爱情是灵魂的仙丹

爱情就像一场疾病，

狂喜、悼念、伤心、失望

——各式心思轮替来袭，

无东谈主能够脱逃。

然而，

每个东谈主都在爱情里成长，

学会尊重、包容、体谅，最终完善了我方。

爱情也许是一场疾病，

却亦然灵魂的良药，

让东谈主在祸殃中反想、内省，

赶走内心的自利与残忍。

My Blueberry Nights蓝莓之夜：同归殊途的爱之旅

◎ 文 / 张仪

爱，在多猛进程上关乎距离？有时候，耳鬓厮磨的执着相守却拦不住体贴荏苒的爱意；而有时候，超越沉，百找千寻，却发现——原来爱东谈主就在旅程首先的起程点等你……

《蓝莓之夜》(My Blueberry Nights)取材于导演王家卫早期的一部电影短片，影片由三个孤独的故事构成。作为干印迹的女主角Elizabeth因爱而起的一次旅行，将这三个孤独的故事串联成了一场同归殊途的对于爱的旅程。

被女友扬弃的Jeremy在纽约的街角经营着一个小酒吧。一个冬日的夜晚，Jeremy领路了被男友糊弄的Elizabeth。两东谈主同舟共济，心有戚戚，情怀暗生。但蒙胧作痛的旧伤口如故让他们遴选了不同的方式健忘畴前：Jeremy遴选留住第待爱来叩门，而Elizabeth则决定离开这座伤心之城，驱动了孤独的寻爱之旅。Elizabeth首先来到了孟菲斯，在那里她见证了一场略带血腥的爱情悲催。之后又来到内华达州，却差点成为一个赌场老手的猎物。经验了三百天的孤独旅程，Elizabeth领路到她爱的东谈主其实就在这个旅程的起程点。于是她回到纽约，回到了Jeremy的小酒吧里。在王家卫唯好意思的俯拍镜头中，Jeremy轻吻掉Elizabeth嘴角的奶油，两个东谈主的爱情苦旅终于划上了圆满的句号。

蓝莓派和钥匙——王家卫的电影记号

王家卫不愧是一位电影记号民众，他总能以独有的手法和视角给其电影打上彰着的王氏烙迹。正如看到猛火中遨游的白鸽就能定位吴宇森一样，污秽的烟圈、出租车里斜倚的身段、快速挪动的高跟鞋，以及怀旧的拉丁音乐都是王氏电影的身份证。

天然，阔别王家卫电影的不单是是画面和镜头记号，还有好多具象的实体。《阿飞正传》里的无脚鸟、《春光乍泻》里的伊瓦苏瀑布、《名目年华》里的船票，都是故事情节里极端伏击的传情之物。在《蓝莓之夜》里，担任这伏击串联变装的则是蓝莓派和钥匙。

蓝莓派在电影中曾两度出现，一个在开头，一个在扫尾。对于蓝莓派，Jeremy和Elizabeth也有一段寓意丰富的对话。

Jeremy: It's like these pies and cakes. At the end of every night, the cheesecake and the apple pie are always completely gone. The peach cobbler and the chocolate mousse cake are nearly finished. But there's always a whole blueberry pie left untouched.

Elizabeth: So what's wrong with the blueberry pie?

Jeremy: There's nothing wrong with the blueberry pie. It's just people make other choices. You can't blame the blueberry pie. It's just no one wants it.

归拢个东谈主，归拢种派，先后两次试吃，却是两种滋味。Elizabeth第一次在酒吧点蓝莓派时，正在试吃被扬弃后的自卑感，以为我方就像没东谈主要的蓝莓派。而当Elizabeth回到纽约，在Jeremy身上找到遗失的爱情之后，第二次点了一份蓝莓派。当Elizabeth大口大口地咀嚼着蓝莓派时，她的脸上挂着甜密。原来这没东谈主要的蓝莓派，竟是如斯适口。寻找到爱情的Elizabeth也再次找回了自信。电影中的蓝莓派就像生活中的爱情，不关乎自身的滋味，只关乎不同的遴选。

如果说蓝莓派是Elizabeth的化身，钥匙则是Jeremy的替身。Jeremy在影片中还有一项特殊兼职，就是替构兵的顾主转交钥匙。

Jeremy: I've had customers leaving keys here for years. Sometimes they pick them up in a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks.

Elizabeth: Well, what about most of the time?

Jeremy: Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar.

Elizabeth: Well, why do you keep them? You should just throw them out.

Jeremy: No. I couldn't do that.

Elizabeth: Why not?

Jeremy: If I threw these keys away, then those doors will be closed forever. And that shouldn't be up to me to decide, should it?

原来，每一串钥匙都代表一个幻灭的爱情故事。钥匙是打开房门的器具，两东谈主共有一把钥匙是两东谈主相互信任、相互慰藉、共同生活的暗意。而每把交出去的钥匙则代表着关闭的心门。有时候，这扇心门还不错再打开，是以“Sometimes they pick them up in a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks.”但是绝大大宗时候，却是破镜难以重圆，覆水也难再收。“Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar.”

但在这一罐钥匙里，有一串钥匙尤其融为一体。

Jeremy: These keys used to belong to a young lad from Manchester, England, who made plans and had dreams of running every marathon in this country starting in New York. He was going to write a journal about his experiences and ended up running a cáfe. Later they were given to a Russian girl who loved collecting keys and watching sunsets. Unfortunately, she loved sunsets more than the keys and ended up disappearing into one.

Elizabeth: Why didn't you go looking for her?

Jeremy: When I was little, my mum used to take me to the park on weekends. She said if I ever got lost. I had to stay in one place so that she'd find me.

Elizabeth: Does that work?

Jeremy: Not really. She got lost once looking for me.

在这一段对话中，Jeremy以第三东谈主称混沌地阐发了我方的故事。然而，概况是同舟共济，Elizabeth心领意会，坐窝领路到那位来自曼彻斯特、满怀狂放目的的英国小伙其实就是面前的Jeremy。但她和Jeremy却具备了两种不同的性格特征：Elizabeth柔滑的外在下荫藏着一颗倔强和冒险的灵魂，而Jeremy却更像一个被迫的恭候者。Jeremy说的一句话也暗意了他的东谈主生形而上学：“If I ever got lost, I had to stay in one place.”这种性格的矛盾也决定了两个东谈主在急忙数面之后注定遴选不同的方式疗伤：Elizabeth义无反顾地踏上了莫得野心肠的征途，而Jeremy则赓续偏安于纽约一角，在他的咖啡馆里等候爱情的再次来临。

有时候，一个东谈主的出当前常能改变另一个东谈主的生活，以至完全颠覆对方的性格。也难怪有东谈主说：“The reason I love you is not because who you are, but because who I am when I am with you.”Elizabeth与Jeremy的相遇为两东谈主最后的变装互换埋下了种子。在影片扫尾处，Elizabeth回到了纽约，因为在离开纽约的三百多天里，她发现她爱的东谈主本色上就在旅程驱动的所在。而Jeremy死水微澜的心在Elizabeth走后如被暴风暴雨掀翻的海面，他不竭地寻找着Elizabeth，哪怕毫无印迹。他以至决心关门停业，卖掉咖啡馆，废弃他从小到大所遵照的鼠穴寻羊式的东谈主生形而上学。为了体现Jeremy的这一伏击转变，当影片最后Jeremy和Elizabeth再次重逢时，王家卫不忘再次借钥匙传达神志。

Elizabeth: Where are the keys? You don't keep them anymore?

Jeremy: I've been trying to give them back to their owners. Do you want yours?

Elizabeth: No. I don't need them anymore. What about your keys?

Jeremy: I got rid of them.

这么的结局再完好意思不外：各自丢掉那一串不忍舍弃的钥匙，如同斩掉先前剪陆续、理还乱的苦恋情丝。在经验过铭记心骨的伤痛之后，两个东谈主经验了完全不同的旅程，如同完成了从蛹到蝶的编削，终于修成正果。Elizabeth这块“蓝莓派”，终于找到了情有独钟的仰慕者。而Jeremy的钥匙串里，也终于有了一把打开爱情锁的新钥匙。

爱情与目田——生命不可承受之重

Elizabeth离开纽约之后，首先来到了孟菲斯，在那里作念了女招待。在那边，她遇到了一个因内助红杏出墙而沉溺于乙醇的名叫Arnie的视察。Arnie有一对被威士忌浸泡的眼睛，他是酒吧里的常客，并在一次夜里借助乙醇的力量痛打了和内助偷情的男东谈主Randy。Arnie的暴力激起了内助Sue Lynne的盛怒，两东谈主因此发生了强烈的争执。Arnie在无聊之中驾车身一火，没东谈主知谈是事故如故自戕。Arnie身后，Sue Lynne来到了她与Arnie初度相遇的所在，并向Elizabeth谈出了她内心对Arnie复杂的爱恨纠葛。

Sue Lynne: I was seventeen when he pulled me over … Who'd have thought we'd be married? In love with a cop, and stuck in this godforsaken

Elizabeth: You must have hated him.

Sue Lynne: I didn't hate him. I just wanted him to let go of me. And now that he has, it hurts me more than anything else in the whole world. This is where we met. Right here.

Arnie与Sue Lynne之间冲突的爱情关系一直是个悬念，而厌恶Arnie的Sue Lynne对丈夫噩讯的强烈反应也出东谈主料想，直到这段对话解开了通盘的谜底。Sue Lynne并不脑怒Arnie，相背，Arnie的死给她带来了铭记心骨的祸殃。Sue Lynne无法忍受的只是Arnie对她的为止欲。Arnie在影片中的视察身份，似乎亦然对他毅力性格的暗意。当Arnie竭尽其所能也不可留住Sue Lynne时，他最后掏出枪瞄准了我方的内助。这是一个寓意复杂的镜头，在这组画面中，Arnie的身份坐窝从丈夫迁徙成了视察；而枪口下的Sue Lynne则从一个内助迁徙成一个囚犯。矛盾冲突的最终后果是Sue Lynne宁死也不肯回到Arnie的身边，而醉心Sue Lynne的Arnie最后并莫得扣响扳机。这是爱到顶点的两个变装为止与反为止的响应，也绝对宣判了Arnie的死刑。

爱情和婚配并不是一个东谈主对另一东谈主的通盘制，密不通风的爱情正如高浓度的氧气，也会让东谈主窒息。Arnie对Sue Lynne的情感是一种令东谈主心酸的、自戕式的乖谬神志，而深陷爱情囚笼的Sue Lynne也已丧失了目田、尊重和权力。爱情蓝本莫得错；错的只是爱的方式。概况，王家卫但愿通过影片中这个唯一的暴力故事，传达他对爱情中的目田空间的领路：持紧手心，什么也莫得；打开手心，就领有了一切。

信任与糊弄——我本善良

离开了孟菲斯，Elizabeth来到了内华达州。在这里，发生了一个与爱情无关的故事。Elizabeth在内华达州一个赌场里作念女招待，并在一场赌局中遇到了年龄轻轻却世故老辣的女赌徒Leslie。为了得回赌资，Leslie与Elizabeth达成公约：Elizabeth为Leslie提供赌资，如果Leslie赢了，她要将本金和赢得的三分之一都给Elizabeth，但如果Leslie输了，她将把她的车送给Elizabeth以偿还赌资。最终，诡计多端的Leslie赢了牌局，但她却不肯将赢得的三分之一给Elizabeth，于是骗她说我方大输特输。善良的Elizabeth天然自后知谈了真相，但却拒却废弃与东谈主为善的作念东谈主原则。Elizabeth的“不开教学”，以至有些莫得原则的信任温柔良深深轰动了Leslie，她苦心警戒Elizabeth不要等闲驯服别东谈主。

Leslie: Trust everyone but always cut the cards

Elizabeth: If you're so good at reading people.

