格瑞的困扰

有2段对白很棒
其一是Gray的同事Carrie退出那个"Weight Watchers"后对她说的~
人人心中都有自己的标准,何必被外界的眼光所束缚?

I hate fiber.
I like Mallomars.
And if Dereck isn't going to love me
for the tiny amount...
of cellulite I have
on the back of my thighs...
then fuck him- Screw that guy.
This is the package, okay?
It's exactly the same under the wrapping.
This is the package.
No exchanges, no returns.

我恨纤维，我喜欢巧克力曲奇
如果德里克不再爱我，就因为…
我大腿后面的那点脂肪
- 那就去他的，让那家伙见鬼去
就是这个包袱对吗？
里面裹的东西完全一样
就是这个包袱，不调换，不退货


I mean, why does
our society push us...
to be perpetually uncomfortable
with who we are?
It's so messed up.
You wanna know why?
Here. This is why.
"Boost your buttocks in fiive days."
"Luscious liposuction."
"The flawless face-lift."
That's why.
Enough is enough.
We need to stop letting
society and-and media...
and our religious leaders
delegate who we are.
You're amazing,
and I'm even more amazing...
and anybody who doesn't get it
can go screw themselves!

我是说，为什么社会要逼着我们…
永远都对自己不满意呢？
真是乱套了，想知道为什么吗？
这里，这就是原因：“五天形成翘臀”
“诱人的吸脂术”，“完美拉皮”
这就是原因，够了够了
我们要停止让社会，媒体…
和宗教领袖来定夺我们的身份
你很惊人，而我则要更惊人…
如果还有谁不明白的，滚一边去！



另外一段就是Gray在电梯里面对Sam说的她心中的恐惧，对les生活的未知感,让人唏嘘不已,自己都能深深体会到那种感觉~

I'm sick and tired of everyone saying
it's normal, it's typical, it's ordinary.
I don't feel any of those things.

Well, how do you feel?
- Lonely.
- Why?

Because I'm never gonna be able
to walk down the street...
holding hands with my partner...
without the rest of the world
giving us a look.
I may never have the wedding
that I once dreamed of...
and I may never have children...
and one day, when I die...
people will never give
as much respect to my grieving lover...
as if she were my husband.

That's what terrifiies me.
It's so much easier
to be someone else.

我讨厌死人人都说
这很正常，很典型，很普通
我一点也感觉不到这些

那你感觉到什么？
- 孤独
- 为什么？

因为我永远也不能…
和同伴手牵着手走上大街…
而不引来其他人的世俗眼光
我永远也走不进一度梦想的婚礼殿堂
我也许永远不会有孩子…
某天，当我死时…
人们不会多尊重我那悲恸欲绝的爱人…
就好象她是我丈夫

这正是让我恐惧的地方
伪装成另外一个人要轻松得多

很喜欢的一部电影，很轻松同时又很感人，好像还带点女权主义色彩。关键是三个女主长的都很漂亮。印象最深的三段谈话：跟女同事的，跟的士司机的，在电梯里跟哥哥的。
女主磨蹭了半天鼓足勇气说出那句”i'm a gay“的情景让我想起印象中多年前看的陈冲演的一部电影画面，昏暗的房间，电视机惨白的光打在母女两人脸上，然后伴随的那句”i'm a gay ” 。
不久之前才看过《如果墙会说话2》，第一个故事最后一个画面印象深刻。 “某天，当我死时人们不会多尊重我那悲恸欲绝的爱人。”多么契合。

对格瑞的扮演者没什么特别印象，她的作品不是很多，可能让我和大家比较有印象的就算那部温柔的杀我吧。
这个片子还满蛮轻松的，片头和中间那两段舞跳的很不错，我很喜欢。
整部电影涉及了女同，但基调是积极向上的！
对了，演格瑞嫂子的Bridget很漂亮，和科林法瑞尔演的谍海计中计很好看！

