而另一部分人都在有意识或无意识地依赖他人的存在和理解,渴望得到来自他人的救赎。例如无论是在家里还是在学校都找不到存在感的男老师,每天都站在操场的防护网前寻找他人的关注;再例如对毁灭性艺术有敏锐嗅觉的女学生:
《超脱》是残酷和苦涩的,就连短暂的温情过后也是一片荒芜。可是Henry,他用一双被泪水湿润过的眼睛,去理解人生而不同,去包容他人的不堪和罪恶,去体谅每个人困境下的选择,即使在自己最无力的时候,依旧耐心地向痛苦的他人解释“It'll all be okay”。这大概是一个真正看见过黑夜的人才能拥有的温柔吧。
最后分享影片中致敬的——美国作家爱伦·坡的《厄舍府的崩塌》选段(在《厄舍府的崩塌》篇末,玛德琳血迹斑斑地站在门外,一如梅瑞狄斯最终吃下那块哭脸蛋糕,血迹斑斑的倒在地上):
During the whole of a dull,dark soundless day
在那年秋季枯燥,灰暗而瞑寂的某个长日里
In the autumn of that year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in heaven
沉重的云层低悬于天穹之上
I had been passing alone on the horse's back
我独自一人策马前行
Through the Singularly,dreary tract in the country
穿过这片阴沉的,异域般的乡间土地
and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on
最终,当夜幕缓缓降临的时候
Within the view of melancholy House of Usher
厄舍府清冷的景色展现在我眼前
I know not how it was
我未曾目睹它过往的模样
But with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit
但仅凭方才的一瞥,某种难以忍受的阴郁便浸透了我的内心
I looked upon the scene before me the simple landscape features of the domain
我望着宅邸周围稀疏的景物
Upon the bleak walls,upon the white trunks of decayed trees
围墙荒芜,衰败的树遍体透着白色
