重逢既能再現(xiàn)已流失的日夜，令分別之后再遇之前的歲月散發(fā)出芬芳，又能讓淤積于內(nèi)心的思念光輝黯淡熄滅。一切不能歸罪于什么；它是重逢本身的過錯(cuò)。一旦男女努力使它出現(xiàn)，重逢就會暴露出模棱兩可的特質(zhì)。這樣復(fù)雜的情緒與法國人的個(gè)性有著異曲同工之妙?；蛘哒?yàn)槿绱?，Conversations with Other Women曾在舊夢蘇醒的夏天上映。

影片由兩個(gè)昔日的情人之間的對話展開。導(dǎo)演漢斯將畫面切分成兩個(gè)對等的部分。兩個(gè)人各不相干卻又從不曾分開。觀眾象旁觀者一樣，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)望著這對情人在分手后是怎樣選擇了不同的方向。因?yàn)槠嫣氐谋憩F(xiàn)手法，開場之后感覺不適應(yīng)。大約過了五分鐘或者更短的時(shí)間，從適應(yīng)到喜歡的兩級臺階就被自然越過了。全片從對話開始，以對話結(jié)束。剔除喜劇因素，它與《愛在日出日落時(shí)》有幾分相似。


這仍是一個(gè)略顯俗氣的故事：舊情人特意重逢，彼此盡可能幽默地談起分手后的歲月，他們殊途同歸地想到那條平庸無奇的軌道，當(dāng)時(shí)光列車啟動(dòng)時(shí)，她記起自己曾哀哀期盼鴛夢重溫。他在內(nèi)心也有個(gè)愿望：等風(fēng)波平息，再回到這里。希望時(shí)間不會太長，你我也不至于衰老….盡管失敗的感情在彼此內(nèi)心留下了挫折，他們?nèi)匀蝗滩蛔≡囂綄Ψ?。記憶，現(xiàn)實(shí)，溝壑，謊言，人物心路曲折復(fù)雜，影片卻有自繁入簡的單純。

 
男女主角的幽默和一點(diǎn)小小的神經(jīng)質(zhì)，來自對感情的反思和因之產(chǎn)生的驚惶。最終銀幕上的畫面合二而一，但男女主人公失去了重返愛的最后機(jī)會。為了這個(gè)機(jī)會，他們做了有限的努力，可惜因?yàn)槟懬?、猶豫和懷疑，重逢就象從沒出現(xiàn)過一樣。

F(man): Do you know why man chases many woman?
M(female): Why?
F: Because, they are afraid of death.


F: Do you know what attracts a man the most about a woman?
M: Heart?
F: Her mind.

F: Do you know what makes the man want the woman desperately?
M: Sex?
F: Knowing, she Wants him, as well.

F: Do you know the biggest secret that man has?
M: They all want a second, third... wife?
F: That, in the end, woman control the world.
M: Why is that?
F: Don't you know, everything man does, is to win his woman. Man bring food and money home, man buy flowers for woman, man work so hard to create his empire... yet they don't own the world. Woman, woman control man, thus the world.
M: ...



F: You know, I had so many women in my life, so many. I liked them, but I did not love them all. I love you, and I thought for a few seconds, I love you and I like you, which is rare.
  
F: Why you did not born earlier?
M: Because, you wouldn't love me as much as now, if I would. In fact, you might not even notice me or we might not meet each other. You might still drown to your casanova life, taking girls out like lighting a cigarette and tossing it before reaching its end.
F: That's not me.

M: That's not love, it's just crush. Rest for a couple of days, you will be fine. You will return to normal, like nothing happened, and you will treat me like another girl in life.
F: No, I would never do that. I look into your eyes, there is something, something about you... I couldn't tell, I couldn't figure it out. I know I love you.

M: I do not mess around with a married man.
F: I know. I understand that about you long ago. But there is just something, something in life you just cannot control, things are things, it just happened...

Girl: How are you two doing tonight? What brought you here?
F: Very well, thank you. This is our last night in town, so we are here.
Girl: Oh, that's great. So who is this beautiful, young lady?
M: We are just friends.
F: We are having a date. We are here only for the weekend, and somehow, I fell in love with this girl, and I am cheating on my wife.
Girl: ... oh, isn't that great? (walk away)
           


I suddenly realize, somehow, there are that kind of special women who can be attractive to classy men at any age in their life. No matter how old they are, they held up their head, and walk straight confidently. And those women will only taste better with age like red wine.