如果不講求影片成績，不失為初夏休閒小品．女同主題發展至今，已轉變出兄妹情爭，在喜劇的設定下，用40年代包裝，讓劇情軟著陸．

影片內枝枝節節的趣味，比影片本身更有意思．枝節詳述如下：

前半段真的很闷，看的偶快睡着了-_-|||
不是偶挑剔，女主角长太不GAY了，演得也不像，虽然她长得非常讨人喜爱，但是直到看完片子偶都没觉得她是GAY，看来不是任何直女都可以演GAY的，除了演技以外，能让人YY的外表也真的很重要啊，我只能说：Heather同学，你真的很努力了，只是。。你真的一点也不GAY啊，强扭的瓜真的不甜。。
其次，电影后半段真的为前面的平淡来个乾坤大挪移，不仅中心思想点的恰到好处，乐观的结局让人觉得看喜剧还真是能够愉悦心情。非常喜欢GRAY和SAM在电梯里的那段对话，真实，感人。

Sam: What are you doing?
Gray: I want to die right now. I never want to see another human being as long as I live.
Sam: You're just coming out.
Gray: I am never coming out of this elevator.
Sam: This is probably the biggest revelation of your entire life. It's normal to be going nuts. It's normal.
Gray: I don't feel normal. I'm sick and tired of everyone saying it's normal, it's typical, it's ordinary. I don't feel any of those things.
Sam: Well how do you feel?
Gray: Lonely.
Sam: Why?
Gray: Because I'm never going to be able to walk down the street, holding hands with my partner without the rest of the world giving us a look. And me never have the wedding that I once dreamed of and I may never have children. And one day when I die people will never give as much respect to my grieving lover as if she were my husband.
Sam: Gray, it's not as if you made a choice.
Gray: That's what terrifies me. It's so much easier to be someone else.
Sam: Do you remember when we were kids,you would have been about six,and Dad came home to tell Mom
he was leaving her for Mrs. Rosemont.
Gray:Yeah.
Sam: Remember we stayed in the closet all night,just cuddled up like two little mice and listened to their whole fight. I was...so angry,I was... hurt..I was just...I was mad, and I wanted to go out there
and kick his ass...
and you remember what you said to me?
Gray: Humm..
Sam: You were just six...
      but you said it was gonna be okay...that Dad was not gonna live a lie...that he was gonna try
and be happy...and that everyone deserved to be happy.

好久没看到这么可爱的小片了，妹妹爱上哥哥的未婚妻，围绕着看似赫然沉重的主题gray matters 用轻松幽默的笔触讲述了一个女同由矛盾自责到豁然开朗的自我认知的过程。通篇都铺满了mix过的美式幽默，难得的略显边缘题材的温馨轻喜剧。和很多打着同志旗号的电影不同，这部影片没有香艳肉欲的镜头，没有跌宕离奇的情节，没有铺天盖地的宣传，是一部带有人文关怀色彩的小成本精美佳作。

无论爱谁，爱本身就是疯狂的，不是吗？

和一见钟情的男子相处6天便闪电结婚的女子对暗恋她的女子说

从你12岁偷看隔壁家女孩的裙底我就知道你是同性恋~

当哥哥听到相处近30年的妹妹鼓起勇气说出自己是同性恋的时候说

这没什么，因为他以后不用活在谎言里，他是快乐的，每个人都应该快乐~

当小时候父亲决定跟母亲离婚跟情人住在一起时候，妹妹对气愤的哥哥说

是啊，人不用活在谎言里，勇敢地面对coming out 后的生活，痛快地开掉那个满嘴歪理的心理医师，惊奇的发现原来boss也是gay，当gray第一次从gaybar走出，高兴得在马路上尖叫，人生又一次开始了，不是吗~


Gray matters gay matters 呵呵 暗藏玄机的片名 so lovely movie

一般如果喜欢的电影，我会连字幕都一并看完，当然也经常会在放字幕的时候发现小惊喜，比如这部电影最后的字幕组成了可爱的图形，呵呵~
