如果你问我印象最深的电影插曲,第一想到的肯定是《这个杀手不太冷》中的主题曲《Shape of my heart》。虽然有很多影视作品,会因为无意中听到了它的主题曲,而有想去看的的冲动。但是,这首歌在我心里无疑有着不可替代的地位。
这是一部大家再熟悉不过的电影,因为他的杀手角色的另类,因为小女孩的叛逆,因为反面角色的神经质,或者因为他们之间直到最后也说不清的爱情。
再或者,因为看多了各种狗血剧和电影,听了推荐,可是早已是“看破红尘”,于是,内心平平淡淡看了好久。最后却在我们的小女主种下绿色盆栽,说了一席话,主题曲响起之时,莫名的泪流满面。
我就是最后一种,在最后主题曲响起时,眼泪不知不觉流下,反应过来后,哭了好久,每一次看都会流泪,至于理由自己也说不清。或许,是不太了解爱情,也不太懂这种历史环境,只是觉得每个角色都有自己鲜明的个性,更是不太懂为什么电影所提供的环境治安是如此只差,为什么大家可以随意杀人,这种事情对于今天的一个长期生活在和平时期的我来说是不可理喻的,法制在哪里,公民的权利在哪里,这些如果没有另外去查阅或有相关学识,单纯看电影是会觉得不能理解的。
但是,就是在这种情况下,看着里昂为了心爱的小女孩而死,玛蒂娜把那株植物埋在地下,背景乐《Shape of my heart》响起,觉得这一切的混乱都终于结束,不管他家庭暴力也好,社会治安也罢,最后的终点是现在每日学习工作的自己也渴求的平和的生活,这便也化作了这部电影的起点。
想想自己的生活,不管是上学还是工作,无论在二三线还是海外,都是想挣着钱,然后过一个安稳的生活,自己想吃什么就能买什么,上个班可以定期涨个工资,偶尔还可以和家里人一起挑个地方旅游,不过如此。
电影是艺术,来源于生活,高于生活,最后也会回归生活,这样才算好电影,再配上恰到好处的主题曲,把内心的情绪宣泄出来,看完之后是觉得很值得的,很满足,可以品味很久。
歌词就像诗一样,可以品味很久——
He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He doesn't play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
And if I told you that I loved you
You'd maybe think there's something wrong
I'm not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost
I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that's not the shape of my heart
