观影·经典︱蓝莓之夜 ——殊途同归的爱之旅
《蓝莓之夜》取材于导演王家卫早期的一部电影短片，影片由三个独立的故事组成。作为主线索的女主角Elizabeth因爱而起的一次旅行，将这三个独立的故事串联成了一场殊途同归的关于爱的旅程。
被女友抛弃的Jeremy在纽约的街角经营着一个小酒吧，并在一个冬日的夜晚认识了被男友欺骗的Elizabeth。两人同病相怜，心有戚戚，情愫暗生。但隐隐作痛的旧伤口还是让他们选择了不同的方式忘记过去：Jeremy选择留下等待爱来敲门，而Elizabeth则决定离开这个伤心之城，开始了孤独的寻爱之旅。
← 一个派，两种滋味 一串钥匙，一个爱情故事 →
蓝莓派和钥匙——王家卫的电影符号王家卫不愧是一位电影符号大师，他总能以其独特的手法和视角给其电影打上明显的王氏烙印。正如看到烈火中飞翔的白鸽就能定位吴宇森一样，暧昧的烟圈、出租车里斜倚的身段、快速移动的高跟鞋，以及怀旧的拉丁音乐都是王氏电影的身份证。
当然，鉴别王家卫电影的不仅仅是画面和镜头符号，还有很多具象的实体。《阿飞正传》里的无脚鸟、《春光乍泻》里的伊瓦苏瀑布、《花样年华》里的船票，都是故事情节里非常重要的传情之物。在《蓝莓之夜》里，担任这重要串联角色的则是蓝莓派和钥匙。
蓝莓派在电影中曾两度出现，一个在开头，一个在结尾。关于蓝莓派，Jeremy和Elizabeth也有一段寓意丰富的对话。 Jeremy: It’s like these pies and cakes. At the end of every night, the cheesecake and the apple pie are always completely gone. The peach cobbler and the chocolate mousse cake are nearly finished. But there’s always a whole blueberry pie left untouched. Elizabeth: So what’s wrong with the blueberry pie? Jeremy: There’s nothing wrong with the blueberry pie. It’s just people make other choices. You can’t blame the blueberry pie. It’s just no one wants it.
同一个人，同一种派，先后两次品尝，却是两种滋味。Elizabeth第一次在酒吧点蓝莓派时，正在品尝被抛弃后的自卑，感觉自己就像没人要的蓝莓派。 经典电影(蓝莓之夜) 每天一段经典电影台词《蓝莓之夜》如果说蓝莓派是Elizabeth的化身，钥匙则是Jeremy的替身。Jeremy在影片中还有一项特殊兼职，就是替来往的顾客转交钥匙。 Jeremy: I’ve had customers leaving keys here for years. Sometimes they pick them up in a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks. Elizabeth: Well, what about most of the time?
Jeremy: Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar. Elizabeth: Well, why do you keep them? You should just throw them out.
Jeremy: No. I couldn’t do that. Elizabeth: Why not? Jeremy: If I threw these keys away, then those doors will be closed forever. And that shouldn’t be up to me to decide, should it?
原来，每一串钥匙都代表一个破碎的爱情故事。钥匙是打开房门的工具，两人共有一把钥匙是两人相互信任、彼此慰藉、共同生活的暗示。而每把交出去的钥匙则代表着关闭的心门。有时候，这扇心门还可以再打开，所以“Sometimes they pick them up in a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks.”但是绝大多数时候，却是破镜难以重圆，覆水也难再收。“Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar.”
但在这一罐钥匙里，有一串钥匙尤其与众不同。
Jeremy: These keys used to belong to a young lad from Manchester, England, who made plans and had dreams of running every marathon in this country starting in New York. He was going to write a journal about his experiences and ended up running a cafe. Later they were given to a Russian girl who loved collecting keys and watching sunsets. Unfortunately, she loved sunsets more than the keys and ended up disappearing into one. Elizabeth: Why didn’t you go looking for her? Jeremy: When I was little, my mum used to take me to the park on weekends. She said if I ever got lost. I had to stay in one place so that she’d find me. Elizabeth: Does that work? Jeremy: Not really. She got lost once looking for me.
