98年10月第一次接觸,至今已看過不下50遍.

其中的音樂(尤其是the underground,Kate's theme and Milly's theme),威尼斯的美景以及Milly,Kate and Merton 的一些台詞,真是叫人唸唸不忘.

最喜歡的有兩處,一是Milly得知真相後病情惡化,Merton去探她,同她的那段對話(這段是編劇的創意,因為在詹姆士原著中此處是著名的"故意留白").
Milly用一句無奈的"I love u,both of u!"打斷Merton的解釋,Merton 無言以對,口中只喃喃重複:"I'm so sorry..."此時Milly's theme用鋼琴輕緩奏出.

二是Milly去世後,Kate and Merton在Merton的倫敦寓所中的那段.
Kate燒了信,Merton抱著她說:"I love u,Kate..."Kate哭著回應:"I love u,too..."
M:She wanted us to be together...
K:We will be.
M:I want to marry you Kate,without her money.
K:Is that ur condition?
M:Yes.
K:Am I allowed one,too?
M:Of course u r.
K:Give me ur word of honor,yr word of honor,that u'll not be in love,with her memory!
Merton無言,Kate起身,離開.Merton眼前,浮現出Milly的倩影,又響起Milly's theme--一開始還是略顯單薄的鋼琴,隨後大片絃樂接上,畫面轉到片尾--

Merton提著箱子走下貢多拉,水鳥帶幾分淒烈的鳴聲與Milly溫柔的畫外音搭調又不襯:
Milly:I believe in u,I just do.I have a good feeling.I think everything is going to happen for u,Merton,sooner than u think.With certain people I know.


人生無常,愛亦無常,世間萬物本是無常.
我們究竟應該怎麼活?才可以既對得起自己,又對得起別人?
又或許,這根本就是一種不可能?
