電影《燃燒女子的畫像》影評:愛人的選擇,詩人的選擇-波士頓觀影記.碎碎念。附部分英文台詞
燃燒女子的畫像影評若能再次見你, 我將如何對你,以眼淚, 以微笑,還是以沉默
--拜倫
前段時間無意中看到這部電影的trailer, 背景,打光,取景和構圖立刻把我鉤住了
查了查家附近的小劇場就有放映,下了班拉上極不情願的yy同學,買票坐定
雖然這劇已經播了有段時間,這會兒又是晚飯的點,能容下一百人左右的小劇場卻幾乎是滿場
前來觀看的人有單身狗,有年輕couple,有一群群好基友,也有很多是頭髮花白的老人家
可能坐的比較靠後,我的後排坐著幾對老頭老太,慢慢吃著爆米花靜等播放
身邊坐的是二個年過花甲,氣質超然的老太太
不知道在聊什麼,一直超開心,不停的笑,聲還挺大
前排是幾對小情侶,一男孩從一進來坐下就顯得很尬,他的女友嘲笑道「知道你很不情願啦但你可能會喜歡的哦」,男孩表示我就是犧牲一下陪你們來看啦,看他滿面通紅被另外幾個一塊來的同伴打趣了半天

電影開場,滿滿的海浪的聲音,屏幕搖晃著看的人都快暈船了
劇場裡有人在私語,身旁的老太也一直在咳嗽
然後是日落時的海岸,劇場的人都被這種油畫質感的美景震撼住了,頓時鴉雀無聲
劇場觀看這時候音效就相當的突顯出來
四下從強到弱,再到持續不斷的隱隱的海浪聲,風聲,開門的吱吖聲,鞋子踩在舊木地板上清脆的咚咚聲,柴火生起來樹枝的噼啪聲………..火光下畫家的裸體側影………
咳咳,旁邊老太隱忍的開始咳嗽,電影裡畫家也開始找吃的,緊接著是老太的大笑聲
她的笑聲就此幾乎持續全場,弄得我好幾次聽見她笑也想笑起來
——-聽說這電影會是一個悲劇??
——————-
電影安靜,內斂,色彩,光線和取景都極其考究,很多靜止的畫面總讓我想起一些畫作,但要很費力的來想究竟是誰的畫作,究竟是哪幾幅,在腦子後台運作自動檢索的情況下主觀視覺就只能被動被畫面牽引,你要問畫家是什麼時候動心的?絕對是當被畫者的金髮從兜帽裡掉出來的那一瞬間就動心了。這時候我也明白,放棄思考,隨影逐流,盡情享受這種「觀者」的感受就好。作為一個畫了很多年畫,拍了很多年照片的人,電影裡的人物秀色可餐,每一次定格都恰到好處,讓人想捕捉下來,這樣的片段組成的很多的瞬間,這些瞬間變成流動的電影。電影高潮部分島上秘密市場上女人們的歌聲和裙子著火的女人是神來之筆,心中驚嘆這比art還像art的一個瞬間簡直完美。
之後隨著著火的女人被撲倒滅火,鄰座老太太爽朗的笑聲隨即響起
——————-
俄耳甫斯和歐律狄刻的故事雖然年少時從希臘神話裡讀到過,印象最深的卻是《聖鬥士星矢》裡的穿著戰衣彈著豎琴的俄耳甫斯和下半身石化仍然能言語的歐律狄刻。小女僕在爭到底要不要回頭添的都是笑點,電影加入了希臘神話顯得匠氣十足,同時埋了很多讓人遐想的點讓人回味和腦補:比如女主角姐姐的自殺線,女主母親和畫家的父親的隱藏線,小女僕的懷孕打胎線,以及女畫家和父親關係的線,另外一條貫穿始終的是250年前的女性地位,從無法改變的包辦婚姻,女僕不識字,意外懷孕,只能悄悄處理掉孩子,女畫家雖女承父業,經濟獨立,看似自由,但長期被男性畫家和顧客所看低,參加畫展也只能以父親的名義。
——————-
全片節奏緩慢,台詞不多的,配樂也就三次,女畫家是演得相當好的,好奇,擔心,心動,竊喜,狂喜,狂喜後的恐懼,恐懼後的悲傷在臉上交替出現使用或一氣呵成,以及貫穿始終的隱忍和克制,這已很接近這愛情本來的樣子,纏綿高光縱情一放之後,更多的是心碎。最結尾處戀人的深夜絮語,表白數字28,隨著四季《夏》的音樂響起,以及數分鐘的長鏡頭,女主角又哭又笑,yy同學居然已經哭出聲來,再觀坐我前排的尷尬小哥依然換了一個身體前傾,兩手托腮淚流面滿的姿勢,這時候觀眾心裡是 「turn around! turn around」, 然後影片嘎然而止。短暫的沉默後,掌聲四下響起。
——————-
第一次別離,她在前面,她在後面,她說「turn around", 她回首
後一次別離,她在前面,她在後面,她沒有說「turn around", 她也沒有轉過頭

中文表達感觀:《鵲橋仙·纖雲弄巧》
纖雲弄巧,飛星傳恨,銀漢迢迢暗度。金風玉露一相逢,便勝卻人間無數。
柔情似水,佳期如夢,忍顧鵲橋歸路。兩情若是久長時,又豈在朝朝暮暮。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
