觀 Virgin Suicides 有感

Virgin Suicides 死亡日記 (是這樣翻的嗎?) 以黑色喜劇的形式來探討嚴肅的家庭問題青少年問題,當然還有女孩謎般的心理問題。

當最小的女孩第一次自殺未逐在醫院裡休養時,裡面一段有名的對白如是說:
Doctor: What are you doing here, honey?
You're not even old enough to know how bad life gets.
Cecilia: Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl.

當然這裡的題外話是男女地位的問題。電影裡未成年的小男生們把那些未成年的小女生看得比神還崇高…難道婚姻真的是兩性權力的轉捩點嗎? 這種佔-有-後-就-不-值-得-尊-重的情況在台灣的民法裡很清楚地看出,基本上女人在婚後就沒有屬於自己的東西了… 不過,台灣女性至少還可以有限制地保留自己的姓,不明白為何女權高漲如歐美的地區,婚後婦女卻得冠上夫姓???

Air-Playground Love

法國樂團Air的音樂把那種迷惘苦悶帶一點淡淡憂愁的感覺加倍升級,而它的音樂錄影帶把旁人視為噁心愛侶視為親蜜的行為發揮得淋漓盡致,甚至可以拿來當口香糖的廣告了。

I'm a high school lover, and you're my favorite flavor
Love is all, all my soul
You're my playground love

Yet my hands are shaking
I feel my body reeling
Time's no matter, I'm on fire
On the playground love

You're the piece of gold
That flashes on my soul
Extra time, on the ground
You're my playground love

Anytime, anywhere,
You're my playground love
