【心得】《Your Name Engraved Herein/刻在你心底的名字》電影心得

/有雷/


推薦★★★★☆

「河水的流逝並不意味著萬物因變化無窮而難以再現,而是有些事物通過變化及流動成為永恆。」-奧利佛,《以你的名字呼喚我》

校園泳池的初次相遇、情感爆發的淋浴間、相互和解的漲潮海灘、短暫重逢的下雨天、是終點也是起點的瀑布,《刻在你心底的名字》充滿水元素的場景,讓我想起蔡明亮導演作品中,「水」的象徵與暗喻,也想起《以你的名字呼喚我》電影中奧利佛在赫拉克利特《宇宙的碎片》中留下的註解。時間使我們不得不改變,但不變的是深刻在心底的名字。

連假第一天,心血來潮選了早場觀影,雖然早就買了電影小說,但也只隨手翻了幾頁,沒看電影劇情大綱,也完全不知道到底故事會是如何走向。後來才知道這樣最好,在第一刷的時候,真的感動到浪費好多衛生紙。

《刻在你心底的名字》採用倒敘結合插敘的敘事手法,從阿漢和歐神父「告解」的過程中,一步步帶領我們進入阿漢的內心世界,以阿漢的視野帶入更多共感,從困惑、認知、愛戀、嫉妒到憤怒,並結合阿漢在告解中的坦白,令人心痛不已。

最喜歡的臺詞也是哭點:「我常常以為世界是繞著我們轉的,怎麼我突然變成了別人呢?」、「我敢說出我喜歡誰,你敢不敢?」

一刷的當天傍晚和朋友臨時起意二刷(朋友是一刷),朋友討論了幾個劇情,我的理解如下:

阿漢以為Birdy的氣球告白是給班班,嫉妒、心碎與憤怒在阿漢心中瘋狂燃燒。因為當時的他不明白,那是Birdy回應阿漢叩機留言的「晚安(WAN-AN)」,只有兩個人懂得,怎麼轉送給他人?30年後相遇也印證「晚安」是兩人的暗語。而且早在樓梯間討論世界人口數時,Birdy已經向阿漢告白「反正我們兩個也不能生小孩」。

在淋浴間Birdy的「對不起」是什麼意思?絕對不是「對不起,我不喜歡你」。從兩人壓抑情緒到面對彼此真實情感,Birdy的對不起更像是「對不起,我不應該這樣對你」、「對不起,我喜歡你,但我們只能這樣」、「對不起,我們不能繼續下去」。

為什麼Birdy選擇和班班交往並疏遠阿漢?因為「你以為這個世界改變了,其實根本沒有變!」,《刻在你心底的名字》的背景是在解嚴後,在這樣的時空下Birdy只是做出多數以為“正確”的選擇,而且即便是對於LGBT友善的2020年,還是有許多人在這樣的痛苦及掙扎之中。

班班一直都知道Birdy和阿漢相互愛戀,30年後阿漢與班班見面時,班班說「喜歡一個男生,是與生俱來的」。當時的她可能以為自己可以改變Birdy,或是久了就愛,但到頭來受苦的是她自己。

阿漢媽媽從看到兒子和Birdy在床上的睡姿就知道兩人的感情不同一般,一直默默守護在兒子身邊。阿漢和Birdy在家中拉扯吵架時說出「我敢說出我喜歡誰,你敢不敢?」,媽媽心疼的眼淚就這樣落下,所謂母子連心,她不想讓兒子承受這樣的苦楚。

「時間讓我們變得多愁善感,或許到頭來,令我們受苦的是時間」-André Aciman,《以你的名字呼喚我》

不是不愛,是只能愛在心底。阿漢很苦,Birdy更苦。

回頭到推薦★★★★☆,不能給滿星的原因:30年後的選角太令人出戲。長大後的阿漢怎麼可以那麼滄桑,再次面對Birdy的反應…我不知道該說什麼😅,還有長大後班班的瀏海😅。

雖然不重要,大巴應該是同志吧,所謂恐同即深櫃,30年後的他應該出櫃了吧?(←沒人在乎)

But I've also noticed a rising anxiety - especially with social media. I’m a private person. I prefer mystery. But I'm pulled into the past every time I see a photo from a long (and purposefully forgotten) era - a photo that I didn't choose to put out into the world. It's confronting. Cringing, I look at these old pictures and think about who I am now and who I was then and the wide gulf that stretches out between us. Who was he? Why did he dress like that? What's with that hideous haircut? Why wasn't he 'cooler' or at least, why didn't people like him? Why didn't he like himself? I judge him and all of his choices. The gulf gets wider and my anxiety grows. Here's the thing - I was nerdy, sensitive, awkward and afraid. I was a day dre...

《Call Me By Your Name 以你的名字呼喚我》中譯修訂 page 156 我在等你

---原文--- Looking at him now from the balustrade, I felt something so tender for him that it reminded me how eagerly I had rushed to B. to catch him before he'd even made it into post office. This was the best person I'd ever known in my life. I had chosen him well. I opened the gate and skipped down the several rocks and reached him. "I was waiting for you," I said. "I thought you'd gone to sleep. I even thought you didn't want to." "No, Waiting. I just turned the lights off." I looked up to our house. The window shutters were all closed. I bent down and kissed him on his neck. It was the first time I had kissed him with feeling, not just desire. He put his arm around me. Harmless, if anyone saw. "What were you doing?" I asked. "Thinking." "About?" "Things. Going back to the States. The course I have to teach this fall. The book. You." "Me?" "Me?" He was mimicking my...
