B. 看《心花路放》，品《杯酒人生》（两部电影的15个异曲同工之处）
此影评有剧透，介意者慎入~~
看 《心花路放》 （以下简称《心》），有些细节和设置，似曾相识，令我想起另一部看了好几遍的美国影片 Sideways（《杯酒人生》 ，以下简称《杯》）。对比总结向来是我的爱好，一通比较研究之后，发现两部影片有以下15个异曲同工之处：
一、都是公路片，都是沿途风景秀美的公路，一部在美国加州洛杉矶一带，一部在中国西南大理一带，音乐也都很“在路上”。
二、都是两个好基友的脱单之旅。都是一个放荡、荷尔蒙过剩、见了姑娘直奔主题；一个失意、自信心不足、美女当前心灰意冷。都是两基友一路嘴仗互损不止，实则恰好表达了两人的铁杆友谊。
三、放荡的那个都是花心男，晚婚适龄但尚不甘一棵树上吊死，职业都与影视行业有关（一个是演员，一个是剧组工作人员），外形略胜于失意男所以对女性同胞的杀伤力也略高一筹；失意的那个都是文艺男，不折不扣文艺工作者，一个是出书难产的业余作家，一个是迫于生计改行卖二手音响的创作型歌手，都是老婆跟别人跑了，事业也不顺遂。
四、失意男心中的失意不爽郁结难化，都曾有发飙失态表现，一个在医院，一个在葡萄酒庄。
五、失意男旅途中都数次想要回家，表示不玩了，都是花心男耐心开展思想工作，用眼前的美女做为激励，好言相劝或软硬兼施说服留下。
六、都有分套套一幕，都是花心男拿出四个套套，一个分给朋友，三个留给自己。留给自己的都不够用，分给兄弟的那个都没用上。
七、当失意男听说前妻再婚消息时的悲伤和难以接受都如出一辙，可见都还处在对前妻的深深留恋中，根本没有从失败的婚姻走出来和放下过去。
八、旅途中都有一位基友挂彩，另一位基友横空出世、鼎力相助。
九、经历一番痛苦挣扎，失意男都对伤心过往做了了断。《心》里耿浩去了大理梧桐客栈，擦掉了他和前妻初遇时在留言墙上所写的“耿浩对不起康小雨”，改成了“耿浩祝福康小雨”；《杯》里Miles在一家快餐店独自喝掉了珍藏多年、本想与他的前妻十周年结婚纪念时一起分享的一支1961年白马酒庄（Château Cheval Blanc）红酒。尽管心理还有伤痕，但在仪式上总算是向过去正式做了一个告别。
十、拐走失意男前妻的现任，从气质、坐驾上判断都貌似成功人士，更衬托出失意男的失意落魄。
十一、失意男都是花心男的婚礼伴郎，都是前任带着现任来参加婚礼，现任都是善解人意的在车里等待，给两人留下一点空间聊聊近况，然后开车来接走，被拐老婆都对现任一脸幸福。
十二、都是文艺失意男遇上了有共同兴趣、共同语言的文艺女。《心》里那一对都以音乐为职业，《杯》里那一对都对葡萄酒有着超常研究和鉴赏力。
十三、《心》尺度不大，《杯》有一些限制级镜头，美国没有剪刀总局毕竟还是宽容一些的。
十四、结尾时好基友都对兄弟说了我爱你。都说旅程催生爱情或友情，这么一段非同寻常的旅程，对友情而言也是升华。
十五、结尾都预示着失意男和文艺女未来走到一起的可能。《心》里，耿浩和婚礼上遇见的伴娘音乐老师小北，边走边聊着两人的共同话题——音乐，消失在镜头里；《杯》里，Miles收到了Maya的留言讯息，听到了对他未出版小说的赞扬并邀请他前来探望，所以最后一幕，Miles敲了Maya的家门。
Ok ok anyway。不管宁浩是抄袭模仿，还是特意向Alexander Payne (亚历山大•佩恩)和他的《杯酒人生》致敬，我都觉得《心》还算耐看，至少有让人看第二遍的愿望。结构、剧情、演员演技、台词、音乐以及一些细节都很用心，尤其那个令人意外的结尾，但埋伏作得有点假，在最后谜底揭晓前，所有手机通话里“老婆”的声音和袁泉的声音根本就是两个人；而且耿浩两次去大理穿的衣服看不出差别，有故意迷惑观众之嫌。由于韩寒与宁浩的友情，有些人把此片和《后会无期》放在一起比较，我觉得根本不在一个level上无以比较。韩寒作为文字工作者还不错，作为导演还是太嫩了。
《杯》第一次看还稍觉平淡，第二次看就品出些许味道来了，第三次看是在和几个朋友一起开车去尼亚加拉大瀑布的路上，也许是那十个小时的美国公路旅程给了和电影一样的情境，该片特应景看得特别有感觉。而且那段时间正好在美国遍尝各牌子各品种的葡萄酒，所以当男女主提到Pinot Noir（皮诺），Shiraz（希哈），Merlot （梅洛），Chardonnay（莎当妮），Cabernet（赤霞珠），Riesling（雷司令），Bordeaux（波尔多）等名字时就感觉别样亲切。尤其喜欢失意男和文艺女借由葡萄酒谈人生的那段对白，堪称经典（ 台词见文后附注，也是英文学习的绝佳资料 ）。最俱喜感的是两人一起回女服务员家取回钱包的那场戏。第四次就是为了专门做比较又复习的这一次，发现这种抱着研究的心态看电影也是蛮好的体验，给了自己以一个局外人的身份高高在上的视角。
