沒有跌宕起伏的情節(jié)

沒有大起大伏的脈絡

連女主都沒有火辣身材

只有女性感興趣的小帥哥

細膩入微的情感刻畫。



搭訕的法國男人怎么就不猥褻，反而體貼吶~~~

 
it's the first weekend i spend one hour and half to finish this movie which i left midway several weeks ago.
very romantic. i poured myself a glass of water and began to reminisce the acquaintance i've made with Chris.
the first time i saw him was in the librabry lounge. he asked me whether i'd like a cup of coffee, and i said chocolate. that's the way we found language partners in our university. i pasted up a little affiche on the outsidewall of the Friendship Shop looking for a language partner who speaks english and should be a native speaker. once he introduced himself as a french i was surprised. anyway he's european and spoke english. i was glad to have a friend. you know university life is not always full and most of my spare time was spent with those people. i was grateful that this university offered me such opportunity to enrich my experience with a variety of people, so i tried to make use of this resource.
hey,what's your name? kendra, i know it's hard to pronounce it in french...well,no no, it's alright. (and he tried to say it in french, it still souded queer.) we talked in agreement. and soon it's lanch time. i remember it should be a saturday or sunday, for Semmiss was not busy, but still with a number of students. he bought me a sandwich and i asked for a glass of juice, so the same with him. it's the first time i took a liking for the sandwiches in Semmiss. it's very cosy cafe; most foreign students especially europeans found it similiar to that at home. he said the cheese was good and also the beef, and taught me that if i found the the two peices of bread piling up together too thick, i couldn take off one and it still tastes good. i was interested in paris, and he told me paris women were in dominant. the only thing i found was that he's very thougtful with women and chivalrous. i spent more than half a day with him, and it's the first time i realized that i can talk with a frechman with fluent english.
i went to his dorm one night. he showed me his music and the movies he liked. 2046 was the one he mentioned. anyway as he sat so close to me and habitually put his hand on my thigh i felt uneasy. shortly i said i should go. i used to complain to him that i couldn't sleep well in the dormitry, so he said i could have his key and any time i came to get a sleep he could drop away. as i fell into an embarrassed silence not knowing how to refuse, we were both at pause.
after that i never went to his dorm again, but he still called me sometimes. i scarcely helped him in Chinese. and not after long he moved off campus and rented an apartment near Price Market. he invited me to his new apartment but i always had my excuses. he knew many things about women, even the strange relationship between women and the changing gravitational force of moon and also astrology.
 i still remember once we met by conincidence at the door of the library and he held me aside and said, he'd checked on the internet and knew that next year would be a difficult year for me. he told me to be careful. the fact proved that i really had a close shave with catastrophe during the next year. then we sat outside the library and chatted about something unmeaningful. that's a most beautiful autumn day. i truly deeply impressed by his expression of "i'd like to keep sunshine in my eyes".
later we met less and even null. his name was Christopher. i suggested that if he'd like "克里斯" was a cool Chinese name, so the other day he showed me his passport. it was "克里斯" on it. i smiled.
it's really a long time before we met again. when we first made acquaintance with each other, i used to run into him three times in a day, which he said was indeed lot or luck. the last time i saw him was the spring of the next year. i came back from a korean student's home and rode on the campus. outside the football field we saw each other. i knew i was kind of avoiding him for quite a long time, but soon i realised this was the last time we met. i was graduating and he's also moving somewhere else. he said maybe he's going to Xinjiang, where there're a lot of beautiful girls. we both laughed.
he worked with Phillips. and we lost contact after that. he didn't show up at my graduation ceremony with flowers.
later i left Peking...

