相思成灾2006

Maybe love is a decision, stop trying to cast you true love.and put all that fantacies in to you work of fiction
这几句话是留给我印象最深的几句,的确,很多人相信爱情,而这部电影从某种程度上给了那些一直把真正的爱情放在幻想中的人一个启示: to give yourself a chance to love somebody, to give somebody a chance to love you, Maybe your true love is there^_^

很喜欢，很喜欢。
 
 
有以下几个喜欢的原因：
 
 
1、《蒂凡尼早餐》。
女主角浓黑的睫毛膏和眼角边飞翘的粗黑眼线，神似那时的赫本。还有很多套时装，也颇似《早餐》里赫本的风格。适时响起的《Moon River》，勾引着回忆。
 
 
2、傻大姐。
爱情喜剧电影里常有的几个傻大姐，我都很喜欢。梅格瑞恩，茱莉亚罗伯茨，灵动的眼神，冲冲撞撞不管不顾的个性，神神叨叨不经意冒出两句有头脑的话，没那么典雅，多几分亲近。现实的感情或是不如人意，或是苦大仇深，或是钱来物去，或是人情世故，太苦太累太心酸。转了一圈，除了恐怖片什么的考究了一遍，还是十多年前的嗜好，爱情喜剧和傻大姐。
 
 
3、探戈。
很多老套的桥段自从被发明出来就被电影一用再用，最典型的就是探戈。印象最深的，一是《真实谎言》里的阿诺，一是《闻香识女人》的阿尔帕西诺。性感撩人的探戈，明显是要有些阅历的男人带舞才好看，那是骨子里的性感。不过这里布兰妮墨菲还是不错的，超级棒的身材跳起来有点风情。
 
 
4、后现代版配角。
配角都很经典，完全后现代版，语不惊人死不休的那种。有思想有企望，也同样在俗男俗女的感情世界里忙忙叨叨，真实又可爱。其实骨子里谁不想这样真实呢，些微的神经质，因为一些莫名的感情问题骚扰老友。谁知道是真的感情生变，还仅仅只是情绪需要发泄。
 
 
5、同性恋室友。
大约每个女孩对女主的Gay男友兼室友一定都是又羡慕又嫉妒，可以脱光光在他面前晃，可以洗澡的时候进行最有意义的谈话，可以陪你歪在沙发上看老爱情片，可以边停你唠叨边掰过脚来帮你脱高跟鞋……《Sex and the sity》里面的Carrie也有她的Stanley，可以跨着他的胳膊逛街聊天。
 
 
6、白日梦。
有一个让我眼前一亮的创意，就是插曲一样的白日梦。特别是剧作家Peter，演得跟真的似的，突然被人叫醒，才知道刚才只不过是他的白日梦。谁没有过白日梦，一见钟情的幻想，一起生活的幻想，恐惧情形的幻想，这幻想完全是突发性的又不受控制地，未必全是好的东西。也可理解为走神，可“神”的确走得很远。自己就常常这样，所以一遍一遍看到，难免会心一笑。
 
 
7、幽默。
困倦的脑袋有点钝了，记不得当时为什么笑了，只记得大晚上的，我一个人在屋子里不时大笑。英国人的幽默跟美国人的搞笑有区别的，美国人有点耍宝的感觉，英国人是一本正经冷笑话。再加上那种字正腔圆的伦敦音，无厘头的表情，无语了。
 
 
8、深刻。
有些台词，一瞬间点醒了我。现在只记得一个：Maybe true love is a decision, a decision to take a chance with somebody. Maybe love isn’t something that happens to you. Maybe it’s something you have to choose.
再有，同性恋Peter对一见钟情的执着，对爱情幻想在现实中破灭的接受，从幻想走向现实给自己和他人机会。通过同性恋写所有的爱情，又是导演的高明之处，温情而不教条。
 
