In memorial of…
星期三那晚知道這個消息時真是嚇到了,
因為明明就還年輕,根本就還是導演壯年期,
結果卻過世,真是惹人不勝唏噓,
特別是他還算是我相當欣賞的導演啊,
畢竟拍過兩部我的大愛片:英倫情人與天才雷普利。
08年的好萊塢影壇真是星光不停隕落。
Oscar-Winning Director Minghella Dies
Tuesday March 18 9:20 AM ET
Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella, who turned such literary works
as “The English Patient” “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and “Cold Mountain” into
acclaimed movies, has died. He was 54.
Minghella’s death was confirmed Tuesday by his agent, Judy Daish. No other
details were immediately available.
死因後來出爐了,是因為頸部手術的併發症所致。
“The English Patient,” the 1996 World War II drama, won nine Academy Awards,
including best director for Minghella, best picture and best supporting actress
for Juliette Binoche.
英倫情人真的是我很喜歡的一部電影,
而且它對我而言有一個很特殊的意義,
就是因為這部片,我才開始認真投入看待奧斯卡這件事,
演變成今日的movie award/festival maniac;
那年我與兩個同學去獅子林(如今已變新光影城)看完這部片,
深受感動之餘我馬上就奔去買它的原聲帶,
也從這刻起,我看一部電影不只是看完就好,
而是開始認真看它的所有事情,
它的演員、它的幕後,以及它的配樂。
還是為他的過世感到相當遺憾~

曾與他合作過《英倫情人》以及《非法入侵》兩部片的
法國氣質派女星Juliette Binoche,為了悼念Anthony的過世,
特別為他寫了一首小詩。
To Anthony
I shall learn to live without you.
With all we’ve done and undone
with all the missing parts I’ll have to carry on hoping
you were the bedrock of fun, the laugh that made me laugh
and your hand came with love and care
I could see your thoughts going faster and faster
ahead in their curved complex understanding
your excitements became my excitement in the joy of sharing
my friend of art
you’ve gone missing
we shared a heart beating in this inner world of creation
and your ideas became real to me
I was your angel and you opened my wings
and you were the words I could fly into
my friend of heart
I will carry the unsaid
I will cherish my forgiveness until I see you
and please forgive me for my painful silence
magnetic eyes of yours with its sparkling needles
we dared a gift to the unknown
the search for truth in the battle of being
we attempted a glimpse on the other side
with joy with joy
