Lloyd Dobler: She's gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen
[Lloyd's letter to Diane] Dear Diane, I'll always be there for you. All the love in my heart, Lloyd.
Lloyd Dobler: I'm gonna take Diane Court out again. Corey Flood: Well, that's unlikely. Lloyd Dobler: Is the movies a good second date? You know, as a date? Corey Flood: Well, you never had a first date. Lloyd Dobler: Yes we did. I sat across from her at a mall. We ate together. We ate. That's eating. Sharing an important physical event. Corey Flood: That's not even a scam. Lloyd Dobler: What's a scam? Corey Flood: Going out as friends. D.C.: No, it's not. Scam is lusting. Corey Flood: I'm sorry, it's just that you're a really nice guy and we don't want to see you get hurt. Lloyd Dobler: I want to get hurt!
Lloyd Dobler: Why can't you be in a good mood? How hard is it to decide to be in a good mood and be in a good mood once in a while?" Constance: Gee, it's easy.
Lloyd Dobler: I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.
Diane Court: I just can't have any social life right now. Lloyd Dobler: Don't worry about it. We're just having coffee. We'll be anti-social. Diane Court: Be friends? Lloyd Dobler: Yeah. With potential.
Lloyd Dobler: I got a question. If you guys know so much about women, how come you're here at like the Gas 'n' Sip on a Saturday night completely alone drinking beers with no women anywhere? Joe: By choice, man.
Lloyd Dobler: You probably got it all figured out, Corey. If you start out depressed everything's kind of a pleasant surprise.
D.C.: Lloyd, why do you have to be like this? Lloyd Dobler: 'Cause I'm a guy. I have pride. Corey Flood: You're not a guy. Lloyd Dobler: I am. Corey Flood: No. The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy.
Lloyd Dobler: What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living - is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it.
Lloyd Dobler: Just knowing that a version like that exists, knowing that just for a minute she felt that and wrote "I can't help loving you". That has to be worth something.
Lloyd Dobler: Oh... you must think I'm a dick. Diane Court: No, Lloyd, we shared the most intimate thing two people can share... Lloyd Dobler: You shared it with a dick.
Lloyd Dobler: [leaving the last of a series of messages on Diane's answering machine] "Maybe I didn't really know you. Maybe you were just a mirage. Maybe the world is full of food and sex and spectacle and we're all just hurling towards an apocalypse, in which case it's not your fault. I'm been thinking about all these things and... you're probably standing there monitoring. And one more thing - about the letter. Nuke it. Flame it. Destroy it. - It hurts me to know it's out there. Later."
