Dear Ma, Dear Da, Dear Frankie

流水般的鋼琴曲緩緩響起，電影結束，溫暖中滲著憂傷。雜碎的畫面閃過，一陣乍暖，改變不了冬天已經漸行漸遠的事實。

有沒有一部電影是讓你百看不厭的？也許它並沒有大起大落扣人心弦的情節，沒有色彩絢麗的畫面，沒有至死不渝的愛情，甚至不是愉快的大結局，可是就是這樣，用旁觀者的身份來看，竟然這般的充滿希望，溫暖的震撼人心？

已經記不清這部電影看了幾遍了，忍不住想寫點什麼……

a single mother —— Lizzie深知，一個長久生活在單親母親庇護下的小男孩，「父親」這兩個字的重要意義。所以她會以父親的口吻給Frankie寫信，給兒子塑造一個偉岸的父親形象；她始終不肯讓Frankie知道：「他所崇拜的爸爸」是造成他殘缺的罪魁禍首；同時也只有通過信的溝通，她才能傾聽兒子的心聲，因為Frankie聽不見也不能說。溫暖偉大的母愛隨著故事就這麼一點一點漫溢開來。

a stranger —— 對於這位善良的陌生人，讓我想到了莫泊桑的一篇小說Simon。當Frankie真正的卻從未履行過義務父親向Lizzie咆哮著「我有權利見我的兒子」時，Lizzie激動地說：「你不是他的父親！他有一個完全不同的父親了，一個善良的、溫柔的紳士，一個可以教他打水漂的父親！」無需多言，可以說Gerard Butler在這部戲裡散發出的魅力幾乎是把我秒殺的！

a deaf boy —— 「Dear Da」，特別喜愛聽Frankie帶著濃重蘇格蘭口音的獨白。不知道Frankie長大以後，回憶這段成長的時光會不會觸動心懷？雖然從某種程度上說他是不幸的，但我堅信他一定會成為一個頂天立地的男子漢！尤其是他在信里寫道COS SHE'S STILL GOT ME的時候。電影看了一遍又一遍，每次聽到Frankie最後一封信的獨白，眼淚還是忍不住的在眼睛裡打轉轉。
Thanks for the book.
I've read it all the way through now twice.
I took it into school. I know you won't mind.
My teacher put it on the nature table.

Miss Mackenzie gave me a gold star. I've got eight now, Catriona's got twenty.Ricky's only got one. And it's not even gold.

Guess what?
I got into the football team.
Well, the reserves I'm playing on Saturday.
And guess what else?
I got one wrong in geography this week.

Ma and I had a bit of a shock last week.
My da...my real da...he's been sick.
I think he's been sick for a long time
Ma never said anythirng.
But I just knew.
And last week he died.

I think ma is very sad inside.
But Marie says time is a great healer.
And Ma's not to worry any more.
COS SHE'S STILL GOT ME.

Anyway I've got to go now. My tea's ready.
I hope it's not chips, I've had them three times this week.
Maybe you'll come and see us one more time.
Maybe next time your ship docks.

Your friend Frankie.

影片最後，Fankie和Lizzie坐在碼頭，望著灰藍的天空……
一切都是新的開始……
