我可能要被Alfred扳彎了


記得第一次看燃情歲月是大二的時候,當時刷榜單,草草看完後只是覺得音樂超好聽超應景,整個故事很大氣,女主好美。時隔三年再重溫燃情歲月,我卻深深迷上了Alfred這個角色。
      當初討厭Alfred一是覺得他乘虛而入,導致Tristan和Susan沒能圓滿;二是覺得他十分卑鄙,包庇殺死Isabel的兇手,對自己親兄弟傷人卻嚴格」公事公辦「。
      其實仔細想想,Tristan和Susan無疾而終哪裡怪得到Alfred呢,問題的根源在於Tristan對Susan本就沒有傾注太多的感情,在我看來Susan只是Tristan轉移自己傷痛的工具。對被拋棄的Susan而言,Alfred已經是超乎她預期的歸宿。以Alfred的能力,他何嘗會找不到一個可人的女子呢?選擇迎娶Susan,因為他是一個深情的人,這一點在電影中有多處映證:Tristan拒絕談論離去的母親,而Alfred卻保持和母親的書信往來;Tristan拋下Susan環遊世界是說走就走,絕無半點留戀,而Alfred面對Susan的拒絕時說出了」Is there any hope that you could learn to love me?「,在面對父親的質疑時說出「I loved her ! I love her still「,可謂柔情似水、一往情深。
      另一方面,殺人的警察為什麼只是被reprimanded(訓誡),Tristan毆打警察卻被拘留一個月,這都是有歷史背景的,以現今的法律制度來考量當時Alfred的處理方式顯然有失偏頗。要知道美國政府直到1890年,對印第安人的屠殺都還是合法且被提倡的(我猜電影開頭警長來找被通緝的Decker也和這個有關)。美國內戰英雄,聯邦將軍威廉謝爾曼就曾發表意見說:「如果我們今年多殺一點(印第安人),那麼明年要殺的人就少了一點——反正他們都得殺掉,或將他們作為窮光蛋的品種保留下來。」燃情歲月講述的故事發生在二十世紀初,可以想見,一個白人警察失手殺死一個印第安混血女子也就不是什麼大不了的事情,而平民Tristan毆打白人警察卻理應受到法律制裁。因此,Alfred的處理方式可能缺少溫情,但絕對談不上卑鄙。
      我愛這個有底線,有能力,溫情且深情,卻很可憐的角色。
        
      PS:我真的不是被Alfred深邃的藍眼睛給迷住了
        
        附:很有感觸的台詞摘錄
        1. Narration: She was not to blame. She was like the water that freezes in the rock. And splits it apart. It was no more her fault than it is the fault of the water when the rock shatters
        
        2. Alfred: Gentlemen, my father, for whom I have the deepest respect say that the government has neither wisdom nor humanity. I will then consider it my absolute duty as my father's son to bring both Wisdom and Humanity to the United States Congress. I thank you for your blessing father.
        
        3. Susan: Forever turned out to be too long., Tristan.
        
        4. Susan: I want her to die. Maybe I even wanted Samuel to die.
        Tristan: You had nothing to do with Samuel's death. And you had nothing to do with Isabel's death.
        
        5. Alfred: I followed all the rules, man's and God's. And you, you followed none, and they all love you more, Samuel, father, and even my own wife. I'd like a moment alone with her, Tristan.
        
        6. Alfred:(to Susan) Is there any hope that you could learn to love me?
        
        7. Alfred: I loved her! I love her still
