让爱传出去

斐波那契数列，又称为黄金分割数列，因中世纪的意大利数学家斐波那契而命名。

它是指这样一个数列，从第三项开始，每一项都是前两项的和，即：1，1，2，3，5，8，13，21，34，55，89，144，233，377，610，987，1597，2584，4181，6765，10946，17711，28657，46368，……斐波那契发现兔子的繁殖能力很强，几代之后就会产生很多子代，因此归纳出这一数列。

棋盘麦粒问题源于印度的一个古老传说。

国王打算赏赐大臣，于是问他想要什么赏赐。

大臣请求国王在棋盘的第一格放1粒麦子，第二格放2粒，第三格放4粒，以此类推，放满整个棋盘的六十四个格子。

国王认为这并非难事，但发现放到后来，整个王国的麦粒也无法满足这一要求。

这个数列的第n项是2的n-1次方，第一项是2的0次方，最后一项是2的63次方，即：1，2，4，8，16，32，64，128，256，512，1024，2048，4096，8192，16384，32768，……，9223372036854775808。

这是一串惊人的数字。

几何级数，又称为等比级数，指等比数列的前n项之和。

它的公式是：前n项和=首项*（1-公比的n次方）/（1-公比），公比≠1。

当数列的各项以前一项的常数倍增长时，其各项之和将以极快的速度增长，最终达到极大的数量级。

衰减，指信号在传输过程中，会有部分能量转化为其他形式的能，或者被传输介质吸收，从而导致信号强度减弱。

衰变，指放射性元素放射出粒子而转变为另一种元素的过程。

放射性元素的原子核有半数发生衰变所需要的时间，称为半衰期。

由此可见，影片中小男孩传递爱的方式，在理想状态下将成功地把爱传递给惊人数量的受众。

但是，考虑到有可能产生类似物理学上的衰减和化学上的衰变，传递爱的效果可能会受到影响。

当然，影片宣扬的是人文主义精神，我们不必用自然科学的理论去深究——每一个人都尽己所能地真心关爱他人，这个世界将变得更加美好。

剧情大纲什么的就不说了，其他影评想必已经都写烂了，我就写点自己的感受感悟吧～首先是老师对那个小男孩传出爱的想法的个人看法：possibility, 可能性。

行动也许失败，但不行动连可能性都没有了。

这正是理想主义的心理基础。

而理想主义,不也正总被嘲笑为幼稚吗？

To be stupid其实该片让我感触最深的就是那个小男孩在接受采访时说的下面这段话：“when they give up, everybody kind of loses”.(当他放弃时，每个人都是失败/受伤 者-两败俱伤～)想想你的亲身经历和看到的他人的经历，多少人（就像那个老师一样）为了面子、虚荣等外界虚无，去欺骗自己，让自己言行不一，让自己内心痛苦却仍旧不敢去改变just a bit of change，我们每个人都会犯错，每个人都有自己的经历，无所谓对错的经历，而我们内心一直坚守的价值观就，基于自己无所谓对错的经历的价值观不也是无所谓对与错的吗？！

那个老师因为他的父亲没有成功改变，形成了自己的观念——酗酒对孩子家庭的残暴影响。

我们不讨论个例，不讨论还有他没能经历体会过的很多改变的情形。

退一万步说，即使他得出的观念是正确的真理，他也只是因为比那位母亲多经历过一点罢了，每个人都不能经历完美的人生、经历，所以每个人都会犯错，所以当别人犯下错误（再次注明下：这里的错误可能要稍微区分区别下，也就是小男孩的父亲和母亲都犯过错误，都酗酒，但是父亲还有暴力，母亲是始终爱着孩子的～我认为这个犯错误类型的区分点不在酗酒与否，而是对某个经历的看法认同，在自己经历尚浅时犯下的’错误’，即使对方伤害过自己内心，即使自己认为这在自己看来是无法原谅的错误，但关键是他从这个经历中真的领悟到了某样东西～我们要勇敢的给对方经历、犯错的机会，不光是对自己的子女，对任何人都一样，子女对父母也一样，因为我们都不能经历完美！

