好莱坞的流行病--崇魔的时尚

撰文/翻译：陈凯

引言

《崇魔的时尚》（Killer Chic）是一部由“思考”电视台（Reason TV）制作的八分钟的视频。它是针对即将放映的好莱坞大片“切.格瓦拉”而制作的。它揭露和抨击了由演艺界所代表的西方左派的病态崇拜共産屠夫们的心态；深刻地剖析了西方左派至今仍对共産主义、社会主义抱有幻梦，对杀人如麻的共産屠夫们美化和罗曼蒂克化的有害情结与行为。

逃离古巴的爵士音乐家Paquito D'Rivera和从中国大陆来美寻求自由的前中国国家男篮队员陈凯在《崇魔的时尚》中现身说法，有力地抨击了现代西方主流文化中存在着的道德混乱与腐败现象。同时它也对当今以好莱坞为首的西方左派以及他们的崇魔心态做了最辛辣的讽刺与描绘。

“思考”电视台（Reason TV）是美国主流社会的自由党的媒体平台之一。

崇魔的时尚 KILLER CHIC（Reason TV 制作）

【旁白】各位好。我是“思考”电视台的Nick Gillespie。你有没有想过当一个名人扮演另外一个名人，情景会是什么样子。好吧，现在我们就来看看在一个新的好莱坞大片中一流演员Benico Del Toro扮演一流英雄切.格瓦拉。

这两个明星碰撞的炙烈是那么光彩四射以至于所有电影节中最华丽的“康斯电影节”也不得不将Del Toro推为最佳主演。 所扮演的这个明星所有的是极少的好莱坞巨星们才能得到的。在Oprah, Bono, or Madonna之前，最大的明星其实只是一个字“切”（格瓦拉）。

“切”是为所有的名人们所青睐的名人，你看Johnny Depp的项链上有他。 而Gisele Bunchen除了“切”她身上真是一丝不挂。 “切”在半世纪前就一秀独出。他以一个理想者革命家的身名帮助建立了一个共产主义的古巴。

今天“切”的革命英雄形象被无数的商品用做品头货来卖。你看有“切”牌的啤酒，“切”的项链牌，“切”的腰带环、打火机、快餐等等。 最为流行的“切”的商品就是那出名的汗衫（T-Shirt）。“切”的汗衫是那么的时兴以至于还有你可以买到印有“切”汗衫的汗衫。 在几乎所有的示威集会上你都会看到“切”的汗衫。 从hip-hop 到摇滚到流行曲，歌星们真的风靡“切”。但是歌星们真的对“切”爱至心坎了吗？

PAQUITO D'RIVERA（一个逃离古巴的爵士音乐家） 説： “切”对艺术家们恨得咬牙切齿。

那为什么今天艺人们还傻乎乎地迷恋格瓦拉呢？

Paquito D'Rivera跟格瓦拉见过一次面。他很清楚地记得格瓦拉对他想成为一个爵士音乐家是多么地仇视。 与“切”的会面叫我开了窍，我当时意识到我得马上逃走，我不属于这个鬼地方。 D』Rivera成功地逃离了古巴。在美国Grammy音乐节上他的爵士乐曾九次获奖。

PAQUITO说：摇滚乐和爵士乐一样，在古巴被认为是帝国主义的音乐。六十年代和七十年代的时候外国文化在古巴是被杜绝的。

【旁白】当美国的人们被“披头 四”风靡的时候，D'Riveria说古巴的音乐迷们将“披头四”的音乐藏在政府的革命歌曲集里面互相传送。

PAQUITO说： 因为他们不想在街上被政府查出他们有“披头四”或Santana或其他摇滚乐队的音乐。

格瓦拉与卡斯特罗（网络照片）

【旁白】 你现在可想而见为什么D'Riviera对在西方人们的崇“切”现象的厌恶了。 在2005年奥斯卡电影节上，Carlos Santana和Antonio Banderas唱了一首电影“摩托车日记”里的插曲，那是关于青年时期格瓦拉的电影，曾获得影评论者们的好评。

PAQUITO说：“对所有在古巴的青年来说那是对音乐迷们的污辱，因为那些音乐迷们在古巴是不能把你（Santana）的音乐拿出来公开欣赏的。”

【旁白】这个看上去作为反叛的象征，其实是胁迫人们服从的工具。也就是说如果在古巴有人抗议共产政府的话，格瓦拉是不会加入抗议者们的行列的。“切”的随从暴徒们只会冲过来把抗议者们逮捕入狱，甚至会任意杀害他们。

