瓶中信

Dear Catherine: I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in so long.I feel I've been lost ,no bearings,no compass.I kept crashing into things ,a little crazy. I guess. I've never been lost before.You were my true north.I could always steer for home when you were my home.Forgive me for being so angry when you left.I still think some mistake's been made and I'm waiting for God to take it back.But I'm doing better now.The work helps me.Most of all, you help me .You came into my dream last night with that smile that always held me like a lover ,rocked me like a child.All I remember from the dream is a feeling of peace.I woke up with that feeling and tried to keep it alive as long as I could.I'm writing to tell you that I'm on a journey toward that peace.And to tell you I'm sorry about so man things.I'm sorry I didn't take better care of you so that you never spent one minute being cold or scared or sick.I 'm sorry I didn't try harder to find the words to tell you what I was feeling.I'm sorry I never fixed the screen door.I fixed it now.I'm sorry I ever fought with you.I'm sorry I didn't apologize more.I was too proud.I'm sorry I didn't bring you more complement on everything you wore and every way you fixed your hair.I'm sorry I didn't hold on to you with so much strength that even God couldn't pull you away.

几位估计都是刚看完电影频道的佳片有约。我实在不明白编剧为什么要把男主角写死，莫非他更不愿意面对选择的尴尬？只要男人活着，不论去留，哪种选择都容易落入俗套。因此我总觉得编剧缺乏自信才这样处理。最后再来一手“本来选择了Ｂ，而Ｂ在他死后才知道”，让他留下一封本来要奔向女记者的信，令人明白他本来有决心开始只是没来得及，未免类似于琼瑶。而且可以看到，通篇，男人都始终更爱死去的妻子，很勉强。如果肤浅比较快乐，我情愿看到《西雅图夜未眠》那样皆大欢喜的局面。几个细节不错，比如老父亲的问话：你要选择昨天还是明天？比如开篇男人给死去妻子的瓶中信有句曾令现代女性的同事们不胜唏嘘的“有你在，就如同有北极星，我总能找到回家的方向”，而后来女记者饶有深意的呼应，送给他一个指南针，大意在于“失去了北极星，还有指南针”，这个情节非常好——“上帝关了门的时候，总会记得留扇窗”女主演据说是《阿甘正传》那个女角的扮演者，有意思的是，在那部电影里，她的角色有一艘其名字命名的船，那是当时阿甘听人说要用自己认为最美的名字命名自己的船，就用了终身喜爱的女子的名字——而这部片子，她的角色却始终给男人的前妻比了下去——她兴致勃勃赶来参观新船庆典时，他用了妻子的名字，向她致意，令观礼人群里的她黯然神伤默默离去男人向死去的妻子告别，最后一次下海，准备从此以后开始新生活，而他却没能离开大海——莫非死去的爱人真的有灵？《我的野蛮女友》里就是在死去爱人的指引下开始新的缘分。“佳片有约”前的访谈说到，或许瓶中信正是其妻子在天之灵帮助他们获得缘分相识相爱，而我想，如果真是这样，最后那次告别，难道是那个妻子在最后时刻没能真正舍得，把他收回，永远一起在大海里沉寂……ｐｓ：那个父亲实在是个英俊的老头，Paul Newman，帅足了一辈子的男人也还是有的。凯文不必说了，如大海。女子也是，非常自然。赏心悦目，味道刚刚好~