Leslie: Then why did I lose?

Elizabeth: Yeah.

Leslie: Because you can't always win. You can beat players but you can't beat luck. Sometimes your rhythm's off; you read the person right but still do the wrong thing.

Elizabeth: Because you trust them?

Leslie: Because you can't even trust yourself.

但善良的Elizabeth顽固地拒却了Leslie的“厚黑学”。她在给Jeremy的信中说：“In the last few days, I've been learning how to not trust people and I'm glad I failed. Sometimes we depend on other people as a mirror to define us and tell us who we are. And each reflection makes me like myself a little more.”

一个毫无防东谈主之心，一个毫无信东谈主之心，两边都认定对方早已无药可救。戏剧性的是，就是这么两个性格截然对立的东谈主物，却因一辆汽车而建立起了一份神志。凭据两边首先的商定，Leslie说她输掉了赌资，那么她应该将她手中的汽车送给Elizabeth。而Elizabeth正需要一辆车，这亦然她一直打工攒钱的野心。但Leslie却不可把车给Elizabeth，因为那辆车是她刚刚过世的父亲留给她的唯一遗产。这么的一组矛盾使剧情冲突变得横蛮起来。搀杂进来的父女之情、同情之心使两东谈主之间本来肤浅的债权与债务、信任与糊弄的关系变得复杂起来。最终，善良的Elizabeth为了周密Leslie对其一火父的想念，废弃了索求那辆汽车的权力；而Leslie则为Elizabeth买了一辆二手汽车，匡助她开回了纽约。

在这么一组矛盾里，汽车被影片赋予了一种特殊的情感含义。它代表着亲情，见证了Leslie对其一火父的哑忍的乱骂；它代表着善良，面对切切父女之情，Elizabeth废弃了对物资的追求；它代表着但愿，Leslie千方百计留住老父亲给她的唯一遗产，反射出她麻痹、阴雨的心底里未被沾污的处女地；它代表着救赎，当最后两东谈主各自驾车分谈扬镳时，Leslie曾经的麻痹表情已变为满眼的轸恤与幸福——Elizabeth的简陋对她的冲击照旧显而易见。概况，她曾经经如斯简陋。

《蓝莓之夜》虽是一部爱情影片，但它所包含的深意照旧超出了柔情密意之情自身的短促寓意——一又友多情，配偶有别，父女亲情已系数涵盖其中。不外，概况是Jeremy与Elizabeth的爱情故事略显腐朽古老，反倒烘托得另外两个孤独故事更显深切，引东谈主想考。然而，抛开电影情节喧宾夺主的嫌疑，《蓝莓之夜》仍是一部赏心悦野心电影。因为，王家卫从不会放过任何一个镜头制造妩媚，就连演员们吸烟、翻筹码的动作都显得融为一体。

Ruby Sparks恋恋书中东谈主：爱情是灵魂的良药

◎ 文 / 散布的鱼

爱情就像一场疾病，狂喜、悼念、伤心、失望——各式心思轮替来袭，无东谈主能够脱逃。然而，每个东谈主都在爱情里成长，学会尊重、包容、体谅，最终完善了我方。爱情也许是一场疾病，却亦然灵魂的良药，让东谈主在祸殃中反想、内省，赶走内心的自利与残忍。

也许每一个东谈主心里都藏着一个东谈主，那是咱们在我方的内心世界所塑造的爱东谈主，一个完好意思的精神幻象。阿谁东谈主舒适了咱们在不同期期对爱的幻想和渴慕，却永远不可能在践诺中与咱们相遇。如果相遇，那便成了电影《恋恋书中东谈主》(Ruby Sparks)中所叙述的故事。

当爱情无端驾临

影片《恋恋书中东谈主》的男主东谈主公Calvin是一个才想穷乏、邑邑寡欢的演义家，不仅写稿碰到瓶颈，生活也不尽如东谈主意。他光棍，茕居，莫得一又友，只消哥哥Harry偶尔来看他，与他说说心里话，此外便只剩下一只小狗Scotty与他相伴。心思低垂的Calvin时常乞助于心理大夫，但愿能早日复原对创作和生活的信心。

某天晚上，Calvin梦到了一个女孩，蓦地之间有了灵感，于是驱动夙兴夜处地纵容写稿。他想象着她有一头红色的长发和一对碧绿的眼睛，笑貌明媚，有一颗孩子一样单纯的心。Calvin给她取名为Ruby Sparks。Ruby很早就辍学，喜欢画画，会烹调，况兼善解东谈主意。Calvin按照我方的喜好塑造了她，在作假的演义中赋予了她水灵的生命，并发觉我方渐渐爱上了她。他将我方这种奇妙的情怀告诉了心理大夫。

Calvin: What I'm trying to say is it's almost like I'm writing to spend time with her.

Psychiatrist: Who?

Calvin: The girl. The one I'm writing. It's ... I go to sleep at night, just waiting to get to my typewriter again so I can be with her. It's like ... it's like I'm falling in love with her.

Psychiatrist: That's wonderful.

Calvin: No, it's not. I can't fall in love with a girl I write.

Psychiatrist: Why not?

Calvin: Because she's not real.

然而，在一个朝晨，当Calvin走下楼梯时，却发现Ruby出目前他的厨房里。Calvin蹙悚不安，以为我方精神芜乱了。不管Ruby怎么对他笑，跟他讲话，或碰触他的身段，Calvin都认定Ruby不外是我方的幻觉。他躲在房间里，打电话四处乞助。他的哥哥Harry也无法驯服他的奇遇，于是建议他带Ruby外出，看别东谈主能不可看到Ruby。

Calvin走上街头，Ruby紧随其旁，但Calvin却不敢与她对话，或许别东谈主把我方当成疯子。为了缓解懦弱和没衷一是的心情，Calvin去跟一个生疏粉丝约聚，后果画虎类狗：通盘东谈主都能看到Ruby，约聚的女孩尴尬万分，Ruby更是震怒不已。Calvin先是感到骇怪，继而又喜不自禁，追回了因伤心而跑开的Ruby。

寰宇面哪有这么的功德？梦中情东谈主竟然变成践诺中的恋东谈主，爱情竟然会无端地驾临，好像天主对他开了一个玩笑。

接下来的日子是Calvin东谈主生中最好意思好的时光。这个因我方的内心渴慕而出现的东谈主的容貌、特性、民风，以至那些旁东谈主无法捉摸而他却无比熟习的小性子，都令他沉醉不已。爱情出乎无意，谁能料到呢？在他最孤独失落的时候，她像天神一样降落在他的身边，拯救了他的东谈主生。他们追赶打闹、看恐怖电影、试吃好意思食、舞蹈、亲吻……还有什么比相爱更好意思好呢？爱情仿佛能诊治通盘伤口，因为爱情，通盘的恭候和伤痛都值得，一切的困扰都不再是难题。

Calvin沉浸在爱情的喜悦里，意思意思盎然地将我方的奇遇告诉了哥哥Harry。首先Harry以为Calvin只是想象力过于丰富，不肯驯服——直到他在Calvin家见到了Ruby。骇怪之余，Harry未免系念Ruby可能是个骗子。为了阐明Ruby的确是Calvin笔下创造出来的东谈主物，Harry建议Calvin在演义文稿中对Ruby进行再创造，看践诺中的Ruby是否会随之改变。

Harry: Has it occurred to you that she might be an imposter

Calvin: Okay. You're the only one who's read my manuscript. So unless you're playing some terrible joke …

Harry: Okay, okay, okay. Let's say you created this person. Everything you wrote about her came true. Even the smallest things?

Calvin: Yes.

Harry: Have you tried writing more?

Calvin: No.

Harry: Write something about her.

Calvin: Why? She's perfect.

Harry: Write something about her, and see if it comes true. If it does, then you're right and this is a miracle. And if nothing happens, maybe we go the police.

在Harry的怂恿下，Calvin来到打字机旁，写下这么一句话：Ruby讲流利的法语，她我方却不知情。最后一个字母刚刚敲完，Ruby果然驱动对他们讲法语，像说母语一样天然。Harry不得不驯服了弟弟的奇遇，而且对Calvin能专揽自若地为止Ruby感到极端赞誉。而Calvin却对Harry说，他决不再动那本奇异的演义，Ruby那么完好意思，他不想再改变她。

热恋的时候，谁会想去改变爱东谈主？他(她)那么好，那么善解东谈主意，看上去满身都是优点。而我方有再多的瑕玷，在爱东谈主眼中亦然寥落和唯一无二的。爱情的好意思好正在于它不错接管和包容遗憾，当Calvin遇到Ruby，他们的瑕玷在对方眼中都不复存在，只剩下爱情的甜密。

当激情渐渐恐惧

可惜好景不常，像大大宗情侣一样，Calvin和Ruby在激情恐惧之后也驱动有争执和隔阂。偶尔，Ruby会质疑Calvin的决定，不喜欢他的某些行径和民风，或是对他的格调感到起火。在他们一王人去打听Calvin的母亲和继父时，两东谈主之间驱动有了裂痕。

Calvin的母亲是一个追求目田生活和狂放爱情的女东谈主，他的继父是一个待东谈主热心、沉醉于植物与木雕艺术的男东谈主，两东谈主构成了一个调和愉快的家庭。然而，这一切并莫得得到Calvin的领路和祝愿。当母亲邀请他带女友一王人共度周末时，Calvin首先以各式事理赐与拒却，自后在Ruby的宝石下他才决定带她去见母亲，但内心并不宁肯。

在Calvin的母亲家，Ruby对一切都感到眷顾，也为Calvin母亲的包涵和亲切所感动，跟通盘东谈主相处得都很融洽。而Calvin则对一切推崇得很冷淡，不管是母亲的亲近如故继父的示好，他都不为所动。不仅如斯，对于Ruby与大众的融洽相处他也感到有些起火，两东谈主在对待Calvin家东谈主的格调上出现了一些不对。

Ruby: Calvin, Calvin. I forgot to tell you. Your mom said that she was gonna teach me how to bake a pie. She says we can just go out in the garden and pick the berries ourselves. Isn't that amazing?

