【心得】《Matthias & Maxime/麥特與麥斯》電影心得

/微雷/


這是第一次看多藍導演的電影作品,由多藍自編、自導、自演,連剪輯也自己來!台版的電影海報直接破題,這是關於麥特與麥斯以及被隱藏在攝影機後的吻。多藍在接受採訪時說到:「這不是同志電影,這是生活。我們從不會談論異性戀電影,『哦,我看了一部很棒的異性戀愛情電影』。對我來說,這不是同性戀的故事或愛情。從根本來說,我不認為兩位主角意識到這是同志愛情。這就是愛。」

想起我在18年寫《以你的名字呼喚我》的感想時提到:「靈魂是沒有性別。生理性別由染色體決定,而靈魂沒有絕對,每個人的靈魂都是自由的,你會純粹愛上某一個人的靈魂,而不是軀殼。」。從我的觀點,取向是需要經過探索及體驗,才會認知到自己的光譜,這可能是單一的顏色,也有可能是多種不同的顏色。

《麥特與麥斯》是由友情、親情、愛情、成長與探索所揉捏交織而成的故事。來到湖邊小屋渡假的一群好友,因好友妹妹拍攝短片的演員缺席,而開啟未察覺或體認到的深藏情感。然而,麥斯正在準備離開家鄉前往澳洲,工作平步青雲的麥特卻開始心不在焉。

很喜歡多藍的鏡頭語言,兩個主角在畫面中既是對比又是平衡的呈現,這個畫面呼應上一個畫面,畫面蘊藏許多巧思呈現角色之間情感的樣貌。在電影中「水」的元素,令我想到蔡明亮導演,水是渴求的象徵。以下是我的解讀,未察覺的慾望:看似一般的床,若不坐在上頭,不會知道那是水床。困惑的慾望:湖邊小屋的隔天清晨,在湖中游泳,用盡全力向前,上岸卻迷失方向。真實的慾望:在只有兩人的小屋中,雨不會突如其來,只是將會如何面對。

我對美好結局的故事是又愛又恨,過於美好即是虛幻,若不美好又缺少希望。人生充滿各種情緒,你會開心,你會難過,你會感受到從內心散發出情感及感覺,或是身體承受的疼痛。

我喜歡《麥特與麥斯》,因為這就是生活。

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...

---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...