導演的厲害之處是在一個看似簡單(和書法一樣,最簡單的字最難寫,約簡單的其實約難呈現,所以藝術裡有句話叫「less is more")的電影裡同時討論了:
1.什麼是愛?愛是否也是一種創造?
2.什麼是藝術?藝術為一瞬的保存,一瞬的創造,還是一瞬的延續?
3.什麼是自由?獨自一人的自由?被愛綁住的自由?還是更大的自由?
4. 男性視角下的女性,女性的壓抑和反抗,墮胎等
5.想多一點還牽扯到歷史,藝術史,哲學(瞬間永恆),信仰等等
真是越回味越覺得厲害。。。。。。。。。。。。。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
電影完後,感覺好多天都還困在裡面,看了一堆資料,還研究了一下電影的拍攝器材和打光。。。
yy同學亮出金句 「糾結個毛線,這是個大團圓結局,等有錢的老公死了,她們就可以在一起了」。還真是話糙理不糙。。。。。。另外電影裡的幾個問題yy同學也給出了自己的答案:
電影只是一段回憶,主角們都還年輕,人生還長,就瞅米蘭和巴黎的直線距離,這二人少不了隔空打call,送個畫去畫展,給個暗示什麼的。尤其是女一跑到米蘭聽場音樂就能這麼巧遇到女二?那自然是女二已經聽了一百遍《四季》每次都去,孩子老公都聽膩了不去了。當然不可能每次都哭那麼傷心,看見肯定是看見了的。另外女二買女一的畫回家是肯定會發生的,真愛是不會讓對方starving的......不愧叫yy,果然很能yy。。。。。

附錄:部分台詞英文版 (中文很多地方翻譯發不貼切,英文也有莫名其妙的地方,還是法語的最牛)
Hélo?se : I've dreamt of that for years.
Marianne : Dying?
Hélo?se : Running.
Marianne : I didn't know you were an art critic.
Hélo?se : I didn't know you were a painter.
Hélo?se : When you're observing me, who do you think I'm observing?
Hélo?se : I feel something new.
Marianne : What?
Hélo?se : Regret.
Marianne : Don't regret. Remember. I'll remember when you fell asleep in the kitchen.
Hélo?se : I'll remember your dark look when I beat you at cards.
Marianne : I'll remember the first time you laughed.
Hélo?se : You took your time being funny.
Marianne : That's true. I wasted time.
Hélo?se : I wasted time too. I'll remember the first time I wanted to kiss you.
Marianne : When was that?
Hélo?se : You didn't notice?
Marianne : At the feast around the bonfire.
Hélo?se : I wanted to, yes. But that wasn't the first time.
Marianne : Tell me.
Hélo?se : No, you tell me.
Marianne : When you asked if I had known love. I could tell the answer was yes. And that it was now.
Hélo?se : I remember.
Hélo?se : In solitude, I felt the liberty you spoke of. But I also felt your absence.