Calvin: She didn't used to be like this.

Ruby: Like what?

Calvin: When dad was around, she wore polo shirts and cooked meat. It's like she's been brainwashed.

Ruby: I think she and Mortseem really happy.

Calvin的母亲能够包容Calvin的冷酷格调，但这不代表Calvin的爱东谈主也能作念到。爱情与父母之爱的不同之处在于后者忘我，前者则需要反馈与答谢。在恋爱中，莫得哪个东谈主不错作念到完全付出，不求答谢。相爱是灵魂的相守和安危与共，需要平等的回馈。一朝天平失衡，爱情得以持续的力量便可能不复存在。

从Calvin的母亲家归来之后，两东谈主的生活渐渐堕入危机。Calvin老是沉浸在我方的世界里写稿、看书，对身边东谈主置若罔闻，这让Ruby大为起火。两东谈主之间的矛盾日益加深，Ruby驱动有了一些新的缠绵。

Ruby: You read your stupid book all weekend. Your mom and Mort were trying so hard.

Calvin: I'm sorry.

Ruby: You don't have any friends.

Calvin: I have you. I don't need anyone else.

Ruby: That's a lot of pressure. I'm so lonely.

Calvin: No. Don't say that. Please. What do we do? How do we make it better?

Ruby: Maybe I can take an art class.

Calvin: Great. An art class. Get out of the house. It's good.

Ruby: And I think I should start spending some nights at my apartment again.

Calvin: Your apartment?

Ruby: One night a week. As an experiment.

Ruby提倡每周回我方的公寓睡一晚，这让Calvin有些无意，也有些不宁肯，但为了改善两东谈主的关系，他只好同意Ruby的决定。可Ruby不在的第一个晚上，Calvin便失眠了。当一个东谈主熟习了另一个东谈主的存在，他会渐渐无视她，只消当她不在身边时，他才会发现她的伏击。

Ruby: How was your night?

Calvin: Terrible.

Ruby: I'm sorry.

Calvin: I don't think this experiment is gonna work for me.

Ruby: There has to be space in the relationship. Otherwise, it's like we're the same person. Listen, it's one night a week. I think you can handle it.

走披缁门的Ruby不仅在学习中结交了新一又友，而且有了更多新的缠绵和想法。她的东谈主生驱动变得充实，却与烦懑的Calvin渐行渐远。这一切让Calvin感到没衷一是、蹙悚不安。他努力想把Ruby拉回来，但Ruby照旧驱动了她我方的东谈主生。

当暖和的面具被撕破

Calvin以为我方和Ruby的距离越来越远，将近失去她了。有一次Ruby与一又友外出，直到更阑都莫得回家。Calvin躺在床上转辗反侧，毫无睡意。就在此时，他脑中蓦地闪过一个念头。于是他起身来到打字机旁，打开闭塞已久的抽屉，拿出那本厚厚的演义稿。他曾经下定决心不再写那本改变我方东谈主生的演义，不再改变Ruby，此时却忍不住在打字机上敲出我方的情意。他只不外想通过些许的调整让Ruby回到他的身边，两东谈主重回以往的甜密生活。

于是他写谈：莫得Calvin，Ruby祸殃不胜。刚写完这句话，他便接到Ruby打来的电话，声息中充满了失落和悲伤：“Calvin, I wanna come home.”外出聚积的Ruby回到家，缩倦到Calvin的怀抱里。这让一度堕入苦恼的Calvin感到欣慰——Ruby原璧送还，一切仿佛又回到好意思好的首先。然而此后，Ruby的性格却因此大变，整天邑邑寡欢，要与Calvin坐卧不离，连吃饭都要手拉手，一刻也不可分开。有一次，两东谈主看完电影后在街头失踪，Ruby伤心不已，回家后呜咽不啻。

看着悲伤的Ruby，Calvin不得已重新走向打字机，敲出这么一行字：Ruby快乐无比。刚敲完最后一个字，他便听到Ruby的笑声，Ruby果然变得像孩子般自在欢喜。然而，变得开心的Ruby并莫得让Calvin省心，她遍地随时、毫无原由的快乐让东谈主恍混沌惚，使她看起来就像神经出了问题。不管Calvin说什么或作念什么，Ruby的反应只消一个——开心。

Calvin: I'm thinking about going away for a few months. By myself.

Ruby: Where do you wanna go?

Calvin: I don't know. Um, somewhere far.

Ruby: You could send me postcards. I love getting mail.

Calvin: Or I might hole uphere in the house, not even go outside.

Ruby: Cool. We could build a pillow fort.

她不再需要他，也不再需要爱，他们之间的爱被盲野心快乐堵截。当生活的祸殃和忧伤都不复存在，隧谈的快乐便显得毫无真谛。Ruby变成了一个一直咧着嘴笑的木偶，不再是他的爱东谈主。于是，失落的作者再次写谈：Ruby就是Ruby，开心或痛心，随她所愿。

然而，此次改变仍然莫得如Calvin所愿。由于Ruby之前心思滚动得太快，她以为我方内心的罗盘灭绝了，因此心思非常低垂，特性也变得暴躁，任何一件小事都能激愤她。在一次争吵过后，Ruby同意Calvin提倡的外出走走的建议，随着他去参加一又友聚积。

在聚积中，Calvin遇到了前女友Lila。两东谈主谈起旧事，未免旧怨重提，后果争吵起来，弄得不欢而散。与此同期，Ruby在聚积上饱食竟日地闲荡，当刚与前女友争吵完的Calvin找到Ruby时，她正衣着内衣跟一个男东谈主在拍浮池里谈笑，Calvin顿时大为光火。回到家后，两东谈主大吵了一架。

Calvin: You're supposed to be my girlfriend.

Ruby: I am your girlfriend.

Calvin: So act like it.

Ruby: I'm sorry I wasn't acting like the platonic

Calvin: Why? Because I don't want you skinny-dipping

Ruby: Because you don't want me doing anything! You have all these rules and you don't tell me what they are until, whoops, I've broken one. And then you get to be disappointed with me?

积贮已久的矛盾在这一刻爆发，两东谈主鼎力地宣泄对相互的起火。最后Ruby终于孰不可忍，高声对Calvin说：“I'm not your child! You don't get to decide what I do.”Calvin则冷淡又近乎恶毒地回答：“Wanna bet?”

身心困窘的Ruby不想再多费短长，她准备离开，但愿时候和距离能修补两东谈主间的瑕玷。而肝火万丈的Calvin照旧失去沉着冷静，他将真相告诉了Ruby：她是他创造的。

Calvin来到打字机旁，写谈：Ruby讲法语。Ruby口中说出的话顿时变成了法语，而在她的领路中我方从来就不会讲法语。Ruby骇怪万分，胁制Calvin是怎么作念到的，Calvin却只是冷酷地告诉她：“I told you I could make you do anything.”并赓续写谈：Ruby打响指。Ruby发觉我方无法为止我方的身段，不竭地打响指。她惊愕地叱咤Calvin，让他住手，可Calvin照旧完全失控，他纵容地打字，哄骗着Ruby作念出各式动作。于是Ruby驱动边脱衣服边唱歌，又学小狗在地上爬，然后用身段抵着墙来去翻腾着说：“I love you. I'll never leave you.”

最后，伤心无聊的Ruby仓皇地逃离房间，只剩下如丧考妣的Calvin和那台冰冷的打字机。曾经，Calvin以为改变Ruby是为了周密爱情，而这一次他却清醒地领路到，一切都是为了周密我方的私念。

暖和的面具一朝被撕破，东谈主性的丑陋便暴裸露来。阿谁文质斌斌的男东谈主在东谈主生最失落的时候遇到喜欢的女孩，他曾经何等调治她、疼惜她，决心与她共度一世。而最终，他却用下游的时期哄骗她、玷污她、伤害她，想让她屈服。爱来得太容易，就不懂赞誉；爱变成了占有欲，便只可造成悲催。

Calvin终于缓慢了下来，他在演义末尾用打字机敲出了这么几行字：

As soon as Ruby left the house, the past released her.

She was no longer Calvin's creation.

She was free.

他将厚厚的一叠纸稿放到Ruby房间的门口，还留住一张便签，上头写着：“Ruby, look at the last page. I love you.”

当灵魂在爱中浸礼

一早醒来，Ruby照旧离开。那本厚厚的手稿还在，只是上头的便签莫得了。

Calvin封存了打字机，在电脑上完成了我方的演义——他与Ruby的故事。这是记忆，亦然赎罪。他写谈：“I'm sorry for every word I wrote to change you. I'm sorry for so many things. I couldn't see you when you were here. And now that you're gone, I see you everywhere.”