在这一段对话中，Jeremy以第三人称隐晦地讲述了自己的故事。然而，或许是同病相怜，Elizabeth心领神会，立刻意识到那位来自曼彻斯特、满怀浪漫主义的英国小伙，其实就是眼前的Jeremy。但她和Jeremy却具备了两种不同的性格特征：Elizabeth优柔的外表下隐藏着一颗倔强和冒险的灵魂，而Jeremy却更像一个被动的等待者。
但一个人的出现往往能改变另一个人的生活，甚至完全颠覆对方的性格。也难怪有人说The reason I love you is not because who you are, but because who I am when I am with you. Elizabeth与Jeremy的相遇为两人最后的角色互换埋下了种子。在影片结尾处，Elizabeth回到了纽约，因为在离开纽约的三百多天里，她发现她爱的人实际上就是旅程开始的地方。
Elizabeth: Where are the keys? You don’t keep them anymore? Jeremy: I’ve been trying to give them back to their owners. Elizabeth: Do you want yours? Jeremy: No. I don’t need them anymore. I got rid of them. 这样的结局再完美不过：各自丢掉那一串不忍舍弃的钥匙，如同斩掉先前剪不断、理还乱的苦恋的情丝。在经历过刻骨铭心的伤痛之后，两个人经过完全不同的旅程，如同完成了从蛹到蚕的蜕变，终于修成正果。Elizabeth这块“蓝莓派”，终于找到了情有独钟的仰慕者。而Jeremy的钥匙串里，也终于有了一把打开爱情锁的新钥匙。
爱情与自由——生命不能承受之重
Elizabeth离开纽约之后，首先来到了在孟菲斯做女招待。在那里，她遇到了一个因妻子红杏出墙而沉溺于酒精的名叫Arnie的警察。Arnie有一双被威士忌浸泡的眼睛，他是酒吧里的常客，并在一次夜里借助酒精的力量痛打了和妻子通情的男人Randy。Arnie的暴力激起了妻子Sue Lynne Lynne的盛怒，两人因此发生了激烈争执。Arnie在绝望之中驾车身亡，没人知道是事故还是自杀。Arnie死后，Sue Lynne Lynne来到了她与Arnie初次相遇的地方，并向Elizabeth道出了她内心对Arnie复杂的爱恨纠葛。 Sue Lynne: I was seventeen when he pulled me over…Who’d have thought we’d be married? In love with a cop, and stuck in this godforsaken1) town. He was so crazy about me. I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love. But it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here, and he was still crazy about me. You know, I used to daydream about him dying. I thought it was the only way I’d get clear of him. Elizabeth: You must have hated him. Sue Lynne: I didn’t hate him. I just wanted him to let go of me. And now that he has, it hurts me more than anything else in the whole world. This is where we met. Right here.
Arnie与Sue Lynne之间冲突的爱情关系一直是一个悬念，而厌恶Arnie的Sue Lynne Lynne对丈夫死讯的激烈反应也出人意外，直到这段对话解开所有的谜底。Sue Lynne并不憎恨Arnie，相反，Arnie的死给她带来了刻骨铭心的痛苦。Sue Lynne无法忍受的，只是Arnie对她的控制欲。Arnie在影片中的警察身份，似乎也是对他强硬性格的暗示。当Arnie竭尽其所能也不能留住Sue Lynne时，他最后掏出枪对准了自己的妻子。这是一个寓意复杂的镜头，在这组画面中，Arnie的身份从立刻丈夫转换成了警察；而枪口下的Sue Lynne，则从一个妻子转换成一个囚犯。矛盾冲突的最终结果，是Sue Lynne宁死也不愿回到Arnie的身边，而深爱Sue Lynne的Arnie最后并没有扣响板机。这是爱到极端的两个角色控制与反控制的反映，也彻底宣判了Arnie的死刑。
爱情和婚姻并不是一个人对另一人的所有制，密不透风的爱情正如高浓度的氧气，也会让人窒息。Arnie对Sue Lynne的情感是一种令人心酸的、自杀式的畸形感情，而深陷爱情囚笼的Sue Lynne也已丧失了自由、尊重和权利。爱情原本没有错，错的，只是爱的方式。或许，王家卫希望通过这个影片中唯一暴力的故事，传达他对爱情中的自由空间的理解：老声长谈，攥紧手心，什么也没有；打开手心，就拥有了一切。
