最近看書和看電影的,一些筆記。
走出影廳的第一件事,去查劇本,找到最喜歡的那幾場戲,讀原本英文對白怎麼寫。讚嘆米國影圈,經典電影的全本,幾乎都找得到。也會發現動作指示和鏡頭設計,是怎麼寫的。(劇本之神,請看顧我!)
INT. LAUNDRY ROOM -- SAME TIME LAUREL All I'm saying. You don't have the luxury of falling for some drowning man. Be practical. Now. Which top? She holds up two tops. One is sexier with a dipped down front. The other is striped, cute, functional. 75. DOROTHY Okay, you want to talk about practical? Let's talk about my wonderful life. Do you know what most other women my age are doing right now? They are partying in clubs, trying to act stupid, trying to get a man, trying to keep a man... not me. I'm trying to RAISE a man.
She grabs the sexier top, and puts it on.
DOROTHY (continuing) I've got a 24 hour a day reminder of Roger, for the rest of my life. I have had three lovers in four years, all boring, all achingly self-sufficient all friends of yours I might add, and all of them running a distant second to a warm bath. Look at me, Laurel, look at me. I'm the oldest 26 year old in the world! How do I look? LAUREL Good. DOROTHY Thanks.
笑到哭出來。
陳智德寫葉輝散文集,評香港作家,攪得我好想找出來看。和《宋氏姊妹》作者項美麗戀愛的,邵洵美。對倒酒徒,劉以鬯。使我聯想,在願望清單上擱置很久的黃碧雲。在小小書房挖到的二手書,好愛這本書評。句式和風情,不是台灣熟悉的文調。摘錄一段,讓大家聞香。
「生命具有許多可能,連失敗或沉落也是,這世界的非必然、異數、錯置,比正常和必然的、預期的想像,超出許多,但那非必然、異數和錯置,永遠沒有聲音,因為那聲音,已近於無法不放棄本身的反抗,只能趨於無聲,被以為多數其實是少數的正常和必然的、預期的想像所吞噬。」
我們繼續成為,非必然、異數、錯置這一流之人吧。
And just shut up. You had me at hello.