PAQUITO说：“切”曾将许多无辜的人们未经审判就自行处决了。

【旁白】“切”曾是卡斯特罗的主要行刑杀手，并直接掌管过血腥昭着的La Cabana监狱。

PAQUITO说：“切”曾说过，先杀后裁。那真是恐怖至极。这就是为什么格瓦拉被人们称为暴名昭着的La Cabana监狱的“屠夫”。

【旁白】 如果你想将你的小孩儿裹在一个有着La Cabana屠夫的形象的连襟衫里面，恐怕不是什么好主意。 “切”永远是“伟光正”的。但很少的人会认出这些无辜的面孔。 这些只是在被“切“和他的行刑队处决的许多人们中很少的几个。 然而当Del Toro将他的得奖归功于切. 格瓦拉的时候，全场高声欢呼。

几年以前，D'Rivera曾写信给Benicio Del Toro告知他关于“切”的真相。看到Santana在奥斯卡得奖后穿着“切”汗衫并带着十字架项链，他也曾写信给Santana。

PAQUITO说：那就像戴着纳粹符号進犹太庙一样令人作呕，毫无情理。

【旁白】纳粹的符号总是让我们感到恐怖与恶心。因为希特勒曾是世界上恶名昭着的杀人狂。 这就是为什么当哈利王子穿上纳粹制服参加一个化妆晚会的时候，英国的报界媒体谴责他没有道德风范。但当哈利王子穿上“切”汗衫的时候，英国媒体却不以为然地认为这只是个“噱头”，是“哈瓦那的幽默”，不是吗？！ 我们确实对法西斯的杀人反感抵触；那么我们是否对共产邪恶的杀人也同样反感抵触呢？！

当然，格瓦拉杀的人远不如希特勒杀的人多，但有一个大屠夫是格瓦拉最为顶礼膜拜的，如有机会连“切”都要虔诚地穿上有着这个屠夫形象的汗衫。

前中国国家男篮队员陈凯说：““切”，卡斯特罗，世界上所有的共产邪恶政权最崇拜毛泽东所代表的唯一特质 -- 暴力杀人。

【旁白】陈凯在共产独裁者毛泽东统治下的中国出生长大， 在那时的中国曾是中国国家男篮队员，但他的职业篮球生涯可不像NBA的球星那样潇洒。

陈凯说：“你没有说话的权利，你甚至没有思考的权利。 ”

【旁白】陈的生活就像所有的中国人一样。毛泽东的共产极权机器监视着他所有的行为，言论与思想。

陈凯说：“他们真的有效地消灭了你独立思考质疑的能力”。

【旁白】 向毛的极权提出质疑是极端危险的。

陈凯说：“如果你质疑毛的极权，不光你自身的性命有危险，也危及你所有家人的性命。”

【旁白】陈凯的亲属们被强迫放逐劳改；他亲眼见证无数无辜的人们被迫害虐杀。毛泽东的铁拳经济手段导致了人类历史上最大的饥荒，至少有两千万人被饿死。

陈凯说：“人们在饥饿中开始食人，吃小孩儿，父母们不忍吃自己的小孩儿。他们便与他们的邻居们交换孩子充饥。”

【旁白】想要弄清共产主义究竟致死了多少无辜性命是件难事，但在最近出版的“共产主义黑皮书”中有人做过统计，此书的作者们大都是前共产党员们。他们的初步统计，毛泽东亲手造成了大约六千五百万人（在和平时期）的死亡。这个数字大大地超过了希特勒的杀人记录。

陈凯说：“毛泽东是人类历史上最大的杀人魔王。”

【旁白】当然我们不能想象有人会用人类历史上最大的杀人魔王的形象去推销商品。慢着，也可能“毛”是一个新的“切”。你今天可以买到毛的手表，毛的茶杯，毛的帽子和汗衫。你还可以时髦庸俗地告诉全世界毛泽东是我们一伙的。 就在离陈凯家不远的一家时尚店里，他看到有人在卖“毛”汗衫（T-Shirt）。而离那儿只有几个门脸儿，居然有一家以“毛”命名的饭馆儿。

陈凯说：“如果这儿有一个纳粹的标志，人们会怎么想，怎么回应？！”

【旁白】你能想像有一家叫“希特勒的厨房”的餐厅吗？你能想像有商家出售希特勒的茶杯，或汗衫上写着“希特勒是我们这一伙的”。

陈凯说：“当我看到这个画面的时候，我看到了泪；我看到了血。 ”

【旁白】陈凯与D'Rivera都不懂为什么共产屠夫们在这儿成了人们崇拜的时尚，但他们俩都各自找到的自由和最终的一笑。

陈凯说：“我在毛的脸上打了个叉。”