信任与欺骗——我本善良离开了孟菲斯，Elizabeth来到了内华达州。在这里，发生了一个与爱情无关的故事。Elizabeth在内化达州一个赌场里做女招待，并在一场赌局中遇到了年纪轻轻却事故老辣的女赌徒Leslie。为了获得赌资，Leslie与Elizabeth达成谅解：Elizabeth为Leslie提供赌资；作为筹码，如果Leslie输掉了赌局，她将把她的车送给Elizabeth以抵押借取的赌资。最终，老谋深算的Leslie赢得了牌局，但她却企图赖账，打算吞掉拒欠Elizabeth的赌资。善良的Elizabeth虽然后来知道了真相，但却拒绝放弃与人为善的做人原则。Elizabeth的“不开教化”，甚至有些没有原则的信任和善良深深触动了Leslie，她不禁动了恻隐之心，苦心告诫Elizabeth不要轻易相信别人。 Leslie: Trust everyone but always cut the cards2)—the best thing my father ever taught me. You know what that means? It means never trust anybody. Elizabeth: If you’re so good at reading people. Leslie: Then why did I lose? Elizabeth: Yeah. Leslie: Because you can’t always win. You can beat players but you can’t beat luck. Sometimes your rhythm’s off; you read the person right but still do the wrong thing. Elizabeth: Because you trust them? Leslie: Because you can’t even trust yourself.
但人性本善的Elizabeth顽固地拒绝了Leslie的“厚黑学”。她在给Jeremy的信中说： In the last few days, I’ve been learning how to not trust people and I’m glad I failed. Sometimes we depend on other people as a mirror to define us and tell us who we are. And each reflection makes me like myself a little more.
一个毫无防人之心，一个毫无信人之心，双方都认定对方早已无药可救。戏剧性的是，就是这样两个性格截然对立的人物，却有一个共同的目标：获得一辆汽车。Leslie本应根据双方的约定，将她手中的汽车送给Elizabeth，以抵偿她向Elizabeth借的赌资；而Elizabeth正需要一辆车，这也是她一直打工攒钱的目的。但Leslie却不能把车给Elizabeth，因为那辆车是她刚刚过世的父亲留给她的唯一遗产；而这样Elizabeth就不可能得到汽车。这样的一组矛盾使剧情冲突变得尖锐起来。夹杂进来的父女之情、同情之心使两人之间本来简单的债权与债务、信任与欺骗关系变得复杂起来。最终，善良的Elizabeth为了成全Leslie对其亡父的思念，放弃了索取那辆汽车的权利；而Leslie则为Elizabeth买了一辆二手汽车，帮助她开回了纽约。
在这样一组矛盾里，汽车被影片赋予了一种特殊的情感含义。它代表着亲情，见证了Leslie对其亡父的隐忍的悼念；它代表着善良，面对切切父女之情，Elizabeth放弃了对物质的追求；它代表着希望，Leslie千方百计留下老父亲给她的唯一遗产，反射出她麻木阴暗心底里未被污染的处女地；它代表着救赎，当最后两人各自驾车分道扬镳时，Leslie曾经的麻木表情已变为满眼的爱怜与幸福——Elizabeth的纯真对她冲击已经不言而喻。或许，她也曾经如此纯真。 《蓝莓之夜》虽是一部爱情影片，但它所包含的深意已经超出了男欢女爱之情本身的狭隘寓意——朋友有情，夫妻有别，父女亲情已统统涵盖其中。不过，或许是Jeremy与Elizabeth的爱情故事略显老套陈旧，反倒映衬得另外两个独立故事更显深刻，引人思考。然而，抛开电影喧宾夺主的嫌疑，《蓝莓之夜》仍是一部赏心悦目的电影。因为，王家卫从不会放过任何一个镜头制造美丽，就连演员们抽烟、翻筹码的动作也会与众不同。 注释： 1.imposter[ɪmˈpɒstə(r)] n. 骗子，假冒者 2.Mort：指Calvin的继父 3.hole up：蛰居，躲藏 4.platonic[pləˈtɒnɪk] adj. 不切实际的 5.prude[pruːd] n. 拘守礼义的人 6.skinny-dipping：裸泳 2017-10-19 17:23 阅读 |
