读过《A Single Man》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
Tom Ford和Colin Firth的George是从头到尾的优雅，温柔而深重的哀伤，以标准艺术作品的形式，呈现的是情感本身。像是带有一丝自毁意识的贵族精神，矜持地令人痛心。这时，“单身”是一个形容词。Isherwood的George优雅中带有狡黠和辛辣，他是情感的躯体化，是去艺术而贴近生活的情感的载体，万千情感潮汐一般次第涌过，看到的是他表面上一切照旧的生活。这时，“单身”是一个人。无论是哪种诠释方式，我最喜欢的还是那些生活的小细节，哀伤从不以宣扬的方式昭显自己的存在，而是在无数你避之不及的琐碎里一遍又一遍旁若无人地路过。原著文字真美，对照着一起看的50周年典藏纪念版翻译简直可以说是车祸现场了。
