昨天终于是考完了试,这学期基本算过去了,后面一周多的时间要做几个大作业,不过就没考试那么紧急了。
今天下午终于把《本杰明巴顿奇事 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button》看了,知道导演是David Fincher主演是Brad Pitt就决定要看了,Fincher和BP的搭配我很喜欢。
对电影的感觉很好,整个电影缓缓地诉说着一个故事、一个人的一生,似乎没有什么起伏,只是在慢慢地讲,慢慢地讲,直到结束。Benjanmin身体里的时钟只是在倒转而已,除此以外,他只是一个普通人,他所经历的也并不见得有多奇异。电影给我的感觉就像Lou Reed的许多歌,平淡的喃喃自语式的唱腔,诉说着一个简单或不简单的故事,留下的是一种难以言语的心情,感动?感触?Whatever……
看完电影我就不由自主地哼Lou Reed的《Caroline Says II》,可能因为看过电影之后和听这歌之后感觉是完完全全一样的,也可能电影中读着Benjamin日记的人,也就是他的女儿,也叫Caroline。我对这首歌也算颇为钟爱,Lou Reed的呢喃式的甚至好像有点走调的声音对我来说很有魅力,声音、音乐都很有张力,所以干脆就用它当了标题。
Caroline Says II – Lou Reed
Caroline says
As she gets up off the floor
Why is it that you beat me
It isn’t any funCaroline says
As she makes up her eyes
You ought to learn more about yourself
Think more than just IBut she’s not afraid to die
All of her friends call her Alaska
When she takes speed
They laugh and ask her
What is in her mind
what is in her mindCaroline says
As she gets up from the floor
You can hit me all you want to
But I don’t love you any moreCaroline says
While biting her lip
Life is meant to be more than this
And this is a bum tripBut she’s not afraid to die
All her friends call her Alaska
When she takes speed
They laugh and ask her
What is in her mind
What is in her mind
She put her fist through the window pane
It was such a funny feeling
It’s so cold in Alaska
It’s so cold in Alaska
It’s so cold in Alaska
