叛逆边缘

Rachel Row: Why do you want to die?

Jonathan: I don't want to die, I just don't want to be alive.

Jonathan: See, Dr Figure was a no-medication type of guy and all the hard core suicidals in his group - now including myself - had agreed not to kill or harm themselves before January 1st. I mean, can you imagine someone dead, hanging from the light fixture in their room, thinking, If my doctor finds out about this, I'm FUCKED."

Dr. Figure: What would you do if you were allowed home for the afternoon?

Jonathan: [inhales] Get a decent cup of coffee then I'd chop me head off with a chainsaw.

Dr. Figure: Okay. Uh - uh, just one thing. I wanted to propose something. It's like a pledge between doctor and patient. We nominate a day, like three weeks from now - like New Year's Day - and you mustn't harm yourself until that day. You have to stick to it. What do you think about that?

Jonathan: Yeah, I think it's a fuckin' ridiculous idea.

Dr. Figure: It's been known to work.

Jonathan: It won't work.

Dr. Figure: Might. Why don't you think about it?

Jonathan: Okay, hang on.

[sarcastically]

Jonathan: Um, I've thought about it. Fuck, you made a medical breakthrough. Well done, Doc.

Dr. Figure: Okay, well, we'll talk about it more after the session.

Jonathan: Well, you've given me the will to live and I want to thank you for that.

Dr. Figure: Then, after that, I will show you the benefits of being more sparing with your sarcasm. Okay? See ya.

Jonathan: Fuck you.

[leaves]

Jonathan: I know more about the business of suicide in my baby finger, than you do in all your years of training and Freud reading. I gurran-fuckin'-tee ya that.

[after Toby has killed himself]

Jonathan: You can never really know what was going through a person's mind at that exact moment. If they survive, they'll never tell you. If they succeed, all you can do is spend the rest of your life feeling guilty. You're only concern can be for the people they leave behind. They're the ones to look out for.

Rachel Row: It's beautiful here.

Jonathan: Can't take all this on your own.

Rachel Row: So you are all good now? Too many near death experiences you are beginning to think twice.

Jonathan: You wanna know the truth? If it's a matter of life and death between people like you and me, then I want to outlive you. And I want to see what happens to you. 'Cause I like ya.

Rachel Row: I don't know.

Jonathan: What if we are still together in a year?

Rachel Row: Would we be?

Jonathan: I can see it happening.

Rachel Row: I don't know. So do you think you love me?

Jonathan: I know I love you.

顺着“音乐人生三部曲”的藤逐渐摸到了这部的瓜，一部完完全全贴合我审美的电影。本以为最终会是一群“问题青年”在遭受心理创伤后相互疗愈彼此的故事，但是这样的结局大概才让我触及到它真正的主题。片名中的“edge”既指象征生死分界线的悬崖边，又指青年人在极乐和极悲之间即刻转换的极端心境，Toby在现实的推波助澜下选择在本应是他最快乐的一夜自尽。世事无常，但应当永远记住，无论生活多糟糕，活下去才是最重要的。

这一部关于抑郁、自杀，以及爱与救赎的电影。 整部电影呈现出了一种灰暗的色调。苦闷，压抑，阴冷，绝望。 然而，从男主偷了一辆自行车一路狂奔，男医生打电话请门卫放行任由他奔向悬崖时（那一刻我猜想他一定是要奔向悬崖），眼泪就开始止不住了。 一种感动缓缓涌来，直至汹涌澎湃。这种观影的快感一直持续到影片的结束，让人久久无法自拔。 电影的艺术魅力在这里展露无疑。 推荐您看这部电影《叛逆边缘》，相信你看过之后，不会失望的。
