漂亮男孩

应该没有人会看，但求生欲强，我先声明下，以下仅代表个人当时的所以所想，用了一些英文只是最近英文电影看多了，有点点英文的思维，用错了勿怪，我只是四级以下的水平。

另外，甜茶真的很帅，而且演技一绝，我看过好几部他的电影了，每个角色都是独立的，完全不会串戏，这点太牛批了

我还是最爱elio啊

——————

一边看豆瓣里的解释一边看的，怎么说捏，nic真的令人很心痛吧，像我这种平常人看到一个吸毒的只会认为他没救了，觉得他是咎由自取。

其实想了下，像我这种之前觉得酒精很好，喝了酒会high，会很兴奋，喜欢喝酒。然后终于有一次年会上喝了很多红酒，在酒店半夜趴在床上头痛欲穿之后，再也不想喝酒了。我会想，为了high一时，而后面自己这么痛苦，我宁愿不high了。确实哈，我平常生活富足，童年没什么大事件，家庭稳定且美满，现在bf对我非常好，公司和同事也不算没良心，有朋友可以交流，有家可归等等，纵使肯定会有生活的不愉快，但也可以go through。实在是不需要酒精去一时地麻痹自己，get high for a while。

所以看了这个第一次感受到：或许啊，有些人真的因为经历过某些事，心里有着巨大的空虚。这些事情真的不是因为他们做错了什么才，而且他根本没得选择的去server it。他真的不是咎由自取，他真的不是不想乐观向上。反过来他们是太想乐观、太想积极了，才会导致生病，得了抑郁症之类的心理疾病吧。生病了之后，自己没办法调节，就更加更加地低落，形成了一个负反馈、死循环了。

其实我曾经有一个好朋友，她也得了类似的病。她高考前在学校遭受校园暴力，高考后父母离异（就是有种你终于上大学的感觉，现在回想起来，想必离异前已经家庭破碎、经常争吵了），在大学时也过的不咋滴。像我这种他们身边的人，在看这电影之前其实是很难理解他们为什么会这样，为什么她就得病了，我会觉得我平常也会有难过啊，我自己也不是总是很开心啊。

在知道她得病之后，我真的很想对她好，同时不知道该怎么对她好。不想感动自己，我是真的想do something nice to her。我查了很多，知乎啊、豆瓣啊等等。看了很多电影，比如余文乐的那个、legal high男主角的那个等等，还是没有得到答案。仍然是无法理解，不知怎么样做才算是对她好。

其实我自己某些时候也会有某些时间段不开心到快要抑郁的状态，但最后由于我的家庭啊、还有things getting better等因素，拯救了我。我就以那时候，我自己快要抑郁的感觉去理解她。（但应该还是远远不够吧）

采用对待她的方法是当她像是平常人一样，她愿意说的时候，我尽量耐心聆听的那种。

最后，也就是现在，我还是失败了。她对我很失望，我们也绝交了，不再是朋友了。

但是，你知道吗，秋千，今天我好像又进一步了解你多了一点。祝福你，希望你身体健康，平安喜乐吧。我之前跟你说过，但你不相信的，你在我心里的位置永远是best friend，其他人都不及你。

唉，其实我也觉得绝交了也不是不好吧，我也只是一个普通人，我有我自己生活和烦恼，我没有办法把生活的重心放在你那，我可能真的不能帮到你什么吧。

回归电影，我真的不想生孩子，更别说是多个孩子了，我连家里两只猫的关系都没办法平衡、平等地处理，更别说人了。

Either peace or happiness,

let it enfold you

when I was a young man

I felt these things were

dumb, unsophisticated.

I had bad blood, a twisted

mind, a precarious

upbringing.

I was hard as granite, I

leered at the

sun.

I trusted no man and

especially no

woman.

I was living a hell in

small rooms, I broke

things, smashed things,

walked through glass,

cursed.

I challenged everything,

was continually being

evicted, jailed, in and

out of fights, in and out

of my mind.

women were something

to screw and rail

at, I had no male

friends,

I changed jobs and

cities, I hated holidays,

babies, history,

newspapers, museums,

grandmothers,

marriage, movies,

spiders, garbagemen,

english accents,spain,

france,italy,walnuts and

the color

orange.

algebra angred me,

opera sickened me,

charlie chaplin was a

fake

and flowers were for

pansies.

peace and happiness to me

were signs of

inferiority,

tenants of the weak

and

addled

mind.

but as I went on with

my alley fights,

my suicidal years,

my passage through

any number of

women-it gradually

began to occur to

me

that I wasn't different

from the

others, I was the same,

they were all fulsome

with hatred,

glossed over with petty

grievances,

the men I fought in

alleys had hearts of stone.

everybody was nudging,

inching, cheating for

some insignificant

advantage,

the lie was the

weapon and the

plot was

empty,

darkness was the

dictator.

cautiously, I allowed

myself to feel good

at times.