【旁白】陈凯在1975年的中国第三届全运会上为他的篮球队（八一队）赢得冠军。 他在毛的脸上打了个叉，但这是在他来到美国以后。如果他在（毛的）中国的时候这样做会有什么样的结果？

陈凯说：“那，我今天不会站在这儿（笑）。 我今天不会站在这儿跟你聊天儿。 ”

PAQUITO说：“有时候当我看到“切”汗衫的时候，我会自寻幽默地发笑。”

【旁白】D'Rivera 品评着这个共产标像成为了商品品头的现象：

PAQUITO说：“他（“切”）的成功是在他最为仇视的人类行为的领域里--商业市场。 切. 格瓦拉居然成了商业市场中的热门货。 我都要笑死了！”

插入歌曲:
你穿着切. 格瓦拉的汗衫，你都不知道他是个什么货色。
你穿着切. 格瓦拉的汗衫，你都不知道他的丑态暴行。

Introduction

"Giselle Bundchen wears him on her bikini. Johnny Depp wears him around his neck. And Benicio del Toro becomes him in Steven Soderbergh』s by-all-accounts-fawning four-hour biopic, Che, now in limited release. Del Toro, who took home best actor honors at Cannes earlier this year, is already earning Oscar whispers for his performance. But “Che” is only the latest sign of
Hollywood』s infatuation with Guevara, Castro, and other dictatorial goons (recently, Sean Penn had a cover story in The Nation lamenting unfair media coverage of the tyrannical Cuban and Venezuelan regimes).

“Killer Chic” tours the hellholes of totalitarianism through the eyes of Paquito D』Rivera, who left Cuba for artistic freedom and ended up becoming a Grammy Award-winning jazz player, and Kai Chen, a former member of the Chinese national basketball team whose relatives were hauled off under Mao Zedong』s Cultural Revolution. “Killer Chic” is a fascinating and troubling foray into Hollywood』s shallow–and callow–appropriation of murderous thugs."

NARRATION ： Hi I'm Nick Gillespie for Reason TV. Do you ever wonder what happens when a celebrity plays a celebrity?
Well, you get the new epic film where A-lister Benico Del Toro plays A-lister Ernesto Guevara.

NARRATION： The union of the two supernovas was so intense that Cannes, the glitziest film festival of them all, had little choice but to honor Del Toro with the award for best actor.

SOT SEAN PENN
Benicio Del Toro

NARRATION： The man Del Toro depicted shot to a level of stardom that few A-listers reach─the one word name. Before there was Oprah, Bono, or Madonna, there was Che. Del Toro

Che's the celebrity that celebrities adore. That's him on Johnny Depp's neck. And Che is just about all Gisele Bunchen is wearing.

Che burst onto the scene a half-century ago as an idealistic revolutionary who helped found communist Cuba.

NARRATION： Today his rebellious image is used to sell countless products─beer, flasks, belt buckles, lighters, fast food.

SOT Viva gordita Gordita
NARRATION： The best known Che product is the t-shirt. The Che shirts are so popular that you can buy a t-shirt with the famous t-shirt on it.
SOT Power to the people!

NARRATION： Go to most any kind of protest and you're bound to see Che.
And from hip-hop to rock to pop, musicians really dig Che. But is this a case of unrequited love? He hate artists. So how is it possible that artists today still support the image of Che Guevara.

NARRATION： Paquito D'Rivera met Che once and recalls how hostile he was to D'Rivera's dream of becoming a musician.

PAQUITO: Che was an inspiration for me because ever since I thought I have to get out of this island as soon as I can. Because I am in the wrong place at the wrong time.

SOT Mr. Paquito D』Rivera.

NARRATION： D'Rivera did escape Cuba, and so far he's won 9 Grammy awards playing the kind of music Che tried to silence.

PAQUITO: Rock and roll, as well as jazz, is what they called imperialist music. In the 60s and 70s foreign culture was vetoed there.

NARRATION： While Americans were fainting over the Beatles, D'Riveria says Cuban fans resorted to slipping the fab four』s records into album covers of government-approved performers.

PAQUITO: Because they don't want to be seen on the street with the cover of the Beatles or Santana or some other rock and roller.

NARRATION： So maybe you can see why D'Riviera gets annoyed at stuff like this.

NARRATION： At the 2005 Academy Awards, Carlos Santana and Antonio Banderas performed a song from the Motorcycle Diaries, the film that won rave reviews for its tender depiction of a young Che Guevara.

D』Rivera calls Santana's performance ......

