看起來大概一百萬根桿子也打不著邊的兩個故事,一個節奏快速,一個步調沉緩,一個在城市舞台荒靡上演,一個在鄉野與都市間遊蕩掙扎。
先看的是猜火車,看完過了幾個禮拜,當時那些奇異的感想好像漸漸也淡了。沒想到昨天看了戀戀風塵,突然發現這些感想又不知從何冒了出來。
我在想也許因為他們都說著年輕一代的故事,說著人們如何面對未來巨大的不確定性,如何把自己變形裝進新環境的模架中,如何在守持與前進間拉扯。
我又要亂無章法的來說說那些現在還在腦子裡放啊放的畫面了,日語來說就是名場面。
猜火車的第一幕,一長串的口白,我想也是許多人津津樂道的一幕吧。
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?
