告密者美版

像这样一部黑色现实题材的片子
我不给5星都难啊

故事不做累述。
若想质疑其真实度，可以稍稍wiki，再买书看。
虽然我也没看过，但以史为鉴，可以辨别。

我要说的不是这个现实问题怎么解决，
也不是对我们有什么启示，
毕竟说了也没多少人会在意，
更何况还说不清楚。

我依然喜欢提的还是关于人的问题。
你说为什么有些人可以丧心病狂，有些人可以十恶不赦，
有些人可以视而不见听而不闻？
嘿，但终究还是有些人可以fight for Justice。尤其还是one women's fight for Justice

嘿嘿 要我说，这还是生命力的问题。
这也是我标题的意思。
如果说，我们腐朽的体制和环境会慢慢腐蚀人的心灵，那么生命力越是旺盛的家伙，越是难以被蚕食和消灭。

所谓死人脸，影片中给的很到位。
就是满脸颓废，或者面瘫样，或者呆滞，或者害怕和恐惧。
死人的世界不消说就是——地狱。

不过这是在人间，所以还不全是死人。
还有几个骷髅头。
稍微注意一下：影片里给我们这正派的镜头角度都是有棱有角的“骷髅头”形象。

一脸死气是因为灵魂中缺少了点东西，
或者说内心早已被蒙蔽，一种将死未死的状态。
而骷髅头，就是死过的人，而且死的非常彻底，以至于历经多年都没有消失的白骨。

到底有着多么重的怨念啊~
2次失败婚姻，被判给丈夫的女儿，再加一次异域的有妇之夫.....
这个骷髅真是太硬了。够硬，所以够英雄。

所谓生命力，总是在自然法则中运行的。
自然界有着同化和异化作用，但是最终还是有无法同化的东西
可以同化的就被吸收，不能被同化的就被排泄到外界去更自由也更辗转的循环。而我们的社会也差不多。
所以顺便说一句，如果以后有人骂你是一坨屎，可以把它当做赞赏。

   对于一个纪录电影来说，挖掘的深度已经到达了对人性拷问的程度。印象最深的是女主问女孩子你到底和不和我走的时候。剧情在两个女人的对峙下达到情绪的高潮。用女性主义的角度去剖析它是很简单的。无论是开头女主因为热爱工作，而没能得到女儿的监护权；还是故事发生地点是一个男性占大多数的公司；被虐待女孩的照片成为缺失女性权利最有力的佐证。对，我说这是很简单的观点因为我觉得女性主义已经被用烂了。研究生什么都可以套上一套理论。即使有理有据，但只是乘前人之荫。所以对于女主和女二的对峙上升到对人性懦弱的展现，作为观众表示十分惊喜。
  要说主旨精神，这部片子和真探的基调十分相似。都是质疑人类在罪恶面前是否会屈服于权利和诱惑。描绘的人性阴暗面又和处女之死挺像的。处女们和妓女们在影片的最后都没有得到拯救。所以这就是为什么我看完这片子心情非常低落。
  最让我惊讶的是看完这个发生在完全不一样世界里的故事居然让我想到了发生在我身边的事。这种屈服于权利，为了暂时的安全而放弃自己的自尊的情节屡屡皆是。最明显的例子就是装逼了。最近又和朋友们讨论起了优越感的来源与生成。来到这辈子读过的第三个大学，我越来越发现人性的弱点都是相似的。好像贬低别人变成了一种天经地义的事情。做什么说什么都可以成为划分自己与他人界限的理由。而因为害怕被孤立和不认可，更是可以牺牲自己的灵魂和自尊与现实世界的既定价值做交换。在电影是用灵魂交换命，那还可以理解。至少女孩子还曾经有勇气站出来指认凶手。我是不懂身边的男男女女。电影里女孩子的代价是生命啊。在极度的恐惧之下做出不明智的决定会让人觉得是一种悲剧的美。换作是我，自问也不一定能把握住自己最后仅存的理智。但身边衣食无忧的年轻人的心理状态我就不甚了解了。牺牲自己牺牲得毫无价值和美感。
   是不是我挖掘出他们的美感我就能写出剧本了。想到这个就心好累。不想再写影评了。不知道还要读多少书才能理解他们。还要担着有生之年都可能理解不了的准备。不多说了。我看书去了。

一名前联合国工作人员透露 国际警察竟是妓院常客
http://www.sina.com.cn 2001年06月15日19:09 北京晚报
　　近日，联合国一名被解雇的国际警察工作队成员向外界披露，部署在波黑的联合国国际警察部队(IPTF)官员本应该恪尽职守，为社会树立典范，却率先违法逛妓院。事件公布后，引起国际关注。

