You're my only friend

晚上看了《Marry and Max》，澳洲的動畫片，泥塑的造型，灰色的背景，和女主人公的眼睛顏色一樣。

     動畫，不只是拍給孩子看的。

     豆瓣9.1的評分不是隨便抬出來的，都是看過的人對於影片表達的友情可貴的讚揚。Marry的父母原來也許相愛，但後來兩人渾渾噩噩的生活也許就是之後的

淡漠。我喜歡裡面的Max，他總是幻想著身旁有個朋友Mr Ravioli，總在看《心靈雞湯》，笑呵呵的。一個精神病患者，亞斯伯格症候群，痛恨別人亂扔菸頭。一個人孤單的生活，定期去暴食者交流會，最喜歡熱狗巧克力（麵包片加一大塊巧克力），永遠買彩票3-5-6-9-11-12，N年後中獎了，買了可以吃一輩子的巧克力和所有的Noblet玩偶，然後將剩下的錢送人了。

    喜歡裡面Max寫給Marry的每一封信，最後一封Marry擅自將自己作為病人寫進自己書中發表而祈求他原諒的，Max的回信自然是本片絕對的精華部份，摘錄如下：

      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 Hazelhof 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 don』t 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 glad i have chosen you.
　　Dr Bernard Hazelhof also said the everyone’s lives and 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.

     最後，信挽救了準備自殺的Marry，但背著孩子來到Max的96號房間時，Max在沙發上仰著頭永遠睡著了，桌上的凝乳，滿天花板上的Marry的信，窗口的打字機，鏡子前的Marry送Max的自己的淚水，第不知多少條金魚，記錄表情的Faces，Marry的素描畫，Max看著兩人的信件睡去了，帶著甘草和舊書的味道。最後紐約的燈光總算是第一次亮了。

     想起Gossip Girl裡面一句話，也是當時喜歡看她的原因：Love fades away with seasons, but friendships are all-year-around … …
