PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID (1973) - BOB DYLAN POSTERS (Part 2/10)
Bob Dylan’s acting career is pretty thin as he refused many roles he was offered but when his friend, Director Sam Peckinpah, offered him the role of Alias in the 1973 violent Western as well as composing the soundtrack for the movie, Dylan agreed very quickly.
Not only Dylan thoroughly enjoyed the filming despite Peckinpah’s hard drinking - thanks to his befriending of Kris Kristofferson but he also composed one of his best songs ever, Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door and won a Grammy for best soundtrack in 1974.

این فیلم یکی از فیلم های خوب در ژانر وسترن با زیر شاخه (تجدیدنظرطلب) است
revisionist Western
این شاخه از فیلم های وسترن بر خلاف وسترن های سنتی ، کمی واقعگرایانه تر و انتقادی به دوران غرب وحشی نگاه میکند
در این فیلم شخصیت ها و کلیت سرگذشتشان واقعیت تاریخی دارند اما داستان و درون مایه آن دست پرورده ی ایده پردازی های نویسنده ها شده است
از این ها که بگذریم میرسیم به چند نکته جالب در این فیلم
.
⭐اولین نکته : حضور "Bob Dylan باب دیلن" برنده جایزه نوبل ادبی سال 2016 در این فیلم ، هم به عنوان بازیگر و هم آهنگساز و شاعر و خواننده و نوازنده است
باب دیلن نقش الیاس را در این فیلم بازی میکند در کنار آن چند ترانه و آهنگ برای این فیلم میسازد و خودش آنها را میخواند
باب در آن زمان مشهور نبود اما سکانس کلانتر بیکر و مادرش در این فیلم همراه با آهنگ و ترانه و خوانندگیش او را سر زبان ها انداخت
.
این سکانس یکی از بیادماندنی ترین سکانس ها برای دوستداران حرفه ای فیلم های وسترن است چراکه هم قصه اش زیباست و هم باب دیلن برای این تراژدی یکی از معروف ترین ترانه هایش را ساخت و خواند
.
قصه این سکانس اینگونه است که کلانترPat در پیرو دستگیری مجرمBilly به کمک کلانترBaker احتیاج دارد اما او که با مادرش زندگی میکند و خسته از این شهر و مردش است میخواهد قایقی بسازد تا با آن از مسیر رودخانه ای که از کنار شهر میگذرد بتواند خودش را از دست این ناحیه لعنتی خلاص کند
Sheriff Baker :
کلانتر بیکر :
One of these days,
when I get my boat built...
بالاخره یکی از همین روزها قایقم رو میسازم
...I’m gonna drift out of
this damn territory.
و خودم رو از این منطقه لعنتی بیرون میکشم
.
میدانم دوستداران سهراب سپهری وقتی این سطرها را بخواند یاد شعر قایقی خواهم ساخت او میافتند
اما نمیدانم آیا سهراب این فیلم را دیده بود یا نه
.
سکانس را خلاصه وار برایتان گذاشتم تا سرانجامش را ببینید
اما شاهکار این سکانس با ترانه و آهنگ و خوانندگی و نوازندگی باب دیلن کامل میشود
وقتی به ما میفهماند ، آنگاه که مرگ فرا برسد دیگر نه "نشان" ها بدرد میخورند و نه "تفنگ" ها و نه "قایق" های نیمه ساخت 🥺😢
.
این ترانه ، ایرانی پسند هم هست چراکه قافیه دار و استعاره ای است و مفهوم آن غنی و غمی 😅 میباشد در کنار آنکه آهنگی دل نواز هم دارد😊
.
.
.
⭐دومین نکته : سرگذشت فاجعه بار خوده این فیلم است به طوری که در مرحله تدوین فیلم بین سرمایه گذارها و کارگردان چنان اختلاف شدیدی در میگیرد که افتضاح ترین تدوین کاری کارگردان رخ میدهد کارگردان که فیلم را در 165 دقیقه درست کرده بود مجبور میشود آنرا به 106 دقیقه کاهش دهد و آنرا آماده نمایش روی پرده سینما کند و نتیجه آن یک شکست واقعی از طرف منتقدین برای فیلم بود
اکثر مردم دنیا بخصوص ایرانی ها هم همان نسخه دوبله 106 دقیقه را دیدند که خب معلوم است نپسندند
.
کمپانی صاحب اثر بعدها در سال 2005 یک نسخه یک ساعت و پنجاه و پنج دقیقه و شانزده ثانیه یعنی 115 دقیقه آماده میکند که به طور کل نظر منتقدین را عوض میکند
از ویکیپدیا :
این نسخه منجر به کشف مجدد و ارزیابی مجدد فیلم شد و بسیاری از منتقدان آن را به عنوان یک شاهکار گمشده تحسین کردند. شهرت فیلم از زمان انتشار این نسخه به طور قابل توجهی افزایش یافته است و فیلم به عنوان چیزی شبیه به یک کلاسیک مدرن در نظر گرفته میشود
.
.
یک نسخه 124 دقیقه ای "پیش نمایش" قبل از افتضاح 106 دقیقه ای برای منتقدین آماده شده بود که پس از دیدن آن ، آنرا به عنوان بهترین فیلم کارگردان تحسین کردند اما در نهایت 106 دقیقه ای اکران شد
.
شایعه ها برای وجود نسخه های دیگر زباد هست مثل سرگذشت واقعی شخصیت مجرمBilly در فیلم ، من خودم بعد از سعی فراوان نسخه قابل قبول 2005 را دیدم و خیلی خوشم آمد اما دوست داشتم نسخه 124 دقیقه ای آنزا که وجودش اثبات شده ببینم ولی نشد
بله ، وقتی قیچی و چسب خوب کار کند میشود "تدوین" در غیر اینصورت سانسوری بیش نیست حال به هر بهانه ای !
یاد فیلم رضاموتوری مسعود کیمیایی افتادم با آن مدل تدوین و نسخه های متعددش

