电影 <The Prophecy>

剧情
PROPHECY的故事是讲天使、嫉妒和杀戮。
天使因为嫉妒而杀戮。——嫉妒人类。相互杀戮。第一次天使战争是因为相互嫉妒,第二次天使战争是因为嫉妒人类。因由在于神。
神遗弃天使,宠爱人类,把灵魂分给人类。杀戮因此而起。
"and there were angels who could not accept the lifting of man above them, and like Lucifer, rebelled against the armies of the loyal archangel Michael and there rose the second war in heaven."
"No one trust an angel."(sounds familiar?you are right~)
********
THOMAS在晋升为牧师的典礼上,看到了天堂里地狱一样的景象,天使被拔掉羽毛,双眼变成漆黑的洞,惨叫的声音和扭曲的面容……
THOMAS:“some people lose their faith because Heaven shows them too little,
but how many people lose their faith because heaven shows them too much?”
THOMAS放弃了成为神职人员,做了联邦警员。
他依然没有忘记对天堂的怀疑。
“Even now in heaven there were angel are carrying their savage weapons”
他在回忆教皇书中的这句话。
回到住所的THOMAS,看到一个陌生人,蹲在椅子靠背上。
这个陌生人问他:“Do you believe you are still a part of the God's plan?"
因为看到更多,而背弃信仰,也是神的计划之一吗?
那个陌生人是天使,SIMON。
曾经和GABRIEL一起在第一次天使战争中,把LUCIFER赶出天堂。
但是,这一次,他的阵线改变了。
THOMAS从被SIMON杀死的另一只天使身上找到一本类似预言及历史的书。
翻译出来,于是知道了天堂第二次战争的存在。神把自己的灵魂分给人类,引起部分天使,如GABRIEL, 的嫉妒。战争因此开始。
书中有一句预言一样的东西。谈到黑色灵魂,这个黑色灵魂吞吃其他黑色灵魂,变得十分强大,而天使身体中无法承担这灵魂,只有人类……的战士。
GABRIEL想找到这个灵魂,认为这可以重新恢复被彼父关爱的时代。
一个警员问THOMAS,"why not the God get rid of the bad angel?"
Thomas said:" I don't know, maybe he can't, maybe he won't."
这是很大的差别。
后来,SIMON在一个死去的将军口中吸出了灵魂,身体因为无法承受而濒临死亡。
那将军是二战时候,中国战场上的人渣。
SIMON无法继续承受之前,把黑色灵魂给了当地一个小女孩。MARY。
接着,如所预期,SIMON 被GABRIEL找到。
然后开始争辩。
GABRIEL说:“I will not allow any talking monkeys to take my place,
I will burn down heaven to stop it。”
GABRIEL说:“I don't want to be God, I just want to make it like it was before the lie."
他很抓狂。被神遗弃。
-----这个问题后来THOMAS也提到了。
THOMAS说:" I had a voice. that called me to my God. that called me to church.
but that day I need the voice the most.
it left me. It's better that never knowing the voice."
SIMON抚着GABRIEL的脸,悲伤地说:"when was it did you lose your grace?.......
I'm not sure who is right, who is wrong, but it doesn't matter,
sometime you just do what you told, that is who we are."
天使。如果这是他们的责任,那么是听谁的命令?
"Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone,or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing,
he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like?
A whole existence spent praising your God,
but always with one wing dipped in blood.
Would you ever really want to see an angel?"
得到黑色灵魂的MARY生病了,天使SIMON被杀了,联邦警员THOMAS也来了。
背景故事也讲完了。
(众:什么?………)
嗯,背景,就LUCIFER(VIGGO MORTENSEN)出场10分钟不到而言的背景,也就是整个电影啦,HOHO~~
********
MARY的老师KATHERINE把MARY带到当地土著巫师的地方去除灵。
夜晚,不安的KATHERINE走出屋子,凝望远方。
Lucifer: Hello, Katherine.We must talk.
K:oh...my God.
Lucifer: God?God is love. I don't love you.
K: I can....can't do this.
Lucifer :I can lay you out and fill you mouth with your mother's feces or we can talk.
K: Are you one of them?
Lucifer:Them?
K:Are you an angel?
