胡言乱语
马上又要过年了,掰掰手指头,今年大概看了小百部电影吧,从来不喜欢记录,但想着过去那么多年,读过不少书,看过不少电影,却没做过正经的读书笔记,虽然早下了XMind,用了六七年的Evernote,连Onenote都用了快5年了,也没养成个好习惯喽。很多东西真的是需要积累的,不图名不图利,纯粹是想享受自身进一寸的简单快乐并做简单的记录。
之前有老朋友从小都是看书几百本几百本看,文学素养天赋俱佳,跟我感慨这些年陷入工作与生活的泥淖,很少动笔,总觉得自己不复当年才情了。也有朋友资质平平,坚持看书坚持做翻译,现在写写文字公号阅读也有上千上万,成了圈内小V。所以,很多时候,真的就是缺那一份坚持。是选择浅藏辄止还是十年如一日,从结果论上看可能真的会差之千里,但是生活充满随机性,也许放弃了一件事可以发现更好的事儿,但是少了那份坚持,一般而言很难有大的突破。譬如JK·Rowling被拒稿十余次仍旧不放弃,换做常人被拒绝三次可能就认命了吧,正是源于自己内心的那份自信以及坚持,才有了《哈利波特》。还有斯蒂芬金,其年少的时候,把退稿订在一个钉子上,后来退稿太多,钉子断了,于是他又换了一个更大的钉子,才有后来的《肖申克的救赎》和《闪灵》。包括科幻巨擘阿西莫夫,刚开始投稿也是屡次被拒,终成巨头。
因此啊,多一份自信,多一份坚持,再加一份从容,其实生活并没那么难。
开始正文,虽然电影看得不少,但是根本不懂影评,也不像我女博士朋友那样真的是科班出身,能从机位,构图,叙事各方面去分析,因此纯粹瞎写记录而已。前两天看了《本杰明·巴顿奇事》又名《返老还童》(总是和一部香港电影《岁月神偷》搞混,也是不错的片子),改编自我非常喜欢的小说家菲茨杰拉德的短篇。导演是大导大卫·芬奇,印象中还导过 Fight Club,七宗罪, 主演是皮特大帅比及凯特·布兰切特,女主名为Daisy与The great Gatsby女主同名。故事从老年女主及那本笔记本叙述讲起,应该算回忆叙事?(附百度百科)
Impression:
- 被闪电劈7次的男人(一个知足的男人,活着足够幸运,也是养老院活的最久的?)
- Benjamin与Daisy的两次错过(年轻时,真的很容易错过,明明深爱对方却倔强和逞强)
- 所有人物都很善良 (人与人之间有现实难见的真诚与善良)
- 伊丽莎白(有的人生命中会出现这样一个人,出现这样一段爱情,无关年龄,昙花一现)
- Captain Mike(如果成长路上有这样一个人生导师,是一件非常幸运的事)
Conclusion:
- 对待生活,不求他人认可,但求自洽自得。
- Life is always so hard, pls enjoy it.
- Get married, No matter how much I earn, I’m always a loser in the eyes of my parenets and It seems I’m wasting my youth.
- Prepare for 2019, start a new business.
- Don’t worry, be happy 🙂
无论什么肤色,什么体型,人们都是孤独的。但可怕的不是孤独,而是惧怕孤独。其实孤独没什么不好,真的。
NGUNDA OTI: Plenty times you be alone. You different like us, it’s gonna be that way. But I tell you a little secret. Fat people,skinny people, tall people, white people… they just as alone as us… But they scaredshitless… Not a thing wrong with being alone… no sir…
2.Some get struck by lightning.
当我瞎了一个眼睛,几乎听不见晨间喧嚣,动不动就抽搐,总是丢三落四,上帝却依然扔下闪电来提醒我,能够活着已经是桩幸运的事了。
MR. DAWS: I’m blind in the one eye…I can’t hardly hear…I get twitches and shakes out of nowhere… I lose my line of thought… but you know what… God keeps reminding me I’m lucky to be alive…
3.Some have an ear for music.
无所谓你弹奏得怎样,重要的是你弹琴时的感受……我们命中注定要失去我们所爱之人,不然我们怎么知道他们在我们生命中有多重要?
THE WOMAN: It isn’t how well you play, it’s how you feel about what you’re playing… We’re meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us.
4.Some are artists.
有时事与愿违,你大可以像疯狗一样咆哮,怨天尤人,诅咒命运,悔不当初……但走到最后一刻,还是不得不安静地放手归去……
CAPT. MIKE: You can be mad as a mad dawg at the way things went… You can swear, curse the fates, regret everything you ever did.. but when it comes to the end… You have to let it go…
5.Some swim.
我一直等着,等着自己的状况变好,但我自己从未做过什么,人生就这么平白无辜地浪费了。
ELIZABETH ABBOTT: I kept waiting, thinking I would do something to change my circumstance… Do something… But I never did… It’s an awful waste, you can never get it back… wasted time… If we’re going to have an affair, you’re never to look at me during the day, we must always part by sunrise, and we can never say “I And when it is over I will send you a card that will simply say goodbye… Those are the rules…
当我还是个小孩子的时候我会早早醒来跑到湖边看日出。那一刻的感觉,好像全世界只有我一个人似的。
THOMAS BUTTON: When I was a boy I would love to wake up before anybody else and run down to the lake to watch the day begin. It was as if I was the only one alive.
7.Some know Shakespeare.
看守我这衰弱的老头子的好人们,让垂死的摩提默在这儿歇一歇吧。我由于长期监禁,肢体痛楚不堪,好像刚从刑架上拖下来的人一般。我这满头白发,是在苦难的岁月中折磨出来的,它预示着摩提默的死期不远了。
TIZZY: “Kind keepers of my weak decaying age, Let dying Mortimer here rest himself. Even like a man new haled from the rack. So fare my limbs with long imprisonment. And these gray locks, the pursuivants of death, Nestor-like aged in an age of care, Argue the end of Edmund Mortimer.”
8.Some are mothers.
每个人对于自己的感受都不一样。我们都走向同一个方向,只是走的路不同罢了。本杰明,你有你自己的道路。
QUEENIE: Everybody feels different about themselves one way or another. We’re all goin’ the same way, just taking different roads to get there… You’re on your own road, Benjamin.
9.And some people, dance.
有些东西,是亘古不变的。
DAISY: Maybe some things last.
There is always something that I should remember for the rest of my life.
总有一些事情是我需要铭记一生的。
You could be mad as a mad dog at 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
但是等到最后一刻到来之时
你还得平静的放手而去。
For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case, too early, to be whoever you want to be.
There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same.
There’s no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it.
I hope you make the best of it.
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 are not,
I hope you have the strength 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,做事本不应该有所束缚,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人生。如果你想象的生活不一样,我希望你能有勇气重新启程。
You never know what’s coming for you!
你永远也不清楚… 接下来会发生什么
We’re meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?
我们注定要失去我们所爱的人,要不然我们怎么知道他们对我们有多么的重要。
What are you thinking?
I was thinking how nothing lasts.
And what a shame that is.
Some things last.
-Goodnight, Daisy.
-Goodnight, Benjamin.
你在想什么呢?
我在想没有什么东西能持续到永远的…
我们也不例外
有些东西就是会持续到永远的
– 晚安,黛西
– 晚安,本杰明