——你做出选择决定的根源是联系自己的内心，而不是对方如何伤害你等表象！

这是我最想要表面的观点！！！

教室爱母亲，所以给了他一次机会，有了彼此双赢幸福的可能性【possibility】，无论结局如何，至少我做到了，无愧于当初’我‘对他真爱的内心！！！

）时，请给彼此一个改变的机会，别让彼此都成为悔恨的受伤者！

So，让我们从此刻起帮助身边的三个人，一起来尽力改变世界，改变自我把！

让爱传出去8.21社会学老师尤金布置了一样作业，想一个点子让这个世界变得更好并付诸行动。

初一学生崔佛的点子是帮助三个人改变他们的生活并让他们也改变三个人的生活。

（传销啊）为此他请流浪汉住进家里，可惜流浪汉沉迷毒品。

但崔佛的主意却在城市里渐渐流传开来。

一群人变得愿意帮助人。

同时崔佛撮合尤金和妈妈在一起（影响身边的人），尤金是一个循规蹈矩的人，这让他很痛苦，但他开始了两人的恋爱关系。

这时崔佛的生父回来了，他原来一直酗酒殴打他妈妈，麦基尼让他回来了，这让尤金回忆起了原来自己的遭遇。

麦基尼找回了自己的妈妈，外婆之前流浪街头，他们团聚在一起给崔佛过生日。

记者找到崔佛采访他，因为他的活动已经传到了洛杉矶和旧金山，崔佛刚刚接收完采访却被坏孩子刺死。

许多人慕名来送别崔佛。

这是一个充满爱的故事。

在这个故事里，爱无分年龄、无分性别、无分肤色，不管你是身家丰厚的律师还是露宿街头的瘾君子，人的内心始终流淌着爱的血液，但他们被这个世界善意地对待，这份爱就会受到感召并且被传递出去。

我感触最深的是小男主角崔弗在接受采访的时候那发自内心纯真的笑容，他说，“有些人太害怕了，或者认为事情总会改善的，这世界还不算太烂。

习惯原本生活的人不容易改变，就算现状很糟也很难改变，他们还是放弃了，他们一放弃，就大家都是输家”。

诚然崔弗所说，改变自己原本的生活方式是一件困难的事，这需要勇气去突破。

尽管如此，就算做了努力也不一定让我们看到回报，但是请相信只要怀揣散播爱的种子，不管我们见到与否，这个世界会因为我们的举动而变得更加美好一些。

崔弗曾经以为自己的行善都失败了，但其实只要不放弃一颗爱心，这个世界一定会变得更加美好，这个世界会温柔地对待每一个有爱的人，人与人之间的猜忌会逐渐消解，世界会建立更多的信任与爱。

