蹩脚英语

 
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...

看了15分钟才发现没有字幕，而且确实最后全部无字幕看下来基本没什么没听明白的，可能确实是broken English，所以说的比较简单，但是包括什么法语，西班牙语一概都能听个差不多还是挺佩服自己。。。

女主角属于越看越耐看型，演得很不错，惟妙惟肖，一个绝望的寻找爱情的女人，眼睛里暴露着一切。

男主角很可爱很可爱，眼神特别无辜，暴烂的英语，带个草帽，不过身材不错。另外手法值得学习，I just want to kiss you

电影很自然的流淌下来，完全不费力气。最后在两个人的天真中结束，没有结果，挺好，应该这样。

30岁女人如何？30岁单身女人又如何？
欲求强烈，希望有人守在自己身边，但朋友们都有了自己的家庭要经营，就连上交友网搜索25~45岁男人都会被告知：Your selectiong didn't turn up anything.
她难过，她焦虑，她抽烟喝酒，歇斯底里的伤害自己。

我在午夜2点时看完了这部片子，可能是时间的原因，电影的前半段让我感到压抑。看着Nora一次又一次的找寻，一次又一次的试探，一次又一次受伤害，到最后终于下决心放下一切负担从纽约到巴黎找到Julian，我送口气，好吧，终于还是一个HE啊。
但篇尾Julian的那句 Would you stay with me for another drink? 着实让我心动了下。

为什么需要一个伴侣？记得我的一个朋友说要和她的男朋友分手“和他在一起太无聊了”，我问她“如果分手了会怎么样”？她想了想说“会更无聊”。
无聊和更无聊，你选哪个？
当然，那只是20多岁的我们的想法，30岁会想什么？找个好男人，结婚，生子，有个完整的家庭。
应该说，是要一个归属。

所以，在被问到 Would you stay with me for another drink? 的时候，点头说YES。
心有所属的留在他所在城市里。

女猪脚见多了人，麻木了，kiss都麻木了，不想了，怕又是有始无终~
最后那么好的结局，虽不像真，但喜欢。
-so you like me?
-yes
-would you stay with me for another drink?
-nod
-but you know you're gonna miss your flight?
-微笑闭眼，以后怎样就怎样吧~

    “无论是男人还是女人，如果到了一定的年纪仍然没有稳定的爱情关系或家庭生活的话，既不是因为他们太过眷恋一个人的轻松和自在，也并非‘曾经沧海难为水’，只能说这个人在感情的处理方面，还是太过稚嫩。”

    这是美国电影《蹩脚英语》封套上的一句话，但在看了此片两遍后，仍然难以苟同这一观点，甚至觉得这是对剩男剩女的一种侮辱。每个人都有自己的命中注定，有些人可能很快找到，而有些人却需要绕一大圈才能遇到对的人。这与处理感情的方式有关，但并非绝定性因素，再科学的世界观也无法抹杀运气的成分，有神论有时比无神论更能救人于焦虑。是的，到了大龄青年这个阶段，焦虑是常态，症状为自卑、恐惧、懦弱、不敢作决定......

      诺拉已经三十五岁了，周围朋友都已经成家立业，只剩她还单身一人，并且仍无结婚对象。和大多数女人一样，她不关心地理，记不清路线，在一家宾馆工作了六年，没有什么大的目标。唯一的期待就是遇上一个好男人。“大家都有了，为什么我没有？”朋友的答复是：你会有的，只是下次别傻了。

      是的，她傻过，与住在宾馆里的一个男演员发生了关系，便以为他们在交往，口无遮拦的宣布给家人和朋友。在得知对方有女友时，还想不通到底哪里出了问题。她根本就没有想过，她和演艺圈这个世界离得太远，她遇到的是一夜情，而非爱情。这一点，她是幼稚的，现在连十岁的孩子都知道，演艺圈充满了欺骗和黑幕。被骗献身，与其相信那是爱情，还不如借潜规则上位。当然，也不会有人愚蠢到去潜规则男主角。

      或许每个女人都期待一段虚荣的爱情，被他爱上是一种荣耀。只有如此伟岸的形象，才能让人死心塌地甘心奉献。这是童年时期听多了“白马王子”故事产生的毒瘤，而王子与灰姑娘的相遇，更是让无数女人丧失了自知之明的迷失在海市蜃楼般的寻爱之旅当中，最终像美人鱼一样一夜闪耀之后，化为泡沫。这种经历是未经世事的少女的专例，没想到，这个女人到了35岁才遇到。真是让人感叹，错爱要趁早，幸福少不了。

