說實話,文藝片沒看懂,跟《布達佩斯大飯店》一樣,沒有跌宕起伏的劇情,隻有無限遐想的留白。


奧蘭多從一開始的身為一名男性,從背叛開始“the treachery of men”,到失敗的愛情“the treachery of women”,轉而投身到精神追求中,我覺得是受到嘲諷吧——之後轉身投入事業中。

可以看到一個男性,包括在現在社會也是,的大緻曆程是這樣的。

後面他性格轉變,由男性變成女性後,社會對女性的惡意逐漸凸顯:大肆談論女性的詩人卻不懂尊重女性,反而在為自己的行為狡辯;女人不能擁有财産隻能擁有“使用權”;女人必須要依附一個男人,必須要有兒子才能保留下自己的财産…這是奧蘭多身為一個男性的時候根本沒有過的體驗。

愛情部分就不說了,不懂——到底是男人深情邀請她遠走高飛,還是女人絕情拒絕他;到底是女人深情請男人留下來跟她生孩子,還是男人拿追求自由當謊言要逃離?

Anyway,我也不是很清楚。我隻是很佩服她能夠平靜且微笑地送他離去——反正我做不到,我隻覺得如果我能活200年我也應該行。


後來,她穿越了過去現在,抵達了未來。帶着她的孩子,一個女孩兒,回到了一百年前她曾失去的家。最後的時候,坐在樹下的奧蘭多哭了——我也不知道她為什麼哭,也許是平靜回顧了這400年的人生,那些好的不好的,都已經是過去了:放下過去,就會迎來新生。

女兒問她,你為什麼這麼悲傷?如同400年前薩沙問他的問題一緻,隻不過那個時候的他,沒有安全感,總覺得幸福會結束、提前為無法永存的幸福悲傷;而這一次,她說,這不是悲傷,是開心的。她指了指天空,讓女兒看到了在天空中飛舞的天使,他是這麼唱的:

I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you
In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstacy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man
We are joined, we are one
With the human face
We are joined, we are one
With the human face
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying
I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you
In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstacy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free!
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man
Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face
Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face
At last I am free!
At last I am free!
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born and I am dying
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I'm being born, I am dying
At last I am free!
At last I am free!!!
Yes at last, at last, at last I'm free!
Yes at last, at last, at last I'm free!

沒太懂,也許是還沒到那個心境;

不想懂,因為懂了就會不一樣了。
