The Kids Are All Right

這電影說的是:家家有本難念的經。不論你的背景、收入、地位,甚至家庭結構如何,都逃不過這點。

更最重要的是,當面對難題困境時,處事的心態。
The Kids Are All Right


就如當劇中的Annette Bening飾演的Nic發現她的伴侶Jules(Julianne Moore)与男性出軌時,後者豈圖為她的背叛行為作出解釋。Nic反詰,『I don't work out my issues by fucking other people!』

心態,才是重點。

這是我為什么選這部電影來囉嗦說事的原因,雖然我每週會至少看上兩三部的電影。

劇中的Nic讓我想起很多,比如,她的奮鬥目標,比如她的堅持不懈,比如她嚴肅謹慎生活的由衷....這一切,都很讓人衰老,心靈和外表都容易老化。相比之下,Jules看起來比Nic從容多了,然她卻無法滿足於現狀。於是,她出軌了。


換個角度,換個場景,那也能是我們的生活。就如Jules在向她家人請求寬恕時那一段對白:
“Your mom and I are in hell right now and the bottom line is marriage is hard. It’s really fucking hard. It’s just two people slogging through the shit, year after year, getting older, changing - It's a fucking marathon, OK?

So sometimes you know you’re together so long you stop seeing the other person, you just see weird projections of your own junk. Instead of talking to each other, you go off the rails and act grubby and make stupid choices
which is what I did. And I feel sick about it because I love you guys, and your mom, and that’s the truth. And sometimes you hurt the ones you love the most and I don’t know why. You know if I read more Russian novels… Anyway…I just wanted to say how sorry I am for what I did. I hope you’ll forgive me eventually. Thank you.”

豈只是婚姻,生活和工作也是一樣。It is so damn hard.

我只希望,在面對難題時,我能像Nic那樣堅持不懈,一直保持良好的心態,但,要比她從容。



p.s. 總的來說這是一部很有水準很值得看的一部電影,兩個女戲骨都拼出火花。Julianne Moore依然迷人依然出色,Annette Bening更是讓人驚喜。
