"谢谢你让我感觉不再那么孤单"，是一位观众在映后对Moore说的评语。而坐在一旁的我也想对她表达同样的感谢。

有的电影剧情是重点，在两个小时甚至更长的时间里，让人迫不及待的想跟随角色探索另一个世界的秘密或者体验另一种奇妙的人生。但有的电影感情是核心，荧幕上的人物就是你的投影，角色的日子就是你的生活。Gloria Bell就是后者一派的电影，而且她出色的用情绪悄悄打穿了隔开你与她的薄幕。

电影是Moore一个人的秀场，一个离异12年仍然期盼着爱情的单身女人，一个与两个孩子不太亲近但渴望着陪伴的母亲。中年的她有着自己的办公室，工作忙碌但不充实，同时又面临职业的瓶颈，筹谋着退休后的储蓄。独居的她养育了一双儿女，彼此相爱但又有着各自的生活，她只能不时打个电话问问，还要记着在留言的末尾强调“It's your mother”。单身的她依旧租着公寓，在无聊的夜晚独自来到舞厅，伴着90s的迪斯科一个人跳舞，又想象着或许有一个人能靠近自己，问问自己的名字。

而当有一天，突然又自然的，她遇到一个人，寂寞的日子似乎终于有了波动。可是这是真实的吗？

我喜欢塞巴斯蒂安的电影，因为他的风格极为自然，像不是电影的电影，没有过多美化的，将人物的一段岁月片段化的展现出来，就像真实的生活。这次他同样的，没有太多的剧情，带着天然的幽默与善意，用一组组片段串联起这一个栩栩如生的女人。

一个人开车时，伴着音箱节奏有一搭没一搭的哼唱，大胆的破音走调；一个人周末时，漫无目的的报名参加奇奇怪怪的兴趣活动，借着课程想让自己快乐；一个人陷入爱情时，依旧期待着盼望着融入另一个人的生命，全情投入的计划着两人的旅行。而在一个人舞蹈时，即使身处人群的中心，投入在欢快的氛围里，仍然会在随性的舞动里感受到她内心的伤感与孤单。

Moore演活了这样一个女人，一个可爱的女人，她演活了我们每一个人的生活，或者起码是某一个瞬间的我们。而随着她最后拎着“枪”去结束一段纠葛的关系，我们也会发自内心和她一起在回程的车上放肆大笑。即使生活就是寂寞，逃离寂寞，回归寂寞的循环，我们还是一天天怀着期待的活下去。

Thank you for letting me feel less lonely. 谢谢你用一个地道美国人的角色，带给世界上所有寂寞的人萌萌的欣慰。我喜欢的导演，我喜欢的演员，打动我的两个小时。

有个精神病般的邻居，无比暴躁，整天乱嚎，甚至乱敲门，而自己只能叫天天不灵，叫地地不应，惨。不过也不是一无是处，留给自己一包大麻，日后苦闷无处消解，唯以解闷。

有个一起骂过街的好同事好闺密，结果被辞退了，可能也是看到了自己未来的可能性，惨。

儿女双全，却各自有自己的生活，与老妈渐行渐远；女儿找了个搞极限运动的，自己老操心了不说，结果还远嫁瑞典，在机场女儿不让送，一个人痛哭流涕，惨；有个仿佛单亲爸爸一般的儿子，儿媳神神秘秘，神龙见首不见尾，自己想搭把手好像也不怎么讨喜。

前夫已经另觅良缘，没想到在给儿子庆生的聚会上，跟自己还有点儿藕断丝连之感。

在酒吧出入多时，好不容易碰到一个走肾也走心的离异大叔，结果被其前妻和两个女儿折腾得不行，也是巧，每次要搞点儿事，正在兴头之时必被搅乱。情绪最为崩溃之时，肉体也彻底崩溃，在赌城彻底堕落，梦醒时分还得辛苦年迈的老妈前来收拾残局。回家之后，仿佛被掏空，待在家里放飞自我。彻底厌倦了，不管大叔怎么死缠烂打也不再走心，最终跟自己和解了，掏出定情之物对着大叔一顿 piupiupiu 斩断情缘。

始于酒吧舞曲，终于婚宴舞曲，仿佛一场梦。

可能是个好电影，但这种充满主创个人表达的电影实在不和我的口味，大概是为数不多我在电影院里看的有 N 次中途离场冲动的电影了。

原版大妈凭此片力擒柏林金熊最佳女演员，欧洲三大电影节最佳女主大满贯得主、文艺片女神摩尔不会不留意到这部智利影片。我想她一定是太喜欢这部小题材的片子了，所以才会把智利导演Sebastián Lelio请到美国，几乎是原样（连大多数机位、对白）不动翻拍了此片。