爱情就像一场疾病，狂喜、悼念、伤心、失望——各式心思轮替来袭，无东谈主能够脱逃。然而，每个东谈主都在爱情里成长，学会尊重、包容、体谅，最终完善了我方。爱情也许是一场疾病，却亦然灵魂的良药，让东谈主在祸殃中反想、内省，赶走内心的自利与残忍。

曾经的Calvin是一个专断独行的东谈主。当前女友Lila无聊地对他说“The only person that you wanted to be in a relationship with was you”时，他仍然不懂得反省。而与Ruby相处时他只不外是在老生常谈。他的为止欲概况是一种自我保护的机制，当他发现一切都不在我方的为止限制时，便蹙悚不安，以至崩溃。

然而，为止不是爱，而是一种罪状。Calvin一直以为他不错为止Ruby和他们的来日，因为她是他创造的。当他用翰墨驱使喜欢的女孩作念不同的动作，看着她在地上扭曲和喘气时，他终于领路到我方的恶。他曾用全部的温情去爱她，但也用爱的花样为止她，用冷酷的借口草率她，用丑恶的特权玷污她。他总想改变她，却从未想过改变我方。当他敲下最后一行字时，他把目田还给了Ruby，同期也把目田给了我方。当他将我方与Ruby的故事写成演义，献给喜欢的女孩时，他亦完成了对我方灵魂的一次浸礼。

于是，在Calvin祸殃地反省之后，他的东谈主生也悄然掀开了新鲜的一页。他以新的姿态重新转头这个世界，坦诚地与别东谈主雷同，也与家东谈主达成了妥协。爱情带给他的成长迅速且惊东谈主，而他亦给世界带来了一部好意思好的演义和一个好意思梦成真的幻想。通盘建树理当归于爱。

在影片的扫尾，Calvin在树林里遇到了一个跟Ruby长得一模一样的女孩。她手中拿着Calvin的演义，说她很喜欢这本书。她是Ruby吗？仍是那张可儿的脸，笑靥如花，只是留着短发，衣着不一样的裙子。电影用另一个和顺故事的着手作为扫尾，给了演义家一次救助的契机，也给了不雅众妩媚的遐想。Ruby真的存在过吗？抑或她只是演义家的想象？此时，这些似乎都已不伏击了。

Letters to Juliet给朱丽叶的信：传奇狂放的寻爱之旅

◎ 文 / 陈文宇

愉快崴蕤的意大利小城维罗纳。她，是与未婚夫前来度蜜月的年青女子；她，是与外孙前来寻找初恋情东谈主的老太太。她与她通过一封尘封50年的书信相识，由此开启了一段传奇狂放的寻爱之旅。

意大利小城维罗纳是莎士比亚笔下《罗密欧与朱丽叶》故事的发生地，每年都会有无数的搭客前来热爱这个充满狂放颜色的爱情圣地。在影片《给朱丽叶的信》中，女主角Sophie就与未婚夫Victor一王人来此地提前度蜜月。在这座爱之城里，朱丽叶的故园天然是辞谢错过的游览胜地。在故园的庭院里，建设着一尊真东谈主高矮的朱丽叶青铜泥像。除了铜像，院子里最引东谈主注野心就是一面贴满纸条和信笺的留言墙。原来，维罗纳小城有一个传统，凡来朱丽叶故园的痴情男女都会将我方对爱情的感怀或疑问写成书信贴在留言墙上，期待冥冥之中爱情的代言东谈主朱丽叶能看到这些信，为他们的爱情苦恼送来一剂解药。在影片中，为了惩办这论千论万封来信的恢复问题，一批志愿者组织起来代替朱丽叶给这些多情东谈主回音。Sophie也加入到这些志愿者中，并在机缘适值之下恢复了一封50年前的来信。让她莫得料到的是，那封信的作者看到回音后真的来到了维罗纳，找寻当年失踪的爱东谈主。于是，一场寻爱之旅在维罗纳靓丽的气象中渐渐伸开。

一趟并不甜密的蜜月旅行

Sophie是《纽约客》杂志的别称事实调查员，渴慕着有一天能成为别称到手的记者或作者，但一直邑邑不得志。她的未婚夫Victor是别称厨师，正准备在纽约开一家意大利餐厅。为了给缓慢的生活加多点狂放颜色，Sophie和Victor决定趁Victor的新店开业之前进行婚前蜜月旅行，好好享受一下二东谈主世界。于是，两东谈主怀着无比怡悦的心情来到了爱之城维罗纳。然而，蜜月之旅并不像想象中那么狂放。一门心想要开餐厅的Victor把意大利之行四肢念一次难得的生意考查契机，每当Sophie想与他一王人去晓悟维罗纳当地的风土情面时，Victor便会打断她的规划，要求Sophie和他去与餐厅的供货商谈生意。就这么，本该甜密的蜜月旅行俨然成了Victor与各个供应商的会晤，而站在Victor身旁的Sophie就像花瓶一样，成了毫无真谛的点缀。最后，孰不可忍的Sophie不得未定定和未婚夫“分开旅行”。

一天，独平定城中散步的Sophie偶然经过了朱丽叶的故园。信步踏入故园的庭院，她看到好多女东谈主在精采地写信。她们有的一边写一边落泪，有的站在故园那有名的阳台上喃喃诉说着对心上东谈主的情话。将心里话写成信后，她们把信粘贴到院子里一面古老的墙壁上，之后才回身离去。这些举动让Sophie颇感疑心，想探个究竟，于是她偷偷守候在那里不雅望。快到傍晚的时候，她发现一个女东谈主来把这些信件逐个收走了。Sophie尾随这个女东谈主来到了一幢公寓里，并在一番肤浅的自我先容后与她聊了起来。原来，这个女东谈主叫Isabella，她和几位热心的意大利女东谈主每天都会网罗这些信件，然后以朱丽叶之名逐个趟信。

Isabella: Theycome from all over the world every day.

Sophie: But taking their letters? Is that not like taking pennies from a wishing well?

Isabella: How else can we give them answers?

Sophie: Oh, my God. So you write all of them back.

Isabella: Yes.

Sophie: You're all Juliet?

Isabella: Her secretaries. Donatella has been married 51 years to the same man. She handles husband problems. Francesca is a nurse. She deals with illness and loss. And Maria ... she has 12 children, 29 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren. She writes whatever she likes.

Sophie: to IsabellaAnd you?

Francesca: Isabella answers the ones you can barely read.

Isabella: Yeah, the lovers' quarrels, the breakups, the really tangled hearts. Someone has to do it.

替朱丽叶回音？！这种作念法在Sophie看来既不可想议又美不可言。回到住处后，Sophie怡悦地向Victor阐发了遇到朱丽叶“通知们”的离奇经验，然而Victor既不感意思意思也无心倾听。接下来的日子里，Victor赓续昼夜忙于为餐厅寻找好意思酒和好意思食货源，扔下Sophie一东谈主渡过本该属于两东谈主的蜜月旅行。裂痕就这么在不经意间偷偷产生。

一封尘封50年的情书

由于与朱丽叶“通知们”的再会，独自享受蜜月旅行的Sophie不再感到颓靡，她驱动经常光顾她们的办公室。在一次随着Isabella网罗留言墙上的信件时，Sophie偶然发现了一封塞在古老石墙里的尘封了50年的信。信是一位名叫Claire的英国女孩写给朱丽叶的，内容是对于她与一个意大利小伙子Lorenzo的爱情故事：“I didn't go to him, Juliet. I didn't go to Lorenzo. His eyes were so full of trust. I promised I'd meet him to run away together ... But instead, I left him waiting for me, below our tree, waiting and wondering where I was. I'm in Verona now. I return to London in the morning and I'm so afraid. Please, Juliet, tell me what I should do. My heart is breaking, and I have no one else to turn to. Love, Claire.”

在场的每一个东谈主都被Claire信中让东谈主心碎的爱情故事打动了。最后，Sophie决定以朱丽叶的花样给Claire回一封信。经过一番三想尔后行，Sophie在回音中赤诚地写下了如下话语：“Dear Claire, ‘what' and ‘if' are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together, side by side, and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. What if? What if? What if? I don't know how your story ended, but if what you felt then was true love then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like, a love to leave loved ones for, a love to cross oceans for, but I'd like to believe. If I ever were to feel it, then I'd have the courage to seize it. And Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet.”然后，Sophie把这封回音按照50年前Claire在信封上留住的地址寄往了英国伦敦。

一场追寻了半个世纪的真爱

让Sophie莫得猜想的是，已为东谈主祖母的Claire收到回音后，真的在外孙Charlie的伴随下从英国伦敦远赴维罗纳来寻找曾经的爱东谈主了。

一天傍晚，Sophie与朱丽叶的“通知们”正在办公室里忙于回音，一位年青的男士走了进来，盘考谁是给我方祖母回音的东谈主。这位年青东谈主就是Claire的外孙Charlie，一位从小在英国长大、受过传统英式老师、不毛狂放和幽默细胞的东谈主。Charlie一见到Sophie就对她出言不逊，因为他以为给一位老太太回一封50年前的信，让她大老远地从英国跑到意大利来寻找一位也许照旧不在东谈主世的男东谈主，且把这一切冠以真爱的花样，的确是一件无比荒唐的事情。但Sophie并莫得因Charlie的哄笑而起火，她一齐从办公室追着Charlie来到朱丽叶故园的庭院里，想劝服他安排我方与Claire碰头。而就在此时，Claire映入了她的眼帘，就站在那面留言墙前。已近晚景的Claire依旧优雅妩媚，她向Sophie和朱丽叶的“通知们”阐发了发生在50年前的那段青涩恋情，况兼抒发了想躬行找到Lorenzo的愿望。

Claire: I was taking an art course in Tuscany, staying with a family outside Siena, and they had a son Lorenzo, and it was love at first sight. He had such gentle blue eyes. And he told me I was very beautiful. And he gave me this ring. We wanted to get married, but I'd got exams back in England and my parents would never have agreed, and I got scared, and I ran away. Now what I really want is to tell him that I'm so sorry I was such a coward.

Sophie: So you've come to find your Lorenzo?

Claire: Yes, and I think I know where he is.

Sophie: Where?

Claire: On the farm, just near Siena. Charlie's driving me down tomorrow.

听完Claire的故事，Sophie为这个女东谈主的执着感动不已，当即提倡要陪伴Claire一王人去寻找Lorenzo，况兼规划把这段寻爱旅程写成演义。Claire欢然接管了她的肯求。一位年过半百的老太太，一位妩媚的一身女子，一个刻板死板的英国男东谈主，就这么一王人踏上了一段寻爱之旅。

三个东谈主驾车简直走遍了意大利的每一个边缘，可他们找到的每一个Lorenzo都不是Claire当年爱上的阿谁。这未免让大众有些失落，但这并不代表旅程莫得成绩。三个东谈主在这段寻爱之旅中对相互及自身都有了更深的了解，每一个东谈主都从另一个东谈主身上找到了我方存在的价值。寻爱的经过让他们懂得了相互赞誉，至于后果，目前看来照旧不那么伏击。

寻爱之旅接近尾声，一次次寻而无果让三个东谈主决定废弃寻找，打谈回府。此时，Claire提议到路旁的葡萄园喝一杯告别酒。汽车顺着田边的小路缓缓地驶入了绿意盎然的葡萄园，恰是葡萄丰充的季节，一个少年正在采摘锻真金不怕火的葡萄。Claire盯着这个男孩，忽然失声叫出了Lorenzo的名字。原来，这个面貌与Lorenzo极为相似的男孩恰是Lorenzo的孙子！Sophie和Charlie都清脆不已，看来此次找到真实的Lorenzo了。然而，就在将近见到心上东谈主的时候，Claire却推崇得像一个仙女般腼腆。千般不可知和不细目让她驱动贪污，她后悔了，想赶在Lorenzo回来之前离开。

就在Charlie劝说祖母留住之际，Lorenzo骑着马回来了。虽时隔50年，但当两东谈主再次相见时，他们第一眼就认出了对方。自此两个东谈主的眼神再也无法离开相互，眼波流转之际，心中满是说不完的情话，时候的荏苒从未让他们嗅觉生疏。在妩媚的夕阳下，Lorenzo温情地将Claire揽入怀中……

如今的Lorenzo和Claire一样，也失去了我方的另一半，过着孤独的晚年生活。与Claire的无意再会让他欢喜不已。当着全家东谈主的面，他抒发了我方的心声。

Lorenzo: I really don't know how to express myself. Well, I went for a ride this morning as an old man, and I came back as a teenager again. I'm so very happy you all meet Claire and her grandson, Charlie, and their lovely friend, Sophie. My dear Claire, you have told me you lost your Jack. And you know I lost my Rosa. But destiny wanted us to meet again.