  
不要装深沉，我不要装深沉，就要这样一些傻傻的片子，傻傻的笑，傻傻的骗人的真善美，来一些轻快，来一些希望。
 

尽管马修瑞斯在相思成灾里是记者彼得，穿便衣的时间多过正装，我还是偏执地认为他叫做凯文，就是那个在美剧BAS里，情感上怕受到伤害、躲在安全地带的律师凯文沃克。

这部片子，用电影末尾彼得回复戴维的话说，就是在讲一个人发现自己一直在错误的地方寻找爱情的故事。

这样的故事不值得也不会有翻看第二遍的欲望，重新翻出来，起初，不过是为了希望能在马修出场的第一个镜头里，透过洗澡间的玻璃、或者瓷砖的倒影中，偷窥到哪怕一丁点儿的马修的漏点。可惜任何角度的反射都无可挑剔，该遮着的地方一丝不露。那场1分钟不到的戏反复了足有6遍，马修背部的皮肤光滑细腻，坐在电脑前都有伸出咸猪手的冲动。这个问题上，我多么羡慕跟他同居十年的Ioan Gruffudd。

不管是在BAS还是相思成灾里，爱情都是凯文和彼得的生命线。

BAS。凯文经过第一季与Scotty反反复复的恋情，第二季初与牧师杰森的远距离马拉松之后，终于在第三季（实际上是第二季结局）与Scotty交换了婚戒。凯文是个个性敏感，过分保护自己的人。在爱情中，他的理想主义反而让自己对爱情望而却步。他怕在爱情里投入太多太多的感情而得不到对方的回应，他需要感受对方持续不断的热情反馈，一旦这股光源变得虚弱，他就手足无措。凯文期待完整的二人世界。第一不算约会的约会因为老妈的缘故推掉，凯文在影院门口看到Scotty与另一个男生一同出现，他生闷气。而那个时候他与Scotty只不过是才认识不久的、律师与证人。相对于整个家族，凯文的情况并不算糟糕。他有一个控制欲很强同时也很孤独的老妈。有一个与下属发生性关系的哥哥。有一个家庭事业一团糟的姐姐。有一个嗑药的弟弟。还有一个保守派但感情混乱的妹妹。

喜欢马修大抵也是因为他对凯文的刻画，对GAY与生俱来的敏感、怕受伤以及被动的感情观的十足把握。

查看马修的IMDB会发现他扮演过很多GAY的角色。咳咳，鉴于他与Ioan Gruffudd是青梅竹马的至交，再加上将近十年的同居生活，虽然口口声声辩解与Ioan只是好朋友，但这也足够让人YY出十万字的BL文：

一个是缺乏安全感的威尔士小男人，另一个是来自神奇四侠里的橡胶人。光想一想都让人热血喷张。

回过头来讲相思成灾里彼得的故事。彼得在饭店大堂遇见戴维，一见钟情的开始。接着一直没露面的戴维收到来自四面八方的彼得朋友的说媒。见面时彼得发现一见钟情的对象并非戴维而是其助手某某（龙套演员懒得记名字，何况丫也不讨喜）。失而复得的彼得与助手某某烛光晚餐，一夜过后他发现这个某某，既放屁打呼，又滔滔不绝地自我陶醉。一点也没有头脑里构筑的甜蜜爱情模样。于是应验了放屁爱情理论的第三阶段，屁的分歧点。

非得说它告诉了人们一个什么道理的话，大抵只能用“也许爱情并非一道闪电，也许爱情只是一个选择”来搪塞。因为后来彼得和戴维一道出了地铁站，相约去吃意大利菜了。

其实不管是不是在生活中，相遇相爱和一见钟情都是难得的事情。你在饭堂上与长相帅气的男孩对视，可能只不过是因为他刚好高出你一个头，视线停留在你一米之外的那个热辣女生的胸部上。可能你像凯文一样守护着自己的处女地保护自己不受伤害，却不会因此有哪个剧场愿意出借一名王子来解开你的自我囚禁。

爱情究竟是不是仅仅只是音乐、电影、戏剧、出版社提出的一个概念供人膜拜信仰，不得而知。也没有人会去深究计较。

毕竟在生活里，体验一把一见钟情的快感、哪怕只是一个选择的机会，就好像期待明天的股市一路飘红一样。





名词解释：

彼得：马修在《相思成灾》饰演的角色名。GAY一名。目测判断为受。
凯文：马修在《BAS》饰演的角色名。GAY一名。无法目测判断其攻受。因为伴侣Scotty有点“恐怖”，用凯文的原话说。
BAS：美剧brothers&sisters
Ioan Gruffudd：马修的多年至交。在神奇四侠里饰演橡胶人。

Maybe true love is a decision, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody without worrying whether they’ll give anything back or if they’re gonna hurt you or if they really are the one.Maybe love isn’t something that happens to you. Maybe it’s something you have to choose.We should find out that true love is an event, not a process.