而这，正是我从这部电影里面所感受到的美好。

改变是一件困难的事，但是我愿意踏出第一步，用爱去接纳、帮助需要被爱的人。

我愿意相信，我的一个善举，会让这个世界变得不同。

Page 0 The protagonist is ironing his shirt. We can see from his hand and face that he has been burned before.Page 1 A reporter hears the police communication about a violent crime taking place, so he rushes to the scene to get the scoop. Instead, his car is crashed by the criminal and the police are just too busy with the chase to notice. Then a stranger shows up and gives him a brand new Jaguar out of the blue. The reporter is freaked out about the generosity. (TEASER)Page 5 4 months earlier. A school with metal detectors at the entrance. The students are not strangers to sex and violence. Trevor saves a little kid from the bullies who try to bring knives into the school without triggering the metal detector. Page 6 The students enter the classroom while the teacher is working on his map. When he turns to the students, they are silenced by the burn scars on his face. The teacher introduces himself and he is the social study teacher. He talks about the truth of why the kids don’t have to think about the world. And why the kids should do something to change the world before they are face to face with the huge disappointment. Trevor is inspired when he learns that the teacher changes the world by passing knowledge to the students. (EMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR TREVOR. THE TEACHER HAS THE IDEA BUT NOT THE COURAGE AS HE HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE)Page 12 Trevor rides bicycle in the desert and back to his neighborhood. He rides to the place where homeless people are gathering. (PHYSICAL OPPORTUNITY FOR TREVOR)Page 15 The stripper club. The waitress refuses to drink as she has promised her kid and she turns down sexual offers on the ground of marriage. She turns out to be Trevor’s mother who calls to check on him, not knowing that he has brought a homeless guy home, eating with him. There is obviously some communication issue between the mother and son.Page 18 The mother gets off work and takes the bus home. When she gets home, Trevor is already asleep. She goes to the garage and thinks for a while. Finally he finds a bottle of alcohol from the washing machine and drinks with great satisfaction. Not knowing that the homeless guy is sleeping in the back of the truck. But in the middle of the night, Trevor still finds out about the empty bottle.Page 22 The next morning, Trevor expresses his anger about her sneaking of the alcohol. Just when they are arguing, the homeless guy appears asking for toilet paper. The mother is so shocked that she kicks the guy out, which makes the son even angrier and tells his mother that she won’t understand the assignment from the teacher.Page 24 The mother goes to see the teacher angrily. The teacher sees through the communication issue between mother and son right away. The mother is so frustrated that she attacks the scar on his face. The teacher takes the insult in. The mother looks up the words she doesn’t understand in the dictionary.Page 27 The reporter comes to see the stranger who is a senior partner at a law firm asking about what is going on with “pay it forward”. So the lawyer talks about his story: when he was in the hospital with his daughter without any doctor taking care of them, he had an argument with the nurse. A black patient is angry about the situation and fires his gun to get the nurse’s attention, which the lawyer appreciates very much. That’s how he learned about “paying it forward.”Page 30 The mother is woken up by the noises in the garage. It turns out to the homeless guy again who has fixed his truck. He talks about how Trevor gave him hope, how he knows the value of the opportunity and what is at stake. He also talks about the concept of “paying it forward”, which piques his mother’s interest. (CHANGE OF PLAN: PAY IT FORWARD STARTS TO TAKE EFFECT IN PEOPLE’S LIVES)Page 33 Trevor explains the concept to the class. At the same time, the homeless guy explains it to the mother, who is emotionally connected with him. The teacher is impressed by the idea and calls it admirable. For the first time, Trevor comes to the teacher personally and asks him about his true opinion of his idea. He also asks him about his face. But the teacher thought it was just a prank played by the class until he sees that Trevor walks away alone.Page 38 Trevor goes to knock on the door of the homeless guy, who is too weak to come out to see Trevor as he is back to drugs again. He crosses Jerry out from his notebook. He writes down his teacher’s name on his notebook as the next person he is going to help. (COMPLICATIONS FROM THE HOMELESS GUY)Page 41 Trevor gives his teacher a note nervously. He tries to setup a date between his teacher and his mother, successfully. He lies to them individually and even lights a candle to nudge them to have dinner together. Everything is doing well until the sponsor comes to interrupt. (PROGRESS WITH THE TEACHER. THIS IS UNIQUE AS THE TEACHER INSPIRES THE KID INADVERTANTLY TO HELP HIMSELF.)Page 46 Trevor is angry that his mother messes the date up and deep down, she is still waiting for his father to come back. When Trevor starts to doubt her love, she slaps his son on the face and begins to look for alcohol everywhere until she finds one bottle from the lamp. When she comes back to her senses, she discovers that Trevor is missing. (EMOTIONAL COMPLICATIONS WITH THE MOTHER)Page 50 After she has called the police with no result, she has no choice but to call the teacher to look for him, as she doesn’t have a car. She becomes very honest with the teacher admitting that all of her friends are drunks, including herself. Finally they find Trevor in a bus station where a pedophile tries to seduce him. The teacher is so angry that he beats the shit out of the pedophile. The mother apologizes to Trevor from the bottom of her heart and admits to Trevor her big problem. The mother is very appreciative and asks the teacher to have dinner with her