巴黎两日情

倘若是慕着“朱丽•德尔比”和“巴黎”之名才找《巴黎两日情》来看，那你搞不好要被这片子吓得倒退两步。在《爱在黎明破晓时》中，朱丽•德尔比化身为整个欧洲的文艺女神，跟你探讨诗歌、哲学和两性关系，宛如一个萦绕在塞纳河畔旅馆上空的轻盈旧梦；而到了德尔比自编自导的《巴黎两日情》这里，她决定让男主角陷入与一个女权主义文艺女中年腻歪的两性关系中，俩人住在她娘家，吃她爸做的炖小兔子，厕所的墙上长苔藓。

影片开场：德尔比扮演的玛丽安和男友杰克睡倒在摇摇晃晃的卧铺车厢里，“我们交往两年了，两年，真是个奇迹。”他们的欧洲之旅被快速切换的照片草草带过，这些照片大多毫无光彩、傻气十足，典型的“浮光掠影的表象”。职业摄影师玛丽安画外旁白：先强调那些照片均出自杰克这个自以为是的美国佬的手笔，然后她说：“在回纽约之前，我们决定在巴黎度过假期的最后两天，这是我的故乡。”

这样幽默感十足的自嘲和玛丽安的黑框眼镜扮相很容易让人想起伍迪•艾伦，接下来一段《安妮•霍尔》式的对玛丽安童年的闪回更印证了这一点，可不幸的是，“爱情应该像鲨鱼一样勇往直前，但我们手上握着的是条死鱼”，说这句话的也是伍迪•艾伦。

果然，大堆麻烦正在巴黎城里跃跃欲试地排队等候着，其唯一目的就是把这对情侣的关系推向悬崖。首先出场的是，当然，文化差异。我感觉德尔比在这部影片中玩笑得过分了，遇到个什么事情就要揪出来刻薄一下：从法国安全套的尺寸到巴黎艺术家的恶趣味（女性生殖器似乎是他们唯一的灵感来源）；从法国人对野生动物的好胃口到满大街的同性恋。别的地方也就罢了，可是，这是巴黎啊！多少人心目中“流动的圣节”，配乐不用手风琴也就罢了，只是那么多浪漫美景不说，专捡些犄角旮旯里的阴暗面来讲，花开遍野这里却是荆棘一株，未免显得小气，况且到了该严肃起来的地方，难免要显得突兀。相比于伍迪•艾伦镜头中入木三分的曼哈顿，更能看到德尔比的局限。

接下来的部分落入了法国爱情片枝枝蔓蔓的窠臼之中，玛丽安的前男友们纷纷出现在她的家里、宴会上、大街上、手机短信里，随之而来的是更猛烈的嫉妒、愤怒、猜疑……随着一个极端自然主义者在麦当劳里放了一把火，他们的关系终于在一堆唧唧歪歪的破事里瓦解了——法国和美国的缺陷在这对情侣身上展现得淋漓尽致。浪漫很简单，但交流不可能，真正的爱情也绝非易事。不过想到伍迪•艾伦的另一句话：“我最糟的一次性经历还不算特别糟糕。”于是释然了。况且，《巴黎两日情》中决不乏真挚和诚恳。

另外，这部影片还可以作为欧洲旅行的反面教材来看，它告诉我们：安排假期行程的时候，永远别考虑老情人的娘家。

这个星期唯一没有用快进看完的片子. 吃饭的时候喜欢看着电影或者喜欢的书,杂志来度过人生最美好的时刻之一.

自己觉得这个片子很有意思. 一个美国人眼里的法国. 的确,在去过巴黎之后,我才觉得那个人人都希望去游览的'浪漫之都',的确是太热闹,太吵了. 各种肤色,说着各种语言的人,在大街小巷,哪个角落都可以看到. 她的存在,她的风格,其实就是因为美丽的建筑,加上mix的文化. 那些来自不同国家的游客,为那些巴黎特有的建筑,默默的铺上独特的背景. 就像gare du Paris-Nord一样,无论是清晨5点,还是夜晚11点,永远都是熙熙攘攘的人.

