Lisa Ray『Never Stop Fighting』日志翻译——From the Marrow.2009.9.7

来自骨髓的病魔
2009.9.7

几个月之前，我的骨髓就开始给我传递一些讯息。

有这样的症状：我总是感到疲劳、苍白、出汗，而且血红细胞完全缺乏的状态。氧气的供应不足使我不停的哈欠昏昏欲睡，血气不畅就好像被撤换的女沙皇般郁结。我当时知之甚少，但是我的血红素已经下降到某个水平，在这个水平以下专一的噬血细胞便会苏醒。这一年在印度工作和旅行，我做了一个例行的血液测试，结果迫使我去医院做进一步血液检查。

但没有理由要停止一切，就像，改变我的生活？

身体尝试沟通的信号可能更早之前就出现了，当我“很忙”的时候。开创事业，扮演自己。做了很多旅行，积累印象，戏剧，广告宣传还有艺术生活。所以，我没能听到我的骨髓已经开始渐渐的碳酸化了。它曾试图引起我的注意。我非但没有关注起自己的身体，反而忽视了它，就像一个被陆地包围了的海盗，听不到大海的声音。

之后，我停止奔波回到加拿大。Susy Lin医生为我做了检查，而且是急诊。最后还获得了癌症俱乐部的正式成员资格。

这就是我发现自己换上多发性骨髓瘤(MM: Multiple Myeloma)的过程。

癌症联合会，多发性骨髓瘤分部，2009年6月。

又名：黄色日记

生活的冲击：活着就会不断的遭遇冲击，在这之后，还有更多。

不要误会我的意思。的确，最大的危机也是最好的机会。一个震惊你的事件可以让你开始内省。那会是一个结合了幸存与庆祝的起点。我们的Lance Armstrong 称呼他的癌症抗争故事为：一段回归生活的旅程。

我相信着。但是现在我是一个癌症实习生，一个隐秘的社会观察者，而且我在做这些的同时要为两部电影在多伦多国际电影节的首映做准备。不知道当我因为‘roids’ (查不到这个词)而浮肿的时候是不是应该取消与导演的会面，又或者是就干脆的出现。‘是，我患了癌症，令我的模样转变到了无法预期的样子，但我仍然可以表现的很好，不管怎样，在演艺圈外表真的依然如此重要？现在，比起以前，我有太多东西想说。’

本来应该说了。

却没有。

但是，我正在写这个blog。

我不确定为什么，但这或许是一个最好的开始。

很多人都成为了癌症联合会的成员。大批的演员和艺术家都在这个反复无常的领域里奋斗着，那里有太多“回家”的故事。

也许，我不过是最终开始倾听我的骨髓。

我问四周的人，我是否应该公开我被诊断患有MM的事情。一些人建议我对自己的状况保密，因为可能对事业造成负面影响。啊哈？我很饱满，红润，比以往任何时候更充满活力而狡猾-吻我就像我被束缚住了一般。(理解上有点问题，Lisa自嘲的说法？)

Tara Maclean，一个代理人同时也是极有天赋的歌手，谈论了艺术家们的角色就是运用他们所有的经验-特别是痛苦的经验-以分享的方式来传递和转换。

Laura Simms，常驻纽约的专业故事代言人，犹太人继母，她强调“病理完美”，这正是我们在这个时代所经历的。名人效应和媒体给我们自己和其他人制造出了不切实际的期望。要如何在分享我准备多伦多国际电影节的经历的同时告诉大家我正在进行化疗和制定治疗方案？又该如何放松的对待这些预期?

Ted Grand提醒我不要忽视了公众和社会舆论的力量。Ted是Moksha Yoga 的创始人和导师，也是他把Sangha的观念也就是拥有相同视角和观点的群体的概念介绍给了我。就像有时候当你的能量很低而化疗又让你感到恶心想吐，知道这里还有其他人以不同且只有Sangha才懂的方式经受着糟糕的情形，也就有所安慰了。

于是，来自Martha Katherine Smith Macgee的信息说明了一切：
我的丈夫得了MM，如果在过去我们没有对骨髓癌的了解和捐款，9年又9个月之后他不会在这里。谢谢你们为癌症认知所作和将要做的一切。

标签和分类既有风险也有用处。

有时候就只能停止，找到你的转角处，找到那些志同道合的人，然后跟随牵引。

黄色日记. 缓解-传达. TIFF.

此外，我现在喜欢在这里写东西，容易操作。

============================

注：
1.一般人血红素过低就会产生贫血现象。
2.多发性骨髓瘤：该病是浆细胞异常增生的恶性肿瘤，病因不明。MM病人会出现持续性的无法解释的骨骼疼痛，易出现病理性骨折…… (看不下去了)

=================================
在一个人遭遇磨难和不幸时可以看到他的灵魂
Lisa没有放弃她有信仰笑着坚持着

我没有信仰
我始终想不明白 why it happened？

开始
2009.9.6

黄色的日记将是我记录个人旅程的地方。

=========================
按时间推算Lisa开始感觉身体不对劲时应该是6月或者更早？
有时候想时间要是能永远的停止在2008年初该多好
That is a beginning…a beautiful beginning……

永不停止战斗
2009.9.3

我开始写这个博客，让人们能够了解、走近我的生活。

====================（分割线）
从Lisa开启blog到现在，我一直没有开始仔细的看她的文字
虽然这是了解她现在生活和状态最直接的方式
Lisa已经做好了战斗的准备我还需要时间接受
可是也是从一开始便有了翻译的打算
翻译只为自己看的更仔细
如果有人路过如果发现错误别忘了告诉我

Before snow falls

2009-11-24T21:33:00.005Z

在落雪前还有好多未完成的事……
生活总在我们期待着一些东西时发生变故
瞬间而已那些期待就已经不再重要
重要的竟变成原本认为可以简单就能拥有的东西

我把思绪放在盒子外面
或许在不愿意接受的同时可以不闻不问
消息却像风声无法掩盖
直到某天半夜醒来发现自己哭的伤心
于是想起了罗马的万神殿 9月
透过巨大的拱顶光从天空落下宁静希望
正是Lisa官网初时的背景
那时候又怎会知道她已经在承受

原来当我走过Battersea Park的亭子看瞬息的烟火
站在伦敦眼下看泰晤士
在牛经的Ashmolean Museum看埃及石雕
空气中弥漫的都是Shamim的镜头和Lisa的模样
记忆在滋生……也是我有意寻访

长时间的旅途让人疲惫
堆积起来的照片懒得整理
在家里日夜颠倒的睡了3天
终于被今天早晨收到的一个包裹敲醒
Shamim和Hanan的心意特别署上名字的礼物
在我看了好多分钟后才反应过来手中握的是有Lisa和Sheetal签名的小海报
看到自己名字下面Lisa的签名笑了……

对于她们现实和故事的交叠
即使美丽的幻境因为变故而现实
我已经不是在单纯的欣赏电影或者喜欢某个演员
2008年的际遇很特别
在落雪前我会离开英国
在落雪前还有事未完成

Despite the falling snow

2009-08-12T22:33:00.002+01:00

She tells her love while half asleep
In the dark hours,
With half-words whispered low:
As earth stir in her winter sleep
And puts out grass and flowers,
Despite the snow,
Despite the falling snow.

—— Robert Graves

半梦半醒间她诉说爱意
在黑暗的时间中
伴着断续的语句低声呢喃
仿佛大地从冬眠中觉醒
萌发出绿草和花朵
不顾那雪花
不顾那飘落的雪花

《Despite the falling snow》
开篇前的小诗名字不知
原来这个美丽的句子出自英国当代诗人Robert Graves

即使不合时宜即使再怎么反常
萌生的希望也会不顾飘落的雪 “任性”的生长
这样的情景想起来竟然觉得分外的可爱

牛津-梦幻尖塔之城我寻找ICTS的脚步

2009-07-29T01:39:00.015+01:00

I came there……
"That sweet city with her dreaming spires”
梦想之都让梦屹立的地方
足迹在回忆里留成曲线阴雨的天空
在晚霞中放晴
牛津在与我“印象”的差距中鲜明了

有人说
当你登上St Mary the Virgin church
看到眼前林立的spires时就会明白Matthew Arnold的形容
牛津的尖塔式建筑在阴云下庄重的遥远
可尖顶已然给了我一份坚定执着

7月21日星期二雨
夜里听到窗外的雨声，一早起来灰蒙蒙的天空飘着细雨，在牛津没有遇到晴天……
手中握着路线一点点接近
Radcliff Camera还是在意外中突然出现眼前，右半边在休憩，我慢慢的走近她直到全身而显，要怎么用相机把眼前的画面全部收下？

Radcliff Camera这个大穹隆顶建筑是牛津大学图书馆的自习室之一，算是在牛津城最中心的位置。因为Shamim，Radcliff Camera成了我对牛津最初的印象，despite the falling snow的封面就是它。

Tala和Leyla在牛津一夜前~

放到全景

Radcliff Camera的旁边就是St Mary the Virgin church

遗憾的是没有登上church… 当时也没有看出这church就是出现在电影里的那个尖顶没办法牛津的尖顶不少（笑 Shamim的镜头确实带着美感

没有时空交错，建筑有的只是恒古的淡然，不管脚下发生过什么，在一而再的翻修中接受新的来访者，即使我触及到相同的铁栏也没有感觉到曾经的余温，记忆不是我的，有的只是映像余留下来的憧憬…

抬头，空中没有蓝色，牛津的尖顶在阴沉的云下却更加厚重了，每个人心中都有一个设想的目的地，源自一个故事，一份心情，故事在我心中回旋百转，同行的人不知，也许装载心情的旅程就该一个人行。也因此傍晚时再次独自来到Radcliff Camera，感觉到的是轻松。

傍晚时候人很少，看到一个女孩坐在church前的墙角，像是作画般的面对Radcliff Camera。我走近黑色的铁栏，划过每一跟，绕着Radcliff Camera又走到Tala的位置，这时候才想起，那双塔的右边下正是Tala手握的地方，可是也叹自己好笑，只要随便换个位置，任何一根都可能在双塔正下，于是笑着走到墙角，抬头望到街灯和St Mary the Virgin成直角，好想将眼前的画面定格，想将自己隐没了去，化作岩石的一块…不知道时间过了多久，Christ Church College指针下的女孩不见了踪迹，我走到她刚才坐的位置，回头，看到了整个的Radcliff Camera，很美。最终都要离开，遇到了同是一人的游人，谁又知道眼前风景装载了多少人的回忆，之于每个人的不同，在擦肩而过的时候平淡无奇，能看到彼此眼中的人，只有在遇到内心的相契时才会出现吧。

Shamim的取景很集中，都是牛津最有代表的建筑，难怪我才到牛津时会被她的现代感冲击到。
离开Radcliff Camera往前就是Bodlein Library，传说里边很壮观，参观全程要2个小时，我去的那天一早的票已经全部售完= =

这也是后来再看照片才发现是图书馆的，所以没有拍到外边
以下是拱门内...

再往前就到了叹息桥
眼前的叹息桥和影片中出现的不一样，我知是角度不同，于是走到桥后，那一端是一个狭窄的小巷，还是和印象中的错开了，我本以为她们是走在一条石庄墙壁的街道，当时以为Shamim用了镜头切换=A= 后来再对照，确实就是那里。

叹息桥的名字由来没有官方的记载，传说倒是很有趣。

另一端深处的小巷，看似到了尽头，走到底还可以右转
我再次走过叹息桥时不甘心的走进了那条小巷，一直走，僻静的风景，原来是通到了High street，牛津果然比起剑桥来，古与现的分界更加模糊。回走时发现天边渐黑，却出现了晚霞，终于还是放晴了。Bodlein Library顶上的石人在霞光后余下黑影，像是述说一天的结束…这时也清晰的感觉到眼前的景象正是Tala和Leyla走过的那一段…

从这里走来右转就是Tala和Leyla说起dreaming spires的地方
我拍了N张照片居然都没有和Shamim镜头契合…汗重新温习电影去…

顺便一说，Tala和Leyla住的Macdonald Randolph Hotel 一晚上双人间是快2000RMB⊙﹏⊙b

在Merton Street这条幽静的小道上发现一座SS的屋子~~~

说牛津是一座大学城已分不清城中与学院
38个学院开放的在少数
每个学院都有教堂风琴声不绝于耳
我更喜欢这里的小巷不亲走一趟就不知这看似见底的巷子通向哪里

现在的牛津和她建立的最初或许已经有了别意
随历史变迁宗教、真理、挣扎…已经淹没在石板路的缝隙间
深墙高院木门后的故事匆匆过客无法探析
如今牛津的空气中纠缠的是古老文明承载的现代气息
走入步行街商店比比恍若隔世

看到街边明信片上
"The more I learn, the more I know;
The more I know, the more I forget;
The more I forget, the less I know;
So, Why Study?"
牛津或许也并非我认为的那么严肃：）

寻ICTS的路就这么结束了，影片中还有出现的几个镜头没有去到。
晚上很快在街外喧闹声中沉沉睡去，后来被问起在牛津有特别想起谁？……没有……她说是一个契机，我完全放下的契机，其实早就已经放下一些人，尽管她们继续在我生活中出现消失的随意，放不下的或许只是我自己那颗不再波澜的心……

7月22日星期三云-晴
早上，牛津的天空没有雨，我错过的，就是错过了……
在火车上看到云层后显露的太阳，眼前的绿色黄色渐行渐远，竟然有了不舍得。。。

我在一个自己编织的世界中遗落了什么？

回到家又是堆积的邮件
消失的姐姐出现了带来不那么意外却依然让人down的消息

Aida说之前不知道Shamim和Hanan的出行去的就是牛津她很抱歉
原来曾经那么近
距离是会淹没在人海中的存在…
没什么好奇怪

Sheetal的回信~

2009-07-13T00:18:00.005+01:00

临睡去查邮箱居然看到Sheetal Sheth的回信
我那4月寄出的邮件几个月后收到回复了~

然后越发的觉得Sheetal很可爱
该不会真的顺着回fans的来信吧?
（管他是不是本人回的呢~就是可爱）

传说FB上Lisa和Sheetal都会回复留言
这两人~ 还有什么好说呢
都是可爱的人~
重要的不是其他
而是她们在乎fans的心情
突然心情很好~~

不过……等等…要是Lisa也有查邮箱的话……
呃！！我当时可是只做了一点点改动就把那封颇长的邮件分别发给两个人了的囧
如果两个人一起看到的话哈有趣了（<----baka

Sheetal回信：
well hello and thank you ms ivy!
hope you are enjoying the UK and everything is going great! thank you so much for that kind email and reaching out- means a lot!!
take care and best with everything, s.