我想着一袭长裙, 穿着十寸的高跟鞋,在洒满阳光的午后街道上, 和英武的男友接吻,拥抱
我想着一套性感的内衣,黑色,蕾丝且透明, 在雪白的大床上,伴着月光 和身材结实的男友上演午夜后的热闹,
我想要完美的爱情,白天,晚上,视觉,触觉...

完美的爱情. 应该来源于一见钟情吧, 似乎一直的等待 就是为了这一瞬间的出现, 然后, 那么自信的相信,从此以后,童话就变成了现实.

而在那决定乾坤的照面之前呢;
在光鲜,高贵的生活背后, 有太多的,都是空虚绝望的寻找
你挑剔着A的身材,你鄙夷着B的外貌, 你不喜欢C是因为他不能合拍于你那高贵的审美情趣
你显得是那么的无所畏惧,甚至是在享受着单身的愉悦
而每一天晚上
你在做什么呢?
也许,只是在寻找着短暂的高潮
太多空虚的灵魂在网络的世界中冲荡,肆意的释放着孤独中的绝望,却不肯委曲求全,放下自己的准则,去爱一个值得爱的人...

为什么爱?
因为身材
因为眼睛
因为气味
因为富有
或者 是因为缘分 注定要在一起


因为太固执于所谓的原则,所以 我们不肯去爱,因为太习惯了单身的日子,所以我们再也无法去爱
一直坚信着的准则,会否有错呢?

我说,坚持没有错误, 唯一需要确定的,
就是 自己坚持的, 不仅仅是一个想像中的偶像,
或者说, 我们真的该尽早等到想象破灭的那天,
从此, 才可以真正的脚踏实地的生活.

你可以是水仙
沉迷于自己水中的倒影,直到雪白的花瓣枯萎的那天,
也可以是茉莉
没有张扬的浓郁,确有着百转千回的芳香.

电影里面, 有一切的可能
会有金发的美女,和貌美的西班牙王子,并且永远有机会弥补自己的错误,遇到下一个生命中的唯一;
生活中的我
也许已经人老珠黄了.

共勉吧

我完全记不清自己看了多少遍了,总之就是很多很多很多遍,特别是下雨天.
这台词经典的 不整理下来我都觉得对不起这片子

James: Almost noon.
Jacks: I'm afraid you've got to go.
James: Excuse me?
Jacks: You've got to go. I have friends coming over for brunch.
James: What? In my apartment?
Jacks: Sorry.
James: 3 years and you still treat me like a one-night stand!

Jacks: You're never going to find anyone with that attitude.
Peter: What attitude? I'm just being realistic.
Jacks: If you're realistic, then I'm the Queen of England.
Peter: Hey! I'm the Queen of England!
Jacks: Hello, your Majesty!

Peter: He's in love with you, Jacks. You're not in love with him. It doesn't get more simple than that.
Jacks: That's not fair! I happen to care about James. A lot. And I hate the fact that he feels more than me. And I hate the fact that I'm not in love with him. Because I know I should be. Because he's smart and sweet and decent and I don't want to hurt him. So I keep hoping that I'll grow into it. That maybe one day I'll wake up and I'll feel...
Peter: What?
Jacks: In love! You know, dizzy and feverish and nauseous...
Peter: That's not love, Jacks. That's the flu.

Peter: Talullah! What's wrong?
Taulullah: Freedom's having an affair.
Peter: An affair? You've only been going out for 2 weeks!
Taulullah:Who's he having an affair with?
Peter: Me, I just found out he's married.

Klaus: So, you're Felicity's daughter?
Taulullah: Only by birth. So don't hold it against me.
Wentworth: Donatella! Excuse me.
Taulullah: Whoever designed those heels must really hate women.
Klaus: I designed those heels.
Taulullah: And thank goodness you did! Otherwise Mother's arse would be dusting the floor.

