Damage /Fatale 1992
(一)最喜欢结尾时男主角的独白:
It takes a remarkabley short time to withdraw from the world. I traveled until I arrived at a life of my own. What really makes us is beyond grasping,it's way beyond knowing. We give in to love, because it gives us some sense of what is unknowable. Nothing else matters, not at the end.
I saw her once more only. I saw her by accident at an airport, changing planes. She didn't see me. She was with Peter. She was holding a child. She was no different from anyone else.
石板路,赤脚穿着一双棕色皮凉鞋,缓缓的步子,他孤独的身影,一个僻静的小镇。他走进房间,仪式般地打开袋子,把食物的包装纸慢慢打开,再细细地叠好,用铁罐压住,铺开用具,切开奶酪。他想起来什么,去打开窗户让光线进来,只是为了看清楚对面那张照片,一面墙大小的。照片里他侧着身子,他的儿子低头笑着,而她站在两个男人中间,一张魅惑的面孔,深色的瞳孔,仿佛看穿了他看穿了这个世界。
好爱这个结尾,看了不下20遍。Jeremy irons 那张略带神经质的面孔,冰冷又炙热的眼神。换了任何其他人,都绝对不会爱上这个故事,也只有他,让人沉醉又难过。每隔几年我就把这部影片找来重看,享受近两个小时的胶片时光,并且仪式般地等待最后的几分钟。然后不可抑制的泪流满面。
(二)
电影的法语名字叫Fatale ,致命的,也可以理解为命运中难以逃脱的劫数。
他们第一次单独见面,她穿着白衬衫黑裙子,像个小男孩般的短发梳成贴服的样式,精致的美丽的面孔,长长的睫毛,漆黑的眼睛深不见底,就那样凝视他,一直。那一年,他44岁,她28岁,一切恰到好处。早五年或者晚五年,悲剧和爱情可能都不会发生,但也只是可能。