Brunch with Lena Headey (Brunch with Bridget, Episode 59)

2009-07-03T02:02:00.017+01:00

hah, I like Lena's new hairstyle...pretty and refreshing
and her British accent：）
the special episode remind me that I haven't finished the TV show Sarah Connor Chronicles
it is a long break！
anyway...note this：Brunch with Bridget, Episode 59

Lena啊一个率真的家伙
“I was just born awesome”
被问起Image Me and You的吻戏 Piper的kissing style
她居然一来就说Piper有一张大嘴

还对着镜头解释It's a good mouth, Piper.
然后两个人开始解释虽然嘴大但也是不错的大嘴（笑死

Lena居然是喜欢恐怖电影的>.<

最喜欢德州电锯杀人狂

因为她觉得那断木机stupid又funny囧

这家伙的脑袋绝对和其他女生长的不一样

Lena开始向导演迈进

写了一个合演式的喜剧

去年用8天拍了一个短剧版本现在在募集资金拍正片

Piper也在里边这两人关系真的不错

10年前开始的导演梦终于也启动啦

被问说曾经去过的最漂亮的一些地方

Lena首推的是印度

因为在那里是一种经验看到不曾想象的世界然

然后是全篇对话

看"The Lena Headey Archives"

最后的枕头大战羡慕死好多人吧=v=

Shamim引发的持续旋风

2009-07-03T01:38:00.004+01:00

我原以为4月来袭的强风着陆后会风力渐小
谁知它持续的威力激发了那么多人的喜爱
也让我身陷其中

Aida一句guess what? 打开了一道大门
好在我湖区之行的计划没有在考试间歇的一个星期里成行
让我有机会做了ICTS和TWU中文字幕的校对
都不知道读了多少遍两部电影的字幕
最后有点看到就要头疼的征兆（笑
熬夜的习惯在这时候派上了用场
可是每次检查都有一些地方遗漏
现在再看电影
恐怕不会去责怪那些字幕里的瑕疵了

在巴塞罗那的敞篷车上吹海风时想起了这10天
没有那么一帆风顺不过确实从未有过的经历
从Fumi手上接过Hanan寄过来的邮件
都觉得室友那天特别漂亮
是书和DVD
开打有Shamim的签名
和原本已经买过的堆在一起一座小山
要是再收中文字幕的……
从未有过这么疯狂的事情
于是用带过来的云南风景的明信片当做信纸
给Shamim和Hanan写了回信连同DVD的样本一起寄回

当我以为生活会再度回归平静的时候
Shamim和Hanan跑去牛津考察The Dreaming Spires
正当大家都以为他们开始着手准备下一个电影的时候Hanan又开始满天飞
先是跑去北美和Lisa共进早餐
然后又马不停蹄的为了个big的TV节去了加拿大
期间还监顾着6月要出的繁体中文字幕
Shamim只有在家烧饭带孩子加写face和“抱怨”

当我迷惑着这对couple的相处之道时
两人又双双出现在布鲁日伦敦旧金山的活动上
这时连Sheetal那万年没有动静的“Whats New With Sheetal‏”也发来了邮件
继续一起做宣传的依然是Sheetal 依然没有Lisa的踪迹
而在冷却了一段时间后还继续出席宣传无疑就是再合作的开端嘛
Sheetal下一个主角位子的确定倒是比Lisa来得早
那第三次合作会再出现吗？

导演对Lisa和Sheetal没有一起出席活动的回应被大家忽略掉
似乎是有点缺乏说服力
6月27日Shamim更新的TWU幕后照里出现两人一起的合照
虽说只是幕后照之前也甚少出现过两个人单独一起的

下边这张后来被删掉了

而这些照片却未收录到DVD中
（觉得公司对DVD的出版发行时间和制作有点欠考虑）
贴出照片没过多久又删除了一些OTL
两张很平常的合照也被删掉了

Enlightment的官方销售出现了T-shirt制作
（Amber简直成了官方模特了XD
中文简体字幕会出现在7月后发行的PAL版本DVD中
繁体中文字幕在6月发行的NTSC版DVD中已经收录

我实在有点迷惑她们的marketing strategy
或者并无刻意
或者合作条约
结果却引发了更多的猜测
Shamim的票房虽然不高 DVD销量或者不那么理想
但是业内名气绝对的赚到了

依照她们出色的网络营销
Enlightenment到底处于怎样的状态？
计划拍摄ICTS的TV是为筹集资金的话时机似乎又有点不对
太多个意外和第一次出现在她们身上了
所以会有后续
期待着吧

Sheetal Sheth Tells All

2009-05-26T18:25:00.005+01:00

好了~翻译是个艰巨的工作，语气表达上多少会带入我自己的感觉，有些地方意会，也可能理解错，有些句子多看几遍和原本理解的又有出入，好在我还乐在其中~
Sheetal是个内敛的人，不过也毫不吝啬发表自己的观点，有趣的是她讲到激动的地方会一再强调。对某些问题那么长篇的讲下来，依然条理清晰，不知道写稿子的人是否有整理过内容，不过看她讲话很有意思~
似乎看上去很安静的人只要勾起她的话题就可以滔滔不绝，却又并不是强加于你某套理论，而只是希望你能理解她的想法
以这样的性格，她和Lisa会很合拍：）就像她自己说的那样~

Rachel Beebe

With her big brown eyes, flawless skin and a quirky smile that would make any dyke weak in the knees, actor Sheetal Sheth launched onto the lesbian cinema scene as Layla in the hit romantic comedy I Can’t Think Straight. The story, which is based on director Shamim Sarif and producer Hanan Kattan’s own relationship, follows the bashful budding writer as she encounters, falls for and then woos the gorgeous Tala, played by international sensation Lisa Ray. The duo had so much chemistry on screen that Sarif cast them together again in The World Unseen, a drama set in Apartheid-era South Africa. Sheth is no stranger to controversial roles. In 1999’s ABCD she played a promiscuous young girl struggling with family expectations and tradition, and in then in 2005, she caught the attention of audiences everywhere in Albert Brooks’ Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World. Now, the award-winning actor answers our questions, including what draws her to lesbian roles and what it’s like working with (and kissing) Lisa Ray.

棕色的大眼睛，无瑕的皮肤，还有那多变的笑容，任何一个喜欢同性的女孩子都会拜倒她膝下吧。演员Sheetal Sheth在浪漫喜剧I Can’t Think Straight里扮演的Layla有同性love scenes。故事是根据导演Shamim Sarif和制片人Hanan Kattan的亲身经历改编，跟随那个害羞的新近作家坠入情网并追求由国际影星Lisa Ray饰演的迷人的Tala。她们两个在荧幕上表现出了极强的化学效应以致Sarif再一次网罗了她们合作另一部电影The world unseen，故事发生在种族隔离时期的南非。Sheth并不是第一次扮演具有争议性的角色，早在1999年的ABCD，她就扮演了一个与家庭期望和传统相抗衡的年轻女孩。之后2005年，她因出演了艾伯特·布鲁克斯的电影Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World而吸引了大家的注意。现在，这个获奖演员要回答我们的问题，包括是什么吸引她选择les的角色以及和Lisa一起工作（kissing）的感觉。

In your new film I Can't Think Strait, both Leyla and Tala had to choose between being true to themselves and being a part of their conservative families. Have you ever had to make a choice like that?
I certainly have had to make some hard choices and decisions. And I think for me, what I draw from Leyla, it’s just about trying to live your truest life. A lot of that sometimes doesn’t fall into what people expect of you or people have an idea for you, whether it be friends or family or, you know, so many people in your life that mean something to you that don’t necessarily approve of your choices… But at the end of the day, for me, if I can sleep at night and know that I’m just being as authentic as I can be, and then living as truthfully and kindly and with the integrity that I want to, then that’s all you can really do. And it’s hard. Some days are harder than others, but that’s the point in realizing that a lot of that stuff really has nothing to do with you and has to do with the other people’s kind of ideas. I just very early on decided to define success for myself and that’s really given me the freedom to not worry about all that stuff as much.

问：在你的新电影I Can't Think Strait里，Leyla和Tala都不得不面临着一个选择，诚实的面对真实的自己去生活还是留在保守的家庭里没有任何改变。你自己是否曾经面对过像这样艰难的选择？

SS：我的确曾经不得不做出一些艰难的选择和决定。对我来说，为什么选择Leyla的原因正是因为那是一个关于试着过忠于自己的真实生活的故事。有时候人们会陷入他人对你的期盼中，陷入别人对你的想法中，不管是朋友或是家人，你知道，很多在你生活中出现的重要的人并不会完全赞成你的选择…但是，在每一天快结束的时候，如果我能平静的睡去并且知道我只是做着最真实的自己，真诚而友善的生活，与我希望的正直为伴，那就是你真正能做到的全部。然而那很难，有时甚至比什么都难，但是关键是意识到很多这样艰难的事情不能对你怎么样，他们会尾随其他人的想法出现。我很早就决定去定义所谓的成就，那给了我自由，让我不会对那些艰难的事情太过担忧。

What was amazing about Leyla was that she was so authentic to herself, she just seemed to make this decision, I’m not going to do this anymore. And it’s something you’ve got to respect.
Yea, I think it’s interesting because for her, you know, as kind of awkward and introverted as she is, definitely in the beginning, there was always a fire with her, which is what immediately drew me to her in the script. She always had this spirit and it was all there, it was just a matter of her finding a way for her to kind of express it, you know.

I read that several actresses turned down the role of Leyla because of the lesbian sex scenes, what it was that made you take it.You know Shamim told me that, but I was surprised because I didn’t think of it that way.

You know, it didn’t even occur to me to just mention it, because I just read the script and thought, “wow what a beautiful love story.” So it didn’t occur to me, I didn’t even mention it, and when we were rehearsing and working on it and, for me, if I’m with a stranger if it’s a guy or a woman it’s the same [laughs]… I mean, love is love. You would hope that’d be the case for people, so being in a love scene with a guy or woman honestly, that I don’t know, is the same. I’ve done so many love scenes with guys, that, it honestly just didn’t even occur to me. I just thought what a beautiful love story, this just happens to be a woman, and it’s equally as telling. I just wanted to be a part of it.

问：Leyla让人称奇的一点在于她对自己的诚实。她就像是做了这么一个决定，我不要再继续这样，有一些东西你必须尊重。

SS：是的，我想这很有意思，因为刚开始的时候她有一点笨拙，还很内向，而且总是有那么一点灾难伴随着，所以看了剧本后立刻的就吸引了我。她充满了灵气与热情，唯一要做的就是得找到一个方式去表达。

我知道之前有几个女演员因为同性的love scenes拒绝了出演Leyla，这也让人思考。

Shamim告诉了我，当时我有些惊奇，因为我自己没有从那个方向去想。甚至没有成为我关注的重点，我只是读了剧本以后想“哇哦，真是一个美丽的爱情故事。”所以那并没有困扰到我，当我们复审后开始工作，对我来说，如果是与一个陌生人合作，男生女生都一样（笑）…我的意思是，爱情就是爱情，你会希望那个情形是为了某人而存在的，所以拍摄love scene，不管对方是男是女，我不知道，都是一样的吧。我曾经和男生拍过不少love scenes，那也没有很困扰我，我只是想，那是一个美丽的爱情故事，发生在一个女人身上，很平常的一件事，我只是想要成为这个故事的一部分。
（“love is love”有没有很耳熟啊~？没错，Lisa说过一样的话~~

So was it a challenge for you to play a lesbian just starting to come out?
I didn’t look at it that way… When I thought about Leyla and when I was working on her I thought, okay, I’m playing a woman that is trying to be herself in the fullest truest way, and I can relate to that. And I can relate to that period of time in between where you’re just finding your way and just kind of going through it… The coming out scene was hard. Not because it was a coming out scene but because of the emotions that it brought up.

问：那么对你来说扮演一个准备出柜的les是否是一个挑战？

SS：我不是从这个角度来看的，当我想到Leyla，当我成为她的时候我想的是，okay，我扮演的是一个女人，她正尝试以一种完全真实的方式做自己，我可以联系起来。而且我可以联系到那样一个时期，正好处于你找到了自己想要走的路和跨越了阻碍中间的那一段…出柜那一个场景的戏很难把握。不仅仅是因为它是一个说出真实自我的情景也因为它带出的情感和情绪。

The scene where she came out to her mother and father?
Yea, and it’s interesting because the scene actually in the script is even much longer than what’s in the movie, and so there was a lot that we did and again it wasn’t about coming out, it was about just basically having to you know get at the top of the building, at the top of whatever, and just say “This is who I am. Listen. Why aren’t you seeing me?” You know, and these are people that you love more than anything and you’re trying to actually reach out and share and they’re not seeing it. So that was really poignant and really moving because I understand that and…That scene in particular is dear to me, just because I feel like we can all understand that feeling of like, “why can’t you see me?”

问：那场戏是她对父母出柜？

SS：是，而且有趣的是，比起现在在电影里看到的，那场戏在剧本里要写的更长，所以我们做了很多，那不单是关于出柜，那是要你知道，站在楼的最高处，站在无论什么的最高处，然后说“这就是真实的我，听我说，为什么你看不到？”，而你知道，诉说的对象，你爱他们超过任何人，所以你尝试向他们伸出手希望他们理解，可是他们看不到你。所以那真的很深刻而且感人，我了解那样的心情而且……特别的这场戏对我来说很珍贵，因为我觉得我们能够理解那样的感觉“为什么你看不到真实的我？”

And to some extent everybody goes through that with their parents at some point in their life.
With their parents, with their families, with their significant others, with their—whatever, It happens all the time and this was just the heightened point of it and it’s about the people that can press your buttons the deepest, know exactly how to and they still do, you know. It hurts the most.

问：从某种程度来说，每个人在他的一生中都会因为某些事而必须以那样的方式面对父母。

SS：对他们的父母，家人还有其他重要的人-无论谁，总是会发生，而这就是最艰难的部分，他们会回避真实的你，就像用力的压住某个开关，他们知道要怎么做，很难有任何改变，你知道，那是最伤人的。
（SS或许就是一个像Leyla那样会义无反顾的选择忠于自己的人。可是在她长篇的回答中我多少却感受到了很多的无奈，有时候人活着表现出来的想法和观念已经不是自己的，或许来自朋友或许来自家庭，在繁杂的需要纯净而又艰难的现实中要保持最原本的自己就已经不那么容易了，如果再和应该走的“路”发生了冲突，又该是多艰难的选择）
Actors Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheeth canoodle in I Can't Think Strait

There has been some critical debate about whether or not I Cant Think Strait balanced the harder hitting political, cultural questions and questions about sexuality it asked, with kind of the humor that it used to mediate those things. Can a lesbian romantic comedy, take on those bigger issues and still be lighthearted?
You know, I certainly respect everyone’s opinions, you know, as long as it’s coming from an objective, intelligent place. Every movie isn’t for everyone. Some people like apples and some people like oranges, it is what it is. What we hope to do with the film is to generate number 1, a moving film that helps kind of maybe if it gives you one piece of something to take away in your own life and just see what you can do to live truer or fuller or whatever’s the case, then great, we did our job. Now I find, generally speaking, if movies make people uncomfortable, it’s usually because they’re dealing with something they don’t want to deal with, or seeing something, or you know, it hits home… I thought it was refreshing to have the kind of banter that Leyla and Tala did. At the end of the day, they were falling in love, and it’s a story about that. But the political backdrop of it I thought was so interesting because it’s what’s happening, it’s relevant, it’s current, and it’s what would be happening, it’s realistic. And you know again, a slice of life of this story might not be something anyone ever experiences, they don’t think it exists…You know, everyone has their place and their voice, but I think that the movie you know is important and I think it’s worth seeing, I really do, and I’m being objective I think. I think there’s something in it for everyone.

问：有一些关于电影的批判争论说是否I Cant Think Strait用幽默的方式很好的平衡了尖锐的政治、文化和性的问题。一部les爱情喜剧加入了这些话题元素还能够表现的轻松吗？

SS：你知道，我尊重每个人的看法，只要是来自客观的经过思考的想法。一部电影不可能面向所有的人。有的人喜欢苹果，而有的人喜欢橘子，事实就是这样。我们所希望的是电影能够产生一些影响，能够让观众在看了电影之后带走一些东西去到他们自己的生活中，看看能够做些什么使得生活更真更完整，如果能够这样，我们便是完成了一个不错的工作。现在我发现，一般来说，如果一部电影让人觉得不舒服，通常是因为他们应对了一些他们不想要应对的事情，或者是看到不想看的东西，或者你知道，冲击到了家庭…我想，Leyla和Tala间那些善意的斗嘴会让人感觉别有韵致的。最后，她们坠入爱河，就是这样的一个故事。但是影片所包含的政治背景也是有趣的，因为讨论的东西是真的发生了的，有相关性，或者可能发生的，带有现实主义色彩。而且你知道，电影中的部分生活不会是任何一个人都有的经历……每个人都会有他自己的地界和声音，但客观的说，我觉得这电影是重要的，值得一看，里面有些东西是可以送给任何一个观众的。

How was working with Lisa Ray?
Lisa and I have very different approaches and very different ways about just working and approaching material which is always great… the more ideas and the more things you can throw into the pot, I think is good. And so, this was our first movie together, and so we were kind of feeling each other out a little bit more which I think worked as far as the dynamic of the characters in this movie.

