一小时快照

        自闭，拒绝，黑暗的房间，像个巨大的暗房，孤独慢慢显影，悄然无声。
        现实的世界里却处处像在做戏，在跳蚤市场买张年轻女人的黑白相片当作母亲，包里随时装上本同样的小说，只为了假装一切有如偶遇，只为有回短暂的家的感觉。
        这是一个充斥着幸福假相的世界，一如那洁白的超市，反射着让人舒服的耀眼光芒，而它下面所掩盖的确是冰冷的生存规则。假相越多，对真相的企及甚至臆想就越迫切。
        不同的个体在自己的生活中，每一刻，每一秒，都在经营着感情的出入，幸福的收支。当幸福成为垂手的猎物，“企及”成为奢侈品，那么“幸福”则会沦落为“日常”，而日常是让人漠视、玩耍、却还要依赖依靠的。只有当这已成为日常的幸福受到威胁时，幸福的占有者才会去认真的捍卫。人们把它当作日常太久了，太久了，而这一幸福在日常的外衣下早已演变成另一种东西。只有——又回到了起点——企及。那是比“捍卫”纯洁多的多的事情。
        生活中，总有不为人知的细节被忽略，而这种忽略不一定是坏事，有时候知道的越多反而会越痛苦。
        家，是一个有温度的词语，某种意义上，它代表着幸福，安定还有依靠，但是身在其中的人却往往忽视了家的可贵，像这个家庭的男人，他的漠不关心是悲剧的开始。顾家的人，往往是因为他比别人更好地洞察了家的真谛。
        幸福是什么，是一个恒久的追问，妻子或以为是隐忍下的安定，萨却以为是绝对的忠贞，男人呢，自然有他另一种答案。
        照片的瞬间只是记录美好的霎那，这一霎那如同春天里大树上一个露出来的新芽，鲜明美丽但不长久。树的成长却充满艰辛，风沙严寒，干旱病虫，人为破坏，确定和不确定的因素，随时都可以让百年大树轰然倒下！何况真实的生活，不知道要残酷多少倍。
        人们还是愿意照相，记录他们欢乐的时刻，保存短暂的美好，至少在他们感到绝望的时候，这些照片可以给他们带来安慰，或可以自我疗伤。或是终于老了，记忆慢慢衰退的时候，这些照片就是仅存的回忆了。
        这不是生活，而是生活的照片，是我们不经易间被人偷拍到的背影。一个失手，愤怒、孤独都骤然放大，过度的明亮或者过度的恍惚，但你我都知道，那其实是我们的恐惧或者渴望。
        很多人对这样的日子和欺骗都习以为常了，突然的中断，让人举止失措，连一点点理性的妥协和修复的努力都无从做起，那种伤害原来并不比鲜血淋漓来得轻多少。
        幸福少到每一点点的幸福都要精心收藏。真实和幻想，我们对于幸福都有渴望。悲剧的意味，看得人心酸。
        喜剧演员似乎比较容易抑郁，笑也许是一种保护色。

The irony of the movie "One Hour Photo" is that it's yet another decent performance of Robin Williams went unnoticed, which is exactly the issue the movie tried to address, the facelss in the crowd. Believe or not, with his high-octane performing style, and wide scope of roles, Robin Williams is never a truly versatile actor. His best roles over the years, Sean of "Good Will Hunting", Keating of "Dead Poets Society" (the ever-endearing, haunting DPS), the DJ in "Good morning Vientnam", Mel of "Deconstructing Harry", the killer in "Insomnia", just to name a few, fall in, more or less, the same category: The unimpressive, insignificant Joe with a heart of gold, Mr. Cellophone, the beautiful loser.

Sy the photo guy is then the sum of all the losers he intepreted so far. Even though his regular customers can call him by the name, he's nothing more than just a two-letter symbol to them, an extention to the developing machine he spent 13 years to "personally calibreate, the best in the state". Williams is "the master of his domain" when it comes to the intepretation of this kind of guy, meek, mellow and non self-affirmative. The best performance of his in the movie, in my opinion, is the two and a half seconds of facial expression of Sy the moment he heard the news of being fired. The devastation is very convincing, makes u realize after 13 years of living in oblivion this seemingly worthless job is all that Sy hanged his existence onto, and how the blow of the cruelity of life can be delivered in full fledge with such a trivial mishap. The tricky part is Sy is walking on the borderline of being a likeable Everyman and creepy psycopath and Williams kept it in perfect balance throughout the movie. Even when Sy snapped after being fire and crossed the line from being a shy stalker to a downright life-threating criminal, he still kept his moderation and cowardness and, for better or worse, at the final moment the decency of humanity flashed back in his tormented mind and the movie ended in mediocracy.

Being a thriller, the cinemagraphy and music score did a decent job delievering a well-controlled, introvert kind of creepy feeling. The unrealistic tidiness of the supermarket constantly rub the viewers' mind with uneasiness, and the music helps to build up the suspense which is otherwisely inadequately done. The ending, being smart and decent, feels unsatisfying nonetheless. With a conventional script and predictable plot, there's nothing to watch for this movie other than the performance of WIlliams.

