(劇透)「廉頗老矣,尚能飯否?」與廉頗相反,《黃金花四重唱》(唱快人生;Quartet)的女主角Jean的歌唱事業高峰已過,自此封口,因為她只想停留在最光輝的時刻,不欲獻醜人前。但看老戲骨演戲,臉上皺紋都是真的,每一絲都在說故事,不像那些這邊化老妝演戲,那邊拍護膚品廣告的年輕明星。
導演德斯汀荷夫曼年過七十才首次執導,拍的就是「尚能飯否」的故事,輕輕鬆鬆,跟年過八十仍然挺直腰骨的硬漢奇連伊士活迥然不同。
場景設在一個專為退休音樂家而設的安老院裡,住有曾經風光一時的樂師、指揮和歌唱家
1. Cissy: Old age is not for sissies.
胆小鬼是过不好晚年的。
2. Dr Cogan: I don’t know how many times I told you. Smoking kills. Put those out, please.
Wilfred: Oh, for goodness sake. Give them a break. George is 78, Harry is 82. Suppose they were to stop smoking, how much longer are they going to live, a week? It would probably rain that weed, anyway.
Dr Cogan: You are a bad influence, Wilfred.
Wilfred: I think so.
3. Opera is, when a guy is stabbed in the back, instead of bleeding, he sings. But it seems to me, after much research, that rap is, when a guy is stabbed in the back, instead of bleeding, he talks, albeit rhythmically, even with feeling. But because rap is spoken, the feeling is sort of held in the check, all on one note.
In opera, we sing what we’re feeling. And the song, the rise and fall of the music, sets our emotions free.
胆小鬼不能过老年,所以我们每个人都不是胆小鬼。
结尾表现的让我吃惊,本以为会是盛大的四重唱,结果化作远方的回响。
似乎时间本身就有这样的魅力,将眼前之物变的可望不可即。
令人惊喜的是参与演出的很多老人是本色出演,回顾他们年轻时的相片,再看看影片中他们淘气俏皮的音容笑貌,便觉得变老也不那么可怕了。
做一个老不正经,讲着荤笑话,保持着自己的一些年轻时的骄傲和颓老后的固执,却也因为同伴的规劝简单的做了改变,生命都所剩无几,生活的原则便也毫无边际了。
是不是只有当人渐渐变老,才能正视自己的生活态度和感情变迁。
人处夕阳之时依旧有机会弥补当年的过错和错过的人在一起,依旧可以和当年的伙伴高歌一曲来散发余热。
我们每个人都会在几十年后被迫接受松弛的皮肤,疼痛的关节,混乱的记忆。
只希望在那时我可以也成为一个淘气俏皮的老不正经,穿讲究的衣服,带闪亮的首饰,偶尔挑剔偏执,会为一个靠窗口的位置跟同伴进行争执,但又很快忘却,一日一日拥抱着年轻时的爱走完整个生命。
四重唱:让人流连的喜剧片 意料之外的治愈电影