　　博尔科娃被激怒了

　　凯瑟琳·博尔科娃原本是美国内布拉斯加州一名资深警官。两年前，她辞去工作，加入联合国国际警察工作队，并被派往波黑地区调查当地的地下卖淫业。

　　随着工作的深入，博尔科娃开始接触到一些资料，得知她的一些联合国同事竟是这些卖淫妇女的常客，有些甚至卷得更深。她收集到越来越多这方面的资料，也就更加心寒。她在一份报告中讲述了一些外籍军官的所作所为：为被拐卖的卖淫妇女制造假证件，协助她们通过边境检查站入境以及在警察部队的突袭检查前向非法俱乐部的老板通风报信等。

　　去年年初，博尔科娃被降职。同年4月，她被解雇，解聘书上列出的理由是有人控告她伪造工作时间卡。博尔科娃被激怒了，她说，上面根本不想知道事情的真相，他们宁愿对这些证据充耳不闻，视而不见。

　　博尔科娃的故事并不是一个偶然事件。戴维·兰姆在过去两年间曾任联合国人权委员会调查员，在波斯尼亚中部地区进行工作。他说，在工作期间，他与同事定期向上级递交部分国际驻员在波黑犯下不良行径的证据，但得到的却是“不要再深入调查下去”的警告。

　　逛妓院至多被解雇

　　联合国有关官员表示，多数IPTF成员都很好的完成了自己的使命，树立了值得效仿的榜样，但同时也不得不承认，在2000名警察部队中曾有20多人因犯有从收受贿赂到不恰当性行为等过错被解雇。

　　美国国务院发言人查尔斯·亨特承认，在美籍警察工作队成员中就“偶有纪律问题发生”，但是事情通常能得到“迅速、合理并且恰当”的解决。另有美国高级官员承认，美在挑选和训练派驻波黑警察的工作中存在严重问题，因为美国务院把这项工作交给得克萨斯州的一家私人公司经办，这家公司每年可得到美国政府1500万美元的资金。

　　驻波黑的国际警察都享有外交豁免权，对于那些犯罪的国际警察，除非他们本国政府放弃豁免权，否则联合国能够给予他们的最重处罚只不过是将他们遣送回国。

　　国际警察形象何在

　　去年11月，波黑警察在IPTF的协助下，扫荡了波斯尼亚北部一个城镇的三个夜总会，共抓获33名卖淫妇女，其中包括只有14岁的小女孩。第二天，夜总会老板向外界宣称，IPTF此前曾向他索取1万美元保护费遭到拒绝，IPTF恼羞成怒，才发动了这次袭击。

　　卖淫在波黑属非法行为。波黑目前共有两万多名北约维和部队和数千名各种国际援助机构与工作小组成员，卖淫业的繁荣也许与此不无关系。据联合国有关统计数字，各种夜总会和妓院的顾客中有30%是外国人。

　　这些卖淫的妇女来自一些东欧国家。她们抱着做女招待或保姆的幻想来到波黑，但随后被交到妓院老板手里，护照被没收，只好被迫进行性交易。

Talking With Kathryn Bolkovac About Her Experience as The Whistleblower

Posted: 08/16/11 07:48 PM ET

 

After seeing (and reviewing) The Whistleblower, I contacted Kathryn Bolkovac, whose story is the basis of the movie, and interviewed her. Her answers speak for themselves, but also give such a sense of her persona, grit and determination.

FOSTER: You were faced with a situation where the people you worked with were engaged in something very shocking. Do you have any insight as to how or why they got involved with trafficking?

I really do not think there is clear cut answer for this. Everyone is an individual and is accountable to their individual behavior and potential illegal actions they committed and continue to commit in current missions. I think most people are truly just plain complicit in their thinking and tend to not get involved or look the other way to avoid any form of accountability, especially if they think that something does not directly affect them for their position. Then there is the group of people who can easily be swayed to join in on a pack mentality, who are morally and mentally weak or ignorant. When conditions are right as they have been and still are in many overseas missions around the world, or if they think they will not be caught or judged then it is easy for them to engage in illegal and corrupt behavior. They try to justify and minimize their actions. Finally, there are individuals who are just plain evil and corrupt, they see the money making potential of preying on the helpless and needy, and exploit every opportunity they can to make a buck, especially in an industry that involves sex. They are very good at dehumanizing, denial, and lying about what is going on.

