You forget your head, and you listen to your heart. There's no sense living your life without this.
放下理智,用心尋找。沒有真愛,人生乏味。
─ Bill Parrish (by Anthony Hopkins)
《第六感生死緣,Meet Joe Black》1998年上映至今25年的美國電影,改編自1937年的舞台劇“Death takes a holiday”。
Bill Parrish(Anthony Hopkins 安東尼·霍普金斯飾演)一位縱橫商場,擁有成功、財富和權力的媒體大亨,某天死神到他身邊,一個帥氣的男人Joe Black(Bradley Pitt 布萊德利·彼特飾演)不疾不徐地走到他面前,告訴他大限將至。因想探究人類對死亡的好奇與恐懼及情感,Joe要求Bill在剩餘的日子裡成為他的領路人帶領他體會「人生」。
Q:Because she knows the worst thing about me, and it's okay. 因為她知道我最糟糕的一面,並接受我。
J:What is it? 那是什麼感覺?
Q:It's like you know each other's secrets, your deepest, darkest secrets. And then you're free. You're free! You're free to love each other completely, totally. 就好像你知道所有對方的秘密,那些最深層最黑暗的秘密。然後你就能感受到
自由,你能自由地毫無拘束並全然地愛著對方。
【Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love – well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived.】
Joe想帶著Susan一起離開,Bill問他,是否敢告訴Susan他是誰,她愛你卻不知道你是誰,她愛上的是外表的金髮男子還是附身在他身上的你?她知道她要被你帶去哪裡嗎?
當Joe走進Susan時,兩人的表情雖平緩但相視的眼神炙熱,彼此蕴藏着令人内心波盪起伏的濃烈情感流動,千言萬語梗在喉嚨說不出口。Susan的眼神似乎早已明瞭Joe並非那天早上遇到的男子,Susan臉上交錯著疑問與驚訝的表情,片刻沉靜後微笑地說著「You are Joe.」。原想帶走Susan共度永恆的死神,深情地看著Susan,溫柔平靜的回覆她「Yes,I am Joe.」
在一個深情的吻後,Susan感受即將離別的氛圍,緊擁著Joe...
Susan : Tell me you love me now. Joe : I love you now. I love you always. Thank you for loving me.
Trust, responsibility, taking the weight for your choices and feelings, and spending the rest of your life living up to them. And above all, not hurting the object of your love. 信賴、責任、承擔你的選擇和感受,與他共度餘生。而最重要的是不要傷害你愛的人。
