靠不近的愛

為了再聽一次《The Blowers Daughter》，我重新看了一次《Closer》。

第一次看這部電影，覺得最精彩的是開頭，伴隨著整首的《The Blowers Daughter》，男女主角在擁擠的大街上逐漸走近，直到發現對方，然後發覺can't take my eyes off of you，會心地微笑。因為太專著看前面，女主角被車撞到在地，短暫的昏迷，然後抬頭對著男主角說：「哈囉，stranger！」這就是所謂的一見鍾情。

從沒有一見鍾情的經歷，所以總覺得那是一個童話故事。現實生活中要嘛就缺乏令人一見心動的男人，要嘛就沒有一鼓作氣的勇氣。而且在這充滿謊言的社會，一見鍾情顯得太有企圖性了。

所以再一次看《Closer》，我帶著看童話故事的心情看它，卻被結尾那個黑色幽默弄得很感動：一對互相原諒彼此的夫婦，他們在失去更多之前選擇繼續他們平靜的生活，雖然各自有不可言喻的秘密；獨自回國的Alice素麵朝天，原來她的名字真的叫Jane Rachel，一直在說謊，但當說的是真話的時候，竟然沒有人相信；最後Dan回到與Alice最初去的教堂，發現Alice Ayres只是一個已故的捨己救人的女英雄的名字，那個曾經彼此相愛的女孩，原來他從來沒有真正認識過她。

突然想起這齣戲的宣傳語：

　　
    If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking.
 
　　If you believe in love at first sight... Take a closer look.
 
　　Those who love at first sight are traitors at every glance.

要嘛不愛，要嘛好好愛。To be or not to be，就是那麼簡單。

最後又是《The Blowers Daughter》，令人慾哭無淚的感覺。


And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Till I find somebody new
