骄傲

       看过本片之后，不能自已。本片用简单的人类情感表达提出了一个很直白的观点，即何为追求平等？平等并不是为某一个群体，某一些人的平等，平等属于所有人。
       今年hong港发生了类似的事件，一些hong港的学生提出了他们的权利。他们的勇敢感动了许多人，于是有基督教的朋友，有同性恋的朋友，有hong港d立和tai湾d立的朋友，有海外的华人朋友，难能可贵的还有我们大陆的朋友，冒着各种压力和风险，都加入进来要表达的自己的权利。
       这时我想起了本片反复出现的台词，“我们工会有一面旗帜，上面是一双紧握的手。这面旗帜有100多年历史了。”无论，你是什么人，无论你的想法为何，你支持我，我即支持你。
       但很可惜的，经过一段时间以后，基督教的朋友看不了同性恋的朋友，香港和台湾d立的朋友恨死了大陆和华侨朋友，中产阶级又嫌弃工人和小商贩朋友，而所有成年人又有很多看不惯该在学校读书的中学生，写繁体字（使用的人称为正体字）的人看不惯写简体字的人，人们在一点一点自我瓦解，相互轻贱。
       同样的，我们如今在网上讨论问题的时候，也是如此。先攻击对方的身份，男女、学生还是工作、本地人外地人、北方人南方人、有钱人和无钱人、领域内领域外、会不会英文、有否出国、知识多寡、阅历富浅、城市还是农村、有没有信仰、到底出生在哪个年份、到底有没有用过特定的产品、看过特定的电影、知不知道哪个特定的人、去过特定的网站……多如牛毛的分类，把每个人称为人的基本特质所抹杀，分割为一个个——有时甚至是只有一个人的小团体，寄希望于因此可以找到同伴聚集力量，寻求最后的平等。然而却不知从一开始就失去了平等的机会。

        

「Sixteen for the breeders, 21 for the gays. You're still a minor.」


「Lesbians and gays support the miners.」


「What I'd really like to say to you tonight is thank you. If you're one of the people that's put money in these buckets, if you've supported LGSM, then thank you, because what you've given us is more than money. It's friendship. When you're in a battle against an enemy so much bigger, so much stronger than you, well, to find out you had a friend you never knew existed, well, that's the best feeling in the world. So, thank you.」


「I know all about what happens when people don't talk to each other. That's why I've never understood what's point of supporting gay rights but nobody else's rights? You know? Or worker's rights but not women's rights. It's... I don't know, illogical.

There's a lodge banner down in the welfare, over 100 years old. We bring it out for special occasions, you konw. I'll show it to you one day. It's a symbol, like this. Two hands. That's what the labor movement means. Should mean. You support me, I support you. Whoever you are, wherever you come from. Shoulder to shoulder, hand to hand.」


「So, you live together like, you know, husband and wife. But what I want to know is...
↓
I know what you're going to say.
↓
Which one does the housework?
↓
Oh, Ok. That's not what I thought you was going to say.」


「Desperate people, they'll believe anything.」


「♫Bread and Roses♫」


「Say not the struggle naught availeth,
The labour and the wounds are vain,
The enemy faints not, nor faileth,
And as things have been they remain.
 
If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars;
It may be, in yon smoke conceal'd,
Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers,
And, but for you, possess the field.
 
For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back, through creeks and inlets making,
Comes silent, flooding in, the main.
 
And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light;
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
But westward, look, the land is bright!
                             —— Arthur Hugh Clough」


「There's nothing worse than a lost cause.」


「My mother. She could not accept me.
↓
Not then, perhaps.
↓
She's religious. She hasn't said one word to me in 16 years.
↓
And what about you? What words have you said to her?」


「When somebody calls you a name, you take it and you own it.」


「You think you've known someone your whole life. Turns out they're a complete stranger.」


「Have some pride. Because life is short, okay? It's short.」


「Where are my lesbians? Where are my lesbians?」


「Miners support lesbian & gay.」


「On June 29th, 1985, London's gay pride march was led by Welsh miners in a show of solidarity for LGSM's support during the strike.」


 「A year after the strike ended a motion was tabled at the labour party conference to enshrine gay and lesbian rights into the party's manifesto. Although the motion had been raised before, this time it was passed. This was due, in part, to a block vote of total approval from one key union... The national union of mineworkers.」

说实话，可能我是比较笨的人吧。看到这部电影的时候真没去考虑是什么主题的。结果看了以后才知道说的是同性恋群体的一些事。我承认，刚开始我是因为好奇这个特殊的群体，并且希望可以多了解一点有关他（她）们的事，所以才看了下去。真的没有想到，看到后面已经津津有味，为了主人公们的遭遇而感同身受。在结尾处，他们终于骄傲的进行游行，并且一个个介绍之后的事情的时候，我竟莫名的有些想哭的冲动，也哪许这就是所谓的感动了吧。哪怕遭受再多责难，依旧勇敢得面对。那句人生何其短暂，要骄傲的活下去。我感受到了阿什顿那颗炙热的心。导演深刻的刻画出了小镇居民以及同性恋者们的各种想法，性格等等，能将一个真实事件改编的电影拍成这样，还有电影所表达出的那种永不服输的精神，就值得让我们去观看了。。

 但没想到在80年代非常保守意识下的英国，也曾有过纯爷们的矿工公会和同性者的联盟，如果不是纪实电影简直难以相信。我个人不喜欢同性者，对赞誉无数的断背山也很无感。像费城故事，米尔克，平常心等电影都是同性者追求自身权益的电影，只是出于公众道德才会表示支持。看完《骄傲》开始觉得，我这样冷淡的歧视者是不是才是最卑鄙的，虽然不会嘲笑他们，但也不会有行动上的支持。而被歧视的同性者们却主动支持工会罢工，用行动打开人们道德上的坚冰。
 宽容和理解不应该只出在嘴巴上，那是非常软弱的行为，就像我在教会的祷告一样软弱无力，因为这些东西都是来自虚空的应付，而无实际。十分付出才有一分获得，所以我觉得羞愧。这些80年代的同性恋者最终获得来自公会的支持，他们是配得这份骄傲的。