《心》最喜欢大理梧桐客栈里，留言墙和屋里摆设随着音乐不停变幻的那一组镜头，表达了岁月流逝的不可阻挡，世事沧桑的无可奈何。最俱美学感受的一出戏是黄渤大闹酒吧，轻快音乐伴着慢镜头，画面五彩斑斓。最俱喜感的是结尾两基友准备kiss的那一段。
不管是对食物、书籍、电影、朋友，每个人都有自己心仪的款。这种节奏缓慢、情节简单，但台词和氛围都耐人寻味的类型正是我的款，看的时候感觉整个心灵都是打开的，那些精彩的台词随着音乐如涓涓细流般缓缓注入我的心里，在那里发生着奇妙的化学反应，成为身体细胞的一部分，我想这应该就是心灵游历的一种吧，毕竟人生短暂，现实中能够亲身经历的还是太有限了。所以，我们才需要阅读、电影、写作、旅行……来增加阅历、丰富体验。
有感而写，随性而为，闲言碎语而已，只为好玩开心。如有错误，欢迎指出。本人不善也不喜辩论，如有不同观点，请保留，不值得细论推敲、更无必要争论说服。
附注：《杯酒人生》经典台词：
Maya: Can I ask you a personal question, Miles?
Miles: Sure.
Maya: Why are you so into Pinot Nior? It’s like a thing with you.
Miles: I don’t know, um, it’s a hard grape to grow, as you know, right? It’s thin-skinned, temperamental, ripens early. It’s not a survivor like Cabernet, which can just grow anywhere, and thrive even when it’s neglected. No, Pinot Noir needs constant care and attention. In fact, it can only grow in these really specific tucked-away corners of the world. And only the most patient and nurturing of growers can build it really. Only somebody who really takes the time to understand Pinot Nior’s potential can then coax it into its full expression. And then I mean, oh, its flavors. They are just the most haunting and brilliant and thrilling and subtle, and ancient on the planet. Cabernet can be powerful and exalting too, but they seem prosaic to me for some reason, but by comparison. What about you? Why are you so into wine?
Maya: I like to think about the life of wine, how it’s a living thing. I like to think about what was going on in the year of grapes were growing. How the sun was shining, if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today, it would taste different than if I opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive, and it is constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is until it peaks, like your 1961. And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline and it tastes so fucking good.
