在《楚门的世界》(The Truman Show)里,金凯瑞扮演的男主角,走向了那片以蓝天为背景的楼梯,他鞠躬,谢幕,走向了外面的真实。
一群被困在《心慌方》(Cube)的陌生人们,穿过了无数道门,与死神无数次擦身,最后只有傻子走了出去。
《鬼妈妈》(Coraline)中的Coraline找到了一扇小门,她爬过去,发现眼睛变成纽扣的父母和会说话的黑猫。
《克里蒂,童话小屋》(Kerity, La Maison Des Contes),不识字的小孩是新一代童话初版书的守护者,他需要念出那句蝌蚪文一般的咒语。
《了不起的盖茨比》中,Nick将要见到他的表亲Daisy时,门推开,白色的窗帘如梦似幻,一如那个既迷幻有现实的年代。
《纽约,我爱你》中,电话中的女人卡米尔(克里斯蒂娜•里奇<Christina Ricci>饰)愿意帮缺乏睡眠的作曲家大卫(奥兰多•布鲁姆<Orlando Bloom>饰)读一本800的书,当大卫完成创作,卡米尔站在门外,说:“就这么定了。”大卫说:“那意思是我们可以结婚了。”卡米尔说:“不,我还有很多书要读。”典型的好莱坞桥段,却每次都能让人怦然。
哆啦a梦的随意门将孩子们带入了一个奇幻的冒险世界,《蓝色大门》上写着青春的懵懂诗,《天生杀人狂》的监狱阻断不了米基和梅乐丽的疯狂与爱,他们轻易点燃一场场登峰造极的轰烈混战。被困的鸟儿默默挖着地道,等待一场《肖申克的救赎》。它的羽毛太鲜亮,当它们飞走时,你的心底知道把它们关起来是一种罪恶,你会因此而振奋……
门为我们创造了一个私密的空间,这里,有惊喜有惊吓,有幻想有残酷,有真实有谎言,有决然有释然……上帝有可能在你最痛苦的时候雪上加霜,关上一扇门,甚至连窗都关上,可遥远的星光,依旧足以且必须照亮心中的渴望。门,可以锁住一个人,却难以驾驭一颗心。
门内有秘密,门外有人听。这个秘密空间,依旧隔墙有耳。
所以有门,也应该像监狱兔(Usavich)的红色老大基廉列克那样,在90秒的演出中,用黑帮的气质和对一双球鞋的执念,让别人的生活无处不转折,并引发一出出的twist。或者像绿色小弟普京那样,在90秒的阴差阳错中,身处险境却九死一生,拥有一颗强大的阿Q心。
请参与者联想一个门后的故事,这次可没有后门走的哟。
本期话题送给爱胡思乱想的你们。

Truman walked on the stairs, and the background was the beautiful fake blue sky. He bowed. The Truman show was over. He was going to the real world.
A group of strangers were trapped in the Cube, they passed through a lot of doors, faced the death countless time. Finally, that idiot went out.
Coraline found out a small door and got through it. And she found out that her parents has buttons eyes and the black cat could speak.
Kerity, a kid had reading problem but was chosen to be the new guardian for protecting the first edition fairy tales. Yes, he need to read the curse loud and clear. (Kerity, La Maison Des Contes)
In The Great Gatsby, Nick was going to meet his cousin Daisy, he opened the door, white flying curtains were filled his eyes. Just like that dream-like, psychedelic and reality time.
In New York, I Love You, the girl in the phone named Camil was willing to help composer David who was lack of sleep to read an 800p book. When David finish his work, Camil was standing outside the door and said:” That’s the deal” David said:” so we can get married?” Camil said:” no, I have more books to read.” Typical Hollywood drama, but still make people smile. ( The conversion in the paragraph was not exactly same as the movie.)
Doraemon had a door for kids’ fantasy adventure. Blue Gate (chinese translation)was a youth poem for growing up. The prison couldn’t block Mickey and Mei leli’s crazy and love. They are Nature Born Killers. It was so easy for them to ignite a chaos, especially ,they were just in the devils’ heaven. In the room, Grigo found out he become into a huge beetle, outside the room, there were his family who gradually became crueller and crueller because of his changing. A door, was the demarcation line of truth and the catalyst of humanity. Life is a play of The Metamorphosis( wriiten by Kafka). Trapped bird was quietly digging the tunnel, waiting for The Shawshank Redemption.”You know some birds are not meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up. DOES rejoice.”
Doors create an intimate space, where can be surprise or shock, can be cruel or illusion, can be truth or lies, can be decided or relieved…God may make you pay more even you have no penny. God may closed the door and even windows were shut too. But the distant stars still and must be sufficient enough to illuminate the desire. Doors can lock a person’ body, but are difficult to manage the soul. There are secrets behind the doors. There are earwigs outside the doors.
So, even there are doors. We should act like the red prisoner rabbit Lim Lek in Usavich. In the 90secs show, his ganger sprite and the obsession for a new pair of shoes, pushed him to messed up other people’s life. or we should act like the green prisoner rabbit Putin, in 90secs accidentally show, was put into the danger, but always reborn happily at the end.
Participants of today’s salon should share a “door story” and It will start like : I opened a door, and…
For all of you who likes fantasy.
