桥

《桥》，三十分钟的短片，却让我花了一个半小时来观看、思考。

影片所蕴含的感情不是简单的主线，而是各种复杂的生活侧面共同折射出的生活真相。

电影的开头和结尾构成一个相似的映照，开头孩子拉多的眼睛里对世界充满着好奇的观察，车站送别的悲伤情绪和纷乱场景，在他的眼里都新鲜的，尽管他不理解，但是却是欢乐而有趣的。

之后大量的父子亲情的描写，让我对这种经历无比向往。

单亲家庭，父亲有自己的黯然神伤，而儿子会讲笑话给父亲逗他笑，孩子的眼里能够对人的情绪有非常敏锐的洞察，但是因为缺乏经历，所以只能问父亲为什么。

而当孩子要求去父亲工作的地方，影片转入了一个高潮，意外，抉择，悲恸，任何言语来描述父亲所面临的纠结和痛苦都是苍白的，或许若干年之后，自己也有一个让自己爱彻心扉的孩子，才会体会到同样的感觉。

但是有一个侧面能说明父亲那扭曲的面孔蕴含着怎样的悲伤。

堕落的红帽女子，在看到悲恸的父亲时，这心灵产生的震撼让她能够重新拾起生活的信心。

红帽女子的曾经肯定有过无比悲惨的经历，而这样的经历让她觉得生活抛弃了她，她的内心是无比悲伤的，否则她又怎么会一个人流落街头，选择堕落吸毒这种生活方式来表示自己对生活的无所谓呢。

陌生人的善意无法点燃她对生活的希望，最后反倒是当她逃离自己的城市，一个人去流浪的火车上，看到了主人公，这个满怀丧子之痛的父亲，她突然发现还有人比她还要悲伤，还要无助的时候，她才明白，上帝或者生活并没有抛弃她，她还能够选择好好活着。

汤匙丢在地上，裸露的胳膊垂在窗台上，当她这样做的时候，我突然感觉到，她其实一直都是那么的热爱生活，我也就理解为什么她在火车站的月台上能够热情的向陌生人借火，调皮的和孩子做鬼脸。

原来就是因为她热爱生活，所以她和生活抗争。

写到这里，我想起了《麦田里的守望者》里的霍尔顿，那个满嘴脏话，自暴自弃，但是却真的爱世界爱生活的孩子。

影片的最后，陌生的城市，陌生的人群，红帽女子重获新生，成为人母，抱着孩子和父亲在这个陌生的街头相遇，形容枯槁的父亲，被这种幸福，这种自己曾经拥有的幸福所触动，脸上自然的流下或许流了无数遍的泪水。

他然后微笑，仰天的90度的微笑。

为什么？

你懂了嘛？

因为父亲的心中有爱。

影片无论是开头父亲抱着孩子穿过月台的情景，还是父子在一起玩闹的幸福，抑或是父亲在楼上和女子的玩笑，这些美好的生活情景都说明父子俩对生活、世界的热爱，因为父亲爱孩子，所以他能够爱世界，爱生活，所以当面临是否放下吊桥的时候，他能够选择火车上素不相识的陌生人的性命。

当他在陌生城市的街头，看到女子抱着孩子快乐的旋转时，他的内心也能够微笑，纵使内心悲伤怀念，但是仍然去爱世界，爱人。

而在这个时候，我想对他，也和我自己说一声：生活有无数可能，上一秒的幸福，可能下一秒就是悲伤，在这从激越到平静的过程里，你终究要体验万千滋味。

但是如果你热爱生活，那么你该不怕去体尝。

短片里温馨的音乐，无数分离的小场景，让我对这种生活的可能性、表象背后的故事充满着梦幻般的期待。

一瞬间的人生，孰轻孰重，还在天使般的面庞，父亲深邃的眼神和说不出滋味的笑。

短短的电影成了长长的人生缩影。

一念之间，大爱无言。

而只有自己内心知道所承受之重。

原来父子相依为命的幸福生活成了一个人颠沛于另一个城市的剪影。

心中那份伤，还是自己体会。

而最终时过境迁，温暖存于心底。

获得自己心灵上的救赎，放下回忆的报复，温存与内心最深处。

父与子，无言的爱。

由于种种电影或戏剧或各种艺术形式对捷克风光和波希米亚风情的描写，捷克，这个位于欧洲中部的遥远小国，倒成了多少中国人心中的梦想之地。

然而除了节庆时日的布拉格，其它地方其它时节，总是充满冷清。

就像短片里那座冰冷的大桥。

我游览了布拉格，途经一些小村庄，也去过温泉城，在人最多的热闹节庆时间，无所依傍地路过。

总觉得，繁华闹市，与我遥远无比，总是清冷。

记忆里的火车站与影片中的重合了，那些或成双成对或形单影只的人们，一个个故事重叠起来，讲述各种人间悲喜。

依依惜别的夫妻，短暂相恋而分手的恋人，吸毒的年轻女子，张着眼睛看这世间百态的纯真孩童，和他慈爱的父亲。

而我对捷克的全部记忆，也是由火车和火车站构成的。

暗夜下，年久失修的老火车站，斑驳的车厢里，穿着大红大紫的金发美女，斜斜躺在车厢里，我们走过，却是身边一只德国黑贝，忽然机警起身，直直瞪视着车厢门外我们这些可能的暴徒。

