《被光蒙蔽》的导演分享了布鲁斯对这部电影的回应

Gurinder Chadha can thank her decision to seize the moment for her latest project, "Blinded by the Light."

古林德查达可以感谢她为她的最新项目《被光蒙蔽》抓住时机的决定。

That moment happened a few years ago, when Chadha and her friend spotted legendary singer Bruce Springsteen while on the red carpet at an event.

那一刻发生在几年前，当查达和她的朋友在一个活动的红地毯上发现了传奇歌手布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀。

Chadha, the director of films such as "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Viceroy's House," ran up on Springsteen . Chadha wanted Springsteen's blessing to make a film version of Manzoor's book, "Greetings From Bury Park," which is both a memoir and a love letter to Springsteen and his music.

曾执导过《像贝克汉姆一样弯曲》和《总督的房子》等影片的查达跑到斯普林斯汀面前。查达想得到斯普林斯汀的祝福，查达想把曼佐尔的《来自伯里公园的问候》拍成电影，这既是一本回忆录，也是写给斯普林斯汀和他的音乐的一封情书。

"I went, 'Hi Bruce, my name is Gurinder, I did 'Bend It Like Beckham.' I want to make a movie of this, please can you help us,'" Chadha recalled in an interview with CNN. "He sort of went, 'Sounds good.' And I thought, 'Oh my God, did that just happen?'"

“我说，‘嗨，布鲁斯，我叫古林德，我执导了《像贝克汉姆一样弯曲》。查达在接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时回忆道:“我想把这件事拍成电影，你能帮帮我们吗?”“他说，‘听起来不错。’我想，‘哦，天哪，那是刚刚发生的吗?’”

The film tells the story of Pakistani teen Javed (played by Viveik Kalra), who in 1987 becomes a devotee of Springsteen and his music while coming of age in the British town of Luton.

这部电影讲述了巴基斯坦少年贾维德的故事。1987年，他在英国卢顿长大，成为斯普林斯汀和他的音乐的爱好者。

While Javed struggles to build the life he wants versus what his Muslim father wants for him, he finds solace in the lyrics of Springsteen -- viewed by Javed as a symbol of every man who dreams of a better world.

当贾维德努力营造自己想要的生活，而不是他的穆斯林父亲想要给他的生活时，他从斯普林斯汀(Springsteen)的歌词中找到了慰藉——在贾维德看来，斯普林斯汀是每个梦想更美好世界的人的象征。

Chadha shares that love.

查达分享了这种爱。

She said she was in school when she was first introduced to Springsteen's music. She later saw "The Boss" perform in Wembley Stadium in London in 1985 and was blown away.

她说她第一次接触斯普林斯汀的音乐是在学校里。1985年，她在伦敦温布利球场观看了《老板》的演出，并被震撼了。

"The first time you see Bruce live it's a spiritual thing. The way he does his live sets, there's so much energy, but there's so much integrity about what he's saying and how he introduces his songs," she said. "I was like, 'This is it, this man is just going to change my life.'"

“你第一次看到布鲁斯本人是一件神圣的事情。他现场演出的方式充满活力，但他说的话和如何介绍自己的歌曲是那么的真实。”“我当时想，‘就是他，这个男人将改变我的生活。’”

"I was a hard-bitten fan and then I read an article by Sarfraz in one of the papers and I'm like, 'Oh my God, there's another Asian person that is into Springsteen,'" Chadha said before adding,"That's how we [Chadha and Manzoor] became friends."

查达说:“我是一个铁杆球迷，后来我在一家报纸上读到萨弗拉兹的一篇文章，我想，‘哦，天哪，还有另一个亚洲人喜欢斯普林斯汀。’这就是我们(查达和曼佐尔)成为朋友的方式。”

Tackling the racism in the movie proved to be difficult in a way Chadha hadn't anticipated.

事实证明，要处理影片中的种族主义问题并非易事，而恰达却没有预料到这一点。

She said that when it came time to put together some of the scenes that involved hate groups, her crew told her, "We can't do it, we honestly can't put a swastika on the wall."

她说，当要把一些涉及仇恨团体的镜头组合在一起时，她的工作人员告诉她，“我们不能这么做，说实话，我们不能在墙上画纳粹标志。”

So Chadha did it herself.

所以查达自己做了。

She also had to step in when filming a scene in which some members of a hate group clash with anti-hate protestors during a demonstration.

在拍摄一个场景时，她也不得不介入，在这个场景中，一个仇恨组织的一些成员在游行中与反仇恨抗议者发生冲突。

Chadha said she put that emotion into the first pass of the script and worried if the finished product would be received.

查达说，她在剧本的第一遍就表达了这种感情，担心成品是否会被接受。

The film was hailed both at the Sundance Film Festival at its January debut and by the man she most wanted to impress, Springsteen.

这部电影在圣丹斯电影节 1月首映时受到好评，她最想打动的人是斯普林斯汀。

"He put his arms around me and he said, 'Thank you, thank you for looking after me so beautifully,'" Chadha said of the musician's response after screening the film. "And then he said, 'Don't change a thing and I don't want you to change a thing. It's perfect.'"

“他搂着我说，‘谢谢你，谢谢你这么认真地关注我，’”查达在谈到这位音乐家在电影放映后的反应时说。“然后他说，‘不要改变任何事情，我也不想让你改变任何事情。它是完美的。”