later. But the teacher doesn’t think it will be appropriate. (PROGRESS WITH THE TEACHER AND MOTHER BECAUSE OF TREVOR’S MISSING)Page 55 The reporter goes to the jail asking the black patient about “paying it forward”. He claims that it was his idea. (PROGRESS FOR THE REPORTER)Page 57 The teacher selects a shirt so that he can go to see the mother. He is like a teenage boy checking his hair before meeting her. He pretends that he bumps into the mother by pure accident and tries to invite her to dinner, very awkwardly. (THE TEACHER IS INSPIRED BY TREVOR)Page 59 The reporter comes to see his friend who works for the governor about pushing the parole date for the black patient.Page 60 The mother comes home late and it drives Trevor crazy. He picks dresses for his mother and makes her ready as soon as possible, fearing that lateness will be interpreted by the teacher as lack of respect. Meanwhile, the teacher is impatient about the time. The mother is so happy that his son has called a cab for her already. The mother arrives just before the teacher walks away. (POINT OF NO RETURN: DATE BETWEEN THE TEACHER AND THE MOTHER)Page 63 The reporter goes to jail again asking the black patient about his story. He was stealing a store and then helped by an old woman to escape from the police. When she tells him that he is not good enough to pay it forward, he insists on doing it. (POINT OF NO RETURN FOR THE REPORTER)Page 67 Trevor goes to play in the amusement park with his mother and sponsor. The mother is still trying to deny she is seeing the teacher. But the talk with the sponsor makes her realize the connection between them. When she asks the teacher to spend the night, although the teacher struggles really hard internally, he kisses her passionately until he snaps out of it. (RISE OF THE EMOTIONAL ANTAGONIST FROM THE TEACHER)Page 70 The reporter decides to look for the old lady, even though his girlfriend doesn’t understand the rationality behind it. (HIGHER EMOTIONAL STAKE FOR THE REPORTER)Page 71 At home, the teacher arranges his pictures with nice music on. Suddenly the mother rushes in and asks him if he looks down upon her. The teacher uses big words to compensate for his scars on the face. Although the mother tells him that she doesn’t care about the burns, the teacher still freaks out and is reluctant to step out of his comfort zone, which saddens the mother. (RISE OF THE EMOTIONAL ANTAGONIST FROM THE MOTHER)Page 74 The little kid is bullied by the rogue kids again. When Trevor sees it, he is lack of the courage to help. So the little kid is thrown into the garbage bin by the rogue kids in the end. Trevor is so sad that he crosses the name “Adam” from the notebook where the teacher’s name has already been crossed out.Page 76 The teacher comes to Trevor as he has cut his class. But Trevor is very disappointed in the teacher as he stops calling his mother. Trevor tells the teacher that paying it forward doesn’t work and pushes him to call his mother before his father comes back. Trevor is profoundly disappointed that he couldn’t change the world. (RISE OF THE ANTAGONIST FROM TREVOR)Page 80 As the mother is cleaning the refrigerator, the teacher comes to knock on the door and makes love to her. He reluctantly shows her scars on the body. The next morning, when Trevor finds out that the teacher has spent the night, he is so happy that he asks the teacher to pay it forward. (HIGHER STAKES)Page 83 The reporter drives his new Jaguar to seek his story. Meanwhile, the homeless guy saves a lady’s life on a bridge when he asks the lady to save his life.Page 86 Trevor is having the time of his life with his teacher and mother watching wresting until his father comes back. He promises to his mother that he is sober now. The teacher has no choice but to leave. Trevor is devastated. (EVERYTHING IS LOST)Page 90 The mother comes to see the teacher explaining that she wants to give the father a chance. The teacher is so angry at her decision that he tells her the story about how his father abused his mother and burned him for life. (FINAL EMOTIONAL PUSH FROM THE TEACHER)Page 95 Trevor and the reporter meet for a second by accident. The father is very angry about the fact that Trevor’s not talking to him and he has been drinking. So his mother admits that she has made a mistake and kicks him out of the house. Meanwhile, the report goes around the town, doing his investigations. (FINAL PUSH FROM THE MOTHER)Page 98 Trevor is angry that the teacher is not paying it forward to his mother. But the teacher refuses to do that as he is mad at her for making the wrong decision no matter how hard Trevor begs. (FINAL PUSH FROM TREVOR)Page 102 The reporter finds the homeless old lady, who tells him that she got the idea from his daughter. It turns out that she is Trevor’s grandma and the mother came to find her and forgive what the grandma has done according to Trevor’s wishes. (FINAL PUSH FROM THE REPORTER)Page 106 Trevor’s 12 year old birthday party. He is disappointed that the teacher is not here. The reporter finds the boy at home and tells him that the movement has reached LA. (EVERYTHING IS TRULY LOST)Page 108 The reporter takes the boy to the school so that he can conduct the interview. During the interview, Trevor talks about how much he has failed because some people are just too scared to make changes and makes the world a shitty place.Page 110 The teacher suddenly wakes up and doesn’t want to be one of those scared people Trevor was talking about. He kisses the mother with passion. Meanwhile, Trevor sees his friend being beat up again. This time he musters enough courage to help. But before the teacher can intervene, the boy is stabbed by the bad boys to death. (FINAL PUSH BY THE TEACHER; RESCUE AND SACRIFICE FROM TREVOR)Page 115 After his death, the news celebrates what Trevor has done for the world. In the middle of the night, the mother and teacher wake up and are stunned to see how people line up to celebrate Trevor’s life.Page 120 Directed by Mimi Ledger

