Mosquito Capital of the World 4am on what the script describes as'a pampas road far into the countryside'. Our 'road movie' is takingshape in bits and pieces by a slip road two hours south of Buenos Aires. Leslie sleeps/Tony eats. Tony drinks/Leslie sulks. Tony tries tothump some sound out of the car radio/Leslie can't read the map. Theyargue. Leslie leaves. Tony cries. We start shooting justafter dawn has broken. Leslie leaves Tony in a fog both real andmetaphorical across a vast, grassy space dissected by the approach roads to thePatagonia Highway. This distances are huge. Leslie walks and Tonychases. Everyone's out of breath. We're almost out of film, each take isso long. I sit in the long grass trying to keep my hand-held camera alittle steadier than my nerves. Five seconds into the next five-minutetake, my hand stings. Then my left cheek.... and my rightear. I hear the sounds of many hands slapping much flesh. Myassistant slaps my thigh. There's a sudden piercing pain in myballs. Wong himself finally can't take it any more. He shouts out,'Cut!' I jump up screaming, ' Welcome to the mosquito capital of theworld!' 世界蚊子之都 凌晨4点,在剧本里所谓 “通向遥远乡村的南美草原的路上”。我们的“公路电影”开始零零碎碎的在布宜诺斯艾利斯以南两个小时的一条岔道上成形了。Leslie睡觉/Tony吃饭。Tony喝饮料/Leslie生闷气。Tony敲打汽车收音机试图让它发出声音/Leslie不会看地图。他们争吵。Leslie离开。Tony哭泣。我们在刚刚破晓时开始拍摄。通往Patagonia高速路的通道截断了广袤的草地,Leslie把Tony抛弃在既真实又有象征性的雾里。这个距离是极大的。Leslie在走;Tony在追。每个人都上气不接下气。我们几乎没胶片了,每个镜头都这么长。我坐在长草里,努力让我的手持摄相机比我的神经更稳定一些。下一个五分钟的拍摄才过了五秒,我的手感到一阵刺痛。然后,是我的左脸......接着是我的右耳。我听到许多双手拍打我的皮肉的声音。我的助手在拍打我的大腿。突然,从我的蛋蛋处传来一阵撕心裂肺的痛。王(家卫)自己终于坚持不住了。他大喊:“Cut(停)!”我跳起来尖叫道:“欢迎来到世界蚊子之都!”
