Before 三部曲說透了,其實就是個對話組成的電影。透過對話表述、有著愛情為包裝的對話,其實侃侃而談許多我們生活會想要逃避的對話。這電影談論人生、談論選擇、談論愛情的現實面,談論出個在許多人心目中不可動搖的地位。由對話中,womany 今天精選出九句表達對於愛情的希望、分手後的覺悟、心靈相通的可能性等愛情中各種不同階段觀點的情緒。


Before Sunrise 愛在黎明破曉時(推薦閱讀:一天即是永恆《愛在黎明破曉時》

“ I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.”— Celine

「我喜歡我轉頭時他盯著我看的深情眼神。」--- 席琳

“ There's these breeds of monkeys,right?And all they do is have sex. All the time,you know? And they turn out to be the least violent,the most peaceful,the most happy,you know?So maybe fooling around isn't so bad.” —Jesse

「妳知道有種猴子,他們整天都在交配。整天耶,妳知道嗎?結果發現牠們是最不暴力、最溫和快樂的猴子。所以,也許各取所需的關係也沒有什麼不對。」

“ People have these romantic projections they put on everything that's not based on any kind of reality.”  — Jesse 

「人們都會將他們沒有任何現實根據的浪漫的想法投射在所有的事物上。」--- 傑西

 


Before Sunset 愛在日落巴黎時(命定的偶然《愛在日落巴黎時》

“ You know what’s the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you? Is when you remember how little you thought about the people you broke up with, and you realize that that is how little they’re thinking about you.” — Jesse

「妳知道人家跟你分手最痛苦的是什麼嗎?是當你已經不再想那個與你分手的人時,妳意識到他們其實也沒有那麼常在想妳了。」--- 傑西

“I guess when you're young,you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life,you realize it only happens a few times.”— Celine

「我想,當你年輕的時候,妳會覺得很多人可以跟你心靈相通。但是隨著你長大,你發現這種機會很可貴。」--- 席琳

“You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.”— Celine

「正是那些美麗的小細節讓每個人都無法被取代。」--- 席琳


Before Midnight 愛在午夜希臘時(愛的永恆之道《愛在午夜希臘時》

“ If you want true love, then this is it. This is real life. It's not perfect but it's real. And if you can't see it then you're blind.”— Jesse

「如果妳想要真愛,這就是了。這就是生活。它也許不完美但是它是真實的。如果妳沒辦法看見妳就太盲目了。」--- 傑西

Celine:“ Will you be able to put up with me for another 56 years?

Jesse:“I am looking forward to it.

席琳:「你願意再忍受我五十六年嗎?」
傑西:「我非常期待。」

“ What I miss the most about him is the way he used to lie down next to me at night.  Sometimes his arm will stretch along my chest and that I couldn't move mine.  I even held my breath.  But I felt safe,complete. And I miss the way he was whistling,walking down the street. And every time I do something I think of what he would say. 「It's cold today,wear a scarf.」 But lately,I've been forgetting little things. He's sort of fading and I'm starting to forget about him. And it's like, like losing him again. So sometimes I make myself remember every detail of his face:the exact color of his eyes,his lips,his teeth,the texture of his skin,his hair. But it was all gone by the time he went. And sometimes — not always,but sometimes, I can actually see him.  It's as if the cloud moves away and there he is,I could almost touch him. But then the real world rushes in,and he vanishes again. For a while,I did this every morning,when the sun was not too bright outside, for the sun somehow makes him vanish. As he appears and he disappears,like sunrise or sunset or anything so effeminate. It's just like our life, um? We appear,and we disappear. And we are so important to some,but we are just passing through.”— Natalia

「我最想念他以前躺在我身邊的模樣。有時候,他的手會放到我的胸上,我沒有辦法移動我的手。我甚至會停止呼吸。但是我感到安全,我是完整的。我想念他邊走邊吹口哨的樣子。然後我每次作什麼事都會想像他會說什麼。『今天很冷,記得戴圍巾』。但是最近我會忘記這些小細節。他漸漸消失了,我開始忘記他了。這...這好像重新失去他。所以我有時候會強迫自己描繪他的臉的每一個小細節:他眼睛的確切顏色、他的雙唇、他的牙齒、他皮膚的觸感、他的頭髮。但是這一切都隨著他的過世一併被帶走了。有時候,但並非總是如此,但有時我真的可以看到他。那好像雲移走時他就在那裡了,我幾乎可以碰到他了。可是現實世界湧入,而他再次消失。我有一陣子每天早晨都會這樣作,當外面的太陽沒有很烈,因為太陽某種原因會讓他消失。當他出現、他的消失如同日出或日落或其他這麼柔弱的東西。這就像生命,對吧?我們出現、我們消失。我們也許對某些人來說很重要,但是最終,我們只是個過客。」--- 娜塔莉

簡單的幾個字串連起來卻形成足以感動橫跨十幾年的百萬觀眾,Before 系列電影將文字的力量表透的淋漓盡致。不論你生活是否快樂、對愛情是否還抱有希望,相信 Before 系列中一定至少會有可以感動你的文字。如果還沒看過的人,趕快去看吧!如果已經看過的,找個時間安靜下來,重新再回味一次吧。
