今天又看了一遍非關男孩（About a Boy），這部片子前前後後也看了四五次，每次看都有不同的感受，看DVD的英文字幕後更能了解劇中的趣味（也可以說是一種惡趣味？:p），明明英文片名叫About a Boy，但中文譯成非關男孩？在看完這部電影後我發出了會心一笑...
導演Paul &Chris Weitz兄弟（執導過美國派）改編自名作家Nick Hornby的作品，這個充滿濃濃英國現代雅痞風味的電影在2002放映，劇情大意是一個將生活切割成一個個三十分鐘單位、維持著「Man is an island」信念的單身貴族Will遇上一個死小鬼Marcus，從疏離、厭惡，到需要與幫助的一連串事件。
除了片中Will個人住的豪宅和跑車讓我羨慕不已（笑）外，最後Will說出的那一段話，也代表我對整個片子的感覺，尤其在片中大量運用的內心話常讓我噗哧一笑:)，讓整個影片生動起來，交叉描述Will和Marcus個性完全和外表不符合的小大男孩，也使電影節奏輕快不已。
咦，到底Will在最後說了什麼啊？到片末Will還是維持著「Man is an island」的信念，不過他也補上一段相當有趣的一段話...Everyone is an island. But clearly some men are parts of island chains. Below the surface of the ocean, they are actually connected. 至於那裡有趣，請你去看一下電影囉:p

fantasic movie
No man is an island,
entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less,
as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were:
any man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind,
and, therefore,
never send to know for whom the bells tolls;
it tolls for thee.
-- John Donne
There's also a song named "no man is an island", perhaps, which starts at the beginning of this movie.
to Joyce：
原來有這樣的由來！
上了一課:D
I thought I was an island, before I read this movie. Share this love with me.