美貌的少女依然熟睡着，甚至呼吸轻浅的都好像不存在一般，黑色的网袜透露着某种妖娆的性感，亮红色的高跟鞋、脸上姣美的妆容，和身边大狗的黑亮皮毛，却处处透露出一种令人绝望的寂寞之感。

这几乎成了我对捷克的全部记忆。

那个在破旧的火车里熟睡的金发美女，和她身边犹如护卫公主的骑士一般的皮毛黑亮的狗。

这是我对捷克的全部感触。

而桥与火车，带着隐喻，通往另一个地方，通往另一个城市，通往另一种心情，通往另一场生活。

远行，带着离别，带着新生。

--话说，虽然是短片，但是配乐确实精道。

有没有人能找到那首红帽子女孩在墙角抽烟时的背景歌曲啊？

物是人已非，往昔若梦，时现也时隐。

“也许我总会有所发现，一些全然的不同，但那会是什么？

”虽然单亲，依旧幸福美满的父子，成长快乐，善解父意，知事懂事的儿子。

火车不徐不疾的行进、父子二人嬉闹地前行，拉多安静地独自钓鱼、父亲平常般工作，火车上众过客的喜怒哀乐、父亲的焦急、犹豫、无奈、痛怵，红帽女的迷失茫然、父亲的痛不欲生，冰冷的闸板口、渐行渐远的火车。

怀抱故儿低吟的父亲，日落。

徜徉在飘雪中的红帽女，仿佛沉浸其中，或许其已有所感悟，有所改变。

若有所失的父亲沿火车仿佛看到那些似曾相见过熟悉的面孔。

若不是片尾如拉多般孩子好奇而喜悦目光的出现，父亲释然般地仰面天空，本片便为一出没有希望的悲剧。

一幕幕的展现与交织，这就是电影的魅力所在吧。

人的内心都会存在童趣的，微笑因而会传染。

没有人知道这部基督教电影吗？

里面的小孩就是耶稣，父亲是天父（上帝），而火车里的人就是我们——生活在这个世界上的所有人，里面吸毒的女人代表信耶稣而悔改的人。

我们所有人都是罪人，都在人生的火车上按自己的意愿做着自己的事情，无论这些事情对错与否，却不知道耶稣为我们的罪死在了十字架上，用宝血洗净了我们的罪，拯救了我们所有人，只要信他并悔改的，就会获得新的生命，并得永生，就像电影里戒毒的女人

