《Cashback》是可觀性高的電影。電影的鏡頭運用凝聚了很深層的意念:所謂愛情是甚樣的?與時間又有甚麼關係?在一轉念與一個凝視之間,發生了的東西不能以任何方式回頭,在一剎那間,就註定了。
愛情是某一個人悄然間掀起的一陣風,那一個舉手投足的動作,不造作的,已經是最美麗的。男主角能夠捕捉Saron的姿態,只有愛才能做到,如果你愛一個人,那個人便是美麗的。
電影本身是導演的一套短片。電影把時間拉長了,於是意念的穿插和時間距離很難處理得好,我相信用短片會有另一番感覺,或許可以令主題處理得更有詩意,想像空間更廣闊。
我覺得《Cashback》和另一齣電影《The Science of Sleep》有點相似。後者的男主角分不出現實與夢境,在睡眠中的夢構想現實生活中的種種,希望在夢中展開了奇幻的想像,包括渴望了解愛情。
片中的歌《If you rescue me》,低迴如夢話的聲音,溫柔的歌詞,我很喜歡。
If you rescue me(From "The Science of Sleep"OST)
If you rescue me, i'll be your friend forever.
Let me in your bed, i'll keep you warm in winter.
All the kitties are playing and are having such fun,
I wish it could happen to me.
But if you rescue me, i'll never have to be alone again.
All the cars drive so fast and the people are mean and sometimes its hard to find food.
Let me into your world, i'll keep you warm and amused.
All the things we can do in the rain!
If you rescue me i'll be your friend forever
Let me in your bed, i'll keep you warm in winter
Oh some day I know someone will look into my eyes and say
"Hello, You're my very special kitten"
So if you rescue me,
I'll never have to be alone again
I'll never have to be alone again"
聽著聽著
我也會想像自己是流落街頭的一隻貓
後來被人抱起,然後被暖笠笠地呵護著呢
