我的媽媽叫做鍾吉梅

總圖的週五電影夜。

有看過或是沒看過電影的人都知道，這是關於一個人越活越年輕的故事。

　我喜歡裡面的對白勝過影像的處理。有很多發人深省的句子，來自每個角色的口中。比如說船長麥克，他是個每天很得醉爛的人。雖然職業是拖船水手，雖然他爸恥笑他，雖然每個人都還是叫他船長麥克，他仍然堅持自己是個藝術家。他身上的刺青，是他自命為藝術家的驕傲，誰也無法割捨。他說：『不要讓別人牽著你的鼻子走，你得做你命中註定要做的事。』

　二戰卻帶走他的生命。這是他臨死前的話：『你可以像瘋狗一樣亂叫，你可以用髒話咒罵命運之神，但到頭來，你還是得放下。』(Captain Mike: You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go. )

　教導班傑明彈琴的老太太，她說：『我們會失去我們摯愛的人，不然怎能懂得他們的重要。』(Mrs. Maple:Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us? )

　還有那位被閃電擊中七次的老爺爺：『上帝總是提醒我，活著很幸運。』(Mr. Daws: Blinded in one eye; can't hardly hear. I get twitches and shakes out of nowhere; always losing my line of thought. But you know what? God keeps reminding me I'm lucky to be alive)

　這部片裡，每個角色最終都死了。女主角曾問了一個人類永遠的課題：『什麼是永恆的？』片中並沒有真正的解答，班傑明只回答了：『我會永遠愛你。』愛是恆久的嗎？但他們的生命畢竟也不全然重疊，到頭來班傑明失智忘了黛絲......。

　命運很詭異。彼此不相識的人們生命裡的每個小環節，都有可能影響著另一個人，或輕或重，是意外還是故意。不過是忘了拿風衣、調鬧鐘、喝杯咖啡...，每個小細節最終害女主角再也無法跳舞。到底該怪誰，還是怪命運、怪老天爺......。再想想船長說的話吧。

　死是必然，但故事想傳達的是－好好體會生命的每一刻，體會每一項新鮮事，認識每一個人...，以及發現你命中註定該做的事，一如電影尾聲班傑明給女兒的信裡所講的事情，那也是他一生的註解吧。

(Benjamin Button: Some people, were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people, dance.  You never know what's coming for you. )

Benjamin Button: [Voice over; letter to his daughter]
For what it's worth: it's never too late or,
 in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.
There's no time limit, stop whenever you want.
You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing.
We can make the best or the worst of it.
I hope you make the best of it.
And I hope you see things that startle you.
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
I hope you live a life you're proud of.
If you find that you're not,
I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

 到後面，我突然想到Oasis的<Half the World Away>
"So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old"

 『我什麼都記不得了，但總覺得好像體驗過很多事。』倒著活得人生就竟是什麼感覺？

   越想越複雜，先這樣吧。

導演：大衛芬奇（David  Fincher）[Silhouettes] Frequently has characters in the shadows where you cannot make out their face (Kevin Spacey in Se7en (1995) and Brad Pitt in Fight Club (1999)). -->真的,但我沒很喜歡
