?
Brad: We want to help you, ma'am.
Iraqi Lady: You know, I come from Baghdad. It is a beautiful city and you are bombing it. This is to make my life better? You know, this is a very beautiful country. And our president is very stupid. Maybe you are here for liberation, I don't know. But because of oil, it feels like war of aggression.

這伊拉克小妞應該說出世界上大部分人的心聲吧。小哈一直覺得Iceman在戲裡算是比較沒有政治色彩的人，雖然他說了一句Vote Republican（後來Evan Wright再三在訪問中強調，真的Colbert是真心說這句話的，不是像戲裡那樣開玩笑的語氣。）。XD 比起政治立場，他對自己是不是能夠得到真正的偵查任務更有興趣，他希望可以藉由獲得一個真正任務，對自己的戰士精神和所受過的嚴酷訓練有個交待。所以當伊拉克小姐質問他時，我覺得他有點不知所措，不知如何回應。（笑）

* The war is over for us

美軍所有的主力武裝部隊，已經抵達巴格達，準備上演最後的大戲了。但是身負不同任務的1st Recon，卻沒辦法參加，這讓Iceman覺得很挫折。



 

Brad: Putting us in these is an affront to my warrior spirit. I'm a hunter, not a f**king truck driver corralling gun platforms.
Lt. Fick: Brad, we were the f**king first boots on the ground in the American invasion of Mesopotamia. And you got your men out alive. Might be sad about not getting your mission but for me, I got to tell you, I'm glad this is over.

這段短短的對話，可以看出Lt.和Iceman的mindset有多大的不同。Brad一心想要的是真正的任務來證明自己，因為他是個真正的Warrior，而Lt.心裡只想著能夠把他的人都安全帶回家就好了。事實上，真正的Nate Fick有說過，在戰場上他帶人執行任務只有兩個標準。第一是必須能夠對得起個人道德上的標準，不看大方向，而是個人的道德。第二是，如果他的屬下不幸殉職，他必須能夠心平氣和地坐在他父母的客廳裡，驕傲地告訴他們，他們的兒子為何而殉職。所以不管在阿富汗或是伊拉克，Fick一直很努力守住這兩個他自己立下的基準。

而這段戲也充分展現Lt. Fick和Iceman的關係。他們倆很互相信任，雖然影集中段Lt. Fick變嚴厲的時候，有一點點緊張的味道，不過基本上雙方都很尊重對方。而且總覺得他們兩個默契很好，光是用眼神就可以傳達很多事情，這心電感應能力也太強了。Stark Sands和Alexander Skarsgård都是光用眼睛就可以說很多故事的人。

Stark有說過他很感恩的一件事，就是在非洲拍戲的時候，真的Nate Fick很幫忙，他可以隨時打電話去請教Fick他是怎麼跟Bravo2的人相處，或是他跟Brad Colbert的關係如何。是Fick告訴他，他跟真正的Colbert有很多非言語的溝通，包括只用眼神。Stark跟Alex本來就是朋友，這對他們一點都不困難，所以就自然而然地變成我們在電視上看到電力超強的眼神交流了。然後這兩個人…就造成腐女界的大暴動了。（爆）

2010/2/13 補SS說明原文：

I was really lucky. He (Fick) was incredibly available to me. When I was over there I could call him whenever I needed to and ask him questions like "How did you relate with these guys? What kind of relationship did you have with Colbert?" for instance, and he told me that there were a lot of unspoken conversations between the eyes, and I was really happy to hear that, because it's something that Alex and I, Alexander Skarsgård who plays Colbert in the series, we have that, I mean, just as friends, and so it was easy to translate that onto the screen. -- from Stark Sands in Generation Kill #3 Screwby DVD commentary

* Flying Iceman

大概仗快打完了，氣氛一整個輕鬆了起來，連Iceman都忍不住玩起造飛機？！

 

 

Radio: Men over all stations, be advised: Sergeant Colbert is wings level. Can somebody clear him hot?

好好笑，當時全場的人全都傻眼了，連正在用無線電通話的Lt.都呆住把話筒放下。這段對話還是背景的無線電內容，太妙了，笑死我了！！Generation Kill很棒的地方，就是像這樣的小細節都很可愛，GK常常用背景的無線電通話鋪梗，小哈實在很吃這一套。XD

這時看到Brad莫名其妙玩起造飛機的Ray和Reporter的反應是……

 

Ray: What, did you give him some Rolling Stone drugs or something?
Reporter: No.
Ray: What the f**k did you do to him?
Reporter: Asked him what he would be if he wasn't a Marine.
Ray: Oh my god, he wants to be a ballerina? That's my f**kin' dream.

Oh~ I love you so much Ray Ray. You're a GENIUS.

* They are relaxed

真的很輕鬆吼，大家好high啊～



1) Iceman真的很厲害，東西可以藏這麼久。
2) Ray看到JUGGS的表情太妙了，很久沒combat jack了？XD
3) Reporter女朋友的照片，應該是這戲最重要的女角，而且是飽受凌辱的那種。LOL
4) Whopper Jr. = Burger King = Baby Killer = Brilliant!!
5) Ray吃東西真的很髒，Walt終於回來了！！！

* The definition of insane

Captain America 向 Lt. Fick解釋瘋狂的定義……




Captain America: Each man sees things differently in combat. Right now at any time, we could die. It's almost enough to make you lose your sanity. To remain calm and stay in a place where you think you will die, that too is the definition of insane. Nate, you have to become insane to survive in combat.

小哈覺得自己在看這段戲時，表情一定跟Lt. Fick一樣複雜，因為你會某種程度認知到，其實Captain America說得好像真的有那麼一點道理，然後會有點不知該如何反應。真正的Kocher說，Captain America在科威特時其實很正常，是個很不錯的軍官，大家還滿愛他的，可是一過了伊拉克邊境，戰爭正式開始，他就完全變了一個人。所以，我總是會想，Captain America應該是真的精神狀況出問題了。

* Cease fire!!

因為Garza戴著伊拉克的鋼盔，Alpha Company誤認為是敵軍，衝著正在野地巡邏的Bravo2開火。




Alpha Company的指揮官Captain Patterson大老遠就衝下車，狂奔狂喊"Cease fire!! Cease fire!!"，難怪我這麼愛他，真的很酷。Ray也趕快下車罵人，Captain Patterson對他說"I got this, Corporal." ，還是忍不住覺得Captain Patterson真的是個很棒的長官。這邊剛好又呼應了前面Espera的話，Garza的新鋼盔讓他"look like a target"。

* Tongue included

Lt. Fick很得民心喔！XD





Ray: Looks like you won some hearts and minds, sir. And some tongue.

單純是想把Lt.的囧樣和Ray的機車表情貼出來。沒想到，整部戲唯一跟Lt.有肌膚之親的是個伊拉克老人。LOL

哇～～～還剩一集就寫完了！！！

[註] 美國海軍陸戰隊營長級（含）以上的軍官，不會配發步槍，只會配發一把Beretta M9手槍，作為自衛使用。所以當Colonel Dowdy被迫卸除隨身手槍的彈藥，這等於是打了他一巴掌，宣告不承認他的指揮官地位，這對高階軍官來說是很嚴重的事。
