《雲圖》英文台詞記錄

在電影院看了閹割版的《Cloud Atlas》，非常喜歡這種片，回家趕快補看了完整版，發現被剪掉了太多精彩的片段，精彩的台詞也丟了不少，看第三遍的時候，我記錄了如下這些喜歡的句子：

I know, Sixsmith, you groan and shake your head, but you smile too, which is why I love you.

I will not be subjugated to criminal abuse!

At this point in my life, all I know, Sixsmith, is that this world spins from the same unseen forces that twist our hearts.

Seen too much of the world, I no good slave.

You can maintain power over people, as long as you give them something. Rob a man of everything, and that man will no loner be in your power.

-Did you ever think that the universe was against you?
-All the time.

Freedom, the fatuous jingle of our civilization. But only those deprived of it have the barest inkling of what it really is.

You have to do whatever you can't not do.

Belief like fear or love is forced to be understood as we understand the theory of relativity and principles of uncertainty. Phenomena that determine the course of our lives. Yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Yesterday, I believe I would never have done what I did today. These forces that often remake time and space, they can shape and alter who we imagine ourselves to be, begin long before we are born, and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices like quantum trajectories are understood moment to moment at each point of intersection, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction.

-What are you reading?
-Old letters.
-Why do you keep reading them?
-I don't know. Just trying to understand why we keep making the same mistakes... over and over.

Nay, the dead never stay dead. Open your ears, and they'll never stop a yibberin'.

-All clear.
-Thank you.
-No sweat, we're partners. But you got to tell me what's happening.
-Okay, let me take off these clothes, call the cops, and I promise I tell you everything that happen in the morning.
-Okay. But I hope you realize you just said exactly what every character in any decent mystery says right before they get killed.
-Good night, Javier.

Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we're bound to others, past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, rebirth our future.

No revolutionary ever was.

I understand now, that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may trandcend any convention, if only one can first conceive of doing so. Moments like this, I can feel your heart beating as clearly as I feel my own, and I know that separation is an illusion. My life extends far beyond the limitations of me.

To be is to be perceived. And so to know thyself is only possible through the eyes of the other. The nature of our immortal lives is in the consequences of our words and deeds, that go on and are pushing themselves throughout all time.

He believed that love could outlive death.

Watched my final sunrise, enjoyed the last cigarette. Didn't think the view could be anymore perfect, until I saw that beat-up trilby. Honestly, Sixsmith, as ridiculous as that thing makes you look, I don't believe I've ever seen anything more beautiful. Watched you for as long as I dared. I don't believe it was a fluke that I saw you first.

I believe we do not stay dead long. Find me beneath the Corsican stars where we first kissed.

I believe death is only a door. When it closes, another opens. If I can't imagine heaven, I would imagine that door open. And behind it, I will find him there, waiting for me.
