I wanted to watch a movie, but after swiping the current "hot movies" several times, I didn't see one I liked, so I turned out the treasured "Bodyguard".
It was "The Bodyguard" that I watched twelve years ago, but at that time I felt like I was watching it for the sake of watching it. The plot was basically forgotten, and I didn't know that the male protagonist was Kevin Coase, who was very fond of "Dancing With Wolves" later. Turner. In fact, the plot, themes and characters of this movie are very general. The older sister, who can guess the ending from the beginning, is jealous of her younger sister. The murderer behind the scenes is a routine story of the relatives around him, but the soundtrack in it is known to everyone, and even represents In an era of "Oscars", coupled with the ending of Whitney Houston's true fate in life, it makes people sigh.
But the famous song I Will Always Love You from "The Bodyguard" had been heard before watching the movie. In junior high school, I was still listening to tapes. These "Oscar" song tapes became the only thing I could find in town to see the outside world, and perhaps subtly established my later love for movies. Base. When I heard it at the time, I felt that this song was extraordinary: the long prelude was a cappella singing, which requires technical skills; when the a cappella ended, the background music played, and the sentence "And I..." officially entered the soothing lyrical main song; then it became more and more exciting. , the narrative lyrics of the story, the sobbing saxophone, even just watching the tape spinning in the single player, you can feel the saxophonist's bulging mouth and Whitney's deep affection; six consecutive I Will Always Love You makes the whole song reach a climax, like circling in my head, high-pitched and in one go; the last note is tactful, and the word "You" is dragged and stretched like a thread. At this time, the background music is played, and the emotion on the chest is also finally let go.
This is a song that can give people goosebumps and requires a high degree of technical and emotional control. Whitney's manly voice, even a little vague, seems to be born to interpret this song, so she also left a famous song for the world that is challenged by all kinds of singers, but from beginning to end, Only Whitney Houston can sing this song.
Whitney's song has been with me all through high school. "Bodyguard" and other famous songs, I Have Nothing, Run To You, together with Where Do Broken Hearts Go, etc., were brought together in Whitney's 2001 album "Love, Whitney". This is the only album of hers I've ever bought, and I've listened to every song in it, and 90% of it is my favorite. That year, I loved someone. At ten o'clock in the evening, I wore headphones and listened to I Will Always Love You. On the walkway in Binjiang Park, on the street under Chonglong Mountain at the intersection of Chengbei, the figure under the street lamp, the dim yellow The lighting and the soulful saxophone playing in the song are still as fresh as yesterday in my memory.
In movies and on stage, Whitney is dazzling, but life is a different life: a broken marriage, drug addiction. In 2012, she was found drowned in a hotel bathroom, and a generation of superstars fell, with a sad ending. I sometimes pull out a live video of her at the Oscars, that technique, that emotion, that she was born to be a songstress, it's just that she's gone, that's all in the past. In this world, after removing the beautiful brilliance, life is mostly the same.
I've bought a lot of Oscar tapes, and I've actually bought them all over the place - I've gotten to know them so well, but every time I see a new one, I can't help but buy them. The Oscar albums represent an era of music I listened to, a period of youth linked to my middle school days. These tapes record the people I missed and the love I had. There are two songs in it, one is My Heart Will Go On, and the other is I Will Always Love You, which is my favorite. Without these two songs, it would not be called Oscar in my eyes.
