色戒(Samsara);Indochine

碰巧看了电影《色戒》(Samsara),女主角是钟丽缇。背景是印度,男主人公是西藏的喇嘛教僧人。导演是住在法国的印度人。

戏里面许多场景,让我想起前不久看过的"Odepeus". 一样的荒原景色,路旁的庙宇,奇异的河流,一样的不可调和的冲突,只不过 Odepeus 面临的是宿命与人为的冲突,而僧人面对的是此世与彼世、俗世与灵修的冲突。

我是俗人……离不开凡世的苦乐。日月山川有其美,音乐美术有其妙,可是,如果我都不存在了,那么,这一切对我来说,又有什么意义?

艺术是人们追求超越的一种方式。我们试图超越我们日常的琐碎,超越我们在人世间短暂的停留;可是,如果为了未来的超越而放弃眼前活泼泼的生命,那这种超越对我们这个个体又有什么意义?

Another movie that I could watch more than once within a week: Indochine. With Catherine Deneuve. Watch it in French and listen to the man and the woman express their love and pain in that passionate language - the language of love. :)

Ah! You just revealed that you are not a religious person. You certainly offer one powerful reasoning, but people with strong believe can also put up their arguments against you. Anyway, it’s always easier for someone with conviction to live a happy life. Those who cannot make up their mind or have to across the line suffer the most. Their journey could be the basis of an interesting movie, though. :)

Thanks for your recommending! I’ve made a mental note to check out this movie.

Haha, don't think you've seen anything that I havn't revealed elsewhere. Go back to CND and read my "Golden Jerusalem."

You have to finish watching the movie. The other side of the story is: one can reach the sublime through the most mundane daily exisitence. :)

Remember I've been reading Emerson nowadays, if you are really following my footprints. :)

看过这部电影,最后的结尾是没想到的。从另外一个角度评论佛教,很深刻的。喜欢看,看过两遍DVD。
