本质上、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
桌边两个人越聊越玄:电影到底是在复制现实,还是记录上帝的脸?一句 It has to come out of the moment(它得从当下自然长出),把写歌、拍片说成一回事;后面又落到 be in the moment(活在当下)。想聊创作、聊怎么专注当下,这几句拿去就能用。
两个人在桌边聊电影,从「电影本质上是对现实的复制或记录」说起,一路聊到电影本体论、道成肉身的神。中间有人发现对方身上有蚊子,问要不要帮忙打,随后话头又转回电影:好莱坞想把电影变成讲故事的媒介,最好的电影不是被剧本捆死,而是 come out of the moment(从当下自然长出)。最后聊到人很少把每一刻都当神圣,于是有人提议现在就试试,来一个神圣时刻。想聊创作灵感,可以用 come out of the moment(从当下自然长出);想说自己专注当下,就用 be in the moment(活在当下);被某样东西牵着走,就说 a slave to(受制于…的人)。

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.电影拥有的就是这个。就是那一刻,而它是神圣的。 把抽象本体论收束成一个可指认的瞬间,短句有落点。

But who can live that way? Who can go, "Wow, holy"?但谁能那样生活?谁能开口就说‘哇,神圣’? 用两个反问把高调理念拉回人的承受力,节奏短促。
The best films are the ones that aren't tied to that slavishly.最好的电影,是那些没被那套东西死死捆住的。 把“好电影”从剧本标准里拽出来,slavishly 一词带刺。
意思是「从当下自然长出」。台词里用它讲写歌:不是先想好歌要讲什么故事再写,而是让它从眼前这一刻里自己出来。
be in the moment。台词里说 you'd be in the moment,意思是把整个人放进眼前这一刻,而不是飘在别处。
「受制于…的人」。台词说太文学、太叙事的剧本会让你变成它的奴隶,最好的电影则不会被那套东西死死绑住。
「道成肉身的神」。台词说电影捕捉到的是 God incarnate, creating,还说上帝显现成这张桌子、是你也是我。
this moment, it's holy。台词里就是这么说的;还有一句 it's just that moment, which is holy,说的是眼前这一刻本身就神圣,不是只有某些时刻才神圣。