问：和Lisa一起工作感觉怎么样？

SS：Lisa和我接近角色的方法不一样，工作方式以及处理方式都不一样，不过却总是很优秀…很多想法和细节可以放在一起讨论，我觉得很棒。而且，ICTS是我们一起的第一部电影，因此我们稍微感受彼此更多一点，我认为这对在电影中把握角色很有帮助。

How did it compare to working together in A World Unseen?
We did it second, [and] our characters meet and it’s much more of a subtle, they meet, and you know it feels like they’ve known each other forever and it’s not as in your face… Which is interesting because I think, our friendship had come to a point where we knew each other really well, and we worked together really well and it worked for that relationship.

问：那和在TWU的合作比起来呢？

SS：那是我们第二次合作，我们的角色再次碰面有了更多的微妙，她们相遇，你知道那感觉就像她们已经了解彼此很久了而且不单单只是表面的…这很有趣因为我想啊，我们的友情已经到了对彼此都很了解的状态，而且我们一起工作的很好，对剧里的关系也很有帮助哦。

Well you guys definitely have great charisma onscreen and I think the sex scenes are great in the movie. What was the hardest part about getting them right.
Like with anyone, whether it be Lisa, or another girl, or another guy that I work with, I mean Lisa’s a beautiful woman so it’s certainly not hard to kiss her, you know [laughs]. It’s just about getting comfortable, and having the trust that we’re both there and we’re both going to just do what’s necessary… The good thing is, we were just cool enough that I could be like, “alright Lisa, just, I might grab you here, whatever.” She’s like, “just do what you’ve got to do.”

问：是啊，你们在荧幕上真的有超凡的魅力，我觉得love scenes非常棒，拍的时候最难的地方在哪里？

SS：就像跟任何人拍这样的场景，不管是不是Lisa或者其他女孩，又或者是别的男星，我的意思是Lisa是个漂亮的女人，所以要吻她一点问题都没有，你知道（笑）。要考虑的是如何觉得舒适一些，还有就是要相信我们两个同时都在状态，要一起去表现导演所要求的。好在我们两个对待这事都很镇定，然后我可以这么说，“好吧，Lisa，只是，我可能会要抓到你这里哦”诸如此类的话，而lisa就会说，“只管做你想要做的。”
（“just do what you’ve got to do”我有点激动了>.< 拍摄的时候肯定没少笑场，气氛会是很好玩吧，果然私低下也是大眼妹比较主动哦~~为什么这个主持人不去采访Lisa？！！！）

So you felt really comfortable with her?
I felt comfortable in the situation. Shamim, the director, I think that’s who kind of sets the tone and she was really generous and really open to whatever we needed to make it happen. And we kind of said a couple of things, what points do you want us to hit and we’ll fill in the rest, and we kind of just went with it.

问：这么说你觉得和Lisa一起很舒适咯？

SS：我觉得在那个情形下是很舒适。导演Shamim可以把握那个调而且她真的很宽厚，无论我们需要怎样去达到拍摄效果，她都OK。而且我们可以一起讨论很多事情，像是你希望我们具体怎么做，然后我们会自己有所发挥，我们就是这样去完成的。
（这问题真直接~>///< 爆…不过被SS引开了

Did working on the film make you rethink anything about your own sexuality?
I mean I’m always looking at myself, you know, and just kind of examining who I am. I’m pretty sure of my sexuality but I definitely feel like I, I don’t know I’ve always been really open… I don’t get it when people try to decide for other people how to live their lives. I’ve never ever understood it. I’ve always been like, listen, if it’s good for them it’s not hurting anybody else, then why do you care? You know, let everyone just live the lives that they want. And, I’ve always been that way and kind of doing this movie made it even more important, and more dear to me.

It’s funny because we did it a couple of years ago and it came out now, and the whole thing coming out with Prop 8 and so forth. It made me more adamant and more proud of the fact that we made a movie having to deal with certain things. And I felt like, it’s interesting because you could sit here with somebody and you could debate right, wrong, this, that, just whatever. And it’s hard to kind of put, when you’re trying to convince someone or trying to explain a fact to someone it’s hard for them to understand it unless they have a personal story attached.

You could sit here and say women should be able to get married, and all this stuff, but then maybe seeing a movie or reading a book and getting attached and finding something that moves them about a character is like, ‘okay, maybe I get that. They do deserve to be happy, they do deserve to have a life.’ … it’s having that personal connection whether it be through film or movies or music or personal interaction, that’s the juice, right. So, I was so happy that the movie came out when it did because I think it’s important especially now. And I personally think that the gay civil rights movement is the next big fight. And it upsets me that it’s even a fight and it’s a discussion. November 5, when I woke up I was terribly excited and terribly disappointed, I couldn’t believe it… we’re in California of all places, I mean I can understand, not that I think it’s right anywhere, but I can understand certain parts of the country having more issue, but we’re in California! So it hurt my heart, it really did. And it hurts my heart when I hear people that I know say certain things. And I’m like, really? It just made me more, kind of involved, and more proud and more vocal and all of the above.

问：那么拍摄这个电影是否让你重新思考了自己的性向？

我从没停止过寻找自我，你知道，会思考“我是谁”这样的问题。我很确信自己的性向但是我当然也会想，我不确定我的想法是否总是真正的开放……我不明白的是，有时人们会试图决定其他人该如何生活。对此我从没想明白过。我总是认为，如果对他们来说是好的而且又没伤害到其他任何人，你为什么要这么介意呢？你知道，让每个人都可以过他们想要的生活。我一直都是这么想的，这也让这部电影更加的重要，对我来说也是如此。

有意思的是我们是在几年前开始拍这部电影的，但是到现在才上映，整件事的推出少不了那些支持者。这让我更加坚定也更加自豪，我们做了一部电影去处理某些事情。感觉很有意思因为你可以和某人做在这里争论一些事情，对、错，还有其他…而且，很难的事情是，当你试图说服某人或者试图解释某种事实，很难让他们理解，除非他们有自己的故事可以联系到一起。

你可以坐在这里说女人就是得要结婚，诸如此类的话，但是很可能看了一部电影或是读了一部小说再联系到自己的故事后，他们会发现一些事情可能打动了他们，改变了他们的想法，像是“好吧，或许我能理解，他们应该得到幸福，他们应该有自己的生活”…会有这样的私人的连接，无论是通过电影、书、音乐或是私人的交流，就是应该这样。所以我很高兴电影出来可以有一些影响，我觉得这很重要，尤其是现在。我认为同性恋民权运动会是下一个重大的奋战。而让人失望的是那场讨论。11月5日当我醒来的时候，非常的失望，简直不敢相信…我们在加利福尼亚州，我的意思是我能够理解，并不是在任何地方都是能够被接受的事情，我也可以理解美国某些地方有更多的问题，但是我们是在加利福尼亚啊！所以那真的很伤人。而且我很难过听到认识的人在讨论这事情还认为是理所当然。我想，真的吗？它使得我更加的参与其中，更骄傲，更想要出声。

Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth reunited for The World Unseen

I think you’re right, I think it is the next big fight, and hopefully the next administration is, going to take that on and make some change.
It’s interesting the amount of people that feel like they need to say certain things to pander to the masses. I looked at Barack and Biden and I personally, there’s no way in my opinion they really believe that gay marriage is wrong. I just think they said it because they needed to say it at the time. Really, come on, I don’t believe it for a second. And I understand why, it’s certainly upsetting that they felt like they had to but they did, and I think there’s no way they’d believe that people shouldn’t be allowed to get married and have the same rights. I mean, come on. Let’s hope.

问：我想你是对的，那会是下一个奋战，希望行政部门会有所考虑有所改变。

SS：很多人觉得他们必须要说一些事情去迎合大多数人。我觉得，看奥巴马和拜登，他们也并不认为同性结婚是错的。我认为他们会那样说只是因为在那个时间他们必须那样说。真的，算了，我是真的不敢相信。我知道为什么，感觉上他们不得不去做，这当然让人沮丧。我认为，他们认为不该允许同性结婚并享有同样的权利是行不通的，来吧，让我们期待。

I read that the Indian American community was a little bit offended by your role in ABCD, and I was wondering what the response has been to I Can’t Think Straight?
You know, it varies. Again like with ABCD it was very polarizing, as was this, and you get some extremes on both sides and the truth I guess is somewhere in the middle. There’s certainly the people that think we’re sick and crazy and this doesn’t exist in the world and why would you perpetuate it and all that horrible stuff. And the other side of oh my god, I’m so happy, thank you thank you thank you thank you, I’ve never seen anything like this and it makes me feel like I can and there’s hope, so you have both. And again, like I’ve said before, the ones that are the other negative extreme really just, it’s a dialogue that I’m glad they’ve had in their life because it will start the process. They’ve just got a longer way to go. And the other end, thank god, this is why we do what we do, I’m glad it helped.

问：我曾经读过报道说你在ABCD理的角色让印度裔美国人产生了不满，那么对I Can’t Think Straight会有什么反应呢？

SS：有些不同。ABCD是非常极端的，而ICTS，你可以看到一些两方面的极端，而真相却在中间的某处。当然会有人认为我们在冒险，或是认为我们疯了去描绘不存在东西还要延续这些可怕的东西。而另一些人会想，OMG，我太高兴了，谢谢谢谢谢谢谢谢，我从没看过这样的东西而且它让我觉得我也可以拥有希望。就像之前说的，一些消极的极端是存在的，而我也很高兴那样的对话存在在他们的生活里，因为那可能就是某种改变的开始。只是会有很长的路要走。而对于另一边的人，感谢上帝，这就是为什么我们做了这些的原因，我很高兴电影有这样的帮助。

Have you gotten a lot of response from fans?
I met this woman, I went to see the movie with a friend of mine and there was a woman in the lobby and I walked in and she was really excited to see me and I said, “oh, you’ve seen the movie?” And she said, “it’s my seventh time.” And I said [laughs]I haven’t seen it seven times… it was almost like she was there taking notes or just trying to figure out a way to figure out how she was going to do her thing. Such a doll and at the end of it my friend and I were talking to her and I said what is it about it and she said, “because I don’t see these stories and it’s important and I need it and it’s real.” It was nice I thought. We’ve had so many people like that, people that I’ve just randomly met, people who see me on the street to the fan emails, letters, stuff, it really, and not just from the gay communities, across the board. It’s really, really great.

问：你有从fans那里得到很多回应吗？

SS：我曾经遇到过一个女士，在我和朋友去看电影遇到的。当时我走过大厅，她看到我很激动，我问她，“你看过电影啦？”她说，“已经是第7次来看了。”然后我说（笑）我还没有看到7次那么多…那就好像她在跟我谈论她的想法或者是试图找到一个适合的方式告诉我她会怎么做她的事，她是个漂亮的女人。最后我和朋友跟她聊起来，我说有这样大的魔力？她说，“因为我没看到过这样的故事，很重要的我需要这样的故事，它很真实。”听到这样说我觉得真好。我们有很多这样的观众，或是偶然遇到，或是在街上见到，也有从邮件、信或者其他方式听到他们的意见，而且不仅仅是从喜欢同性的群体，甚至更广的范围。这真的是太棒太棒了。

There aren’t a lot of actors of Indian descent on the screen at the moment. Do you think that that’s because the roles aren’t there, or because casting directors aren’t casting outside the white box?
I think it’s everything. I think that, as a minority, that we didn’t start to immigrate here until the late ’60s and ’70s so we’re kind of the first generation that’s come about and unlike some of the other minorities, like the Latina community and African Americans who have been here a lot longer. I’m the first generation of a group of people that have started to kind of grow up and started to kind of maybe wander outside of the box that’s normally expected of half Asians.
Number two—At the end of the day, the old adage is what’s the only color Hollywood sees? And it’s green. I think to be perfectly frank, I think that you could put me or several other people onscreen that look like me and there would be no problem. If the movies good and we’re good I don’t think any American audiences are going to be like, “I don’t want to see that girl onscreen.” I really don’t. I think that they’re used to certain formulas and I think that they’re used to a certain thing, they want it to be safe, and they’re just going to stick with that. So it’s almost one of those things that you have to show them, guess what there’s an audience and guess what it doesn’t have to be the same audience of their ethnicity… People will go see it if it’s a good movie, it’s a good movie. If it’s good acting, it’s good acting. People really don’t care. I think people just watch something and want to get something from it. I think that there’s really low expectations of the audiences, generally. I think we’re smarter than people give us credit for, I think that we’re more open and more open minded than people give us credit for.

问：现在荧幕上有印度血统的演员还不多见。你认为是因为很少有这样的角色还是因为导演选择演员的时候有限制在“白盒子”里？

SS：都有吧。我想作为少数民族我们直到60年代末70年代才开始移民到美国，所以不同于其他民族，我们应该算是第一代出现的演员。像是拉美人和非裔美国人就已经在这里很长时间了。我是第一代在这里成长的印度人，也可能是徘徊在盒子外面，通常一半亚洲人都是。

第二——在一天结束的时候，旧的格言会是好莱坞看到的唯一颜色吗？而且还是绿色。
坦白的讲，我想你可以把我或者其他人放到荧幕上，那不是问题。如果电影是好电影而且演员也表现不错，我不认为美国观众会想“我不想看到那个女孩”。我认为他们是习惯了某种模式，习惯了做一贯在做的事，他们不想冒险，于是就有这样的现状。所以你必须告诉他们一些事情，猜测会有一个观众，猜测因为种族的不同，那不会是同样的观众……人们会去看如果那是一部好电影，它就是一部好电影。如果演员表演的不错，那也是事实。人们不会介意，我想人们只是希望从电影里看到什么，获得一些东西。观众的期望并没有高到一定程度。
我想比起人们认为的，我们能够做的更好，也有更开放的思想。

What new projects are you working on?
Actually I have a movie coming out next month called The Trouble With Romance and it’s this really sweet ensemble piece about four different relationships, I play a hooker looking for love. We did it with director Gene Rhee and it’s got a really great cast. It has Jen Siebel and Kip Pardue and Josie Davies, David Eigenberg, really great cast. Warner Brothers picked it up… So it’s right around the corner.

问：你现在的新工作是？

SS：下个月有一部叫做The Trouble With Romance的新电影会上映，是关于4段恋情的，大家的表演都很sweet。我扮演了一个寻找爱的hooker。我们和导演Gene Rhee合作，有不错的演员阵容，有en Siebel and Kip Pardue and Josie Davies, David Eigenberg，华纳兄弟公司选中了它，所以观众马上就可以看到了。

Indian Actress Lisa Ray

访问是2008年11月中的

It was also incredible to speak with Lisa Ray, an enchanting actress. In 2007, her film "Water" was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. From Toronto, Canada and of Indian and Polish descent, she is true to her background and talks about the ups and downs as a recognized international star. She is a very spiritual and understanding person; her work, intriguing and charismatic. An onscreen beauty not to be missed, she says she is very different from the characters she plays, which shows her incredible strength in acting.

