"Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs on hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate—he has little success in this—but with the other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than do the others; after all, dead as he is in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor. This assumes that he does not need both hands, or more hands than he has, in his struggle against despair."--Kafka

「文雀」之一——有關絕色美女

在「文雀」以前,從來沒有一齣杜sir 電影有一名女角的戲份如此吃重,整齣電影就是根本上圍繞著鍾珍妮(林熙蕾飾)而轉,擅長拍男人的杜sir,拍女人的效果又如何呢?

我們都知道,有些導演十分擅長拍女人,如Godard 的Jean Seberg,Kieslowski的Irene Jacobs,甚至是王家衛的張曼玉,導演和女性的化學作用如奏效,bingo,就是傳奇了。側聞現實中,林熙蕾是一眾男士們的夢中女神,她在「文雀」中於阿棋(任達華飾)古老相機鏡頭下留下的,只是一名面青唇白、驚惶失惜的女性,談不上驚艷,更不能說得上能挑逗勾引阿棋的其他兄弟為她賣命,這女角沒有懾人的艷光,根本就推動不了劇情進展。

錯在那兒?錯在她跑得太多,而且跑得不美,以致令人只感到她只有徨恐,而沒有絕色美女應有的氣質;錯在她與任達華同車同叼一口煙時,她沒有嫵媚之態;錯在她求人助她時,沒有楚楚可憐之態;錯在她改了一個毫不浪漫的名字;錯在她的髮型,時常披頭散髮,不見飄逸,只見馬虎。

「文雀」的氣氛拍得很浪漫,遺憾是浪漫的key person 女角不夠浪漫。
