Flipped


无聊的上网找戏看。看到这部评分很高,而且也很近期,2010年的美国电影。电影的叙述方式很像《the lovely bone》,主角们用口白的方式,跟着剧情说出他们的心情,很好的引导我们走进他们的世界。

像电影名字所示,这部戏说的是纯纯的心动。一个小女生juli从小到大,单纯的喜欢一位邻家男孩bryce,因为他的笑容?或蓝色的眼睛?她喜欢他,有时候和他说话,觉得他也有点意思,可是另一厢男生的自白,却充满对这个女生的厌恶和奇怪。可是渐渐长大后,看的东西就不会一样了。慢慢的,女生发现了男生一些胆小虚伪的事,她开始理智了。喜欢了那么多年的男生,被知道了这些缺点,还会喜欢吗?

剧情里有一段,是juli的爸爸一边画画一边和她说话:

Father asked Juli:"What's going on with you and, uh, Bryce Loski?"

Juli 像被说中心事却又若无其事,试探爸爸为什么问,最后还是简单的说出心里的感受。

Juli answered:"I guess it's something about his eyes.Or maybe his smile."

F's Q:"But what about him?"

J Q:"What?"

F A:" You have to look at the whole landscape."

J Q:"What does that mean?"

F A:"A painting is more than the sum of its parts.A cow by itself is just a cow.A meadow by itself is just grass, flowers. And the sun peeking through the trees is just a beam of light.

But you put them all together and it can be magic."

就是这样,“whole & part”的哲理,说的是,我们先是看见一个人或一件事的局部,然后慢慢认识更多,会使得他的整体变得更美好,还是比较差了呢?刚开始喜欢一个笑容,然后眼睛,然后再深入了解,就知道能够被喜欢的理由不仅仅这么肤浅,而这个时候,我们就会抛开外表,理智的从character了解一个人,才怦然心动。就像bryce爷爷说的:
"Some of us get dipped in flat,some in satin,some in gloss.
But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent.
And when you do, nothing will ever compare."

这就是作者要表达的意思了:
"It takes awhile in life to learn the skill of seeing beyond who’s cute or popular. So I wrote Flipped as a way of talking to kids and trying to illustrate how they can learn to recognize the character of the people they meet instead of what they look like.”

但是怎么说都是次要的,感觉还是很重要。最后juli要假装不理不睬,还是忍不住在乎了,而bryce也开始flipped了,很可爱的转折和结局,呵呵。故事里很让我喜欢的也有他们的家庭生活,juli有温暖开放的父母,虽不富裕,她从他们那里得到很多珍贵的爱和正确的价值观,这让她保持上进、热忱,会愿意动手改变看不过眼的现实,渐渐的,她在发光,好美丽的成长。荡漾心倘的小品,陪伴我了一个很好的晚上。

十一月:随笔

最近时间刷刷刷,感觉一下子就来到了年尾。 今年,是我第三年留在上海了。我总觉得上海这座城市是眷顾着我的。第一年遇到了疫情封城,但是个很难得让我认识周遭邻居,也收了大概8大箱政府支援的蔬菜食材,认识了这座城市常有的食物。每年的生日,这城市也变着花样送点什么给我,哈哈。第一年,刚巧有...
