500 Days of Summer (2009)
電影前段Summer (Zooey Deschanel) 在酒吧說的一番話,
讓我覺得自己跟她很相似,引起我的不少共鳴。
MCKENZIE: So, you got a boyfriend?
SUMMER: No.
MCKENZIE: Why not?
SUMMER: 'Cause I don't want one.
MCKENZIE: Come on. I don't believe that.
SUMMER: You don't believe that a woman could enjoy being free and independent?
MCKENZIE: Are you a lesbian?
SUMMER: No, I'm not a lesbian.
I just don't feel comfortable being anyone's girlfriend.
I don't actually feel comfortable being anyone's anything, you know.
MCKENZIE: I don't know what you're talking about.
SUMMER: Really?
MCKENZIE: Nope.
SUMMER: Okay. Let me break it down for you.
MCKENZIE: Break it down.
SUMMER: Okay. I like being on my own.
Relationships are messy and people's feelings get hurt.
Who needs it? We're young. We live in one of the most beautiful cities in
the world.
Might as well have fun while we can and... save the serious stuff for later.
MCKENZIE: Holy shit. You are a dude. She is a dude.
TOM: Okay. But wait, wait. What happens if you fall in love?
SUMMER: (chuckles)
TOM: What?
SUMMER: Well, you don't believe that, do you?
TOM: It's love. It's not Santa Claus.
SUMMER: Well, what does the word even mean?
I've been relationships and I don't think I've ever seen it.
TOM: Well, maybe that's...
SUMMER: And most marriages end in divorce these days. Like my parents.
TOM: Okay. Mine too but...
MCKENZIE: Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.
SUMMER: The lady dothn't. There's no such thing as love. It's fantasy.
TOM: Well, I think you're wrong.
SUMMER: Okay. Well, what is it that I'm missing then?
TOM: I think you know when you feel it.
SUMMER: I guest we can just agree to disagree.
TOM: Yeah.
Summer不相信世上有真愛,覺得婚姻不可靠,喜歡獨自一人。
某程度跟我對於愛情的想法很相似,
不過更多的是,我認為自己不適合與某個人一起生活。
但事實是,
我們都只是未能遇上那個人,重要得足以改變我們的想法。
電影一直沒有解釋Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt)和Summer分開的原因,
直至最後才知道原來沒有一個特定的理由,只是Summer有一天突然覺得「要分開了」。
這倒與Summer的性格很貼切,也配合了電影的主題。
有時候我們不知道做一件事的原因,只是憑感覺就決定去做了。

Once (2006):tranquil but meanwhile,moving
Once是我近期看過的電影中最愛的一套。
男主角在街頭獻唱自己的歌,與女主角相識於街頭。
後來他們以音樂交流,
過程中得知對方的感情煩惱,互相治癒對方飄零一地的心。
電影裡的男女主角沒有名字這件事,
我也是看完後上imdb看到角色一欄寫他們叫Guy和Girl才注意到的。
原來他們從來沒有叫過對方的名字,
還是他們甚至連對方的名字也不知道呢。
如果是,這個設定令他們的故事更加扣人心弦。
電影的對白不多,也沒有美麗的畫面,
但幾個音符、幾句歌詞、幾個細微的動作和眼神交流,
就足以表達當中的情感。
戲中我最喜歡的一幕,
是女主角彈奏自己的歌曲時忍不住潸然淚下,
然後她把頭靠在男主角的肩膀上。
她終於找到一個人明白自己的傷痛,可以任意地釋放情緒。
整套電影就如我在標題所寫:
平淡、寧靜,同時不失細膩動人的地方。
它流露出的一絲傷感,不需大風大浪製造。
淡淡的音樂電影,但過後我不時回想起裡面的故事。
好的電影需要這樣,它的味道能夠讓觀眾慢慢品嘗。

The Notebook (2004)
故事發生在四十年代的美國,
Allie (Rachel McAdams) 出生於富貴家庭,
偏偏喜歡上來自平民家庭的鄉郊男孩Noah (Ryan Gosling)。
那個時代講求門當戶對,Allie的父母當然阻止他們交往。
我喜歡有一幕,Allie向她母親捍衛自己的愛。
Allie: I love him.
Allie's mother: You are 17 years old, you don't know anything about love.
Allie: Oh, and you do?
You don't look at Daddy the way I look at Noah.
You don't touch or laugh. You don't play.
You don't know anything about love.
真正的愛不會受身份限制,愛的是一個人的本質,非表面。
真正的愛,是不懼怕無條件地付出時間,等待已遺忘自己的人。
Oblivion shouldn't be a fear.

About Time (2013):We can't go back
男主角運用時光倒流再次認識女主角,
但我始終認為初次見面的盲人約會是他們相處之間最甜蜜的一次。
兩人面對異性的那種害羞和尷尬,顯得很可愛和真實自然。
如果有了時光倒流,這些感覺便會全然盡失。
愛情之外,原來電影的主題軸心是親情,令電影進入更深的情感層次。
藉男主角的經歷,電影希望我們學習他如何看待他的力量。
由一開始動輒就回到過去,重新體驗「第一次」;
之後是一天結束後,把那一天再來一遍,留意之前明明在自己周邊卻忽略的小美好;
到後來決定不再依靠時光倒流的能力,好好珍惜每一分一秒。
