爱情是灵魂的仙丹
爱情就像一场疾病，
狂喜、哀吊、伤心、失望
——各式心绪轮替来袭，
无东说念主能够逃走。
然而，
每个东说念主王人在爱情里成长，
学会尊重、包容、体谅，最终完善了我方。
爱情也许是一场疾病，
却亦然灵魂的良药，
让东说念主在可怜中反思、内省，
遣散内心的自利与残忍。
My Blueberry Nights蓝莓之夜：同归殊途的爱之旅
◎ 文 / 张仪
爱，在多猛进程上关乎距离？有时候，耳鬓厮磨的执着相守却拦不住戚然荏苒的爱意；而有时候，栽种沉，百找千寻，却发现——原来爱东说念主就在旅程率先的开赴点等你……
《蓝莓之夜》(My Blueberry Nights)取材于导演王家卫早期的一部电影短片，影片由三个寥寂的故事构成。作为干陈迹的女主角Elizabeth因爱而起的一次旅行，将这三个寥寂的故事串联成了一场同归殊途的对于爱的旅程。
被女友放置的Jeremy在纽约的街角规划着一个小酒吧。一个冬日的夜晚，Jeremy贯通了被男友欺诈的Elizabeth。两东说念主同舟共济，心有戚戚，心扉暗生。但蒙眬作痛的旧伤口照旧让他们选拔了不同的方式健忘畴昔：Jeremy选拔留住第待爱来叩门，而Elizabeth则决定离开这座伤心之城，运行了孤独的寻爱之旅。Elizabeth最先来到了孟菲斯，在那里她见证了一场略带血腥的爱情悲催。之后又来到内华达州，却差点成为一个赌场老手的猎物。资格了三百天的孤独旅程，Elizabeth毅力到她爱的东说念主其实就在这个旅程的开赴点。于是她回到纽约，回到了Jeremy的小酒吧里。在王家卫唯好意思的俯拍镜头中，Jeremy轻吻掉Elizabeth嘴角的奶油，两个东说念主的爱情苦旅终于划上了圆满的句号。
蓝莓派和钥匙——王家卫的电影标记
王家卫不愧是一位电影标记大师，他总能以独有的手法和视角给其电影打上赫然的王氏烙迹。正如看到猛火中翱游的白鸽就能定位吴宇森一样，松弛的烟圈、出租车里斜倚的身段、快速挪动的高跟鞋，以及怀旧的拉丁音乐王人是王氏电影的身份证。
天然，辨别王家卫电影的不单是是画面和镜头标记，还有许多具象的实体。《阿飞正传》里的无脚鸟、《春光乍泻》里的伊瓦苏瀑布、《名目年华》里的船票，王人是故事情节里极度首要的传情之物。在《蓝莓之夜》里，担任这首要串联扮装的则是蓝莓派和钥匙。
蓝莓派在电影中曾两度出现，一个在起原，一个在结果。对于蓝莓派，Jeremy和Elizabeth也有一段寓意丰富的对话。
Jeremy: It's like these pies and cakes. At the end of every night, the cheesecake and the apple pie are always completely gone. The peach cobbler and the chocolate mousse cake are nearly finished. But there's always a whole blueberry pie left untouched.
Elizabeth: So what's wrong with the blueberry pie?
Jeremy: There's nothing wrong with the blueberry pie. It's just people make other choices. You can't blame the blueberry pie. It's just no one wants it.
统一个东说念主，统一种派，先后两次回味，却是两种滋味。Elizabeth第一次在酒吧点蓝莓派时，正在回味被放置后的自卑感，以为我方就像没东说念主要的蓝莓派。而当Elizabeth回到纽约，在Jeremy身上找到遗失的爱情之后，第二次点了一份蓝莓派。当Elizabeth大口大口地咀嚼着蓝莓派时，她的脸上挂着甜密。原来这没东说念主要的蓝莓派，竟是如斯好吃。寻找到爱情的Elizabeth也再次找回了自信。电影中的蓝莓派就像生活中的爱情，不关乎自己的滋味，只关乎不同的选拔。
如果说蓝莓派是Elizabeth的化身，钥匙则是Jeremy的替身。Jeremy在影片中还有一项特殊兼职，就是替斗争的主顾转交钥匙。
Jeremy: I've had customers leaving keys here for years. Sometimes they pick them up in a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks.
Elizabeth: Well, what about most of the time?
Jeremy: Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar.
Elizabeth: Well, why do you keep them? You should just throw them out.
Jeremy: No. I couldn't do that.
Elizabeth: Why not?
Jeremy: If I threw these keys away, then those doors will be closed forever. And that shouldn't be up to me to decide, should it?
原来，每一串钥匙王人代表一个落空的爱情故事。钥匙是打开房门的器具，两东说念主共有一把钥匙是两东说念主互信托任、相互慰藉、共同生活的透露。而每把交出去的钥匙则代表着关闭的心门。有时候，这扇心门还不错再打开，是以“Sometimes they pick them up in a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks.”但是绝大大批时候，却是破镜难以重圆，覆水也难再收。“Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar.”
但在这一罐钥匙里，有一串钥匙尤其一鸣惊人。
Jeremy: These keys used to belong to a young lad from Manchester, England, who made plans and had dreams of running every marathon in this country starting in New York. He was going to write a journal about his experiences and ended up running a cáfe. Later they were given to a Russian girl who loved collecting keys and watching sunsets. Unfortunately, she loved sunsets more than the keys and ended up disappearing into one.
Elizabeth: Why didn't you go looking for her?
Jeremy: When I was little, my mum used to take me to the park on weekends. She said if I ever got lost. I had to stay in one place so that she'd find me.
Elizabeth: Does that work?
Jeremy: Not really. She got lost once looking for me.
在这一段对话中，Jeremy以第三东说念主称蒙胧地敷陈了我方的故事。然而，粗略是同舟共济，Elizabeth心领意会，坐窝毅力到那位来自曼彻斯特、满怀狂放主义的英国小伙其实就是面前的Jeremy。但她和Jeremy却具备了两种不同的性格特征：Elizabeth柔嫩的外在下荫藏着一颗倔强和冒险的灵魂，而Jeremy却更像一个被迫的恭候者。Jeremy说的一句话也透露了他的东说念主生玄学：“If I ever got lost, I had to stay in one place.”这种性格的矛盾也决定了两个东说念主在急遽数面之后注定选拔不同的方式疗伤：Elizabeth义无反顾地踏上了莫得办法地的征途，而Jeremy则连接偏安于纽约一角，在他的咖啡馆里等候爱情的再次来临。
有时候，一个东说念主的出现频频能改变另一个东说念主的生活，致使完全颠覆对方的性格。也难怪有东说念主说：“The reason I love you is not because who you are, but because who I am when I am with you.”Elizabeth与Jeremy的相遇为两东说念主最后的扮装互换埋下了种子。在影片结果处，Elizabeth回到了纽约，因为在离开纽约的三百多天里，她发现她爱的东说念主施行上就在旅程运行的方位。而Jeremy死水微澜的心在Elizabeth走后如被暴风暴雨掀翻的海面，他束缚地寻找着Elizabeth，哪怕毫无陈迹。他致使决心关门破产，卖掉咖啡馆，放置他从小到大所信守的缘木求鱼式的东说念主生玄学。为了体现Jeremy的这一首要转换，当影片最后Jeremy和Elizabeth再次重逢时，王家卫不忘再次借钥匙传达表情。
Elizabeth: Where are the keys? You don't keep them anymore?
Jeremy: I've been trying to give them back to their owners. Do you want yours?
Elizabeth: No. I don't need them anymore. What about your keys?
Jeremy: I got rid of them.
这么的结局再完竣不外：各自丢掉那一串不忍断念的钥匙，如同斩掉先前剪陆续、理还乱的苦恋情丝。在资格过想不忘的伤痛之后，两个东说念主资格了完全不同的旅程，如同完成了从蛹到蝶的转换，终于修成正果。Elizabeth这块“蓝莓派”，终于找到了情有独钟的仰慕者。而Jeremy的钥匙串里，也终于有了一把打开爱情锁的新钥匙。
爱情与解放——生命不成承受之重
Elizabeth离开纽约之后，最先来到了孟菲斯，在那里作念了女招待。在那处，她遇到了一个因爱妻红杏出墙而沉迷于乙醇的名叫Arnie的窥察。Arnie有一对被威士忌浸泡的眼睛，他是酒吧里的常客，并在一次夜里借助乙醇的力量痛打了和爱妻偷情的男东说念主Randy。Arnie的暴力激起了爱妻Sue Lynne的盛怒，两东说念主因此发生了热烈的争执。Arnie在恼恨之中驾车身一火，没东说念主知说念是事故照旧自裁。Arnie身后，Sue Lynne来到了她与Arnie首次相遇的方位，并向Elizabeth说念出了她内心对Arnie复杂的爱恨纠葛。
Sue Lynne: I was seventeen when he pulled me over … Who'd have thought we'd be married? In love with a cop, and stuck in this godforsaken
Elizabeth: You must have hated him.
Sue Lynne: I didn't hate him. I just wanted him to let go of me. And now that he has, it hurts me more than anything else in the whole world. This is where we met. Right here.
Arnie与Sue Lynne之间冲突的爱情斟酌一直是个悬念，而厌恶Arnie的Sue Lynne对丈夫悲讯的热烈反应也出东说念主意象，直到这段对话解开了扫数的谜底。Sue Lynne并不憎恶Arnie，相背，Arnie的死给她带来了想不忘的可怜。Sue Lynne无法忍受的只是Arnie对她的结果欲。Arnie在影片中的窥察身份，似乎亦然对他强硬性格的透露。当Arnie竭尽其所能也不成留住Sue Lynne时，他最后掏出枪瞄准了我方的爱妻。这是一个寓意复杂的镜头，在这组画面中，Arnie的身份坐窝从丈夫转换成了窥察；而枪口下的Sue Lynne则从一个爱妻转换成一个囚犯。矛盾冲突的最终成果是Sue Lynne宁死也不肯回到Arnie的身边，而爱好Sue Lynne的Arnie最后并莫得扣响扳机。这是爱到极点的两个扮装结果与反结果的反应，也绝对宣判了Arnie的死刑。
爱情和婚配并不是一个东说念主对另一东说念主的扫数制，密不通风的爱情正如高浓度的氧气，也会让东说念主窒息。Arnie对Sue Lynne的情感是一种令东说念主心酸的、自裁式的无理表情，而深陷爱情囚笼的Sue Lynne也已丧失了解放、尊重和权柄。爱情蓝本莫得错；错的只是爱的方式。粗略，王家卫但愿通过影片中这个唯一的暴力故事，传达他对爱情中的解放空间的会通：持紧手心，什么也莫得；打开手心，就领有了一切。
信任与欺诈——我本良善
离开了孟菲斯，Elizabeth来到了内华达州。在这里，发生了一个与爱情无关的故事。Elizabeth在内华达州一个赌场里作念女招待，并在一场赌局中遇到了年事轻轻却世故老辣的女赌徒Leslie。为了获取赌资，Leslie与Elizabeth达成条约：Elizabeth为Leslie提供赌资，如果Leslie赢了，她要将本金和赢得的三分之一王人给Elizabeth，但如果Leslie输了，她将把她的车送给Elizabeth以偿还赌资。最终，诡计多端的Leslie赢了牌局，但她却不肯将赢得的三分之一给Elizabeth，于是骗她说我方大输特输。良善的Elizabeth天然其后知说念了真相，但却断绝放置与东说念主为善的作念东说念主原则。Elizabeth的“不开训诲”，致使有些莫得原则的信任和睦良深深轰动了Leslie，她苦心警戒Elizabeth不要松弛信托别东说念主。
Leslie: Trust everyone but always cut the cards
Elizabeth: If you're so good at reading people.
