Miss Americana是一个很好的切入点,但也限制了她的表达——整部纪录片大部分内容都是从“偶像”身份的Taylor进行内容叙述的,美国高度发达的娱乐产业将她包装成了Miss Americana,而她自己也在强调她自己“偶像”的身份(I‘m trained to do that... This is my work ethic...)而在Miss Americana这个叙事主体下,她即使再怎样“掏心掏肺”都会显得不够真诚,而她面对镜头所有的自述、自我剖析最后都变成了对她自己人设的强化,而真正的她的想法在一层层面具与标签下已经变得越来越模糊。LWYMMD里面死掉的并不是Old Taylor而是Real Taylor,即使是ME!都显得不够真诚(另外Reputation真的不够格拿格莱美)
“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”