难以置信的和Lisa Ray这个迷人的女演员有了这次谈话。在2007年，她的电影《water》获得了奥斯卡最佳外语片的提名。这个出生在加拿大多伦多有着印度和波兰血统的女星忠于自己的背景，也讲述了她作为一个国际影星的沉浮历程。她是一个非常理智而且通情达理的人；她的工作很有吸引人，也充满了魅力。不容错过的荧幕，她说她和所扮演的角色有很多不同，这也让我们看到了她优秀的表演能力。

ASIANCE: Shamim Sarif said she immediately felt you were great for the parts in The World Unseen and I can’t think straight - you had a great working connection. Did you feel this way too?

Lisa: Yeah, absolutely, that's a big factor for me, when I take on a project and ultimately, even though Shamim doesn't have a lot of hands-on experience, she's an incredible personality. She's very clear in her vision and I definitely, immediately felt a connection with her because she's very accomplished and I think she's going to ultimately be a really great director.

ASIANCE：Shamim Sarif说过她几乎是立刻就认定你会是最适合的人去参演TWU和ICTS – 你们有很好的合作关系，你也这么觉得吗？

Lisa：是，当然了，在我参与某个工作的时候，那对我来说是一个很重要的因素，尽管Shamim没有很多相关的经验，她却是个有着不可思议人格魅力的人。她很清晰知道自己脑海里的景象是什么，这也让我立即明确的感觉到了那种连接，和她的关系，因为她的多才多艺，而且我想她最后会成为一个优秀的导演。

ASIANCE: Your acting in past films like "Water" has been amazing. Shamim said some of your best work onscreen now is in "The World Unseen". How did you get into character?

Lisa: I wish there was a formula, which there isn't, it varies from project to project. But Miriam was a great character and a great challenge as well. Because she's pretty much everything that I'm not (laughter) and that's why I jumped at the opportunity; but the preparation was really a lot of rehearsal time and then thinking about it from another side. And then Shamim and I talked a lot about Miriam and her interior life because I guess, she has so much going on beneath the surface but it's very subtle stuff. She's not a very extroverted character. So for me there was the challenge and Shamim was very clear about this aspect. We worked a lot on that.

ASIANCE：你在《water》的表演很出色。Shamim说现在你最出色的荧幕表现有些是出现在TWU里，你是怎样融入到角色中的？

Lisa：我希望那会有一个公式可依，可惜没有。每个角色都有不同，所以也会有所改变的对待。不过Miriam确实是个不错的角色而且很有挑战性。因为她身上几乎所有的特质都是我没有的（笑）所以我抓住了这个机会。但是准备阶段真的花了很多排演时间，还要从不同的角度去思考。那之后Shamim和我讨论了很过关于Miriam以及她的生活的事情，因为我猜想在她的外表下隐藏了很多的东西，而且非常细微敏感。她不是一个外露的角色，所以对表演来说是一个挑战，Shamim对此很清楚，我们一起探讨了很多。

ASIANCE: You are from Canada but are an international star. Where have you been spending time?
Lisa: I've been bouncing around between the States and Canada, and sometimes Europe for a little while. Specifically now I'm back in Toronto. I shot a project in India the beginning of this year and I kind of stayed on a few months. But in the future I will probably head down to L.A. when it gets too cold here.
When I'm not shooting I'm regenerating. I haven't spent a lot of time in Toronto. It's been mostly as I've been getting reacquainted with my roots. I've been doing that and I spend a lot of time in New York and I love that city as well, but I would like to be able to spend a longer period of time in one place.

ASIANCE：你来自加拿大，不过是个国际影星。你的时间都是怎么安排的？
Lisa: 我很多时间都是在美国和加拿大活动，但是也会到欧洲。现在我回到多伦多。今年初的时候我在印度拍片，在那里待了几个月的时间。之后在这里变得太冷的时候我可能要到洛杉矶。

我没拍片的话我就去寻找新生。并没有很长时间的呆在多伦多。主要都会利用时间再充实自己。我总是这么做，而且很多时间在纽约，我也很喜欢这座城市，不过我也很希望可以在同一个地方待的更久些。
（既然在纽约也有工作，也会待不少时间，和SS见面的机会应该很多滴）

ASIANCE: How do you balance your personal life with your acting career?
Lisa: I don't know, I guess I've gotten used to a pretty unstructured life. On one hand I love it but it's a responsibility. I try to do my best every day. Being an actor is a bit challenging because it's not like a musician where you practice skills every day. So any opportunity to stretch your craft is inspiring. Many things inspire me. Like art and music, images. I've always been a collector of these things because I never know when they'll come in handy when I'm building a character. It's pretty free-flow actually.

ASIANCE：你怎么平衡你的私人生活和工作呢？

Lisa：不知道呢，我想我的生活更多趋于无组织的。一方面，我喜欢我的工作，那也是种责任，我努力做到最好。演员是个有挑战的职业因为他不像音乐家你可以每天练习技能。所以任何可能提高你技艺的机会都可以是启发的来源。对我来说有很多事，像是艺术和音乐，图像。对这些事物，我一直都是一个收藏家，因为当我在构造某个角色的时候无法预料他们什么时候会出现，其实真的是很自由式的。
[Lisa在不大明白自己真的所要追寻的东西的时候曾花了2年多的时间在做自己想做的事情（模特本来就不是她想要做的事，之后的电影事业开始她也是一支在拒绝），写作、绘画还帮朋友办艺术展…最后Lisa决定回到自己的工作中去]

ASIANCE: When you were in India recently how did you spend your time or get in touch with that side of your heritage?
Lisa: For example, I took a couple months off here and I traveled up to The Himalayas. I was doing a lot of introspection and meditation and I actually haven't had a lot of space to do that in my life. I think it was such a necessity and something I would recommend to everybody in the world and it's really a way to awaken ourselves inside. Besides that there are charities I'd like to support, Paraplegic Association in Canada. My mother was a paraplegic and she passed away recently.

ASIANCE：你最近在印度的时间是怎么过的，或者说你怎么接近你的那一半血统的？

Lisa：举个例子，有几个月的时间我离开这里去喜马拉雅山旅行。我做了很多内省和冥想，那之前生活中很少有机会这样。我觉得这很必要而且想要推荐给大家，这是一个很好的方式可以唤醒自己的内在。除此之外，我也喜欢支持一些慈善活动，像是加拿大的截瘫患者协会。我母亲是一个截瘫患者，她最近去世了。

ASIANCE: I'm so sorry.
Lisa: Thank you... these are things I would like to do also more and more in the future and I hope my work can feed into the hopes and dreams I would like to accomplish.

ASIANCE：听到这个我很遗憾…
Lisa：谢谢…有一些事我将来得要去做的会很多，我希望我的工作能够负担起那些我希望完成的希望和梦想。

ASIANCE: You have done groundbreaking and inspiring work, you really are an admirable actress. It's great just to get a glimpse of you as a person.
Lisa: Thank you, and like I said, since my mother passed away recently, that's why I'm back in Toronto and I think the introspection I have done over the past few months has helped to give me strength and I've just sort of been recalibrating. And I think a lot of people are doing that right now. It's good to take a little space and understand what one wants to accomplish here in this life and without trying to feel too heavy. It feels like even America itself is doing that. I think I'm just feeling that kind of hope and the desire to take responsibility personally and collectively in the world. I guess that's really what I'm doing, taking stock and I will be heading down to L.A. later in the year. And I have a few more films coming out but I'd really like to concentrate on the ones on hand, The World Unseen and I Can't Think Straight...

ASIANCE：你已经完成了有开创性而又鼓舞人的工作了。你是个令人佩服的演员，这样简单的了解也觉得作为个人来说你也很棒。

Lisa：谢谢，自从我母亲过世，这也是为什么我回到多伦多。我想过去几个月里我做的内省给了我不少力量，虽然我只是初学。我想现在很多人会这么做。有利于给自己一些空间去思考自己的人生需要什么而不用真的尝试去感受太过沉重的东西。我想我只是感受到了那样的希望和期望去做一个有责任的人并且传递给别人。我想那就是我正在做的。整装出发，年末的时候我会去洛杉矶。另外我有一些电影就要上映了，但是我真的更想要集中在最近的两部，TWU和ICTS…

ASIANCE: Thank you so much Lisa, for your inspiration in the world and it was so great to talk!
Lisa:Thanks, Shannon!

ASIANCE：谢谢你Lisa，谢谢你的灵感，和你谈话很棒！
Lisa：谢谢，Shannon!

从朋友Shine那里获得的link~
ZocaloPublicSquare反问Sheetal和Shamim
我的热情果然还在持续着么~
最近又遇到了Lisa说过她喜欢的一句话：
"life is what happens when you're busy making other plans"
John Lennon的这句话似乎是透着希望但又很无奈
如果lisa也参加访问的话
三个人都会选择一样的答案：）

Sheetal Sheth

Photo by Aaron Salcido

Sheetal Sheth isn’t an ABCD — that’s American-born confused desi — even if she played one in the movies. The Jersey girl told the crowd at Zócalo that she prefers not to think of herself as South Asian American, but simply as an actress (and though she didn’t mention it, we will — a Tisch-educated actress). We asked her for a few more details.

Sheetal Sheth不是美国人 – 这是在美国出生的她会有的困扰 – 即使她在电影中扮演了一个有着同样身份差异的人。Sheetal通过Zócalo告诉大家她更喜欢视自己为一个演员，而不是定位在南亚美国人（另外，尽管Sheetal自己没有提到，但她是一个受过正统训练的演员）。以下是访问细节。

Q: What’s your favorite word?
A. Arachnibutyrophobia, it is a great word, it has all the great sounds, letters, and it’s one of the first words I learnt how to spell and felt proud of.
问：你最喜欢的词是什么？
答：Arachnibutyrophobia，这是一个很棒的单词，它有很好听的发音和字母，而且它是我第一个学习怎么拼写的单词之一，让我感到很自豪。
（谁告诉我Arachnibutyrophobia是什么？？是Arachibutyrophobia吗？Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth，恐惧花生酱粘到嘴巴的上颚= =）

Q: How would you describe yourself in 5 words or less?
A. Assertive, sensitive, caring, bossy, driven.
问: 你会选用哪5个词来形容自己？
答. 果断, 敏感, 有同情心, 跋扈, 驱策的。
（只能说，Sheetal你是矛盾的！）

Q: If you could live in any other time, past, present or future, when would it be and why?
A. I like the old times, medieval period, the renaissance, I feel really close to them, like I lived another life there. It very much feels like me.
问: 如果你可以生活在任何一个时间段，过去，现在和未来，你会选哪个？为什么？

Lisa Ray-Shoot

2009-05-14T02:31:00.009+01:00

Lisa的facebook
是自己在管理可以看到她拍的一些风景照片
当然还有自拍
这家伙有时候真的很搞怪
哪里看得出“原本是个内向的人"啊=3=

贴上新看到的喜欢的图~

回想第一次看到Lisa Ray……没有清晰的记忆，只有ICTS那个并没有引起我多大兴趣的Trailer
回想第二次看到Lisa Ray……没有清晰的将她的脸印在脑袋里，甚至在Tala和Leyla第一次遇见时我都没看出来她就是那个订婚party的主角（好吧，我承认我也有问题囧）

直到穿着小白衬衫的Tala向Leyla引发了宗教信仰的冲突谈话……
Lisa的眼睛在瞬间就吸引了我全部的注意
她流动的绿色眸子让我不得不在那刻羡慕死眼睛会说话的人
于是Lisa的眼神成为我最爱~~
看那图里皎洁的目光坏笑的样子都很赞~

Lisa也很适合穿的古典
什么时候去拍摄个古装也不错
对了她曾经在London的Holy Theatre有演出过就是古装 too long ago!

接下来的照片是拿来惊艳用的~

欧美模特风和印度风格时候的模特照片真是迥异非常

u know where is Lisa？？？

with a dog~ 是Lisa没错吧==

with a cat~~~

Lisa Ray - Water中那个白衣少女忧伤的存在

2009-05-14T02:13:00.007+01:00

我们不可能遇见自己的未来
会去到什么地方遇到什么人磨合出什么特别的经历
也不可能知道自己对别人产生的影响
哪怕隔了时间和空间

脑袋里还留着Lisa调皮回复网友问题的画面
那时候的她不知道自己选择走上电影之路后会遇到的神奇
于是看到那个身穿白衣的少女时
像是走进了另一个世界遥远而易碎

认真的Lisa~

不晓得Deepa是怎么发现的Lisa
不晓得她如何透过Lisa看到一个安静的Kalyani
不晓得第三次的合作又会怎样……

Lisa和Sheetal在AfterEllen Hot 100

2009-05-14T01:21:00.006+01:00

AfterEllen2009年的投票“the hottest women according to lesbian and bisexual women”结果多少让我有点惊讶。
Lisa排在24位
差一点就进到前20，虽然我一开始就希望是进到前10的，不过第一次出现在24也不错了
Sheetal排在74位
以为会在更前面的

让我惊讶的到不是个人位子，而是两个人位子中间隔的人数。让我不禁有些好奇电影人的影响力，是人物性格更多一些，还是演员添加进去的魅力更多一些，又或者还包含了演员本身。ICTS和TWU的影响在YDY爆发的时候出现了很多Lisa谜，加上大家都很“嚣张”，Sheetal的fans声音明显少很多。我自己，喜欢两部电影，自然也被两位主演吸引，喜欢Sheetal，而且随着了解增多对演员本身也更加喜欢，但是却不得不承认没有Lisa那种吸引力。

这让我想到《image me and you》的Lena Headey（3位）和Piper Perabo（43位），两个人的位子比去年隔更远了。Lena 却一直有往上升。本来觉得或许大家更喜欢truth yourself的人，或者说处于主导地位的那一方，就像是一个理想形象的表征。希望成为或者遇到那样的人。可是拿到ICTS里似乎就说不通了，Leyla后半段开始在这一点上明显更有魅力。所以我又跑回去感叹Shamim给两个人物安排位置转换的巧妙。两个人会相互吸引，也是因为隐藏在互补性格下的本质的相似才对。

《I can't think straight》和《image me and you》是同类型的片，暖暖的。现实已经很多无奈，为什么不多在电影里凸显一些希望？这也是人们为什么最终会倾向希望看到电影有happy ending的原因吧。而Shamim是真的遇到过这些希望，电影中的故事，混合了导演的经历，使得两部电影会影响到一些人的生活也就不奇怪了。喜欢Lisa之前有段时间很迷Lena，她也是个有着豪爽性格的可爱的人，会在采访里大方的谈到版单，去年居然还拉票了：“看来我要多去健健身了。老天啊，我跌了6位耶。给我投票给我投票给我投票哦，我会改变世界的。”结果今次就果然上升了哈
我是想看到Lisa也被这么访问一下的~~（如果有也会被她混过去吧）

所以还是比较奇怪Sheetal和Lisa比起来那么靠后的位子
不过，Lisa的位子估计YDY的童子贡献很大哟（笑
又或者 Lisa神奇魅力就是这么厉害？

投票那段时间正好处在影响力期间的还有《skins》的Kathryn Prescott（26位）和Lily Loveless（29位），这两人接近的票数或许就不那么意外。两个角色的性格互补拉近了位子的差距吗？（笑……呼声很高的Naomi还是跑到了Emily的后边，勇敢追求自己想要的人就是闪闪发亮的，Emily才是那个最终坚定的引导了大家的人吗？（谜

Lisa Ray on Hello Canada Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful Canadians list

2009-05-14T00:28:00.002+01:00

由电影引发的后续无限扩大的可能

2009-05-05T22:26:00.003+01:00

由电影引发的后续无限扩大的可能
在人和人之间发生了很多故事

当荧幕最后出现的那两行有意留下的表白在我记忆中淡去
我才知道曾经沮丧的人找回了她的爱情
我才知道时间和距离似乎都不是最大的阻隔
小小的网络世界已经把不可能变成了可能
瞬间让我有种生活比电影更传奇的感觉

