7. When I was a teenager, back in the 1980s, musical taste was a line in the sand. If you didn’t like certain records — punk rock and affiliated genres, mostly — I wasn’t sure I could like you. Tastes mellow with age, but I kind of feel that way about “We Are the Best!,” Lukas Moodysson’s ebullient celebration of the adolescent punk-rock spirit, circa 1982. The story couldn’t be simpler: Three middle-school girls in Sweden start a band. Only one of them can play an instrument, but when has that ever mattered? Their anthem “Hate the Sport” is the song of the year, whatever year it happens to be.
7.我的青少年时期正值20世纪80年代,在那个时候,音乐品味就像是一道底线。如果你不喜欢某些专辑(主要是朋克摇滚之类的),我肯定也不喜欢你。品味会随着年龄增长而变得温和,但我对《我们是最棒的!》(We Are the Best!)还是有同感。鲁卡斯·穆迪森(Lukas Moodysson)的这部影片大约发生在1982年,热情地赞美了青春期的朋克精神。故事情节不可能更简单了:三个瑞典的中学女孩组了一支乐队。她们当中只有一个人会玩乐器,但这又有什么关系。她们的圣歌《讨厌体育》(Hate the Sport)不管在哪一年都堪称年度歌曲。