Lucifer:hmm.. I am the first angel, love once above all others, a perfect love.(sing)but like all true love, one day it withered on the vine.(我是第一个天使,拥有至高无上完美的爱..(唱)但是,如同所有的真爱,总有一天枯萎如藤蔓.)
Katherine look at Lucifer with fearful tears eyes.
Lucifer:(inhales) ahh, the winged party boy is about,
come to feed on the guts of little Mary?
K:Are you part of it?
Lucifer:no, Katherine.
other angel made this war because they hate you.
you and all humans.
God put you in his grace and push them aside.
And they are desperate.
They are never been conquer the other loyal angel.
And so this has remained in stalemate for
thousand of years and while the state of
affairs endures.
No soul can meet his god.
You parents and their parents and so on, from the beginning.
Lie still in wormy earth.
Of course, some of them do come to me eventually.
For a while, heaven may be closed,
but I am always open, even on Christmas.
(A yellow rose shows up in Lucifer's hand)
Gabriel has a plan,
human--and how I love you talking you monkeys for this,
know more about war and treachery of spirit than any angel.
Gabriel is very aware of this,
and has found a way to steal the blackest soul on earth fight for him.
If he wins, heaven opens.
(Lucifer eat the rose)
I know that this new heaven will just be another hell.
You see, I am not here to help you little bitch because I love you or because I care for you,
but because two hell is one hell too many.
I cannot have that.
What I am offering you is a little chace not only to save mary,
but finally heaven to you kind, what do you say?
THOMAS知道以后,跑到LUCIFER出现的地方,让他有话跟他说.
LUCIFER没有马上出现.
THOMAS向KATHERINE诉说了被神谕抛弃的绝望.
后来,THOMAS准备迎战GABRIEL的时候,LUCIFER 出现了,从后面抚摸他的肩膀,然后抱住他.
THOMAS不敢回头.
Lucifer:Little Tommy Dagget,
How I loved listening your little sweet prayers very night.
and you jump in your bed, so afraid I was under there. and I was.
Do you know what hell really is?Thomas.
It is not lake of burning oil and chains of ice.
It is being remove from god's sight, have its word taking from you.
It is hard to believe...so hard..I know that better than anyone.
And there is your weapon.
Think, thomas, think..
What is the one thing essential to an angel?
the thing that holds his entire being together?
(想想,对于天使,什么为他们唯一的根本,是什么熔铸着他们的存在?)
Thomas: faith, faith..faith.
Lucifer: and what would happen of the faith
was tested and angel ,just like you didn't understand?
(那么,如果,这样的信仰在无法了解毫不知情的情况下被考验评测,象你这样的,天使又会怎样?)
use that! use it.
LUCIFER离开了。
夜晚,GABRIEL追到了。
Thomas:your war is a lie! it is not about human. it is about God.
Thomas: why didn't you just ask him? ask God?
这个问题,让GABRIEL非常痛苦。
Gabriel: because....he didn't talk to me anymore.
++++++
MARY除灵的时候,天使与人类在打架。
天使被击中。
LUCIFER出现,阻止了THOMAS的持续攻击。
Lucifer: long time.
Gabriel: This war is mine.
Lucifer: Your war is arrogance. It makes evil. that is mine.
Gabriel: Lucifer, sitting in you basement, sulking over your breakup with the boss. you are nothing.
(LUCIFER脸色变了。)
Lucifer:Time to go home, Gabriel.
黑色灵魂被吐出来。
然后被神收回去。
LUCIFER 要THOMAS 和 KATHERINE跟他回家。
被拒绝。
THOMAS 直视LUCIFER,他说:
I have my soul, I have my faith, and what do you have ........angel?
Lucifer保持平静:Leave the light on...Thomas.
走出屋子,LUCIFER在晨光中化成很多只黑色的乌鸦,离开。

Comments
☆Lucifer没有失去他的优雅,虽然天使以丑恶残暴的面目行走人间。
★Lucifer永远都依然是天使。作为标识,背负烙刻,无法摆脱,不断证辩。
☆关于Lucifer的堕落。Isaiah 14:12-15 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."
★听朋友说,Lucifer曾经是宇宙中最庄严华美高贵美丽的生灵,在火焰与钻石上行走,拥有傲慢绝美的背叛者魅力。
