Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a
fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc
players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol
and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments.
Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and
matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range
of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday
morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit-
crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose
rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home,
nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you
have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life...
But why would I want to do a thing like that?
这是1996年的电影"猜火车"那一段冗长却又撼动人心的开场白
而这句开场白不知打动了多少
物质生活充裕却内心空虚的年轻人
时年30岁的导演Danny Boyle
用这部电影纪录了90年代的青年人的内心世界
12年后的今天，Boyle以描述亚洲最大的孟买贫民窟青少年生活的电影
"贫穷百万富翁"强势问鼎电影各大奖项
我所思考的是
究竟是怎么样的社会，与怎么样的环境
能够造就出这样一位能深刻科化人性与人文关怀的导演?
看到最近的野草莓学运
不知道为什么，我开始想到了猜火车里的这些话
或许这些年轻人的怒吼...
并不是表面上"人权", "自由" 这些法律或政治上的语言
猜火车的年轻人们不屑于社会上既定成俗的主流价值观、主流体制
换言之