PAQUITO: An insult to those young people who have to hide your lps because your music was forbidden in Cuba

NARRATION： The symbol of rebellion actually enforced conformity.
So if protesters tried this in Cuba, Che wouldn't be marching with them.
His men would be imprisoning them, and perhaps murdering them.

PAQUITO: And he ordered the ution of many people with no trial.

NARRATION： Che also served as Castro』s chief utioner, presiding over the infamous La Cabana prison.

PAQUITO: He say, the detainee, first you kill him and then you judge him. That is very scary. That』s why he was called la caricera del cabana, the butcher of la cabana fortress.

NARRATION： So maybe it's not such a great idea to wiggle your toddler into a onesie with the butcher of La Cabana』s mug on it.

NARRATION： Che is so iconic, but few recognize these faces. Just some of the many victims of Che and his firing squad. But when del Toro dedicated his award to Che himself, the audience cheered.

NARRATION： Years ago, D'Rivera sent a letter to Benicio Del Toro in which he explained who the real Che was.He also wrote an open letter to Santana after his Oscar Performance in which the musician wore a Che shirt underneath a cross.

PAQUITO: That is like entering a synagogue with a swastika on your chest. That doesn't make any sense.

NARRATION： Just the sight of a swastika fills us with dread, and for good reason. Adolph Hitler was one of the world』s most notorious mass murderers.
That's why the British tabloids unloaded on Prince Harry when he wore a Nazi uniform to a costume party. But when the prince hits the town with a Che shirt, it』s just an opportunity to make a cute pun. Havana laugh. Get it?

NARRATION： We're rightly horrified by fascist murderers; why aren』t also we horrified by communist killers?

NARRATION： Certainly, Che's body count isn't anywhere near Hitler's. But what about someone Che idolized, someone who he might have liked to wear on his chest?

KAI CHEN Che, Castro all these people, all the communist regimes idolized only one thing that Mao personified─violence.

NARRATION： Communist dictator Mao Zedong ruled China when Kai Chen was growing up there. Chen played professional basketball in China, but his was far from the celebrity life of an NBA star.

KAI CHEN: You have no right to talk and you have no right to think.

NARRATION： As he did for all Chinese, Mao monitored Chen's every move, word, and thought.

KAI CHEN:They effectively eliminated your ability to question anything.

NARRATION： Questioning Mao's authority was especially dangerous.

KAI CHEN: If you start questioning you're in danger. Not just yourself, but your whole family.

NARRATION： Chen's relatives were kidnapped and forced into labor camps; people were hauled off and killed all around him. And Mao's iron-fisted economic polices created a massive famine that killed 20 million peasants.

KAI CHEN: People start eating each other, eating kids. Parents can't even stand eating their own kids. They exchanged their kids with their neighbors.

NARRATION： Calculating communism's death toll is a difficult task, but one taken on by The Black Book of Communism.

The book』s authors, themselves former communists, estimate that Mao is
responsible for the deaths of 65 million people.That's vastly more than even Hitler's body count.

KAI CHEN: Mao is a murderer, the biggest mass murderer in human history.

NARRATION ： Certainly no one would use the image of the biggest mass murderer in human history to move merchandise. Then again, maybe Mao is the new Che.

You can buy Mao watches, commuter mugs, caps, and t-shirts. You can go all-out kitsch and tell the world that Mao is your homeboy. Just a couple miles from Chen's Los Angeles home, he encounters a store selling Mao shirts. And a few doors down, there's a restaurant named after Mao.

KAI CHEN: If there』s an emblem in there with swastika, how people gonna react?

NARRATION： Can you imagine a restaurant called Hitler』s kitchen? Vendors selling Hitler mugs, or t-shirts boasting that Hitler is your homeboy.

KAI CHEN: When I see this I see tears, I see blood.

NARRATION： Neither Chen nor D』Rivera understands why communist killers are considered chic, but each finds his own way to have the last laugh.

KAI CHEN:I sort of crossed Mao』s face.

NARRATION： Chen earned this certificate when his basketball team won the Chinese national championship in 1975.He crossed out Mao's face, but only after he came to America. What would this tiny protest have gotten him in Mao's China?

KAI CHEN : Oh, I wouldn't be standing here (laughs). I wouldn't be standing here talking to you.

PAQUITO : Sometimes it makes me happy when I see someone with those t-shirts.

NARRATION： D'Rivera relishes the irony that a communist would turn into a commodity.

PAQUITO :His success has been in the area of human activity that he hated most─marketing. Che Guevara is the king of marketing. I love it!

SONG:
You are a Che Guevara t-shirt wearer, and you have no idea of who he is.
You are a Che Guevara t-shirt wearer, and you have no idea what he did.