Leslie: Then why did I lose?
Elizabeth: Yeah.
Leslie: Because you can't always win. You can beat players but you can't beat luck. Sometimes your rhythm's off; you read the person right but still do the wrong thing.
Elizabeth: Because you trust them?
Leslie: Because you can't even trust yourself.
但良善的Elizabeth顽固地断绝了Leslie的“厚黑学”。她在给Jeremy的信中说：“In the last few days, I've been learning how to not trust people and I'm glad I failed. Sometimes we depend on other people as a mirror to define us and tell us who we are. And each reflection makes me like myself a little more.”
一个毫无防东说念主之心，一个毫无信东说念主之心，两边王人认定对方早已无药可救。戏剧性的是，就是这么两个性格截然对立的东说念主物，却因一辆汽车而建立起了一份情感。字据两边率先的商定，Leslie说她输掉了赌资，那么她应该将她手中的汽车送给Elizabeth。而Elizabeth正需要一辆车，这亦然她一直打工攒钱的办法。但Leslie却不成把车给Elizabeth，因为那辆车是她刚刚过世的父亲留给她的唯一遗产。这么的一组矛盾使剧情冲突变得利害起来。混合进来的父女之情、同情之心使两东说念主之间本来浅薄的债权与债务、信任与欺诈的斟酌变得复杂起来。最终，良善的Elizabeth为了周至Leslie对其一火父的思念，放置了索求那辆汽车的权柄；而Leslie则为Elizabeth买了一辆二手汽车，匡助她开回了纽约。
在这么一组矛盾里，汽车被影片赋予了一种特殊的情感含义。它代表着亲情，见证了Leslie对其一火父的忍耐的漫骂；它代表着良善，面对切切父女之情，Elizabeth放置了对物资的追求；它代表着但愿，Leslie千方百计留住老父亲给她的唯一遗产，反射出她麻痹、昏暗的心底里未被浑浊的处女地；它代表着救赎，当最后两东说念主各自驾车分说念扬镳时，Leslie曾经的麻痹表情已变为满眼的悯恻与幸福——Elizabeth的圣洁对她的冲击一经可想而知。粗略，她曾经经如斯圣洁。
《蓝莓之夜》虽是一部爱情影片，但它所包含的深意一经超出了情意绵绵之情自己的局促寓意——一又友多情，夫人有别，父女亲情已悉数涵盖其中。不外，粗略是Jeremy与Elizabeth的爱情故事略显陷落古老，反倒烘托得另外两个寥寂故事更显真切，引东说念主思考。然而，抛开电影情节喧宾夺主的嫌疑，《蓝莓之夜》仍是一部赏心颜面标电影。因为，王家卫从不会放过任何一个镜头制造娇娆，就连演员们吸烟、翻筹码的动作王人显得一鸣惊人。
Ruby Sparks恋恋书中东说念主：爱情是灵魂的良药
◎ 文 / 分散的鱼
爱情就像一场疾病，狂喜、哀吊、伤心、失望——各式心绪轮替来袭，无东说念主能够逃走。然而，每个东说念主王人在爱情里成长，学会尊重、包容、体谅，最终完善了我方。爱情也许是一场疾病，却亦然灵魂的良药，让东说念主在可怜中反思、内省，遣散内心的自利与残忍。
也许每一个东说念主心里王人藏着一个东说念主，那是咱们在我方的内心世界所塑造的爱东说念主，一个完竣的精神幻象。阿谁东说念主得志了咱们在不同期期对爱的幻想和渴慕，却弥远不可能在现实中与咱们相遇。如果相遇，那便成了电影《恋恋书中东说念主》(Ruby Sparks)中所叙述的故事。
当爱情无端来临
影片《恋恋书中东说念主》的男主东说念主公Calvin是一个才情短缺、邑邑寡欢的演义家，不仅写稿遇到瓶颈，生活也不尽如东说念主意。他光棍，茕居，莫得一又友，唯独哥哥Harry偶尔来看他，与他说说心里话，此外便只剩下一只小狗Scotty与他相伴。心绪低垂的Calvin平常求援于心理大夫，但愿能早日规复对创作和生活的信心。
某天晚上，Calvin梦到了一个女孩，遽然之间有了灵感，于是运行起早贪黑地跋扈写稿。他想象着她有一头红色的长发和一对碧绿的眼睛，笑脸明媚，有一颗孩子一样单纯的心。Calvin给她取名为Ruby Sparks。Ruby很早就辍学，喜欢画画，会烹调，况兼善解东说念主意。Calvin按照我方的喜好塑造了她，在虚假的演义中赋予了她水灵的生命，并发觉我方渐渐爱上了她。他将我方这种奇妙的心扉告诉了心理大夫。
Calvin: What I'm trying to say is it's almost like I'm writing to spend time with her.
Psychiatrist: Who?
Calvin: The girl. The one I'm writing. It's ... I go to sleep at night, just waiting to get to my typewriter again so I can be with her. It's like ... it's like I'm falling in love with her.
Psychiatrist: That's wonderful.
Calvin: No, it's not. I can't fall in love with a girl I write.
Psychiatrist: Why not?
Calvin: Because she's not real.
然而，在一个早晨，当Calvin走下楼梯时，却发现Ruby出目前他的厨房里。Calvin慌乱不安，以为我方精神参差词语了。无论Ruby怎样对他笑，跟他讲话，或碰触他的身体，Calvin王人认定Ruby不外是我方的幻觉。他躲在房间里，打电话四处求援。他的哥哥Harry也无法信托他的奇遇，于是建议他带Ruby外出，看别东说念主能不成看到Ruby。
Calvin走上街头，Ruby紧随其旁，但Calvin却不敢与她对话，只怕别东说念主把我方当成疯子。为了缓解震惊和进退失据的心情，Calvin去跟一个生疏粉丝约聚，成果歪打正着：扫数东说念主王人能看到Ruby，约聚的女孩尴尬万分，Ruby更是震怒不已。Calvin先是感到骇怪，继而又喜不自禁，追回了因伤心而跑开的Ruby。
寰球面哪有这么的功德？梦中情东说念主果然变成现实中的恋东说念主，爱情竟然会无端地来临，好像天主对他开了一个玩笑。
接下来的日子是Calvin东说念主生中最好意思好的时光。这个因我方的内心渴慕而出现的东说念主的神情、本性、民风，致使那些旁东说念主无法捉摸而他却无比熟悉的小性子，王人令他沉醉不已。爱情突如其来，谁能料到呢？在他最孤独失落的时候，她像天神一样降落在他的身边，拯救了他的东说念主生。他们追赶打闹、看恐怖电影、回味好意思食、舞蹈、亲吻……还有什么比相爱更好意思好呢？爱情仿佛能诊疗扫数伤口，因为爱情，扫数的恭候和伤痛王人值得，一切的困扰王人不再是难题。
Calvin沉浸在爱情的喜悦里，意思盎然地将我方的奇遇告诉了哥哥Harry。最先Harry以为Calvin只是想象力过于丰富，不肯信托——直到他在Calvin家见到了Ruby。骇怪之余，Harry未免顾忌Ruby可能是个骗子。为了阐述Ruby的确是Calvin笔下创造出来的东说念主物，Harry建议Calvin在演义文稿中对Ruby进行再创造，看现实中的Ruby是否会随之改变。
Harry: Has it occurred to you that she might be an imposter
Calvin: Okay. You're the only one who's read my manuscript. So unless you're playing some terrible joke …
Harry: Okay, okay, okay. Let's say you created this person. Everything you wrote about her came true. Even the smallest things?
Calvin: Yes.
Harry: Have you tried writing more?
Calvin: No.
Harry: Write something about her.
Calvin: Why? She's perfect.
Harry: Write something about her, and see if it comes true. If it does, then you're right and this is a miracle. And if nothing happens, maybe we go the police.
在Harry的怂恿下，Calvin来到打字机旁，写下这么一句话：Ruby讲流利的法语，她我方却不知情。最后一个字母刚刚敲完，Ruby果然运行对他们讲法语，像说母语一样天然。Harry不得不信托了弟弟的奇遇，而且对Calvin能予求予取地结果Ruby感到极度惊奇。而Calvin却对Harry说，他决不再动那本奇异的演义，Ruby那么完竣，他不想再改变她。
热恋的时候，谁会想去改变爱东说念主？他(她)那么好，那么善解东说念主意，看上去周身王人是优点。而我方有再多的瑕疵，在爱东说念主眼中亦然额外和惟一无二的。爱情的好意思好正在于它不错采纳和包容遗憾，当Calvin遇到Ruby，他们的瑕疵在对方眼中王人不复存在，只剩下爱情的甜密。
当激情迟缓猬缩
可惜好景不常，像大大批情侣一样，Calvin和Ruby在激情猬缩之后也运行有争执和隔阂。偶尔，Ruby会质疑Calvin的决定，不喜欢他的某些举止和民风，或是对他的作风感到发火。在他们一齐去探望Calvin的母亲和继父时，两东说念主之间运行有了裂痕。
Calvin的母亲是一个追求解放生活和狂放爱情的女东说念主，他的继父是一个待东说念主热心、沉醉于植物与木雕艺术的男东说念主，两东说念主构成了一个妥洽忻悦的家庭。然而，这一切并莫得得到Calvin的会通和祝贺。当母亲邀请他带女友一齐共度周末时，Calvin最先以各式事理给予断绝，其后在Ruby的宝石下他才决定带她去见母亲，但内心并不宁愿。
在Calvin的母亲家，Ruby对一切王人感到沉迷，也为Calvin母亲的原谅和亲切所感动，跟扫数东说念主相处得王人很融洽。而Calvin则对一切进展得很冷淡，无论是母亲的亲近照旧继父的示好，他王人不为所动。不仅如斯，对于Ruby与群众的融洽相处他也感到有些发火，两东说念主在对待Calvin家东说念主的作风上出现了一些不合。
Ruby: Calvin, Calvin. I forgot to tell you. Your mom said that she was gonna teach me how to bake a pie. She says we can just go out in the garden and pick the berries ourselves. Isn't that amazing?