不知道是哪个天才得出这个美丽的想法，这个在计算机中叫做三叉树，应用于现实中的做善事，做好事，我觉得太美好了。

我想怎么能让爱传递呢？

电影太过美好，希望做些什么，能鼓励人们传递下去。

世界很黑暗，现在人与人之间的信任都已经不复存在了，你对谁好，可能还会成为东郭先生，因而人们在做好事面前都退缩了，人们自私的习惯接受别人的好，却不愿意付出。

如果你认为这个世界让人不满意，让人失望，那么从今天开始，你要想一个办法，将这个社会中不想要的东西通通去除，把这个世界重新改造一次。

这就是你们这个学期的课外作业，一个可以改造这个世界的作业，不能只是空想，它必须能够付诸实行，并且从你开始执行。

——让爱传出去Pay It Forward 童星海利的演技很出色，不管是在《阿甘正传》《第六感》还是《让爱传出去》。

暂且不说角色的塑造，光是剧本体现的让爱传出去的主题，就很是温情了。

我觉得，看电影就是看世界善与恶、美与丑交锋，作为旁观者的我们，总能得到清醒的认识。

电影带给我们的不是肤浅的哭和笑，我们需要思考，让电影照进现实，让现实变得与我们想象中的影像一样美好。

世界上存在太多的令人无奈的事情，我们仿佛无能为力，但不代表我们就只能漠视这一切，像陌生人微笑或伸出援助的手，不论得失，不计后果，把爱传递出去，相信世界将洒满爱的阳光，一切丑恶的东西都将无处遁形。

爱是看不见的语言 爱是摸不到的感觉 爱是我们小小的心愿 希望你平安快乐永远 爱是仰著头的喜悦 爱是说不出的感谢 爱是每天多付出一点点 双手合十不在乎考验 让爱传出去 它像阳光温暖我和你 不管有多遥远 总有到的那一天 让爱传出去 那前方漫漫人生路 有你的祝福 没有过不去的苦 倘若大千世界中的每个人能向第三个行善——而这三人中的每一位再透过另外三人行善的方式【让爱传出去】，如此一再循环下去，直到世界改变为止，试想这个世界将何其美丽？

I was impressed by Trevor. Although he's just a seventh grade boy, he reminds me of person's growing up is a lonely process or progress. On most people's mind, they look forward a better life. Especially, for children, they do believe there is a beautiful world and they will have a better and better life, a wonderful marriage, a peaceful circumstance, the best parents. However as they are growing up, things seem to change or they just find the truth that the world is not prefect as they thought, life is not just full of happiness; marriage may not sweet; parents are not strong as we thought; people around you may be indifferent and torture you. I think most people will find that truth. There is no denying that it's disappointed. But what most people do? I think they just get used to that, that imperfect world, that disappointed world. Moreover, they become an indifferent person that they swear they won't be when they are children. At these time, these people are getting lost, and hopeless. I think Trevor just didn't want to be that kind of person, he didn't want to be hopeless and want to change that condition. And change his loved one, his mother. I admire him. He's trying to rescue himself and his mother and the world because I believe most people are not able to take good care of themselves not even take good care of others they cared.

