Everything is Illuminated (2005)

為什麼會想看 Everything is Illuminated 呢?

一次在書店看到了 Jonathan Safran Foer 的 Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, 然後發現他的成名作 Everything is Illuminated 有被拍成電影. 雖然電影海報上那一大個鮮艷的 Elijah Wood 很讓人望之卻步, 終究我還是屈服在這部電影所受的如潮好評之下.

主角奇怪的癖好; 讓人忍不住對著主角吃吃笑起來, 想說”這是搞什麼啊”的文化衝擊; 烏克蘭鮮艷滿是生命力的自然風光讓戰爭的痕跡低調了下去, 卻又漫在腳邊久久不散去. 一切就在閃亮的陽光下搭配帶有東歐熱情的音樂展開.

片尾當嚮導的 Alex 說了這麼一段漂亮的話,

Everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us, on the inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. Jonathan, in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine.

也許這是全片的中心, 但為什麼一部電影不能單純地只是在說一個故事呢? :)

讓我忍受 100 分鐘的 Wood 先生, 想必一定是很好看的片喔!
(聽說電影改了很多, 又讓我想找書來看了… orz 像是Sideways 就是一次非常美好的經驗.)

配樂很好聽，電影攝影也很好，
很喜歡他們去尋找舊居的那一段公路旅行！
不過我一直覺得電影走到烏克蘭嘻哈男那邊的敘事法，
倒跟整部片有點不搭 @_@
那邊好熱鬧，完全無法跟後頭沉靜的氣氛想像在一起。
