疯狂店员:性格决定命运

94年的片子,黑白色调,记录了便利店店员Dante的一天。
小成本电影,取得了巨大的成功。

看到差不多一半时,我几乎失去耐心,想删掉这部片子。
其实片子里表现的都是真实的生活,只不过我觉得太无聊罢了。
直到最后,Dante和Randal之间的对话,才显现出深意。
Dante度过了糟糕的一天,本来他可以休息在家,结果发生一连串的事,让他终于爆发了。
Randal指出,这是他自己的问题,没有勇气改变,怨天尤人。
这恐怕是大多数小人物的悲哀吧。对现状不满,却又没有改变的勇气,the inability to imporve the station of life。
You blame life for dealing you a cruddy hand, never once accepting responsibility for the way your situation is.
This is a life of convenience for you and any attempt to change it would shatter the pathetic microcosm you've fashioned for yourself.

Dante的回答"I don't have the ability to risk the comfortable situations on the big money and fabulous prizes."

You like to think the weight of the world rests on your shoulder, like this place would fall apart if Dante wasn't here.
Us, we like to make ourselves seem so much more important than the people that come in to buy a paper or cigaretts.
We look down on them as if we're so advanced.

我想这是两种心态,却又基于某种相同的个性吧。
自负、自大、自卑、自怜。
性格决定命运。
