【主題音樂】Shape Of My Heart 歌手:Sting He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He don't play for respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape......the shape of my heart And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Well, those who speak know nothin' And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape......the shape of my heart 深意的歌詞加上憂鬱的旋律,簡直和電影本身就是個絕配。
【影片評價】 推開記憶的門,前塵往事一幕幕似幻似真……有悲,有喜,有愛,有恨,酸酸甜甜,伴我們走過了青春。其中有些事、有些人我們原以為自己早已忘記,然而驀然回首時卻不經意地發現,原來它們不曾真的隨風而去,而是一直深藏在我們的心底,聆聽著我們的心跳,陪伴著我們的呼吸,守護著我們的回憶。 譬如……初戀。 「初戀」,一個多麼溫暖美好卻又略帶傷感的字眼。它代表了我們青春的夢想,年少的痴狂,還有對那段再也回不去的舊日時光的淋漓感傷。 或許那份純真的感情早已成為往事,而他/她也未必一定是我們今生最愛的那一個人,但無論是誰,想必都無法忘懷那最初的最初,某一時刻莫名的怦然心動…… 雖然時光如白馬過隙,我們亦不可能再回到過去,但幸好還有電影。 茫茫影海里,那些關於初戀的或憂傷惆悵或浪漫溫馨的愛情故事,如夜空中粲然綻放的絢爛煙花。每一朵,都訴說著我們似曾相識的悠然過往,每一瓣,都在追憶我們共同有過的似水年華。 「生活本來就這麼苦,還是只有童年的生活才會如此?」12歲的小女孩瑪蒂爾達有一雙過早成熟並滄桑的眼睛,她神情茫然地問里奧。「人生就是如此。」里奧的眼睛被墨鏡遮住,覺察不出絲毫的感情。 從義大利來美國的里奧在不殺人的時候就是一個極普通的小人物,殺手只是他謀生的一個手段。但當他和瑪蒂爾達相遇后,他的生活開始發生變化。瑪蒂爾達親眼目睹了自己的父母被仇家所殺,報仇是她一直的願望。 【抄自《一生的讀書計劃》國外版】 萊昂的人物形象,是我感動的來源地.這個殺手,有很多的外在特質,與我們想象中的殺手的氣質相吻合,身手敏捷,手段精湛,墨鏡,風衣,手提箱,沉默寡言…受雇於一個固定的僱主…簡而言之,我們對於殺手的形象,在里昂的身上都可以得到體現.與此同時,還有很多不一樣的特質:早上喝牛奶,精心養著一盆植物,定期澆水,自己會跑去看《雨中曲》,露出憨憨的微笑,有固定的生活作息,鍛煉身體,言語律己.「在某種意義上說,里昂是一個簡單的工具,一個殺人工具,但並不是一個簡單的符號,他有著自己的生活,簡單卻又秩序.」他活在自己的小世界里,除了殺人之外,於一個常人並無兩異.直到遇到瑪婷達,才徹底打破了他的生活秩序. ...... 呂克.貝松寫了一首殺手輓歌,在這曲輓歌中,我們看到的,是人性與泯滅到復甦的全過程.里昂在最後一刻是幸福的,臉上掛著微笑,他做了他一直想做了的.