I found moments of

peace in cheap

rooms

just staring at the

knobs of some

dresser

or listening to the

rain in the

dark.

the less I needed

the better I

felt.

maybe the other life had worn me

down.

I no longer found

glamour

in topping somebody

in conversation.

or in mounting the

body of some poor

drunken female

whose life had

slipped away into

sorrow.

I could never accept

life as it was,

i could never gobble

down all its

poisons

but there were parts,

tenuous magic parts

open for the

asking.

I re formulated

I don't know when,

date, time, all

that

but the change

occurred.

something in me

relaxed, smoothed

out.

i no longer had to

prove that I was a

man,

I didn't have to prove

anything.

I began to see things:

coffee cups lined up

behind a counter in a

cafe.

or a dog walking along

a sidewalk.

or the way the mouse

on my dresser top

stopped there

with its body,

its ears,

its nose,

it was fixed,

a bit of life

caught within itself

and its eyes looked

at me

and they were

beautiful.

then- it was

gone.

I began to feel good,

I began to feel good

in the worst situations

and there were plenty

of those.

like say, the boss

behind his desk,

he is going to have

to fire me.

I've missed too many

days.

he is dressed in a

suit, necktie, glasses,

he says, 'I am going

to have to let you go'

'it's all right' I tell

him.

He must do what he

must do, he has a

wife, a house, children,

expenses, most probably

a girlfriend.

I am sorry for him

he is caught.

I walk onto the blazing

sunshine.

the whole day is

mine

temporarily,

anyhow.

(the whole world is at the

throat of the world,

everybody feels angry,

short-changed, cheated,

everybody is despondent,

disillusioned)

I welcomed shots of

peace, tattered shards of

happiness.

I embraced that stuff

like the hottest number,

like high heels, breasts,

singing,the

works.

(don't get me wrong,

there is such a thing as cockeyed optimism

that overlooks all

basic problems just for

the sake of

itself-

this is a shield and a

sickness.)

The knife got near my

throat again,

I almost turned on the

gas

again

but when the good

moments arrived

again

I didn't fight them off

like an alley

adversary.

I let them take me,

I luxuriated in them,

I made them welcome

home.

I even looked into

the mirror

once having thought

myself to be

ugly,

I now liked what

I saw, almost

handsome, yes,

a bit ripped and

ragged,

scares, lumps,

odd turns,

but all in all,

not too bad,

almost handsome,

better at least than

some of those movie

star faces

like the cheeks of

a baby's

butt.

and finally I discovered

real feelings of

others,

unheralded,

like lately,

like this morning,

as I was leaving,

for the track,

i saw my wife in bed,

just the

shape of

her head there

(not forgetting

centuries of the living

and the dead and

the dying,

the pyramids,

Mozart dead

but his music still

there in the

room, weeds growing,

the earth turning,

the tote board waiting for

me)

I saw the shape of my

wife's head,

she so still,

I ached for her life,

just being there

under the

covers.

I kissed her in the

forehead,

got down the stairway,

got outside,

got into my marvelous

car,

fixed the seatbelt,

backed out the

drive.

feeling warm to

the fingertips,

down to my

foot on the gas

pedal,

I entered the world

once

more,

drove down the

hill

past the houses

full and empty

of

people,

I saw the mailman,

honked,

he waved

back

at me.

