《八月三十一日,我在奧斯陸》


一篇介紹《八月三十一日,我在奧斯陸》的文章形容,這是北歐版的《猜火車》。我以為是風格的相似,所以期待一個混亂躁動的世界,但看完才發現是題材、主題上的相同,氣氛、拍攝方式則完完全全不一樣。

果真是北歐版本,把這片完整回想了一下,真的想起一連串例如冷冽、冷漠、冷靜、寂靜、寂寞這些在被圈在同一區的形容詞。

剛從勒戒所出來的 Anders,在奧斯陸市試圖融入社會的正常運作,但他卻像是一顆隕石,闖進一座又一座穩定運轉恆星系,不得不與他人撞擊互動,試探他是否能找到一處空間安插進入軌道的可能,但未果,只好被記憶帶領,在城市搖晃遊盪,一切那麼熟悉的場景,如今卻感到那麼疏離,努力嘗試了一整個明亮溫暖的白天,進入北歐的長夜,隕石漸粉碎瓦解。

於是,撒點小謊也沒關係,偷點錢也沒關係,當然回頭再嗑藥也無所謂了。進入不了正常秩序的未來,也離不開奧斯陸這座記憶之城,只好重拾過往迷幻的片段。

一種經過掙扎的人生,但因為無力只能無可奈何地失敗的人生。我覺得這是部無比哀傷的電影。













我最喜歡的一段,是 Anders 在咖啡店,聽身邊的陌生人聊天交談。一個女子說了長長一串願望,如詩一般,越聽越有感覺。


" I want to marry, have kids. 
Travel the world. 
Buy a house. 
Have romantic holidays. 
Eat only ice cream for a day. 
Live abroad. 
Reach and maintain my ideal weight. 
Write a great novel. 
Stay in touch with old friends. 

I want to plant a tree. 
Make a delicious dinner from scratch. 
Feel completely successful. 
Go ice bathing, swim with dolphins. 
Have a birthday party, a proper one. 
Live to be a hundred. 
Stay married until I die. 
Send an exciting message in a bottle and get an equally interesting reply. 
Overcome all my fears and phobias. 
Lie watching the clouds all day. 
Have an old house full of knick-knacks. 
Run a full marathon. 
Read a book that's so great I'll remember the quotes from it all my life. 
Paint stunning pictures that show how I feel. 
Cover a wall with paintings and words close to my heart. 
Own all the seasons of my favourite shows. 
Attract attention to an important issue, make people listen to me. 
Go skydiving, skinny-dipping, fly a helicopter. 
Have a good job I look forward to every day. 

I want a romantic, unique proposal. 
Sleep beneath open skies. 
Hike on Besseggen, act in a film or a play at the National Theatre. 
Win a fortune in the lottery.
Make useful everyday items. 

And be loved."