Calvin: She didn't used to be like this.
Ruby: Like what?
Calvin: When dad was around, she wore polo shirts and cooked meat. It's like she's been brainwashed.
Ruby: I think she and Mortseem really happy.
Calvin的母亲能够包容Calvin的淡薄作风，但这不代表Calvin的爱东说念主也能作念到。爱情与父母之爱的不同之处在于后者忘我，前者则需要反馈与报告。在恋爱中，莫得哪个东说念主不错作念到完全付出，不求报告。相爱是灵魂的相守和同舟共济，需要平等的回馈。一朝天平失衡，爱情得以持续的力量便可能不复存在。
从Calvin的母亲家归来之后，两东说念主的生活渐渐堕入危机。Calvin老是沉浸在我方的世界里写稿、看书，对身边东说念主闭目掩耳，这让Ruby大为发火。两东说念主之间的矛盾日益加深，Ruby运行有了一些新的绸缪。
Ruby: You read your stupid book all weekend. Your mom and Mort were trying so hard.
Calvin: I'm sorry.
Ruby: You don't have any friends.
Calvin: I have you. I don't need anyone else.
Ruby: That's a lot of pressure. I'm so lonely.
Calvin: No. Don't say that. Please. What do we do? How do we make it better?
Ruby: Maybe I can take an art class.
Calvin: Great. An art class. Get out of the house. It's good.
Ruby: And I think I should start spending some nights at my apartment again.
Calvin: Your apartment?
Ruby: One night a week. As an experiment.
Ruby建议每周回我方的公寓睡一晚，这让Calvin有些不测，也有些不宁愿，但为了改善两东说念主的斟酌，他只好同意Ruby的决定。可Ruby不在的第一个晚上，Calvin便失眠了。当一个东说念主熟悉了另一个东说念主的存在，他会渐渐无视她，唯独当她不在身边时，他才会发现她的首要。
Ruby: How was your night?
Calvin: Terrible.
Ruby: I'm sorry.
Calvin: I don't think this experiment is gonna work for me.
Ruby: There has to be space in the relationship. Otherwise, it's like we're the same person. Listen, it's one night a week. I think you can handle it.
走落发门的Ruby不仅在学习中结交了新一又友，而且有了更多新的绸缪和想法。她的东说念主生运行变得充实，却与喧阗的Calvin渐行渐远。这一切让Calvin感到进退失据、慌乱不安。他努力想把Ruby拉回来，但Ruby一经运行了她我方的东说念主生。
当温煦的面具被撕破
Calvin以为我方和Ruby的距离越来越远，将近失去她了。有一次Ruby与一又友外出，直到深夜王人莫得回家。Calvin躺在床上转辗反侧，毫无睡意。就在此时，他脑中遽然闪过一个念头。于是他起身来到打字机旁，打开阻滞已久的抽屉，拿出那本厚厚的演义稿。他曾经下定决心不再写那本改变我方东说念主生的演义，不再改变Ruby，此时却忍不住在打字机上敲出我方的情意。他只不外想通过些许的调整让Ruby回到他的身边，两东说念主重回以往的甜密生活。
于是他写说念：莫得Calvin，Ruby可怜不胜。刚写完这句话，他便接到Ruby打来的电话，声息中充满了失落和悲伤：“Calvin, I wanna come home.”外出聚会的Ruby回到家，缩倦到Calvin的怀抱里。这让一度堕入苦恼的Calvin感到欣忭——Ruby合浦珠还，一切仿佛又回到好意思好的率先。然而此后，Ruby的性格却因此大变，整天邑邑寡欢，要与Calvin坐卧不离，连吃饭王人要手拉手，一刻也不成分开。有一次，两东说念主看完电影后在街头失踪，Ruby伤心不已，回家后哽咽不啻。
看着悲伤的Ruby，Calvin不得已重新走向打字机，敲出这么一行字：Ruby快乐无比。刚敲完最后一个字，他便听到Ruby的笑声，Ruby果然变得像孩子般欢欣欢叫。然而，变得答应的Ruby并莫得让Calvin省心，她遍地随时、毫无原由的快乐让东说念主摸头不着，使她看起来就像神经出了问题。不管Calvin说什么或作念什么，Ruby的反应唯惟一个——答应。
Calvin: I'm thinking about going away for a few months. By myself.
Ruby: Where do you wanna go?
Calvin: I don't know. Um, somewhere far.
Ruby: You could send me postcards. I love getting mail.
Calvin: Or I might hole uphere in the house, not even go outside.
Ruby: Cool. We could build a pillow fort.
她不再需要他，也不再需要爱，他们之间的爱被盲办法快乐堵截。当生活的可怜和忧伤王人不复存在，纯碎的快乐便显得毫无道理。Ruby变成了一个一直咧着嘴笑的木偶，不再是他的爱东说念主。于是，失落的作者再次写说念：Ruby就是Ruby，答应或痛心，随她所愿。
然而，此次改变仍然莫得如Calvin所愿。由于Ruby之前心绪升沉得太快，她以为我方内心的罗盘隐藏了，因此心绪特殊低垂，本性也变得着急，任何一件小事王人能激愤她。在一次争吵过后，Ruby同意Calvin建议的外出走走的建议，随着他去参加一又友聚会。
在聚会中，Calvin遇到了前女友Lila。两东说念主谈起旧事，未免旧怨重提，成果争吵起来，弄得不欢而散。与此同期，Ruby在聚会上目不识丁地闲荡，当刚与前女友争吵完的Calvin找到Ruby时，她正衣裳内衣跟一个男东说念主在游池塘里谈笑，Calvin顿时大为光火。回到家后，两东说念主大吵了一架。
Calvin: You're supposed to be my girlfriend.
Ruby: I am your girlfriend.
Calvin: So act like it.
Ruby: I'm sorry I wasn't acting like the platonic
Calvin: Why? Because I don't want you skinny-dipping
Ruby: Because you don't want me doing anything! You have all these rules and you don't tell me what they are until, whoops, I've broken one. And then you get to be disappointed with me?
蕴蓄已久的矛盾在这一刻爆发，两东说念主鼎力地宣泄对相互的发火。最后Ruby终于磨牙凿齿，高声对Calvin说：“I'm not your child! You don't get to decide what I do.”Calvin则冷淡又近乎恶毒地回答：“Wanna bet?”
身心窘迫的Ruby不想再多费长短，她准备离开，但愿时辰和距离能修补两东说念主间的过错。而恼羞成怒的Calvin一经失去缄默，他将真相告诉了Ruby：她是他创造的。
Calvin来到打字机旁，写说念：Ruby讲法语。Ruby口中说出的话顿时变成了法语，而在她的毅力中我方从来就不会讲法语。Ruby骇怪万分，申斥Calvin是怎样作念到的，Calvin却只是淡薄地告诉她：“I told you I could make you do anything.”并连接写说念：Ruby打响指。Ruby发觉我方无法结果我方的身体，束缚地打响指。她惊险地叱咤Calvin，让他住手，可Calvin一经完全失控，他跋扈地打字，哄骗着Ruby作念出各式动作。于是Ruby运行边脱衣服边唱歌，又学小狗在地上爬，然后用身体抵着墙往复翻腾着说：“I love you. I'll never leave you.”
最后，伤心恼恨的Ruby仓皇地逃离房间，只剩下意外之灾的Calvin和那台冰冷的打字机。曾经，Calvin以为改变Ruby是为了周至爱情，而这一次他却判辨地贯通到，一切王人是为了周至我方的私念。
温煦的面具一朝被撕破，东说念主性的丑陋便暴败露来。阿谁温煦敦厚的男东说念主在东说念主生最失落的时候遇到可爱的女孩，他曾经何等注重她、疼惜她，决心与她共度一世。而最终，他却用下流的本事哄骗她、欺侮她、伤害她，想让她屈服。爱来得太容易，就不懂珍贵；爱变成了占有欲，便只可变成悲催。
Calvin终于精真金不怕火了下来，他在演义末尾用打字机敲出了这么几行字：
As soon as Ruby left the house, the past released her.
She was no longer Calvin's creation.
She was free.
他将厚厚的一叠纸稿放到Ruby房间的门口，还留住一张便签，上头写着：“Ruby, look at the last page. I love you.”
当灵魂在爱中浸礼
一早醒来，Ruby一经离开。那本厚厚的手稿还在，只是上头的便签莫得了。
Calvin封存了打字机，在电脑上完成了我方的演义——他与Ruby的故事。这是记忆，亦然赎罪。他写说念：“I'm sorry for every word I wrote to change you. I'm sorry for so many things. I couldn't see you when you were here. And now that you're gone, I see you everywhere.”
