首先,對自己說聲遲來的「46 歲生日快樂」。
1978 年,鈴木敏夫在毫無準備的情況下,被當時與他共事的尾形英夫指派為專門報導動畫、漫畫消息的雜誌《Animage》的編輯。鈴木敏夫接手後,首次採訪的對象便是高畑勳與宮崎駿。1985 年,他與動畫導演宮崎駿、高畑勳,以及德間書店的社長德間康快共同創辦了吉卜力工作室。隨後,我們看到了《龍貓》、《魔法公主》、《神隱少女》以及《霍爾的移動城堡》等作品的誕生。值得一提的是,創辦工作室時,鈴木敏夫、宮崎駿、高畑勳的年齡分別是 37 歲、44 歲和 50 歲。
另一方面,來自英國倫敦、被譽為當代最傑出演員之一,同時也是影壇永遠的女王——海倫·米蘭 (Helen Mirren),曾經說過一句意味深長的話:
「人生只有兩個選擇:早逝或者變老,除此之外,沒有其他可能。在 25 歲時,覺得像詹姆斯·狄恩那樣英年早逝或許有點酷,也有些浪漫。但後來你會發現,生活太有趣了,不值得那麼做。」
“You only have two options in life: Die young or get old. There is nothing else. The idea of dying young when you’re 25 is kind of cool — a bit romantic, like James Dean. But then you realize that life is too much fun to do that.”
生命是有限的,大約只有短短的四千個禮拜。在這段有限的旅程中,有太多體驗、樂趣、挑戰以及有意義的事等著我們去發掘。然而,時間有限,並非每一件事都能親身經歷。既然如此,透過那些經過精心製作的電影來認識這個世界,未嘗不是一種選擇。
於是,在今年生日前,我啟動了一個小計畫:觀賞好萊塢男星們在 46 歲時的代表作品。
這項計畫也有一些具體條件:
- 男星的名單是根據印象深刻或隨機想到的名字。
- 作品限定於電影。
- 通過 IMDb 搜尋他們的作品。
- 選取他們 46 歲時 IMDb 評分最高的作品。
- 若 46 歲當年無作品,則往前或往後選擇。
最終,這便形成了一份 100 部電影的清單。
