本对这部电影没什么好说的,只是单纯地觉得这段讣告写的很好。用词之华丽不由得让人想起那个叫GRE的考试。顺便提一下,Serendipity是红宝书单词,obituary也是。
Johnathan Trager,
prominent television producer for ESPN,
died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee.
He was 35 years old.
Soft-spoken and obsessive,
Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic.
But, in the final days of his life,
he revealed an unknown side of his psyche.
This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long-reputed soul mate,
a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with.
Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure.
Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences.
Uh-uh. But rather, it's a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan.
Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky,
the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times,
described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life.
“Things were clearer for him,” Kansky noted.
"Ultimately Johnathan concluded that
if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith
in what the ancients used to call 'fatum', what we currently refer to as destiny."
影片和Sleepless in Seattle内容非常相似,看了开头就知道结尾的那种,不过窃以为本片好于Sleepless in Seattle。看完Sleepless in Seattle我除了觉得梅格瑞恩干了件坏事之外别无感觉,而这片让我除了男女主角都干了件大坏事之外,这句台词还算让我这个台词控有所触动。
You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: "Did he have passion?"
