看《cars 汽车总动员》怎可不了解美国传奇的 Route 66
美国传奇的66号公路,是这部片子的情感主线,我觉得大家看片子应该多了解一下66号公路在美国人心中的地位,会体会到这部片子所暗藏的另一种怀旧心情。
66号公路东起繁华大都市芝加哥,西至加利福尼亚州的圣莫尼卡,全长4000多公里,共穿越8个州。
它的传奇色彩不仅源于曾是美国东西交通的大动脉,还因为它在美国人开拓西部的历史上起到了重要作用。
19世纪末,66号公路还是一条只能走马车的土路。
1926年,政府投资将断断续续的道路连接起来,历时十余年终于竣工。这一修建工程为大萧条时期的美国提供了上万个就业岗位,成为当时众多工人维持生计的救命稻草。
历史上,中西部还经历过一场大干旱,上千平方公里的土地变成了寸草不生的荒地。
66号公路再一次成为穷困潦倒的农民的救命线。
当时许多人收拾起仅有的家当,沿着这条惟一通往加利福尼亚的公路逃亡至西部去开拓新的生活。
因此,66号公路被美国人看作是当年追寻美梦的康庄大道。
片尾的主题歌名字就叫《Route
66》,1964年的老歌,超好听,歌中唱出了关于route
66的一切,包括起点、终点、长度以及沿途的经过地,和其他美国老乡村摇滚一样有很多人演唱,不过片中用的不是原唱The
Rolling
Stones乐队的,节奏比原唱稍慢,也没有原唱的乡村感觉强烈。