( I very much like to talk about "the facelss in crowd" issue but it's too huge a topic, so here it is, this half-assed piece of a decent but mediocre movie. )

又是一段童年阴影，一个Creepy的偷窥者，还有一个濒临破裂的家庭。印象深刻的是所有场景都是那么的一尘不染，纯白，纯蓝，犹如Sy的简单的一成不变的寂寞的生活一般。长期的窥视使得他错误地估计了自己与其他人家庭的距离，而长期的寂寞则让他产生了各种各样不切实际的幻想。虽说是惊悚片，不过我还是不由得对Sy这样一个悲剧性的好市民产生了发自心底的同情，像他这样孤孤单单独自蜷缩在家中一角的悲剧性人物应该在现实生活中也不在少数。
从片子本身来讲，其实有点故弄玄虚，从头至尾一直让你猜那些Scary的东西到底是什么。不过值得称赞的一点是Sy孤寂的感觉表现得不错，Robbin Williams的确是个老戏骨。

这一张一起举起香槟
这一张一起表演开心
在谁的家让大家给你贺吻
那个爱穿蔚蓝男孩 是否你情人
 为何你永远站于他在近

这张终于只得他侧影
这张偷映他刚刚苏醒
极迷恋他人才想冲印做证
你近镜特写他眼睛
心底恐怕已经
从旁见证过亦替你高兴

情人找到了你快乐吧
和他实在活得兴奋吗
花似年华 从来没一日白过吧
你有那么多的记忆都为别人留下
如流过了眼泪不想拍低吗

一张张一张张的家居
 一张张一张张的山水
日夜将他人回忆冲印下去
眼看你把菲林放低一转身再到取
原来你已印在我的心里

能迷恋最爱你快乐吧
还有大量幸福相晒吗
一对情人 还剩甚么并未拍下

 能迷恋最爱我快乐吧
无法冒昧在你家里见面吗
留在柜面大合照吧
我有你很多的记忆
只是未能留下
长留这店里为参观你婚嫁
何时我会看著婚纱照牵挂

梁汉文 一小时冲印


先听到这首歌 然后前天的时候偶然得知电影于是找来看了
昨天还在歌曲电影配套推荐给朋友 没想到今天早上醒来就看到罗宾威廉姆斯去世的消息
世界是很神奇 但这种神奇的方式实在是。。。
不好表达

喜欢这首歌 讲的是冲印店的男生喜欢上来冲印相片的女生
于是从冲洗的照片里揣测她的人生 也见证她一步步爱上别人 细腻又隐晦 看到恋人絮语里面洗衣店的女生暗恋彭于晏 也会想到这个故事
最后还是为她祝福 美好又惆怅的暗恋的故事

一小时快相却又很不一样
罗宾威廉姆斯饰演的sy真的好孤独
他渴望一个温暖家庭 并不是只是爱上女主角 而是想成为家庭的一员 体味有家人的温暖
成为被认同的uncle sy 像夫妇的父亲 或是孩子的舅舅 被认同的 长辈的角色
一个人孤独终老真的好可怕 可是jake的家庭却永远不可能也没有理由像家人一样接纳他 他失去工作 走入更可怕更孤独的死圈 于是只能走向悲剧和毁灭
他也是充满善意的人 只是不能接受心中美好童话家庭的破灭 才划掉出轨破坏家庭的男主的照片的头像
之前是整齐的一家人的照片贴起来 虽然慢慢一墙的照片让人不寒而栗
只能幻想是别人的家人 拿着别人幸福一家的照片 假装自己也是其中一员
永远不可能被接受
最后在警局里看到他自己拍的照片 桌子 墙角 马桶盖
没有人 都是冰冷的 没有生命力的 家具 死物
觉得很难过然后也无能为力

今天早上听闻他的死讯
刚看完这样一部电影
觉得心很塞
 
R.I.P.

Why did a person who develops films pay attention to a family often takes photographs? Why did he give them larger photographs than they requested and camera as presents regardless of losing his job? Why did he teach the husband of the family a lesson when he betrayed his wife, although it meant that he would be taken and kept prisoner with the authority of the law by the police? The film “One Hour Photo” itself, however, didn’t tell us the answers to these questions.

The leading character in the film, Simon, was an old, poor man. He had never been married and he didn’t have children. He had no friends or even just anyone to talk with. He lived alone and felt terribly lonely and uneasy. It was not meaningful for Simon to live in the world. But when he noticed the family which appeared to be happy, something changed. The perfect relationship of this family became Simon’s beautiful dream in heart. He thought that his responsibility was to keep the members of the family happy forever. Simon did a lot of things. Some of them were right while the others might be not appropriate. But it was not important. He made the family members understood something significant in the end and they became Simon’s rare friends all over the world.

After seeing this film, most of us wondered why Simon behave like this. The film didn’t mention it and we didn’t know exactly either. In my opinion, the most possible explanation was that Simon’s parents did something hurt him badly when he was a little boy. Maybe his father betrayed his mother so made his mother and him rather unhappy. So he didn’t believe in marriage and hate men who betrayed their wives. Of course, it’s just my opinion. But it is clear that Simon’s childhood was rather painful.

The child in the film was lucky because Simon came to help him to make his family start again. But he was just a character in the film. In fact, nearly all children who had unhappy families don’t have the chance to regain happiness.

What I want to say is that childhood is quite important to people. Wonderful childhood leads people to a happy and substantial life. On the contrary, painful childhood will make people be tired of life and often think that society owe him so that he will never feel hopeful. As a result, we should give all children carefree childhood. After we got married then become fathers or mothers of our children, we shouldn’t be too selfish. Children are very sensitive to their parents’ behavior. So before we do everything, we must think whether it would hurt our children and what impact we would put on our children first in order not to hurt their feelings. We must try our best to create a good surrounding for our children to grow up healthily and happily in.