Taulluah: Oh, Peter, I feel so bad.
Peter: Come on, drink this.
Taulluah: No, I mean about you. Not getting to meet Robbie Williams(David Williams) because of me.
Peter: It's OK.

Peter: Have you ever thought this whole 'true love' thing might be a conspiracy?
Jacks: A conspiracy?
Peter: Yeah, a capitalist conspiracy. A lie concocted by the Film, Publishing and Music industries. All pushing this thing, this concept that doesn't even exist!
Jacks: True love doesn't exist?
Peter: Well, think about it. Where is it besides songs, books and films? I mean, who can honestly say 'I will always love you? '
Jacks: Whitney Houston?
Peter: Yeah, when she's high on crack. The point is, Everyone's miserable because they're looking for this nonexistent 'thing' or else they're miserable because they think they've settled for less.
Jacks: I'm not miserable. And I believe in true love.
Peter: Yeah, which is why you're still sleeping with your ex-boyfriend.

Shrink: And how long did that last?
Peter: What?
Shrink: The relationship in your head.
Peter: No. I mean, it's an ongoing problem. They only last in my head. For varying amounts of time.
Shrink: So you have a problem with monogamy?
Peter: No, no that. No, that's not my problem.
Shrink: Denial is not a river in Egypt! Not a river in Egypt. D'you see what I did there? Just that's a little therapist joke. Doesn't always work. OK, right. Paul?
Peter: Peter.
Shrink: Sorry?
Peter: Peter.
Shrink: Peter. Peter. Yes, it is. You're absolutely right. Peter. That's a good start. Well done you! I think I can help you.
Peter: You do?
Shrink: I do. I think you are stuck in that pre relationship moment of infatuation and you need to be reminded that a real relationship has many, many, many more stages.
Peter: Stages. I like that.
Shrink: Relationships are best measured by farting.
Peter: Excuse me?
Shrink:The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stage 1 is the conspiracy of silence. This is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy 'ooh did you fart? ' followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy. A period I like to call the 'fart honeymoon'. Where both parties find each other's gas just the cutest thing in the world. But of course no honeymoon can last forever. And so we reach the critical fork in the fart. Either the fart loses its power to amuse and embarrass, thereby signifying true love or else, it begins to annoy and disgust. Thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formerly beloved. Do you see what I'm getting at? Peter? Peter?

Paolo: So tell me your secret.
Jacks: What secret?
Paolo: How an American can speak like a Spaniard and dance like an Argentinean.
Jacks: I'm not American.
Paolo: No?
Jacks: Well, not technically. I was born in England. My Father was English. My Mother was Spanish. I grew up with my Mother's family in America. After my parents died.
Paolo: How old were you when you moved to America?
Jacks: Five.
Paolo: I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry.
Jacks: It's not that. It's just I don't want to be one of those awful characters out of a movie that gushes out their past while the violins play. I mean I had a bad age five. I had a terrible age five, actually. But all in all, since then, my life's been pretty blessed.

Paolo: Are you OK here?
Peter: Oh my God! Oh God!
Paolo: You don't! I... I'm so sorry!
Peter:I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry. I was just... I'm really embarrassed.
Paolo: No, no, no, listen, Peter. I really like you a lot, but...
Peter: But you don't like me in that way. Look, I know that speech. I use that speech because I actually wrote that speech...
Paolo: I'm not gay.
Peter: I didn't write that part!
Paolo: I'm straight.
Peter: Since when?
Paolo: I suppose I first noticed when I was around 8. I thought it was just a phase, you know, but eventually I had to accept the truth. I like women.

Wentworth: Well, he's good enough!
Jacks: Oh no! No, he's not good enough! Because, that man right there, the real David Williams actually exists! The real David Williams happens to be a living, breathing, on-the-market gay man!

Peter: I'm quite relieved, to be honest. At least it's over and done with. You OK?
Jacks: I'm fine. I was just up most of the night thinking...
Peter: About?
Jacks: Oh, love and other disasters.

Finlay: Are you OK?
Peter: That's him.
Finlay: Who?
Peter: That's the guy I bumped into at the Hotel!
Finlay: What?
Peter: Sorry. Excuse me, I just need to use the loo, actually. Finlay?
Finlay: Right! I'll just... Give you a hand!
Peter: I can't believe you said 'I'll give you a hand!'

