似乎本版尚未PO這篇消息我翻譯了文章的前面一小部份後面的就以英文呈現了 ---------------------------------------------------- '9 Muses of Star Empire': Film Review 電影評論:"明星帝國的9 Muses" Jeff Benjamin報導(2013年7月25日紐約) 看了紀錄片"明星帝國的9 Muses"之後,反韓者將完全改變他們的反韓觀感; 這部紀錄片將在北美上市。看了紀錄片"明星帝國的9 Muses"之後,相信反韓者將改變他們的反韓情結。這部紀錄片將在7/26北美上市。此部片將紀錄明星帝國經紀公司培育的女子團體"9 Muses"出道前後的點點滴滴。如果說這部片真實記錄了韓國流行團體的養成,那我們會看到每位成員的辛苦、淚水、挫折及不停歇的練習。 9 Muses團名的構思起於希臘的女神,這個女子團體成員多為模特兒背景出身,並呈現其性感亮眼的一面。片中將看到經紀公司如何選出9 Muses成員,培訓期間有一位成員放棄,經理得趕快再去模特兒公司,從中挑選一位適合人選(和其他八位年齡接近、高挑、會歌舞…等) 加入9 Muses。紀錄片的主角是世羅,她是這個團體最初的隊長。觀眾將看到世羅出道前,很努力用心地去激勵其他成員,遇到練習上的瓶頸也不要放棄,即便是有人曾批評她們出道也不會成功。 Moreover, while the doc highlights the glamorous life of shooting music videos and TV appearances, a dark side emerges in seeing the girls criticized for their makeup or when certain members get minimal TV show screen time. A critical moment of the doc comes when the group finally makes their TV debut and, despite a highly technical performance most Western girl groups could only dream of pulling off, 9 Muses' debut performance of "No Playboy" is considered a disaster. The second half of the doc comes after the "No Playboy" debut when the mood is shifted with an unspoken (or unseen?) newfound focus on excruciatingly hard work. Now, rehearsals are absolutely mandatory even when the girls, bruised and bandaged from a car crash, continue their rigorous practice. A standout tragic moment comes when a sick member is crying in a backroom, telling another, "I can't tell him that I'm sick... they are the type of people who will give a painkiller and make me dance through tears." By the end of the documentary, it's clear 9 Muses' discipline changed the group as the girls rehearse in hallways a minute up until going on stage. But at what cost? The brilliant final scene ends with Sera singing a ballad in a rehearsal room. She tells the camera, "This could have been a beautiful documentary if it was up till our debut," agreeing that their lives became much more rigorous after their flaws were exposed on national TV. The doc leaves the viewer with an uncomfortable emotional stirring, wondering if these performers can truly be happy in the K-pop life, as Sera admits her stress is only relieved when she sings, despite a contradictory teardrop sliding down her face signaling otherwise. Despite a few typos on the translated captions, the documentary's message is clear: "9 Muses of Star Empire" is ultimately an examination of how humans treat each other -- whether you're an artist or a CEO -- while following dreams in the Korean entertainment biz. Directors: Hark-Joon Lee Executive producer: Chung-Oh Bang Producers: Suk-Kee Lee, Style Chosum and Min-Chul Kim, Mich & Films Running time: 82 minutes North American Premiere: July 26 at Film Society of Lincoln Center, as part of its Sound + Vision series, at 4:30 p.m. There is another viewing on July 30 at 8:30 p.m. Get tickets here. Luckily, there is a happy ending for 9 Muses that the documentary doesn't show. The group is back together with nine members, which is beneficial for their namesake. As well, their latest single, "Wild," peaked at No. 18 on the K-Pop Hot 100 chart in May, continuing the group's upward chart climb. 文章出處:http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/k-town/4663593/9-muses-of-star-empire-film-review P.S.好想看完整版呀!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 163.30.111.222
