Team America World Police: Music From The Motion Picture

“美国战队”是一个国际性的刑警组织，秉承着“世界和平要从自己做起”的原则，致力于维护全球的安全与稳定。最近，“美国战队”总部惊悉一个可靠的情报：一个患有“权力饥渴症”的独裁者正将大量有杀伤性的武器卖给世界各地的恐怖组织，帮助他们进行大肆破坏，引起了全球的恐慌。

于是，“美国战队”再一次以绝对的使命感积极投入到拯救世界的行动中去。为了能够渗透到恐怖组织内部，战队只有破格吸纳一名新成员--加里·约翰斯顿，这位在百老汇新崛起的演员可以利用他的表演天赋帮助他们从事秘密的间谍任务。在战队的司令官斯鲍茨伍德和队员克里斯、莎拉、莉莎以及乔的帮助下，加里混进了一个军火交易商的隐匿处，他发现，恐怖分子的阴谋已经开始实行……

从开罗的金字塔到巴拿马运河，“美国战队”的脚印几乎踏遍了全世界，最终在北朝鲜的主席宫发现那个进行秘密军火买卖的正是金正日，面对这位对权力已经痴狂成疾的领导人，“美国战队”置危险于不顾，拼了命也要阻止他颠覆世界的阴谋。

这是一部传统的提线木偶动画片，由《南方公园》幕后精英制作，将木偶戏拍成电影，借以讽刺美国称霸世界统治全球的野心，其主角是一群美国大兵跑到中东对付恐怖份子，保护世界文明的超级搞笑作品。

Marc Shaiman, the former SNL musical director/film composer who scored an Oscar nomination for his collaboration on South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and makes occasional contributions here, once called SP co-creator Trey Parker "the biggest heterosexual show queen" he'd ever met. The satirical songs Parker wrote (and sometimes performs) for he and Matt Stone's inventive, marionette-starring skewering of Hollywood action films, American foreign intrigues and political correctness of various stripes only confirms Parker's status as the idiot savant Sondheim. Trey's musical desecration here is as hilarious as it is equal opportunity, variously taking aim at manipulative Broadway fare (the Rent send-up "Everyone Has AIDS"), patriotism-pimping country stars like Toby Keith ("Freedom Isn't Free"), schlock ballad queen Diane Warren ("Only A Woman") and mindlessly jingoistic macho-rock anthems ("America, **** Yeah"). Parker's unlikely showcase for North Korean dictator Kim Il Jong ("I'm So Ronery") manages to be loopy, genuinely touching and typically un-PC all at once. The underscore cues by Harry Gregson-Williams take informed, if more subtle jabs at his own oeuvre and that of his oft cliché-ridden colleagues: heroic marches, nervous techno and uber brooding orchestral cues played so straight that context is often the only clue to their parody intent. It's a welcome puncturing of much bloated Hollywood pomposity -- and far and away our favorite soundtrack of the year.--Jerry McCulley