      之后的际遇，不能再怪她幼稚。男人可以越挫越勇，但女人却是越挫越怕。对于一个感情频频失利的女人来说，她还有多少激情可以挥霍，有多少真心可以挖掘，有多少床可以去上，她内心已满是恐惧。如果一个女人还没树立游戏人生的目标，那她注定是恐惧的，因为玩不起。相亲时的麻木，约会时的倦怠，都是自我防备的一种表现形式，她需要的是有人拿着一把精准的钥匙，直接打开她的心门，她再也经不起纠结的爱情。在一次次无疾而终的相亲中，她绝望了，年龄也不允许她再“聊胜于无”，她只能找到那个可以结婚的人。

      遇到朱立安，并不抱太大希望，这是她学乖了的一点，不要动不动就讨论终身，这不是初识时用来考验感情的是非题，问问自己也是难以作答。如果没有一见钟情，那就接受先上车后买票，感情可以培养，相处需要试验，而婚姻，是前两者顺利进行的结果。果然，在短暂的相处中，她便发现她已经不懂得如何与人相处了，一个简单的遇到熟人如何介绍的问题，都让她崩溃了。是的，相爱可以是一个瞬间，相处却是一点一滴的。所以，朱利安在要回法国时，她没有勇气与他一起走，她习惯性的逃避了。这我倒认为她做对了，在有太多不确定的情况下，冲动地“私奔”才是幼稚的表现。他的经济状况如何，他的父母态度怎样，他的热情能有多久......统统都是未知数，都说了是大龄青年了，再搞那些没谱的事，非整成老黄花不可。

      如果电影按这个基调发展下去，或许能成为影评界的一大热门——一个面容气质俱佳的女人为何找不到称心的男人。但是，导演也是女人，她牺牲了永垂不朽，留存了完美想象。诺拉去到巴黎找朱立安，在公车上相遇，朱立安留她，她答应。如此通俗。

      而通俗在没有进入通俗的人那里，却似乎是一个目标，你忙忙碌碌、寻寻觅觅，其实要的只是一个通俗的结果：一个爱人，并与之厮守。而对比得讽刺的是，一直陪伴着诺拉的好朋友，五年前便进入婚姻，但如今的她，与诺拉一起喝酒、一起发泄、一起出走，因为寻找有寻找的焦躁，婚姻有婚姻的烦恼，无论处于什么阶段，殊途同归。诺拉寻找到的，还只是一个进入通俗的门槛，之后的油盐酱醋、酸甜苦辣、吵吵闹闹，还在她的下一扇门内。如果不知情况如何，建议先看看我们中国人的——《金婚》。

可以说片子开始的三十分钟在我看来都很平淡，和男演员失败的第一次约会，Nora此时带有略微的神经质却深深地渴望得到爱。
恋爱失败感情受挫之后，害怕付出，于是遇到了Julian，一点点地释放自己，然后相爱。
Nora和Julian在浴池里的对话记忆颇深，Nora虽然对爱情和婚姻充满了无限的憧憬，却已经对自己的感情失去了信心，所以即使自己已经爱上Julian,却依然将信将疑。
Julian离开美国，Nora带着迟疑和各种理由留在了纽约，继续地生活却毫无激情，于是Nora在好友的陪同下，来到巴黎寻找Julian.
送包裹一段，颇为离奇，把Nora当做外孙女的老太太告诉Nora,她渴望找到真爱，但是爱情是一种感觉，但是婚姻只是一个契约....趁年轻，要抓紧去爱。于是Nora决定独自留下，继续找Julian.
当没有任何线索和可能性找到Julian的日子一天天过去，Nora也在法国度过了美好的时光，逐渐快要治愈她对Julian的思念。而就在Nora准备回国的大巴上，Julian出现了......嗯，灰常爪马。
短短的对白，也许和Nora在心中幻想过的若干次见面，都太不相同，她甚至没有说出，来到法国是为了寻找Julian,
最终Julian拿起Nora的包，两人来到咖啡馆，以一个雷同于BEFORE SUNSET的开放式结局结尾：
你能再陪我喝一杯么？
当然。
你会错过飞机的。
我知道。
