想一首你喜歡的曲子,如果換一個人唱,換個場合聽,你還喜歡嗎?

《Call Me by Your Name以你的名字呼喚我》,2018年我在毫無劇透的情況下,白紙一張走入電影院,出來時百味雜陳——畫面太美,主角臉蛋太好,愛情故事不矯情,道出人性的真誠、善良與軟弱,恕我詞窮不能寫盡電影的好。
有看過的人,自然會記得Elio彈巴哈這一幕,一段隨想曲,彈出兩個改編,就是要逗弄一下無法拿揑的同住人。
電影是電影,改編巴哈的自然不是演Elio的Timothée Chalamet,不過他憑琴技和演技,演活了一個音樂情人。
Elio 彈巴哈的一場戲(註1:英文字幕)
當時我一聽就愛上了這段音樂,回家搜尋曲目,是巴哈的隨想曲(capriccio),當時也還真有人把Elio的改編琴譜放上網。
據說這首曲是巴哈唯一一首得以留存下來的主題音樂,即有故事性的音樂,六個樂章的樂曲,題為「致敬愛兄長的離別」("On the Departure of His Beloved Brother",總覺得中文譯得怪怪的,哈)。
而這首隨想曲第五和第六個樂章,也被選為今年校際音樂節八級比賽曲目(註2)。每次聽到,都令我回憶起首聽此曲的心潮起伏。

一首歌,曾經以讓你心動的姿態在你面前出現過,在你心中種下種籽。每次重溫,都讓你微笑,都有記憶回閃。
到底喜歡的是記憶,是歌曲本身,還是那個唯一的人無可取代的演繹,已經扳纏不清。

《以你的名字呼喚我》上影時,Tim還未火紅,而彈琴一場戲對他來說也只是小菜一碟,劇終前一個三分半鐘的定鏡,一首歌,一把眼淚,他用一張臉,總結了一段沒有結果的愛情。經歷過的人,都會讀懂他的傷感、惱怒、不甘,最終回復平靜。

Elio 一角為Tim帶來奧斯卡最佳男主角的提名,我總覺得《沙丘》縱然未有掩蓋他的美貌,卻埋沒了他的演技。

註1
Oliver: Sounds nice.
Elio: I thought you didn't like it.
Oliver: Play it again, would you?
Elio: Follow me.
Oliver: That sounds different. Did you change it?
Elio: I changed it a little bit.
Oliver: Why?
Elio: I was playing it the way Liszt would have played it, if he'd... altered Bach's version.
Oliver: Play that again.
Elio: Play what again?
Oliver: The thing you played outside.
Elio: Oh, you want me to play the thing I played outside?
Oliver: Please.
Elio: Arrh.
Oliver: I can't believe you changed it again!
Elio: Oh, I've changed it a little bit.
Oliver: Yeah! Why?
Elio: I just played it the way Busoni would have played it, if I he'd... altered Liszt's version.
Oliver: And what is wrong with Bach? The way Bach would have played Bach?
Elio: Bach never wrote it for the guitar… In fact, we're not even sure if Bach wrote...
Oliver: Forget I asked!
Elio: It's Young Bach. He dedicated it to his brother.
