    《Under the Tuscan Sun》:清心守候的女人

      Any arbitrary turning along the way, and I would be elsewhere, I would be different.
     
      很阴冷的一天,为取暖而看了《托斯卡尼艳阳下》,又是一部收藏了很多年、一直不舍得看的电影。封面上的明黄色,映衬出Frances阳光般的微笑,好像应该是充满温暖的故事。
     
      其实不然,完全不是。大部分时间里都是阴暗和狂躁。Frances的丈夫有了外遇,于是他们离了婚,丈夫还还拿走了房子,她不得不住进了离婚公寓。她是作家,可是已经写不出书,只能给别人的书写写书评。朋友送她一张去托斯卡尼的机票,于是她踏上了异国之旅。
      意大利小镇很美,但她的心情始终很沮丧,为了走出低潮,她只想找到一个男人来抚慰她。每每以为出现转机,往往又急转直下。以为幸福近在咫尺,却又转瞬溜走。我们都替她捏一把汗,不知道她的内心,何时才能如托斯卡尼的阳光般温暖明亮。
      忽然想起一本未曾看过的书的名字《清心守候的女人》:你在等待着什么?一份绝佳的工作?一个温馨的家?一份稳定的事业?一个自己的小孩?理想的人际关系?若你已拥有这些,那你真正在等候的是什么?你所盼望的这些果真能为你带来完全的喜乐吗?答案是显而易见的,所有这些能带来的喜乐是有限的,因为它们都来自于这个世界,属于这个世界的就必然不得永恒,不得完美。
     
      Katherine是个叫人无法忽略的配角,她完全与世俗二字不沾边,有着与Frances截然相反的人生态度。她离经叛道、骇人听闻;她为自己美丽,为自己性福。世俗的眼光从来不能阻挡她随心所欲的天性,她说最重要的就是保持孩童般的热情。世俗的眼光确实不是我们应该在意的,孩童般的纯真也绝对是我们需要保守的,我很赞同她的这两个理论。但是完全没有道德标准的人生,也是没有意义的。我开始学会从另一个角度,来看待这么一个过去的我,绝对激赏的女人。
     
      不能世俗,又不能太不世俗,爱与生命的真谛,仿佛果真在凡人的智慧之外。
      电影里有一个故事,被反复提起,说在阿尔卑斯山上有一段异常陡峭的路,很早人们就修建了铁路,远在那里通火车之前,因为他们相信早晚火车会开上来,后来火车就真的开上来了。所以,就清心守候吧,虽然我们并不知明天的事情,且相信神所为我们预备的,必将是最丰盈的人生。
      古老别墅里,Frances对那个文艺复兴年代的古老水龙头,始终很恼火,非常精美却锈得一点水也放不出。后来装修工把管道接错,偶尔冒出了一丁点儿热水。故事的最终,雕刻华美的水龙头,忽如泉涌般,倾出潺潺的水流,Frances喜出望外。我们努力活出精彩,但并不奢求什么,而我们的喜乐,将同Frances一起,在水漫金山的房间中央,欢快地起舞。
     
      Between Austria and ltaly, there is a section of the Alps called the Semmering. It is an impossibly steep, very high part of the mountains. They built a train track over these Alps to connect Vienna and Venice. They built these tracks before there was a train in existence that could make the trip. They built it because they knew someday the train would come.

    To Teddy:
    Frances: Do traffic lights mean anything around here?
    Marcello: Sure. Green light - avanti, avanti. Yellow light - decoration.
    Frances: What about red light?
    Marcello: Just a suggestion.

    去年看了这部电影,也是积了很久才看的,很喜欢,还记得那个意大利人开车的时候说红灯只是suggestion,很可爱~
    还有一部很类似的电影《A good year》,是根据《普罗旺斯的一年》拍的,也很好看~