我是几年前先看的智利版，看过美版后，虽然觉得摩尔很努力，但还是觉得新拍的美版比智利版整体上逊色不少。要说有先入之见，肯定在所难免。

对比两版，比较明显的改动有两处，都在片尾，原版大妈是和渣男主到海滨豪华宾馆度假，美版改成了拉斯维加斯这座内陆城市。原版大妈在男主不告而别后自暴自弃，大清早在海滩上衣冠不整地醒来，发现自己被劫财劫色那份促急那份狼狈，刻画得十分到位；美版因为没有海滩，改成了拉斯维加斯某酒店泳池边醒来，会让观众感觉有些莫名其妙（因为她原本就在酒店度假），情绪上的冲击力小了很多。原版在表现男欢女爱时的尺度也远超美版！！！老男人也露点了！！！

最重要的改动，新版片尾部分少了一个原版里的极其重要情节：一只在夜里孤独开屏绽放自己美丽的白孔雀！！！原版大妈路过它时怔怔盯着它看了好一会，千言万语尽在不言中，实在是点睛之笔！这才他妈的是电影！！！难道在米国找一只作为道具的白孔雀很难么？！只能呵呵了。

其实摩尔的演技不输原版。但无奈摩尔比起原版大妈太过年轻漂亮了（虽然她们实际上是同龄人，都是1960年出生！），像她这样的妙人儿居然沦落到渔场求泡的地步，这就让角色有点缺乏说服力了，不如原版外表沧桑的大妈来得真实。在这部片里摩尔的美丽毁掉了她的所有努力。

最后说一下片尾出现的神曲，Gloria，真的也是影片另一处神来之笔。记得当初看原版电影时，从片头部分出现那些舞池disco音乐开始，我就隐约觉着这片子会不会和那首歌扯上点关系，结果最后当那首熟悉的旋律轰然响起时，我真是忍不住泪崩了！这首歌并不是本片原创，而是1980年代一首由美国女歌手Laura Branigan翻唱的意大利歌曲。Laura Branigan的翻唱比原唱更为成功，不仅登上Billboard单曲榜第二名，还红遍全世界，成为她的招牌名曲。在智利版的电影Gloria中，出现的就是意大利歌手Umberto Tozzi的原唱。不过我建议大家听Laura Branigan在2004重新制作的舞曲混音版（应该是重唱的），虾米音乐上有，比原版更燃。美版采用的其他流行曲也比智利版的更有亲和力，毕竟我们都是听英文歌长大的一代。（blog.sina.com.cn/gogoboyz , weibo.com/gogoboyz)

I'd like to be a nest, if you were a little bird.

I'd like to be a scarf, if you were a neck and were cold.

If you were music, I'd be an ear.

If you were water, I'd be a glass.

If you were light, I'd be an eye.

If you were a foot, I'd be a sock.

And if you were the sea, I'd be a beach.

And if you were still the sea, I'd be a fish, and I'd swim in you.

And if you were the sea, I'd be salt.

And if I were salt, you'd be lettuce, an avocado or at least a fried egg.

And if you were a fried egg, I'd be a piece of bread.

And if I were a piece of bread, you'd be butter or jam.

And if you were jam, I'd be the peach in the jam.

If I were a peach, you'd be a tree.

And if you were a tree, I'd be your sap, and I'd course through your arms like blood.

And if I were blood, I'd live in your heart.

和Roise看完后就给她说，这是一部只有状态没有故事的电影。想了想，就像我的生活，只有状态，没有故事。

虽然它在其中看似完整地讲了一个爱情故事，但这个爱情故事是夹杂在Gloria与子女的关系，她的工作，她的个人生活之中的。它讲述的是Gloria的生活，而不是离异中年女性的爱情故事。看的时候，我甚至惊异于Arnold居然能成为这100多分钟的主角，因为我知道对于Gloria的生活，他只是一个短暂的驻留，昙花一现。只是这一现，比我想象中的更久。

我对这种生活感到熟悉。上班，在上班过程中还要时不时分心处理生活中的事务，联系亲人朋友；有很多她开车的镜头，双手握紧方向盘，很认真，又放松地合着音乐唱起来；好些镜头给了她的卧室，她的睡眠，仿佛精神失常的邻居给她带来的困扰。如果我能看向自己的生活，可能这就是我会拍摄的电影。

有些人觉得她落寞，有些人羡慕她自由，还有人感叹她经历了离异、生养孩子后仍然风姿绰约。相比于Arnold，Gloria确实在心灵和身体上都要自由很多，而且她仿佛是一个惯于自由且毫不畏惧自由所带来的副作用的人。这种副作用，可能就是没有稳定的伴侣，要在深夜胆战心惊地面对敲门声；面对女儿远走瑞典追寻爱情，虽有不舍也只有支持。