（上）情人节的晚上，待着无事，看了一部关于爱的影片。

这个片子是从一个朋友处知道的，她的网上签名是pay it forward。

我英语不灵光，就虚心求教。

她告诉我说是让爱传出去，我听得一愣一愣的，怎么怎么就把爱传出去了，这英语够玄妙的。

后来才知道是一部影片的名字，我的困惑才告结束。

片子的演员都很有名气。

不过我感兴趣的不在这里，而是片子的主题。

情节是这样的，一个老师给一帮初中孩子讲社会学，谈人与社会的关系，并布置了一个作业：做一件事看能否改变世界。

孩子们的答案五花八门，比如有个方案比较搞笑，让中国的孩子们一齐起跳，目的是为了落地时引起的震动可以改变地球运行轨道。

这算不算改变世界？

哈哈，当然算。

但我们主人公的方案则很别致，他的方案是每个人帮助另外三个人做一件好事，解决他们不能解决的问题。

然后这三个人再分别传给其他三个人，于是一传三，三传九，依次类推，这样世界将变得越来越美好。

然后，这个小孩子就开始了他改变世界的行动，先是一个流浪汉，然后是他的老师，最后是他的同学。

不过令他悲哀的是，他的行动似乎都失败了，流浪汉没有改变吸毒的行为，他的老师不能原谅这孩子的母亲，用爱将她从酗酒中拯救出来，那个同学呢，当他被几个坏小子欺负的时候，小主人公退缩了，没有挺身而出。

不过还好，影片同时进展着两条线索。

当小主人公垂头丧气之际，一个远在洛杉矶的受爱心传递之益的记者开始了他追本溯源的行动。

爱心的传递或许没有像小主人公预想的路线行进，但爱本身自有渠道闪烁光亮，即使与那黑暗之处相隔遥远，也能让人感受到爱的温暖。

在影片中，两条线索同时展开，相逆而行，最终碰撞出炫目的火花，这个孩子交出了一份圆满的答卷。

可是，只能说可是了。

正当我以为一切皆大欢喜的时候，因为孩子的老师都被孩子的话打动，终于勇敢地去爱孩子的母亲，激情的亲吻好像昭示着大功告成，但就在此时，喜悦的河流出现了漩涡。

小主人公在他的同学又一次受欺负的时候，勇敢地选择了出手相助，却不幸被误杀。

这个结局有些让人意外，母亲和老师无比悲哀，但当他们望向窗外，发现也许有些事情足以告慰。

满怀爱意的人群集聚在外面，手捧蜡烛，献上鲜花，而更远处，在无边的夜色中爱的车流向这里涌来，这世界或许真的改变了。

影片情节设计的挺有新意，演员也很有表现力，不过由于这主题太重大了，我虽然看电影爱掉眼泪，不过毕竟过了容易受忽悠的年龄，所以想打动我也不是那么容易。

的确，这个孩子的方案刚一提出，他的同学们就纷纷表示不可行。

这是很有意思的一个情节，因为很显然，如那个老师所说，这个方案建立在人性本善的假设和对此假设的充分信心上。

大人们鼓励但不会认可，连孩子们也都从自己的直接经验出发不予认同。

作为观众，我们也不妨作同样思考，我猜想大多数人恐怕会有和主人公外那些人同样的反应。

不过我们不能忽略这么一点，那老师在布置作业前曾说过：possible。

可能性。

我猜想那个孩子就是为这句话打动的。

如果不行动会怎样？

行动也许失败，但不行动连可能性都没有了。

这正是理想主义的心理基础。

而理想主义，理想主义不也正总被嘲笑为幼稚吗？

因此，可能只有孩子才会想如此改变世界吧，换个成人，恐怕会演变成传销。

小主人公曾自以为方案失败了，挫折能引发思考，所以最后在采访他时他才能说出那样成熟的话。

他意识到了爱心传递的困难，他说（大意）：1、在这个传递过程中，如果不能坚持下去，那么每个人都会成为失败者（潜台词是谁也不能永远付出而不能有回报）；2、许多人都安于现状，不愿意付诸行动去改变，即使现状很糟糕；3、要帮助别人，就要仔细观察，了解他们需要什么帮助，因为许多人自己都不清楚自己有什么问题需要解决。

