"I don't know... the weight of it, I guess. At some point, it becomes bearable. It turns into something that you can crawl out from under and... carry around like a brick in your pocket. And you... you even forget it, for a while. But then you reach in for whatever reason and - there it is. Oh right, that. Which could be aweful - not all the time. It's kinda...fine"
《聲聲相識 Crazy Heart》
喜歡它和喜歡 《The Wrestler》的道理一樣,看著那些曾經有著輝煌日子的老頭子,中年窮愁潦倒,然後向著鏡頭,眼巴巴地告訴你This is Life。那種真實,那種撕心裂肺,配上首好聽到不能的Theme Song,情況就是嚐一杯陳年的Whiskey一樣,甘醇然後百般滋味盡在心頭。
《My Name is Khan》
對,我喜歡Bollwood電影,我喜歡它或者更甚於Hollywood。別人說它情節誇張,常常無啦啦跳舞唱歌,哈,我就是喜歡這些,我喜歡他們有明顯喜承轉合得故事,我喜歡澎湃的音樂節拍。然而,此片沒有音樂沒有跳舞,但有著一個震撼人心的故事。
"If I'm going to be anything more than average, if anyone's going to remember me, then I need to go further in everything: in art, in life, in everything they think is real: morality, immorality, good, bad, I, we, have to smash that to pieces, we have to go beyond that, we have to be brave. no limit. "
他們與世俗抗衝,懶理他人的眼光,堅信享樂就是人生最大的意義。他們從不妥協,因為妥協和甘於現狀,就是對自我身份的摧殘(estruction of Identity)。你說他們麋爛荒廢,他們告訴你這樣的生活才算精彩,這樣的人生才是人生啊。人生理應是一場又一場的歌舞,跳不完的華爾茲,充滿熱情的探戈。抱起,拋高,接著,而每一下他們都是笑面迎人的。有快有慢,跌跌碰碰,就隨著舞動的節奏一起翩翩起舞。就連情慾的畫面都相當有趣,又自然又優美,是一段動人的旋律。
其實,說穿了,他們不過在求同存異,"Just being different nor better or worse",當中根本沒有對或錯。
可惜,時代總會過去。由色彩斑爛講究姿整的Pompadour、撞色撞款的衣裳,到變成美國風的The Free the person, The Simple the outfit。
上一回我們聽了一首很長很長的悲歌,今回我們聽著這樣的一首搖籃曲,不斷在耳邊迴旋,如此溫婉如此柔和,感覺安心又窩心。
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye
