Living Out Loud
另一部看的心也空空的卻也脹脹的電影：Living Out Loud
記得片頭一開始，荷莉杭特從睡眠中的床上起來，走向窗外沒有太多猶豫的就跳了下去，這一幕就狠狠的敲在心頭上，記得看這電影的那一陣子，有曾經這麼樣想過，想可不可以就像個開關一樣，把一切都關掉，像那個縱身一跳，一切就都可以沒有了不見了，不過也像電影裡的那一幕一樣，就這麼想著、想過而已，生活還是一樣，有時就是那樣可憎的，然後在裡面妥協了或是學會了用不同的姿勢活下去。
記得這部片在台灣有上，沒什麼廣告的冷門片，也沒多久就下檔的。裡面除了我很喜歡的荷莉杭特之外，這部片是我第一次知道Queen Latifah的電影，因為她好會唱（是黑人演員都要這麼會唱嗎！？）。故事是Holly Hunter, Danny DeVito和Queen Latifah三個人的不同生活、愛情串在一起。好像大家都很用力的在生活裡面存在，而在愛情裡面，因為用力也沒有用所以學會了某種妥協或是豁達？生活可以用很多技巧來改善，可以練習，愛情在使了勁之後發現很多是習慣或是只能習慣…。像是片名Living Out Loud，儘管那麼可憎、那麼麻煩、那麼累，甚至是那麼矛盾，但都是真的，真的真的，大家都是這麼真的生活著。
Queen Latifah唱的第一首歌Lush life裡的歌詞就這麼唱著：
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
So I will live a lush life in some small dive
And there I will be
While I rot
With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
電影裡面選的音樂都很好聽且貼切，原聲帶也很值得收藏哦！
Lush Life．Music／Lyrics:Billy Strayhorn
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life from jazz and cocktails
The girls I knew had sad and sullen grey faces
With distingue traces
That used to be there you could see where they'd been washed away
By too many through the day twelve o'clock tales
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me
Ah yes I was wrong, again I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last year everything seemed so sure
Now life is awful again
A trough full of hearts could only be a bore
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it
All I care is to smile in spite of it
I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still burning inside my brain
Romance is mush, stifling those who strive
So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
And there I'll be
While I rot
With the rest of those whose lives are lonely too
