崎路父子情

《And When did you last see your father》，很好的电影。

和《Big Fish》一般，述说因为误会而偏移的父子情。

也和《Big Fish》一般，临近剧末，主角的彻悟掀起整场剧目的高潮。

反复看了五遍。

从没看过父亲流泪，记忆中如此坚强不屈。

我却会每看一部父子的电影，都感触得不知所以，莫名其妙的泪水直流。

我真没用。

和早已过世的父亲相拥而泣的Blake又再次令我不知所以。

反复看了五遍。

真是不够坚强，我真没用。


“And When did you last see your father，Was it when they burnt the coffin? Put the lid on it？”

“When he exhaled his last breath？”

“When he sat up and said something？”

“When he last recognized you？”

“When he last smiled？”


我无法回答剧末所罗列的这些，只依稀记得病床上父亲拉着我的手。

年幼无知，若真能回到过去，必会拖曳着那个只想游玩的小孩直至他的父亲病床前，呵斥着让他记得父亲每一寸的容颜。

还是那句话，如果，我可以。



只是谁都无法回到过去。

來自英國的電影, 改編自Blake Morrison的同名小說.

同類故事的電影不少, 敍事手法亦不是別具一格, 不過綜觀電影都既感動又溫馨. 攝影更是令人陶醉難忘.

描寫男主角對父親的回憶, 從小時候到自己人到中年看著父親病倒及離世, 一直都著重刻劃父子二人間的感情及關係, 尤其父親對兒子的影響. 回憶片段中尤其喜歡七十年代那段, 無論場景及色彩運用都突出.

攝影及色彩運用可說是全片精髓所在. 每一個顏色都給人如畫一樣的美感, 不時令人目瞪口呆. 紅: 電話亭的紅; 綠: 草地的綠油油, 尤其父子二人在山上一幕; 黃: 黃昏的黃; 啡: 父親教兒子駕駛時二人在沙地上馳騁; 藍: 藍天的藍, 即使是父親喪禮上, 靈柩都被車窗上倒影的藍天遮掩了.

電影依循小說的不煽情, 情感交代都是淡淡的, 不是冷冷的淡, 而是令人看得舒服的淡. 像許多兒子對父親一樣, 不是一味的崇拜, 當中有不少憤怒, 不滿, 忿恨和被支配等, 都刻劃得很好. 喜歡電影的不煽情, 只有末段一幕撒骨灰令人流淚之外, 全片都不太傷感, 亦夾雜不少幽默成份.

音樂也用得不太多, 恰到好處.

Colin Firth飾男主角Blake演得很不錯, 他就是非常勝任這種沉實又內斂的角色. 飾演父親的Jim Broadbent當然寶刀未老, 絕不被Colin Firth獨領風騷. 飾演母親Kim的Juliet Stevenson及飾演Sandra的Elaine Cassidy都很面善. 前者雖戲份不多, 但都演得很不錯, 明知丈夫不忠仍一直陪伴在側直到他離去的一刻. Elaine Cassidy則是Atom Egoyan的"Felicia's Journey''(1999)的Felicia及"The Others"(2001)的Lydia. 這回給人完全另一種味道, 也夠突出.

或許男觀眾會更感動. 電影值得一看.

又一部C小生的电影，07年算是比较近的。最后男主角理解父亲并开始为父亲的离开而痛哭的时候我也没忍住……这种电影，就算拍的不好也都会让人有共鸣。你上次是什么时候见到你父亲的？When did you last see your father？Was it when burnt the coffin？Put the lid on it？When he exhaled his last breath？When he sat up and said something？When he last recognized you？When last smiled？When did you last see your father？The last time he was health，active？The last time you had an argument about something？

before i watched this film, i thought it may be a movie which gives the deep thingking. during the time i was wathcing,i couldn't really understand what it wants to tell. finally, at the end, i found that this movie's major idea is the love between the father and the son. Blood is thicker than water. when the man was a little boy, he usually weny out with his father. however, there must be something that he couldn't agree with his father. in my point of view, i can see that his father taught something important to him. what caused complications to him was that he thouht his father did somthing unfari to his mother. he even saw by himself. he hated his father for the dubious relationship with the lady Beaty. at this time ,when his father is going to die, he can't forgive his father and feels unbelieveable oh his mother. on funeral, his asked Beaty. with his father's dead, the only thing makes him feel confuse is the relationship between his father and Beaty. then comes the real idea of this movie, the man found that he loves his father very much. he feels very unhappy for losing his dear father, at the end ,there were few sentences which give deep thought of the life, even you can say that the make the chance for people to think of theri family.

如同所有的男孩子一样，对于父亲的感情从最儿时的崇拜，到青少年时代的厌恶和憎恨，到成年时某种程度的理解。这实在是非常真实的。不知你是否有过类似的感觉，父亲的形象是高大的，然而有时候又会成为你厌恶的，伴随着人的成熟，你看到了父亲的种种弱点，男人的弱点，你会憎恶他，鄙视他，你唾弃他所代表的一切，然而你还是爱他的，非常复杂非常矛盾。小时和长大脸型太不一样了，很出戏。