Claire: I'm sorry I was late.

Lorenzo: No. When we are speaking about love, it's never too late.

一位料想以外的真命皇帝

爱情，从来不需要你去寻找，因为说不定某天它会我方找上你。当爱情找上Sophie的时候，她是不是照旧订婚，阿谁爱上她的男东谈主是不是讨东谈主厌，都照旧不伏击了。伏击的是，爱情真的来终末。而这段恋情的男主角就是那位首先对Sophie大放厥词的英国男东谈主Charlie。

在这段寻爱之旅中，Charlie是司机，Sophie是筹谋东谈主。在旅程首先两东谈主时候未几的相处中，无外乎是Charlie赓续向Sophie施展他残暴、残暴的语言攻势，而Sophie也从不示弱地“以牙还牙”。但就在两东谈主一次次充满炸药味的兵来将挡中，Charlie雅雀无声地爱上了Sophie。他在开车时老是不经意地从倒车镜里注视坐在后排的Sophie，并老是找契机与她单独相处。然而，Sophie却老是刻意与他保持着距离，这让有些吹法螺的Charlie极端悔悟。

在一次次的搭讪、调情失败后，Charlie终于找到了一次与Sophie单独游览意大利古镇的契机。在游览的经过中，两东谈主驱动渐渐对相互翻开心扉。他们从Claire的寻爱之旅说到各自家庭的悲伤旧事，从畴前的爱情说到目前的盼愿。在这个经过中，Sophie发现Charlie刻板、高傲的外在下其实有一颗善良、明锐的心。不外，在Sophie眼中，Charlie最大的优点是善于倾听，这让Sophie找到了在Victor身上找不到的暖和和招供感。两颗年青的心第一次碰撞在了一王人，Sophie驱动对Charlie萌发爱意。

在盛夏的星空下，Sophie与Charlie一王人躺在花圃的草地上，两个东谈主望着相互，身不由己地亲吻了对方。爱情就这么在毫无防守的情况下驾终末。可他们将要面对的却是寻爱之旅的实现，并可能靠近永远的分离。

Claire看到了两东谈主星空下亲吻的画面，经验了少小时的青涩恋情，她最懂得真爱的寥落和时候的冷凌弃。是以，当他们终于找到Lorenzo，路径到达绝顶，Sophie告差别去时，Claire看着一脸伤心却不敢遮挽心上东谈主的外孙Charlie说谈：“Darling, you're family, so I think you'll understand why I'm telling you you're a total idiot. How many Sophies do you think there are on this planet? Don't wait 50 years like I did. Go. Go! Go!”

回到维罗纳，管待Sophie的是Victor一个大大的拥抱和他一如既往的艰巨。再一次被专注于做事的未婚夫抛在一边的Sophie不再失望和衔恨，因为此时她满心想的都是Charlie。与此同期，在Claire的饱读吹下，Charlie驱车赶到了Sophie的货仓楼下，方正他缠绵冲进货仓对Sophie表白我方的浓烈爱意时，却看到了Victor拥抱Sophie的甜密景色。这无疑给Charlie浇了一头冷水，他只消无奈地遴选离开，却不知Sophie内心其实同样期待他的出现。是不是爱情故事老是以这么的错过而实现？天然不是，只消你驯服：追求真爱，永远不会太晚。

回到纽约的Sophie把Claire寻爱的故事写成专题交给了杂志社的雇主，雇主看后对这个故事拍案叫绝。Sophie的做事终于有所打破，新的发展契机正恭候着她。Victor的餐厅也开业在即，他整日忙于装修和餐厅开业事务，依旧忽略Sophie的存在。经过一番矜重想考后，Sophie终于听从了内心的声息，向Victor提倡分歧，然后独自一东谈主赶赴意大利参加Claire和Lorenzo的婚典。

再一次来到意大利的Sophie强烈渴慕再次见到Charlie。但当两东谈主终于在Claire的婚典上相见时，却差点因为一场歪曲而交臂失之。原来，她错把Charlie的表妹Patricia当成了他的同名前女友。没弄明晰真相的她以为就此失去了Charlie，伤心肠从婚典现场跑开。看到Sophie跑开，Charlie深感奇怪，他寻遍通盘这个词花圃，才在花圃小楼的阳台上看见了一脸落寞的Sophie，她正失望地看着我方。

Charlie: What are you doing up there?

Sophie: I'm gonna go.

Charlie: Why?

Sophie: Because this is really painful. I should have realized sooner, but I didn't, or I guess maybe I couldn't, but Victor and I aren't together anymore. And I guess I came back hoping that ...

Charlie: Wait, wait. You're not engaged?

Sophie: No. But it's too late. It's clearly too late. And it really doesn't matter anymore because, honestly, I love you. I can't believe I just said that. But I do. I love you. It doesn't ... I mean, it shouldn't matter to you, because you're here with Patricia.

Charlie: Patricia?

Sophie: And you should be back with her right now.

Charlie: Patricia is my cousin. She's my cousin.

Sophie: How is that legal?

Charlie: No, Sophie ... No, no, no, no. Let me explain! Sophie, I'm so stupid. There's two Patricias. There's my cousin, who's here, and the one that I've completely forgotten about. More importantly, there's only one Sophie.

通盘的歪曲都流露了。在那刹那间，这个世界仿佛只剩下他们两个东谈主，四目相对，爱意难抑，再多的言语都难以抒发他们对相互的爱与想念。他们唯有一直吻下去……

爱情如夏令的鲜花般妩媚，爱情也如傍晚的夕阳般璀璨。爱情，无论发生在何时何地，都将是咱们为之活下去的事理。唯有爱情，让一切不灭。

Twilight暮光之城：当猎东谈主爱上猎物

◎ 文 / 张妍

懦弱和热爱，昏昧和光明，死一火和长生……吸血虫题材就是这么的诱惑妖娆而又扑朔迷离。当芳华与妩媚成为包裹吸血虫的丽都外套，当温情和承诺成为升华东谈主鬼恋的情感纽带。当猎东谈主爱上了猎物，致命的迷惑怎么战胜嗜血的渴慕？一切谜底就潜藏在——《暮光之城》。

电影《暮光之城》(Twilight)改编自同名演义，以原演义中所建立的爱情主轴为印迹，在超越身故的东谈主与吸血虫之间上演了一部“东谈主鬼情未了”。故事的情节设定新颖而真谛，其构想首先来源于作者Stephenie Meyer的一个梦，阐发了一段感东谈主至深的东谈主鬼情。仙女Bella遇到了高深迷东谈主的Edward Cullen，但Edward却是吸血虫家眷的一员。偶然的相遇，让两个东谈主倾心相爱，然而Edward骨子里的嗜血人道让他对Bella的血长久具有强烈的渴慕……

爱上吸血虫：生命vs.爱情

影片从女主角Bella的旁白驱动。从开头这个略带回忆录颜色的旁白中，咱们知谈了Bella来自一个并不何如调和的家庭：父母离异、母亲重婚。天性明锐内向、邑邑寡欢的Bella搬到西雅图隔壁的一个小镇去和父亲同住。这个内心莫得安全感的仙女在高中校园里和同学们长久扞格难入，直到她领路了俊好意思又充满着高深感的Edward。初见Edward时，Bella的同学这么向她先容Cullen一家和Edward本东谈主：“They moved down here from Alaska a few years ago. They kind of keep to themselves.... That's Edward Cullen. He's totally gorgeous, obviously, but apparently nobody here is good enough for him.”

生物课上，Bella被安排与Edward坐在一桌。碰见Bella对Edward来说是一个挑战，Bella身上特殊的滋味让Edward产生了想要吸食她鲜血的强烈欲望。简直不可为止我方的Edward忍不住望风而逃，这也引起了Bella的歪曲。

随着故事的伸开，Edward多次实时地保护和救助Bella，两东谈主如射中注定般地相互迷惑。在这种致命诱惑和自我为止的挣扎中，Edward不治之症地爱上了Bella；而Edward的俊好意思外形、忧郁的贵族气质也让Bella一见属意。

Edward: I can't read your mind. You have to tell me what you're thinking.

Bella: Now I'm afraid.

Edward: Good.

Bella: I'm not afraid of you. I'm only afraid of losing you. I feel like you're gonna disappear.

Edward: You don't know how long I've waited for you. So the lion fell in love with the lamb.

Bella: What a stupid lamb!

Edward: What a sick, masochisticlion!

猎东谈主爱上猎物，狮子爱上羔羊，妩媚的爱情之花就这么在危机中璀璨灵通，让东谈主叹惋不已。渐渐地，Bella驱动发现，她所爱的东谈主领有融为一体的超才能和不为东谈主知的生活方式，这让她领路到一个事实：Edward不是一个普通东谈主，而是一个吸血虫。此时的Bella极端矛盾：“About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him—and I didn't know how dominant that part might be—that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”

生活就是如斯狠毒，时常让你靠近两难的遴选：究竟该弃爱保全生命，如故该舍命周密爱情？诚然，生命于东谈主只消一次，因而宝贵；然而，若莫得了爱，东谈主类便只可像撅断翅膀的小鸟，徒有生命延续，却终是破败东谈主生。变成吸血虫，天然令东谈主如履薄冰，但若能因此与至爱相守，生命的代价又算得了什么呢？

影片以一段Bella的内心自述揭示了她所作的遴选：“I'd never given much thought to how I would die, but dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go.”为了爱，她不错废弃生命。有了爱，其他任何东西都不再伏击。

这部影片用简洁明快的节律勾画出男女主角的爱情：Edward一心一意，丹心保护Bella；Bella为了爱不吝就义我方东谈主类的身份，以至就义生命。这段存一火不离的“东谈主鬼情”不仅莫得因为吸血虫题材让不雅众感到懦弱，反而让东谈主感受到一种说不出的感动和诗般的凄好意思。

Edward: I wanted to kill you. I've never wanted a human's blood so much in my life.

Bella: I trust you.

Edward: Don't.

Bella: I'm here. I trust you.