老实讲，看到这里我对这个孩子真是很佩服，能说出这些话来，他已经强于许多成人。

尤其是那个老师，作为社会学老师，他应该有愧于自身的角色，当观念与行动不能统一的时候，其语言迹近于欺骗，其内心迹近于伪善，其人格迹近于怯懦。

还好，在影片中，那个老师醒悟了。

而作为观众，恐怕要长久引起警惕。

因为，这是多数人的常态。

影片保持了必要的分寸，这点让我欣赏。

这编剧真是聪明，用孩子的死亡来表达影片与现实世界的联系，而不至于虚幻。

最终他表明，爱心传递或许能改变一些事情，但能否改变世界没有答案。

如那个孩子所说，许愿的时候蜡烛已经吹熄了。

众人点起蜡烛的时候，是编导让我们在残酷世界中燃亮的希望，当信念之光真实的闪亮，那么遥未可知的未来或许也就有迹可寻。

（下）我看电影主要看两个东西，一个是影片的内在逻辑是否合理，一个是演员是否能够诠释到位。

如果两者都符合预期，我就觉得这影片不错，倘若超越了自身的经验和想象范围，那只好用震撼来形容了。

从这个角度说，象前些日子的大片《无极》就是典型的骗钱的片子，80大洋至今让我耿耿，我总想不通导演混到陈凯歌这份上，怎么可以无耻至此。

若不是人格的问题，那就不得不将之归入到江郎才尽乃至低能的圈子里。

当然也不能过分苛求，拍一部好电影很难很难，所以不必要求片子处处精彩，某些东西如果能打动人，那么也可以接受。

譬如某些武打片，情节可能是幼稚的，人物可能是简单的，但只要武打有创意，看了依然是种享受。

那些印度歌舞片也不妨这样来看。

那么《让爱传出去》呢？

我在上篇中说了，演员的表演中规中矩，情节也不错，不过我看了之后总有些不踏实，好像哪里不对头。

我只好在内在逻辑上找原因。

看一部作品，观众总会有代入心理，因此小主人公的爱心传递能够打动我们，通过情节的进展，满足自身的心理上的高尚追求。

但有一个问题，影片刻意回避了某些人和某些问题。

首先，为什么要传递爱心，因为这世界是糟糕的，有些人遇到不能解决的问题，需要我们帮助。

但是，这个标准是什么呢？

所以影片中我第一个疑问就产生了，流浪汉的境遇凄惨，这或许容易判断，自己的妈妈酗酒，生活不幸福也是可以感受到的，那么老师的境遇，小主人公如何能理解？

他固执地认为老师可以拯救他的母亲，影片也很配合地做出了相应安排，但假如不呢？

假如老师不会爱上孩子的妈妈怎么办？

我们可以说无巧不成书嘛，但这未免脆弱，毕竟片子是按正剧拍的，不是到处是巧合的喜剧，所以我总用怀疑的眼光看待这老师和孩子妈妈的交往，不无恶意地推想由此可能导致的情节崩溃。

