記 瑪莉 and Max

************這篇影評可能有雷************

我一定不是第一個為 瑪莉 & Max 這部動畫電影流眼淚的人。

越是看到近於結尾，心裡的波瀾就越層次不明。

整場的暗色佈局，尾聲的歌調。

每個人都會在漫長的心緒游離後趨向寧靜，趨向平和。

Max的病態，瑪莉飲著母親曾用來澆愁的Sherry酒。

當她最後去到他那裡時，卻見他安詳死去的面容。

我敲擊著鍵盤，就不由想到Max一篇一篇列印著書信的樣子，以及他心底的話語。

那上面久未觸碰過得 M 。

看著整面牆的他們用來完整生命的信，淡黃色有著甘草和舊書的味道。

他們都是不完美的人。也折射了現實的我們。

他們是在藝術上表現高度的，但卻是生活中平凡的黯淡的角落。

 

                        

Dear 瑪莉，

   Please find enclosed my entire noblet collection,as a sign that I forgive you.When I received your book,the emotions inside my brain felt like they were in a tumble dryer,smashing into each other.The hurt felt like when I accidentally stapled my lips together.The reason I forgive you is because you are not perfect.You are imperfect,and so am I.All humans are imperfect,even the man outside my apartment who litters.When I was young,I wanted to be anybody but myself.Dr Bernard said if I was on a desert island,then I would have to get used to my own company.Just me and the coconuts.He said I would have to accept myself,my warts and all.And that we dont get to choose our warts.They are a part of us and we have to live with them.We can,however,choose our friends.And I am glad I have chosen you.Dr Bernard Hazelhof also said that everyone's lives are like a very long sidewalk,some are well paved,others,like mine,have cracks,banana skins and cigarette butts.Your sidewalk is like mine,but probably not as many cracks.Hopefully,one day our sidewalks will meet.And we can share a can of condensed milk.YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND,YOU ARE MY ONLY FRIEND.

 

                                                                                                                                                                   Your American pen pal,

                                                            Max 傑瑞 Horowitz
