《壁花少年》又名少年自讀日記,我最喜歡的電影之一。和查理的日記一樣,我在簡書寫的這些碎碎念,都是孤獨的人聊以自慰的渠道。所以對于這個每周一部電影系列的文集,我要以這部電影作為開篇。
Dear Friend,i am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have.Please don't try to figure out who i am,i don't want you to do that.I just need know that people like you exist.
這部電影是我讀大學一年級時候我的好基友“小鬼”推薦給我的。電影里的配樂將我帶到一個新的音樂世界。這些音樂陪伴我走過了迷茫的青春。如今好友各奔東西,人生看似分道揚鑣,然而我們曾經在此地的年月不會輕易抹去,我們是誰?那寒冷天穹上燃燒的碎冰。
查理很幸運遇見了Sam和Patrick,我很幸運遇到那么多有趣優秀的朋友。時常還能有牽掛的人。
大二那年暑假,我和查理一樣,宅在家里,和我說話的人只和媽媽、弟弟。百無聊賴中,看完了壁花少年的原版英文書(密碼: adaf),也是我看完的第一本英文書。
關于這部電影的回憶,只剩幾個閃回的畫面:
電影結束在隧道,通向了新的生活。
I don't know if I will have the time to write any more letters
我以后可能沒時間再寫信給你
because I might be too busy trying to participate
因為我要積極參與人生
So , if this does end up being the last letter
或許這是我最后一封信
I just want you to know that
我想告訴你
I was in a bad place before I started high school
高中以前我的人生真的很慘
And you helped me

Even if you didn't know what I was talking about
就算你不知道我在說啥
or know someone who's gone through it
或者只知道是某人的經歷
It make me not feel alone
你讓我覺得不孤單
Because I know there are people who say all of these things don't happen
這世上很多人不相信這種事
And there are people who forget what it's like to be 16 when they turn 17
有些人步入17歲就忘了16歲的自己
I know these will all be stories someday
我知道這終將成為故事
And our pictures will become old photographs
我們的照片會泛黃
And we'll all become somebody's mom or dad
我們會為人父母
But right now , these moments are not srories
但此刻,這一切尚未成為過去式

This one moment when you know you're not a sad story
這一刻,你明白自己不是一個悲傷的故事
You are alive
你是有生命的
And you stand up and see the lights on buildings
你站起身來,看著燦爛的燈火
and everything that makes you wonder
和所有驚奇的事物
And you are listening to that song on that drive
聽著那首歌
with the people you love most in this world
和你最愛的人一起兜風
And in this moment , I swear
這一刻我發誓
we are infinite
我們就是永恒
最后,把那首tunnel song送給各位少年。David Bowie的《Heroes》。
Let's drive!
I wish you could swim
我多么希望看到你游泳啊
Like the dolphins
像一只輕盈的海豚
Like dolphins can swim
像一只可以在水中自由游動的海豚
