It's 1968 and the Vietnam War is at its height. American soldiers are battling to defend the South Vietnamese city of Hue. With them is a young photographer Don McCullin. And it's there among the blood and the carnage that he would take a photograph of a US Marine staring silently into space, dazed and shell-shocked beneath a grimy helmet.
"I dropped on my knees and I photographed five frames of him. Each of those individual frames, you cannot tell the difference of those negatives. There's not one blink of an eyelid with this man."
That photograph would come to be seen as one of the iconic images of the war, but not to the man who took it.
"It seems to be the one photograph I've taken in Vietnam that everybody seems to think is my best picture. I didn't think it is."
"What for you of the images that you took, that for you symbolise that?"
"Tender pictures of men caring for other men - you know, men carrying men. You know, Vietnamese father and his child who are hiding in a bunker as somebody threw a hand grenade in the bunker as the American army do. They call it 'fire in the hole'."今天是美国正式加入越战的纪念日,露易丝·道格欧采访了著名的杰出英国摄影师东·麦克卡伦,探讨他关于战争的回忆,还有在前线拍摄的震撼人心的照片。
那是1968年,正是越战最为白热化的阶段。美国士兵们正在为守卫越南南部城市顺化而战,而年轻的摄影师东·麦克卡伦也在军中。就在那遍地血腥的大屠杀中,他将会拍下这样一张照片:一位美国海军陆战队士兵无声地望向虚空,在沾满灰尘的头盔下,他充满惶惑,陷入极度惊恐。
“我跪在地上,给他拍了五张照片。那五张照片的底片完全看不出任何区别。那个人连眼皮都没眨过一下。”
那张照片后来将被视作这场战争最具标志性的影像之一,但它的作者却不这么看。
“在我在越南拍的照片中,好像大家都认为这张是最好的,可我不觉得。”
“那对你来说,这些自己所拍的照片中,那张能成为越战的象征呢?”
“那些更能体现人性温柔慈悲的照片,人们相互扶持,你明白吧,搀扶着。你知道,比如一位越南父亲和儿子躲在地下掩体里,却有人往里扔了一颗手榴弹,这是美军的惯用手法,他们管这叫‘洞里爆炸’。”
