The Sea Inside 如我所愿拿到了今年的奥斯卡最佳外语片奖。从圣诞节前在国家邮报上看到介绍后,就一直等着它在渥太华公映,等到二月初一个偶然的机会才知道只有Bytowne放映,我赶到了最后一场。

看之前想到是讲安乐死,加上这部影片和妮可基得曼主演的The Others是同一个导演,我预想中这会是一部很沉重阴郁的影片,没想到将近两个小时的时间里,电影院里几乎笑声不断。虽然高位截瘫近三十年,男主人公若蒙却用他对待生活的乐观态度感动了他身边所有的人,面临失业的单身母亲,身患绝症的美丽女律师和为他寻求安乐死而奔走呼吁的社工。笑声中导演也很成功的向观众传递了他们所支持的生命观:没有尊严的生命是没有意义的。这种尊严不是常人所以为的在完全依赖别人照顾生活起居中所失去的尊严,而是一个人失去了爱他所想爱的人的能力的同时失去的尊严。象若蒙所说,看到心爱的女人近在咫尺,却不能伸出哪怕一根手指去抚摸她,这样的生活过了三十年之后,他认为可以结束了。可是在他活着的每一天里,他却从未把自己的残疾当作给别人心理折磨的借口。女律师朱丽亚在帮他诉讼的过程中爱上了他,夜里在相邻的两个房间里,两个为不可及的爱情而失眠的人并没有用眼泪和哀伤来表达情绪,而是这样的幽默的对话:
若蒙(压低声音):朱丽亚,你睡着了吗?
朱丽亚:没有,你呢?
若蒙:我也睡不着。。。
朱丽亚:为什么?
若蒙:我的腿很痒,你能帮我挠挠吗?
看到这里电影院里又响起了笑声。若蒙从来不介意别人谈到自己的残疾,也常常为此而开玩笑。对他而言,残疾并不可怕,可是爱而不得其所却绝不能忍受。

这部影片的人物原型在西班牙,影片也是在西班牙拍摄的,画面非常温暖柔和而且常常以绿色做基调,显得生机勃勃。当我从影院里走出来的时候,并没有觉得生命的沉重,或是脆弱,或是倏忽即逝的感伤,站在渥太华隆冬午夜的街头,我心里在想:生命真的很美好。

一定要找来看看.谢谢推荐.感觉像"life is beautiful".
 
I have not seen this movie yet, still waiting for it on Vu. However Amenabar has first caught my eyes when he directed Open Your Eyes, then later with his version of the Vanilla Sky, both good movies, not excellent, but good, worth the movie tickets. The Others was a little bit disappointing for me, only one little twist at the end, fallen short behind The Sixth Sense.

He reminds me a LOT of Stanley Kubrick though.
 
Oh BTW, have you watched the Les Invasions Barbares (The Barbarian Invasions) by Denys Arcand? It was also about an old man dying, with sophisticated and smart dialogues and superbe acting.

I didn't see this one. The trailer looks good. I've got to rent it some day to take a look. I agree with you on The Others. I didn't feel quite comfortable when I watched it a few years ago.