爱情就像一场疾病，狂喜、哀吊、伤心、失望——各式心绪轮替来袭，无东说念主能够逃走。然而，每个东说念主王人在爱情里成长，学会尊重、包容、体谅，最终完善了我方。爱情也许是一场疾病，却亦然灵魂的良药，让东说念主在可怜中反思、内省，遣散内心的自利与残忍。
曾经的Calvin是一个专断独行的东说念主。面前女友Lila恼恨地对他说“The only person that you wanted to be in a relationship with was you”时，他仍然不懂得反省。而与Ruby相处时他只不外是在旧调重弹。他的结果欲粗略是一种自我保护的机制，当他发现一切王人不在我方的结果范围时，便慌乱不安，致使崩溃。
然而，结果不是爱，而是一种罪戾。Calvin一直以为他不错结果Ruby和他们的未来，因为她是他创造的。当他用翰墨驱使可爱的女孩作念不同的动作，看着她在地上扭曲和喘气时，他终于毅力到我方的恶。他曾用全部的温煦去爱她，但也用爱的口头结果她，用淡薄的借口松弛她，用丑恶的特权欺侮她。他总想改变她，却从未想过改变我方。当他敲下最后一行字时，他把解放还给了Ruby，同期也把解放给了我方。当他将我方与Ruby的故事写成演义，献给可爱的女孩时，他亦完成了对我方灵魂的一次浸礼。
于是，在Calvin可怜地反省之后，他的东说念主生也悄然掀开了新鲜的一页。他以新的姿态重新总结这个世界，坦诚地与别东说念主调换，也与家东说念主达成了妥协。爱情带给他的成长迅速且惊东说念主，而他亦给世界带来了一部好意思好的演义和一个好意思梦成真的幻想。扫数竖立理当归于爱。
在影片的结果，Calvin在树林里遇到了一个跟Ruby长得一模一样的女孩。她手中拿着Calvin的演义，说她很喜欢这本书。她是Ruby吗？仍是那张可人的脸，笑靥如花，只是留着短发，衣裳不一样的裙子。电影用另一个温文故事的开始作为结果，给了演义家一次调停的契机，也给了不雅众娇娆的瞎想。Ruby真的存在过吗？抑或她只是演义家的想象？此时，这些似乎王人已不首要了。
Letters to Juliet给朱丽叶的信：传奇狂放的寻爱之旅
◎ 文 / 陈文宇
快意崴蕤的意大利小城维罗纳。她，是与未婚夫前来度蜜月的年青女子；她，是与外孙前来寻找初恋情东说念主的老太太。她与她通过一封尘封50年的书信相识，由此开启了一段传奇狂放的寻爱之旅。
意大利小城维罗纳是莎士比亚笔下《罗密欧与朱丽叶》故事的发生地，每年王人会有无数的旅客前来景仰这个充满狂放颜色的爱情圣地。在影片《给朱丽叶的信》中，女主角Sophie就与未婚夫Victor一齐来此地提前度蜜月。在这座爱之城里，朱丽叶的故园天然是拦阻错过的游览胜地。在故园的庭院里，扶植着一尊真东说念主高矮的朱丽叶青铜泥像。除了铜像，院子里最引东说念主扎眼标就是一面贴满纸条和信笺的留言墙。原来，维罗纳小城有一个传统，凡来朱丽叶故园的痴情男女王人会将我方对爱情的感怀或疑问写成书信贴在留言墙上，期待冥冥之中爱情的代言东说念主朱丽叶能看到这些信，为他们的爱情苦恼送来一剂解药。在影片中，为了贬责这千千万万封来信的复兴问题，一批志愿者组织起来代替朱丽叶给这些多情东说念主复书。Sophie也加入到这些志愿者中，并在机缘正巧之下复兴了一封50年前的来信。让她莫得料到的是，那封信的作者看到复书后真的来到了维罗纳，找寻当年失踪的爱东说念主。于是，一场寻爱之旅在维罗纳靓丽的表象中迟缓张开。
一趟并不甜密的蜜月旅行
Sophie是《纽约客》杂志的别称事实观望员，渴慕着有一天能成为别称得胜的记者或作者，但一直邑邑不得志。她的未婚夫Victor是别称厨师，正准备在纽约开一家意大利餐厅。为了给精真金不怕火的生活增多点狂放颜色，Sophie和Victor决定趁Victor的新店开业之前进行婚前蜜月旅行，好好享受一下二东说念主世界。于是，两东说念主怀着无比兴盛的心情来到了爱之城维罗纳。然而，蜜月之旅并不像想象中那么狂放。一门心思要开餐厅的Victor把意大利之行手脚念一次贫困的生意检会契机，每当Sophie想与他一齐去恍悟维罗纳当地的风土情面时，Victor便会打断她的贪图，要求Sophie和他去与餐厅的供货商谈生意。就这么，本该甜密的蜜月旅行俨然成了Victor与各个供应商的会晤，而站在Victor身旁的Sophie就像花瓶一样，成了毫无道理的点缀。最后，磨牙凿齿的Sophie不得未定定和未婚夫“分开旅行”。
一天，独精真金不怕火城中散步的Sophie偶然经过了朱丽叶的故园。信步踏入故园的庭院，她看到许多女东说念主在负责地写信。她们有的一边写一边落泪，有的站在故园那闻明的阳台上喃喃诉说着对心上东说念主的情话。将心里话写成信后，她们把信粘贴到院子里一面古老的墙壁上，之后才回身离去。这些举动让Sophie颇感猜忌，想探个究竟，于是她暗暗守候在那里不雅望。快到傍晚的时候，她发现一个女东说念主来把这些信件逐一收走了。Sophie尾随这个女东说念主来到了一幢公寓里，并在一番浅薄的自我先容后与她聊了起来。原来，这个女东说念主叫Isabella，她和几位热心的意大利女东说念主每天王人会相聚这些信件，然后以朱丽叶之名逐一趟信。
Isabella: Theycome from all over the world every day.
Sophie: But taking their letters? Is that not like taking pennies from a wishing well?
Isabella: How else can we give them answers?
Sophie: Oh, my God. So you write all of them back.
Isabella: Yes.
Sophie: You're all Juliet?
Isabella: Her secretaries. Donatella has been married 51 years to the same man. She handles husband problems. Francesca is a nurse. She deals with illness and loss. And Maria ... she has 12 children, 29 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren. She writes whatever she likes.
Sophie: to IsabellaAnd you?
Francesca: Isabella answers the ones you can barely read.
Isabella: Yeah, the lovers' quarrels, the breakups, the really tangled hearts. Someone has to do it.
替朱丽叶复书？！这种作念法在Sophie看来既不可思议又奇妙无比。回到住处后，Sophie兴盛地向Victor敷陈了遇到朱丽叶“书记们”的离奇资格，但是Victor既不感意思也无心倾听。接下来的日子里，Victor连接昼夜忙于为餐厅寻找好意思酒和好意思食货源，扔下Sophie一东说念主渡过本该属于两东说念主的蜜月旅行。裂痕就这么在不经意间暗暗产生。
一封尘封50年的情书
由于与朱丽叶“书记们”的再见，独自享受蜜月旅行的Sophie不再感到落寞，她运行频频光顾她们的办公室。在一次随着Isabella相聚留言墙上的信件时，Sophie偶然发现了一封塞在古老石墙里的尘封了50年的信。信是一位名叫Claire的英国女孩写给朱丽叶的，内容是对于她与一个意大利小伙子Lorenzo的爱情故事：“I didn't go to him, Juliet. I didn't go to Lorenzo. His eyes were so full of trust. I promised I'd meet him to run away together ... But instead, I left him waiting for me, below our tree, waiting and wondering where I was. I'm in Verona now. I return to London in the morning and I'm so afraid. Please, Juliet, tell me what I should do. My heart is breaking, and I have no one else to turn to. Love, Claire.”
在场的每一个东说念主王人被Claire信中让东说念主心碎的爱情故事打动了。最后，Sophie决定以朱丽叶的口头给Claire回一封信。经过一番三思此后行，Sophie在复书中忠实地写下了如下话语：“Dear Claire, ‘what' and ‘if' are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together, side by side, and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. What if? What if? What if? I don't know how your story ended, but if what you felt then was true love then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like, a love to leave loved ones for, a love to cross oceans for, but I'd like to believe. If I ever were to feel it, then I'd have the courage to seize it. And Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet.”然后，Sophie把这封复书按照50年前Claire在信封上留住的地址寄往了英国伦敦。
一场追寻了半个世纪的真爱
让Sophie莫得猜想的是，已为东说念主祖母的Claire收到复书后，真的在外孙Charlie的追随下从英国伦敦远赴维罗纳来寻找曾经的爱东说念主了。
一天傍晚，Sophie与朱丽叶的“书记们”正在办公室里忙于复书，一位年青的男士走了进来，盘考谁是给我方祖母复书的东说念主。这位年青东说念主就是Claire的外孙Charlie，一位从小在英国长大、受过传统英式考验、繁重狂放和幽默细胞的东说念主。Charlie一见到Sophie就对她出言不逊，因为他以为给一位老太太回一封50年前的信，让她大老远地从英国跑到意大利来寻找一位也许一经不在东说念主世的男东说念主，且把这一切冠以真爱的口头，实在是一件无比乖张的事情。但Sophie并莫得因Charlie的调侃而发火，她一齐从办公室追着Charlie来到朱丽叶故园的庭院里，想劝服他安排我方与Claire碰面。而就在此时，Claire映入了她的眼帘，就站在那面留言墙前。已近晚景的Claire依旧优雅娇娆，她向Sophie和朱丽叶的“书记们”敷陈了发生在50年前的那段青涩恋情，况兼抒发了想切身找到Lorenzo的愿望。
Claire: I was taking an art course in Tuscany, staying with a family outside Siena, and they had a son Lorenzo, and it was love at first sight. He had such gentle blue eyes. And he told me I was very beautiful. And he gave me this ring. We wanted to get married, but I'd got exams back in England and my parents would never have agreed, and I got scared, and I ran away. Now what I really want is to tell him that I'm so sorry I was such a coward.
Sophie: So you've come to find your Lorenzo?
Claire: Yes, and I think I know where he is.
Sophie: Where?
Claire: On the farm, just near Siena. Charlie's driving me down tomorrow.
听完Claire的故事，Sophie为这个女东说念主的执着感动不已，当即建议要陪伴Claire一齐去寻找Lorenzo，况兼贪图把这段寻爱旅程写成演义。Claire欢然采纳了她的苦求。一位年过半百的老太太，一位娇娆的孤独女子，一个刻板古板的英国男东说念主，就这么一齐踏上了一段寻爱之旅。
三个东说念主驾车险些走遍了意大利的每一个边缘，可他们找到的每一个Lorenzo王人不是Claire当年爱上的阿谁。这未免让群众有些失落，但这并不代表旅程莫得得益。三个东说念主在这段寻爱之旅中对相互及自身王人有了更深的了解，每一个东说念主王人从另一个东说念主身上找到了我方存在的价值。寻爱的经由让他们懂得了相互珍贵，至于成果，目前看来一经不那么首要。
寻爱之旅接近尾声，一次次寻而无果让三个东说念主决定放置寻找，打说念回府。此时，Claire提议到路旁的葡萄园喝一杯告别酒。汽车顺着田边的小路缓缓地驶入了绿意盎然的葡萄园，恰是葡萄丰充的季节，一个少年正在采摘熟练的葡萄。Claire盯着这个男孩，忽然失声叫出了Lorenzo的名字。原来，这个面目与Lorenzo极为相似的男孩恰是Lorenzo的孙子！Sophie和Charlie王人慷慨不已，看来此次找到着实的Lorenzo了。但是，就在将近见到心上东说念主的时候，Claire却进展得像一个青娥般腼腆。千般不可知和不屈气让她运行退让，她后悔了，想赶在Lorenzo回来之前离开。
就在Charlie劝说祖母留住之际，Lorenzo骑着马回来了。虽时隔50年，但当两东说念主再次相见时，他们第一眼就认出了对方。自此两个东说念主的看法再也无法离开相互，眼波流转之际，心中满是说不完的情话，时辰的荏苒从未让他们嗅觉生疏。在娇娆的夕阳下，Lorenzo温煦地将Claire揽入怀中……
如今的Lorenzo和Claire一样，也失去了我方的另一半，过着孤独的晚年生活。与Claire的不测相见让他欢喜不已。当着全家东说念主的面，他抒发了我方的心声。
Lorenzo: I really don't know how to express myself. Well, I went for a ride this morning as an old man, and I came back as a teenager again. I'm so very happy you all meet Claire and her grandson, Charlie, and their lovely friend, Sophie. My dear Claire, you have told me you lost your Jack. And you know I lost my Rosa. But destiny wanted us to meet again.