影片女主角的男友,一个有才华的室内设计师. 我原以为美国人才是最开放的. 可是自从他到了法国之后,我才发现,他和热情开放自由的法国人相比,简直是内敛了很多. 在看到他去Party上看到各种各样的人,包括Gay时候的表情,我就偷笑起来. 这不就是法国标榜的liberté么. 法国人以最宽容的态度来包容所有处在法律条款中的人. 支持个性发展. 以至于,有些人到最后,已经走向了众人不能接受的地步. 当然,这些人中一些智商高的,当然就成为了蓬皮杜里边的'大师'. 剩下的,就各自为盟,组成风格不同的小分队.

当然我所关心的只是美国人眼中的法国. 所以忽略了电影中的爱情部分. 而且,我也始终认为电影存在着一个败笔. 我最后也没有看明白那个在美国生长的法国女人,到底是不是一个喜欢和男人搞暧昧关系的人. 不过,我也相信,恋爱中的男女,大部分的恋爱细节都是相同的. 吵架,分开. 基于长时间的相处,到最后和好时,都不是因为找到了承认错误的勇气,而是发现根本无法适应没有彼此的世界,所以,以往的怨恨,也就因为无法忍受分离,轻而易举地划上句号.

不过,通过电影里边他们和TAXI司机对话,吵架的画面,还是可以轻而易举地发现,这个电影,一直在走喜剧路线. 我的房东曾经对我说,只要会说'Bonjour,Merci',就已经很法国了. 所以,在每次女主角摔门下计程车的时候,都会愤愤地说一句'Merci,Au Revoir'的时候,我都会觉得超级搞笑. 以及上车就会跟乘客拉家常的司机们,都是这个影片的亮点,也是对法国人的真实写生.

      最后Marion的内心独白。
   因为这段这片子的基调一下从讲述culture shock跳跃到了有爱有温情。

It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing.

It hurts so much.

When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story.

I really love this one. When I think that its over, that I'll never see him again like this... well yes, I'll bump into him, we'll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we had never been together, then we'll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely.

Almost.

Always the same for me.Break up, break down. Drunk up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around. Forget the one and only.

Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one,until that one is gone as well.

There's a moment in life where you can't recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can't live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else's kisses.

很难想象感性才女Julie Delpy从<before sunset>起构思好几年完成的就是这么一部片子.

前一个小时基本在对话中度过但好在笑料不断, 很有Woody Ellen的喋喋不休和Kevin Smith式无厘头的长篇大论风格, 让我很是受用. Julie那个69年睡过Jim Morrison的妈妈, 和热爱绘制淫画并刮花停在人行道上私家车的胖爸爸也都是自然的可爱, 可之后的情节, 从Julie在餐馆遇到某ex后和Adam吵架分开之后就开始变得无聊, 情节也让我感觉突兀起来, <再见列宁>男主角在burger king里的fairy角色更是显得多余, 幸好最后男女主角的卧室谈话又回到了我所熟悉的那个Julie Delpy风格, 虽然语言平实, 道理俗套, 但毕竟道出了现代男女的交往结合的实质.

你在一段又一段感情轮回里break-up, break-down, drink-up, fool-around, 直到你累了, 终于遇到一个人you love his sneezes more than anyone else's kisses, 这话听着无奈, 却也真实.

最近刚看过Julie Delpy与Ethan Hawke的Before Sunrise和Before Sunset，从来没有被那个电影折磨成这样子，但是这俩电影却折磨了我整整两天，在想他们的每一段对话~

认识Julie Delpy就是从看了2 Days in Paris之后，不可否认的是她的确是一个才女，如果你不信，你可以去Wikipedia，你会看到她的一切，貌似就是为艺术而生的，还有一点就是，艺术天赋是需要培养和氛围的，她的父母给她了很多别人无法得到的东西~

很喜欢2 Days in Paris开头的那个风格，很喜欢Julie Delpy开头的独白...每一句话都想让你往下看，我知道，很多人并不喜欢这个电影，因为太多太多的对话，但是人的思想和意识就是通过每一句话表露出来的...就如同两个人在对话，我们可以通过话语感知到内心，她在想什么，她想做什么...

最美的便是结尾的那一段独白，我看了好几遍，如果说这个电影的精华在哪，我喜欢说开头和结尾，而且我更喜欢说结尾，每个字都会对心灵有所触碰和撞击，但那种力度恰到好处，能让你在回味的时候，感到酸甜苦辣，却又在回味的时候充满幸福感，这也许就是Julie Delpy的艺术魅力吧~

P.S. 有的豆友说很喜欢听Julie Delpy在电影里说法语， 我想说我也是！！！