其次，爱心似乎是有选择的。

比如恶人是不能拯救的，象孩子的父亲就是爱心不能关照的人。

当孩子的妈妈说给他一个机会的时候，影片告诉我们她错了。

老师声泪俱下地痛斥孩子的母亲，那一刻，我的情感被演员的表演感动到顶点，但怀疑也上升到了顶点。

如果爱心是有甄别的，如果有些人被认为是不能改造的，那么怎么指望爱心传递可以改变世界？

其他具体而微的问题就不必细说了，我只是明白了我的不安所在。

当不把自己代入为施与者，而是接受者的时候，有些东西才能明晰。

别人有什么权力判断我的处境？

有什么权力为我做出安排？

特别是如果当施与者认为我不能被施予爱心的时候，是不是可以反过来认为施与者施与我的是恶？

因此，当一个人以上帝心态要来拯救我的时候，我的反应必然是不寒而栗。

推而广之，我们或许可以理解当年的殖民罪恶和现今世界的霸权行径。

殖民者未必个个都是青面獠牙，以攫取财富为乐事，某些霸权国家更是言必称民主自由，然而当标准和权力只掌握在某一方手里的时候，爱心也就变了味道。

因此，我宁肯服膺马克思的客观分析，对爱心一类的东西敬而远之，这个真实世界需要的是更为真实的工具来剖析、理解和改造。

但就个人而言，所谓的爱心或许更应该是一种分寸吧。

让爱传出去，其基点似乎更应该是尽自己的本分，不做坏事比去做好事更加重要。

当年我们那么大力提倡学雷锋，但社会风气和人的素质是否有根本改观恐怕不必我多言了。

以为外在的所谓好事可以代替个人的自我反省批判，这就不再是理想主义，而是把人性善推到了神话的境地，倘如此，我们还何必处心积虑作好事呢？

影片的逻辑矛盾不能使我信服，我若有孩子，会提醒他这世界并非如我们想象，爱是好事，但可能会给别人带来伤害，所以，要小心。

爱传出去与否还在其次，首先不妨问问自己什么是爱并先爱好自己。

也正是从这个角度来说，片子还是不错的，可以让我想这么多，这个情人节，也因此变得有点意义，毕竟提醒孩子的话也可以提醒自己：爱，但要小心。

只是这一点是否关乎爱情，我还不知道。

网上对这部片子的评价很一般，除了赞叹奥斯卡影帝影后和实力小童星（正太咩）的演技外，对故事情节并没有太多赞誉之声，可是我却被这个理想化的idea深深触动。

从小就是一个没有梦想的人，活得浑浑噩噩，没有为了一件事真正执着地坚持过。

自诩为善良的孩子，可扪心自问，所做的一切努力只是让自己过得更好，却对身边的世界没有任何影响。

我不知道这叫主人翁意识还是英雄主义，但是美国人这种改变世界的梦想真的让我钦佩。

一个小孩子，想通过自己的努力帮助三个人，这三个人在分别帮助三个人……爱就这样传了出去。

我数学不好，可是3的n次方的力量有多大显而易见。

When someone does you a big favor, don't pay it back，pay It Forward。

我想片名就是这样来的吧。

你看到天桥下的流浪汉，看到地铁里的卖艺者，为什么无动于衷？

你看到那么多的孩子，睡在工棚里，没有学上，对自己的未来无能为力，为什么无动于衷？

你看到鲸油成了工业的宝，羚羊绒成了脖上的围巾，为什么无动于衷？

你看到政客为了党派之争，为了一己私欲无视民众利益，为什么无动于衷？

是的，世界是shit，那你就在一旁冷眼旁观，继续作个小人物无动于衷？

就继续抱怨着不公不幸不完美，然后期待别人成为英雄振臂一挥才开始响应？

我们总说不甘平庸，想活出精彩来，但事实是面对看起来难以改变的事情，我们选择了无作为。

可是，也许改变就从影响三个人开始。

我恨我的平庸，我恨我的弱小，可是我更恨我没有尝试就退缩，一辈子活在习惯中，在习惯中一步步烂掉。

你可以说这是理想化，是不成熟，那你怎么知道这不是不敢不愿自私自利的借口。

愿我们中国人可以，过得更疯狂。

【嘿，我叫不搭调……】凯文·斯帕西，《美国丽人》里的怪叔叔，演了那么多变态，终于温情了一把，果然正常角色还是配不上他的演技啊。

惊讶的在电影里看到了熟悉的脸。

Travor 班里的一个小正太看着特别眼熟，专门查了一下后边的cast名单，果然是在desperate housewives 里演Bree 的儿子的Shawn Pyfrom那时才14岁啊。

好吧，我承认这个pay it forward 的idea让我想起了那个TED里讲的什么“部落”，make a difference 的思想也贯穿始终 = =阴魂不散呐
