江山如畫，一時多少豪傑，2008的歐美電影音樂有多少精彩的面向呢？
2008才到十月，但是許多的電影節活動已經試著要替過去這一年的電影作品打分數了，預定十月十八日頒獎揭曉的比利時根特影展一向關注電影音樂，評審團選
出的年度入圍作品名單相當程度反應了過去一年精彩的歐美電影配樂成績，每一回我都會對照這份入圍名單，看看自己的收藏是不是能與歐美影人的選擇相近，如果
他們選中的作品，我毫無所悉，就會迫不及待去補貨，去聆聽，今年的心情可以直接用這句話表達：「哇，入圍作品我都有。」
但是任何的影展或競賽都有其局限，例如戴斯培過去這一年最精彩的作品其實不是《黃金羅盤》，而是《色，戒》，但是《色，戒》在歐美市場的曝光率遠不如《黃金羅盤》，所以年度作曲家入圍名單只提他的《黃金羅盤》，卻漏了《色，戒》，讓人不免有憾。
電影獎的功能除了肯定最佳作品外，發掘年度現象或者聚焦遺珠，也是必要的作為，雖然爭議難免，引發的爭議浪潮也許遠比四平八穩的保守作風，來得更有意義，例 如《黑金企業》的電影配樂其實是最挑戰觀眾耳朵的挑戰，大量的弦樂總是在劇情即將逆轉或劇變時就先跳出來，觀眾得以先聞嗅即將變色的風雲，揣測主角的心情 變化，甚至還會有完全出格又對立的感情對話，音樂因而性格鮮明的另一個角色，堪稱是2008年最敢實驗與衝撞的音樂作品。
根特影展的評審團能夠照顧到這部作品，讓JONNY GREENWOOD的創意成為公眾討論的焦點，其實也是擴展電影音樂討論議題的明智決定。因為，若不提名，肯定就不會有人討論，；一旦提名，就等於提供給 反對與支持的人一個討論平台，讓電影音樂的功能議題成為聚焦話題，畢竟所有的評獎都只反應了投票人的品味，不定於一尊，提供多元思考空間，更是有限的入圍 名單中所能發揮的最積極的辯論作為。
同樣地，西恩．潘的《行向曠野》明顯是一部被台灣影迷忽略的作品，片商沒有發行，連ＤＶＤ也遲遲沒有 上市，讓台灣影迷不能品評電影傑出的詩學美感與音樂風華，實在可惜，尤其電影中使用的吉他音樂效果份外迷人，主題歌曲「GUARANTEDE」的壓軸一 句：「我知道所有的規則，但是規則並不知道我。」更將青年冒險家隻身進入曠野，追尋簡樸人生的孤單卻堅定信念做了最貼切的詮釋，但是電影沒有發行上市，所 以即使電影原聲帶可以在唱片行裡買到，有人譯作《荒野生存》，有人譯作《行向曠野》，莫衷一是的譯名就可能讓影迷與這張精彩的原聲帶擦身而過，那就真是讓 人扼腕了。
以下就是今年根特影展世界電影音樂獎的入圍名單，十月十八日頒獎，我會在十一月的台北愛樂電台「電影最前線」節目中介紹這些入圍和得獎的作品。

American writer Dan Bloom, who lives in Chiayi, recently interviewed a
book publisher in New York, who told him about Ang Lee's new movie
"Taking Woodstock."
Ang Lee (李安), 53,is making a new movie "Taking Woodstock", and it is
based on a USA book USA gay writer Elliot Tiber .
The book was published in 2007 by a in New York, subtitled ''A True
Story of a Riot, a Concert, and a Life'', ... the movie will have its
premiere in New York on June 26, 2009 ― ― for the 40th anniversary of
the 1969 Woodstock festival. The three-day concert took place in the
middle of August 1969.
Rudy Shur is the president of Square One Publishers, a book company in
New York,
Shur recently told DAN BLOOM how the book was sold to Ang Lee for his new movie
RUDY SHUR SAID
"Two friends of mine told me about a man they knew who had a very
interesting and unique 'story' to tell, and they asked me to call him
and see for myself if the memoir project ― still unwritten ― would
make a good book. After talking to Elliot Tiber, now 72, and listening
to his story about Woodstock in the '60s, I told him that it would
make a terrific book, but that our book company usually didn't publish
those types of memoirs and that he would be better off with a larger
publishing house that had more experience and marketing clout."
"I decided that maybe it was time to take a chance with this kind of
book, and since it was my company, well, I would do as good a job as I
could," "So I called Elliot up and said 'Lets go for it.'"
"The story he wanted to tell was basically all Elliot, but to tell it
in a manner that presented a balanced story in the way that I was
looking for meant calling in a co-writer, Tom Monte,"
"Elliot's normal writing style was very creative and
stream-of-consciousness, but I wanted more of a traditional story
narrative. I had worked with Monte before, so I signed him to put
Elliot's material into the style I was looking for.
The title of the book, and the movie, is interesting . RUDY Shur said
the title was the idea of marketing director, Anthony Pomes.
"We had lots of titles in mind, but Taking Woodstock seemed to fit
best based on the story," "We felt the title meant two things: Taking
stock of your life and, in a sense, control of your destiny ― and also
taking the experience of Woodstock, and what that cultural event
meant, with you for the rest of your life."
"Woodstock was a moment of freedom as well as a coming of age for a
new generation in America,"
"So we used that title for the book, and Lee and Schamus are using it
for the movie as well. We are happy."
How did the book find its way to Ang Lee's house?
"It will sound like a Hollywood myth, but it really happened this
way," RUDY SHUR TOLD DAN BLOOM . "Tiber was scheduled to appear on a
West Coast television show to promote the book, and while he was
waiting in the green room to go on the show, who should sit down next
to him, by pure chance, but Ang Lee."
It turns out that Lee was also scheduled to appear on that same
interview show to promote his latest film, Lust, Caution (色,戒).
"Elliot," "introduced himself and spent the next hour chatting with
him about his book."
"Well, when Lee went on the show, the host finished the interview by
asking Lee where he usually got his ideas from for his movies, and Lee
said that he really doesn't go looking for stories, that they seem to
come to him. And with that he turned to Elliot, who was sitting across
from him, and gave him a sly wink."
"Nothing really happened until about five months later, when Lee had
finally read the book," "Lee and Schamus felt there was a movie here,
and together they went to upstate New York to visit the Yasgur's Farm
site where the Woodstock festival took place. Elliot joined them there
at the site, and the project was in the can. The agents finalized the
deal, everything was signed, and here we are. It looks like Lee was
right: in this case, the next movie project really did just seem to
come to him."
", in my dreams I would have never thought someone like Ang Lee and
James Schamus, two Academy Award winners who would buy my book "
it's just my personal review