Edward: My family, we're different from others of our kind. We only hunt animals. We've learned to control our thirst. But it's you, your scent. It's like a drug to me. You're like my own personal brand of heroin.

Bella: Why did you hate me so much when we met?

Edward: I did, only for making me want you so badly. I still don't know if I can control myself.

Bella: I know you can.

相爱即长生：舍弃vs.相守

作为吸血虫，Edward Cullen领有能听到东谈主类内心声息的才能。他莫得呼吸，也莫得寝息，却领有不灭的芳华和生命——从1918年起，他的外在就一直延续着17岁的神志。他是“素食”吸血虫家庭的一员。Cullen一家为止我方对东谈主血的渴慕，只猎杀动物以舒适生活的需要。

就像通盘的爱情故事一样，并非情同羊左就不错像童话里的王子和公主一样从此过着幸福快乐的日子，Bella和Edward的生活也同样靠近着来自各方的压力，他们要一王人面对其他吸血虫对Bella生命的要挟，还要面对Bella是否也要变成吸血虫的抉择。就算家庭不错容纳，就算爱东谈主迷漫刚烈，但如故有太多的费神。

Edward在矛盾中挣扎，忧伤覆盖了他俊俏的面貌，他的颜色看起来尤其煞白。他的眼神中透眷顾离，警戒我方：通盘的隐敝都是因为他不想伤害Bella。然而，等相遇的这一刻他等了一个世纪，长年累月的爱该怎么拒却?

Edward: I only said it'd be better if we weren't friends, not that I didn't wanna be.

Bella: What does that mean?

Edward: It means if you were smart, you'd stay away from me.

Bella: Okey. Well, let's say for argument's sake that I'm not smart. Would you tell me the truth?

Edward: No, probably not. I'd rather hear your theories.

Bella: I have considered radioactive spiders and kryptonite

Edward: That's all superhero stuff, right? What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm the bad guy?

Bella: You're not. I can see what you're trying to put off, but I can see that it's just to keep people away from you. It's a mask.

排斥千般压力后，Edward和Bella终于走到了一王人，成为学校里最受关注的一对。Edward的家庭也接管了Bella，并邀请她参加Cullen家眷里面的棒球赛。不幸的是，在棒球赛中，他们与另外三个吸食东谈主血的吸血虫不期而遇，Bella的滋味被其中一个叫James的吸血虫察觉。Cullen家眷为了保护Bella不受侵害，设圈套欲协力撤退同为吸血虫的James。恶毒的James并未入彀，反而设计单独约见Bella。幸亏Edward一家实时赶到救济了Bella，但是Bella已被吸血虫的毒液侵蚀。Edward依靠意志力强忍住我方对Bella血液的强烈渴慕，吸出了Bella血液中的毒液，使Bella不至于因失血过多而死。

苏醒后的Bella叱咤Edward由于发怵伤害她而提倡分歧的想法。在Bella眼里，在世莫得爱，如同莫得了灵魂，是如斯的艰苦：而死一火，从另一层面上就意味着与爱一王人长生！Bella心甘宁肯遴选了一条不归路，与其莫得灵魂，艰苦地在世，不如和喜欢的东谈主去另一个世界长生，扬弃红尘，扬弃一切。

Bella: Why did you save me? If you just let the venom spread, I could be like you by now.

Edward: You don't know what you're saying. You don't want this.

Bella: I want you, always.

Edward: I'm not gonna end your life for you.

Bella: I'm dying already. Every second, I get closer, older.

Edward: That's the way it's supposed to be.

Edward: So that's what you dream about? Becoming a monster?

Bella: I dream about being with you forever.

在这个吸血虫的故事里，爱情不仅不错专一，而且能够不灭；在这个吸血虫的世界里，如确凿心倾心相互，就不错“昼日昼夜”；在这种吸血虫的生活里，每一件事情的中枢都是让恋东谈主幸福，不管我方付出什么样的代价。

吸血虫形象：嗜血恶魔vs.当代贵族

吸血虫题材自身就包含着诸多迷惑眼球的元素，如吸血虫从善、东谈主鬼恋、违规题材的奇幻布景等。

与其他许多同类题材的影片不同，《暮光之城》并不是肤浅地拿以往东谈主鬼之间的悲情差别作为生意卖点，而是把这个照旧论千论万的吸血虫题材从广宽的爱情史诗中抽离，使之成为校园偶像派电影，并将吸血虫这个恐怖片元素重新打造。影片中的吸血虫变制品味超凡的当代贵族，而且还有点伸张正义的超能好汉的滋味。相对于好莱坞擅长的以减轻的笑剧手法演绎狂放的影片，《暮光之城》的出现犹如夏令的清风，沁东谈主心脾。

吸血虫作为西方文化中的反面变装，泛泛以嗜血如命、粗暴凶煞的形象出目前千般文体和影视作品中，靠吸血为生，就像Bella刚刚发现Edward的真实身份时说的：“You're impossibly fast and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice-cold. Your eyes change color. And sometimes you speak like you're from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don't go out in the sunlight.... I know what you are, Vampire.”

《暮光之城》塑造了一种很特别的吸血虫形象。男主角Edward一家东谈主隐居在小镇里，宛如吸血虫中的“素食”目的者，不吸东谈主血，靠阻止欲望和修身养性在这个世界上生活。这群东谈主不但不恐怖，反而个个英俊妩媚，Edward的父亲如故地位斯文的大夫。他们住别具品味的别墅，听斯文的古典音乐，是校园和小镇里被崇尚和尊敬的当代贵族，这一反传统中东谈主们对杀生害命的吸血虫形象的刻板主张。

吸血虫在这部影片中更像是孤独的贵族。Edward的父亲Cullen大夫早就学会了与东谈主类和睦相处。在他的提醒下，他的家眷只猎杀动物，尽管低等生物的血仅能督察他们最基本的需求。就像Edward告诉Bella的：“My family, we think of ourselves as vegetarians, right, 'cause we only survive on the blood of animals. But it's like a human only living on tofu. It keeps you strong, but you're never fully satisfied.”

也有东谈主以为《暮光之城》不毛深度，略显稚嫩，但这其实是一种璀璨。吸血虫不再沉浸于我方的孤独地狱中，而是主动承担起高档种族的背负，维护起这个世界应有的次第，炫夸出了特外族群的服务和在他们身上折射出来的东谈主性光泽。Cullen家眷与东谈主类和睦共存，Edward和Bella相爱，Edward和家东谈主不管三七二十一地保护Bella，让她不受其他吸血虫的伤害——这一切的确是难能宝贵。

《暮光之城》也让吸血虫的才能变得无限刚烈，他们不仅不错踢天弄井、短暂迁徙，而且还力大无限、长生不老，领有访佛于漫画好汉般的超才能。这些吸血虫的装璜换一下，他们就不错是超东谈主、蜘蛛侠，以至不错是地狱男爵。故事也按照这么的漫画逻辑，趁势将吸血虫分为正邪两派，后果天然是毫无悬念的善必胜恶的完好意思结局。

《暮光之城》这个对于吸血虫的故事详细了狂放爱情、芳华期危机和正邪对决的超等好汉元素，成为一部和会了多种元素的青少年偶像电影，同期也成为一部小资本、大利润的卖座影片。如果你是吸血虫故事的爱好者，如果你是芳华狂放剧的影迷，那么《暮光之城》就是你不可错过的影片。

Catch and Release捉放爱： “钓”胜于“鱼”，真爱放手

打情骂趣，有时候就像悬钩钓鱼，只消拿得起放得下的东谈主，才能真实体会垂纶之乐成绩爱情之好意思……

冬夜漫长凄凉，而影片《捉放爱》(Catch and Release)就像一份清新好意思好的阳光速递，划破夜的精练，为心灵带来和顺。片名取自失业式钓鱼的“捉鱼放生”：并不以哺养为生，垂纶但求一乐。在喷火战机乐队(Foo Fighters)急速拨弦的伴奏下，邻家秀丽女神志的女主角Gray直发玄衣站在一堆白花中央，眼神无限寂寥：蓝本的婚典变成了未婚夫Grady的葬礼——他在婚典前夜的光棍派对中无意示寂。猜想从此将和喜欢的东谈主寰宇相隔，Gray简直崩溃。

不外，本片并非悲伤的静默安魂曲，随着前来参加葬礼的Grady的生前好友Dennis、Sam和Fritz的按次出现，故事驱动朝着令东谈主出东谈主预感的标的发展。Dennis是Grady行将开张的花圃的合鼓励谈主，镇静内敛；Sam是Grady的铁哥们，饕餮贪酒但心肠善良；从洛杉矶赶来的Fritz英俊璀璨，却替好友Grady遮掩着一个不可告东谈主的奥妙。然而，随着Grady的示寂，这个奥妙也变得无从遮掩：在和讼师的交涉中，Gray得知未婚夫竟然有个百万好意思金的账户，每月按时支拨三千好意思金给归拢个东谈主，而她对此一无所知。事实日渐浮出水面：原来Grady在洛杉矶有个情东谈主Maureen，更要命的是她还为他生了孩子，而这三千好意思金等于子母每月的生活费。奥妙的“曝光”使一切东谈主物关系都发生了变化。Dennis在安危Gray之际不忘吐露他对Gray长达六年的暗恋；Sam倾力护理Maureen子母，二东谈主互生情怀；Fritz和Gray之间，先是因Fritz在葬礼上仍不忘与东谈主调情而对立，之后由于Grady金屋藏娇的“纸包不住火”驱动谈心空谈，最终二东谈主终结歪曲，联袂未来。

生活：证实vs.伪证

天主说要有光，于是就有了光。在漫长阴郁的寒夜，光就是信念、但愿和爱。光，不管何等眇小都是性射中难得的恩赐，被光映照过的心就像是被熨斗熨过的织物，平整而飒爽。然而好多时候生活让东谈主哭笑不得，王小波说：“东谈主生就是一个缓慢被骗的经过。”只需一个步履脱轨，看似完好意思的生活就会被绝对颠覆。从未婚妻变成望门寡，Gray欲哭无泪；而Grady由“百分男”被讲授为亏心汉，则绝对让Gray无语……她试图迁徙严防力，她重新粉刷墙壁，她试着改变生活，但从知情者Fritz的口中吐出的事实依然让东谈主窒息。

Gray: How long has she been in his life? Just tell me that.

Fritz: She's not. She's not in his life. She's just ... the mother of his kid. Do you need anything?

Gray: What I need is a little more information about how my fiancé could have a child that I know nothing about.

Fritz: Okay. It was ... It was a one-time thing. He was in town. We went to a Halloween party. He hooked up with this woman.

Gray: When? How long ago?

Fritz: Before you.

Gray: How old is the kid?

