给鲍比·朗的情歌
好久都没看米国电影了，这一部《给鲍比·朗的情歌》(A Love Song For Bobby Long)却让我们心动不已。老哥哥约翰·屈伏塔和斯嘉丽·约翰森（曾出演《迷失东京》）带给我们一段发生在美国南方天空下的情感往事。
听到母亲去世的消息，叛逆少女帕斯琳多年来初次回到家乡，原以为早已废弃的空屋，却意外住进了两名母亲的老友：鲍比·朗，一名退休的文学教授，以及为他作传的门徒兰森。这两个心碎的男人，多年前一次错误转折，造成他们选择隐居在这幢荒废小屋度过余生，生活的唯一动力便是兰森薄弱的意志希望将巴比的生平写成小说。没有离开的动机，他们三人被迫共处一个屋檐下，然而随着时间流逝，他们薄弱的结合关系面临考验，深藏内心的秘密接二连三被搬出台面，挑战着他们的底限，他们的人生势必被一场场突如其来的风暴纠缠在一块儿……
影片里一个关键道具是多年前鲍比·朗送给帕斯琳母亲的一本书：《心是孤独的猎手》，作者便是大名鼎鼎的卡森·麦卡勒斯，“她笔下的每个人都是绝对孤独的，再深切的爱也无法挽救这种孤独感。……《心是孤独的猎手》是麦卡勒斯的成名作，她所构筑的那个庞大而复杂的内心世界，充分显示了她在叙事和语言上的把握能力。麦卡勒斯在细节上是完美的，她所塑造的人物形象都有一种古怪而迷人的气质，每个人的内心都是绝对的孤独，当看到巴伯尔枪杀事件的时候，那种残酷让人心碎。”（via 音乐事情）
爱和孤独都是这样绝对，不同之处在于你是愿意忍受一人独处，还是两人相处——就象影片里的一首歌《我的心是孤独的猎手》所唱的：“恐怕我需要去爱，如果我还没有打算飞走。我在黑暗之中呼唤你，怀着一颗孤独之心的猎手……心是孤独的猎手，带着唯一的渴望，在爱人火一般的怀抱里寻找持久的抚慰。被不顾一切地饥饿所驱使，扑向霓虹灯影下的黑暗……哦，心是孤独的猎手，当眼前没有任何爱的影象。”
影片的原声专辑选曲精良，包括低声吟唱的民谣老将Grayson Capps、梦幻感十足的Trespassers William、甚至还有Travolta 抱着吉他来上一小段。

--------------------
Yesterday I had a dream... I could fly through the sky...
Then I woke up in a sweat... Not dead yet, But on the ground
I'm up in Johnson City Tennessee, looking for the real me
Lord find me over Ponchatrane, back to the land of sugar cane and summer rain
Nevermore shall we part.... Nevermore shall we part
A little girl was always told that life was time and time was gold
She took a little of the day till they went away and she was old
and she cried cause her gold was gone, and she cried cause she was all alone
And I'm hunting with a lonely heart
Crying nevermore shall we part, shall we part....
Nevermore shall we part... Nevermore shall we part
And all the those words I never said gently bled from my mouth
And I am ready to embrace.... this place.. where I belong
I'm afraid that I need to love, If I don't I'm go..ing to fly
And I'm calling to you in the dark, just a hunter with a lonely heart, a lonely heart...
Nevermore shall we part... Nevermore shall we part
--------------------
She came in lookin' good and lookin' around
She's checkin' out every man in the room right now
Don't go tellin' her about right or wrong
She's been alone way to long
The heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort in the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger to the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight
She hears him say "Hey, can I buy you a drink?"
And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring
She knows he's dealin' her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand
The heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort in the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger to the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight
From somewhere deep inside she tells him no
Before she starts to cry she turns to go
The heart is a lonely hunter with only one desire
To find some lastin' comfort in the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger to the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter when there's no sign of a love in sight
