愛—-一个古老而永恒的话题

Posted under book, movie, pitcure, small world by autumnleaf

电影The Lake House改编自韩国电影《触不到的恋人》（中文译名：《触不到的恋人》）讲述了穿越时空的爱，尽管以这样桥段编剧的电影已看过无数，但是还是不可救药地喜欢。这样的影片总是让人觉得爱是世上最奇妙的东西，她有着让人惊叹的神力，足以带着你穿越时间和空间，让两半弧终究合在一起。

这让我想起《柏拉图对话集》之“会饮篇”中苏格拉底与众人探讨爱情的内容（“会饮篇”也被称为《论爱情》）。大家都认为爱神是最古老的神，原因是巴门尼德在描写创世时说“一切神灵中爱神最先产生。” 在讨论者中有一位名叫阿里斯多潘的人认为从前的人和现在不一样。从前的人是阴阳人，说的具体些，从前人的形体和现在的人不同，是一个圆形的东西，腰和背部都是圆的，每个人有四只手，四只脚，一个圆颈上安着一个圆头，头上长着两副面孔，一副朝前一副朝后，可是形状完全一模一样，耳朵有四个，生殖器有一对，其他器官的数目都依比例加倍。他们的体力精力非常强壮，因而要想和神灵比高低，于是宙斯和其他诸神会商办法，既能削弱人的力量，但同时又能让人类继续活着，因为他们不想断绝人对神的崇拜和牺牲祭祀。最后他们将每个人剖成两半。后来人被剖成两半之后，这一半想念那一半，想在合拢起来，常常拥抱不肯放手，饭也不吃，事也不做，不想分开。人与人相爱的欲望就植根于人心，它要恢复原始的整一状态，把两个人合成一个，治好从前剖开的伤痛。因此在阿里斯多潘看来我们每人都是人的一半，是一种合起来才成为全体的东西，所以每个人都经常在寻求自己的另一半。

多么奇特的想象啊，看来我们对于“愛”这样一个古老而永恒的话题将继续争论下去，因为谁人也无法告诉我们“愛”到底是什么，生物学家或许会给出他们对“愛”的生物学定义，心理学家也一直致力于对愛的对象，愛的产生等等内容的研究和探讨，相信哲学家也从未停止过对这一伟大主题的思考……

haha所以，可以推断一切与愛有关的电影作品永远都不用担心会缺少观众。

Future of Past?

          Because of a melody and as well I am curious about the reason why people love this film after 27 years, I watched the film —- Somewhere in time.

When the film ended, some thoughts came to me. They completely filled every corner of my mind. I would rather not call this film a love film. In other words, it isn’t a simple story which tells us some affairs happened between two lovers.

First, it is really an especial love story. It begins with a mistery. It is involved in a philosophy theory —- Time can go backward by control human being’s mind. Whether it works or not, it is obviously a creative idea at least.

Second, the story tells us there is a person being into existance and to appear in one day. This person is the one on earth you want to be with and is the one whom you can’t be without.

Then suddently I have a finding when I make the first point combined with the second point. That is , will the person we are waiting for come from the space we call it ‘future’ ? Or he or she won’t. However,is there a possiblity —-the person perhaps came from the past? Does a time cycle exist? The time cycle is that we Chinese call it ‘轮回‘. We have divided the time into three parts —- past, present and future for millions and billions years since we creatived the concept ‘time’. We even see this division of time as a common rule and observe it ever and forever.

Perhaps this problem have already come up with by philosophists or physists. Solving this kind of problem is their work.

To me, the person whom we are waiting for is the one who will come from future or who came from past, which is just an interesting question. Maybe it will soon disappear without the trace from my mind. Or maybe it will occure to me again at a certain moment one day.
