也許是當一切都失去了以後,知道再壞也沒有別的再可以失去,
我們才有那樣的勇氣,去做平常不敢去做的事。
記得是之前和柚子去看「顫慄時空」時看到了「再見鍾情」預告裡的這段,
艾希頓跑到女主角家樓下自彈自唱著邦喬飛的「I'll be there for you」。
這應該是許多女孩子的夢想吧,
有個帥氣的男生抱著一把吉他唱情歌告白。
可惜現實生活沒有電影這麼夢幻,
我們遇到的男孩子,往往帥的自以為帥,什麼都不會,
會彈吉他的又偏偏都不帥,
很殘酷,唉。
我抱起吉他,反覆彈著從N年前就只學會的四個合弦,
指節有些彊硬,弦律不夠流暢,
知道是自己不夠努力,才會像現在這樣,
空有一把閒置的吉他,卻離夢想有一段真實的距離。
「再見鍾情」電影一開始,男主角就為自己的未來說了許多的「願景」,
女主角反諷他,「你以為當你擁有那些東西時,女人就會自動出現嗎?」
男主角被這句話問得有些呆住,卻還是逞強地回說:「對。」
艾希頓把這角色詮釋得很好,表情和肢體動作都很融入那角色的設定。
就像很多男人總把自己說得背上包袱多沉重一樣,
真的在物質上都擁有了以後,到底要花多久的時間呢?
誰又願意花這樣長的時間等待呢?而且肯定一定會實現嗎?
七年後的一無所有,是刻意安排的吧?
諷刺,而且要大家清醒去看清事實。
但反觀女主角三振男主角的原因,
從另一個角度看,也是女人的「願景」吧?
期望遇到一個各方面條件都符合內心預期的對象,
最後呢?
其實一樣都得醒悟的,條件不過是條件,
理論上和事實上,不見得完全相同,
命運這種東西,很難講的,不是嗎?

I'll Be There For You
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love, it’s suicide
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore
I pray to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
I know you know we're had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can’t promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
Solo
And I wasn't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you