Claire: I'm sorry I was late.
Lorenzo: No. When we are speaking about love, it's never too late.
一位意象除外的真命皇帝
爱情，从来不需要你去寻找，因为说不定某天它会我方找上你。当爱情找上Sophie的时候，她是不是一经订婚，阿谁爱上她的男东说念主是不是讨东说念主厌，王人一经不首要了。首要的是，爱情真的来最后。而这段恋情的男主角就是那位率先对Sophie大放厥词的英国男东说念主Charlie。
在这段寻爱之旅中，Charlie是司机，Sophie是经营东说念主。在旅程率先两东说念主时辰未几的相处中，无外乎是Charlie连接向Sophie施展他尖刻、薄情的语言攻势，而Sophie也从不示弱地“以牙还牙”。但就在两东说念主一次次充满炸药味的兵来将挡中，Charlie无声无息地爱上了Sophie。他在开车时老是不经意地从倒车镜里注释坐在后排的Sophie，并老是找契机与她单独相处。但是，Sophie却老是刻意与他保持着距离，这让有些自负的Charlie极度烦恼。
在一次次的搭讪、调情失败后，Charlie终于找到了一次与Sophie单独游览意大利古镇的契机。在游览的经由中，两东说念主运行迟缓对相互打答应扉。他们从Claire的寻爱之旅说到各自家庭的悲伤旧事，从畴昔的爱情说到目前的盼望。在这个经由中，Sophie发现Charlie刻板、倨傲的外在下其实有一颗良善、明锐的心。不外，在Sophie眼中，Charlie最大的优点是善于倾听，这让Sophie找到了在Victor身上找不到的温煦和招供感。两颗年青的心第一次碰撞在了一齐，Sophie运行对Charlie萌发爱意。
在盛夏的星空下，Sophie与Charlie一齐躺在花圃的草地上，两个东说念主望着相互，自然而然地亲吻了对方。爱情就这么在毫无防患的情况下来最后。可他们将要面对的却是寻爱之旅的完了，并可能面对弥远的分离。
Claire看到了两东说念主星空下亲吻的画面，资格了少小时的青涩恋情，她最懂得真爱的额外和时辰的冷凌弃。是以，当他们终于找到Lorenzo，路径到达绝顶，Sophie告差别去时，Claire看着一脸伤心却不敢遮挽心上东说念主的外孙Charlie说说念：“Darling, you're family, so I think you'll understand why I'm telling you you're a total idiot. How many Sophies do you think there are on this planet? Don't wait 50 years like I did. Go. Go! Go!”
回到维罗纳，管待Sophie的是Victor一个大大的拥抱和他一如既往的费力。再一次被专注于行状的未婚夫抛在一边的Sophie不再失望和衔恨，因为此时她满心想的王人是Charlie。与此同期，在Claire的饱读舞下，Charlie驱车赶到了Sophie的旅社楼下，正派他绸缪冲进旅社对Sophie表白我方的浓烈爱意时，却看到了Victor拥抱Sophie的甜密景色。这无疑给Charlie浇了一头冷水，他唯独无奈地选拔离开，却不知Sophie内心其实相通期待他的出现。是不是爱情故事老是以这么的错过而完了？天然不是，只须你信托：追求真爱，弥远不会太晚。
回到纽约的Sophie把Claire寻爱的故事写成专题交给了杂志社的雇主，雇主看后对这个故事拍案叫绝。Sophie的行状终于有所毒害，新的发展契机正恭候着她。Victor的餐厅也开业在即，他整日忙于装修和餐厅开业事务，依旧忽略Sophie的存在。经过一番稳定思考后，Sophie终于听从了内心的声息，向Victor建议分散，然后独自一东说念主前去意大利参加Claire和Lorenzo的婚典。
再一次来到意大利的Sophie强烈渴慕再次见到Charlie。但当两东说念主终于在Claire的婚典上相见时，却差点因为一场扭曲而交臂失之。原来，她错把Charlie的表妹Patricia当成了他的同名前女友。没弄了了真相的她以为就此失去了Charlie，伤心肠从婚典现场跑开。看到Sophie跑开，Charlie深感奇怪，他寻遍通盘花圃，才在花圃小楼的阳台上看见了一脸落寞的Sophie，她正失望地看着我方。
Charlie: What are you doing up there?
Sophie: I'm gonna go.
Charlie: Why?
Sophie: Because this is really painful. I should have realized sooner, but I didn't, or I guess maybe I couldn't, but Victor and I aren't together anymore. And I guess I came back hoping that ...
Charlie: Wait, wait. You're not engaged?
Sophie: No. But it's too late. It's clearly too late. And it really doesn't matter anymore because, honestly, I love you. I can't believe I just said that. But I do. I love you. It doesn't ... I mean, it shouldn't matter to you, because you're here with Patricia.
Charlie: Patricia?
Sophie: And you should be back with her right now.
Charlie: Patricia is my cousin. She's my cousin.
Sophie: How is that legal?
Charlie: No, Sophie ... No, no, no, no. Let me explain! Sophie, I'm so stupid. There's two Patricias. There's my cousin, who's here, and the one that I've completely forgotten about. More importantly, there's only one Sophie.
扫数的扭曲王人透露了。在那刹那间，这个世界仿佛只剩下他们两个东说念主，四目相对，爱意难抑，再多的言语王人难以抒发他们对相互的爱与思念。他们唯有一直吻下去……
爱情如夏季的鲜花般娇娆，爱情也如傍晚的夕阳般好意思艳。爱情，无论发生在何时何地，王人将是咱们为之活下去的事理。唯有爱情，让一切不灭。
Twilight暮光之城：当猎东说念主爱上猎物
◎ 文 / 张妍
震惊和趣味，晦暗和光明，死一火和长生……吸血虫题材就是这么的吸引妖娆而又扑朔迷离。当芳华与娇娆成为包裹吸血虫的丽都外套，当温煦和承诺成为升华东说念主鬼恋的情感纽带。当猎东说念主爱上了猎物，致命的吸引怎样治服嗜血的渴慕？一切谜底就隐敝在——《暮光之城》。
电影《暮光之城》(Twilight)改编自同名演义，以原演义中所建立的爱情主轴为陈迹，在栽种存一火的东说念主与吸血虫之间上演了一部“东说念主鬼情未了”。故事的情节设定新颖而真谛真谛，其构思率先来源于作者Stephenie Meyer的一个梦，敷陈了一段感东说念主至深的东说念主鬼情。青娥Bella遇到了机密迷东说念主的Edward Cullen，但Edward却是吸血虫眷属的一员。偶然的相遇，让两个东说念主倾心相爱，然而Edward骨子里的嗜血人道让他对Bella的血恒久具有强烈的渴慕……
爱上吸血虫：生命vs.爱情
影片从女主角Bella的旁白运行。从起原这个略带回忆录颜色的旁白中，咱们知说念了Bella来自一个并不怎样妥洽的家庭：父母离异、母亲重婚。天性明锐内向、邑邑寡欢的Bella搬到西雅图隔邻的一个小镇去和父亲同住。这个内心莫得安全感的青娥在高中校园里和同学们恒久黯然逊色，直到她贯通了俊好意思又充满着机密感的Edward。初见Edward时，Bella的同学这么向她先容Cullen一家和Edward本东说念主：“They moved down here from Alaska a few years ago. They kind of keep to themselves.... That's Edward Cullen. He's totally gorgeous, obviously, but apparently nobody here is good enough for him.”
生物课上，Bella被安排与Edward坐在一桌。碰见Bella对Edward来说是一个挑战，Bella身上特殊的滋味让Edward产生了想要吸食她鲜血的强烈欲望。险些不成结果我方的Edward忍不住三十六策，走为善策，这也引起了Bella的扭曲。
随着故事的张开，Edward多次实时地保护和营救Bella，两东说念主如射中注定般地互相吸引。在这种致命招引和自我结果的挣扎中，Edward透露治不好的绝症地爱上了Bella；而Edward的俊好意思外形、忧郁的贵族气质也让Bella一见属意。
Edward: I can't read your mind. You have to tell me what you're thinking.
Bella: Now I'm afraid.
Edward: Good.
Bella: I'm not afraid of you. I'm only afraid of losing you. I feel like you're gonna disappear.
Edward: You don't know how long I've waited for you. So the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Bella: What a stupid lamb!
Edward: What a sick, masochisticlion!
猎东说念主爱上猎物，狮子爱上羔羊，娇娆的爱情之花就这么在危急中好意思艳敞开，让东说念主叹气不已。渐渐地，Bella运行发现，她所爱的东说念主领有一鸣惊人的超才略和不为东说念主知的生活方式，这让她贯通到一个事实：Edward不是一个普通东说念主，而是一个吸血虫。此时的Bella极度矛盾：“About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him—and I didn't know how dominant that part might be—that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”
生活就是如斯荼毒，不时让你面对两难的选拔：究竟该弃爱保全生命，照旧该舍命周至爱情？诚然，生命于东说念主唯惟一次，因而珍贵；然而，若莫得了爱，东说念主类便只可像撅断翅膀的小鸟，徒有生命延续，却终是残破东说念主生。变成吸血虫，天然令东说念主提心吊胆，但若能因此与至爱相守，生命的代价又算得了什么呢？
影片以一段Bella的内心自述揭示了她所作的选拔：“I'd never given much thought to how I would die, but dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go.”为了爱，她不错放置生命。有了爱，其他任何东西王人不再首要。
这部影片用精辟明快的节律勾画出男女主角的爱情：Edward一心一意，衷心保护Bella；Bella为了爱不吝殉难我方东说念主类的身份，致使殉难生命。这段存一火不离的“东说念主鬼情”不仅莫得因为吸血虫题材让不雅众感到震惊，反而让东说念主感受到一种说不出的感动和诗般的凄好意思。
Edward: I wanted to kill you. I've never wanted a human's blood so much in my life.
Bella: I trust you.
Edward: Don't.
Bella: I'm here. I trust you.
Edward: My family, we're different from others of our kind. We only hunt animals. We've learned to control our thirst. But it's you, your scent. It's like a drug to me. You're like my own personal brand of heroin.