Peter: Tom. Tom! It's time to get up.
Tom: What time is it?
Peter: Almost 9.
Tom: You gotta go.
Peter: Excuse me?
Tom: You gotta go. I've got some friends coming over for brunch.
Peter: Tom, you're in my apartment.

Peter:Because that way you know you can't really get hurt. Look, Paolo hasn't changed. He's still the same person. He's still the same person you know and believe in. And think is kind and smart and sweet and bloody sexy. The only thing that's changed is what might happen between you. And he can tango!

Jacks: An early departure? An early departure? What are the chances of that? If this was a movie, there wouldn't be an early departure.
Peter: If this was a movie, you'd be blonde!
Jacks: If this was a movie, you'd be famous!
Peter: That's the problem with life, it's nothing like the movies.

Jacks: Stop trying to cast your true love instead ofjust meeting him.
Peter: When I meet him, I'll know.
Jacks: I'm not so sure. Love isn't always a lightning bolt, you know? Maybe sometimes it's just a choice. Well, that's easy for you to say!
Peter: You're flying to Argentina to meet the love of your life!
Jacks: That's just it. I don't know that Paolo's the love of my life' but I've decided to give him the chance to be. Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying whether they'll give anything back. Or if they're gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn't something that happens to you. Maybe it's something you have to choose.

Berstein: 'Love and Other Disasters.' Nice title. Catchy. But it'll never fit on the marquee. How aboutjust 'Love Disasters? '
Peter: What?
Berstein: Oh...I love that Jacks. She's got that British quirkiness audiences love. 'Hello, Babies! '
Peter: Yes, but technically she speaks with an American accent because she's grown up in America so...
Berstein: Nah, it's too complicated. Let's make her English. Perfect part for Gwyneth!
Peter: Gwyneth Paltrow?
Berstein: Finest English actress of her generation! Brainstorm! Orlando Bloom as the Mexican.
Peter: Paolo's Argentinean!
Berstein: And we'll cover the American angle with Drew and Cameron.
Peter: Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz? As who?
Berstein: Playing David and Tom.
Peter: I'm sorry, you want me to get rid of the gay story line?
Berstein: I don't want you to get rid of anything! I'm just saying instead of David and Tom, we have Daisy and Tina.
Peter: I...
Berstein: Also, you gotta fiddle with that ending. We need a bigger movie moment when Jacks finally connects with Paolo.
Peter: Yes, but... Sorry, the whole point is there is no big movie moment because they both discover that true love is a process not an event.
Berstein: You know, Peter. I get it. This script is like your baby, isn't it?
Peter: Well, yes, I suppose it is...
Berstein: I understand that. Believe me, I understand that. Come here. I want to give you some advice! You gotta kill your baby! You gotta fuckin' kill your baby!
Peter: Right. Thank you. Thank you.

Peter: It's just... I don't know. I just wanted to tell the truth and somewhere along the line it got mixed up with a bunch of lies.
Jacks: Nobody goes to the movies for truth except possibly the French!
Peter: The truth is way too complicated. And unsatisfying. And hard to believe.

反正不是也经常有人找关键台词么..~~

My favorite line,

"Love isn't always a lightning bolt. Maybe sometimes it's just a choice. Maybe true love is a decision, a decision to take a choice with somebody. To give somebody without worrying whether they'll give anything back or if they're gonna hurt you or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn't something that happens to you. Maybe it's something you have to choose."

最近看了太多现实的电影，却很喜欢。Two Lovers，500 Days of Summer。
我们不再年幼，不应该再相信命中注定的人一定会出现这件事情。There's nothing in world called fate. 你觉得匆匆把某些人放过不要紧，因为he's not the one. But what if he is? What if the one has already showed up in your life and you haven't even given him a chance?
我们爱一些人，却和另一些人共度余生；我们相信自己已经遇到了谁，却没想到这个谁会转身离开，遇见他的the one.

Sometimes a serious relationship is far beyond us. Maybe just a random one can light the life up and totally change it! So please don't stuck in the middle of your life even if it's already a shit...
