两出好电影

这个星期看了两出好电影。由于先前看过小说〖The Kite Runner〗，觉得电影的感染力没有小说来得强，当然，要在两小时内呈献整部小说的面貌，是有一定的局限。

The Kite Runner剧情介绍：　　《追风筝的孩子》小说2003年问世以来，感动亿万读者。名不见经传的作者卡勒德·胡赛尼（Khaled Hosseini）是一个普通的阿富汗裔美国医生，他因该作品获得2006年联合国人道主义奖。 　　

小说讲述了一个关于友谊、亲情、罪恶和救赎的故事：富家少爷阿米尔12岁那年和仆人的儿子哈桑参加阿富汗传统的斗风筝比赛，哈桑为保住风筝遭受凌辱。阿米尔目睹一切，却袖手旁观。后来他到了美国，负罪感多年未减。有一天，一个电话让他重回阿富汗。为了赎罪，阿米尔终于再度踏上久违二十多年的故乡，希望能为不幸的好友尽最后一点心力……

〖Away from Her〗是一出以老人为题材的电影，说的是患上老人痴呆症的老伴侣，面对生活的种种，非常感人，剧中所有的演员，个个演技精湛，尤其是女主角，非常出色。
可能是自己年纪的关系，感触更深，这是今年为止，我认为是最好的一出电影。

Sometimes you have to let go of what you can’t live without…Married for almost 50 years, Grant’s and Fiona’s commitment to each other appears unwavering. Their daily life is filled with tenderness and humor; yet this serenity is broken by Fiona’s increasingly evident memory loss , and her restrained references to past betrayal. For a while, the couple is able to casually dismiss these unwelcome changes. But when neither Fiona nor her husband can deny any longer that she is being consumed by Alzheimer’s disease, the couple is forced to wrenchingly redefine the limits of their love and loyalty, and face the complex, inevitable transition from lovers to strangers.