Bella: Why did you hate me so much when we met?
Edward: I did, only for making me want you so badly. I still don't know if I can control myself.
Bella: I know you can.
相爱即长生：断念vs.相守
作为吸血虫，Edward Cullen领有能听到东说念主类内心声息的才略。他莫得呼吸，也莫得休眠，却领有不灭的芳华和生命——从1918年起，他的外在就一直延续着17岁的时势。他是“素食”吸血虫家庭的一员。Cullen一家结果我方对东说念主血的渴慕，只猎杀动物以得志生涯的需要。
就像扫数的爱情故事一样，并非臭味相合就不错像童话里的王子和公主一样从此过着幸福快乐的日子，Bella和Edward的生活也相通面对着来自各方的压力，他们要一齐面对其他吸血虫对Bella生命的恐吓，还要面对Bella是否也要变成吸血虫的抉择。就算家庭不错容纳，就算爱东说念主满盈坚强，但照旧有太多的费神。
Edward在矛盾中挣扎，忧伤覆盖了他俊俏的面目，他的颜料看起来尤其煞白。他的眼神中透沉迷离，警戒我方：扫数的走避王人是因为他不想伤害Bella。然而，等相遇的这一刻他等了一个世纪，鸡犬相闻的爱该怎样断绝?
Edward: I only said it'd be better if we weren't friends, not that I didn't wanna be.
Bella: What does that mean?
Edward: It means if you were smart, you'd stay away from me.
Bella: Okey. Well, let's say for argument's sake that I'm not smart. Would you tell me the truth?
Edward: No, probably not. I'd rather hear your theories.
“嘶！”李怀风倒吸一口冷气，挺身上前，不是惊讶，而是在抽烟。
Bella: I have considered radioactive spiders and kryptonite
Edward: That's all superhero stuff, right? What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm the bad guy?
Bella: You're not. I can see what you're trying to put off, but I can see that it's just to keep people away from you. It's a mask.
摈弃千般压力后，Edward和Bella终于走到了一齐，成为学校里最受关注的一对。Edward的家庭也采纳了Bella，并邀请她参加Cullen眷属里面的棒球赛。不幸的是，在棒球赛中，他们与另外三个吸食东说念主血的吸血虫不期而遇，Bella的滋味被其中一个叫James的吸血虫察觉。Cullen眷属为了保护Bella不受侵害，设圈套欲协力除去同为吸血虫的James。粗暴的James并未入网，反而设计单独约见Bella。幸而Edward一家实时赶到援手了Bella，但是Bella已被吸血虫的毒液侵蚀。Edward依靠意志力强忍住我方对Bella血液的强烈渴慕，吸出了Bella血液中的毒液，使Bella不至于因失血过多而死。
苏醒后的Bella叱咤Edward由于发怵伤害她而建议分散的想法。在Bella眼里，在世莫得爱，如同莫得了灵魂，是如斯的繁重：而死一火，从另一层面上就意味着与爱一齐长生！Bella心甘宁愿选拔了一条不归路，与其莫得灵魂，繁重地在世，不如和可爱的东说念主去另一个世界长生，放置尘凡，放置一切。
Bella: Why did you save me? If you just let the venom spread, I could be like you by now.
Edward: You don't know what you're saying. You don't want this.
Bella: I want you, always.
Edward: I'm not gonna end your life for you.
Bella: I'm dying already. Every second, I get closer, older.
Edward: That's the way it's supposed to be.
Edward: So that's what you dream about? Becoming a monster?
Bella: I dream about being with you forever.
在这个吸血虫的故事里，爱情不仅不错专一，而且能够不灭；在这个吸血虫的世界里，要是真心倾心相互，就不错“日昼夜夜”；在这种吸血虫的生活里，每一件事情的中枢王人是让恋东说念主幸福，无论我方付出什么样的代价。
吸血虫形象：嗜血恶魔vs.当代贵族
吸血虫题材自己就包含着诸多吸引眼球的元素，如吸血虫从善、东说念主鬼恋、犯警题材的玄幻布景等。
与其他许多同类题材的影片不同，《暮光之城》并不是浅薄地拿以往东说念主鬼之间的悲情差别作为贸易卖点，而是把这个一经雨后春笋的吸血虫题材从稠密的爱情史诗中抽离，使之成为校园偶像派电影，并将吸血虫这个恐怖片元素重新打造。影片中的吸血虫变制品味超凡的当代贵族，而且还有点伸张正义的超能袼褙的滋味。相对于好莱坞擅长的以减轻的笑剧手法演绎狂放的影片，《暮光之城》的出现犹如夏季的清风，沁东说念主心脾。
吸血虫作为西方文化中的反面扮装，平常以嗜血如命、荼毒凶煞的形象出目前千般体裁和影视作品中，靠吸血为生，就像Bella刚刚发现Edward的真实身份时说的：“You're impossibly fast and strong. Your skin is pale white and ice-cold. Your eyes change color. And sometimes you speak like you're from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don't go out in the sunlight.... I know what you are, Vampire.”
《暮光之城》塑造了一种很绝顶的吸血虫形象。男主角Edward一家东说念主隐居在小镇里，宛如吸血虫中的“素食”主义者，不吸东说念主血，靠扼制欲望和修身养性在这个世界上生涯。这群东说念主不但不恐怖，反而个个英俊娇娆，Edward的父亲照旧地位深奥的大夫。他们住别具品味的别墅，听深奥的古典音乐，是校园和小镇里被珍惜和尊敬的当代贵族，这一反传统中东说念主们对杀生害命的吸血虫形象的刻板成见。
吸血虫在这部影片中更像是孤独的贵族。Edward的父亲Cullen大夫早就学会了与东说念主类和睦相处。在他的携带下，他的眷属只猎杀动物，尽管低等生物的血仅能看守他们最基本的需求。就像Edward告诉Bella的：“My family, we think of ourselves as vegetarians, right, 'cause we only survive on the blood of animals. But it's like a human only living on tofu. It keeps you strong, but you're never fully satisfied.”
也有东说念主以为《暮光之城》繁重深度，略显稚嫩，但这其实是一种记号。吸血虫不再沉浸于我方的孤独地狱中，而是主动承担起高档种族的背负，维护起这个世界应有的规律，炫耀出了特外族群的责任和在他们身上折射出来的东说念主性光线。Cullen眷属与东说念主类和睦共存，Edward和Bella相爱，Edward和家东说念主不管三七二十一地保护Bella，让她不受其他吸血虫的伤害——这一切实在是难能珍贵。
《暮光之城》也让吸血虫的才略变得无限坚强，他们不仅不错踢天弄井、短暂迁徙，而且还力大无尽、长生不老，领有肖似于漫画袼褙般的超才略。这些吸血虫的装饰换一下，他们就不错是超东说念主、蜘蛛侠，致使不错是地狱男爵。故事也按照这么的漫画逻辑，趁势将吸血虫分为正邪两派，成果天然是毫无悬念的善必胜恶的完竣结局。
《暮光之城》这个对于吸血虫的故事详细了狂放爱情、芳华期危机和正邪对决的超等袼褙元素，成为一部会通了多种元素的青少年偶像电影，同期也成为一部小资本、大利润的卖座影片。如果你是吸血虫故事的爱好者，如果你是芳华狂放剧的影迷，那么《暮光之城》就是你不成错过的影片。
Catch and Release捉放爱： “钓”胜于“鱼”，真爱铁心
◎ 文 / 徐佳
眉来眼去，有时候就像悬钩钓鱼，唯独拿得起放得下的东说念主，能力着实体会垂纶之乐得益爱情之好意思……
冬夜漫长落索，而影片《捉放爱》(Catch and Release)就像一份清新好意思好的阳光速递，划破夜的凉爽，为心灵带来温文。片名取自赋闲式钓鱼的“捉鱼放生”：并不以哺育为生，垂纶但求一乐。在喷火战机乐队(Foo Fighters)急速拨弦的伴奏下，邻家娟秀女时势的女主角Gray直发玄衣站在一堆白花中央，眼神无限寂寥：蓝本的婚典变成了未婚夫Grady的葬礼——他在婚典前夜的光棍派对中不测弃世。猜想从此将和可爱的东说念主寰宇相隔，Gray险些崩溃。
不外，本片并非悲伤的静默安魂曲，随着前来参加葬礼的Grady的生前好友Dennis、Sam和Fritz的顺序出现，故事运行朝着令东说念主出东说念主意象的标的发展。Dennis是Grady行将开张的花圃的搭伙东说念主，稳定内敛；Sam是Grady的铁哥们，贪嘴贪酒但心肠良善；从洛杉矶赶来的Fritz英俊洒脱，却替好友Grady庇荫着一个不可告东说念主的奥秘。然而，随着Grady的弃世，这个奥秘也变得无从庇荫：在和讼师的交涉中，Gray得知未婚夫果然有个百万好意思金的账户，每月依期开销三千好意思金给统一个东说念主，而她对此一无所知。事实日渐浮出水面：原来Grady在洛杉矶有个情东说念主Maureen，更要命的是她还为他生了孩子，而这三千好意思金就是子母每月的生活费。奥秘的“曝光”使一切东说念主物斟酌王人发生了变化。Dennis在安危Gray之际不忘吐露他对Gray长达六年的暗恋；Sam倾力照顾Maureen子母，二东说念主互生心扉；Fritz和Gray之间，先是因Fritz在葬礼上仍不忘与东说念主调情而对立，之后由于Grady金屋藏娇的“纸包不住火”运行谈心空谈，最终二东说念主拒绝扭曲，联袂翌日。
生活：证实vs.伪证
天主说要有光，于是就有了光。在漫长暗中的寒夜，光就是信念、但愿和爱。光，无论何等隐微王人是性射中贫困的恩赐，被光照射过的心就像是被熨斗熨过的织物，平整而飒爽。但是许多时候生活让东说念主哭笑不得，王小波说：“东说念主生就是一个缓慢被骗的经由。”只需一个法子脱轨，看似完竣的生活就会被绝对颠覆。从未婚妻变成望门寡，Gray欲哭无泪；而Grady由“百分男”被讲授为亏心汉，则绝对让Gray无语……她试图迁徙严防力，她重新粉刷墙壁，她试着改变生活，但从知情者Fritz的口中吐出的事实依然让东说念主窒息。
Gray: How long has she been in his life? Just tell me that.
Fritz: She's not. She's not in his life. She's just ... the mother of his kid. Do you need anything?
Gray: What I need is a little more information about how my fiancé could have a child that I know nothing about.
Fritz: Okay. It was ... It was a one-time thing. He was in town. We went to a Halloween party. He hooked up with this woman.
Gray: When? How long ago?
