En route to Vincent 3.0

《深夜加油站遇見蘇格拉底》

這是一部電影的名字也是書名
但我只看過電影 剛剛才看過
中文譯名就是照劇情翻的

This Moment 我對這部片最有感覺的兩個字
但真正的片名叫 Peaceful Warrior
中文譯名比較白話 開門見山告訴你這部電影的類型
英文原名則有更多一點的禪意

以下是我的感想對照目前我閉上眼睛就可以看見的predicament
獻給我正在想念的人

Dear Ben,

I have just watched this movie for the past 2 hrs. In this movie, I heard something quite familiar. It's "journey". That's what you can feel happy, not destination. It's quite familiar because this was what you told me. I thouhgt of the preface of my dissertation two year ago. At that time, I wrote I did really cherish my journey because everything is beyond my imagination, like the whole thing we had experienced together. At that time, I thought I had learnt this, JOURNEY.

But, somehow, sometimes I feel lost here. I am not contented with myself. But, there are deadlines of 2 papers and 4 exams, lasting for the whole May days, waiting for me in the end of this month. Time presure drives me crazy. But, I realise the thing really drives me crazy is my lazy bones. My enemy is "me"self. What I fail to learn is controlling myself. Like told in the movie, getting rid of everything in your mind. My whole brain is occupied by many "shits"(sorry, this is what the movie uses.), such as what if I fail, how my parents, you and even Dr. Lan would think to me.

While writing this, I went back to see the ending again.
The ending is:
Hey Dan( first actor) , where are you ?　HERE
What time is it?　　NOW
What are you?　　THIS MOMENT


*  *

Where and what am I?? Sure, the answer should have to be this moment.

This moment, I am missing you. To me, you are my Socrates.