...because it’s a bad movie. I don’t begrudge anybody their cult movie favorites, but so few people have heard of Goncharov that there’s a joke going around that it doesn’t exist and people have made it up just to troll. Ironically the things that have won it acclaim as a cult success are the very things that doom it as a work. You need look little further than the box office reception for proof.
Check out the top grossing movies of 1973 and you’ll notice that Goncharov doesn’t make the list. The Exorcist tops things out with a gross of $193 million. The bottom spot goes to Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid with $8 million. Goncharov on the other hand was a commercial failure at release, barely recouping its unnecessarily bloated budget. Not that the budget was big, it was really a shoestring, but a list of production issues and re-shoots ate more and more time and money just to get something out the door.
Now I’m not trying to argue that box office revenue is all that matters for a good movie. It doesn’t at all. But in the case of Goncharov, the box office flop is informed by the way the film was made and thus informs its unique problems.
You see, Goncharov was filmed on location in Naples in the early 1970s during one or perhaps two extended “vacations” for most of the cast in the film. Highly unusual. But that’s sort of how things work when Stefano Pessina of Walgreens Boots Alliance (then Petrone Group) has an urge to play in an American mobster movie. He footed the bill himself (or rather convinced his daddy to), and the mess they shot was largely derivative and not worth any notice.
Scorsese wasn’t even involved until De Niro and Keitel approached him for help. Doing what he could to piece together what he assessed as workable bones, Scorsese tied together formerly loose threads and themes (notably the clock motif wasn’t nearly as significant before he took to work on it). The biggest thing is that he insisted on re-shoots as possible, adding new scenes, cutting scenes entirely, and notably excising all but a cameo of former star Pessina--the man can’t act. But he was paying the bills and while he’d find himself lucky to break even on the venture, his checkbook did at least allow the thing to see the light of day. Saved as much as possible by Scorsese’s talented eye.
All that cut material was saved, possibly at Pessina’s insistence, and has found its way to the public in the half century since its debut. Which has resulted in a number of new cuts and editions. It’s a favorite for film students to practice editing because the copious extra scenes allow wildly varying stories to be told. Since most people aren’t even aware of the movie in the first place, those that see it happenstance may well have found an unofficial edition. This is why we see many wildly varying “canonical” scenes. They all exist, but very few of them actually showed up in Scorsese’s theatrical release back in ‘73.
This is also why it’s lauded on that famous poster with “Martin Scorsese presents.” Despite his extensive work directing re-shoots and new scenes, editing and producing, Scorsese saw it for the train wreck it was and chose to distance himself from the thing. Al Pacino once joked in a TV Guide interview that he wished he had been “able to distance my name from it in that manner. I think we all do.”
Look, who among us has watched Mean Streets or Serpico? Both of those are better works than Goncharov and came out that same year. For a modern audience they would have worked just as well for this joke. Except then instead of topping it off with the ultimate punchline of hunting down the thing and being disappointed you wasted two hours of your life, Mean Streets or Serpico would be enjoyable watches. So save yourself some disappoint and go watch one of those instead.

Kris Kristofferson recalls, "Bob Dylan and I spent a lot of time chatting in our trailers while making the movie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973), and I told him about my friend Willie Nelson. I asked Bob, 'Why isn't Willie famous? He's a genius.'
So, the next day, Bob calls Willie up and gets him to come down to the set, and he made him play his old Martin guitar for ten hours straight. They ended up doing all these old Django Reinhardt tunes. It was fabulous."
Willie Nelson stated in his memoir, "Django Reinhardt was a man who changed my musical life by giving me a whole new perspective on the guitar and, on an even more profound level, on my relationship with sound…During my formative years, as I listened to Django's records, especially songs like 'Nuages' that I would play for the rest of my life, I studied his technique. Even more, I studied his gentleness. I love the human sound he gave his acoustic guitar."