从Lloyd一句“I want to get hurt!”开始,我开始为他和Diane的爱情担惊受怕。 Diane是那种典型的优等生,保守、谨慎、自卑。其实大家喜欢她,只是不敢言表。 于是一个叫Lloyd的男生出现了,他心里没有那么多道理,只是知道我喜欢那个女孩,那个叫Diane的女孩。于是他在与Diane的第一次通话时就对她说:“Let’s go out!”,幸福其实就是这样不期而至。于是有了第一次约会后街边浅浅的拥抱,他穿着长风衣运动鞋,她光着脚丫穿着雪白的礼服。 Lloyd这样的男生是透明的,爱就是爱,没什么好掩饰的。 他却是长辈眼中的“distraction”,话说回来,这样的男生怎么能不让你distract。喧闹的舞会上,即使不在一起,他也会时时刻刻check up on她;清晨闲聊的街头,一句“watch out for the glass”,他踢开玻璃,然后轻轻拉她绕过。他冒冒失失,他絮絮叨叨,他在饭桌上那一番关于“买卖加工产品”之类翻来覆去的言论实在是有趣。看了那么多电影以后我突然发现一件事,原来我喜欢“话痨”一样的男人。从《缘分天注定》里的Jonathan到这部电影里的Lloyd。 非常喜欢琴行里那一幕,他抱着吉他,脸上挂着掩饰不住的喜悦,女死党们告诉他要送花写信以示尊重,他只是平静的掏出那封蓝色的信说:“I already did.”,那句“I will always be there for you, all the love in my heart”已经足够。而我们也只有像他的那两个女死党一样,用一种沉醉却又失落的眼神看着Lloyd,说出那句酸酸的“I have never got one(letter) like this. Have you?”“I dream about it.”而这一幕,也正好对应了前面,几个女死党在一起讨论“If you were Diane, would you fall for Lloyd? ”那一幕,现在看来,答案自不必说。 16周,他只是想好好的陪着她。就像他对Diane的父亲说的“what I want to do for a living is be with your daughter, I am good at it.”目的单纯,所以才会心碎。分手后,Lloyd一个人开着车,他用力的眨了一下眼睛,用手掌抹了一下眼泪,若无其事的看着前方,那种空洞的眼神,被那时的John Cusack演绎得恰到好处。他在电话亭里打电话,那件大衣湿漉漉的贴在身上,他苦笑着说:“I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen.”让人心疼。他跑去和一群男孩聊天,男孩们说着自己多了解女人,说着为了一个女孩不值得之类的话。而Lloyd歪着头眯着眼睛蹦出一句“if you know about women, how come you are at a Gas’n Sip on a Saturday night drinking beers with no women anywhere?”。好聪明的小桥段,比起让一个女人说出这句话,让一个男人说出来显然更是一击响亮的耳光,扇在那些男人们脸上。 在我看来Lloyd和Diane感情始终就好像一场情感不同步的爱情,你永远感受不到对方撕心裂肺的痛苦。当女主角在拳击场一遍又一遍的说着“我爱你”时,我只觉得厌恶,同样想问Lloyd问的问题“Are you here because you need someone?”。Lloyd一句“Forget it, I don’t care.”谈何容易。 “Ding”的一声,戛然而止,他们的爱情呢?他们会长久吗? 我的答案是——“不会”
这是我17岁暑假野营的一天的早上,那天早上我非常高兴,我也不知道为什么,虽然那时候我经过一个暑假的努力还是没有成为学校足球队的一员,虽然那时候我还是没有办法让暗恋的姑娘认识我,虽然那时候我的学习成绩差的一塌糊涂,虽然巴蒂斯图塔好久没有进球了,虽然我弄湿了袜子,鞋子里潮哄哄的,虽然那天我真的没什么值得高兴的事情,但是我那天还是非常的高兴,这是为什么到现在我也不知道。总之,当我看到男主角拿着收音机站在楼下的时候,我忽然想起来这种快乐,这是为什么我也不知道。虽然我减肥计划又失败了,虽然今天的股票亏了很多钱,虽然明天还有个该死的冗长的令人犯困的会议,虽然邻居还在放我听不懂的京剧,不过,当我看到晨光中那举着收音机的男青年的时候,这些都不重要了。

1989年的他,20出头,愣头愣脑,尖尖的鼻子和下巴,长长的睫毛,清秀动人。被当时的评论界称为“乳臭派”。
Cameron Crowe的导演处女作,这个炮制了《香草的天空》《甜心先生》《伊丽莎白镇》的导演对于情感变化的拿捏还真是细腻。可能是因为他早年做过音乐杂志编辑的经历,他的电影里,音乐总是和故事结合的天衣无缝。再说一句,他真的很喜欢用帅哥演员。
这个故事本身并没有什么太多的跌宕起伏,它讲的只是美国高中生的爱情,像所有的青春爱情电影一样,它讲述的无非是爱与被爱,青春期的张狂与叛逆。而一切却在这部电影里用一种看似散散的方式道来,连歇斯底里都是轻轻的,像一段心底的回忆,泛着让人不忍触碰的美好。男女主角一句接一句的爱情箴言在电影里像星火般散落,那样的闪闪动人。而从电影里我们又可以看到其对以后同类电影的影响,小到甚至人物的一个眼神一个动作。Lloyd高举录音机的那一幕早已经经典的不能再经典。让我觉得特别有趣的就是男主角Lloyd回答为什么他能约到Diane时,他挑着眉毛说着:“I’m Lloyd Dobler.”完全就是多年以后《绯闻女孩》里的那句“I’m Chuck Bass”的古董级版本。

后面剧透,慎入