长镜头在影片中作用较大的有四处。

一为开头以小孩视角进行拍摄的长镜头，它表现了火车站的百态人生。

二为父亲与拉多在森林中游走的长镜头。

这一段本应是十分快乐的，但是因其色调清冷而罩上了几分悲伤的意味，从而为接下来悲剧的发生埋下伏笔。

三为父亲抱着拉多的遗体在火车轨道上行走的长镜头。

镜头慢移，随着父亲走远，悲伤的配乐消失，父亲的悲鸣声也渐渐淡出，继化为无。

一直以为大千世界，别人的事与我何干。

当父亲在自己儿子的生命和火车上所有人的生命之间必须做出选择的时候，他做出了最艰难的选择。

眼看着失去儿子，那种无力感悲痛绝望。

火车上怀着各自心事的人们，又怎么会知道，“为了你们，我杀死了自己的孩子”。

突然觉得，不幸的人应该很想让别人知道自己的不幸，告诉别人你们已经很幸运。

红帽子女人看到了，最后重新振作。

于是桥连接着生命，通往另一个世界……死去的，重生的，人们所追寻的……还记得你曾经与陌生人或小婴孩不经意的对视和微笑吗？

人与人之间的感情不一定需要什么理由才被关联。

这世界上有那么多的不幸正在发生，在安全距离以外的，谁真正关心。

我们看到别人的不幸，即使不能为别人做什么，至少把自己的人生活得更有价值。

坚强点，少点无病呻吟，多点人情味。

这个只有30分钟的短片，从温情到绝悲到重生，过度地一点也不突兀，穿插许多人情味小片段，结尾惊喜，极温情。

没哭，微笑着看完。

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV) *Discover …It’s a word that perfectly encompasses a world teeming with possibilities. Discover is a toddler’s amazement as she watches a bunny hop across the lawn for the first time … and it’s a young adult meeting that special someone.Discover is grasping an understanding of science—or art—in school … or in one’s advancing years.Discover is being able to see things from a different perspective, even if you don’t necessarily agree.Discover is finding hope that something better is coming despite what the current circumstances would indicate.At the start of MOST, we discover a forlorn man walking and talking … and hoping:“Maybe I’ll discover something. Something new.”Normally in a movie, we learn the back-story of the characters—what has brought them to the point at which we meet them. In MOST, we are immediately taken into the life of this man and his young son.As they’re walking through the train depot, we see Lada, the son, making eye contact with everyone they pass.Each person he sees has a story. While we only get a brief glimpse into each one, Lada seems to make a deep connection every time with his eyes.For us, our deepest gaze is into Lada’s life with his father. While their life is sparse on material items, it is overflowing with love. Their interaction draws us to them, leaving us wanting to know more about how they have arrived where they are.Set and filmed in Eastern Europe, MOST is the Czech word for bridge, fitting since the father is a bridge keeper—the man that lifts the bridge to allow boats through and closes the bridge to allow trains to pass.The job is a boy’s dream and on this day, Lada convinces his father to let him come to work. The setting is picturesque: a boy fishing on the river while his father works nearby. But their idyllic day ends abruptly as the boy discovers the train is ahead of schedule; he hears the train’s horn and sees its smoke coming closer. His father, however, he cannot find.The son knows he must do something, so he attempts to rescue the train—filled with people oblivious to their impending doom.When he fails in his valiant effort, his father must make the most haunting of decisions—does he save his son, or forsake Lada for the people on the train?In one heartbreakingly agonizing moment, his choice is sealed.For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV) *Jesus is often referred to as the bridge between God and us.Our sins have created a chasm that keeps us from God. The Bible shows us that the only way to bridge that eternal gap is through Christ’s sacrificial atonement on our behalf. God must choose between mankind and His only begotten Son.Without the ugliness of Good Friday, Easter is just another Sunday. Without the father’s sacrifice, the troubled girl on the train has her life end as it was lived—without purpose. Instead, we later see her in the city at the movie’s end, joyfully celebrating the life she has brought into the world … and her ownlife that now has meaning.It’s a discovery that allows Lada’s father to continue pressing forward with the hope that can only come from Christ, the ultimate bridge.STUDY QUESTIONS（本人觉得不管你是不是基督教徒，这些问题都是值得思考的）What was your first thought when you saw the train coming toward the open bridge?We meet a number of characters in passing in this movie. Beyond Lada and his father, whose story most intrigues you? Why?One thing nearly all of the periphery characters in the movie have in common is that they are oblivious to what is going on around them. The troubled girl is more concerned about feeding herhabits than about her sister’s anguish over her condition. The college students are thinking only about having a good time. Brad from America is only focused on his broken heart.Read Colossians 3:12-17Why is it so difficult for us to turn our attention away from ourselves and onto the needs of others?“… Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience”(Colossians 3:12). Does this come naturally for you? If so, give a couple of examples of ways this verse shines through in your life. If not, do you work diligently to do so?What do you think our world would look like if Christ-followers made a commitment to live as Colossians 3:12 calls us to live?John 3:16 is at the heart of MOST. Yet when we see Lada reach for the lever that would bring the bridge down, we also see vividly that 1 John 3:16 is equally important in the telling of this movingparable.Read 1 John 3:16-18What does the Bible say the definition of love is in these verses?While most of us will not literally be called to lay our lives down for another, we are still called to live sacrificial lives that serve others. What is an example in your life that you feel illustrates you living sacrificially?We see both the father and son finding joy in the seemingly mundane—on the job, drinking coffeeand tea, bedtime, fishing. After Lada’s death, the father is, as expected, dejected and downcast.Read 1 Peter 1:3-9Does God promise those that follow him an easy path?Soon after Peter states that Christ-followers will face trials, he says that those who believe in him “are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy” (verse 8). Why do we often lose our joy when things go bad? What can you learn from these verses to help you better live joyfully?What is the most challenging trial you have faced? How did you make it through?For some of us, it’s difficult to understand why God would require that his Son die as a sacrifice for the world. “… For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).Read Romans 3:21-26If you are a believer, how does this passage impact your daily walk with Christ?If you are not a follower of Christ’s, how does this passage challenge your thinking?Having had some time to reflect, what are your feelings about MOST? What will you take away from having seen it?

这个世界仿佛都在寻求一种总体上的平衡。

比如电影中，男人的儿子死去，而那个堕落的女人一刹那重获新生，或者说同男孩死去平衡的，更是那个女人儿子的出生。

是不是要告诉我们，这个世界周而复始，此处有生命结束的同时，彼处一定也有新生命的开始。

所以一切都不必太在意，于是一切情感都不要太用力。

因为，一切都存在于一个大的因果联系中。

月台上的芸芸众生，各自心怀忧虑。

或是分手，或是生活所迫。

当小男孩天使般的笑容经过他们的时候，每个人都感受到了短暂的快乐。

但是生活还是继续，需要吸毒抽烟的红帽子女人激发了母爱，但是依然故我。

波兰女孩的美国男朋友依然在追求他配不上女孩。

男人选择了责任，自身的痛苦却震惊了红帽子的女人。

生命的意义在于什么？

擦身而过的眼神，男人似乎又看到了曾经的天使。

情绪之间的相互感染让他认识的是生命的轮回。