Shamim的ICTS真的有这样的力量
去影响或者改变

只是会传递到的思念也是因为没有断绝的关系
会重新牵起的手也是因为双方都捧住了那个机会
我执着的迷惑在这里显得苍白无力了
只有一个人的等待似乎是没有终结期限的放逐……
希望所有懂得珍惜的人都永远拥有那份幸福

我只是一个看客
慢慢发现着电影闭幕以后却延续下来了的幸福
真的可以改变一些人的生活

Lisa Ray和她的自信、可爱与聪慧...还有幽默！

2009-05-05T17:29:00.018+01:00

本来是打算下周三之前都不看跟Lisa有关的东西啦
（一发不可收拾的后果=v=
可还是被leyumuisc丢过来的一篇文章给吸引过去啦
Lisa身上的某些特质
似乎在她的言语间从五根并用的手指传递到了我面前~
自信、可爱、幽默就是2001年的Lisa
首次（其实是第二次）出演电影的Lisa

Lisa是独生女确定，连祖籍都确定了
Lisa低调的原因……只是出于本性
还有她中意的TYPE
那些为电影宣传的客套话自动忽视

'I felt strongly about Kasoor'
http://www.rediff.com/chat/trans/0110lisa.htm

是一次网络交流 Lisa快速回复网友们的提问
其中有些东西....笑死我了...快速罗列如下

Sourav : hi lisa I am from calcuuta
Lisa Ray : Hi Sourav, even my father's familyis from Calcutta- our ancestral home is in Serampore and one house is in Shyam Bazaar. I consider myself a hardcore Bong! Satyajit Ray rules!!!!
Sourav : hi lisa 我来自加尔各答（印度东北部的港市）
Lisa：Hi Sourav, 尽管我父亲的家族来自加尔各答- 但是祖先的家是在塞兰布尔（孟加拉西部城市）而且还有一间房子在 Shyam Bazaar（也位于孟加拉西部）...
(后边不明白什么意思，Satyajit Ray 似乎是印度一个很有名的电影人）

trustme : lisa, i think u should take up typing classes to keep ur pace up.
Lisa Ray : I'm a pretty proficient typist (I use all five fingers) but I'm a little overwhelmed by all the people online so please be patient- also please note my spelling is extraordinary!
trustme : lisa, 我觉得你该去参加打字课程以提高速度
Lisa：我可是非常专业的打字员哦（5个手指头都用）但是网上那么多人还是有点难对应，所以多点耐心，而且你注意到没？我的拼写很棒！

Suraj : lisa who all are there in your family?
Lisa Ray : Well suraj, there is my daddy, my mommy, me and my two cats, Pinky and Porky- and please don't blame me, because my mom named them.
Suraj : lisa你家里都有谁？
Lisa：恩，Suraj，我爸爸，妈妈，我还有两只猫，小粉红和肥肉-你可别责怪我，那是我妈妈给它们取的名字。
（(≧▽≦)/......）

Pradeep : Why it's taking this much time for a good-looking, talented, sexy model like you to get a better opportunity
Lisa Ray : Well Pradeep, I didn't really want to enter films- in fact I've been turning down very prestigiuos offers for years. But Kasoor is a special film and an important role so I felt strongly about doing the movie.
Pradeep : 为什么像你这样有不错的外表、有天分又性感的模特要花那么长时间才得到一个好的机会？
Lisa：Pradeep, 本来我并不想要进入电影业-实际上这些年来我已经婉拒过很多电影邀约。但是Kasoor是一部特别的电影而且是一个重要的角色，所以我非常的想要参与这部电影的演出。
（要是早些年开始接片就有更多作品了哈~Lisa每次回复前都会打出fan的名字，觉得蛮亲和的）

munna : happy new year to you
Lisa Ray : Thanks munna- I have a good feeling about the first year of the new millenium- how about you? By the way, what did youall do for New Years? I had a quiet, but good celebration.
munna :新年快乐~
Lisa：谢谢 munna- 新千禧年的第一年我有一个很好的开端-你呢？顺便一问，大家都怎么过的新年？我呢，一个安静却不错的庆祝。
（Lisa应该是从某个阶段起开始了修身养性的生活）

Anand : You are termed as sexy???? Do you agree???
Lisa Ray : I think that is only one aspect of my image. I am not very sexy in real life and I have tried hard to project all kinds of differnt images. I feel my most valuable asset is my versitility. For instance, in Kasoor, I am playing a lawyer, so I worked hard on projecting the part in terms of acting and looks.
Anand : 你就是性感的代名词？你同意吗？
Lisa：我想那只是我给人的印象中的一方面而已。在现实生活中我并不是很性感而且我已经努力去突出不同的映像。我发现我最不错的地方就是我的转化能力。比如说拍摄Kasoor，我的角色是一个律师，我非常努力地使我的行为和外表都看起来很像一个律师。
（versitility这个词？…Lisa的意思就是她对于读懂角色并融合进自身这方面比较擅长）
（leyumuisc：'Versitility', 從上文下意，LISA應該想打'versatility ( n )多才多藝'）
trustme : BEWARE - THIS IS THE LAST TIME. i am not going to type it all out again. SO PLEASE ANSWER.LISA, HOW WOULD U FEEL IF YOU BECAME THE NEXT ACTRESS STARRING AGAINST PIERCE BROSNAN IN THE NEXT JAMES BOND MOVIE ?oof, that was something
Lisa Ray : I'm very impressed trustme- but why are you typing in caps? Anyways, I don't really want to be a Bond girl- I'd rather star in Charlie's angels and beat up all the guys myslef
trustme : 注意啦-这是最后一次。我不会再全部打一次。所以注意哦。Lisa，如果你成为了007电影的下一个邦女郎的话你怎么想？
Lisa：相信我我记得你的问题-不过你怎么要用大写？无论如何，我不是真的想要当邦女郎-我更想要成为查理的天使，这样我就可以亲自痛扁那些坏人啦
（good choice！that's treally have more attraction than Bond girl！！！）

Mohit : Lisa how old r u?? if ur Bombay dyeing ad came almost 10yrs back u must be pretty old by now? say abt 35 or 40?
Lisa Ray : I was 16 when I modelled for Bombay dyeing, so you can do the math for yourself.
Mohit : Lisa你多大？如果你那个孟买的染色工艺广告是10年前的，那么你现在应该很老了？所以应该是35或者40？
Lisa：做那个广告的模特时我16岁，所以你可以自己算喽。
（good answer！那家伙还真敢问）

sanjay : lisaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Lisa Ray : Yo, what's up- have you caughtyour hand in the door?
sanjay : lisaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa（估计这家伙太激动了=v=)
Lisa : 唷，怎么了-你的手被门夹到了？
（好吧，我就是看到这里笑得不行的，Lisa你太可爱了>.<)

dombaboy : hey how do u feel to be in india after such a long spell abroad. I want the true answer and nothing that would please us indians
Lisa Ray : I made a consciuos decision to settle down in Bombay becasue this is where I feel I belong. I may have been born and brought up abroad but the fact is I was always attracted to India (my family is from Calcutta) My heart and soul belong here and I can't even explain why. I haven't been back to Canada now in three years. I am very much an Indian -a slightly westernized Indian, but an Indian. And proud of it!
dombaboy : 在国外那么长时间后你对成为一个印度人是怎么感觉的。我想要知道真实而不是要取悦我们的答案。
Lisa：我有意识的决定在孟买定居是因为我觉得自己属于这里。我是出生并生长在国外但事实是印度有一股吸引我的力量（我的家族来自加尔各答案）我的心和灵魂都属于这里，我不能解释为什么。我有3年没有回加拿大了。我现在就很印度-一个有些西方化的印度人，但确实是一个印度人，我为此骄傲！

azil : liza what was ur dad's profession??
Lisa Ray : My father is a Ph'd in Chemistry and he was a chemical engineer working in the Petroleum industry in Canada.
azil : lisa你爸爸的职业是？
Lisa：我爸是个化学博士，所以他是石油产业的一名化学制品工程师，在加拿大工作。

Tumpa : Lis... come-on answer to my questions. This is the first time I'm on rediff chat... only coz of you.
Lisa Ray : Hi Tumpa- what a cute name. If I get another persian kitten I willname it tumpa!
Tumpa : Lis... 来回答我的问题。这是我头一次参与在线聊…都是因为你哦。
Lisa：Hi Tumpa- 真是个可爱的名字。如果我有了另一只波斯小猫一定叫它tumpa

ashmat : LISA, DO YOU THINK INDIAN MOVIES ARE TOO STEREOTYPED?
Lisa Ray : Yes I do, but there is nothing wrong with formula films. The problem is there should be a choice for people to see- that's what we've tried to do with Kasoor- makesomething different and fresh, but within the commericial hindi film format.
ashmat : Lisa，你觉得印度电影是不是太过套用老调？
Lisa：是，但是对于公式化的电影那也没什么错。问题是人们应该有一个选择的机会去看-去看看我们为了Kasoor做过什么尝试-在公式化的商业印度语电影中所尝试的不同和新鲜。

shikha : how is your planning
Lisa Ray : You know shikha, I am very bad at planning because I believe my life has realy been ruled more by destiny. My favourite saying is "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans' and it's true!
shikha : 你接下来有什么计划？
Lisa：shikha, 你知道我不善于计划，因为我相信命运已经给我的生活做了安排。我最喜欢的一句话是“生活往往是出人意料”，确实如此！

David : HEY LISA PLS REPLY YAAR I ASKED YOU I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO BECOME AN GOOD MODEL LET ME KNOW WHAT IS THE KEY WORD TO BE A GOOD MODEL
Lisa Ray : The key is self confidence. These days most moderately pretty young girls can be groomed to look good, but confidence and a certain amount of maturityin taking decisions is essential. Also if you are serious about modelling, you have to live in Mumbai or Delhi
David : 我想我女儿成为一名优秀的模特，请问关键因素是？
Lisa：最重要是自信。现在很多女孩可以因为化妆而变得漂亮，但是自信和经过深思熟虑的决定确实最关键的。而且，如果对模特事业真的很认真的话你必须住在孟买或者德里。

hema : Lisa u answer only MEN's queries?
Lisa Ray : Sorry, I'm not doing it on purpose.
hema : Lisa你只回答男士的提问？
Lisa：对不起，并不是有意的。
（喷……）

ehsan : HEY LISA PLEASE REPLY YAAR I ASKED DID YOU EVER HAVE CRUSH ON ANYONEOR WHERE YOU IN LOVE?
Lisa Ray : Yes, love makes the world go round and I can't live without love.
ehsan : lisa你好请回答：你曾经深爱过某人吗？
Lisa：是，爱使世界运转，缺少爱的生活我无法继续。

Blues : YOUR DEBUT IS NOT KASOOR, RIGHT?How come no body talks about the fact that your debut in movies was indeed with a Tamil film, NETAJI, opposite Sharad Kumar, 3 years ago?Kasoor is in fact your 2nd movie, right?
Lisa Ray : That's correct, but back then I was not serious about my career- today I certainly and I have worked very hard in Kasoor
Blues : 你第一次演电影并不是Kasoor，对吧？为什么没人讨论这个问题，事实上你第一次演的是3年前的一部泰米尔语电影， NETAJI。Kasoor实际上是你的第二部电影对吧？
Lisa：对的，但是当时我并没有认真的打算把电影当做事业-今天，我很肯定并且我很努力的出演了Kasoor

sunny12345 : LISA, with so many good looking guys around u, did u get attracted to anyone till now. I have read an article in which u have said that u have a crush on SUNNY DEOL when betaab was released. So, when u met these guys in real life now, how do u feel?
Lisa Ray : I have never met Sunny and I don't want to. Now after working in the glamour business so many years, i know how much of what we do is abut creating an illusion so I believe more in real people. My closest friends and not connected to this business
sunny12345 : Lisa，有那么多长得帅气的人在你周围，你是否被谁吸引过。我曾经读过一篇报道说你很喜欢SUNNY DEOL ，那是betaab 刚上映的时候。所以，如果现实中你见到他们了，你会有什么感觉？
Lisa：我没见过Sunny而且我也不想。现在在经过了那么多年的工作后，我知道我们所做的有多少是创造了一个幻想，所以我更相信现实中的人，我周围的朋友以及和这个工作没有关系的人。
（有时候可以想想Lisa的话，很多镜头前的东西不过是一个幻想，加上自我美化和加工……）

FJ : I CANT IMAGINE LISA SITTING AND TYPING ANSWERS :-)
Lisa Ray : Why not, I'm a very good typist!
FJ :我可以想象出Lisa现在正坐着打字回答问题的样子 :-)
Lisa：为什么不呢，我是一个出色的打字行家！

RayofLight : hey lisa ...whats one word that u use most often ?
Lisa Ray : Excuse me?(that's the phraseby the way)
RayofLight : hey lisa ...你最常用的一个字是？
Lisa：Excuse me?(惯用语的那种）
（我一直觉得是‘you know’）

cuteraman : what do you think about your fans?
Lisa Ray : To be honest, I used to be a very abrupt person with my fans, but only becasue I am essentially an introvert and a bit shy. I like my work to be appreciated, but i don't like persoanl attention. But today I realize that I am here today because of my fans and all of us media persoanlities are nothing without all of you out there- I thrive on your good wishes.
cuteraman : 对你的fans有什么看法？
Lisa：真诚的说，对待我的fans，我曾经是个很生硬的人，但那都是因为我本质上是个内向还有点害羞的人。我喜欢我的工作受到赏识，但是我不喜欢私人的关注。但是现在我已经意识到我能走到今天都是因为我的fans，如果没有你们的支持，我们从事媒体职业的人将一无是处-我会成功都是因为你们的祝福。

AlokG : One thing i want to tell u is , U r such a beautiful girl & what r u doing in this big & bad media world. I say u must leave this rude & careless people who un-necassary disturbs u'r personal life . What do u say ?
Lisa Ray : My experience has been that if one conducts oneself with integrity and dignity and in a mature fashion, there is no chance for any misbehaviour. You have to be strong to be in this business and i have matured tremendously and learned a lot. The only thing I still hate is unecessary attention on my private life, becasue I am a very private person.
AlokG : 我想说的是，你是个很漂亮的女孩，你在这个又大又糟糕的娱乐圈做什么？我的意思是你必须远离这些无理又缺少关心的人，他们打扰到了你的私人生活。你觉得？
Lisa：我的经验告诉我如果一个人以正值和尊严要求自己，而且足够成熟，那就不会有任何无理的事情发生。从事这个职业，你必须足够的坚强，我现在已经成熟，学到了很多。唯一一件仍然让我讨厌的事就是不必要的私人生活关注，因为我是一个非常需要私人空间的人。

abh1234 : are you doing any music vidoes? can you sing? are you a good singer?
Lisa Ray : I am currently not doing any music videos becasue I feel the market is saturated now. I love music, but god help anyone around me when I sing!
abh1234 : 你有在做音乐相关的工作吗？你会唱歌吗？唱的好不好呢？
Lisa：我现在没有，因为觉得市场已经饱和了。我喜欢音乐，但是当我唱歌时，上帝保佑任何一个在我身边的人！
（Lisa唱歌⊙﹏⊙b)

cool_kat : Lisa, what's your mother lingo
Lisa Ray : I think in english, i am fluent in polish, I had to learn french in school for many years and now I am steadily improving my hindi.
cool_kat : Lisa你的母语是?
Lisa：是英文，我可以说流利的波兰语，也曾经在学校里学过几年法语，现在我都有在练印度语。

