7. When I was a teenager, back in the 1980s, musical taste was a line in the sand. If you didn’t like certain records — punk rock and affiliated genres, mostly — I wasn’t sure I could like you. Tastes mellow with age, but I kind of feel that way about “We Are the Best!,” Lukas Moodysson’s ebullient celebration of the adolescent punk-rock spirit, circa 1982. The story couldn’t be simpler: Three middle-school girls in Sweden start a band. Only one of them can play an instrument, but when has that ever mattered? Their anthem “Hate the Sport” is the song of the year, whatever year it happens to be.
7.我的青少年時期正值20世紀(jì)80年代,在那個時候,音樂品味就像是一道底線。如果你不喜歡某些專輯(主要是朋克搖滾之類的),我肯定也不喜歡你。品味會隨著年齡增長而變得溫和,但我對《我們是最棒的!》(We Are the Best!)還是有同感。魯卡斯·穆迪森(Lukas Moodysson)的這部影片大約發(fā)生在1982年,熱情地贊美了青春期的朋克精神。故事情節(jié)不可能更簡單了:三個瑞典的中學(xué)女孩組了一支樂隊。她們當(dāng)中只有一個人會玩樂器,但這又有什么關(guān)系。她們的圣歌《討厭體育》(Hate the Sport)不管在哪一年都堪稱年度歌曲。
