The Goldfinch 金翅雀 (John Crowley, 2019)
Country: USA
Score:7/10
乃17世紀荷蘭畫家 Carel Fabritius的作品,他是巴洛克時期荷蘭畫派宗師Rembrandt最傑出的弟子。1654年,他32歲創作了「金翅雀」,但當年10月12日荷蘭代爾夫特的一處火藥庫爆炸,摧毀了這座城市不少建築,當時有一百多人喪生,數千人受傷,而 Fabritius不幸死於這場災難,畫作幾乎全毀,而「金翅雀」逃過此劫,也是他僅存至今的畫作之一。小說即是以畫作遭遇的事件借用,背景時間則拉到現代,主人Theo在13歲那年與母親到紐約大都會博物館參觀,結果遇到爆炸的恐怖襲擊,不少民眾喪生,母親也罹難,而他倖存下來,意外地帶走這幅在爆炸案中一樣倖存下來的畫作「金翅雀」。畫作中央一隻雀鳥單薄纖細的爪子被鐵鍊所拴住,羽毛的柔軟和骨骼的紋理細細刻畫,以腳鍊禁錮了一隻鳥,意味著雖非牢籠仍是掙不脫的束縛,這幅畫對於 Theo 而言不單只是年幼喪母與死亡陰影,同時更是連結著過去與未來、謊言與真實、人前的我與人後的我之關鍵。一如卡謬所言,荒謬帶來的不是自由,而是束縛?

面對大自然中的逆境和惡劣的氣候,小鳥兒們頑强的鬥志令人欽佩。
In the face of natural adversities and extreme weather, birds show admirable resilience.

在去年春天經歷的那塲暴風雨期間,我們非常擔心我們的小金翅雀父母。看著它們從花園裡最高的櫻花樹上來來去去,知道它們又回到我們園裡築巢了。狂風暴雨過後,發現它們努力築好的巢兒已被破壞,一半懸掛在樹枝上,當時實在為它們感到無比的痛心!金翅鳥媽媽分娩期肯定已非常接近,她是否有能力及時重建另一小巢呢? (金翅雀們習慣上是雌性小鳥築巢,雄性有時會將材料帶給她)。真希望能助它們一臂之力!
去年整個夏天,經常看到這對夫婦站在我們房子或花園上空的電纜上。猜想那時它們可能已經𧩙下了寶寶,並都已經安全孵化了。不知道它們的巢在哪兒,但看到媽媽爸爸似乎很愉快的樣子,因為每當見到它們時,總是歡樂地唱著悦耳的歌聲。
然後冬天來了,樹葉都枯落淨盡。我們卻很高興地發現,在最小的櫻花樹上露出一個整齊堅穩的小巢。金翅雀爸媽真的成功地為它們小寶貝及時建立了另一個安全的巢穴。父母對孩子的愛,心意和力量是何等偉大?!
今年是金翅雀家族連續第三年返回我們家的花園築巢了。金翅雀是非常善於交際的鳥類,它們喜歡與家人朋友一起生活。最近,在它們喜愛的那棵園中最高的櫻花樹附近再次看到出雙入對的飛舞身影。但願今年的天氣溫暖而平靜,好讓整個家庭平安渡過這次的築巢、產卵和孵化過程。
During the period of stormy weather we experienced last spring, we were really worried about our little goldfinch parents. We watched them coming and going from the tallest cherry blossom tree in our garden, having returned to nest there for another year. After the storms had passed, we discovered the nest that they worked so hard to build had been damaged and left half hanging from the branches, we were heartbroken for them! It must have been very close to the time when the mother was due to lay her eggs, would she have the energy to rebuild another nest in time? (The female goldfinch builds the nest, though the male may bring materials to her). If only we could give them a helping hand!
All throughout last summer, we continued to see the couple resting on the cables on top of our house or in our garden. We guessed that they must have had their chicks by then and hoped they had all hatched safely. We didn’t know where their nest was, but mummy and daddy seemed happy enough as they were always singing loudly and chirpily whenever we saw them.
Then winter arrived and the leaves fell; revealing a tiny, neatly built nest atop our smallest cherry blossom tree. We were so excited to discover that the goldfinch family had managed to build another safe nest in time for the arrival of their babies. How magnificent is the love, will-power and strength of parents when it comes to their children?!
This is now the third year in a row that the goldfinch family have returned to nest in our garden. Goldfinches are very sociable birds that live together in family groups, and sometimes flock with other finches. We saw them again recently near our tall cherry blossom tree - their favourite one. We dearly hope that the family have some mild and calm weather to help them with this year’s nesting and incubation period.

【《#猛禽小隊:#解瘋小丑女》開畫勁仆】
當年《自殺特攻:超能暴隊》劣評如潮,但票房凌厲,開畫甚至累收成績都唔錯,埋單全球收近7.5億美元,但「小丑女」單飛就唔多掂喇。雖然,「小丑女」得到唔錯口碑,但似乎大家都俾《自殺特攻》所嚇怕,首週末開畫只低收約3,300萬,即使係票房冠軍,都令業界大跌眼鏡。
套戲喺海外78個地方開畫,累收票房都係得約4,800萬,據Variety分析,亞洲地區嘅疫情問題,都係令套戲低收原因,生不逢時,而華納除咗《JOKER小丑》賺一筆外,舊年好似《安眠醫生》、《李察朱維爾:驚世懸案》、《The Goldfinch》等等全部都蝕到癲咗,今年真係睇可唔可以靠《神奇女俠1984》同《天能》翻身喇。