无论是安宁还是喜乐

让它包围着你

在我年少懵懂的时候 我觉得这些东西

很愚蠢 而且过于真实

我愤世嫉俗 思想扭曲

经历了一个很危险的成长过程

我曾像花岗石一样坚硬

斜睥太阳

不相信任何人 尤其是女人

我把狭小的房间变成了地狱

摔碎和摧毁了很多东西

穿过玻璃 咒骂着

我挑战着身边的一切事物

我不断地被驱逐和监禁

在频繁的打斗和自己的思绪中进进出出

女人是用来折磨和责骂的

我没有男性朋友

我频繁更换工作和搬家

我讨厌假期 婴儿 历史

报纸 博物馆 老奶奶

婚姻 电影 蜘蛛 收垃圾的人

英式口音 西班牙 法国 意大利

核桃和橙色

代数使我生气

歌剧让我反胃

查理卓别林是个伪君子

鲜花是给娘娘腔的

在我看来 安宁河喜乐是自卑的表现

是软弱和混乱心灵的寄居者

但当我继续我的巷战

近乎自我摧残的岁月

跟无数女性发生关系时

我慢慢发觉 我并没有什么与众不同

我跟他们是一样的

他们的内心充满了仇恨

被无谓的抱怨所掩饰着

和我在小巷里打架的人都是铁石心肠

每个人都在互相一点一点地推搡着前进

只为路一些微不足道的利益而弄虚作假

谎言是他们的武器 但是毫无计划

黑暗是独裁者

有时候我会小心翼翼地让自己感觉良好些

我在廉价的出租屋里找到了片刻的宁静

只需盯着梳妆台上的把手

或者是黑暗中聆听下雨的声音

我需要越少 我就感觉越好

也许是另一种生活已经让我疲惫不堪

我不再觉得一些事情有吸引力

例如在对话中打败别人

或者是爬上某个喝醉了的可怜女人的身躯

使他们的生活陷入了悲痛之中

我无法接受生活的本来面目

无法欣然接受生活中的苦难

但是生活中的有些部分 纤细而神奇的部分

是供人询问的

我重生了

我不知道具体是什么时候 日期 时间那些的

但变化就这么发生了

我心中的某个部分变得无拘无束和圆滑

我不再需要去向谁证明我是个男人

不需要证明任何东西

我开始看清一些东西

咖啡店柜台后面整齐排列的杯子

或者是一只在人行道上散步的狗

或者那只在我梳妆台上面的老鼠

它就这么停在了那里

它的身体 耳朵和鼻子也随之停住了

一动不动 但又有着一种生命力

它的眼睛看着我 真是一双美丽的眼睛啊

然后它就跑开了

我开始感觉良好

我开始在最糟糕的情况下也感觉良好

即使总有糟糕的事情发生

就比如说坐在桌子后面的老板

他不得不开除我

我已经缺席了好多天

他穿着西装 打着领带 戴着眼镜

说“我必须开除你了”

我告诉他“没关系”

他必须做他该做的事

他有妻子 房子 孩子

日常开销 甚至可能有情妇

我为他感到悲伤

他被困住了

我走到炽热的阳光底下

这一整天都是属于我的 虽然只是暂时的

全世界人都被这个世界扼住了喉咙

每个人都觉得愤怒 不公 被欺骗

每个人都觉得沮丧 幻想破灭

我欢迎短暂而又破碎的幸福

我欣然接受了这些事物 彷佛他们是最受欢迎的数字

像是高跟鞋 乳房 唱歌 画作

不要误会我了

愚蠢的乐观主义是真的存在的

让人忽略一切最基本的问题

而只是为了自身的利益

这是一个自我保护的盾 也是一种病态的现象

那把刀子又逼近了我的喉咙

我差点又打开了那个开关

但是当好的时光来临时

我没有像在小巷里跟敌人打斗一样把它赶走

我让它们拥抱我 让我沉浸于中

我欢迎着他们的归来

我曾经看着镜子里的自己

觉得自己很是丑陋

但是我现在喜欢我所看到的

近乎帅气

是的 稍微有些口子和不平的坑

一些疤痕 硬块和皱纹

但总的来说 还不算太差

近乎帅气

至少比某些电影明星的样貌要好些

彷佛是婴儿的臀瓣

最后我发现

真正地为别人思考是无意间的

比如说最近 像是今天早上

当我离开的时候 我看见我妻子躺在床上

虽然只看到她头的形状

她的被子拉的很高 所以只能看到她的头的形状

谨记几百年以来的生命和死亡

还有正在死去的 还有金字塔

莫扎特死了 但是他的音乐仍然流传至今

杂菜在生长 地球在转动

赌金揭示牌在等着我

我看到我妻子的头的形状

她很平静

我为她的人生感到疼痛

就那么静静地躺在被子下

我亲吻了她的额头

走下楼梯离开了家

坐进我非凡的车 系上了安全带

开始倒车

感受着延伸到指尖的温暖

脚踩着油门

我再次进入了这个世界

驱车下山经过那些房子

它们要么人满为患 要么空荡荡的

然后我看到了那个邮差 按了下喇叭

他朝我挥了挥手

上个月原著作者David和Nick父子来我司座谈，趁刚看完电影，来回忆一下内容。

Nick & David Sheffs 父子印象

当时看到Nick第一印象就觉得发型和甜茶好像，不知是巧合还是谁抄袭谁。不过Nick也打趣说甜茶的发型在加州理发店很火，进店理发都说来个Timothee hair，甚至还有Timothee peach（纯洁的我表示根本听不懂）。Nick本人给我感觉是姿态动作都是美国小伙那种耸肩挠头，说话手舞足蹈，要不是面部略显沧桑，还真让人有种20出头男孩的感觉。这点甜茶在电影里还真的模仿的惟妙惟肖。