Fritz: I don't know. Seven? Eight?

Gray: What is she like?

Fritz: I don't know.

Gray: Is she pretty?

Fritz: I don't know.

Gray: Answer me.

Fritz: She's attractive, in a messed-up, make-up kind of way.

传闻孩子都七八岁了，Gray颇感释然：毕竟我方和Grady也就领路了六年辛勤。Fritz严慎地回答Gray的胁制，同期辛勤维护她的自重——要保护已逝的“发小”，也不可伤害面前的无辜之东谈主。可生活时常是一连串“真实的滥调”：Maureen带着孩子蓦地来访，Gray发现孩子不外四岁，也就是说Grady是在与她相处时期领路了Maureen。这真像是个大玩笑！Gray又一次向Fritz求证。

Fritz: So, yeah, it wasn't before you, it was more during you.

Gray: But it was only just that once, right? Say “yes”, please.

Fritz: Hey, I could …

Gray: How many times?

Fritz: I wasn't really keeping count.

Gray: When did it start?

Fritz: When he started coming out to L.A. for work.

Gray: He wouldn't see her every time he went out there, though.… Would he? Wow, wow. Oh, this is bad. This is ... It's really bad. Was it still going on?

Fritz: No. Not as far as I know, anyway.

Gray的消沉绝对写在脸上。生活的真相究竟是什么？真相离咱们很远吗？也许，有时候真相不外目下之遥，只是咱们出于千般原因拒却接管。Gray过后回忆谈：“I just remembered something recently. About a year ago, he and I spent a day on the river. He fished and I read. It was one of those perfect days. We were on the way home and he said he had something to tell me. I said, ‘Is it making me happier or less happy?' He said, ‘Less happy.' I said, ‘Then don't tell me.'”其实无关多疑或猜忌，更多时候东谈主们乐于沉浸在作假的不真实中，麻痹内心的自我暗意。尽管自后的DNA测试讲授Grady并非孩子的父亲，可他糊弄了Gray却是不争的事实。共同生活六年的东谈主可能有你完全不知谈的一面，漫漫东谈主生路，不管咱们证实或证伪，时候最终会还原一切真相。

爱情：一见属意vs.日久生情

东谈主们总爱说：路遥知马力，日久见东谈主心。沉着冷静的东谈主会列出一见属意不靠谱的一百条罪戾，会轻蔑用头15秒钟判断对方的东谈主，以至会先衡量轻重然后作念出决定——爱如故不爱。可这是爱情吗？！爱情有时候就是眼角眉梢电光石火的一短暂；爱情是望到对方第一眼时所嗅觉到的déjà vu

一伙东谈主在河滨钓鱼时，Gray玩笑Dennis，问他为什么莫得约聚女孩，莫非是在幽会富婆？Dennis憨涩地否定，当场真情广告。

Dennis: You really want to know?

Gray: Badly.

Dennis: All right. I'll tell you. For the past six years, I've been telling myself the same thing. “It's okay. He's a better man.” And it turns out, that's just bullshit. Look at what he did to you, Gray. He had, hands-down

原来，六年来Dennis一直醉心着Gray。可忠诚的Dennis不知谈爱情是无法用刻度尺来揣测的：好东谈主不等于恋东谈主。真爱概况有时会让东谈主恭候，但恭候不一定能换来真爱。

就像是在山间散布看到路边一株娇艳的花朵，众东谈主都想采摘，将之占为己有。这是神志的原始阶段：POSSESSIVENESS——占有欲是东谈主之心魔，看到好意思好的东西就想步履有，到头来满地满是提前凋零残落的花朵，最后化为烂泥，其幽香也被时候稀释。看到花的好意思好，因而存身停留赏玩，这是神志的升级阶段：INFATUATION——东谈主眷顾花，但并不采摘，只是静静赏玩，花有了东谈主的关注天然长得茂盛，然而东谈主我方却因此自感汗颜，后果生命与神志被时候挥霍，最后化作虚无。而只消深切懂得幸福且分解东谈主生的东谈主，才明显对花的格调应该是AFFECTION——因为醉心是以不亏负，因为醉心是以懂得随爱前行。

葬礼过后的某天，Fritz手持相机，在小镇街头捕捉着不同于洛杉矶的别样风情。镜头挪转间，他看到了神志有些伤感的Gray。二东谈主相遇，相视一笑，这一笑穿越存一火和距离，两东谈主冰释前嫌。

Fritz: What is it with this town? Everyone's so happy all the time.

Gray: And people aren't happy in Los Angeles?

Fritz: Not like this. This is like a Patagonia Disneyland. Maybe they're all medicated. You hear about that, you know, towns where everybody's on Prozac?

Gray: Sounds pretty good ... I have to get back to work.

Fritz: Tragic widow, right? If you can't blow off work now, when can you?

Gray心中还晃动着几丝忧伤，Fritz抒发着浅浅的请安，不经意的几句话让两东谈主的距离似乎近了许多。Fritz劝服Gray“跷班”，跟他一王人散步于恬静的小镇。

Fritz: I used to take pictures all the time.

Gray: Why'd you stop?

Fritz: I started getting paid for it—took all the fun out ... I owe you an apology.

Gray: Just one?

Fritz: I mean the funeral. Sorry I ruined it for you.

Gray: Yeah, if it hadn't been for you, that would've been one great day.

Fritz: I just ... didn't want to be there, you know? I wanted to be anywhere but there. You know?

Gray: I know.

Fritz: So, what are we doing tomorrow? A little hiking? Mountain biking?

Gray: I can't skip work two days in a row.

Fritz: Of course you can. You can do whatever you want.

Gray: I don't know.

Fritz: I do. Trust me.

爱情的萌发有时候就是这么遮天盖地，也许是纵脱的一句话，也许什么都毋庸说，就是那不经意的一滑：噢，原来你也在这里。

哈姆雷特式疑问：提起vs.放下

片名“Catch and Release”来自钓鱼时的捉与放：钓到鱼之后不是占为己有而是放生。众东谈主以为“提起”是到手，“放下”是失败；“提起”的东谈主应该加冕称王，“放下”的东谈主只可面壁想过。其实，“提起”不一定比“放下”好。在谈家想想中，此谓“粗野而无不为”。

经验了失去未婚夫的悲伤、神志被糊弄的不胜、对Maureen子母从忌恨到接管的心态转变，Gray渐渐得回了一种“省心”的优雅：让他天然地来，让他悄然地去。放下并非消极，而是释然。生活就像爱丽斯漫游瑶池般奇妙：你永远不知谈在何时何地会碰见谁，发生什么事。这些不细目性就是天赐的礼物。撇开悲伤，收起最后的矜持，Gray遴选原谅故东谈主，拥抱生活。在Maureen用心准备的晚宴中，Gray驱动“告解”：“I steal library books—on purpose. I have them from every town I've ever lived in. I can't control it. Grady never knew that about me ... Also, I love natural disasters! I want people to die in them. I'm genuinely disappointed when the death toll is low ...”

她把我方深藏的奥妙一股脑儿倒了出来，为的是完成我方心灵转变的一个典礼。村上春树谈到我方关闭经营了七年的酒吧时说：“就像是上学，你在那边学到好多东西，但学完之后，你不可老待在原地，你得离开，赓续成长。”如果说逝去的未婚夫是Gray的爱情学校，那么这个晚宴就是她的毕业典礼——经验千般磨真金不怕火，她终于从Grady那边“毕业”了。以上“告解”就是她的Commencement Speech。英文中的Commencement兼有“毕业典礼”和“驱动”的真谛，实现就意味着新的驱动，适合情理，出乎料想。一切变得缤纷起来。

是夜，Gray参加到Fritz的怀抱，二东谈主谈及爱情与婚配。

Fritz: You get extremely cool stuff when you get married. No wonder people do it.

Gray: Were you ever close?

Fritz: To getting married? No.

Gray: Why not, do you think?

Fritz: I don't know. I guess it just always made more sense to walk away.

Gray: Aren't you lonely?

Fritz: Right now, no.

Gray: No, just ... in general. Who do you tell your stories to?

Fritz: I guess I keep them to myself.

Gray: That's a tragedy.

Fritz: Yeah.

把心打开后才可能开心，爱东谈主就是阿谁你不错安心面对来谈心的东谈主，是枕边东谈主，更是灵魂伴侣。也许有东谈主说：一又友妻，不可欺。然而爱情是何等有时且偶然!

Gray和Fritz两心相许，不意却伤害了暗恋Gray的Dennis。面对Dennis的疑问，Gray慌乱中矢口狡赖。

Dennis: I'm a big boy, you know? You could've just told me.

Gray: Told you what?

Dennis: That you were in love with someone else.

Gray: I'm not.

Dennis: I saw you guys coming in last night.

Gray: Dennis. God. That's nothing. It's less than nothing.

不意Fritz恰巧在门外听到。爱是不要拼凑，不需荫藏，不觉尴尬。爱一个东谈主就该让她平定；如果不可，就离开，还给她目田。于是Fritz遴选远走，回到海边的家里去，是疗伤亦然告别。“If you love somebody, you let her go. If she ever comes back, she's yours. If she doesn't, well, as expected, she never was.”是的，是你的总会来到你身边的。认清了我方并找回了勇气的Gray最终决定奴婢爱东谈主的脚步，一齐寻到了Fritz的住处。海边相见时，Gray颇带憨涩，慌乱间说了好多解释，而Fritz只消一句话：“What took you so long?”

追想通盘这个词“钓鱼”经过，悬念重重，惊险陆续：藏隐暴燥，耐烦恭候鱼上钩的时候，是望眼将穿，想断柔肠；当嗅觉鱼将近上钩时，心跳加快，呼吸急促，仿佛此番是最后的战役，得鱼者即得六合；不巧鱼或自救或油滑奋力挣扎力求脱逃鱼钩，钓鱼东谈主着急、气愤、火暴、衔恨，却都不著奏效——鱼怎会情愿被一戋戋鱼钩驯从。最后，要么鱼逃走了东谈主元气心灵零落，要么鱼上钩了东谈主欢天喜地；得到舒适的东谈主就此收手打谈回府，有待舒适的东谈主赓续坐定驱动新一轮的守钓。东谈主总把得失看得太重，得之若惊，失之若惊，大悲大喜，以浓烈为真本，未见璀璨之妙。放下或提起，孰“优”孰“劣”，无从定论。“提起”是胆量是实力；“放下”是开朗是气派。爱情这条游鱼，来时无预报，去时无申饬。爱她(他)，就该放开她(他)。

The Painted Veil面纱：爱情、叛变与宽待

◎ 文 / 于晓东

什么是爱？在爱情那丽都的面纱下究竟荫藏着些许不为东谈主知的挣扎和挫折？爱，不单是是肤浅的情同羊左，它还意味着矜恤、怜悯和宽待……

电影《面纱》改编自英国作者毛姆(Somerset Maungham)的同名演义，其称呼“The Painted Veil”出自有名诗东谈主雪莱(Shelley)的诗句：“Lift not the painted veil which those who live call life.”

