《真相大白》(Everything Is Illuminated)
2006年02月28日 2条评论
以欢快的节奏开始寻访历史，这在其他片中比较少。Jonathan的祖父为了逃避犹太人的灾难到了美国，当Jonathan的祖母年迈的时候，交给他一些东西，于是便开始寻访的旅程。
因为到了乌克兰，于是雇佣了Alex和Alex的祖父。
一路上风光无限，让本片看不到任何悲的气氛。
一开始就感觉Alex的祖父可能是个关键，果然。真相最终真的会大白的。
Augustine为什么藏起戒指，并写上“in case”，为了证明自己的存在？还是只是为了等待某一天别人来寻找？
或许吧。我们经常会收藏某些东西，或许为的不是让自己记住，而是那件东西跟随着我们，影响着我们？
故事结尾也是最精彩的，先是老妇人问了句：战争结束了吗？Alex的祖父吻了老妇人的手：战争结束了。接着是Alex的祖父的自杀，或许是为了自己屏弃犹太人的身份的忏悔，或许是想死在本来的地方，又或许，觉得自己应该和1024名Trachimbroders一起死在历史中。
alex的总结非常具有哲理：
I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past.It is always along the side of us on the inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. Jonfen, in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine. Our families will be with us, and our families’ families. Your grandfather. And perhaps, in some way, my grandfather as well. It is possible I will never know why Grandfather did this to himself. Perhaps he wished to bury his life along the side of his past. But I must tell you, Jonfen in this moment, he seemed, as if for the first time in his life contented to be where he was. Jonfen, I am sending you this because we have shared something to exist for. And, of course,
in case anyone comes searching.
in case anyone comes searching.
我们无论到了什么地方，都会看到一些熟悉的面孔出现，一些熟悉的身影的呈现……或许冥冥中有些东西一直跟随着我们，只是我们不知道而已。
p.s. 剧中的景色好美，好空旷，尤其是老妇人住的地方，房子周围就是向日葵，一望无际。要是能在这种环境下，终老一生又有何遗憾？好恬静，单单看电影都能感受到那种温和柔美。
