最近在ABC网上看老电视剧My So Called Life,94-95年上映,Claire Danes主演,可以算是美版的"十六岁花季".
只播了一个季度的电视,却是有史以来最为经典的青春片,真实的脆弱的深刻的困惑的激情的...看的我好像又重新活了一遍自己的青春期. 只能说青春期是场灾难,我们都是幸存者. 假如重来一次,我不确定自己能应付过来.
Angela Chase是个15岁的高一女孩,有着所有青春期女孩具有的敏感自卑和不安,一个貌似完美实则充满矛盾的家庭,尤其是歇斯底里的母亲, 几个亲密死党, 还有所有女孩都有过的暗恋对象, 和暗恋她的对象. 第一集起始,她就交代:"I’m in love. His name is Jordan Catalano. He was left back. Twice. Once I almost touched his shoulder in the middle of a pop quiz".
这位Jordan Catalano,具有所有少女暗恋对象的特征,帅气不羁,搞音乐,含情脉脉的眼眸和雕塑版的脸部轮廓,能让所有女观众同Angela一同望着他倾情到窒息. Angela曾经说,"you are so beautiful that it hurts to look at you",这句话用在Jordan身上再恰当不过,他当真有着让人看到心碎的美. 很多时候,Jordon的形象通过近景特写塑造,把观众放到Angela的视角,想不爱Jordon也难.
我很喜欢的一个片段,是Jordan从长长的走道那头走向Angela,她时不时去看他,一边紧张的拨弄自己的头发.Jordan走到Angela身畔,用低柔的嗓音说"Can we...go somewhere...",用Angela的话来说,这时让我干什么都行了. 这是Jordon第一次公众的向Angela表明自己的态度,当然Angela甜蜜的不知自已, 点点头便同他走,途中Jordan一把握住Angela的手,我的心情和Angela的一样顿时飞上了云霄.
90年代初的电视,现在看起来具有一股恰到好处的怀旧感,尤其Jordan常穿一身松大的绒布大格子蓝白衬衫,让我想起了我的中学时代和当时的偶像. 怎么说MSCL都是部太容易让女生产生共鸣的片子,至少对我的影响很深.要不是它,我快忘记自己的青春期都经历过些什么.
超级喜欢前两集里Angela的自白:
"school is a battle field....for your heart"
"Cafeteria is the embarrassment capital of the world. It's like a prison movie."
"My parents keep asking how school was. it's like saying "how was that drive-by shooting?". you don't care about how it was, you are lucky to get out alive."
"Lately I can't even look at my mother without wanting to stab her... repeatedly."
"If Jordan Catalano is, like, nearby, my entire body knows it."
"What's amazing is when you can feel your life going somewhere, like your life just figured out how to get good, like, that second."
