Thank You for Smoking 銘謝吸煙：把黑說成白，嘴炮的極致

這是一部台灣沒有上映的電影，但是有出DVD，網路上看到有人提到可以學習口說技巧，二話不說，先找來看看。

片子是在描述一位菸草公司的發言人，非常善於說話，黑的講成白的，白的講成紅的，所以對於公司不利的地方，經過他的說服，往往會有奇蹟式的轉變，菸草公司也因為有了這樣一位超級說客得以持續經營下去，但相對的，他卻被許多維護環保和健康的大眾批為本世紀的惡魔......。

看完後，極度推薦大家可以去看看，劇情很輕鬆，帶點幽默，其中圍繞之主題"香煙"更是一個可以好好發揮的話題，看著主角如何避重就輕的繞過香煙的壞處，卻向無知的大群大大推廣香煙的好處，這部份真的很有趣，講白話一點就是很嘴炮，很愛辨，這讓我想起我國中的導師，在這裡姑且不論我對老師的感覺XD，第一、講不完，第二、我怕講的太難聽，還記得有幾次我被抓去導師室，我跟老師說我覺得對的道理，結果她講不過我，就說"小小年紀，就這麼會詭辯，有什麼用"，SOGA，主角就是詭辯，但是毋庸置疑的這也是生存的技巧之一，而且是很重要的技巧之一。

其中最有趣的莫過於他的兒子了，有一個令他崇拜的老爸，和一個令他頭痛的老爸，老爸的說話方式讓他很敬佩，老爸令人厭惡的工作讓他很頭痛，片中我們可以看到老爸一方面又要維護公司的利益，一方面又不想讓兒子觀念是非混亂，所以開始有所改變。

總之，是好片一部，相信喜歡輕鬆美式劇的人一定會愛上的，保證不用花大腦，但是看完也不會覺得空虛。最後附上片頭的歌詞，仔細看會覺得非常有意思，請細細品嚐。

Soundtrack: Thank You for Smoking
Title: Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette! (Tex Williams)

Now I'm a feller with a heart of gold
And the ways of a gentleman I've been told
The kind of guy that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met
The guy that invented the cigarette
I'd murder that son-of-a-gun in the first degree

It ain't cuz I don't smoke myself
And I don't reckon that it'll harm your health
Smoked all my life and I ain't dead yet

But nicotine slaves are all the same
At a pettin' party or a poker game
Everything gotta stop while they have a cigarette

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette

Now in a game of chance the other night
Old Dame Fortune was a-doin' me right
The kings and the queens just kept on comin' round

And I got a full and I bet 'em high
But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy
He just kept on raisin' and layin' that money down

Now he'd raise me and I'd raise him
I sweated blood, gotta sink or swim
He finally called and didn't even raise the bet

So I said "aces full Pops how 'bout you?"
He said "I'll tell you in a minute or two
But right now, I gotta have me a cigarette"

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hates to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette

(Ah, smoke it! Hah! Yes! Yes! Yes!)

The other night I had a date
With the cutest little girl in the United States
A high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame

She loved me and it seemed to me
That things were 'bout like they oughta be
So hand in hand we strolled down lover's lane

She was oh so far from a cake of ice
And our smoochin' party was goin' nice
So help me cats I believe I'd be there yet

But I give her a kiss and a little squeeze
And she said, "ah, Marty, excuse me please
I just gotta have me another, cigarette"

And she said, smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette.
