我们仨,来自不同的小城,如今都在北京这片广阔的土地上追逐梦想。这段迁徙的旅程,伴随着不安与迷茫,也收获了成长与蜕变。它像一根皮筋,一头系着故乡的回忆,一头牵引着对未来的期许,不断拉扯着我们,在故乡与他乡之间往复。
乐小宇:梦想的彼岸
我来自东北一个小城,为了追求更广阔的天地,毅然来到北京。在爱情与事业、亲情与梦想的抉择中,我选择了后者。研究生期间,我曾面临着爱情与理想的冲突,最终选择了专注学业,如今拥有稳定的感情和事业,并不后悔当初的选择。
从最初对大城市的不适应和胆怯,到如今的成熟和自信,这段迁徙的经历让我深刻体会到:成长,往往伴随着阵痛与蜕变。 离开家乡的舒适圈,我被迫直面自己的不足,也逐渐找到了属于自己的位置。
旺旺:故乡的呼唤
我的迁徙始于从辽宁到北京。为了事业和个人发展,我选择了离开家人,独自打拼。虽然不后悔,但内心深处也留存着遗憾——没能陪伴家人度过最艰难的时刻。
迁徙带来的身份认同的挑战,让我深刻体会到:在大城市,我们常常感到局促不安,如同置身于一个巨大的舞台,自己的无知与胆怯被无限放大。 而故乡,则像一根皮筋,无论我飞得多远,都能感受到它强烈的牵引,时时提醒着我与故土的联系。
啾啾:理解故乡,获得自我
我从太原来到北京,这段旅程让我明白:离开故乡,才能更好地理解故乡,也才能更好地认识自己。 迁徙对女性和男性的意义大相径庭。女性更容易摆脱传统束缚,获得更大的自由;而男性则与宗族和父权制度联系更紧密,迁徙的意义也更为复杂。
“人生是旷野”的观念,并非放之四海而皆准。并非所有人都适合追求无限的可能性,更重要的是遵从自己的本心,找到适合自己的生活方式。
迁徙的意义:不止是地理的改变
我们三人的经历,只是无数迁徙者故事中的缩影。迁徙的意义,远不止是地理位置的改变,更是对自我认知的一次重新审视。它让我们直面挑战,也让我们更加了解自己,最终在故乡与他乡之间,找到属于自己的平衡点。
在故乡与他乡之间,我们不断地寻找,不断地成长。 这根名为“迁徙”的皮筋,虽然带来拉扯与不安,却也让我们在不断地往复中,更加清晰地认识自己,最终找到属于自己的旷野。 而这,或许才是迁徙真正的意义所在。
The central theme of 'Past Lives' revolves around the emotional and psychological impact of migration, the choices individuals make between love and ambition, and the enduring connection to one's homeland. The film explores how these choices shape identity and relationships over time.
Celine Song, the director of 'Past Lives,' draws heavily from her own life experiences as a Korean-Canadian immigrant. The film mirrors her journey of migration, the cultural shifts she underwent, and the emotional ties to her homeland, making the narrative deeply personal and relatable.
In 'Past Lives,' the concept of '姻缘' (fate or destiny) is used to explore the deep, often unspoken connections between characters, particularly Nora and Hae Sung. It suggests that their relationship is influenced by past lives and karmic ties, highlighting the inevitability and complexity of their bond.
Migration in 'Past Lives' significantly impacts the characters by altering their life paths and relationships. Nora's move to Canada at a young age creates a physical and emotional distance from her childhood friend Hae Sung, leading to divergent life choices and a sense of loss and longing for what could have been.
The final scene in 'Past Lives' is poignant as it symbolizes Nora's acceptance of her choices and the closure of a chapter in her life. As she walks home and embraces her husband Arthur, it signifies her moving forward, leaving behind the 'past life' she shared with Hae Sung, and embracing her present and future.
'Past Lives' delves into the theme of identity by examining how migration and cultural displacement shape one's sense of self. Nora's journey from Korea to Canada and then to New York reflects her evolving identity, caught between her Korean heritage and her adopted Western culture, ultimately leading to a complex, multifaceted sense of self.
In 'Past Lives,' the concept of 'home' is multifaceted, representing both a physical place and an emotional state. For Nora, home is tied to her Korean roots and childhood memories, but it also evolves as she builds a new life in Canada and the U.S. The film explores the tension between the longing for the homeland and the need to create a new sense of belonging in a foreign land.
The relationship between Nora and Hae Sung in 'Past Lives' is portrayed as one of deep, unresolved connection and missed opportunities. Their bond, formed in childhood, is strained by Nora's migration and their subsequent life choices, leading to a complex mix of love, regret, and acceptance as they reconnect years later.
'Past Lives' suggests that choices, especially those related to migration and personal ambition, have profound and lasting consequences. Nora's decision to leave Korea and pursue her dreams in Canada leads to a life of fulfillment but also a sense of loss and what-ifs regarding her relationship with Hae Sung, highlighting the bittersweet nature of life's pivotal decisions.
'Past Lives' explores cultural adaptation through Nora's experiences as she navigates life in Canada and the U.S. The film depicts her struggles with language, identity, and belonging, as well as her efforts to reconcile her Korean heritage with her new Western environment, illustrating the challenges and rewards of adapting to a new culture.
感情还是理想,故乡还是他乡,是每个人在人生选择上必经的课题。
本期我们有幸邀请到《皮囊独白》的主播啾啾,跟我们一起探讨一部去年的热门影片-《过往人生》。
影片由加拿大籍韩裔导演席琳·宋执导,女主角Nora(娜英)是一个韩国女孩,12岁跟随父母迁徙到加拿大,从此和自己的青梅竹马海盛天各一方。12年后,他们通过Facebook重新联系,维持了一段算不上恋爱的关系,这段关系因为Nora(娜英)想要更专注自己的创作而戛然而止。时间又过了12年,海盛和当时的女朋友分手,Nora(娜英)和自己在文学创作营认识的作家Authur 结婚,海盛来到了纽约和Nora见面。海盛在纽约重访旧友的历程,对于Nora(娜英)来说,更像是和自己的前世告别。
电影像一面镜子,映照出我们每个人的生活。《过往人生》的导演席琳·宋巧妙地将自己的个人经历转化为电影中的叙事,而我们的故事关于成长、关于选择,也关于我们内心深处对故乡的无尽眷恋。
本期的三位主播与电影中的娜英一样,都是迁徙者中的一员,对我们来说,迁徙的过程伴随着局促与不安,也有机遇和更广阔的天地。身体不断远行,但乡愁似一根拴住身上的皮筋拉扯着我们,飞得越远越能感受故乡的呼唤。
人们常常说“人生是旷野”,但是旷野究竟在哪里呢?我们不断地迁徙、不断地舍弃,能够找到属于自己的旷野么?但无论选择留在故乡还是走向更广阔的世界,最重要的是忠于自己的内心,活出真正的自我。