从Lloyd一句“I want to get hurt!”开始,我开始为他和Diane的爱情担惊受怕。
Diane是那种典型的优等生,保守、谨慎、自卑。其实大家喜欢她,只是不敢言表。
于是一个叫Lloyd的男生出现了,他心里没有那么多道理,只是知道我喜欢那个女孩,那个叫Diane的女孩。于是他在与Diane的第一次通话时就对她说:“Let’s go out!”,幸福其实就是这样不期而至。于是有了第一次约会后街边浅浅的拥抱,他穿着长风衣运动鞋,她光着脚丫穿着雪白的礼服。
Lloyd这样的男生是透明的,爱就是爱,没什么好掩饰的。
他却是长辈眼中的“distraction”,话说回来,这样的男生怎么能不让你distract。喧闹的舞会上,即使不在一起,他也会时时刻刻check up on她;清晨闲聊的街头,一句“watch out for the glass”,他踢开玻璃,然后轻轻拉她绕过。他冒冒失失,他絮絮叨叨,他在饭桌上那一番关于“买卖加工产品”之类翻来覆去的言论实在是有趣。看了那么多电影以后我突然发现一件事,原来我喜欢“话痨”一样的男人。从《缘分天注定》里的Jonathan到这部电影里的Lloyd。
非常喜欢琴行里那一幕,他抱着吉他,脸上挂着掩饰不住的喜悦,女死党们告诉他要送花写信以示尊重,他只是平静的掏出那封蓝色的信说:“I already did.”,那句“I will always be there for you, all the love in my heart”已经足够。而我们也只有像他的那两个女死党一样,用一种沉醉却又失落的眼神看着Lloyd,说出那句酸酸的“I have never got one(letter) like this. Have you?”“I dream about it.”而这一幕,也正好对应了前面,几个女死党在一起讨论“If you were Diane, would you fall for Lloyd? ”那一幕,现在看来,答案自不必说。
16周,他只是想好好的陪着她。就像他对Diane的父亲说的“what I want to do for a living is be with your daughter, I am good at it.”目的单纯,所以才会心碎。分手后,Lloyd一个人开着车,他用力的眨了一下眼睛,用手掌抹了一下眼泪,若无其事的看着前方,那种空洞的眼神,被那时的John Cusack演绎得恰到好处。他在电话亭里打电话,那件大衣湿漉漉的贴在身上,他苦笑着说:“I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen.”让人心疼。他跑去和一群男孩聊天,男孩们说着自己多了解女人,说着为了一个女孩不值得之类的话。而Lloyd歪着头眯着眼睛蹦出一句“if you know about women, how come you are at a Gas’n Sip on a Saturday night drinking beers with no women anywhere?”。好聪明的小桥段,比起让一个女人说出这句话,让一个男人说出来显然更是一击响亮的耳光,扇在那些男人们脸上。
在我看来Lloyd和Diane感情始终就好像一场情感不同步的爱情,你永远感受不到对方撕心裂肺的痛苦。当女主角在拳击场一遍又一遍的说着“我爱你”时,我只觉得厌恶,同样想问Lloyd问的问题“Are you here because you need someone?”。Lloyd一句“Forget it, I don’t care.”谈何容易。
“Ding”的一声,戛然而止,他们的爱情呢?他们会长久吗?
我的答案是——“不会”
每个人总有迷茫的时候,需要一盏明灯让你看到希望。
这部经典而又简洁的片子正适合我需要。简洁往往意味着力量。
学习优异的女孩,和不优秀,但人品好的男孩的爱情。
别人奇怪为什么他能约到她。她说:因为他能让我笑。
他爸问她的时候,她说“第一晚,我们从7-11走出来的时候,他提醒我小心玻璃。”
他郑重其事的约她并告知她父亲带她去参加毕业派对,后来她发现这的确是她需要的。
他对所有人好,所以,大家都说他是好人。比如在派对上对JOE说,FLOOD写了56首歌,都有关于你,都有关于痛。他理解爱,尊重爱。
第一夜他兴奋地发抖,并写信告诉永远爱她。
他对未来有想法,不随波逐流,知道自己不想做什么。
在分手后,挣扎,但是还是八通电话,在凌晨举着录音机放着某夜她称赞过的音乐。这个经典画面是那个年代的象征之一。
在这个年代录音机已经是古董了。但是我有幸,小时候用过,这玩意很重,几分钟的一首歌是需要坚持和支撑的。他支撑着录音机。同时支撑着他和她的爱,他要让她知道,黎明破晓会有时。
这种古典爱情已经不可复制,现在暧昧,真真假假,逢场作戏太平常,但是影片最后给的答案仍然触动了我。
影片在IN ANY SECOND 中结束,或许,你会恐慌会无助,但是你知道IN ANY SECOND光明会来到 。因为有希望,因为有他/她在。
一个平庸的高中小混混,追到获得顶尖学府奖学金女生的几率是多少?在多数人眼中几乎是不可能的。但千万别忘了,那些学习好得出奇的女生,也不都是食古不化,其中也不乏活泼善良的,她们只是想在该学习的时间好好学习罢了。而一旦有合适的人走入她的心灵,有什么理由不接纳呢?所以,在Lloyd于不经意间踢走碎玻璃的那一刻,这傻小子已经成功一半了。
然而,Diane的生活中不只有Lloyd,还有她的父亲和学业,正如我们每个人的生命中不会只有爱情一样。而且Diane所面临的,是使父亲面临牢狱之灾的指控,是远赴异国求学的前程。这个理性的女孩子,再一次选择了也许并非她最喜欢,但认为自己绝对应该做的事情。这让Lloyd痛苦万分,看着他在车里抹眼泪的样子,又重新意识到他只是个孩子。
而就是这样一个孩子,在Diane遭受重大挫折后重新找到他时,说出了那句感人的话——
一个问题:你来这儿是因为需要一个人还是只需要我?……算了,我不在乎。
Lloyd,你双手高举录音机站在窗外的样子很帅,但那不是你赢得Diane的爱的理由。正如你所说,你给她的,是这一颗心。
