再次观看“音乐之声”
关于电影“音乐之声” (The Sound of Music),在D VD外包装上这样写道:“The magical, heartwarming true-life story that has become the most popular family film of all time” 。
这部影片以前就看过不只一次,印象中这是一部有很多好听歌曲的家庭生活片,片中歌曲“哆来米” (Do re mi),“孤独的牧羊人” (Lonely Goatherd),“雪绒花” (Edelweiss)都是广为传唱,很受欢迎的。
这几天再次观看“音乐之声”发现另一首很重要的歌曲,我不知道这首歌的名字,它在片中出现了两次,第一次是玛丽亚从舰长家逃回修道院,嬷嬷告诉她,她必须面对她的生活。这时嬷嬷唱道:
Climb every mountain
Search high and low
Follow every byway
Every path you know
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
The dream that will need
All the love you can give
Every day of your life
For as long as you live
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
第二次是在影片最后,他们一家翻山越岭,逃出纳粹德国占领的奥地利,在激越的歌声中,他们行走在山巅:
The dream that will need
All the love you can give
Every day of your life
For as long as you live
Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
我觉得这首歌象是主题曲。这个影片讲述的是玛丽亚寻找她的人生,以及舰长一家寻找回欢乐和幸福的故事。这个故事发生在第一次世界大战前的欧洲,但即使今天仍然为世人所喜爱。主人公玛丽亚的特别之处在于她精神上的自由和独立。
她让我想起另一个人,今年世界上最受关注的美国科技天才-乔布斯(Steve Jobs)。乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的那篇著名演讲中说道(中文版本来自网上):
你得找出你的最爱,对工作如此,对爱人亦是如此。工作将占据你生命中相当大的一部分,从事你认为具有非凡意义的工作,方能给你带来真正的满足感。而从事一份伟大工作的惟一方法,就是去热爱这份工作。如果你到现在还没有找到这样一份工作,那么就继续找。不要安于现状,当万事了于心的时候,你就会知道何时能找到。如同任何伟大的浪漫关系一样,伟大的工作只会在岁月的酝酿中越陈越香。所以,在你终有所获之前,不要停下你寻觅的脚步。不要停下。
英文原文:
You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.这段话和音乐之声中的歌表达的是同样的意思。乔布斯在这篇演讲中还说:
你们的时间有限,所以不要把时间浪费在别人的生活里。不要被条条框框束缚,否则你就生活在他人思考的结果里。不要让他人的观点所发出的噪音淹没你内心的声音。最为重要的是,要有遵从你的内心和直觉的勇气,它们可能已知道你其实想成为一个什么样的人。其他事物都是次要的。
英文原文:
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
他们两人生活在不同的年代,不同的地区,但他们的精神都是独立自由的,他们追寻内心的真实梦想,直到他们找到,对爱人,对工作,对人生都是如此。人的生命是短暂的,但精神却可以永存。
“音乐之声” 的歌曲悦耳动听,它讲述的故事意义深刻。
