本杰明·巴顿奇事

本杰明·巴顿奇事(The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button,2008),电影是年初所看,下了班,放了假,守在办公桌的屏幕前,久久不愿离去,感人至深,感人至深!

恰巧又一个假期,听到一首不是新歌的新歌《原点》,几句歌词令记忆闪回到这部电影:别对我抱歉 别总觉得对我亏欠 现在他在你的身边 就对他好一点 不要再让你们的爱败给了时间 ...我们经过那么多考验 最后还是回到了原点。的确,不论现在谁在你的身边,都要对他好一点。珍惜眼前人,珍惜身边事,哪怕只是一瞬间,就像故事主人公。




Benjamin和Daisy,相识很长,可相恋太短;永远相知,却无法永远相守。那段二人最幸福的时光,貌似颓废也滴滴珍贵。时间的沙漏,一粒粒一颗颗的这样流走,她留下的是记忆,而他只是残缺的日记。

时而动,相向而行,必定背道而驰。如果是我,没有这种勇气,哪怕注定承受一段伟大爱情。看着爱人逐渐幼稚的脸庞,顽皮又执拗的孩子模样,看到女儿出生时 少年本杰明离家出走,看到Daisy老去,Benjamin爬上屋顶,直到Daisy看着心爱伴侣变成了怀抱中的婴儿并停止呼吸,令人心痛,心好痛。人 说"生如夏花",美丽而短暂,Benjamin和Daisy的爱情更象烟花,一生的蛰伏只为一瞬的灿烂。

事很精彩,剧本很棒很感人,Kate和Petter的表演没得说,结构和叙事手法也很独特,不过这种回忆自述形式与10年前的Titanic(1997)有些相仿,不知这是否是奥斯卡没有垂青的原因。

今那个Mr.Cake的故事还记忆犹新,还有Benjamin片尾的自述,爵士风格的简单钢琴曲调。音乐第一次出现在戴西的奶奶教Benjamin弹奏钢琴处,最后用在片尾独白处。曲名为Randy Kerber - Bethena (A Concert Waltz) ,写于1905年,是Scott JoplinRagtime(格雷泰姆音乐*)巅峰时期(1897-1916)的代表作之一,也是那个年代(十九世纪末二十世纪初)的象征。此曲被认为是爵士华尔兹伟大作品中最迷人最优美的作品,剧中你是否留意?

Benjamin的自述中,琴键滚动出旋律,泛黄的老旧照片、镜头切换、闪回、时光倒流的大钟...强烈的带入感,故事没有结束,仿佛刚刚开始,从出生到死亡,对于Benjamin是从耄耋到襁褓,没有终点,返老还童往复循环...

some people are born to sit by a river,
some is struck by lightning,
some have an ear for music,
some are artists,
some swim,
some know buttons,
some know Shakespeare,
some are mothers,
and some people...dance.


找回感觉了吗?继续...

We were meant to lose people. How else would we know how important they are?
我们注定会失去我们所爱的人,要不然我们怎么会知道他们对我们有多么的重要?


And if only one thing had happened differently,
if that shoelace hadn't broken,
or that delivery truck had moved moments earlier,
or that package had been wrapped and ready , because the girl hadn't broken up with her boyfriend,
or that man had set his alarm and got up five minutes earlier,
or that taxi driver hadn't stopped for a cup of coffee,
or that woman had remembered her coat and had gotten into an earlier cab,
Daisy and her friend would have crossed the street.
And the taxi would have driven by.
But life being what it is,
a series of intersecting lives and incidents,
out of anyone's control,
that taxi did not go by,
and that driver was momentarily distracted.
And that taxi hit Daisy.
如果只有那么一件事情没有按原样发生的话
如果那个朋友鞋带没有松
如果那辆货车提前几分钟开走
如果那个服务员没和她的男朋友分手,商品被提前包好
如果那个男人的闹钟提前上了五分钟
如果那个司机没有停下来去喝杯咖啡
如果那个巴黎女人没有忘了拿大衣,而坐上早一班的出租车
那么黛西和她的朋友穿过马路时,出租车也只会和他们擦肩而过......


You could be mad as a mad dogat the way things went.
You can swear and curse the fates...
But when it comes to the end...
You have to let go.
你可以像疯狗那样对周围的一切愤愤不平,你可以诅咒命运,但是等到最后一刻,你还是得平静得放手而去   


For what it's worth,it's never to late,or in my case,too early,to be whoever you want to be.
There is no time limit,start whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same.
There are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it.
I hope you make the best of it.
And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you're proud of.
If you find that you're not,
I hope you have the strenght to start all over again.
一件事无论太晚,或者对于我来说太早,都不会阻拦你成为你想成为的那个人,这个过程没有时间的期限,只要你想,随时都可以开始,要改变或者保留原状都无所 谓,做事本不应有所束缚,我们可以办好这件事,却也可以把它搞砸,但我希望,最终你能成为你想成为的人,我希望你有时能驻足于这个令你感到惊叹的世界,体 会你从未有过的感觉,我希望你能见到其他与你观点不同的人们,我希望你能有一个值得自豪的一生,如果和你想象的生活不一样,我希望你能有勇气,重新启程。


这部电影带给人的感动太多了,经典台词也很多,品音乐要用心,品台词也要用心,更多我就不列举了,网络随处可见。本文中已足够我继续体味一秋了。
