Hijacked Heart
背景音乐是Blur的Tender,画面是Julie Delpy和Ethan Hawke在Henry VI码头,巴黎的夕阳在西下。这首歌开头是这么唱的:
“Tender is the night Lying by your side
Tender is the touch Of someone that you love too much
Tender is the day The demons go away
Lord I need to find Someone who can heal my mind”
电影结束,Ethan依然坐在沙发上,看着Julie伴着音乐跳舞,而我耳边想起的却不是她CD机里在放Nina Simone,居然是这首Tender。这很恶俗,Blur主唱(whatever he calls)的声音其实还不如低沉的Nina。巴黎大大小小的街道、Le Pure Cafe、塞纳河还有那段不具名不真实的感情,都没有Julie Delpy的hijacked heart动人。
一辈子有多少回,我们的心会被劫持?肯定比我们heart broken的次数少得多得多。Heart broken其实是概率很大的事件,对女的而言,一个帅得稀里糊涂的帅哥往跟前一站,她的心都可能随时碎掉。但被劫持是不那么容易的。What it means literally, ‘hijacked’ is the state that is vaguely defined and out of control, but irresistible to you. A hijacked heart is a heart that is blown away, with this kind of weird feeling that you’ve ben waiting and waiting for such a long time in your own fantasy; that you’ve suddenly been granted someday out of expectation. It is, damn real and surreal, and you just could not let go easily.
对,这歌就这么唱的,”tender is the touch of someone that you love too much”,对,是too much,而后你”need to find someone who can heal your mind”。A hijacked heart is of tenderness.
9年前的E,满足了J关于浪漫和爱情的所有幻想──他劫持了她的心──然后真实地告诉她什么是爱。可是他最终还是离开了(不管因为什么原因),她也没有去成维也纳(只能怪她的外婆去世得太不是时候),总之,是阴差阳错的际遇,让J和E的心里面始终存在着对对方的幻想。而我们知道,距离是让想象力无限放大的最佳显微镜,而这一显微镜后面藏着的,就是他们各自的hijacked heart──往往,女人的这颗心比男人的大。
E最后非得去J的家里听她弹着吉他唱歌,当J随着音乐翩翩起舞并警告他,”You’re gonna miss your plane”的时候,E说,I know。这就是明知故犯。谁都不知道,他走没走成,but it doesn’t really matter──至少当电影黑下来的时候,我们已经看到,两个人的心又一次被对方劫持了。而这并没什么不好。
