Before Sunset

下午无事,于是拉上窗帘戴上耳机,找出昨天梁敬丰昨晚传给我的片子来看。

早先知道这个被译作“爱在日落余晖时”的《Before Sunset》是9年前《Before Sunrise》的续作,遗憾的是后者一直没有机会看过,不过好在“Before Sunset”一开始就用简洁的镜头切换作了介绍。说得是一个美国年轻人Jesse和一个法国女孩Celine在火车上的邂逅,彼此一见钟情,一起在维也纳度过了浪漫的14个小时,出于种种不得已而在太阳升起之前分离,相约6个月之后如果还没有忘记对方,就在维也纳分手的火车站台再见...

时光荏苒,Before Sunset开始的时候已经是9年之后。已经结婚并且有了孩子Jesse是成了一个作家,他把他和Celine的故事写成小说, 到巴黎来签名售书,却在无意转头之间,站在人群外的是9年前他为之疯狂却爽了约的Celine。他只有落日前的短短几个小时和她在一起. 整部电影就是Jesse和Celine之间的对话,场景变换,在巴黎大街小巷穿行,在塞纳河上泛舟。没有其他任何人出现,只是这两个曾经错过的人还能找回那让他们迷失自己的一夜情深吗?

他们小心翼翼的互相试探,说些不关风月的话题,他们互相开着玩笑,谈他们生命中的其他人,惟独不谈自己,不谈失去的9年,可是慢慢的,他们开始敞开心扉, Jesse终于承认他写了他们之间的故事就是希望如果Celine可以看到,可以再见一面,可以终于问她, 为什么爽约,为什么? Celine当年因为奶奶的葬礼未能赴约,可是他和她都一样从来没有忘记过彼此之间的约定。年轻的时候总以为你一生可以碰到很多可以联系的人,可是9年之后,他们念念不忘的仍然是那一天的浪漫和那刻骨铭心的激情,原来可以从心灵上沟通的只是那一个人而已。

落日余晖下,两人神情相望,Jesse头发短了、胡子刮了、脸上有了皱纹,维也纳之夜的那个妙语连珠、玩世不恭的青春浪子如今却被家庭、孩子、妻子、事业等这些人生课题一一缠绕;Celine也不再青春袭人,而当她最后在车上叙述着自己一直不顺利的情感经历时,我的心也陪着她一起地低回。

影片最后,Celine在家中为Jesse轻轻的弹了一曲自己谱写的曲子A Waltz For A Night,婉转的吉他音和深情的唱词,娓娓诉说着对过往的无限思念。曲尽,Jesse在CD机里放起Celine最喜欢的那位逝去女歌手的歌,慵懒的歌声中Celine轻轻摇弋着,似乎深深陷入了回忆...

岁月、青春、曾经的爱情、人生的无奈,失落和感伤在Celine美丽的清唱中慢慢袭来...

当他们紧紧拥抱时,我才知道原来自己和他们一样,是对过去如此的眷念。


Before Sunset (2004)

Julie Delpy - A Waltz For A Night

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my thoughts
Let me sing you a waltz
About this one night stand

You were for me that night
Everything I always dreamt of in life
But now you're gone
You are far gone
All the way to your island of rain

It was for you just a one night thing
But you were much more to me
Just so you know

I hear rumors about you
About all the bad things you do
But when we were together alone
You didn't seem like a player at all

I don't care what they say
I know what you meant for me that day
I just wanted another try
I just wanted another night
Even if it doesn't seem quite right
You meant for me much more
Than anyone I've met before

One single night with you little Jesse
Is worth a thousand with anybody

I have no bitterness, my sweet
I'll never forget this one night thing
Even tomorrow, another arms
My heart will stay yours until I die

Let me sing you a waltz
Out of nowhere, out of my blues
Let me sing you a waltz
About this lovely one night stand
