困在爱中

This is definitely my favorite type of movie, a heartwarming romance with an artistic taste. It touches you in a natural way by telling a tale of a writer's family. We're all stuck in love in some way or another. Or at least once in life. First loves are always immature and impulsive. Rusty won his dream girl's heart with a punch in the wrong guy's face. He chased love the same way as he did with literary dream. Kate injected sensual pleasures into Rusty which he had never experienced before. Kate thought Rusty would fix her dug problem, but eventually she could only be saved by herself. Hadn't it been Rusty and his love, she would have gone astray prematurely. Love is blind. One takes a chance and risks it all to impress and express, in all forms of love. Love won't rust. Sometimes, people deserve second chances so long as they still care about each other. Erica and Bill went separate ways after they both betrayed each other in marriage. But long after the divorce, the husband couldn't move on but checked on his wife secretively and left a plate and place at dinner table for her. It was after Erica and her daughter made up along with the forgiveness and understanding between she and her husband that she was a family member once again. If two people were meant to be together, they will find their way. When Louis met Samantha, it was love at first sight. But not for Samantha. Her problem was pushing people away in resistance of love shadowed by her family situation. Louis was anxious and patient. He walked into her life after she witnessed coincidently the kindness with which he treated his sickly mother. More importantly, he really took time to read her soul. They ultimately became people who couldn't live without each other. What's more, she was no longer cynical, denial of love. All the characters in this movie are kind and sweet. A man may usually be known by the books he reads. Rusty, Louis and Bill are all sensitive and subtle. They tried their hardest to love, forgive and move on. They followed their hearts, meanwhile listened to lover's hearts. Loving the other person in the said person's way is what true love is all about. The three sweet love stories were integrated by the power of writing derived from love for others and life itself. Just as my favorite lines of the movie: "I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making. None of us moving, not even when the room went dark. Writing is listening for that beating heart, and when we hear it, it's our job to decipher it to the best of our abilities." Don't falter in face of love. Don't panic because you aren't loved. True love comes to those who wait. If loved by the right person, you will shine and turn out to be a better self because love can bring out the best in you. We can be stuck in love and saved by it. Be grateful and cherish.

最喜欢的桥段 & 好听得心碎的歌

电影好得简直想打十颗星！我所偏爱或者说一直关注的主题元素，在观影过程中全部以不作预设，（尽量）不带主观思考地呈现出来（完全客观是很难的）——家庭的分裂与融合、爱、写作。 在电影集中展示的家庭里，父亲是著名作家，在结婚前后因为一本小说声名鹊起，对姐弟两人的培养方式完全是写作训练的延伸，生活、学业、交友、恋爱，都是为了写作积攒素材。交流非常开放，父子关系松弛又紧密。父亲因为艺术家母亲的背叛而离异，却一直沉浸在妻子终有一天会回归的幻想中无法自拔，甚至偷窥再婚前妻的家庭生活，因为对方的吵架开心不已。不得不提的是，他在离婚后灵感枯竭，再没有出版过精彩的作品。 与父亲的执迷、宽容不同，姐姐Samantha对母亲的背叛一直耿耿于怀，伤害至深，从不原谅。她在餐桌上一再在父亲和弟弟面前贬损她，生活里疏远她，抹去她的存在痕迹，不发生有效、正常的交流。对母亲的恨影响了Sam的爱情观，在感情里，她从不付出真心，聪明不羁、放浪形骸，集邮似的和各种男孩调情、上床，她把这个称做为写作汲取生活经验。（在这一点上，父亲理解并认同。） 弟弟性格正好相反，他敏感、羞怯、才华熠熠、温柔专情，喜欢班里活泼的万人迷女孩Kate。这当然是典型的校园恋情套路，女孩永远有换不完的运动健将做男友，男孩永远羞涩，永远自虐似的暗恋（他还为她写诗）。姐弟俩因为写作速度、出版频率有暗地的对峙。（真是一种理想化又奇异的作家家庭）但他们一边因为写作得到了父亲的庇护（不关心日常琐事）和全部投入，一边却因为写作理念、主题等问题和父亲有摩擦。Sam是因为父亲插手修改了她的处女作，即使变得更易出版，她还是放弃了面目全非的作品。弟弟则是因为被父亲反复提醒尚未写出佳作，并称其为人生经验（主要是恋爱）匮乏的空壳作家。 毫无疑问，在这样的家庭中成长起来的少年全身都是戏。他们有才华、受到良好的教育，有父母的着意培养和塑造，而且家庭破碎。在父亲眼里，写作最终受助于爱，于年轻人而言当然就是爱情。这是他离婚后一直无法写出好作品的原因，也是弟弟无法在少年期出版新书的症结。 电影行进的线索也是恋情。姐姐最终遇到了她的对手，他恰好有弟弟身上的羞怯、热烈、才华、有趣，也是年轻的作家，并且从第一眼就认出、分辨出她。恰到好处的死缠烂打（对他的性格而言，是真的遇到真爱才会释放的天性啊），被反复拒绝后固执地反复出现，一点点摸索着打开她的心结（她因为知道两个人最喜欢的是同一部小说而逃避退却）。在车里那段音乐听得让人心碎（Elliott Smith - Between the bars ，强烈推荐），Sam终于敞开心扉地承认他们在相爱。这是我最喜欢的一个桥段。遇到爱人，而他恰好有一样的喜好，时间、地点全都合适，他有耐心化解她的所有阴影。 弟弟也征服了他的万人迷女孩，在姐姐的新书发布会上，Sam接受了爸爸郑重又感性的发言，却依然不接受妈妈的好意，甚至不想给拿着新书的她签名。因为Kate再次酗酒后混进乱交Party，一家人在寻找她的过程中达成和解。最终母亲回归，姐弟找到各自所爱，一个完美童话。 扮演母亲的Jennifer Connelly戏份很少，但依然精彩，她实在是很美，而扮演女儿的Lily Collins，和她眉眼还真有几分神似，选角很赞。Lily的表演也不错，终于脱离了青春傻片女主角的印象。最喜欢的当然是Logan Lerman，和《壁花少年》里一样，他聪明有趣、羞怯直接、热烈敏锐，是完美的爱人。他和卷毛Jesse是一个类型的迷人少年。 在电影里，写作因为爱而获得了灵感。无论是遇到愿意与之敞开心扉的男孩，还是以甜蜜开始，却在最后崩溃心碎的初恋。最终只有爱，让我们如此细腻、真实、痛苦、甜蜜。而由亲密关系造成的阴影和自毁倾向，背叛、离婚带来的持久伤害，想触碰又收回手的拒绝，爱人隐藏的另一面带来的触痛……最终只能因为爱获得拯救。 借用一位豆友的影评标题 ” Stuck but still “ , 困在爱中，却依然相信爱。 就用弟弟在课上偷看睡着的Kate时写的一句诗结束吧—— I remember that it hurts, looking at her hurt.