Fritz: Before you.
Gray: How old is the kid?
Fritz: I don't know. Seven? Eight?
Gray: What is she like?
Fritz: I don't know.
Gray: Is she pretty?
Fritz: I don't know.
Gray: Answer me.
Fritz: She's attractive, in a messed-up, make-up kind of way.
传奇孩子王人七八岁了，Gray颇感释然：毕竟我方和Grady也就贯通了六年费力。Fritz严慎地回答Gray的申斥，同期接力维护她的自爱——要保护已逝的“发小”，也不成伤害面前的无辜之东说念主。可生活频频是一连串“真实的滥调”：Maureen带着孩子遽然来访，Gray发现孩子不外四岁，也就是说Grady是在与她相处时期贯通了Maureen。这真像是个大玩笑！Gray又一次向Fritz求证。
Fritz: So, yeah, it wasn't before you, it was more during you.
Gray: But it was only just that once, right? Say “yes”, please.
Fritz: Hey, I could …
Gray: How many times?
Fritz: I wasn't really keeping count.
Gray: When did it start?
Fritz: When he started coming out to L.A. for work.
Gray: He wouldn't see her every time he went out there, though.… Would he? Wow, wow. Oh, this is bad. This is ... It's really bad. Was it still going on?
Fritz: No. Not as far as I know, anyway.
Gray的颓靡十足写在脸上。生活的真相究竟是什么？真相离咱们很远吗？也许，有时候真相不外目前之遥，只是咱们出于千般原因断绝采纳。Gray过后回忆说念：“I just remembered something recently. About a year ago, he and I spent a day on the river. He fished and I read. It was one of those perfect days. We were on the way home and he said he had something to tell me. I said, ‘Is it making me happier or less happy?' He said, ‘Less happy.' I said, ‘Then don't tell me.'”其实无关多疑或猜忌，更多时候东说念主们乐于沉浸在虚假的不真实中，麻痹内心的自我透露。尽管其后的DNA测试讲授Grady并非孩子的父亲，可他欺诈了Gray却是不争的事实。共同生活六年的东说念主可能有你完全不知说念的一面，漫漫东说念主生路，不管咱们证实或证伪，时辰最终会还原一切真相。
爱情：一见属意vs.日久生情
东说念主们总爱说：路遥知马力，日久见东说念主心。缄默的东说念主会列出一见属意不靠谱的一百条罪戾，会轻慢用头15秒钟判断对方的东说念主，致使会先衡量轻重然后作念出决定——爱照旧不爱。可这是爱情吗？！爱情有时候就是眼角眉梢电光石火的一短暂；爱情是望到对方第一眼时所嗅觉到的déjà vu
一伙东说念主在河畔钓鱼时，Gray玩笑Dennis，问他为什么莫得约聚女孩，莫非是在幽会富婆？Dennis憨涩地否定，立时真情广告。
Dennis: You really want to know?
Gray: Badly.
Dennis: All right. I'll tell you. For the past six years, I've been telling myself the same thing. “It's okay. He's a better man.” And it turns out, that's just bullshit. Look at what he did to you, Gray. He had, hands-down
原来，六年来Dennis一直爱好着Gray。可忠诚的Dennis不知说念爱情是无法用刻度尺来揣测的：好东说念主不等于恋东说念主。真爱粗略有时会让东说念主恭候，但恭候不一定能换来真爱。
就像是在山间分散看到路边一株娇艳的花朵，众东说念主王人想采摘，将之占为己有。这是表情的原始阶段：POSSESSIVENESS——占有欲是东说念主之心魔，看到好意思好的东西就想步调有，到头来满地满是提前凋零残落的花朵，最后化为烂泥，其幽香也被时辰稀释。看到花的好意思好，因而驻足停留抚玩，这是表情的升级阶段：INFATUATION——东说念主眷顾花，但并不采摘，只是静静抚玩，花有了东说念主的关注天然长得重生，但是东说念主我方却因此安于近况，成果生命与表情被时辰破钞，最后化作虚无。而唯独真切懂得幸福且贯通东说念主生的东说念主，才明白对花的作风应该是AFFECTION——因为爱好是以不亏负，因为爱好是以懂得随爱前行。
葬礼过后的某天，Fritz手持相机，在小镇街头捕捉着不同于洛杉矶的别样风情。镜头挪转间，他看到了神志有些伤感的Gray。二东说念主相遇，相视一笑，这一笑穿越存一火和距离，两东说念主冰释前嫌。
Fritz: What is it with this town? Everyone's so happy all the time.
Gray: And people aren't happy in Los Angeles?
Fritz: Not like this. This is like a Patagonia Disneyland. Maybe they're all medicated. You hear about that, you know, towns where everybody's on Prozac?
Gray: Sounds pretty good ... I have to get back to work.
Fritz: Tragic widow, right? If you can't blow off work now, when can you?
Gray心中还涟漪着几丝忧伤，Fritz抒发着浅浅的致敬，不经意的几句话让两东说念主的距离似乎近了许多。Fritz劝服Gray“跷班”，跟他一齐散步于恬静的小镇。
Fritz: I used to take pictures all the time.
Gray: Why'd you stop?
Fritz: I started getting paid for it—took all the fun out ... I owe you an apology.
Gray: Just one?
Fritz: I mean the funeral. Sorry I ruined it for you.
Gray: Yeah, if it hadn't been for you, that would've been one great day.
Fritz: I just ... didn't want to be there, you know? I wanted to be anywhere but there. You know?
Gray: I know.
Fritz: So, what are we doing tomorrow? A little hiking? Mountain biking?
Gray: I can't skip work two days in a row.
Fritz: Of course you can. You can do whatever you want.
Gray: I don't know.
Fritz: I do. Trust me.
爱情的萌发有时候就是这么无风不起浪，也许是肆意的一句话，也许什么王人无须说，就是那不经意的一转：噢，原来你也在这里。
哈姆雷特式疑问：提起vs.放下
片名“Catch and Release”来自钓鱼时的捉与放：钓到鱼之后不是占为己有而是放生。众东说念主以为“提起”是得胜，“放下”是失败；“提起”的东说念主应该加冕称王，“放下”的东说念主只可面壁思过。其实，“提起”不一定比“放下”好。在说念家思惟中，此谓“平庸而无不为”。
资格了失去未婚夫的悲伤、表情被欺诈的不胜、对Maureen子母从忌恨到采纳的心态转换，Gray渐渐获取了一种“省心”的优雅：让他天然地来，让他悄然地去。放下并非无聊，而是释然。生活就像爱丽斯漫游瑶池般奇妙：你弥远不知说念在何时何地会碰见谁，发生什么事。这些不屈气性就是天赐的礼物。撇开悲伤，收起最后的矜持，Gray选拔原谅故东说念主，拥抱生活。在Maureen全心准备的晚宴中，Gray运行“告解”：“I steal library books—on purpose. I have them from every town I've ever lived in. I can't control it. Grady never knew that about me ... Also, I love natural disasters! I want people to die in them. I'm genuinely disappointed when the death toll is low ...”
她把我方深藏的奥秘一股脑儿倒了出来，为的是完成我方心灵转换的一个典礼。村上春树谈到我方关闭规划了七年的酒吧时说：“就像是上学，你在那处学到许多东西，但学完之后，你不成老待在原地，你得离开，连接成长。”如果说逝去的未婚夫是Gray的爱情学校，那么这个晚宴就是她的毕业典礼——资格千般检会，她终于从Grady那处“毕业”了。以上“告解”就是她的Commencement Speech。英文中的Commencement兼有“毕业典礼”和“运行”的真谛，完了就意味着新的运行，合适情理，突如其来。一切变得缤纷起来。
是夜，Gray过问到Fritz的怀抱，二东说念主谈及爱情与婚配。
Fritz: You get extremely cool stuff when you get married. No wonder people do it.
Gray: Were you ever close?
Fritz: To getting married? No.
Gray: Why not, do you think?
Fritz: I don't know. I guess it just always made more sense to walk away.
Gray: Aren't you lonely?
Fritz: Right now, no.
Gray: No, just ... in general. Who do you tell your stories to?
Fritz: I guess I keep them to myself.
Gray: That's a tragedy.
Fritz: Yeah.
把心打开后才可能答应，爱东说念主就是阿谁你不错精真金不怕火面对来谈心的东说念主，是枕边东说念主，更是灵魂伴侣。也许有东说念主说：一又友妻，不可欺。但是爱情是何等有时且偶然!
Gray和Fritz两心相许，不意却伤害了暗恋Gray的Dennis。面对Dennis的疑问，Gray慌乱中矢口含糊。
Dennis: I'm a big boy, you know? You could've just told me.
Gray: Told you what?
Dennis: That you were in love with someone else.
Gray: I'm not.
Dennis: I saw you guys coming in last night.
Gray: Dennis. God. That's nothing. It's less than nothing.
不意Fritz恰巧在门外听到。爱是不要免强，不需荫藏，不觉尴尬。爱一个东说念主就该让她精真金不怕火；如果不成，就离开，还给她解放。于是Fritz选拔远走，回到海边的家里去，是疗伤亦然告别。“If you love somebody, you let her go. If she ever comes back, she's yours. If she doesn't, well, as expected, she never was.”是的，是你的总会来到你身边的。认清了我方并找回了勇气的Gray最终决定侍从爱东说念主的脚步，一齐寻到了Fritz的住处。海边相见时，Gray颇带憨涩，慌乱间说了许多解释，而Fritz唯惟一句话：“What took you so long?”
讲求通盘“钓鱼”经由，悬念重重，惊险陆续：退藏轻浮，耐烦恭候鱼上钩的时候，是望眼将穿，想断柔肠；当嗅觉鱼将近上钩时，心跳加快，呼吸急促，仿佛此番是最后的战役，得鱼者即得六合；不巧鱼或自救或油滑奋力挣扎力求逃走鱼钩，钓鱼东说念主着急、气愤、着急、衔恨，却王人船到平时不烧香迟——鱼怎会愿意被一戋戋鱼钩纳降。最后，要么鱼逃走了东说念主力倦神疲，要么鱼上钩了东说念主欢天喜地；得到得志的东说念主就此收手打说念回府，有待得志的东说念主连接坐定运行新一轮的守钓。东说念主总把得失看得太重，得之若惊，失之若惊，大悲大喜，以浓烈为真本，未见记号之妙。放下或提起，孰“优”孰“劣”，无从定论。“提起”是胆量是实力；“放下”是纯确凿派头。爱情这条游鱼，来时无预报，去时无申饬。爱她(他)，就该放开她(他)。
The Painted Veil面纱：爱情、反水与宽待
◎ 文 / 于晓东
什么是爱？在爱情那丽都的面纱下究竟荫藏着几许不为东说念主知的挣扎和蜿蜒？爱，不单是是浅薄的臭味相合，它还意味着体恤、怜悯和宽待……
电影《面纱》改编自英国作者毛姆(Somerset Maungham)的同名演义，其称号“The Painted Veil”出自闻明诗东说念主雪莱(Shelley)的诗句：“Lift not the painted veil which those who live call life.”
