晚饭做了两道大菜,一盘减轻负罪感的蒜蓉西兰花,唯一的疏漏是,因为做菜花了太多时间,端上桌杯盘都准备好了,却没选好电影,试图点开几部新片,却都好像缺点什么,脑袋里忽然又蹦出飞机掠过沙漠上空,画面悠长,于是重新看了一遍The English patient.
很多年前看过一遍,剧情和细节其实都不清晰记得了,但有些画面音乐,片段很深刻的存放在记忆里,时不时还会蹦出来,虽然不懂电影技术,但这部电影的摄像,剪辑,音乐可谓登峰造极,舒缓流畅,丝丝入扣,开头和结尾沙漠中,女主飘扬的白纱,飞机掠过沙漠的影子,悠扬的埃及歌谣,许多年后仍然难忘。
这不是一部三观正确,政治正确的电影,但却让人动容。首先战争是不是每个人想要的?对于男主来说肯定不是,他是个满腹经纶,浪漫至极,沙漠里都要随身携带一本厚厚的古历史书的无国界地理学家,做的不过是勘测,军事政治都不是他关心的,战争的大背景下,影片的色彩和画面里很少有血腥杀戮,紧张急迫,显然男主的视线里世界也是这样的,沙漠夜间帐篷篝火歌声舞蹈游戏,从天而降的命中注定之人,在劫难逃的爱情,那才是他的全世界,他执着,炙热,炙热到最后如同自己写下的诗句一样,被燃烧融化掉,这里开玩笑说Ralph Fiennes可不是从伏地魔开始没有鼻子没有脸的,这么早的片子他就跟无脸人结缘了。
影片中有多处阅读,护士,印度军官给病人阅读,女主在篝火转盘游戏中讲的故事,以及最后女主写下,蒙太奇切换护士和女主交错的阅读,每段都非常棒,节奏刚刚好,贴一下影片最后女主这一段,情感真挚,韵脚分明,男女主人设的背景学识体现在语言上真是极致的浪漫。
My darling.
I'm waiting for you.
How long is a day in the dark?
Or a week?
The fire is gone now.
And I'm cold, horribly cold.
I really want to drag myself outside but then there'd be the sun.
I'm afraid I waste the light on the paintings, and I'm not writing these words.
We die. We die,
we die rich with lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have...entered and swum up like rivers.
Fears we have hidden in like this wretched cave.
I want all this marked on my body.
We're the real countries, not the boundaries drawn on maps with the names of powerful men.
I know you'll come and carry me out into the Palace of Winds.
That's what I've wanted: to walk in such a place with you, with friends, on the earth without maps.
The lamp has gone out and I'm writing in the darkness.
