糖果

总是有那么一段发烧的时候
人生的非常时候。
佐之以海洛英的话
这个发烧可能是一种极致
这个电影的张力的明显的
而且这种张力，很迷幻，没有一定的方向，---这是作为毒品的candy？
看这个电影的时候，很容易恍惚。尤其是导演还用天堂、地狱、人间来分段，更加迷惑。
镜头干净，直接
最后的时候，又是那样光彩照人的、性感青春的candy到中国餐馆来找洗盘子的他，他哭了。
回不去了。他说
我突然想起，陈升在刘若英访谈中，说的话，表达的情绪。
candy，用所有的有颜色的化妆品，在他们的爱巢陋室的所有空的能够写字的地方，写下了他们的爱情日记，很有冲击力。一如她的离开，一如她父亲的眼神。
一如她母亲说的，你在我这个美丽的女儿身上做了什么？
所以他说，回不去了？

"Candy", 一個女孩的名字, 可以代表糖果, 也可以比喻引誘人的毒品, 就像一顆吃了又想再吃的糖果, 是糖衣陷阱? 抑或甜得令人醉倒? "Candy"也是今屆香港國際電影節的閉幕電影之一, 是澳洲導演Neil Armfield的作品, 之前從未看過他的電影. 此劇改編自同名原著"Candy"的小說, 作者是Luke Davies, 一本關於愛與毒癮的書, 他說:"There were good times and bad times, but in the beginning there were more good times."

可能由於電影說的是毒品和它怎樣摧毀人生, 對象可是全世界的觀眾, 亦有這個野心, 所以感覺上演員都刻意避免用太重的澳洲口音.

很喜歡用遊樂場裡的旋轉離心機作開場, 令人會心微笑. 但快樂的開始未必等於愉快的結果. 故事是一個悲劇, 一對年青男女, 男的是愛寫詩, 女的愛畫畫, 一個暑假, 海洛因成了他們的"良伴", 無法停止. 飾演男主角Dan的是"斷背山"主角Heath Ledger, 女主角Candy由Abbie Cornish飾演, 去年在電影節中的"Somersault"有不俗的表現. 兩位演員演出也不錯, 頗喜歡Abbie Cornish, 不是很豔麗, 但就是有廿來歲女孩特有的那份青春無敵氣質, 很誘人. Heath Ledger在此片演出比"Brokeback Mountain"更自然, 很有那種潦倒頹廢感.

電影中段有點拖拉和鬆散, 沒有凝聚力, 兩個年輕演員雖不俗, 但未能撐得住全套劇, 有點悶場, 不夠緊湊豐富. Geoffrey Rush飾演的Casper, 是個富有的教授兼癮君子, 戲份較少, 亦不見其發揮機會.

電影中最震撼一幕必定是Candy和Dan抱著夭折的不足月嬰孩傷心欲絕睡在醫院病床上, 嬰孩灰藍色的臉孔, 張開了的小口, 令人毛骨悚然, 極之駭人.

電影結局Dan的決定給人難忘的感覺, "青春的脆弱"就來個告別吧. 很喜歡Candy獨白那一段:"Oh Danny boy..."

曾今有一对男女名叫dan和candy
那年一切都很火热
所有的蜡烛都在树上融化
他在阳台蠕动，到处攀爬，为她做任何事
我的dan男孩
成千上万的鸟儿 最小的鸟儿装点着她的秀发
一切都是金色的
一天晚上 欲火点燃了绣床
他风度翩翩 坏得恰到好处
我们住在阳光和巧克力的宫殿里
午后纵情狂欢
dan 铤而走险的战士
candy为你祈祷
那天的余晖像鲨鱼般在巡游
“这次，我要试试你的办法”
你如此迅速的进入我的生命 并且我喜欢
我们在欢愉的泥泞中碾得粉碎
我双腿潮湿 屈服于你
万物之中有条鸿沟
整个大地都倾斜了
这就是事业 这就是我们追随的
你在我体内 伴着夜晚的降临
难再入睡 水池中的怪物
黑暗本质的一部分 飞翔
鸡和奔跑的青豆
我所看到的地方
我有时恨你
...........
床边的一盆花
我一时失手
打破了你的头
孩子死于清晨
我给他起了个名字
他的名字叫托马斯
可怜的小家伙
他的心像魔法般鼓动得跳动

这是一段瘾君子的感情。
经历过爱，美好，吸毒，戒毒，孩子，失去孩子，新的生活，精神病..
.最后再次聚首，却回不到过去。
世界并没有改变，在你眼里世界是什么样的他就是什么样的。
你用你的行为把它变成了那个似乎绝境的深渊。
这样爱情也会在泥藻中失去她的姿色。
最后连同所有的一切被黑暗吞噬。
精神病是人逃避的港湾。死亡是逃避港湾的人最后的终点。

關於毒品的電影, 看得太多了. 而看candy這套戲, 純粹只是因為這個名字.

