学了个新词——「提喻法」,通过用事物的一部分来代表其整体,或者用事物的整体来代表其一部分。真是好神奇,从来没听过还有这种修辞手法。
电影非常闷,弥漫着孤独与死亡的气息,情节也晦涩、错综复杂,非常,非常漫长的两小时。
两段台词
先把电影里我非常喜欢的两段台词记下来。
里尔克的《秋日》(Herbsttag)
一个出现在电影的开头,查了下,出自里尔克的 Herbsttag:
Whoever has no house now Will never have one
Whoever is alone will stay alone
Will sit, read, write long letters Through the evening
And wander the boulevards Up and down, restlessly
While the dry leaves are blowing
牧师的讲话
另一个是排练时牧师的讲话:
Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make. You can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won’t know for 20 years, and you may never, ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there is, it’s what you create. And even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are only here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years for a phone call or a letter or a look, from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes, or it seems to, but it doesn’t really. So you spend your time in vague regret, or vaguer hope that something good will come along. Something to make you feel connected. Something to make you feel whole. Something to make you feel loved. And the truth is, I feel so angry. And the truth is, I feel so fucking sad. And the truth is, I’ve felt so fucking hurt for so fucking long. And for just as long, I’ve been pretending I’m okay, just to get along, just for… I don’t know why. Maybe because no one wants to hear about my misery, because they have their own.
中文翻译
有些长,Gemini 来翻译一下:
万事万物之复杂,远超你所想。你所能窥见的真相,不过是冰山一角。
你做出的每一个抉择背后,都牵系着千丝万缕的因果。每一次选择,都可能让你的人生万劫不复。但也许要等到二十年后你才后知后觉,甚至永远也无法追溯其祸根何在。而这场人生大戏,你只有一次上台的机会。试着去理清你那如乱麻般的生活吧。
人们常说命运并不存在,其实不然,命运真实存在,它正是你一手造就的。
纵使天地恒久,万古长存,你在此驻足的时光,不过是弹指一挥间的须臾,甚至连须臾都算不上。在漫长的岁月长河里,你多半处于未生或已死的状态。
然而就在这仅有的生之时光里,你却在徒劳的等待中虚度数载——等待一通电话、一封信件、或是某人某物投来的惊鸿一瞥,指望着它们能让一切好起来。但救赎从未降临,又或许看似近在咫尺,实则镜花水月。
于是,你在隐约的悔恨中消磨时光,或是怀揣着更为渺茫的希冀,期盼着会有好事发生。期盼能与人产生羁绊,期盼灵魂不再残缺,期盼能感受到被爱。
而事实是,我满腔怒火。
事实是,我真他妈的难过。
事实是,这该死的伤害已经折磨我太久太久了。而在同样漫长的岁月里,我一直在粉饰太平,假装安好,只为了合群,只为了……我也说不清是为了什么。
也许是因为没人愿意倾听我的苦难吧,毕竟众生皆苦,谁又顾得上谁呢。
