长今的心

《大长今》终于圆满结束了。其实我之前就已经忍不住猛追DVD看完全70集了,但日以继夜地追看后,没有《大长今》向往的日子突然觉得很空虚*。所以又再重新追看电视播映。

我一向对韩国有所抗拒,从没想过有一天会这么追看韩剧。但大长今的确是一部令人感慨万千的故事。剧中有两大幕是让我难忘的:第一幕便是之前一幅篇章所记录的»cut losses 感想 -- 即长今被遗弃在封锁的村庄,而闵政浩奋不顾身、义无反顾(女人所要的,不也就是这样么?)地闯进疫区救她。被遗弃的凄凉,被救回的感动…感情可以说是这样磨练出来的吧。虽然说欢笑难得,但一段养尊处优的感情和一段历尽沧桑的相比,坚固程度应该是不一样的吧。Perhaps delayed gratification does make for sweeter victory and more outstanding outcomes.

因为这样,我觉得长今和闵政浩俩必须有个完美的结局。他们都经历这么多波折了,总得成全他们吧!如果连虚拟的连续剧都不美满,那就真是太残酷了。

让我铭心的第二幕,便是皇上对长今的爱慕。长今闵政浩对彼此的肯定固然可嘉(尤其是射箭比赛那幕,闵政浩有骨气,皇上输了他竟不想让 ---- 也对,感情怎么可以想让呢?),但皇上对长今的爱慕也很凄美。普通的君主想必都会希望自己心爱的人陪自己到临终,但这个在万人之上的皇上卧在病榻上还想到成全长今和闵政浩让他们脱险,也算是慷慨大方,有情有意了。他当初留长今在自己身边的那段话,凄美得让我顿时愣住:

“身为君主,我下令你;身为男人,我请求你。”

后来在病榻的他又含泪感叹:“刚刚才见过长今,可是现在不知怎么的,又想见她…”长今这时捧着药又进了殿伺候皇上。皇上眼中闪着感激爱慕的泪光,凝望着长今认真的眼神、清秀的脸蛋、白皙的耳坠、樱桃似的小嘴… 这么可爱的女人,怎不让男人败在她裙下?

我常在想:长今对闵政浩的感情虽依然不变,但日积月累,她心中的某一角是否也渐渐地爱慕了皇上?更笼统地说, 一个人的心是否能够同时容纳超过一个人?

狮子座的我不喜欢与别人分享东西,尤其是男人的心。但我不得不承认,这一点可能连我自己也做不到。你的心的一大半可以义不容辞地去爱一个人,但其中的一小隅却有可能就是那么淡淡地、细细地爱另一个人。这另一个爱既是淡、也是是潜伏的,所以你最好别去问。有些问题是绝对不应该开口的;问了不但失礼,答案也不一定是你承受得了的。

所以闵政浩不过问长今她为什么会接皇上当初的上联,含泪地在病榻说:

“身为医官,身为女人,请让小的治疗皇上吧!”

* 用“空虚”来形容听起来似乎夸张,但5月13日的晚上看完《大长今》DVD集的时候 (我连它的制作花絮和综艺节目都看了),真的有这样的感觉。可能一样东西追逐久了,总会沉溺…

  1. Hello!

    It may be just me but all I can see are a lot of squares on your post with the occasional ‘DVD’ or number ‘13’, is there a fault or is this some sort of clever code?

    Perhaps we are supposed to guess what you are saying?

    "Yeah, went on the back of a camel under water today, luckily the camel had fins and a mask, saw 13 jelly fish which were dancing and wearing grass skirts and then went home to watch a nice DVD all about how to make a full scale model of the Eiffel Tower out of bread and sticky brown tape"

    Did I get it right? Did I!

  2. Hahaha.... Funny Martin, I sure my blog would have more than 2669 vistors if I had your wild imagination to think up of a finny camel meeting 13 jellyfish :D

    Actually the post was written in Chinese... If you are in the mood to admire some Chinese characters, switch your character encoding to Unicode!

  4. Oh, looks like I'm an idiot, of course I knew it was written in Chinese! (Not really, I'm an idiot!)

    The weird thing is that I printed out the page with all the random squares on, I then took a cocktail stick and punched a hole in each square, I then ran the page through a musical box that I have (you know, one of the big tubes with little metal pins on) and you would not believe what song was played! GREASE! as sung by John Travolta and Olivier Newton John. The song came out word for word and the only wrong bit was instead of the section where they sing "You’re that one that I want, you are the one that Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey" it came out as "You’re the one that I want you are the one that agh, agh, agh money"

    It's a strange old world!
