这是一部非典型性伍迪艾伦。但依然是属灵的伍迪艾伦。
并没有完全看懂。想说真的太晦涩太断片儿了点吧。不过我对电影里一个片段印象很深。前面剧情都在讲伍迪扮演的名导演桑迪因自己电影事业上的困惑,还有在几个女人之间的情感选择上面犯难,突然电影画风就变了。他开始小跑在林间,追逐着一群外星人,然后双方有一段问答,这真是一个大开脑洞的片段:
Sandy: Wait a minute ,don't go, I've got some questions.
ETs:we can't breathe your air.
Sandy: Yeah, at the rate we are going we are not able to ,either. You guys gotta tell me, why is there so much human sufferings?
ETs: This is unaswerable
Sand: Is there a god?
ETs:These are the wrong questions.
Sandy:Look,Here is my point, if there is nothing last, why am I bothering to make films or do anything for that matter?
ETs: We enjoy your films, particularly the early funny ones.
Sandy:But the human condition is so discouraging
ETs:There are some nice moments,too.
Sandy:Yeah, with Doire,
ETs:That's right. And Isabelle, be honest.
Sandy:You prefer Isabelle?
ETs:There is no comparison, She is a mature woman
Sandy:A mature woman? What are you ?My rabbi?
ETs:Hey look I am a super intelligent being.By earth's standards, I have a IQ of 1600.and I can't even understand what you can expect to get from that relationship with Dorie.
Sandy: I loved her.
ETs:Yeah, I know it. two days a month she was the most exciting woman in the world, the rest of the time, she was a basket case. On the other hand Isabelle is some one you can count on.
Sandy: Should I stop making film s and do something that counts.Like helping blind people and becoming a missionary or something?
ETs: Let me tell you, you are not the missionary type, you never last. and it's not that you are the super man, you are a comedian, you wanna do real mankind service? Tell funnier jokes.
Sandy: Yeah, but I gotta find meaning.

这是全片我最喜欢的一个片段。把真实的伍迪艾伦内心的纠结苦闷啥的说的很直接。唉,知识分子总能在他的电影里看到哲学命题。Is there a God?上来就用永恒把人问倒。
说起来,伍迪艾伦,这个现存的世界上最有魅力的让无数女性倾心,美人如米娅法罗斯嘉丽约翰逊,才女如戴安基顿娜塔莉波曼的老头,他真是没法让人搞懂的啊。我原以为才子不是爱美女就是爱才女,或者都要。但是他和他养女宋宜的爱情和婚姻却真让我长了见识。原来这就是怪才吧。
这部片子怎么看都有些像是老爷子的自传。不过他忙着自己的事儿的同时,还不忘替人类操心下。可我们人类就是这样的啊,永远有用不完的爱和恨,我们不断想要挣脱自己的格局,现实却告诉我们恪守本分,do you job。所以这就是伍迪老头电影材料的来源。他就是喜欢搞这种人类一思考上帝就发笑的戏码。 按照中国哲学思想的话,伍迪肯定是信道家学说吧,因为在他其他的电影里,你也眼见他没完没了的追问爱恨、生死的缘由边界,存在的意义之类,比如在《曼哈顿》里就信誓旦旦的说,“Because nothing worth knowing can be understood with the mind..Everything really valuable has to enter you through a different opening.If you'll forgive the disgusting imagery."。这几句也是看了这么多伍迪艾伦电影里最喜欢的台词之一了。很好奇他读没读过我们中国老子庄子苏轼呢。
摘录的这个小片段本来是讨论严肃话题,但伍迪就是伍迪,谢谢老天他总有办法让语境不那么沉重,你还是能感受到他的幽默以及浪漫(对话完后,美妙的爵士乐moonlight serenade响起)
你不仅能从此片看到伍迪作为一个艺术大师对自己的电影人生的拷问反思, 还会不禁回忆起自己的人生种种,好似星辰坠向大海,被放逐的心该往哪里去?
