当初选择blog theme的时候,是看到这个主题的名字叫almost spring,而且颜色和设计风格都十分清新简洁,让人看了心情舒畅,才选中了它。可是到后来却是自己那么该死,写了一堆灰暗的东西,真是辜负了这满页的青绿。这次就写些温暖的文字吧。
昨晚和素梅看了city of angel,记得多年前有看过,但大概那时年纪还小,没什么感触吧。虽然电影主线是关于一个天使爱上一个凡人的故事,但是影片要传达的思想和感觉,却远远超过了普通的爱情电影,它甚至不是一部纯粹的爱情片了。
有很多幕都让我感动得一塌糊涂。
第一幕,我看到城市中四处都是天使。在开心的人身旁,在劳累的人身旁,在哀愁的人身旁,在惶恐的人身旁,都站着天使。一个飞机指挥塔的导航员在发呆时,天使把手轻轻按在他双肩上,让他回过神来,专注工作;一个7-eleven的收银员被劫匪用枪指着脑袋时,天使能听到他的惊慌:”世界上还有很多地方我没去,我再也见不到我的孙子了”,于是天使把手轻轻按在他双肩上,让他冷静下来,把钱交给劫匪,逃过一死。当你彷徨时,当你哭泣时,当你绝望时,不要担心,总是有天使把手轻轻按在你肩膀上,给你希望。闭起眼睛想象一下吧,每个人身边都有天使,随时给你阳光,这样的世界该多美好。
天使能听到人的意志,他们拥有eternal life,日出时他们站在海边,谛听sounds from heaven。但是,他们感觉不到碰触,看不到色彩,不知道食物的味道,不会疲累,不会饥饿,不知冷热。有个即将去天堂的小女孩问天使:“如果不能感觉到吹在脸上的风,那还要翅膀来干什么?”当Sam 为了Meggie放弃天使的身份,成为凡人,他第一次看到阳光的金黄,第一次闻到花的清香,第一次感受到海的波涛,第一次体会到亲吻Meggie的甜蜜。
原来,我们能作为凡人,拥有感官,触觉,拥有意志、情感,拥有父母、爱人就已经是最幸福的使了。
附上city of angel 的主题曲词,好好感受一下吧:
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance,
for a break that would make it okay.
There’s always one reason to feel not good enough,
and it’s hard at the end of the day.
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there’s vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don’t make no difference
escaping one last time
it’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
some comfort here
