来自网友【恰】的评论I found the novel sitting quietly in the aisle of international literature amongst all other books by Elena Ferrante. It was such a small piece, barely noticeable if you’re not being careful. Picked it up by chance and I was instantly stunned by the heaviest content such a few pages can offer.回家才想起来之前在Netflix上看到的trailer就是这本小说改编的。骗子一直存在bucket list里面,直到今天才有空打开:Gyllenhaal一家都是天才吧!是怎么可以一个片子汇集了我最喜欢三个演员:Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, Paul Mescal。几个惊喜的发现是演young Leda的演员演过切尔诺贝利和I’m thinking about ending things (yet another brilliant small book)。看来她的vibe真的很适合这种depressed femininity 哈哈。还有Alba Rohrwacher也在其中,她即将在my brilliant friend里面出演adult Elena。迷妹的狂欢!It’s like everything you love all at once ;)电影的改编缩小几乎忽略的书中刻画的Leda母亲的形象的篇幅。极端的母亲角色对Leda在自己变成母亲后为什么会有自私独立的冷漠和努力做一个好母亲的情绪拉扯有很大关系。The lost daughter其实是在说Leda自己,偷走的娃娃也是Leda trying to be THE daughter again。电影最后的结尾Leda和女儿们大电话的时候说的是”Yes, I’m alive”但书中最后一句其实是”I’m dead but I’m fine.”其实更加符合Leda being depressed ever since motherhood. 但是通过偷娃娃的举动,Leda完成了自己作为女儿的旅程,重新接受了自己是一个母亲的无法改变的事实,对自己说:作为女儿的那一部分我let go了,我也许可以重生。真好真好。每每看到这种”unnatural” maternity的主题,我都很感动于其真实。上一部看到类似于这类影视作品的可能是《春潮》,也是三代母女的撕扯和纠葛。Ferrante也一定有一个强势极端的母亲吧,不然她的作品里面的母亲形象怎么都是这样的哈哈,一定是有感而发。Lastly, I’ve gotta say, Olivia Colman is GOD. 🙏🏻