30歲女人如何？30歲單身女人又如何？
欲求強烈，希望有人守在自己身邊，但朋友們都有了自己的家庭要經營，就連上交友網搜索25~45歲男人都會被告知：Your selectiong didn't turn up anything.
她難過，她焦慮，她抽煙喝酒，歇斯底里的傷害自己。

我在午夜2點時看完了這部片子，可能是時間的原因，電影的前半段讓我感到壓抑?？粗鳱ora一次又一次的找尋，一次又一次的試探，一次又一次受傷害，到最后終于下決心放下一切負擔從紐約到巴黎找到Julian，我送口氣，好吧，終于還是一個HE啊。
但篇尾Julian的那句 Would you stay with me for another drink? 著實讓我心動了下。

為什么需要一個伴侶？記得我的一個朋友說要和她的男朋友分手“和他在一起太無聊了”，我問她“如果分手了會怎么樣”？她想了想說“會更無聊”。
無聊和更無聊，你選哪個？
當然，那只是20多歲的我們的想法，30歲會想什么？找個好男人，結婚，生子，有個完整的家庭。
應該說，是要一個歸屬。

所以，在被問到 Would you stay with me for another drink? 的時候，點頭說YES。
心有所屬的留在他所在城市里。

Nora媽媽安排的相親男人對Nora說，你真的很nice。這在美國是一個半褒半貶的詞；在紐約基本就是個貶義詞了。

天真的Nora以為約會的演員喝醉時說的話是真的，還跟媽媽炫耀說她有了新男友，豈知他只是一夜風流而已（在紐約真的還有這么純情的美國女生么）；在她失望地離開后，Nora好朋友的老公Mark說，Nora很好，就是不懂男人，男人是需要挑戰(zhàn)的。Audrey說，你是說男人都喜歡像我這樣的bitch么，Mark邊笑邊說是的。

幾天前一個年紀大的同事問我modern dating是什么樣。我覺得這就是modern dating，男人拼命想把女人灌醉，說些夸張的情話，然后上床； 如果還有好感，兩個人再都玩些游戲，給彼此些挑戰(zhàn)。

所以當Nora遇到非典型的Julian，她以為這不過是另一個想把我哄上床的家伙罷了。于是Julian想親Nora的時候被她避開，她不明白為什么Julian不停說跟她在一起的時光很快樂，她對沒有跟她上床的Julian留下來并和她共度一天白天的時光感到十分費解。在她焦慮癥發(fā)作跟Julian發(fā)脾氣后，以為Julian已經被嚇跑了；第二天發(fā)現(xiàn)Julian卻在臺階上等她---她馬上開心的不得了。

那個在酒吧的Paul說的很好，你沒什么問題Nora，你尋找的和別人不一樣，但你得先找到自己才行。

Nora在地鐵上遠遠看到Julian的時候，有一瞬間，我以為她決定放手了。雖然后來兩人跑出地鐵看的很過癮，總覺得什么地方不對?；蛟S期望主角的個性在一句話后就改變還是不太現(xiàn)實吧。 Nora還是一個過于nice的人。至于她和Julian是real love還是法國版的modern dating， 我就不得而知了。

P.S.,我覺得任何不受酒精催眠的白天發(fā)生的sex的場景都很美，看的時候真心為主角歡喜，比如這部電影，比如Meet Joe Black。

"我們活著也許只是相互溫暖，想盡一切辦法只為逃避孤單.."
——鄭鈞《極樂世界》

看完《Broken English》（《蹩腳英語》），我覺得沒有什么比這句歌詞更適合作它的注釋，精準到絕望。

我們害怕孤單，于是希望有人來愛我們；當年齡增長，這種可能似乎更??；誰沒有嘗過苦果，只要他/她曾經嘗試；心中有屏障，是為了避免傷害；但是傷害和孤獨 ，誰又比誰更可怕？。。
 
愛情可以驅逐孤獨嗎？也許這本身就是謬論。
 
“大多數(shù)人在一起只是為了避免孤單，但是有一些人希望有奇跡magic”
“這有錯嗎？”
“沒有，只是奇跡不總是發(fā)生?！?br> 
法國紳士在酒吧對Nora這樣說，這是所有人心中的戰(zhàn)爭吧；如果一切仍然鏡花水月，你會妥協(xié)還是繼續(xù)孤獨尋找。
 
