Brothers

翻拍的電影，但因為對納塔莉的喜愛，我還是非常期待。由提名Oscar金獎的愛爾蘭導演Jim Sheridan所導，查了一下才發現In America也是他的作品，In America我很喜歡，兩個都是關於家庭倫理道德類的題材，也許看起來就是那麼的平鋪直敘，但預留很多想像空間的保守方式很適合現在的狀態觀賞。

在這裡，除了家庭倫理、兄弟間的愛恨以外，也包括戰爭、傷痛所帶來類似精神官能疾病的問題吧。很難忘記Sam在深夜不停的試著將杯子對齊的那幕，他不斷重複地排了又排、排了又排，身處溫馨的家庭場合都感覺格格不入、對任何身邊的事物都主觀的產生焦慮、幽默感也消失殆盡，可能連開心都無法負荷，覺得有話說不出，快要把自己溺斃一樣的感覺。也許表面看起來平淡的手法，卻底下早已滿是沸騰。

柏拉圖：「唯有逝者才能見證戰爭的結局。」
而山姆最後說：「我殺了人了，我已經見證了戰爭的終結，我還能重新面對生活嗎？」

Empty Sky-Simon Wilcox



Don't.
Don't you stop, hesitate at the door
You're a country; you're a village
And I break down at your border

You always close your eyes
When you're trying to find the answer
You turn to me and smile
"Will you come a little closer?"

You see the skies are empty tonight
But I'll surround you when you're lonely
And you'll believe in things - that you can't see
Like air, and faith, and sometimes me.

Stop.
That's enough. Yeah we've been here before
You're a teardrop; you're an ocean
And I watch you from the shore

You always close your eyes
When you're trying to find the answer
You turn to me and smile
"Will you come a little closer?
