21 octubre 空虚与充实之间 空虚与充实之间光阴似箭, 一头串着现在, 一头串着过去, 恍惚间又一个两年。 周五晚上下着雨,我开着车在黑暗里回家。天已经凉了,车灯照亮了两旁高处落叶的树梢,雨点象一根根银针不停地落在前窗上,车里放着我熟悉的乐曲。雨夜和熟 悉的旋律让我此刻特别感激躲在车里的温馨。两年前,我坐在同样的街旁,行人和街景,一切都是陌生的,只有手中的咖啡似曾熟悉。一年前,也在这个季节里,初 上的夜灯显得温暖而又透着陌生, 我开始想要去拥抱。 把这些时间上的点纵向穿起来,我发现人是怎样一点一点地去熟悉适应的。在失落和空虚的时候不知道缥缈的生活如何才能踏实。 那时画里的叶子和街道是色彩鲜艳的,可我却离得很远,因为渴望所以赋予了它们浓烈的生命。 现在想来是时间的积累润滑了棱角填充了些空隙; 我又能描述出常光顾的咖啡馆,还有几家熟悉的面馆, 不再老是开错了路去看大海。 我找到了些熟悉的影子,在满店铺的咖啡味里享受工作思考和看人的乐趣, 同时把一小杯咖啡从烫嘴到发凉喝上个大半天,然后一边踌躇满志一边掂量鱼肉熊掌, 于是生活重新开始有了旋律。 15 octubre 色,戒 (Lust, Caution)那天下午去看了后有些零零碎碎的想法,一时写不出来。现在两天过去了,沉淀下来絮叨絮叨。 电影比原 作对一天里事情的描写扩展了很多。 但仍然让人觉得很自然,除了结尾的一段赘肉。正像李安自己所说的:张爱玲的小说只是个开始。原作里易先生的人物形象比 较浅,电影里的易先生平时冷血,但是难得的偶尔还是透出些人味儿。王佳芝的形象丰富了许多。但是不如我想象的妩媚。所以还是把它当作独立的作品看待比较 好。 电影的场景有些像二战时代的巴黎和伦敦,从租界街头人们的时尚,到店面,到排队领救济面包的犹太人。但是少了点中国特别的东西, 比 如面子文化,普通人体面背后隐藏的穷讲究,这些可以通过服饰的细节做到。整个片子很法国,(可能和音乐创造的氛围有关,后面从哼哼唧唧那里得 知音乐是个法国人做的),不过那个时代上海繁华的法租界也确实让文化受到了影响。片子让我想起两个法国电影:'The Dreamers'和'Last Tango in Paris' (巴黎最后的探戈)。 就 细节而言,我挺好奇做爱 的场面用了什么技巧让它显得如此真实。后面听说做爱是真的,不得不佩服他们的献艺精神。接近片尾有一处细节是王佳芝在身份暴露后没有 吞下 药丸。 有人说是想再看见易先生, 但是她没有提出要求, 显然是张爱玲笔下的小女子。我更同意另外一个说法, 王佳芝不是什么热血青年。她在刑场表情镇定,是因为找到了归宿, 倒是那些热血同学痛哭流涕。王佳芝有一段很好的叙述说易先生如何慢慢钻进她的心。两个都是掩藏得很好的人,在生活里演着行尸走肉的戏。 易先生只有在象审讯罪犯一样的做爱中找到真实,而王佳芝空虚的内心也找到一丝寄托。 虽然不想解释为‘通向女人的心要通过阴道(可能还有钻石)’,但在一个动荡的时代, 没有归属的人有时候就是这么脆弱, 更何况是个连“同胞”都没得依靠的女人。当王佳芝从珠宝店走出来坐上黄包车时,她突然间踏实了。那一段导演让我们仔细欣赏车夫的笑容和亲切的问话。 --“小姐回 家?” --“嗯。” 这种最基本的归属感让被父亲抛弃的王佳芝充实了。 05 octubre Eat, Pray, LoveWarning: This blog is about some chick's flick stuff. Were you a man over 30 you should find it very boring. I indulged myself with a long sleep and happened to see Oprah on TV when I got up in the afternoon. She was talking about 'Eat, Pray, Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. After Elizabeth felt no meaning in her life she took some time off and traveled to Italy, India and Bali to eat pasta and gain 15 pounds in Italy, pray with mosquito in India, and finally found her love in Bali. As Oprah was selling such a book as a cult I got quite curious and did a little bit internet search. Here's one review from Amazon.com, which is, of course, criticized by some others. But I think it has some serious points that sound harsh though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Eat, Pray, Love" is an almost perfect embodiment of everything wrong with America circa 2007, so it's fitting that such a tome has been so widely and indiscriminately embraced by aspirational post-yuppie women. An unabashed emissary of the culture of selfishness and the cult of the individual, our protagonist decides to dump her husband and "just take a year off," indulging in noncommittal and shallow adventures entirely divorced from any greater sense moral, ethical, or intellectual purpose. Forget that there's an illegal, undeclared war that's resulted in the deaths of thousands upon thousands of innocents, forget all people living a subsistence existence, forget all the people that have to work for a living - she's "just gonna take some time out for me." Remember when that meant simple and humble pleasures, rather than a year of non-working and unthinking vacation as lifestyle, with a little fake religion and fake nonthreatening indulgence thrown in? Elizabeth Gilbert is the herald of a new age of crass, unthinking American indulgence and excess, truly a new low for humanity at large. When the next 9/11 happens, it will be because of people like Gilbert, living blissfully unaware of the the way that the rest of the world views their lifestyles, mentality, and condescending market/tourist mentality toward everything not in their backyard. "Eat, Pray, Love" is why they hate our freedom." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another news about this book is that Paramount Pictures has acquired the film rights to develop her story as a star vehicle for Julia Roberts. I am very curious how they are going to make this book sound smart or even more stupid. Keep tuned! 02 octubre Memories of My Melancholy Whores最近读了这本马尔克斯(Gabriel García Márquez)的近作。以前很喜欢他的描写功夫但总是不能读完全篇,特别是百年孤独里那些重复的名字让我觉得自己怎么一脑袋浆糊, 因为不敢怀疑是文学大师在捣浆糊。 这本Memories of My Melancholy Whores倒是对了我的胃口,算是中短篇。同样是大量的描写,可是少了逻辑。或者说马尔克斯想表达的就是人在暮年对青春和生命的向往,没有太多生理的欲望。所有一切时间的逻辑和事情的逻辑都不再重要。这种有点意识流的写法像一些非线性电影。只是有些非线性电影还是企图让人理出所以然, 可是这本书里没有逻辑, 如果你硬要是找的话会发现情节甚至是前后矛盾的. 由此我想到欣赏一个艺术作品, 形式固然重要, 传达的却是感觉. 往往艺术家是用最少的形式来表达, 因为形式说到底是一个载体. 需要产生共鸣的是你的心. 能共鸣多少和怎样的共鸣那就看你的心在哪根弦上了. |