ILULisa : LISA, JUST ONE KISS PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!
Lisa Ray : Smack!
（哈，索吻被Lisa拍了=v=)

v : Good afternoon, Lisa.i am V from Dubai. i would like to ask a question do you belive that there is a child in you? what is the most memorable incident as a child?
Lisa Ray : I had a very beautiful and idyllic childhood- plus I'm an only child so I got a lot of attention. But at the same time I grew up very independent becasue I had to amuse myself. I can't pick out a particular memorable moment, but people who know me well willtell you that I am still a child- an intelligent child, but a child.
v : 询问Lisa童年生活
Lisa：我有一段很好的童年-加上我是家里唯一的孩子，所以受到了很多关爱。但同时我成长的很独立，因为我不得不跟自己玩。我无法找到一个十分特别的记忆，但是熟识我的人会告诉你我仍然是个孩子-一个聪明的孩子，仅仅是一个孩子。

Shamim回复fan对于Lisa和Sheetal都很少提及对方的问题

2009-04-30T16:24:00.014+01:00

YDY那边对这个问题的讨论都快烂了
前几天不知道为什么又突然旋起了一阵YY
看大家找证据我在荧幕前看到发笑
真是一群很可爱的Fans
甚至都让人觉得Lisa和Sheetal是真的有在一起了

只要Lisa继续低调只要Sheetal没有公开的男朋友
YY的力量还真的足以营造一个似真似假的世界（笑

于是地球上不只是我们对两个人基本没有一同出席宣传活动，甚至在采访中也甚少提及对方的状况不满意了。
Lisa只在一个TWU的采访中被主持人问道TWU里的第二个Kiss场景时有回复：
主持：It's considered the sexies kiss on screen...so tell me about that~
Lisa：Jesus…well, you know, I wish I had something even more exciting to report...but you know like when you in the process working in that characters, you just so much in that world. but you know, I must say it was a good experience!
（我希望我有更多令人激动的事可以跟大家说，但是当你在扮演某个角色的时候，你是完全的沉静到那个世界中去的。不过我得说那是个不错的经验。）

比较起来Shteetal比较大方的在某个采访中说了一些重点~
一个：THE WORLD UNSEEN premiere - The Sheetal Sheth Interview
1:10开始
主持人：and of cause a question everyone is mind. How was the kissing Lisa Ray？
Sheetal：Lisa is a beautiful girl. so, you can't complain..there was no problem.
（Lisa很漂亮，没什么好抱怨的，没有问题）
注意Sheetal是边笑边说的=v=

二个：Sheetal Sheth- PULSE
2：37开始

主持：so, how was like with Lisa？
Sheetal：Lisa is great. in the unique good time it was great.
主持：you have a make out thing with her...
Sheetal：yes, we we we falling in love so……
主持：you falling in love, you make out.
Sheetal：we love scenes
主持：ok, good, so tell me about ur love scenes.
Sheetal：(laugh) the only I mean the only different thing was with woman...and when you as a actor you working on it. actually it is the same kind of thing...not "oh god it's cheat...how it gonna be" no! because it's difficult with a guy too. it's never fun. it is always ？and there are people whatching you...
（主持人问说和Lisa一起怎样？Sheetal说Lisa很棒，那是段不错的时光。我们相爱了。电影里有love的场景。（和其他电影比起来）唯一不同的就是这是和女生，但是作为一个演员来说都一样啦，因为对方是男演员的话也一样困难。拍这样的镜头并不好玩，而且旁边还有人看着。）

Sheetal根本就是自投罗网，还说" we falling in love"~
有人说演员谈到这个问题一般都用"They"(角色)来带的
Sheetal还在那边声音拔高几度，超可爱的=v=

我发现我近来有偏题的毛病
差点忘记写题目要说的东西汗

好了，因为上述证据都是两人采访中很少的提及
所以fan就不乐意了，于是就有人在导演facebook留言了~
" Leah 写于 4月28日 19:52
Hi, Shamim, i just wanted to let you know that your movie i can't think straight has gven me enough courage to accept my own sexuality. ICTS is an excellent movie. It is disappointing though that Lisa Ray or Sheetal not speak about how it is to work with each other, i mean the scenes together, the kind of preparation they have to do for the role. ……I have search the web for all the transcripts or videos that they might have but unfortunately i have not found one. I have read in you tube that the two stars are not in good terms off set.Anyway good luck and hope you will produce more books and films"

导演第二天回复：
"Shamim Sarif 写于 4月29日 12:56
Hi Leah, thank you. I'm glad ICTS has had such an effect and that you enjoyed it so much. Lisa and Sheetal do live in different places, so it's tough for them to do publicity together! Good luck with everything."
(我很高兴ICTS能有这样的影响力而且你这么喜欢它。Lisa和Sheetal住在不同的地方，所以对她们来说很难一起参加活动！）

虽然是很官方的说法

不过让我意识到这两只根本不住在一起囧（<---严重反应迟钝了

其实按照Lisa的意思，在演员真正融入到角色中的时候也就完全进入到那个角色的世界，所以会爱上剧中要爱的人，也会有相应的心情。演员的即兴表演也源于此吧。

所以我是觉得演员融入角色是很正常的，在那段时间里即使真的对合作的演员有什么特别的情感也可能，只是工作完成后各自回到自己的生活中，感情也就回到本身的状态了。

Sheetal Sheth的邮箱

2009-04-29T23:13:00.006+01:00

ICTS和TWU真的是很好的在用facebook做communication
或者可以说Shamim的制作团队真的很用心的在做communication
可是不像facebook和space这样的空间是不需要任何支付的
网站需要维护费
所以希望Shamim可以一如既往
这样两部电影的官网才不会像很多电影的官网那样过一段时间就消失掉

说起来Shamim肯定私藏了很多现场的照片>~< 昨天在她的facebook出现一张TWU吃饭的合照好似很欢乐的剧组啊~ Lisa和Sheetal的座位呢~有效仿导演一家之嫌（偷笑

哈说了半天没到主题
加Sheetal的facebook回应很快，个人觉得应该是宣传之用，非personal的
所以也可能是工作人员在帮忙管理
有公布邮箱：s@sheetalsheth.com
刚才试着写了一封过去
不抱希望可以收到回复就是

Shamim确实每次都回复的很快
她怎么有那么多时间一一回应呢
亲切印象再加分：）

Shamim Sarif on the Soundtrack:

The movie is contemporary and urban, but also romantic - we wanted to reflect all that in the songs. I always felt the film would contain many songs that would act as part of the score. Leonie Casanova was the first person I approached, because I really rate her song writing and performance very highly. She had composed a new song called Little Feeling which worked beautifully and she then agreed to re-record another of her other songs especially for the movie. Nadine Khouri is another immensely talented singer-songwriter whose songs fit into the mood of the film so well. And we licensed a few songs, including two beautiful Arabic-language songs from Natacha Atlas and an exuberant song from Alabina for the opening scene. And nothing fit the mood and storyline of this movie better than I Kissed a Girl. We had trouble licensing the songs we had wanted in Arabic over the first love scene though. And so Hanan asked me to work on a song, which a friend, Zina Haj-Hasan then translated and which our composer Raiomond Mirza wrote the music for. And inspired by that, I co-wrote another song for the film with Raiomond, which Leonie recorded for us. Raiomond produced several songs and a score that show an amazing breadth and depth of range.

早在电影之前就听到的原声音乐
当时并没有太放在心上也完全没有预计自己会如此喜欢这部电影
当电影落幕再细细听来 Shamim选择音乐和制作上也颇费了一番功夫
参与了歌词创作，也因为版权等问题而重新为first love scene 写了歌
我们听到的那首不知是何语言的Ma Fini Fakker 就由此而来魅惑满盈

Shamim和Hanan颇具慧眼
Leonie Casanova为ICTS写的歌非常合拍
Little Feeling第一次听到就喜欢
Tala和Leyla间的电流已经在Leonie悠缓的述说中不言而喻~

Natacha Atlas更是让我爱上了阿拉伯音乐风~

Asian woman---2009.4Lisa Ray专访

Asian woman
ISSUE 40 2009

翻译：千夜宇
Exclusive: Lisa Ray
The gorgeous Indo-Canadian actress talks about love, life and film Noir

一下杂志图点击进入大图

AW：你在印度是很有名气的模特。当时是怎么被发掘的？

Lisa：喔，回到过去看，我16岁的时候和家人一起在孟买度假。星探在人群中看到我，他给了我一个电话，是模特公司的，后来我就去了。于是如他们说的，休假结束。当时最有名的是我参加了Bombay Dyeing，另外也为Glad Rags杂志拍摄照片，这本杂志在那时候处于首创的地位，是印度第一本时尚杂志。但是我之前从没想过要成为一名模特。我只是想在那度过一段愉快的假期然后回加拿大完成学业并成为一名新闻记者。

（journalist，曾经也是我想成为的……）

AW：你在印度开始了你的职业生涯，那是怎样的生活？

Lisa：我在孟买住了10年。那真是一段不可思议的生活（Lisa用了Wild形容）。我开始面对全新的生活，有了很多新的，生活改变的经验，当然有好的，也有不好的，但总的来说是一段不错的经历。我很感激那段时间。事实上，我都有足够的故事可以写成一本书了！

（狂野的10年？！！）

AW：你又是怎么成为一名演员的呢？
Lisa：最初我是想成为一名新闻记者，但是在走向那条路的途中出现了很多转折。我曾经羞涩而且内向，比起演戏，我更喜欢写作。我去印度寻找机遇的时候，对宝莱坞并不感兴趣。我曾经接到很多电影的邀约，但都婉拒了，因为那不是我期望的前景。然而，我一直都是作为非主流存在的World Cinema的超级粉丝。所以后来，我走进了Vikram Bhatt导演2001年的电影Kasoor。那是我第一部电影并且给了我一次很好的经历——陌生而充满挑战…某种程度上说他颠覆了宝莱坞典型的电影模式。
（不走一般的路，Lisa的选择带有很大的偏向性，知道自己喜好且有所坚持，只是放弃了想要成为记者的梦想不知道至今是否还遗憾。Kasoor里Lisa的表现和现在比起来当然稚嫩很多，脸部表情完全没有如今不着痕迹的丰富。）

AW：自从成为演员，让你记忆最深刻的工作是？
Lisa：应该是电影《水》。这部作品如此近的靠拢我的心，并且一直持续。它以特别的方式，感动了我，它所包含的所有。这部电影是一个真诚的故事，涉及到人文主义。所以说《好莱坞宝莱坞》对于我是一个转折点，它使我第一次有机会和导演Deepa Mehta接触。这一经验改变了我的世界观，于是我决定去伦敦的戏剧艺术学校学习以扩宽我的视野。

AW：《水》获得了奥斯卡提名。你是否惊讶于它评判性的喝彩？
Lisa：我并没有太吃惊。那是一部奇妙的电影，我觉得它应该获得奥斯卡最佳影片奖。电影描绘了Deepa电影制作过程的一个转变。撇开她必须面对的使电影计划付诸实施的种种阻碍不说，她完成了一部优秀的作品，那是一份人类灵魂的声明。

AW：你和《水》的合演者John Abraham合作很好？
Lisa：是的。我们的专业背景很相似，都是由成功的模特转型到演员。他是个有趣的人，我们很快就熟悉了。我想这部电影给了他很好的机会去展示他的才华。

AW：你曾经比喻的说过宝莱坞电影不适合你，因为其中一些是“暂时的营地”和“over the top”。你现在还是这么认为吗？
Lisa：当我才出发的时候，我希望打破固定的模板而且不想自己固定在某一特定的类型中或成为某一特定的角色。所以，我离开了印度去从事我想要从事的电影。但是现在，我发现自己想的并不全对，相反的，宝莱坞现在变得更加严谨了。所以，我会认真的考虑从事宝莱坞电影。

AW：你总是有热情去扮演非传统的角色，为什么？
Lisa：我也不知道为什么-我只是很享受不同的角色，而且我很喜欢挑战富有创造性的角色。我不想一成不变。我想，在美国他们倾向于多重可塑性的演员，而很少是依照种族，所以他们会启用世界其他地方的演员。

AW：你有印度河波兰血统。这对你有什么影响么？
Lisa：这就是我！可以转换角色了。我想我这东西方综合的容貌可以给角色带来些独特。但是也会有这样的时候，我曾被告知说“我看起来不够印度”去扮演一个特定的角色。

AW：是否有什么计划进军好莱坞？
Lisa：“好莱坞”怎么定义的? 我已经从事了很多工作是“美国制造”的，但不是非得好莱坞电影。恩，如果遇到了好的剧本我就会考虑。最近，我是一部大预算好莱坞电影的最后三名候选人的其中一个，所以我真的很兴奋而且是我事业取得的另一个成绩。现在，我在加拿大参与一部电影的拍摄，叫做《Black Box》。为了扮演好这个角色我正在学法语。我已经和Deepa Mehta合作完成了一部电影，名字暂定是《Stella》。Deepa是这部电影的制片人。而且，《I can’t think straight》和《The world unseen》也很快要发布。所以对我来说真是一段忙碌的时间。
（好了，整个访问完了才提到我们的电影，这时候看到Lisa做封面还以为有特别原因呢，如此循规蹈矩，Asian woman基本就是讲印度的杂志，所以依然是敏感话题吧）

Quick Fire…
1. 喜欢潮流或是时尚狂人？
Lisa：我通常以很特别的方式走近时尚——因为获得很多免费的赞助，我已经很多年没有买东西了。但是现在我觉得这真是太实利了。我仍然很喜欢漂亮的东西，只不过不沉迷于时尚罢了。

2. 最喜欢的设计师？
Lisa：我喜欢意大利的时尚和设计。Prada的风格很可爱。我也很喜欢Wendell Roderick的设计。他设计的白色纱丽非常漂亮，就是在2005年多伦多电影节，我穿去参加《水》首次公映的那件。2007年的奥斯卡上，我选择了一件无设计师的礼服，Deepa Mehta觉得因为电影《水》的主题才是最基本的，所以我们还是不要穿着设计师的衣服出席。

3. 想与哪个导演合作？
Lisa：Marc Forster. 我很敬重他是人文主义电影工作者。Darren Aronofsky –我认为Mickey Rourke扮演的《The Wrestler》（摔跤手）是一部非常不错的电影。
（看Lisa的选择，太过商业性的电影跟她怕是没缘了）

4. 谏言？
Lisa：一条出自西藏的谏言：如果你获得了什么，那是源于最初开始的努力。如果你失去了什么，那危机也从没有远离过你。

5. 爱情？
Lisa：我现在和一个对我来说很重要的人在一起。他不在电影界，不过作为一个投资银行家，他在那个领域很出名。我目前并没有结婚的计划。

6. 最近怎样？
Lisa：2008年我花了一些时间在外面，其中6个月在达兰萨拉，印度北部喜马偕尔邦西北山区。那是一件很棒的事，与自然交流并且获得一些人生的启发。

点我进入影片相册

L电影看了不少，很多成为过眼云烟，亦或是很难长时间的去迷恋。而我大体偏向两种，一种捎带文艺性质有深层意义的电影，一种看完让人轻松快乐，在某个午后想起一些片段也会会心一笑的影片。04的《Image me and you》让人感觉像是早晨倾进窗台的阳光，淡淡的清新温暖，幸福就是那种柔和的感觉。在搁浅了那么几年后，ICTS又带来了那样简单而甜蜜的幸福。只是影片时间长度多少让人有点遗憾，而导演Shamim对于这部电影的感情也一定非同一般，失而复得，即使因为资金而留下了遗憾，呈现在观众面前的已经算是一部优秀的作品。

I can’t think straight
现在很喜欢这句话~一语双关~
Leyla和Tala的角色设计现在看来非常的讨巧，两个人性格中矛盾的因素却正好互相弥补了去。连在床上都是（笑

