今天看了《隐入尘烟》。电影试图以贫瘠之地的荒凉，人与人之间的凉薄衬托出两个苦命人卑微且美好的爱情。桂英是有铁生命中的一道光，光没了，他也就失去了活下去的勇气。导演想表达爱这个永恒的主题，但我有个大胆的假设：如果桂英不曾出现在他生命中，他大概率还活着。那是否印证了爱情是毒药这个命题？电影的英文名：return to dust感觉翻成：Dust to dust 更好。估计导演想表达的就是：ashes to ashes,and dust to dust;in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection unto eternal life……

If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking

by Emily Dickinson

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

假如我能使一颗心免于破碎，我便没有白活一场；假如我能消除一个人的痛苦，或者平息一个人的悲伤，或者帮助一只昏迷的知更鸟，重新回到它的巢中，我便没有虚度此生。If I can stop one heart from breaking,I shall not live in vain;If I can ease one life zhe aching,Or cool one pain,Or help one fainting robin,Unto his nest again,I shall not live in vain.-----艾米莉.狄金森
