When the child was a child, it was the time of these questions. Why am I me, and why not you? Why am I here, and why not there? When did time begin, and where does space end? Isn't life under the sun just a dream? Isn't what I see, hear, and smell just the mirage of a world before the world? Does evil actually exist, and are there people who are really evil? How can it be that I, who am I, wasn't before I was, and that sometime I, the one I am, no longer will be the one I am?
初秋,真適合看溫德斯。
首先,我必須承認我並不是一個溫德斯的信徒,比起周遭一堆迷溫德斯要命的朋友(某先生癡狂到認為溫大導比愛因斯坦還偉大),我簡直算是跟他不熟。有點汗顏地,他的片我看的還真不多,曲指算算,也只有「樂士浮生錄」、課堂上看的「里斯本故事」,還有看電影系日文字幕DVD看到看不下去的「巴黎德州」,硬要算的話還有去年金馬影展混進去看了一小段的「溫德斯向前行」,僅此爾爾,對這位公路電影之王真有點說不過去。
老話一句,看電影就跟談戀愛一樣,要看緣份的。這位比我大了四十歲的電影大師,在我有生之年竟然要來台灣了,而且還要來學校辦講座!親炙大師實在是可遇而不可求的事,我竟然有機會可以親眼見到第三位金棕櫚大師,真是作夢也不敢想像。
