Elliott Smith - Between The Bars



Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be that you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about the pressure of days
Do what I say and I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Drink up baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
Keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

everything is illuminated


everything is illuminated (2005)

" I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me...
... that everything is illuminated in the light of the past.
It is always along the side of us...... on the inside, looking out. "

小說的敘述是極奢侈的寫作,極專情,極度綿密,
以無間斷與無保留的敘述陳列了所有細節
(就像一個收藏者打開他的房間,裡面舖天蓋地地以各式各樣的物件綴飾了每一方寸空間)
在湧溢而出的細節之海裡,以幾乎是”感覺”的方式
瞥見層層故事底下感情
所散發的羞怯微光

電影將小說魔幻式的多重故事線簡化,聚焦為主角的尋根之旅
以第三人稱沉默而柔軟的凝視代替小說第一人稱的敘叨
成為一部真正的電影
以影像與聲音為角色服務
歷史的語言退隱而下
血與肉自紙頁飛躍而出,在真實的空氣裡獨自發現他自己的故事
