“如果有人爱真实的我，也许我会有勇气正视自己.
但对我来说，这个可能性很小”，伯格曼的绝对孤独背后是对自我的探寻，只有当一个人无法对待生活与自我的时候才会将全部意义寄托于他人，但家庭作为一个特殊的社会场域和节点却需要人将自己的一部分交托出去，付出的部分无法掌握和收回，以至于会影响本来的自我. 一个看似控制欲旺盛其实是过度封闭，一个貌似内向自闭但向往无限扩张，母亲通过不停的追逐抛弃女儿的同时塑造模型，女儿则用良心的谴责让母亲匍匐于自己的痛苦之中. 大量近景镜头逼问的是观看者. 即使是面对面的控诉，至亲之间尚且无法和解，对爱与自私的戳破最真诚而无情. 每个人专注自己的痛苦，却忘了带给他人的灼烧，争吵其实也是喃喃自语. 全片最关心无法言说悲喜却困于肉体中的赫莲娜. 暮年的伯格曼最后温情的给出了一封没有终点的信Apparently one of Altman's masterpieces, a groundbreaking 70's movie, a daring take on a legendary character. I guess I just didn't get it. Following the plot is not particularly harduous - as much as it the plot reveal itself, for mysterious elements linger even after THE final revelation. The 70's society commentary can be read between the lines, while the humour pleases by its accessibility and finesse. Not quite enough to appreciate the movie at its true value. Reading the original novel, being acquainted with Philip Marlowe & his previous incarnations, as well as knowing by heart film noir's tropes & substance, that's what is needed for really GETTING it.曾经的脱衣舞秀台柱“魔力麦克”麦克·莱恩，因为一次交易失败小本生意彻底破产，在一家酒吧当着酒保，遇上了塞尔玛·海耶克饰演的女精英马可桑德拉，受诱惑再一次踏上了舞台——这一次是在伦敦，他们决定带来一场前所未见的大秀.
