告密者2010

       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。
      

这片子是今年第一次看片后有去查资料去翻历史的冲动的片子，根据真实故事改编往往都是些有着撼动能力的片子。今天一直在找有没有类似的片子，没有，真没有，后来想想这也是应该的，一，历史是不容复制的；二，政治丑闻不是那么随随便便可以浮出于众。更可见它的难得。
为何会这样？
打着人道主义的口号，做着人性泯灭的事；作为维持秩序正义的人，做着游走于法律之下的事情。一直认为任何一件事的发生归根究底都会有一个根本原因的诱使，同样像他们也一样，原因就是这些人都有一个保护伞------外交豁免权。没有法律的制裁以及监督，残暴一览无遗，当同伙壮大，这种现象根本是无法想象的。就像战后的波黑。
或许会觉得前半段有些冗长，但是看后回想起来，几乎每一句台词，在片后的对比都是一只强力拳，足以打碎那些虚伪的正义。
关于制度
波黑是一个多名族国家，存在强烈的宗教间矛盾，92年三个民族围绕波黑前途和领土划分等问题开战。战后联合国派遣维和部队来重建，但是这却为他们带来了新一轮的灾难。看电影里为了可以保护那两个女孩凯瑟琳算是恳求那个部门的女同事，但是她只会冰冷地重复制度、规矩。可是他们呢？凌驾于制度之上，游走于法律之下，还不如强盗。
关于人口贩卖
07年李扬拍《盲山》，在国际上大受欢迎，可在Z国却被打入禁片的冷宫，一不露肉，二不暴力，但却被禁，因为揭露了一个残酷的现状----人口贩卖。看片时我也在假想如果我也是个被贩卖去的人怎么办？看不到明天，活着和死了差不多，估计八成选择咬舌自尽，赶紧投胎。“每一天都会有女孩被贩卖”，
关于媒体
媒体的本质，永远是一个向霸权献媚、为强盗歌颂、毫无道德可言毫无廉耻之心的妓女本质。 这是大众的普遍认知。不过片中的这个真相有幸可以公之于众，很庆幸它越过了美国，是靠BBC以另一种方式报道了出来，BBC和此事没有直接的利益冲突。作为媒体的良知从始至终都是个模棱两可的问题，如果太敢说真话，最终嘴是会被封住的。即使看过这部片，这个看法我还是不会改变。
关于最后
最后想说，Z国永远不会拍这种片子，甚至播出

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.

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。

   假设有这样的一个系统，有生命，且环环相扣。它的外部就像一个巨大的玻璃罩，或者大气层一样，它的运作靠着最基本的生命物体活动来维持，这是我们的群体，区域，国家，社会运作的单程模式。人类的部分活动可以提供这个玻璃罩运行所要的供养，然后它提供给我们保护、维持社会运作，提供发展所要的环境、平台和机会。这样而来即为一个相互依存的关系。同时，它是我们应需而创造的，有生命的机制，运行的体制。
  像人类的活动，能动性导致这种活动必然的结果是进步的，推动历史前进的，但是，这个过程所吞噬的旧事物，会产生消极的，类似社会，道德和法律在倒退现象。像一个个体的人，要生存，然后要成长，就要进食，然后是消化，最后排泄。
  所以。。。我想说的，一切都是必然，都是必须，都是不可避免，无可奈何的。对于时代来说，对于整个我们赖以生存的系统来说，对于个体力量来讲，谁都不能拆除掉自己的免疫系统，我们无能为力。

制片人希望能让观众受到片中那些被迫卖淫女性受到残暴对待的镜头影响，所以增加了拉亚一角，来给予这些受害人一张真实的面孔。
电影首次在多伦多放映期间，一位观众因片中的暴力镜头晕倒，大部分强奸的镜头因此遭到删减。

对此薇兹表示：
我完全理解，让人看这些东西的确太痛苦了。
真实情况还要惨烈得多。
我的意思是，第一个接触这些青年女性的人的故事中我能够告诉你的还只有这个“低调”的版本，如果你能够接受这样的内容。
不过，这不是纪录片，你不希望（在里面）毁掉谁。
你只想阐明一些事情，它的实际情况还要惨上百倍。

联合国秘书长潘基文主持了电影的一次放映，并承诺会采取措施，防止联合国工作人员参与色情人口贩卖活动。
对此波克瓦克回应：“不幸的是，恐惧已经广泛散布。纠正之路将会很复杂，并且无法速战速决。”她还表示，除波斯尼亚外，维和人员在尼日利亚、科索沃、布隆迪、塞拉利昂、刚果、利比里亚、柬埔寨、伊拉克、阿富汗、海地、哥伦比亚、几内亚和苏丹都存在侵犯人权的行径。
康达基对此表示自己打算保持乐观，希望电影的放映能够“让人们对联合国参与性交易人口贩卖及其它犯罪活动展开真正的讨论和思考。”但她也担心电影可能不会产生预期的持久影响：“我知道我们会听到很多说法，说自本片上映以来都已经采该了哪些措施，但到目前为止这些都还只是说辞。实际情况已经出现升级。

”《告密者》在院线上映后，《卫报》报道称有联合国官员试图淡化电影中描绘的事件，并且打击波斯尼亚境内人口贩卖的行动已遭中止。

戴阳国际发言人阿什利·伯克（Ashley Burke）称：

我没看过那部电影，所以无法对其内容作出评价，但是我可能告诉大家，我们联系影片发行商试图了解电影的更多信息时得知，影片不是改编自波克瓦克女士的著作，而是是受到她经历启发所做的‘虚构戏剧化呈现’。我们也没有威胁采取法律行动来要求他们不得在片中使用公司的真实名称。

很抱歉，以上是我转载的内容，我觉得这更有一定的说服力
首先，电影里出现的公司名称戴阳国际是真实存在的，并且戴阳国际也一直在参与联合国的各种事物（业务），最终联合国秘书长潘也组织观看了此片，相信会有所动作！

但.....弱肉抢食
