渴望被找到－chestnut girl的部落格

(以下內容涉及電影「聲夢奇緣」的劇情，敬請留意。)

一直想看 August Rush，想不到竟因沒留意「聲夢奇緣」即 August Rush，而差點錯過了這齣好電影。幸好 UA 太古城重映此片，栗子妹才能看到。

「聲夢奇緣」講述一個在孤兒院長大的男童，因為深信父母並非故意遺棄他，因而展開一段尋親之旅。在旅途上，男童遇上不同的人和事，最終助他圓夢。

因為電影與音樂有關，所以在配樂方面下了不少功夫。聽原聲大碟，只覺每首歌和音樂都那麼悠揚悅耳，教人迷醉。不過單聽音樂，始終不及配上畫面後觸動人心。

說到情節，尋親故事耳熟能詳，很難有甚麼新意，但很多場面的處理手法均非常細膩，容易令觀眾投入和感動。若要栗數最動人的一幕，我會選以下這段──

潦倒音樂家：你最希望得到甚麼？

男童：我希望被找到 (be found)。

兩個字，道盡多少人的心聲？沒有人是天生愛孤獨的，大家都希望有伴兒，就算自己不主動找人，也希望讓別人找到。可惜的是，並非每個人都會找到或被找到，這恐怕是人生最讓人感到無奈之處。

熟知栗子妹的朋友，都知道小妹最討厭守株待兔。與其等待被找到，為何不主動出撀？不過，並非所有事情也能做主動，有些事情亦不宜操之過急。是該主動還是守候，一定要三思而後行，就好像對待「長線投資」一樣。

Be found 這兩個字，除了讓栗聯想到痴男怨女糾纏不清的關係，還有職場上伯樂與千里馬的故事。記得之前自己因為升不到職而自怨自艾了好一陣子，當時我覺得自己是一匹未被發現的千里馬，每日望穿秋水，等待來找我的伯樂。

事隔一年，我終於明白到自己並不是甚麼千里馬，我的功夫還未到家，未能上位實屬正常不過。回望過去，我發現原來「埋怨別人」、「高估自己」是兩種很可怕的病源，在不知不覺間會侵蝕我們的神經，讓我們變得憤世嫉俗，然後沉淪，最終墮入萬劫不復的境地。

雖然情況好像很不樂觀，但樂天的栗子妹又想：幸好發現得早，還來得及治療。世間多的是先天不足的人，只要我肯比別人用心、比別人努力、比別人更能清楚自己的定位，機會還是有的。

希望，永遠都在自己手中。

好喜歡電影原聲大碟中，這首 Raise it up：

No father figure in the house
and I'm wonderin' how I'm gonna work it out

Oh my friends keep on tellin' me how I don't need that man but they don't really understand

There's far too many presures in reality but dealing with the pain and stress and poverty
and I gotta be myself because there's nobody else for me (ohhhh)

(Heading there with me) sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(so don't give up) so don't give up
(when presures come down) sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make you smile
(so raise it up) so raise
(hang in there with me) sometimes we need another helping hand to show the ways
(so don't give up) so don't give up
(when presures come down) sometimes it seems impossible and that's why we pray
(so raise it up) we raise

[HOPE] seems to be nothing left for me mamas gone daddy didn't wanna be and now im all by myself wonderin where is love or should I just give up

Life falls down on me, cuts into my soul but I know I got the strength to make it through all 'cause I'm still standin' tall
breaking through this wall I'm gonna give my all

[HOPE] feelin like a motherless child hankered into my soul its bringing me down cant find my smile on a face of a motherless child
I'm gonna break down these walls gonna give it my all ya know
yeah yeah yeah yeahhhh
(hang in there with me) sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(so don't give up) so don't give up
(when pressures come down) sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make a smile
(so raise it up) so raise it up
(hang in there with me) raise it up
sometimes it takes another helping hand to show you the way
(so don't give up, when presures come down)
[HOPE] sometimes it seems impossible that's why we pray
SO RAISE IT UP