David衣着随意，一头精干的短发，眼神矍铄，直到讲起话来，才让人感觉到他的作家身份。这点史蒂夫卡维尔在片中，无论是外表还是感觉，都反差挺大。David说当时知道Steve在试镜自己的角色时别提有多惊讶了，他们俩第一次坐下来聊的时候，Steve向David保证，自己不会像甜茶那样每天10小时粘着原著真人来模仿。所以Steve自成一派的表演也是对自己演技自信的一种体现吧。

David Sheff & Nick Sheff

父子俩谈观影体验

比起对于史蒂夫卡维尔饰演父亲的overwhelming，他们两位对于当时名不见经传的甜茶并没有表现得多么激动。后来甜茶开始shadow Nick, 学习他的一举一动，他俩关系就变得很好，有时还一起冲浪。直到后来看了《Call Me by Your Name》,Nick说他完全被甜茶演技征服了。

David说当时知道Felix要拍后，特意找出了《Broken Circle》来看，惊为天人。后来他们看到《Beautiful Boy》成片以后，也都很感动。他们接下来准备去校园里宣传这部电影，目的是让更多毒瘾青年认识到自己并不孤独，完全有希望走出来。

Nick谈戒毒

Nick说当时吸毒是因为用毒品来逃避现实，他觉得自己是孤独的，没有人能懂自己。后来他能走出来，也是因为发现自己并不孤单，但是自己也非常幸运，有一个这样支持自己的家庭。他们身边有很多人就这样没有走出来，而英年早逝。两位都谈了很多戒毒的心路历程，一度让笔者以为影片会着重描绘Nick如何和毒瘾抗争的，结果发现其实是另一个角度。这里就不细说了，大家有兴趣的话可以看电影。

其实一小时的座谈，聊了很多，但是因为已经过去了一个月，加上当时没有看过电影和原著，所以比较囫囵吞枣。这里只写了能回忆出的一些内容，如果有出入，还请担待。

值得一提的是，当时台下还坐了一排主创，其中有制片人Jeremy Kleiner，主持人说最近几年能想到的好片，几乎都有他的参与，估计是皮特的好搭档？（虽然我并不认识）。Jeremi坐在台下略显局促，跟我想象中好莱坞大制片张扬跋扈的形象完全不一样，甚至一度还眼泛泪光，估计是作为艺术工作者都情感过于丰富细腻吧。

（撸了生肉）

茶老师的演技真的太厉害 不得不说整个电影确实很乱很没有重点又冗长，bgm也 莫名其妙 但是茶老师的part真的让人看到心疼，literally心疼，把Nic的绝望和挣扎都表现的很真实，还有吸完毒的状态也拿捏的很到位 茶老师前途无量

—————————二刷分割线———————— •第一次看的时候感觉配乐简直是生硬到不可理喻，二刷反而觉得配乐有种戏谑的效果（比如David尝试病毒的时候以及歌词和剧情的对应）

•David口口声声说他想要understand Nic，但他想要了解的只是他想像的Nic（所谓的beautiful boy）

•David做了那么多的研究去了解毒品，但是却从来没有试着去了解他的儿子

•Nic有那么多次都向David发出了求救的信号但是David每次都迟钝到直接忽略这些，然后再把所有的事都怪在Nic身上，就像他是一个完全尽职尽责的家长。David确实像Nic所说的，有很强的控制欲，他一直去“努力”的很大原因也是出于他没能成功地掌控局面（掌控他的儿子）

•Nic太敏感了太脆弱了，他一直一直都想得到爸爸（家人）的爱和关心（"I want them to be proud of me."），一直都想要一个家一个safe place，David的新家庭对Nic来说并不是安慰而是刺激因为弟弟妹妹们的生活全是他不曾得到也不会再得到的，他也根本无法融入根本无法在任何地方找到归宿感（爸爸从来没有真正试着去理解他，房间被堆满杂物，"be invited"），所以他只能把自己藏起来，自己去填补他一直渴望但是又得不到的东西（因为没有能力改变现实所以干脆逃离现实）

•这部电影其实说仅仅是关于毒瘾也许不太准确，我觉得更多的是Nic的心理疾病（抑郁症甚至是躁郁症），家庭是诱因，吸毒是结果（茶老师说过why不是重点但是我觉得why才是真的重点）

•二刷之后看懂了很多，不知道真实世界里的Nic怎么样了，但是希望他是真的填补了自己心里的big black hole（虽然觉得很不可能……）
