    A “good” “good” girl called Bess

    刚刚看完《Breaking the Waves》,这种极端的电影,本来以为自己无法欣赏的。影片介绍给我的感觉就像一个引人上钩的广告,完全按照吸引猎奇者的思路去写。如果是好莱坞出品,我还真不敢看了,不过却是欧洲商标,且是1996年的小老片,于是抱着试试的心情打开了。我从来不指望我打开的电影能够立刻就定下心看下去的,基本上都是下一批,然后一个一个打开,打到第五、六个能看进去,就很好了。这次,开篇便把我的好奇心紧紧揪住了。或许是那种非常写实的画面和音响效果,那模糊了时间和空间的荒原小镇,那穿插其间的小幅油画和章节标题?女主角Bess那苍白的面孔,纯真的眼睛,颤抖的嘴唇,敏感的神情。我试图努力去体会Jan和Bess的爱,虽然有太多道德和伦理的拷问,可最终我还是被他们征服了。当Bess扮演着God和自己一番番地祷告的时候,当她在世人的瞩目下穿着令人唾弃的妓女服装的时候,当她被人强行带走去精神病院时喊着“我要留在Jan身边”的时候,当Jan在钻井塔上抱着情绪失控的Bess说“It's OK”的时候,当Jan偷走Bess的尸体把她带到大海上流泪吻别她的时候。我被他们的忘我而投入的爱给征服了。虽然我还不能够非常的理解Jan对Bess的那个“请求”,可我能够相信,它是可以存在的,并且可能曾经在很多人的脑海中一闪而过的念头,只不过,Jan将它说了出来,没有顾及伦理和常理,而Bess用她强大的爱的力量,竟然毫不怀疑Jan的动机,并战胜了自己的虚弱和敏感,不顾全世界对她的误解,履行这个危险的请求。
    但她毕竟是幸运的,幸福的。她的爱令全世界全人类汗颜。她有Jan,有真爱,还有三个能够理解她和爱她的朋友:嫂子Dodo和Richardson医生,还有那个只为她敲响丧钟的God……
     
    "You are guilty of selfishness, Bess. You didn't even consider for one second how painful it must have been for him. You put your own feelings before everyone else's. I can't see that you love him when you behave like that. Now you must promise to be a good girl, Bess. " Bess祈祷时模仿God说,责备自己不该在Jan离开的时候情绪失控。
    "I promise to be a good girl. " Bess回答God,她每次都叮嘱自己要做个good girl,带有欧洲不知何处口音的英语念girl的时候有些舌头发僵,却显得益发虔诚可爱。
     "Sorry mother, I couldn't be a good girl. " Bess死前对母亲说。
     "Instead of ‘erratic’ and ‘psychic’, just use a word like, er, ‘good‘. " 医生请求法官改写对Bess的盖棺词说。
    "The deceased was dead from being 'good'? Perhap it was the psychological defect that led to her death. ” “No. ”
     
    不过,我今后还是少看这类电影吧。