電影開始時, 是dan的自白, 他細說他的candy, 聽到candy這名字, 頓時毛管楝. 由abbie cornish演candy最貼切不過, 她是那種甜到滿瀉的女孩. dan和candy瘋狂地的愛上對方, 他們從毒品中找到可以逃避現實,只容得下對方兩人的天堂, 從彼此的沉淪中找到如糖果般甜美的快樂.

全片由heaven, earth, hell三部份道出他們兩的愛情關係, 導演沒有刻意去說教, 只是將現實放在大家眼前, 卻又拍得如夢如詩的美麗, 不知這片子有多少是忠於原著, 儘管有不少不完美之處, 觀眾只要用心去感受那種愛到沉淪至自我摧毀的淒美就夠了.

若你明白愛可以愛到不能自拔, 看這套片一定會覺得很痛, 痛得只好放手.

Once upon a time, there was Candy and Dan.
Things were very hot that year.
All the wax was melting in the trees.
He would climb balconies, climb everywhere, do anything for her...
oh Danny boy....
Thousands of birds, the tiniest birds, adorned her hair.
Everything was gold.
One night the bed caught fire.
He was handsome and a very good criminal.
We lived on sunlight and chocolate bars.
It was the afternoon of extravagant delight.
Danny the daredevil.
Candy went missing.
The days last rays of sunshine cruise like sharks.
I want to try it your way this time.
You came into my life really fast and I liked it.
We squelched in the mud of our joy.
I was wet-thighed with surrender.

Then there was a gap in things and the whole earth tilted.
This is the business.
This, is what we're after.
With you inside me comes the hatch of death.
And perhaps I'll simply never sleep again.
The monster in the pool.
We are a proper family now with cats and chickens and runner beans.
Everywhere I looked.
And sometimes I hate you.
Friday -- I didn't mean that, mother of the blueness.
Angel of the storm.
Remember me in my opaqueness.
You pointed at the sky, that one called Sirius or dog star, but on here on earth.
Fly away sun.
Ha ha ha you are so funny Dan.
A vase of flowers by the bed.
My bare blue knees at dawn.
These ruffled sheets and you are gone and I am going too.
I broke your head on the back of the bed but the baby he died in the morning.
I gave him a name.
His name was thomas.
Poor little god.
His heart pounds like a voodoo drum."


那些回忆 变成美妙的词语
变成五彩的文字出现在那个乱七八糟的家
Dan奋力的擦 却始终抹不去他们的痕迹

到那时我才发现candy确实是艺术家

糖果，代表着是毒品和年轻女孩。 影片双重寓意下活色生香淋漓展现海洛因和性的羁绊下的撕扯，既惋惜又在心碎中戛然而止，留下既是悔恨又是不舍，那种难言的无声表达牵扯着观看者的心…… 影片讲述一名艺术生漂亮如糖果般的女孩认识一男孩后，双双堕入爱河，为了找寻刺激而开始两人吸食毒品，从吸食到打针，在毒品这条道上越走越远。 荒废绘画的学业，两人同居，因无生活来源，女孩选择当站街妓女，得来的钱再让男孩去买毒品，颓废的两人过着行尸走肉般的人生，其间，因女孩发现怀孕，两人想改过自新，决定戒掉毒品，而两人在活生生戒毒期间，导致女孩孩子胎死腹中，共同面对惨死的胎儿，也让两人重新开始审视人生。 于是，决定搬到偏僻乡下生活，远离繁华与毒品，由于太过年轻，没有生活阅历，不懂得婚姻的真谛，以及贫穷的伴随，突然的沉静与恶劣的环境却打破女孩紧绷的神经，她进入半疯状态，而选择了自杀。

终究被救回，却被诊断为精神病，被关在精神病医院里。

深爱女孩的男孩，深受打击，在崩溃与死亡间游走，当看到长期毒友因扎海洛因而死去的模样，他选择放下。

去找寻工作，给饭店刷盘子并远离毒品，记掉毒瘾。

而女孩经过治疗恢复正常后，来见男孩，并想恢复以往关系时，男孩却做出了对于两人来说更好的结局。

推开心爱的女孩，让女孩远离他，而这一切，只因为，我爱你！