外表越是骄傲的人内心越是孤独。想爱，亦不敢爱，也无能为力。

因为她等过我，所以我相信。

纯真年纪的真爱。不顾一切地爱一个人，为了她我能够背叛全世界。他比她本人更爱惜她。那夜，他独自睡在了壁橱里，仿佛受了重伤的小兽需要找到一个黑暗而又有安全感的地方才能入眠。壁橱，是他和女友初夜的地方，是他青春梦的开始，也是梦碎的结束。

浮华年纪的真爱。总有一首歌会让你流泪，因为可以让你想起你最难以面对的记忆。

洗尽铅华的真爱。当维系他们感情的不再是年轻时的激情和彼此的新鲜感的时候，精神的互通和家庭的共识就渐渐变成了感情的纽带。精神的互通需要两个人成长的同步，家庭的共识需要家人尤其是子女的和谐相处，往往开始于美好爱情的婚姻最终都失败于成长的不同步和家庭关系的不和睦。优秀的孩子是家庭关系的润滑剂。

生命的丰美不在于你的脚步踏过哪里，而在于，你的心感受过哪里？

很多成人，身体里都住着一个残缺的孩子。他需要爱，需要被照顾，需要安慰。你无法摆脱他，只能将他藏起来，对他视而不见。你工作，你努力，你好好生活，你已经长大了。何时能和自己成长的隐痛和解，找到出口?

爱会缺失，但始终会到，只要你能等。

你的心感受过哪里？

1. 依然遵循一音乐一爱情. 考虑到已然11:30 需要的是一部不太长的爱情片.

2. “困在爱中”.

3. 再一次 无所不在 今夜两部电影都存在的 鲍勃迪伦.

4. 又一次 巧合的 关于出书. 我今天在思考关于出版一本身边人版本的现代爱情 记录普通人的故事. 以她为始 以我为终.

5. 好电影的标准是？ （纠正为 我喜欢的电影的标准是？） 给酒杯加注.

（以下记于周日）

6. 偷偷操起一整瓶红酒抿一口 笑到.

7. 在七日治完成酒后遗留的最后半小时. 因为酒后 无疑根本不知所谓剧情在说些什么 除了感叹女主有种似曾相识的无比美丽.

8. 豆瓣搜索告诉我答案：爱你罗茜 的女主 所以本片的入单缘由也就不言而喻了.

9. 影片最大的彩蛋 或者至少最后我清醒里的半小时里 就是斯蒂芬金的出现了.

10. 如果仅考虑最后半小时 无法高分. 但重新回看自己周五夜的评论 决定还是四星.