FOSTER: What do you think needs to be done to address the trafficking issue? What can government do?

The trafficking issue at large is too complex to tackle with sweeping reform. There are so many different types of human trafficking each with different dynamics of funding the corruption. Obviously, many adults choose to be trafficked... or illegally transported across many borders to escape horrendous conditions in their own countries. These issues cannot be convoluted with organized criminal syndicates who are providing services to internationals all over the world, in the form of trafficking for forced prostitution. They are involved in the recruitment, abuse, desensitization, and sale of human flesh, into international missions as sex workers. This is what I want to discuss and what I think we can make a huge impact on based on my experiences as a former law enforcement officer, former UN employee, former representative of our U.S. government overseas, and as a former employee of one of the largest private government contractors in the world DynCorp.

FOSTER: What can our government do?

First, in the short term, the United States needs to take a serious look at why we are willing to allow private companies to engage in the profession of law enforcement. Government contractors are a needed and viable means to get many logistical and re-construction efforts accomplished. They are not a viable means for a protection force or as a mechanism for the use in training law enforcement officers in emerging democracies. Law enforcement is not a business. Policing is a calling. Does anyone really believe that private corporations are in this policing and operational mission business for anything but the money? We need to set an example with our own federal police selection units, perhaps via the Department of Justice as an example, why can we not recruit and most importantly train our own community police officers before we send them into these missions? My book accurately describes the pathetic training offered by the private company who sent me overseas, which I am sure was heavily subsidized with my tax dollars. It was a disgrace; none of us had even the minimum knowledge or idea of what we were supposed to be doing once we got into Bosnia.

If we are to continue to send "rent a cops " overseas with inadequate knowledge and inadequate protections from corrupt private companies, some of whom had serious questionable policing backgrounds we might want to stop and think about how this damages our reputation and our goals. The private company who fired me had free reign to treat me however they saw fit, no one was in authority to stop them. They were exempt from all U.S. government accountability and have never been held accountable for what they did to me to this day. How has this changed? It has not.

Second, get the Civilian Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (CEJA) out of committee and get it passed. It has been more than 12 years overdue. [NOTE: CEJA would allow the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute government contractors and employees for certain crimes committed overseas. It would complement the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (MEJA), which provides similar criminal jurisdiction over Department of Defense employees and contractors but does not clearly apply to U.S. contractors working overseas for other federal agencies.]

Third, make government contractors accountable for their employee actions, by putting a clause in their contracts that require them to facilitate and allow oversight of both external and internal investigations by outside government agencies, when probable cause exists that employees are suspected, or implicated in criminal offenses. They must cooperate in the facilitation of prosecutions. They can no longer just fire people, and hope the problem goes away, which automatically curtails any further investigation.

Fourth, set examples by having the means available to prosecute and convict with meaningful sentences.

FOSTER: What can individuals do?

Learn, read, report, and stop burying your heads in the sand. Many of the people involved in these crimes could be your next door neighbor.

Get local law enforcement initiatives started, and ask your police chiefs this question. What kind of training is being offered to your new recruits and officers on the streets to recognize and investigate all forms of human trafficking?

Do you think a local police chief in the hills of Northern New Mexico, or in the farming community of southern Illinois, is even going to know what we are talking about? Does the local hotel have young female Hispanics working in the housekeeping department? They do not speak English, they have no documents, does he know what wage they are being paid and in what form? Think about it. I have been in these places have you?

 FOSTER: Many of the women and girls who are trafficked are promised jobs that don't materialize. What do you think would be effective to get the word out to them so that fewer of them fall prey to these types of promises?

The only effect we can have on this is to stop the demand.

FOSTER: How did you sustain yourself?

Continued faith in our justice system, lots of hard workouts and sweat, many tears and my husband would make me a strong gin tonic with lots of lemon and ice once in a while.

       看完电影，自然很不好受，回味全片外加百度，试图推测梳理出此片极大的信息量和逻辑，发现不明白之处还是很多的。

    大致学习了一下波黑战争起因是波斯尼亚克族人和克罗地亚人闹独立，而塞尔维亚人主张统一，从史实里看，感觉塞尔维亚族人的政治智慧相当差——抵制投票就不投票反而让波斯尼亚人和克罗地亚人联手合法获得独立自主权，并获得国际社会的认可，但塞族人却骁勇好战，崇尚武力，复仇心切——在国际社会当中，几乎孤立无援的情况下，还和另两族打了4年多仗，并且在被北约连续轰炸死伤无数后，发起了血腥的斯雷布雷尼察大屠杀——更加坐实了塞尔维亚族人无法无可统一国家的事实。


