Il Postino（The Postman 郵差）這部電影在研究所的時候曾經看過一次，之後要再找來看已經找不到了。郵差描述智利左派詩人聶魯達（Pablo Neruda）流亡到義大利的西西里島上，與一位信差之間的忘年友誼。全片充滿義大利電影的細膩敘事風格，娓娓道來，沒有好萊塢片的煽情誇張。
我想來推薦的是它的電影原聲帶。事實上我是先聽了原聲帶聽了好長一段時間才去找這部片子來看的。原聲帶分為兩個部分，前半是請好萊塢大明星們，如Madonna、Juila Roberts、Sting、Glenn Close等人來朗誦聶魯達的詩作，襯上背景音樂。後半就是電影的主題音樂，大部分是同一曲子，以鋼琴或弦樂、豎琴、吉他等不同樂器演奏。
之所以長年以來偏愛這張原聲帶的原因，除了對於義大利這個國家的神往之外，主要還是這其中的音樂為我帶來性靈上的穩定感。我特別喜愛在灑著陽光的午後，泡一杯咖啡對著一本好書，並且播放這張電影音樂專輯...彷彿自己也身處於這個南歐靴子國家一般地毫無牽絆。或者一個人開著車享受鄉野的化外之趣，這張專輯也同樣為我帶來心靈滿足。

[延伸閱讀]茲貼上這張專輯中收錄聶魯達的一首詩 "If You Forget Me"。詩中對於愛情的刻畫雖然有些殘酷與悲傷，但卻也是不爭的事實。
If You Forget Me

| | I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine. |