这是一部调皮又诙谐的电影，似乎每一个角色都有小特点，如果你以挑剔的眼光来看，或许会发现那么点不如意，可她确是一杯飘逸了淡淡清香的午后茶，品到香浓时，也会迷醉。

大赞的是这部电影的音乐，开始下了OST来听没什么感觉，配合电影一看，如今躺在我MP3里天天听~Leonie Casanova颇有才气的~

这是我看的Lisa的第一部电影，虽然因此而开始喜欢Lisa，到现在，却不仅如此而已了。最开始由Tala丰富的表情而吸引，到Lisa本身性格的契合，再到她性格的魅力以及那些隐藏的矛盾，一点点发掘（很像以前发掘某千的过程~）也一点点的更加喜欢。

把原本的下载链接移掉了，和ICTS的缘分或者说和Shamim的缘分持续时间会到多久我不知道。事情的发展也往往向着完全没有预料的方向发展着。谁又会知道我后来参与了Shamim电影官方简体中文字幕的制作呢……收到Shamim寄过来签了名的小说时，看着在书桌上堆的跟小山一样高的Shamim的作品时，我笑了…

知道盗版的危害，可是Shamim的努力让我看到了一个独立制作电影人背后艰辛的历程，比我想象的艰难的多，想要完全的支持她。所以下载链接取消~喜欢电影的人请购买正版中文字幕DVD吧，不久的将来就出现的~

----------------------
I can't think straight DVD收录：
Special Bonus Features include:
Director's Commentary
Making of Photo Gallery
Little Feeling Music Video
Making of "Little Feeling"
Alternative Ending

因为ICTS和TWU，第一次和电影导演有了“交流”
无论是因为Shamim的平易还是她们运作模式的personal
看着导演亲自签名的感谢卡片
想起她回邮时提到的illegal downloads问题
虽然对于我们 free download或许是给相关产品带来了一些效益也不一定
大家因为喜欢楼里很多人买了DVD、CD、书
所以还是希望更多人能够看到并喜欢Shamim的电影
于是任性的把链接放上来了
TWU链接失效现在只有ICTS的

关于Alternative ending嘛……
手持录像机拍摄的蒙太奇式的另一个ending
只有1分多钟，几年后的画面
公园草地上Tala和Leyla还有她们的孩子愉快的野餐
Hani和他的妻子、小孩也在哦
不过最后镜头莫名的转到了正在吸烟的Reema且就此完结
Reema略微的笑说明了什么吧~
总之还是幸福ending

不过
人家Hani夫妻还kiss了下呢
Tala和Leyla就只顾着陪小孩了╮(╯◇╰)╭

剧情：硬汉乔伊刚刚从监狱中释放出来，在曼哈顿街头遇到了一个电视制作人想一起合作办个知识节目，但是制片人却是想利用这个机会计划谋杀自己的妻子，而乔伊正是一个完美的替罪羊。　　

又是一部根据同名小说改变的电影。由加瑞思•马克斯维尔•罗伯茨执导，去年获得伦敦电影节最佳国际影片奖。绝对的黑色电影，阴暗潮湿的气息占据了大部分时间阴谋在最后一分钟揭晓，我的胃翻江倒海的，救赎也是一种选择……

Lisa在电影里很漂亮，可是，如果只为了看Lisa的话，还是放弃这部电影吧。Lisa有一段全裸演出，不过看的我心沉沉的，非常的沉沉的OTL

Rahul Khanna, 年轻, 富有，在拿大生活。与女友分手后，母亲希望他能找一个印度女孩作为妻子。可他却坚持自己找自己的新娘，于是邂逅了Sue。相遇是偶然，似乎也是注定，一句“I can be whoever you want me to be”拉开了一场欺瞒全家的旅程，偏偏爱情悄无声息的就这样蔓延开了……

这部电影是Lisa去英国学习表演前拍摄的，她说当年的自己是门外汉，都没有clue的。剧中有三段主要的歌舞场景。第一场，Lisa惊艳全场，由悠悠歌声到群群起舞，完美的融入到Rahul的家庭，也正是这个时候Sue走进了他的心。

混血如Lisa这般，要不是穿上了那身印度服饰，又怎知她有印度血统。可偏偏摇身一变后的印度女孩也这么合衬~导演依然是Deepa Mehta，我不得不说她确实给Lisa带来了两部不错的电影，目前还在合作新片（要变御用么？）

《月亮河》是梅赫塔要素三部曲（前两部分别是《火》和《土》）中的第三部影片。这部电影的背景是在20世纪30年代，其讲述了一个刚刚成为寡妇的8岁女孩楚娅（萨拉拉饰）的故事。根据印度教的传统，她的头发被剪掉了，而且被带到一个只有女人住的收容所。在那里，楚娅必须对她过去犯下的罪过进行忏悔，因为她被认为导致了丈夫的死。这个收容所里有年轻和年老的女人，一些人接受了这样的命运，但一些人却对自己的未来还有憧憬。小楚娅在这里开始思索她在世界上的角色到底是什么。　　

《月亮河》本来定于2000年1月30日开拍，但一些印度教极端分子却决意要阻止影片的拍摄，他们说这个剧本“粗俗”，是对“道德的亵渎”。最终，这部花费180万美元的电影杀青了，但相关的事情却并没有结束。当电影上映时，宗教极端分子大肆进行污蔑，梅赫塔自己的生命都面临着威胁。　　

梅赫塔说，她得知《月亮河》将在多伦多电影节揭幕式上放映后非常开心，目前梅赫塔已经加入了加拿大国籍。　　

印度著名影星丽莎.雷（Lisa Ray）扮演了片中的卡尔娅妮，这是一个因为自己的丈夫的死以及自己的命运而感到痛苦不堪的妇女，雷说她“对于能够拍梅赫塔的这部片子感到自豪”，她还说，希望观众能够用开放的心态来观赏这部影片。

Water看完后，挥之不去的是Lisa扮演的Kalyani，就像夜里的一点亮光，电影的另一个小主角第一次见她也不禁说：“你真像天使”。很喜欢Kalyani在楼上拧衣服水洒了人后躲起来和抬着烛台夜行那段~

影片没有大起大落的剧情，即使Kalyani走向夜下恒河圣水的背影都是那么宁静。可穿插其中的压抑和希望也值得好好一看。可怕的不是良知与信念的冲突，而是人类在宗教的借口下被蒙蔽了双眼。这部电影不愧取名为水，水在里边代表了太多内涵，有兴趣的话可以看看这篇评文，

导演Deepa对Lisa来说意义重大，她开启了Lisa之后的电影之路，为她打开了更多的可能，也让更多的人记住了Lisa Ray。

另外Lisa为了短短几分钟的镜头而剪掉了长发，很敬业

导演访谈：
《Water》这部片名的意义是什么？
水总是流动著，而不流动的水则会产生问题。在这部时间背景为30年代末期的电影中，很多人已经超过两千年都依照着宗教教义的规定而过着严谨的生活。直到今日，人们仍然遵循着教义，这也就是為什么在印度仍有数以百万的寡妇存在。我认为传统不应该是这么死板的，他们应该像活水般流动着。

在过去五年里，你曾经想过要放弃这个拍片计画吗？
从来没有，但是我在这期间也拍了另外两部电影—《好莱坞有个宝莱坞》﹝Bollywood＼ Hollywood﹞和《爱的共和国》﹝Republic of Love﹞，因为我需要远离那些争议、痛苦以及背叛的感觉。你曾经说过很多次你不会去制作有争议性的电影。没错，不幸的是人们总是在讨论这几部电影里的争议性。我想做的只是一部能让人思考的电影，来帮助我们去了解自己的社会。

你如何让这个拍摄计画保密呢？
它自己本身就是一个秘密了﹝笑﹞。我们有包括约翰‧亚伯拉罕、丽莎‧雷、希玛‧比斯瓦等充满自信的演员，而且我们创造了一个假象。我们说我们正在拍摄的电影叫做《满月》﹝Full Moon﹞，有些人以為我们正在拍的是《好莱坞有个宝莱坞》的续集，所以我们也就让这个假象持续下去。

你是否曾经对你自己说，你一定要完成这部电影来告诉那些反对者说，你不会因为威胁而退缩？
从不。我不认為这个方法是好的或是正确的。我想完成这个电影只是因为它是人生三部曲的最后一部，而它处理的议题是关于宗教上的政治。

作伟一个电影创作者，完成这部电影是我渴望的目标。為什么基本教义派的人会如此的反对这部电影？
我认為这是因为《water》反映了印度社会的真实情况。印度教基本教义派的人正在大张旗鼓，他们以不宽容的态度去对待其他信仰的人，因此我们成为了容易攻击的目标。

你已经找到印度的发行商来发行这部电影了吗？
我们还没有送任何拷贝到印度，但已经有几个片商抵达了多伦多来看这部电影。我希望这电影能在印度大量发行，虽然有些人仍然认为这部电影以消极、反面的态度来描绘印度，但你仍然可以在片中看到甘地为印度带来深刻的影响。

因为你曾经在印度有过这些恐怖的经验，那么你还会想要在那里拍另一部电影吗？
除去印度的混乱与官僚政治，我非常喜爱在那里拍电影。毕竟我是在印度成长，而且看着宝莱坞的电影长大的，再加上我爸爸他是北印度的片商。

你在拍摄《water》的过程中遇过最气馁的事是什么？
应该是我们必须在斯里兰卡重新创造出一个印度。虽然我们无法在斯里兰卡重现瓦拉纳西（Varanasi），不过我们尽量表现出「浴火重生」（burning ghats）的意义。

但这样的话你不就失去了在瓦拉纳西的场景了吗？
没错，但是瓦拉纳西就只是一个背景而已，而寡妇之家是可以出现在印度的任何地方的。

你在你爸爸身上学到了什么人生课题吗？
我爸爸曾说过，在人生中你永远不能确定两件事情，那就是：死亡什麼时候会来临，以及这部电影的票房将会怎样。

Lisa Ray on Playing it Gay... Twice 访问翻译~

2009-04-27T03:01:00.001+01:00

leyumuisc发给我的连接~
之前没有看到过关于ICTS和TWU的访问
可以了解Lisa想法

点我进入访问页
部分翻译：
翻译：千夜宇
TEG：两部电影是紧接着拍摄的么？
Lisa：不是，我们先拍了ICTS，6-8个月之后才拍的TWU

TEG：一口气与同一个导演和同一个演员合作是怎样的？
Lisa：呃，就那么发生了
一开始的计划并不是我们要合作两部电影

TEG：可是这看起来是故意这么做的
Lisa：是啊，始料未及的。不过作为一个演员，我看每个计划都是独立开的。当你看到了剧本，走进了那个特殊的人物，你可能就忽略了或者没意识到外界会有的反应。
（宇：大家都太过关注她们一起拍摄了两部电影，且发行的日期那么近，其实背后过程没那么简单，并不是一口气签下了两部电影，只是有了ICTS的合作后，导演对演员有了更深的了解而把她们引入了TWU，或者说希望再合作的相互的想法，这样的巧合在我们看来变得很神奇~当然不是橘子同学说的那样为了宣传和连带效应而采用同样的演员）

TEG：以前扮演gay的角色就是一种禁忌，虽然后来很多演员加入到THE L WORD，但是你接着扮演了2次这样的角色，是否会有所畏惧？
Lisa：在我的演员生涯中我会选择尝试不同的角色，所以说，不会。幸运的是我并没朝那方面想过，要知道，一个角色就是一个独立的角色。
（a role is a role is a role. 哈，我们有见地的Lisa，怎么能不爱呢？）

TEG：water和TWU是同一个时代的故事，而ICTS却那么现代，你是否有偏爱哪种类型的角色？Lisa：有时候不同时代确实是一个挑战。最近我很多工作如此…………我享受这样的差异性。

TEG：问道出席两部电影的宣传，电影节之类
Lisa：去年大部分时间我都在旅游，所以没能够出席太多。
（哎…和大眼妹一起多出席活动才对啊）

TEG：我为什么要这样问呢，是因为如果你有出席电影节的话你就会发现你已经成为Lesbian偶像，很多观众都疯狂的迷恋上你了
Lisa：（笑）我很高兴听你这么说。非常的感激。其实我的负责人已经告诉我了，他说你获得了很多人的喜爱有新的观众基础啦。我真的很高兴，如果你能想象，那真是太奇妙了。
（Lisa 事业上的重大转变？！=v=）

TEG：对TWU的角色你做过什么研究吗，那真的有很多层次需要把握
Lisa：恩，去到南非，呼吸那里的空气，去感受那片土地，和当地的人们交谈……并且读了很多东西。关于种族隔离的东西。这对于Miriam所处的那个时代和背景很重要，帮助我去了解她的世界。之后，尝试去捕捉人物的性格和特征。所以，我曾经做了两种不同的准备工作。也许这也正是不同时代的故事吸引人的地方。你必须去寻找那个时代并且把握住它的特征。。。就是这样，实际上那让我的工作变成双份的了，所以，我应该领到双份工资的。

TEG：（笑）
Lisa：下次我可要记得这事，我现在知道了~
（呵呵，毫无疑问的应该给Lisa的性格标上可爱）

TEG：在ICTS理你扮演了一位约旦女性，那么你对这个角色有所研究吗？
Lisa：恩，没有，我是说，你要如何扮演一个约旦人呢？

TEG：也是，你说的对
Lisa：更多的应该是看剧情里特定的地点、时间和情形。我在伦敦住过好多年，所以对角色的这个特点我很熟悉啦。

TEG：很享受跟导演和合演者的工作是否成为你再接演TWU的理由？
Lisa：并不是，因为他们是两个完全不同的企划。要求也是完全不一样的。我喜欢挑战我的演技。这算是带我去到不同地方的动机吧，就像给自己上了发条，不断的前进。

TEG：关于ICTS……
Lisa：TWU带给人更多的沉思和思考空间。

TEG说看过Lisa的三部电影（包括water）后花了20分钟才能直线思考，意识到三个角色出自同一个演员，因为角色是那么的不同。（用了into Think Straight 哈哈）
Lisa：很高兴听你这么说，真的是很大的称赞。。我想做的正是真正的融入到每个我扮演的角色中去。

TEG：我不得不说你和Sheetal的某些场面……非常热辣&煽情。
Lisa：是呢，我知道。

TEG：拍的时候是不是很有趣？
Lisa：那就是……工作的一天。上班打卡，下班回家。抱歉像是汇报，但就是那样。
（又避开不说了）

之后巴拉巴拉讲了其他内容，包括Lisa由混血引发的自我定义
以上

London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival对Shamim的采访片段

2009-04-27T02:46:00.000+01:00

原来拍摄ICTS的时候遇到了一个无德的出资者，最后竟然都不支付使得电影的制作几乎瘫痪，而且Shamim她们还失去了所有权的样子，弄到上法庭，这段时间导演每天泪如雨下，还是Hanan够坚定。用了一年半的时间去解决这个问题，期间就拍摄了TWU，拍完TWU的时候ICTS才拿回来，所以两部电影是同时进行后期制作的。

导演说她们一度认为拿不回ICTS了……我们今天看到还真不容易啊，难怪电影那么短。

BTW，导演一开始考虑的是两个阿拉伯演员，不过人家不同意拍摄love scenes，所以有了今天的Lisa姐和大眼妹~

不过即使在英国上映也只是在有限的剧院，难怪我才回到利兹立刻冲到电影院结果就是完全失落。之前还想着会不会在街上看到宣传海报，=A=……想要在大荧幕看Lisa和Sheetal的心愿无法完成了。。。

Interview: I Just Can’t Think Straight Director Shamim Sharif talks controversy and coming out
April 2, 2009 by admin

This year’s London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival at the BFI has had OTB all a-quiver with its superb selection of cinema’s lesser-celebrated niche, and we were lucky enough to attend an exclusive screening of Shamim Sarif’s I Can’t Think Straight and secure an interview with the director herself.

Here Sally McIlhone talks to the inspirational novelist and filmmaker about the controversy surrounding the film’s production, coming out and racism….