    影片中，刚到波黑的嘉芙在断壁残垣上一扫而过看到：SREBRENICA NEVER FORGET，就直接点出波黑战争带来的破坏，不仅是建筑物还有人心。——斯雷布雷尼察（塞尔维亚语：Сребреница）大屠杀是屠杀者塞尔维亚族和被屠杀者穆斯林族波斯尼亚族都难以忘怀和逾越的民族鸿沟，我留意到，这是用英语而不是当地语言写的，我尽力理解这只是电影拍摄需要。
    
    穆斯林妇女受丈夫虐待案再次突出了这个矛盾，开始按我的理解是：反对处理此事并说“穆斯林活该”的是坏警察，塞尔维亚族人；而嘉芙的得力助手则自我介绍是波斯尼亚族人。——这样才能说通坏警察是带着民族仇恨而大肆贩卖并残酷对待波斯尼亚族少女的，但后来想想民族矛盾如此之深的两族人可能在同一片土地上生活，在同一个地方共事吗？
    如果坏警察不是出于民族仇恨，那就是腐败和经济的解释了。就是更加悲哀的人性无底线了。
    
    影片主要塑造了一系列女性形象，除了嘉芙，还有几个女性形象也很出彩。
    拉亚来自单身家庭，看得出家教甚严，所以在片头她并没有跟鲁芭去“打工”，不幸的是，她最终被uncle-in-law卖走了，她的uncle-in-law在给她拍证件照时，被她的阿姨撞见了，从夫妇两人的表情里看得出，阿姨明白会发生什么事，责备地看着丈夫，但被丈夫的眼神制止，后来的情节看来，阿姨应该为此后悔而责怪丈夫却挨了不少打，即便知道事情可能会败露，但阿姨还是赞助了拉亚妈妈去找拉亚的路费。——悲哀，却让人还是能相信点人性，至少女性还有那么一点底线。
    拉亚暂时脱离危险时，向嘉芙打听鲁芭的下落，而鲁芭在看到拉亚的遭遇时也流露出忏悔和痛苦，年轻姑娘们在屈辱的空间里相互提醒照顾，有的还心存着希望，不管是逃离还是还清债务。——都是悲哀里的一点光亮。但也很脆弱。
    相较而言，莫妮卡贝鲁奇扮演的照章办事的联合国官员，简直就是对联合国官员无人性的控诉了吧。我纠结地既不相信联合国里只有美国人（嘉芙）有人性，而欧洲人（贝鲁奇）就没有，也相信欧洲人确实是可能讲究规则到不可理喻的。
    
    我不太理解的是：拉亚作为一度愿意指证的证人被掳走，而后嘉芙在酒吧里重又找到她，仅仅出于她曾是被掳走的证人，应该就能直接带离而不需要征求她本人意见吧。嘉芙助手说的理由是不太成立的。

    从人口贩卖的条线理解，这是一条相当成熟的产业链，丰富的货源（战争导致男少女多），伪造的证件，运送途径，销售场所（叫保护费而受到警察保护的酒吧）和消费群体（并不只是警察、联合国官员、维和部队等），最后还有一个收容所。
    姑娘们失去人身自由、受疾病侵害，有时还会受非人的对待。

    嘉芙的出现打乱了这条井井有条的产业链，攻克的点是：警察、联合国官员、维和部队等不仅是消费常客，甚至还参与买卖过程，提供保护和帮助。
    我相信，即便是没有官方机构的参与，这始终会是战后重建甚至是任何国家的一个地下产业，虽然影片里在收容所工作的老妇人说：战争导致男少女多，还会有谁来享用这些女孩？——但色情业是建立在人性的贪欲和经济基础不平等上的。

    嘉芙作为孤胆英雄，义愤填膺地揭露黑幕，输出了尊重人权、自由独立的价值观，但从根本上讲，美国及北约从外部介入他国主权，煽动各方势力，通过推动民族独立而把一个国家搞得万劫不复，国家经济上一塌糊涂，社会秩序一塌糊涂，社会构成一塌糊涂，再送来点小小的人权恩惠，这真能打动人心吗？
    而所谓的国际警察、维和部队、联合国办事人员，一个国家的治理不得不需要外国人起劲解决，这对当地人难道真的是人道的吗？还是是为了给某些国家的人创造就业机会和赚钱机会呢？别忘记，嘉芙2000年前后去到波黑，可是领一年10万美金薪水的。而一个波黑姑娘被保养一年的卖身价是3000美金，还能讲价。