當(dāng)你老了

葉芝（英國）

當(dāng)你老了，頭白了，睡意昏沉，
爐火旁打盹，請取下這部詩歌，
慢慢讀，回想你過去眼神的柔和，
回想它們昔日濃重的陰影；
多少人愛你青春歡暢的時(shí)辰，
愛慕你的美麗，假意或真心，
只有一個(gè)人愛你那朝圣者的靈魂，
愛你衰老了的臉上痛苦的皺紋；
垂下頭來，在紅光閃耀的爐子旁，
凄然地輕輕訴說那愛情的消逝，
在頭頂?shù)纳缴纤従忰庵阶樱?br>在一群星星中間隱藏著臉龐。

只有我覺得艾倫·艾克哈特可愛爆了嗎？特別是刪電話錄音，還有偷聽洗手間電話那段，我覺得男人小心思起來，是極其可愛的~~~ 還有就是老男人的心是脆弱的....(堅(jiān)決不能找老男人！) 放著年輕性感的女朋友堤防著不敢愛，心里卻惦念著肚皮松弛的前妻...........女人似乎一旦長大成熟，就不再是小女孩了，而男人永遠(yuǎn)是小男孩。

后面很感人，飚淚了.....
"如果那個(gè)心臟病醫(yī)生覺得你又老又衰而且很丑，一點(diǎn)都不可愛，我愿意陪你走完最后的人生 ，我會陪你散步，喂你喝水，喂你吃東西 "....

都毫無Physical attractiveness，還能對對方產(chǎn)生沖動(dòng)，這才是真愛...... 只可惜他們相遇的太早，那個(gè)時(shí)候容忍總是一件困難的事情。

但是也沒有那么可惜，因?yàn)椤靶腋＞褪呛茈y。”.......

她說：“我愛他，但有時(shí)彼此相愛的人，卻都很擅長讓彼此痛苦。
現(xiàn)在的我很幸福，但是有時(shí)我還是渴望來點(diǎn)悲傷。”
為著那點(diǎn)被熱烈地愛灼傷隱隱作痛又強(qiáng)烈存在的實(shí)感，
她借得一個(gè)理由，飛越千里，回到當(dāng)初出逃之地，
見他一面，也一并緬懷已故的自身，在身漸漸麻木，心緩緩老去之前。
相識年少，可有信任完整交托，不用遮掩，大口抽煙或喝酒，放肆跳舞。
當(dāng)時(shí)年少，不知如何細(xì)致對待彼此，再回首已百年身。
他們隔著時(shí)光的空缺，試探對話，小心觸碰，安靜親吻，
在對峙之中，慢慢的卸下偽裝，袒露自身，卻仍舊不敢釋放內(nèi)心的熱切。
同樣角逐的，還有成年人的理智以及來自年少未澆滅的澎湃情感。
她身上的新傷疤，他未曾參與，雖然那曾是最熟悉的身體。
因此，天臺上，他們所構(gòu)想的未來，也只是沒有路徑的空中樓臺。
這本身，也只是一場有時(shí)限的短暫旅行。
那點(diǎn)悲傷的感覺，只適合當(dāng)平淡生活的一點(diǎn)調(diào)味劑，無法成為主旋律。
戀愛時(shí)是轟轟烈烈的這一人，而相守偕老卻是另一個(gè)某某。
在心力透支，喧鬧過境之后，甚至不惜收起華麗羽毛換取長相守的安寧。
或許，因?yàn)閻鄣姆至刻?，容易產(chǎn)生失衡與制約，
而淡如水的深情厚誼，更經(jīng)得起生活中粗糙顆粒的打磨。
或許也正是如此，沒有結(jié)局也便好似無法結(jié)束。
他們之間的愛，依舊飽滿完整的在內(nèi)心延續(xù)。
那就讓它永遠(yuǎn)保鮮的不接觸空氣中雜質(zhì)的化學(xué)反應(yīng)吧。
時(shí)鐘滴答，她是灰姑娘，丟掉美麗的伴娘禮服，回歸現(xiàn)實(shí)生活。
喜歡這個(gè)結(jié)局，收拾行裝與情緒，安靜離場。
已經(jīng)分道的兩條軌跡，只需相望與遙祝，無需再糾葛或交集。
就當(dāng)彼此，是一場好夢。
Good Night!
