西方文明的衰落 (1981)

　　Unavailable on home video for many years (except perhaps as a grainy, nth-generation VHS bootleg), Penelope Spheeris' seminal document of the young 1979-1980 Los Angeles punk scene includes chaotic live performances by now-legendary groups like Black Flag (with short-lived lead singer Ron "Chavo Pederast" Reyes), X (giving themselves stick-and-poke tattoos) and the Germs (whose unpredictable lead singer Darby Crash would commit suicide before the film's release) interwoven with talking-head interviews with teenage punks and, most entertainingly, older club owners trying very hard to describe a growing form of music they were clearly unprepared for. The footage of Fear's confrontational set would later grab the attention of John Belushi, who snagged the band a 1981 appearance on Saturday Night Live (and resulted in $20,000 in damage to the studio). - Tom Fritsche 　　译文(2): 佩内洛普 · 斯菲尔斯(Penelope Spheeris)多年来一直未能在家庭录像机上看到(也许除了一部模糊的第九代家庭录像带的盗版) ，她记录了1979年至1980年洛杉矶年轻朋克场景的开创性文件，其中包括现在已经成为传奇的乐队的混乱现场表演，如 Black Flag (主唱 Ron“ Chavo Pederast”Reyes 是短命的主唱)、 X (给自己纹身)和 The Germs (主唱达比 · 克拉什(Darby Crash)会在电影上映前自杀) ，还有与青少年朋克的谈话采访，最有趣的是，老年俱乐部老板非常努力地描述他们显然没有准备。恐惧乐队的对抗性场景的镜头后来引起了约翰 · 贝鲁西的注意，他在1981年的《周六夜现场》中抢到了乐队的演出机会(并导致了演播室2万美元的损失)。汤姆 · 弗里奇