Marianne : I thought you had been scared off.
Hélo?se : You were right. I am scared. Do all lovers feel they're inventing something? I know the gestures. I imagined it all, waiting for you.
Marianne : You dreamt of me?
Hélo?se : No. I thought of you.
Marianne : I can't make you smile. I feel I do it and then it vanishes.
Hélo?se : Anger always comes to the fore.
Marianne : Definitely with you. I didn't mean to hurt you.
Hélo?se : You haven't hurt me.
Marianne : I have, I can tell. When you're moved, you do this with your hand.
Hélo?se : Really?
Marianne : Yes. And when you're embarrassed, you bite your lips. And when you're annoyed, you don't blink.
Hélo?se : You know it all.
Marianne : Forgive me, I'd hate to be in your place.
Hélo?se : We're in the same place. Exactly the same place. Come here. Come. Step closer. Look. If you look at me, who do I look at? When you don't know what to say, you touch your forehead. When you lose control, you raise your eyebrows. And when you're troubled, you breathe through your mouth.
Marianne : You're saying nothing?
Hélo?se : Is that me?
Marianne : Yes.
Hélo?se : Is that how you see me?
Marianne : It's not only me.
Hélo?se : What do you mean, not only you?
Marianne : There are rules, conventions, ideas.
Hélo?se : You mean there's no life? No presence?
Marianne : Your presence is made up of fleeting moments that may lack truth.
Hélo?se : Not everything is fleeting. Some feelings are deep. The fact it isn't close to me, that I can understand. But I find it sad it isn't close to you.
Marianne : How do you know it isn't close to me? I didn't know you were an art critic.
Hélo?se : I didn't know you were a painter.
Hélo?se : This time, I like it.
Marianne : Perhaps because I know you better.
Hélo?se : Perhaps I've changed.
Marianne : Perhaps.
Hélo?se : You didn't destroy the last one for me. You did it for you.
Marianne : I'd like to destroy this one too.
Hélo?se : Why?
Marianne : Through it, I give you to another.
Hélo?se : It's terrible. Now you possess me a little, you bear me a grudge.
Marianne : I don't.
Hélo?se : You do. You know you do. You're not on my side now. You blame me for what comes next. My marriage. You don't support me.
Marianne : You're right.
Hélo?se : Go on. Say what burdens your heart. I believed you braver.
Marianne : I believed you braver too.
Hélo?se : That's it then. You find me docile. Worse... You imagine I'm collusive. You imagine my pleasure.
Marianne : It's a way of avoiding hope.
Hélo?se : Imagine me happy or unhappy if that reassures you. But do not imagine me guilty. You'd prefer me to resist.
Marianne : Yes.
Hélo?se : Are you asking me to? Answer me.
Marianne : No.
Hélo?se : They were nearing the surface, approaching the threshold, when, fearing losing Eurydice and impatient to see her, her loving spouse turned.
Sophie : No, he can't look at her for fear of losing her. That's no reason. He was told not to do that.
Hélo?se : He's madly in love. He can't resist.
Marianne : I think Sophie has a point. He could resist. His reasons aren't serious. Perhaps he makes a choice.
Sophie : What choice?
Marianne : He chooses the memory of her. That's why he turns. He doesn't make the lover's choice, but the poet's.
Hélo?se : She spoke a last farewell that scarcely reached his ears and fell back into the abyss. Perhaps she was the one who said, Turn around.
Marianne : Your mother will let you go out alone tomorrow. You'll be free.
Hélo?se : Being free is being alone?
Marianne : You don't think so?
Hélo?se : I'll tell you tomorrow.
Hélo?se : What do you tell your models to amuse them?
Marianne : Are you bored?
Hélo?se : No. I'm interested in you.
Marianne : Your complexion is remarkable today. You're very elegant. You pose beautifully. You're pretty. That's what I tell them.
Hélo?se : It's a life that has advantages. There's a library. You can sing or hear music. And equality is a pleasant feeling.
Marianne : You'll hear the rest. Milan is a city of music.
Hélo?se : Then I can't wait for Milan.
Marianne : I'm saying there will be good things.
Hélo?se : You're saying that, now and then, I'll be consoled.
