在《楚門的世界》(The Truman Show)里,金凱瑞扮演的男主角,走向了那片以藍天為背景的樓梯,他鞠躬,謝幕,走向了外面的真實。
一群被困在《心慌方》(Cube)的陌生人們,穿過了無數道門,與死神無數次擦身,最后只有傻子走了出去。
《鬼媽媽》(Coraline)中的Coraline找到了一扇小門,她爬過去,發現眼睛變成紐扣的父母和會說話的黑貓。
《克里蒂,童話小屋》(Kerity, La Maison Des Contes),不識字的小孩是新一代童話初版書的守護者,他需要念出那句蝌蚪文一般的咒語。
《了不起的蓋茨比》中,Nick將要見到他的表親Daisy時,門推開,白色的窗簾如夢似幻,一如那個既迷幻有現實的年代。
《紐約,我愛你》中,電話中的女人卡米爾(克里斯蒂娜?里奇<Christina Ricci>飾)愿意幫缺乏睡眠的作曲家大衛(奧蘭多?布魯姆<Orlando Bloom>飾)讀一本800的書,當大衛完成創作,卡米爾站在門外,說:“就這么定了。”大衛說:“那意思是我們可以結婚了。”卡米爾說:“不,我還有很多書要讀。”典型的好萊塢橋段,卻每次都能讓人怦然。
哆啦a夢的隨意門將孩子們帶入了一個奇幻的冒險世界,《藍色大門》上寫著青春的懵懂詩,《天生殺人狂》的監獄阻斷不了米基和梅樂麗的瘋狂與愛,他們輕易點燃一場場登峰造極的轟烈混戰。被困的鳥兒默默挖著地道,等待一場《肖申克的救贖》。它的羽毛太鮮亮,當它們飛走時,你的心底知道把它們關起來是一種罪惡,你會因此而振奮……
門為我們創造了一個私密的空間,這里,有驚喜有驚嚇,有幻想有殘酷,有真實有謊言,有決然有釋然……上帝有可能在你最痛苦的時候雪上加霜,關上一扇門,甚至連窗都關上,可遙遠的星光,依舊足以且必須照亮心中的渴望。門,可以鎖住一個人,卻難以駕馭一顆心。
門內有秘密,門外有人聽。這個秘密空間,依舊隔墻有耳。
所以有門,也應該像監獄兔(Usavich)的紅色老大基廉列克那樣,在90秒的演出中,用黑幫的氣質和對一雙球鞋的執念,讓別人的生活無處不轉折,并引發一出出的twist。或者像綠色小弟普京那樣,在90秒的陰差陽錯中,身處險境卻九死一生,擁有一顆強大的阿Q心。
請參與者聯想一個門后的故事,這次可沒有后門走的喲。
本期話題送給愛胡思亂想的你們。

Truman walked on the stairs, and the background was the beautiful fake blue sky. He bowed. The Truman show was over. He was going to the real world.
A group of strangers were trapped in the Cube, they passed through a lot of doors, faced the death countless time. Finally, that idiot went out.
Coraline found out a small door and got through it. And she found out that her parents has buttons eyes and the black cat could speak.
Kerity, a kid had reading problem but was chosen to be the new guardian for protecting the first edition fairy tales. Yes, he need to read the curse loud and clear. (Kerity, La Maison Des Contes)
In The Great Gatsby, Nick was going to meet his cousin Daisy, he opened the door, white flying curtains were filled his eyes. Just like that dream-like, psychedelic and reality time.
In New York, I Love You, the girl in the phone named Camil was willing to help composer David who was lack of sleep to read an 800p book. When David finish his work, Camil was standing outside the door and said:” That’s the deal” David said:” so we can get married?” Camil said:” no, I have more books to read.” Typical Hollywood drama, but still make people smile. ( The conversion in the paragraph was not exactly same as the movie.)
Doraemon had a door for kids’ fantasy adventure. Blue Gate (chinese translation)was a youth poem for growing up. The prison couldn’t block Mickey and Mei leli’s crazy and love. They are Nature Born Killers. It was so easy for them to ignite a chaos, especially ,they were just in the devils’ heaven. In the room, Grigo found out he become into a huge beetle, outside the room, there were his family who gradually became crueller and crueller because of his changing. A door, was the demarcation line of truth and the catalyst of humanity. Life is a play of The Metamorphosis( wriiten by Kafka). Trapped bird was quietly digging the tunnel, waiting for The Shawshank Redemption.”You know some birds are not meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up. DOES rejoice.”
Doors create an intimate space, where can be surprise or shock, can be cruel or illusion, can be truth or lies, can be decided or relieved…God may make you pay more even you have no penny. God may closed the door and even windows were shut too. But the distant stars still and must be sufficient enough to illuminate the desire. Doors can lock a person’ body, but are difficult to manage the soul. There are secrets behind the doors. There are earwigs outside the doors.
So, even there are doors. We should act like the red prisoner rabbit Lim Lek in Usavich. In the 90secs show, his ganger sprite and the obsession for a new pair of shoes, pushed him to messed up other people’s life. or we should act like the green prisoner rabbit Putin, in 90secs accidentally show, was put into the danger, but always reborn happily at the end.
Participants of today’s salon should share a “door story” and It will start like : I opened a door, and…
For all of you who likes fantasy.
