有人为这部电影写了首歌

论影评的高级形式：专门为你写一首歌。

英国摇滚乐队Asking Alexandria为这部《布鲁克斯先生》专门写了一首歌“Hey There Mr. Brooks”，收在他们的第一张专辑“Stand up and Scream”中。2009年9月15日通过Sumerian唱片发行，由Joey Sturgis制作。该专辑在Billboard 200上排名第170，在Top Independent专辑上排名第29，在Top Heatseekers上排名第4。

歌词以Earl（凯文-科斯特纳的角色）的口吻写就，首先是他的另一面Marshal（威廉-赫特）的回归，作案过程，然后是Mr. Smith的卷入，最后写了女儿。风格属于硬核金属。

Oh, you're back to me and the hunger returns I told myself I was done for good All the memories of all the pictures burned I see them dancing, my heart begins to pound I didn't make a sound They didn't see me coming The lights are left on The curtains left wide

One scream, it's over I lay them side by side, side by side Holding each other I'll be there in the morning With a smile on my face I'll be there in the morning To start it all again Boy you caught me red handed

You've got no fucking clue what you just got yourself into Panic runs down your leg, seeing me kill again You just got yourself caught and you don't even know it On the drive you get the rush and pull the gun on me

We make the stop, it's time to be set free Oh, the bullet's gone I take this spade, I slit your throat You fall into your grave, I cover up my tracks, I'm done I won't kill again, I said that's it, I'm done I'll be there in the morning With a smile on my face I'll be there in the morning To start it all again

No, she's daddy's little girl She wasn't meant to be another me

But it's the scissors to my throat To my fucking throat No, she's daddy's little girl She wasn't meant to be another me But it's the scissors to my throat To my fucking throat (Screaming)

没想到凯文-科斯特纳浓眉大眼的，演起变态来也很像样。坟场变脸时特有味道。

海报设计得也好，表现Marshal的手法很妙。本来是要拍三部曲的，好遗憾啊。

布鲁克斯是影片中经常默念的“宁静祷文”，出自美国神学家莱因霍尔德-尼布尔（Reinhold Niebuhr）之手：

Father, give us courage to change what must be altered,

serenity to accept what cannot be helped,

and the insight to know the one from the other.

上帝，请赐我平静，去接受那些我不能改变的事物，

赐我勇气，去改变那些我可以改变的事物，

赐我以智慧，分辨两者的不同。

或可译作：

惠我以安宁，忍所当忍；赐我以勇毅，为所当为；更赐我以智慧，将两者区分。”

另一个比较流行的版本是：

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can change,

And wisdom to know the difference.

较长的版本：

God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right, If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.