电影敷陈的是斟酌爱情、反水与宽待的故事。影片布景设在20世纪20年代，英国女孩Kitty迫于家庭的压力，与我方不爱的细菌学家Walter结了婚。婚后两东说念主一齐来到了中国上海。在那里，孤独的Kitty爱上了相通来自英国的有妇之夫Charlie。Walter发现了他们的恋情，盛怒之下的他出于袭击，将Kitty带到了正爆发霍乱疫情的广西，而我方也在那里运行了对疫情的结果职业。在这时期，Kitty渐渐贯通到Charlie的失实，并看到了Walter的正直、可人之处，而Walter也原谅了Kitty，两东说念主迎来了着实的爱情。但是就在Kitty孕珠之际，Walter却感染了霍乱……
东说念主性的恐惧
《面纱》虽是一部爱情片，但通盘影片对于爱情的阐释却带有一种玄学的意味。透过影片中东说念主物的情感斟酌，咱们看到的是东说念主性的千般缺欠：反水、局促、自利、古板、恐惧、偏激……而扫数这一切，最终王人在Kitty和Walter迟来的爱情以及他们互相的宽待中得到救赎，并通过Walter颇具奉献意味的死一火而变得不灭。
东说念主性的恐惧最先体目前女主东说念主公Kitty身上。影片一运行就是Kitty的家东说念主催促她马上成婚的场景。当Kitty谈到“婚配要有爱情”的时候，她的母亲却问了一句：“How much longer do you expect your father to go on supporting you?”这令Kitty哑口苦恼，不得不嫁给了我方并不爱的Walter。这也为影片的主要陈迹之一“反水”埋下了伏笔。
两东说念主婚其后到上海，为了使Kitty快乐，Walter带她去看京剧。在剧院，Kitty结子了情场老手Charlie，他对台上京剧女主角的演出的一番阐明深深轰动了Kitty，也俘获了她那颗孤独的心。这段话号称影片中最精彩的台词之一。
Charlie: Are you enjoying it?
Kitty: I've never seen anything like it.
Charlie: Every gesture has a meaning. See how she covers her face with the cloth? She is mourning her misfortune. What happened to her? She was sold into slavery, condemned to a life of drudgery
得知爱妻“婚外情”的Walter在盛怒之下要求Kitty扈从我方去广西霍乱灾地，两东说念主为此发生了热烈争吵。面对Walter的宝石，Kitty幻想Charlie会因此仳离，和我方集中。于是她前去找Charlie。
Kitty: Walter's agreed to let me divorce him quietly … His offer comes with a condition.
Charlie: I'm not a rich man.
Kitty: He doesn't want your money. He's agreed to let me divorce him if Dorothy will agree to divorce you. And if … you'll promise to marry me.
Charlie: You know, darling, whatever happens, we must try to keep Dorothy out of it.
Kitty: You don't want to divorce her.
Charlie: It's not just a question of my marriage ....
Kitty: Then what is it?
Charlie: Do you have any idea of the importance of my station here? If I were ... Why are you laughing?
Kitty: I don't think Walter intended for one minute to divorce me. He knew you'd let me down.
Charlie: Try to understand.
Kitty: I understand, all right.
正如Walter所意象的那样，Charlie只不外是好逸恶劳，当Kitty说Walter同意仳离但建议了条目时，他最先猜想的竟然是资产。无奈的Kitty只得扈从Walter一同前去广西。一齐上快意崴蕤，但是两东说念主之间莫得交流，Kitty在Walter脸上看到的唯独看不起。
影片处处王人进展出东说念主性的缺欠：Walter由于震怒而对Kitty的折磨，Charlie对待表情的失实与无耻，方位军阀对于全球死一火的漠视等等。但与普通揭示东说念主性昏暗面的抒发手法不同，《面纱》介意抒发的是东说念主类在面对自身这些昏暗面时的恐惧：他们频频能够毅力到我方的这些缺欠，但却无力抵御。这绝顶体目前两位主角身上，Walter明知Kitty不爱我方，却执著地要娶她。当得知Kitty反水我方时，内心肆意的他受到了深深的伤害，转而运行从精神上折磨Kitty。而Kitty天然一经看穿了Charlie的失实，但是广西索然无味的生活又使她对Charlie产生了幻想，致使写了信要寄给他，却从其他东说念主口中得知Charlie一直滥情陆续，从未有过真心。情难自禁，无力抗拒——这是东说念主性的缺欠，亦然东说念主生的无奈。
中国元素
这是一部中好意思合拍、全程王人在中国境内拍摄的电影，中国元素天然成为本片的一个首要卖点。除了上世纪20年代的上海和娇娆的广西桂林山水，影片还有个分量级的副角——黄秋生演出的国民翻新军军官Colonel。这个扮装很出彩，出场亮相的一段话颇有阵容，注定了这不再是一部白东说念主至高无上的影片。
Walter: Colonel, can I see where they get their drinking water? For starters, we've got to stop people from using this well until I can test it. Do you understand?
Colonel: Yes, I understand, Dr. Fane. I received my military training in Moscow. If you don't like English, we can speak Russian.
Walter: English will be fine. Thank you.
以往斟酌中国题材的好意思国电影对中国东说念主和中国元素的描摹频频有益无意地带有一定的偏见。而《面纱》中描写的中国天然处于过时的民国时期，但其中的一切王人进展得比拟未可厚非。尤其是黄秋生演出的国民翻新军军官更是让不雅众看到了一个自信、自立的中国东说念主形象。影片中有一个片断是他追随Walter去见方位军阀，试图劝服其协助结果灾情，路上两东说念主的讲话体现的就是两个着实平等的东说念主之间的调换与交流。
Colonel: So, what do you plan to say to persuade him?
Walter: I don't know.
Colonel: These men are like animals. They have no vision. They only have hunger and strength. Men like this have held the real power in China since I was young. But that time is coming to an end. There's no place for them in the new China.
Walter: I don't think you like my being here very much either, do you?
Colonel: I think China belongs to Chinese people, but the rest of the world seems to disagree.
WaIter: Yes, but that's got nothing to do with me. I didn't come here with a gun, you know. I came here with a microscope. I believe you.
Colonel: But it would be nice to do this work together without your country's guns pointing at our people.
灵魂的救赎
值得一提的是，影片中作为叙事布景的桂林山水极度漂亮，而这为片中扮装心灵的净化经由作了很好的呼应。恰是在这如画的山水表象里，Kitty渐渐看到了Walter的优点：他的正直和执著，以及他不顾生命危急对结果疫情职业的全身心过问。这让一直养尊处优、喜欢风花雪月的Kitty运行懂得生活的道理，她运行参与到当地的领导职业中，帮衬照顾儿童。迟缓地，Kitty与Walter第一次有了共同语言，运行对话，并最终穿越相互之间的隔阂，化解了那些内心积聚的阻塞。
Kitty: They brought in a new baby today.… Thank goodness for those nuns. They do so much for so little in return.
Walter: I suppose you can look at it that way.
Kitty: You suppose?
Walter: I think it might be a bit more complicated than that.
Kitty: They take in desperate children and give them a chance at life. What could be so complicated about that?
Walter: They also go to young mothers in their homes. They ask them to give their babies to the convent. They offer them money to support their families, to persuade them to do it. They're not just here to run an orphanage, your nuns. They're turning those children into little Catholics. None of us are in China without a reason.
Kitty: Well, … I admire them.… And I think what you're doing, for instance, is incredibly noble. You used to feel contempt for me. Don't you still?
Walter: I can't believe that you with all your cleverness should have such little sense of proportion.
Kitty: We humans are more complex than your silly little microbes. We're unpredictable. We make mistakes and we disappoint.
Walter: Yes, we certainly do.
Kitty: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not the perfect young woman that you want me to be. I'm just ordinary. I never tried to pretend that I was anything else.
Walter: No, you certainly didn't.
Kitty: I like the theater and dancing and playing tennis. I like games. I like men who play games. God forgive me, that's the way I was brought up.
Walter: Well, I play a pretty fierce hand of bridge.
Kitty: Oh, well, that's bloody exciting. And you, you dragged me around all those interminable
Walter: I suppose you're right.
Kitty: It was silly of us to look for qualities in each other that we never had.
Walter: Yes. Yes, it was.
这也许是两东说念主第一次着实面对面的坦诚对话，以前扫数的不快、别扭，致使仇恨王人在两东说念主浅浅的话语中迟缓融解了。
当坚冰散去，两东说念主深藏在心底的爱情也得以爆发。就在两东说念主沉浸在这迟来的爱情中时，Kitty孕珠了，但她却不成服气孩子是Charlie的照旧Walter的。这时候，Walter再一次进展出正直和忘我，认为孩子是谁的不首要，绝对宽待了Kitty。
Walter: A baby? You're quite certain?
Kitty: Yes.
Walter: Well, that's wonderful. How long do you think you've been like this?
Kitty: Two months. Maybe longer.
Walter: Kitty. Am I the father?
Kitty: I honestly don't know. I'm sorry.
Walter: Well. It doesn't matter now, does it?
Kitty: No. No, it doesn't .
然而就在不雅众期待着一个happy ending的时候，Walter却不幸感染了霍乱。Kitty不顾被传染的危急，一直陪伴在他身边。而Walter在临死之前对Kitty说的最后的心里话竟然是“Forgive me.”这让Kitty愈发肉痛和内疚。宽待别东说念主，救赎我方，Walter的死天然悲哀，却使影片的这一主题得以完竣。
Kitty: Are you awake? Are you feeling better?
Walter: Forgive me.
Kitty: Forgive you? There's nothing to forgive. Walter. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
影片最后，几年后的Kitty带着男儿在街头再次再见Charlie，在Charlie作出重话旧情的透露时，Kitty坚毅拒接了他，完成了对我方情感和说念德的救赎，也减轻了影片的悲催颜色。
然而演义原著的结果却与影片相背：Kitty回到伦敦后，由于受不了落寞，又回到了Charlie身边。但这么的结局实在太过荼毒，令东说念主感到恼恨。这也许是基于作者毛姆对于东说念主的恐惧人道的瞻念察。也许就像雪莱的诗句里说的：“Lift not the painted veil which those who live call life.”——“别揭开生活的面纱”，因为面纱之下就是昏暗、恐惧的东说念主类人道。
