写给伊利亚的信

　　A Feature documentary on the late Elia Kazan.


　　Director Martin Scorsese speaks candidly and passionately about one of his formative filmmaking influences: the late Elia Kazan. Utilizing precisely chosen clips from Kazan's signature films including "On the Waterfront," "A Streetcar Named Desire," "Gentleman's Agreement," "Baby Doll," "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," "A Face in the Crowd," "America, America," and "The Last Tycoon," and interview footage of the director himself, co-directors Scorsese and Kent Jones recount the director's tumultuous journey from the Group Theatre to the Hollywood A-list to the thicket of the blacklist. But most of all, they make a powerful case for Kazan as a profoundly personal artist working in a famously impersonal industry.

即使他在道德人性上并没有银幕上那般光辉，但依然要义无反顾地赞赏他在电影史上留下的“黑色电影”之光，真该好好补补“卡赞"这一课了。

马丁·斯科塞斯真是拍纪录片拍上瘾了，加之他本身也是个迷影人，有关电影的纪录片也是拍了不少。这个只有1个小时的纪录片则是他对伊利亚·卡赞的认识，可以看出卡赞对他的影响之大。可惜之前只看过几部卡赞拍的黑色电影，对这个纪录片中提到的那几部电影了解不多，看来有必要花时间先看看。

斯科塞斯以迷影人、朋友的身份写给在天国的伊利亚.卡赞的一封信，字里行间透露着爱与敬意；也以自己的笔触去着重理解《码头风云》、《伊甸园之东》和《美国，美国》三部片，他说有时候看卡赞的电影就像是在欣赏自己的电影；卡赞也喜欢与不喜欢斯科塞斯的几部电影。

老迈的Marty眼里只有电影人生，没有政治人生。

Kent Jones:"The issue is: how do you talk about Kazan? Because, of course, you can’t not talk about his friendly testimony. "
