Session Aces. Keepers of Time. Vocalists. Composers. The sidemen and sidewomen who play the riffs and fills we imitate in the air. When we turn up the radio, chances are we are listening to one of these players. A-listers have them on speed dial. International tour or recording session, who're they gonna call? A "Hired Gun." This feature length one-off documentary introduces the prolific musicians who are virtually unknown to the public. Billy Joel, Whitesnake, P!NK and Metallica are synonymous with their own artistry and success, but who is responsible for their instrumental solos? Who tours with them live?

昨天我看了一个电影，是个法语片<最后的猎人，le dernier trappeur>，片子很很美，同时又有一点淡淡的忧伤，人们该好好思考人与自然的关系了。Trappeur中文翻译成猎人，但所指的是专门利用陷阱和夹子狩猎的猎人。片中男主人公Norman和他的印第安妻子Nebaska生活在远离城镇的大山中，延续传统尊重自然，与大自然和谐的相处。而如今文明的发展，让那种自然和谐的生活越发无处藏身。Norman不得不开辟新的居住地才能捕猎到皮毛动物，他有妻子Nebaska和忠实的雪撬犬相伴。片中虽然没有很多镜头表现两个人在一起的生活，但几个细节让我们可以感受到，他们是很彼此关怀爱护的。Nebaska为劳累的Norman按摩脊背，帮助他建好新的木屋，女人的灵感让Norman那天一定带上猎犬Abas, Norman开始并不喜欢Abas,但结果正是Abas把他从冰水中救出。女人们是很少愿意嫁给一个猎人的，现代的妇女更愿意稳定的生活，住在城镇中。没人愿意把生活系在毫无保障的夹子上的。但Nebaska还是和Norman相依为命的生活在一起。那种纯朴的心灵最美。
