当我还是个幼童的时候,就知道了Peter Pan,幻想自己也能自由飞翔,去和海盗开战,去和hook船长战斗,这是童年记忆里的童话。
成长以后,每每看到海盗的电影,都会想起不愿长大的Peter Pan和Hook船长,和朋友划拳粉红娘娘虎克船长,也给孩子们继续说着Peter pan的故事,时光总不同,每个人都在成长,童话还是那个一成不变的童话。
直到有一天,当我看完英文原著 Peter and Wendy ,我才慢慢觉得这不是一个童话,是一个成人的故事,伤感的故事。每个人都是自己的Peter,不仅仅是童年,是每一个人在每一个人生阶段都不愿长大的那个人,不想告别校园,不想告别初恋,不想和亲人说再见,不想和爱宠说ByeBye,孩子们不要长那么快,白发不要长那么快……
周围的一切都在成长和变化,这世界变化的快,而我只想做自己的Peter,也许不会再飞翔,也许不再与时俱进,说着过时的话,做着过时的事,也许已经八十岁了,但还是那个不愿长大,长也长不大的Peter,在心里,至少是这样.
As you look at Wendy you may see her hair becoming white, and her figure little again, for all this happened long ago. Jane is now a common grown-up, with a daughter called Margaret; and every spring-cleaning time, except when he forgets, Peter comes for Margaret and takes her to the Neverland, where she tells him stories about himself, to which he listens eagerly. When Margaret grows up she will have a daughter, who is to be Peter’s mother in turn; and thus it will go on, so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless.
這幾天看了湯姆漢克斯的隱閉中年和小飛俠與溫蒂,加深了這種感覺:身體裡住著三個人,18歲的我,現在的我,八十歲的我~隱閉的中年,隱閉的老年,成年人的世界里,谁说一定要改变呢?要长大呢?
