本質上、就其核心而言
Cinema, in its essence, is about reproduction of reality, which is that, like, reality is actually reproduced.Waking Life · 2001 — 第 9 / 13 章 · 3'39" · C1
桌邊兩個人越聊越玄:電影到底是在複製現實,還是記錄上帝的臉?一句 It has to come out of the moment(它得從當下自然長出),把寫歌、拍片說成一回事;後面又落到 be in the moment(活在當下)。想聊創作、聊怎麼專注當下,這幾句拿去就能用。
兩個人在桌邊聊電影,從「電影本質上是對現實的複製或記錄」說起,一路聊到電影本體論、道成肉身的神。中間有人發現對方身上有蚊子,問要不要幫忙打,隨後話頭又轉回電影:好萊塢想把電影變成講故事的媒介,最好的電影不是被劇本捆死,而是 come out of the moment(從當下自然長出)。最後聊到人很少把每一刻都當神聖,於是有人提議現在就試試,來一個神聖時刻。想聊創作靈感,可以用 come out of the moment(從當下自然長出);想說自己專注當下,就用 be in the moment(活在當下);被某樣東西牽著走,就說 a slave to(受制於…的人)。
這場戲看什麼
留意這幾個短語

有人拿寫歌作比,說作品不能先想好故事再硬做,得 come out of the moment(從當下自然長出),語氣像在糾正創作觀。

有人把巴讚的信仰講進來,說膠片捕捉的是 God incarnate,語氣認真,像在解釋一個神學詞。
And so what film is actually capturing is, like, God incarnate, creating.主語從句:what 從句作主語,意思是‘電影真正捕捉到的東西’;後面 is 才給答案。

But we walk around like it's not holy.取景讓人看見
有人把鏡頭的作用說成 frame it so that we see(取景讓人看見):把這一刻框起來,讓我們突然看見“啊,這一刻是神聖的”,像在描述一種觀看訓練。

Uh-huh. Well-- Well, let's do it right now. Let's have a holy moment.That's what film has. It's just that moment, which is holy.電影擁有的就是這個。就是那一刻,而它是神聖的。 把抽象本體論收束成一個可指認的瞬間,短句有落點。
But we walk around like it's not holy.但我們過日子,好像它並不神聖。 把“神聖”從概念翻成日常動作,一句就顯出人的麻木。
But who can live that way? Who can go, "Wow, holy"?但誰能那樣生活?誰能開口就說‘哇,神聖’? 用兩個反問把高調理念拉回人的承受力,節奏短促。
The best films are the ones that aren't tied to that slavishly.最好的電影,是那些沒被那套東西死死捆住的。 把“好電影”從劇本標準裡拽出來,slavishly 一詞帶刺。
意思是「從當下自然長出」。臺詞裡用它講寫歌:不是先想好歌要講什麼故事再寫,而是讓它從眼前這一刻裡自己出來。
be in the moment。臺詞裡說 you'd be in the moment,意思是把整個人放進眼前這一刻,而不是飄在別處。
「受制於…的人」。臺詞說太文學、太敘事的劇本會讓你變成它的奴隸,最好的電影則不會被那套東西死死綁住。
「道成肉身的神」。臺詞說電影捕捉到的是 God incarnate, creating,還說上帝顯現成這張桌子、是你也是我。
this moment, it's holy。臺詞裡就是這麼說的;還有一句 it's just that moment, which is holy,說的是眼前這一刻本身就神聖,不是隻有某些時刻才神聖。
