Any Given Sunday

昨天早上還在準備學校的事情
下午電話進來，整個節奏都被打亂了
雖然是早就預料得到、早晚會發生、甚至還有點期待的
但當真的確定了
還是感到放空、無力

回家攤在沙發上睡了一會兒
醒來正好看見HBO在撥Any Given Sunday
就這樣又看了一次
整個人的精神，才慢慢恢復了過來

其實我至少看過這部片20次以上了
每次在電視上看見這部跟Spy Game
時間允許，我幾乎都會把它看完

第一次看這部片，應該是2000年年初
一個諸是不順、自己把自己囚禁在死牢的冬季
週日午夜不想睡，也不知道做什麼
跑去長春隨便挑部電影打發時間，就挑到這個
也不能說看完之後改變了人生觀、整個人生開始大放光明
畢竟我還是在谷底盤旋了四年
但是走出戲院之後
我至少有勇氣用僅有的力量和命運抗爭、和自己搏鬥

Al Pacino是個煽情到爐火純青、收放自如的演員
他的眼神跟他的演說，更是無人可以比擬
Scent of a Woman、The Devil's Advocate 跟Any Given Sunday
可以說是他演說功力最經典的呈現
附一下Any Given Sunday中最精彩的一場演講
Al Pacino飾演的總教練Tony D'Amato在終場休息室的講話
整部電影前面鋪陳的梗
透過風格強烈的Oliver Stone導演的鏡頭，連結了起來
沒有第二個人的台詞
可是每個人的表情、眼神，每個畫面的構成與切換
彷彿都在和教練對話



I don't know what to say really. Three minutes till the biggest battle of our professional lives. It all comes down to today. Now either we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play, till we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell. One inch at a time.

Now I can't do it for you. I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces, and I think... I mean I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me, and lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life, things get taken from you. That's part of life. But you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life's this game of inches. And so is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small. I mean... one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow too fast, you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch.

On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying! I'll tell you this - in any fight, its the guy whose willing to die who's gonna win that inch. And I know if I'm going to have any life anymore, it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch. Because that's what living is! The 6 inches in front of your face...

Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you're gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it, you're gonna do the same for him.

That's a team, gentlemen. And either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die, as individuals. That's football, guys. That's all it is. Now, what are you going to do?