电影阐发的是关连爱情、叛变与宽待的故事。影片布景设在20世纪20年代，英国女孩Kitty迫于家庭的压力，与我方不爱的细菌学家Walter结了婚。婚后两东谈主一王人来到了中国上海。在那里，孤独的Kitty爱上了同样来自英国的有妇之夫Charlie。Walter发现了他们的恋情，盛怒之下的他出于迤逦，将Kitty带到了正爆发霍乱疫情的广西，而我方也在那里驱动了对疫情的为止服务。在这时期，Kitty渐渐领路到Charlie的豪恣，并看到了Walter的耿直、可儿之处，而Walter也原谅了Kitty，两东谈主迎来了真实的爱情。但是就在Kitty孕珠之际，Walter却感染了霍乱……

东谈主性的惶恐

《面纱》虽是一部爱情片，但通盘这个词影片对于爱情的阐释却带有一种形而上学的意味。透过影片中东谈主物的情感关系，咱们看到的是东谈主性的千般缺欠：叛变、短促、自利、死板、惶恐、及其……而通盘这一切，最终都在Kitty和Walter迟来的爱情以及他们相互的宽待中得到救赎，并通过Walter颇具奉献意味的死一火而变得不灭。

东谈主性的惶恐首先体目前女主东谈主公Kitty身上。影片一驱动就是Kitty的家东谈主催促她飞速成婚的场景。当Kitty谈到“婚配要有爱情”的时候，她的母亲却问了一句：“How much longer do you expect your father to go on supporting you?”这令Kitty哑口难堪，不得不嫁给了我方并不爱的Walter。这也为影片的主要印迹之一“叛变”埋下了伏笔。

两东谈主婚自后到上海，为了使Kitty快乐，Walter带她去看京剧。在剧院，Kitty结子了情场老手Charlie，他对台上京剧女主角的上演的一番阐明深深轰动了Kitty，也俘获了她那颗孤独的心。这段话号称影片中最精彩的台词之一。

Charlie: Are you enjoying it?

Kitty: I've never seen anything like it.

Charlie: Every gesture has a meaning. See how she covers her face with the cloth? She is mourning her misfortune. What happened to her? She was sold into slavery, condemned to a life of drudgery

得知内助“婚外情”的Walter在盛怒之下要求Kitty追随我方去广西霍乱灾地，两东谈主为此发生了强烈争吵。面对Walter的宝石，Kitty幻想Charlie会因此分歧，和我方蚁合。于是她前去找Charlie。

Kitty: Walter's agreed to let me divorce him quietly … His offer comes with a condition.

Charlie: I'm not a rich man.

Kitty: He doesn't want your money. He's agreed to let me divorce him if Dorothy will agree to divorce you. And if … you'll promise to marry me.

Charlie: You know, darling, whatever happens, we must try to keep Dorothy out of it.

Kitty: You don't want to divorce her.

Charlie: It's not just a question of my marriage ....

Kitty: Then what is it?

Charlie: Do you have any idea of the importance of my station here? If I were ... Why are you laughing?

Kitty: I don't think Walter intended for one minute to divorce me. He knew you'd let me down.

Charlie: Try to understand.

Kitty: I understand, all right.

正如Walter所预感的那样，Charlie只不外是游手好闲，当Kitty说Walter同意分歧但提倡了条目时，他首先猜想的竟然是资产。无奈的Kitty只得追随Walter一同赶赴广西。一齐上愉快崴蕤，但是两东谈主之间莫得交流，Kitty在Walter脸上看到的只消鄙夷。

影片处处都推崇出东谈主性的缺欠：Walter由于震怒而对Kitty的折磨，Charlie对待神志的豪恣与无耻，所在军阀对于全球死一火的漠视等等。但与普通揭示东谈主性阴雨面的抒发手法不同，《面纱》在意抒发的是东谈主类在面对自身这些阴雨面时的惶恐：他们时常能够领路到我方的这些缺欠，但却无力不平。这特别体目前两位主角身上，Walter明知Kitty不爱我方，却执著地要娶她。当得知Kitty叛变我方时，内心吹法螺的他受到了深深的伤害，转而驱动从精神上折磨Kitty。而Kitty天然照旧识破了Charlie的豪恣，但是广西大杀景象的生活又使她对Charlie产生了幻想，以至写了信要寄给他，却从其他东谈主口中得知Charlie一直滥情陆续，从未有过真心。情难自禁，无力起义——这是东谈主性的缺欠，亦然东谈主生的无奈。

中国元素

这是一部中好意思合拍、全程都在中国境内拍摄的电影，中国元素天然成为本片的一个伏击卖点。除了上世纪20年代的上海和妩媚的广西桂林山水，影片还有个分量级的副角——黄秋生饰演的国民调动军军官Colonel。这个变装很出彩，出场亮相的一段话颇有威望，注定了这不再是一部白东谈主无出其右的影片。

Walter: Colonel, can I see where they get their drinking water? For starters, we've got to stop people from using this well until I can test it. Do you understand?

Colonel: Yes, I understand, Dr. Fane. I received my military training in Moscow. If you don't like English, we can speak Russian.

Walter: English will be fine. Thank you.

以往关连中国题材的好意思国电影对中国东谈主和中国元素的描画时常挑升无意地带有一定的偏见。而《面纱》中描绘的中国天然处于过期的民国时期，但其中的一切都推崇得比拟振振有词。尤其是黄秋生饰演的国民调动军军官更是让不雅众看到了一个自信、自立的中国东谈主形象。影片中有一个片断是他伴随Walter去眼力方军阀，试图劝服其协助为止灾情，路上两东谈主的语言体现的就是两个真实平等的东谈主之间的雷同与交流。

Colonel: So, what do you plan to say to persuade him?

Walter: I don't know.

Colonel: These men are like animals. They have no vision. They only have hunger and strength. Men like this have held the real power in China since I was young. But that time is coming to an end. There's no place for them in the new China.

Walter: I don't think you like my being here very much either, do you?

Colonel: I think China belongs to Chinese people, but the rest of the world seems to disagree.

WaIter: Yes, but that's got nothing to do with me. I didn't come here with a gun, you know. I came here with a microscope. I believe you.

Colonel: But it would be nice to do this work together without your country's guns pointing at our people.

灵魂的救赎

值得一提的是，影片中作为叙事布景的桂林山水极端漂亮，而这为片中变装心灵的净化经过作了很好的呼应。恰是在这如画的山水气象里，Kitty渐渐看到了Walter的优点：他的耿直和执著，以及他不顾生命危机对为止疫情服务的全身心参加。这让一直养尊处优、喜欢风花雪月的Kitty驱动懂得生活的真谛，她驱动参与到当地的训诫服务中，襄理护理儿童。渐渐地，Kitty与Walter第一次有了共同语言，驱动对话，并最终穿越相互之间的隔阂，化解了那些内心积聚的干扰。

Kitty: They brought in a new baby today.… Thank goodness for those nuns. They do so much for so little in return.

Walter: I suppose you can look at it that way.

Kitty: You suppose?

Walter: I think it might be a bit more complicated than that.

Kitty: They take in desperate children and give them a chance at life. What could be so complicated about that?

Walter: They also go to young mothers in their homes. They ask them to give their babies to the convent. They offer them money to support their families, to persuade them to do it. They're not just here to run an orphanage, your nuns. They're turning those children into little Catholics. None of us are in China without a reason.

Kitty: Well, … I admire them.… And I think what you're doing, for instance, is incredibly noble. You used to feel contempt for me. Don't you still?

Walter: I can't believe that you with all your cleverness should have such little sense of proportion.

Kitty: We humans are more complex than your silly little microbes. We're unpredictable. We make mistakes and we disappoint.

Walter: Yes, we certainly do.

Kitty: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not the perfect young woman that you want me to be. I'm just ordinary. I never tried to pretend that I was anything else.

Walter: No, you certainly didn't.

Kitty: I like the theater and dancing and playing tennis. I like games. I like men who play games. God forgive me, that's the way I was brought up.

Walter: Well, I play a pretty fierce hand of bridge.

Kitty: Oh, well, that's bloody exciting. And you, you dragged me around all those interminable

Walter: I suppose you're right.

Kitty: It was silly of us to look for qualities in each other that we never had.

Walter: Yes. Yes, it was.

这也许是两东谈主第一次真实面对面的坦诚对话，以前通盘的不快、别扭，以至仇恨都在两东谈主浅浅的话语中渐渐溶化了。

当坚冰散去，两东谈主深藏在心底的爱情也得以爆发。就在两东谈主沉浸在这迟来的爱情中时，Kitty孕珠了，但她却不可细目孩子是Charlie的如故Walter的。这时候，Walter再一次推崇出耿直和忘我，认为孩子是谁的不伏击，绝对宽待了Kitty。

Walter: A baby? You're quite certain?

Kitty: Yes.

Walter: Well, that's wonderful. How long do you think you've been like this?

Kitty: Two months. Maybe longer.

Walter: Kitty. Am I the father?

Kitty: I honestly don't know. I'm sorry.

Walter: Well. It doesn't matter now, does it?

Kitty: No. No, it doesn't .

然而就在不雅众期待着一个happy ending的时候，Walter却不幸感染了霍乱。Kitty不顾被传染的危机，一直陪伴在他身边。而Walter在临死之前对Kitty说的最后的心里话竟然是“Forgive me.”这让Kitty愈发肉痛和内疚。宽待别东谈主，救赎我方，Walter的死天然悲哀，却使影片的这一主题得以完满。

Kitty: Are you awake? Are you feeling better?

Walter: Forgive me.

Kitty: Forgive you? There's nothing to forgive. Walter. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

影片最后，几年后的Kitty带着犬子在街头再次再会Charlie，在Charlie作出重话旧情的暗意时，Kitty果决绝交了他，完成了对我方情感息兵德的救赎，也减轻了影片的悲催颜色。

然而演义原著的扫尾却与影片相背：Kitty回到伦敦后，由于受不了颓靡，又回到了Charlie身边。但这么的结局的确太过狠毒，令东谈主感到无聊。这也许是基于作者毛姆对于东谈主的惶恐人道的瞻念察。也许就像雪莱的诗句里说的：“Lift not the painted veil which those who live call life.”——“别揭开生活的面纱”，因为面纱之下就是阴雨、惶恐的东谈主类人道。
