听说过《山楂树之恋》这本书，看到网上对此片的或好或差的影评，决定自己去看一眼，于是第一次进影院看了老谋子的电影，结果还是失望了。
    没看过原著，所以不敢对剧情说啥。但是宣传说“最干净的中国式爱情”，对于电影的表现来说，完全没有这种感觉。电影里的静秋和老三见面了，观众还不知道发生啥，就莫名其妙地互相喜欢了；静秋只是的一味地柔弱，任何事情都只是顺从，老三倒是送这送那，还经常偷偷在静秋身边看她，确实表现出了那种爱情。只是怎么都不明白，老三为啥就会那么喜欢静秋？几个黑屏字幕就算了？所谓“干净的爱情”，也只是那个年代观念不开放、少女的“无知”造成的假象，仅此而已。如果说老三对静秋的执著、共枕而不发生什么、生了大病离开之前还要让静秋感动一把的爱情就叫干净，那这个世界上有着无数比这更纯净的爱情。
    故事本身是在文革的时代背景下的，老谋子的《活着》是相当赞的。然而在《山楂》里，时代背景弱得可以说是没有时代背景。光喊几句毛主席语录，唱了个苏联的歌曲，就没啥了。那个时代的爱情和阶级、成分有关，电影里提是提到了，但完全弱化了，看上去更多的是担心“失业”问题。在这方面，相当失望。
不过电影也不是一无是处。
    很多人说这部电影没有以往老谋子的美丽的画面了。我倒觉得还好。毕竟在那个年代，无论是农村还是城市，更多的是朴素的颜色，不可能搞得花里胡哨的。某一些镜头还是很有美感的。
    电影的音乐也比较赞。
    而我更多的体会在于，作为一个在农村里长大的人，看到那么多“老东西”，很怀旧。生火的老式炉灶，农家的四方桌，村子里的小路，甚至布店里结账的传送夹子，很多东西让我想起小时候的点点滴滴。怪不得有很多老年人也来看这部电影。
    给我印象最深的是村长孙女、静秋的弟弟和妹妹纯真的笑容，真的很纯。这反倒超越了静秋和老三之间的爱情，也说明电影在我心中的失败了吧。

    从开始看Everwood到现在，有一两年了吧，趁着美剧的空档，陆陆续续把这一部非典型的美剧看完了。
    这是一部我非常喜欢的美剧，它没有太多悬疑、没有什么惊险、甚至几乎没有开放的美国精神，只有家庭、朋友、爱情的矛盾和温馨。Everwood, 一个远离城市的小镇，在雪山脚下，生活其中的人们都很传统甚至保守，但是他们有着不一样的生活。它，我们中国人叫它雪山镇。同事说，正因为这是一部“反”美国精神的剧集，所以收视不佳，到第四季就结尾了。不过也好，四个season，不那么冗长，也足够口味它的温情。现在看完了，总想写点东西。
    就摘一些最后一集里的话语，作为告别吧——

(！！小心剧透！！）
From Jake —
  Life is supposed to surprise you. I bet you’ve got a picture in your mind, about how everything’s gonna turn out for you, what you’re gonna do, who you’re gonna be with. But there are windows that don’t stay open forever, missed opportunities that never come back to you. And waiting for them doesn’t necessarily mean you’re strong, or even right. Sometimes it just means that you’re afraid to change the picture.

From Andy —
  I’ve changed a lot, Julia. I’ve learned that being a good friend and a good parent are the only things that make you sleep better at night. I’ve learned that what bothers you about your kids is whatever you have in common with them, and what you love about them most is the stuff that you have absolutely nothing to do with. I’ve learned that pain and suffering are unavoidable, but ultimately they are what bring you closer to other people. And lately I’ve learned that it’s possible to fall in love again. I tried hard not to. I really did. It’s so unfair to you, you know? It was you I wanted to be this guy for. I’m just so sorry I couldn’t when you were alive.

From Amy —
  Four years ago, you came to my little town, and you changed my life. I never thought one person could do that to another, but you did. From the moment that I met you and each moment after that, somehow everything that happened to me kept coming back to you. I remember everything about us, that’s the thing. Every time I try to forget the feelings I have for you, they keep coming back, and now they’re back. I don’t want to push them down anymore. I don’t want to run away from us, ’cause I never want to lose you again. I just want to be with you, next to you, wherever you are. I’m sorry that it took me so long to figure it out, because I hate all of the time that we lost.

From Ephram —
  I love you, too. I knew it then. I know it now. I’ll know it always. You’re it, Amy. You’re my one… You always have been.