了解太難，信任太難，改變太難，承諾太難..這一切都讓人舉步維艱；這無關時間，Audrey結婚五年，仍然和丈夫隔閡難融；
 
Nora的母親和Audrey的丈夫是世俗的追隨者，幸福于他們是一種可以物化和形式化的物事；這樣的世俗壓力是強大的，如果我們每年婚慶，背后裝點事業(yè)成功，人際和滿，這樣假裝的幸福未必不會弄假成真；反正說到底，誰又見過真正的幸福呢？
 
Nora不是什么斗士，不是沒想過屈服；只是有那么一點挑剔，或者根本就是運氣不佳；35歲的女人追逐熱情未免可笑，可是心中的種子，總會被上帝知道；你真的相信了，它總會驀然成真。
 
這仍然是童話的安慰，但是我真的很欣慰結尾她安然滿足的微笑。
 
Magic，相信不相信，全在自己；其實也沒什么可怕，反正人生不過是場經歷，沒有結果，更沒有回程。。
 
PS: 片尾曲“Broken English”是Mariane Faithfull的老歌，由Scratch Massive翻唱并制作為電聲音樂；看歌詞應該是反戰(zhàn)的歌，選中它也許是歌名的緣故，但聽到的時候也覺得意境契合。
 
Could have come through anytime,
Cold lonely, puritan
What are you fighting for ?
Its not my security.

Its just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Dont say it in russian,
Dont say it in german.
Say it in broken english,
Say it in broken english.

Lose your father, your husband,
Your mother, your children.
What are you dying for ?
Its not my reality.

Its just an old war,
Not even a cold war,
Dont say it in russian,
Dont say it in german.
Say it in broken english,
Say it in broken english.

　　沒辦法，對于[蹩腳英語]這樣的電影，我不得不說，看的時候不要喝咖啡，煙酒也不適宜，雖然電影中有煙和酒，但那不過是個幌子，茶（中國綠茶）也不行，不搭調的，所以，對，奶茶（紅茶加奶，請用滾水。）
　　
　　娜拉（女主角）不特殊，她是我們身邊常見的朋友，或者就是你自己，正因為如此，所以她就變得“特別”了，難道誰會否認自己特別嗎？娜拉的朋友們并非都在美好的戀愛和婚姻中，她最好的女友雖然在婚姻中，但同樣面臨的是感情的危機。這部電影講的不是愛情的困惑和危機，講的是人自己對自己，面對自己的感情危機，孤獨感，不確定性等等，焦慮憂郁和希望快樂來回游蕩的人內心的恐慌和希望，提倡那種法國式的熱情，至少表面上不沉淪，提倡釋懷，提倡愛的前提是首先愛自己，相信自己，提倡那種不把幸福建立在某種定義上的思維方式，幸福不在婚姻上，也不在工作上，不在好友是否在乎和關照你上面，在乎你自己的內心對幸福的確立，當你把所有都放下，從內心體味到一種釋然的輕松和愉悅的時候，幸福就能悄然而至，很東方式樣的思辨提示，帶著巴黎的人文氣息，所以看的時候不得不喝奶茶。
　　
　　選擇有午后陽光的日子看這部電影吧，愛女人的男人也看看吧，女人，其實很有思想，而且真的不那么膚淺。：）

女人到了30歲，如果還是單身，都會開始變得神經質起來。
有的人選擇樂觀地神經質，有的人則選擇抑郁痛苦地面對它。

bj是前者，norah應該就是后者吧。
看bj，你應該是開開心心的或者捧腹大笑。
看這部電影，如果你單身，如果你也是那個"唯一"的單身。那么，小心被他刺到。norah其實就在顯現(xiàn)出那個你。

她是漂亮的，但是只是一個人獨自美麗。
她是那么渴望被愛，雖然她很想掩飾這點。
她是情感豐富的女子，但是很多時候她不知道該怎么維系一段關系。

讓人看得很心疼

但是還好，她最后有個好的結局