我想，处于什么样的生活状态，只在于选择。而Gloria仿佛是选择了什么就去享受和承受什么的女性。我感觉，Gloria，《她》，和《你以为我是谁》《将来的事》里的两个Claire都是精神气质非常相似的中年女性，除去她们都有自给自足的经济能力，生育、离异的经历外，她们都自由而勇敢，她们的生活像一种缓冲力极强的状态，会引起波动，甚至是剧烈的波动，但她们的强韧之处就在于勇敢接受变化，但也努力地恢复生活的秩序性。

另外一点是，对于因舞池一夜情而开始的恋情，我现在竟然觉得太理所当然了，对于很多古典式的经历了漫长追寻的恋情倒有点儿表示怀疑。最近照镜子会明显地看到年龄的痕迹，我在老去。今天在厨房里突然想到，以前喜欢过我和我喜欢过的人肯定都想不到那个沉醉于二手文艺的WJJ，会日复一日地直面一手生活，已经好久没有看书，连看个电影的时间也是要像安排钱财一样，仔细计划。这是我的状态。

故事结束了，生活不会，因为它是一种状态。而Gloria这种缓冲力极高的状态里可以容纳故事，容纳许多故事。

Hollywood has a rapacious appetite of remaking other country’s cinematic gems to cater to stateside Anglophone audience, but Chilean director Sebastián Lelio’s GLORIA BELL is not the case, firstly, this reimagining of his own GLORIA (2013) is directed by himself, secondly, the whole production comes to fruition by way of a “you dare, I dare” challenge between him and Julianne Moore, who is very much impressed by GLORIA and will only take on the role if Lelio returns to the director’s chair, so mutually connected through a deep feeling of camaraderie (epithets like woman-empowering, genderqueer, etc.), GLORIA BELL is here to stay.

For those who have watched GLORIA, GLORIA BELL is an almost entirely shot-by-shot remake which transposes the story from Santiago, Chile to L.A.. Moore plays our titular middle-aged divorcée, who is a habitué of sundry nightspots for patronage of certain age, she loves to dance and hang loose, not ashamed of seeking carnal knowledge when she feels up to it, which mirrors a realistic situation when one has independence in one hand, loneliness often materializes in another. When one night she sets her eyes on Arnold (Turturro) on the dance floor, some spark is kindled.

A relatively new divorcé (merely one year compared to Gloria’s 12), Arnold apparently has baggages to junk before he can totally commit to a new relationship, which causes embarrassment and discord during their inchoate romance. What is quite inconceivable is his penchant of taking a powder whenever he sees fit, regardless of the circumstances, and a free-spirited Gloria has to fall victim twice of his self-serving act (admittedly, attending a birthday party of your new girlfriend’s son, with her ex-husband also presented, is quite a daunting experience, but the second one in Las Vegas is plumb inexcusable), until a salvo of paintballs unleashes her suppressed wrath and Gloria is back dancing, unwinds and beams when the eponymous song GLORIA pipes up in a wedding.

The comparison of the two heroines is ineluctable, in GLORIA, Paulina García has a more aw-shucks front to dissimulate her insecurity and the hunger for physical intimacy, here Moore is more proactive and indeed, more poised to map out her no-holds-barred investment in Gloria’s entire emotional spectrum, and it goes without saying, a bespectacled Moore emanates greater sex appeal that eloquently validates that a woman’s charisma is irrelevant of her age, whether immersing herself under the becoming bisexual lights or bitterly realizing that her hankering is a castle in Spain (very literally), she is magnificent from stem to stern, in a rare showcase where she is the cynosure of almost every single shot. As for John Turturro, who also ups the ante in portraying Arnold in a more sympathetically halting and charming manner, albeit his immaturity and callousness, one can understand why a woman like Gloria falls for him (poems are the best aphrodisiac), all he needs is to grow a pair.

On the face of it, the film feels despondent, but Lelio intelligently inputs many occasions of female solidarity here, the interaction between Gloria and her co-worker Melinda (a cameo from the legendary German actress Barbara Sukowa), her friend Vicky (Wilson, Mrs. Tom Hanks), her daughter Anne (Pistorius), her mother Hillary (Taylor), she even shares a chummy conversation about weed with Fiona (Tripplehorn), the new wife of her ex, all contributes a sense of communion among women, they understand each other, the problem lies in the other sex (Sean Astin has a wordless cameo just to cop a feel and make out with Moore).

Still, one cannot dissipate the faintly ill feeling that Lelio opts for uniformity in terms of burrowing into a marvelous character for the second time, which precludes a rating higher than its original, that said, there is no way (at least for this reviewer) to resist a lip-synching Moore lives the best version of Gloria with a candid face and a brisk attitude, let up a bit, to all the Glorias in the world!
