82.关于电影《无依之地》

Reader86

Fern 并非 chose 去流浪。

原因：1，工厂关闭；2，丈夫离去；3，无力付 mortgage.  4，在一个被cancel的小镇内，留下是终日的惆怅；5，天性决定不愿生活在别人屋檐下。

Fern 流浪是无可奈何，充其量不过是 sad beauty，就像Musk要人类移居Mars，很伟大的事情，可是，第一批移民不能再回地球，听起来太很悲壮了，一般人不会考虑。

这样的流浪本来是打发日子的另一种方式，即便不boring，也没有激动人心的地方；因为，辛辛苦苦劳动一辈子，却不能买一幢属于自己立命安身的房子，她的心中如何想？因此出走时，Fern不会是怀着浪漫的情怀。由于心情和剧情，一路风光在电影中也不是艳丽灿烂万花竞开的春天，而是四处萧条的冬天。但文学作品可以让人从不同的角度看问题。出去流浪总比looting stores, burning malls, killing your neighbors 好。因此，Fern不能选择居家的舒服，因此她选择了人类的尊严。

Fern内心有着很大的空洞，无法填满才出去， 试图感到充实。只是出去后是否填满，或者发现空洞更大？电影中我们看到她发现了共同命运的人，有些交流有些安慰，可是这些路遇，能让Fern感到充实吗？她遇到一个年轻人，她没有鼓励他继续流浪，而是让他回家去，和女朋友呆在一起，这点儿可以反映出来，她的流浪是万不得已，有个家，有个伴侣，才是人类心灵的安慰，才是人类文明之后几千年来的进化。

流浪不是Fern的自由选择，而是没有选择的选择。因为人类自从有了文明，就有自己的尊严！

After taking a seasonal job at an Amazon fulfillment center, Fern moves on in search of other gigs. Along the way, she experiences humiliation when running into old friends and finds inspiration when meeting new compadres. The latter quotes lyrics from “Rubber Ring” by The Smiths and Morrissey’s “Home Is A Question Mark” while the former recalls part of Macbeth’s soliloquy. Later, Fern recites the sonnet “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?” by William Shakespeare.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? (Sonnet 18)
William Shakespeare - 1564-1616

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.
    So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

“Rubber Ring”

Song by The Smiths

Lyrics
A sad fact widely known
The most impassionate song
To a lonely soul
Is so easily outgrown
But don't forget the songs
That made you smile
And the songs that made you cry
When you lay in awe
On the bedroom floor
And said : "Oh, oh, smother me Mother"
No
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring
La
The passing of time
And all of its crimes
Is making me sad again
The passing of time
And all of its sickening crimes
Is making me sad again
But don't forget the songs
That made you cry
And the songs that saved your life
Yes, you're older now
And you're a clever swine
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you
The passing of time leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled (the passing)
The passing of time
Leaves empty lives
Waiting to be filled
I'm here with the cause
I'm holding the torch
In the corner of your room
Can you hear me?
And when you're dancing and laughing
And finally living
Hear my voice in your head
And think of me kindly
No
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring
La
No
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring
Do you
Love me like you used to?
Oh
Rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring, rubber ring
La
You're clever
Everybody's clever nowadays
You're clever
Everybody's clever nowadays
You are sleeping
You do not want to believe
You are sleeping
You do not want to believe
You are sleeping
You do not want to believe
You are sleeping

Morrissey’s “Home Is A Question Mark”

Lyrics
I have seen many shores
I hug the land but nothing more
Because I haven't met you
I've wined and I've dined
With every bogus music mogul
No sign of you
I've brushed and I've rubbed
Pressing palms exuding charms
But never in arms
And that's why home is a question mark
Home is some place I dunno
Home is a question mark
Home is some place I dunno
I have been brave
Deep in every shaven cave
None were you
Another film on replay
This time, "Hell" with Guillaume Canet
For wingless me
And that's why home is a question mark
Home is some place I dunno
Home is a question mark
Home is some place I dunno
Home, is it just a word?
Or is it something you carry within you?
I'm happy just to be here
If I ever find home
If I ever find home
If I ever find home
If I get there, would you meet me?
Wrap your legs around my face just to greet me
If I ever get there, would you meet me?
Wrap your legs around my face just to greet me
If I ever get there, do you really think I will?
Do you really think I will?
Do you really think I will?
How many times I've saved myself