OTB: You were involved in the BFI last year with The World Unseen, but I Can’t Think Straight actually got shot prior to this didn’t it?

Shamim Sharif - We shot I Can’t Think Straight the year before The World Unseen. We had a very unscrupulous financier who wasn’t paying anybody along the way and made the shoot very difficult, so the whole thing collapsed after we finished shooting. Then we had to go through a court process to get the movie back. I was all for just forgetting about it and weeping for six months but Hanan (the film’s producer and Sharif’s wife) was very tenacious about going after this guy; that took about a year and a half, so during that time we set up The World Unseen, went on to South Africa and after we’d finished shooting, we got [I Can't Think Straight] back, so we did the post-production on both films almost simultaneously and then finished them together. It was a crazy time but really wonderful to get [I Can't Think Straight] back; we thought we wouldn’t see it again at one point.

How difficult was it to adapt I Can’t Think Straight from your novel into the film?

Well, it’s great to have fantastic source material! I was writing screenplays at the same time as I was writing novels so it was a familiar genre to me. It wasn’t a complete switch but it was a lesson in identifying what I wanted to explore and then finding the visual way to do that. It’s definitely not the right thing to just translate scene by scene from the novel to a script, it just won’t work.

So what do you see yourself a? A film director, a novelist, a Renaissance woman?!

I see myself as a storyteller, that’s probably the easiest way to say it. I’m lucky to get to work with these three different media and I love them all. I really wouldn’t want to pick one over the other. It’s really just about communicating a vision and an idea and characters to an audience.

Is there anything else in the works for next year’s LLGFF?

I’m going to pass that over to my superhuman producer wife.
Hanan Kattan: The next project will be based on Shamim’s short story “The Dreaming Spires” and we’re also working on Shamim’s second novel which is “Despite The Falling Snow”.

You mentioned that there have been problems with people downloading the film, can you tell us a little bit about that?

SS: As a very small independent production company we were interested in online marketing. It’s been amazing for us in terms of the fact that particularly for I Can’t Think Straight people have really picked up on it over the internet and supported it and we’ve got 800,000 hits on Metacafe with the trailer. The other side is that since the film has been released in America people have started to put the movie up for download or streaming and that’s been a huge problem. It’s something we’d never do but then I guess we’re probably a generation above the “younger people” and it’s just odd to me because you wouldn’t walk into a shop and just pick something up and walk out but I think that with the internet, it’s become kind of culturally acceptable to do that with movies and books. I’d just like to implore people, please think twice because we worked on these movies for a lot of years and with a lot of stress without getting paid, in the hope of being able to recoup the money from the people who have faith in us. It just makes it harder and harder because ironically people download it and email me to say “When’s your next movie?” and I say “Never! Thanks!”

What’s been the community reaction?

By and large it’s been really positive, especially for people who are struggling with things or living a double life. They’ve emailed me to say, “It’s given us hope that we can do something slightly differently.”

We’ve had a lot of interviews especially with BBC Asian Network and people like that, all about controversy, controversy, controversy. So I say, “Well, what controversy do you mean?” Then they have to get through to the homosexuality without actually saying it. But then again neither of our families have seen this particular film yet because their might be a slight streak of autobiography in there. But they liked The World Unseen.

The “coming out” scene was handled in quite a light-hearted, comedic way and realistically it can be really difficult. Would you ever consider looking at the other side whereby as a Muslim you come out and you’re not accepted, you are ostracized from your family?

Yeah I think I would, I think it’s very important and it’s a big thing for me one way or the other. In fact, the first incarnation of the book was quite serious in dealing with that because it really wasn’t quite like that for us, that was five years of trauma put into three minutes of comedy. It was almost too close and I think that was a way of distancing what we’d both been through. It has been a really long haul and quite traumatic with our families so it’s not something I’d brush over lightly and I think I’d definitely be open to exploring that.

It’s a matter of pushing people’s perceptions of boundaries and understandings and hopefully putting some more role models out there that will say to people, “It’s not an abstract horrible concept.” There are people who feel a certain way and try with something artistic like a book or a movie to involve people in the characters and therefore make it less of a scary concept because there are far bigger things that all of our parents could be worrying about.

Quite a few of the actresses are quite light skinned and I know there’s still a prevalent cultural hierarchy – the whiter is the better – was that a conscious choice?

That wasn’t conscious, I think what happened with the Arab family, in general, see Exhibit A . We wanted actors who looked more Arab than Indian. We had a very short casting process because of time and budgets, and we weren’t able to go to the Middle East to cast so we were casting from Arab actors [in England]. The two Arab actresses I thought could do the role didn’t want to do the love scenes, so we were forced to cast wider and went to Lisa Ray, who we’d just seen in Water. She is half Indian, half Polish but I think that ethnicity was less important to me than being right for the role, so I didn’t get too bogged down in whether the two families matched.

Are you worried about the controversy, because their have been strong reactions to films like I Can’t Think Straight coming out (pun whole-heartedly intended)?

I guess it has crossed my mind. I don’t want to be a target for anyone’s abuse or hatred but I tried then to just keep sight of why I made this film. It wasn’t to cause controversy, it wasn’t to offend people or at least it was to offend everybody equally. It was just to say, “this is a story, this is how life is, this is how life should be” and if that means we have to question our cultures, our communities, our religious ideas a bit more, then all of those things should be able to withstand questioning if they’re worth keeping.

You talk a lot about religion and politics and a lot of other polarizing factors in I Can’t Think Straight, is that a kind of a running metaphor for how perhaps homosexuality polarises people’s opinions?

Yes, I think so, it reflects on a wider scale. But also the function of the politics and religion was part of portraying an Arab family because if you’ve spent any time in the Arab world or with Arabs, you can’t spend five minutes without either of those topics coming up, it’s just like Tala says, “This is small talk in the Middle East”; it’s just part of the fabric of everyday life. So it would have been kind of disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

You call your partner Hanan, your ‘producer wife’, is it difficult to live and work with a loved one?

No, for me it’s the best thing in the world; I love it and I love working with her so we spend an awful lot of time together but I think we both enjoy it. It is wonderful, and I don’t like working away from home. Having said that there are always moments of stress where you find yourself immersed in work and you have to be careful of that, we try and carve out a little bit of time when we’re just wife and wife rather than producer and director.

You mentioned how the film was semi-autobiographical, was that difficult for you throughout the film-making process?

No, I think it was harder during the writing process, that was where all of the emotional fallout was happening. I think by the time we got to filming there were so many other things that I was concerned about. It had become a separate entity from our story in my mind that I just needed to get down as well as I could. At the same time, it was interesting to see moments that felt very true to life, especially when one of the actors had captured something particularly well, like in Layla’s coming out scene, that definitely had an effect on me.

How is the film being received worldwide?

In general the response has been phenomenal. We’ve had really great responses especially from audiences, they really seem to love both films, which is really nice. Because you’re never quite sure when you’re so close to something, and until somebody sees it, you don’t really know how it’s going to go down. But it’s done really well at festivals, we’ve got a lot of prizes, but more than that I think the audience response has been really wonderful.

I Can’t Think Straight will be having a limited theatrical release, in London’s Apollo Lower Regent Street from Friday 3rd April and will be available on DVD shortly after.

Shamim Sarif正在筹拍电影---The Dreaming Spires

The Dreaming Spires

官网简介：

Adapted from Shamim Sarif’s published short story The Reader, the film is set in post-War Oxford, England. Twenty year old American student Joseph Connor takes a job reading to an unconventional young woman, a blind English professor at Oxford University. Kate Graves is thirty, married to a wealthy war veteran. Her sharp wit and striking beauty find an unexpected soul mate in the shy, sensitive Joseph.

As in The Remains of the Day, the passion which grows between them is marked, but subtle. Their ages, cultures and circumstances may conspire to keep them apart, but Joseph forces Kate to look at the empty core of the life she has so determinedly built for herself, while she provides the young student and aspiring writer with the confidence and trust that he needs to believe in himself. Soon entering pre-production, The Dreaming Spires is a love story that transcends the usual coming-of-age conventions.

根据Shamim Sarif已出版的短篇小说《The Reader》改编，故事发生在战后的英国牛津。20岁的美国学生Joseph Connor获得了一个工作机会，为一位非传统的年轻女性阅读，她是牛津大学的英文教授，并且是盲人。Kate Graves已经30岁，嫁给了一个富有的退伍军人。她的聪明睿智和美丽为她找到了一个意想不到的灵魂伴侣，羞涩且敏感的Joseph。

就像《The Remains of the Day》中发生的那样，他们之间激情的滋长来的显著却微妙。不同的年龄、文化和背景可能使得他们必须分离，但是Joseph促使Kate去审视她曾经为自己决然建立起来的空洞生活。同时，Kate也给这个年轻的学生和有抱负的作家带来了信心与信任。

电影筹备中，传说是超越了寻常年龄的爱情故事。这个明显的不是les了吧，恩。

当时看到名字时就想到今年奥斯卡的《生死朗读》，现在照这简介的内容看，也颇有相似地方，只不过Shamim写的短篇。Shamim的拍摄手法我还蛮喜欢的，不过现在就开始等她的下部电影的话，估计会等吐血。

他生命里出现两个女人——其中一个将要打开他尘封已久的心；另一个则坚决的揭露了关于这些年来Katya身上究竟发生了什么的真相。小说带你回到那个被雪覆盖了街道的斯大林主义后的莫斯科，揭示了一个秘密和背叛编织的动荡、危险的世界。

以下是电影相关介绍补充：
一个强烈而富有时代感的爱情故事，Despite the Falling Snow毫不费力的穿越了时间与空间，来回于当代的波士顿和1950的莫斯科，展开了一段迷人的爱情故事，同时也是背叛与拯救的故事。

官网上有一段节选，大家可以去看看。是男主角Alexander和Katya的一场对话，男主认为Katya改变了他看待事情的眼光，也就是Katya的出现颠覆了男主的世界。期间有提到赫鲁晓夫，斯大林……巴拉巴拉讲了一堆，关键的才来，Katya不是省油的灯，他乘Alexander在厨房的时候跑去卧室偷偷打开他的公文包并记下了某些东西…Katya背后有故事。哈，有意思，感觉有点spy，可是和Les有没有关系就不得而知了。不过，这本书既然出现在了Leyla 的桌上，那么我们是不是可以联想一下？

另外，在一则大概是前年的新闻里有看过说Shamim下部讲述俄罗斯的电影也计划请Lisa来演
新闻链接点我
"Up next, for Sarif is a film set in Russia. And she plans to cast Ray again in the lead role. She also hopes to finish the novel of I Can't Think Straight. And early next year the two films are scheduled to open in UK, Germany and even India."

以角色的相似度来看很有可能，如果Lisa也对剧本感兴趣的话再合作的机会也不是没可能，我是非常希望Shamim成为Lisa的另一个Deepa的（其实某种方面来说已经是了~）

Shamim Sarif的回邮~

2009-04-27T02:02:00.000+01:00

对Shamim的印象在一点点的叠加，从她的文字，从演员的叙述，到她的邮件
不过之前有列在Enlightenment官网中的Shamim的邮箱地址现在已经没在了…why？

三月的时候刚好是看了电影在疯狂搜寻相关的时候，逛到Enlightenment就看到导演邮箱的连接，于是脑袋一发晕，冲动的写了封邮件给Shamim，其实是想问问为什么没有TWU的OST和接下来的工作，外加大力赞赏了一番Lisa姐和大眼妹。没想到第二天一早就收到回信（虽然有在导演的blog里看到说她会亲自看邮件）。只是看到她说illegal downloads的问题，相当心虚==

不过现在DVD都买齐了，连书都买了，还准备买她的其他本书，非常支持正版了呐~

第一次回信内容：
Dear Ivy

Thank you for your lovely email. I really appreciate that you are so supportive of my work and very happy you liked the movies so much.

hope you did not watch them on illegal downloads?! I only ask because sometimes people do not think about it, but in fact these download sites hurt filmmakers like me and Hanan and eventually prevent us from making more films.

The DVDs and books are available through the film websites (below), and the DVDs are shipping exclusively from our sites in early April. I hope you will send the links to everyone you know! And thank you for having the discussions too! Which forums are they on?

We are working on another film, but it may be a while before we can raise the financing and shoot it.

I should also let you know that ICTS is playing in London on 27th March at the BFI as part of the London Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, in case you can make it! And The World Unseen is in Manchester on 21st March for a charity screening (closer to Leeds!) and details are on the website.

Thanks again for taking the time.
Kind regards
Shamim

第二次写信想要告诉导演关于字幕的问题，也很快就回复了，不过这些具体的细节问题并没有多说。

Thank you again, Ivy, I do remember, and I am very happy that you enjoyed both films. They are different from the books, but I think that is normal – they are very different ways of writing and telling a story!

Thanks for taking the time to let me know your thoughts.

I can't think straight & The world unseen DVD导演解说

2009-04-27T01:33:00.001+01:00

看DVD“Director's Commentary”，可以听到导演的解说和想法，Shamim Sarif对两部电影都从头到尾的附上了解说。下边只是在我有限的听力中发现的东西，不保证对咯（pia飞……

先摘录导演对于ICTS想要表达的东西：
"You can only find true love if you truth yourself"
"You have to really be ok with yourself for you can find true love"
"When you being truth youself, sb can save you from yourself. True love can do that.."

truth yourself....true love....以自己走过的经历来讲这样的想法，导演是幸运的，或许也正如她所说，对自己诚实了，才握住了现在的幸福。这般简单的话，用到现实，只怕要做回自己也不是简单想要去努力就可以的事情，人，复杂的关系，对自己诚实或许会伤害到别人呢？那要怎么办……那么，起码朝着真实努力走吧。

导演的妈妈也有出现在TWU里边，就是同Amina“相亲”那个男孩的母亲
导演的小孩也有出现在两部电影里

电影拍摄预算真的是很成问题，导演说了很多次…说起来，家人的支持真的是很重要的一环，不然要解决这个问题都会耗费消磨太多感情，导演的父母肯定相当支持她（真是越说越羡慕她这份幸福呐）。看一个人的文字可以看到他的内心或曾经的经历，在ICTS里导演想要表达的获得真爱首先要做真的自己，Tala和Leyla都有包容和理解的父亲，TWU里边Amina的父亲也是如此，甚至还鼓励她……所以做真的自己的艰险阻碍多少降低了，能够说如果遇到了这样的父母真的就是很幸运了吧…正好昨天跟我老妈意外的进行了一场惊心的“交流”（其实一个有心，一个无意）她看我去荷兰拍的照片，里边有Homo Monument“同性恋纪念碑”的照片，因为那碑长得挺特别的就问了我，结果就讨论起同性问题了，我第一次和老妈这么正面的说起这个问题，所以也是第一次知道她的想法，结果是听的我心惊肉跳的，果然要他们理解还是比较困难吧= =

update!资金问题导致的延伸问题很多，比如胶片，所以很多镜头都只能拍摄2次，好在演员都非常的配合~

导演自己都说Amina是个调情高手呢
Miriam去Amina家看到她换衣服的时候，Amina出来时那么一靠近，镜头闪过后是Miriam轻触自己的嘴唇，那里是有被Kiss到么，或者轻轻碰了下？导演说She'd actually been kissed

很多镜头都让两人自己发挥了的，Miriam那些touch neck、mouth的动作，还有Amina去找Miriam要雇用她那里几乎kiss上去，导演说Sheetal事先都没跟她说会这么演~~于是两个人的对手戏，在不知道对方会怎么表达的前提下要做反应，真的是必须很入戏呐（我相当的怀疑两人间强烈的化学效应啊，导演也乐在其中

很有意思，一开始导演说的时候都是用Miriam和Amina在讲，后来说着说着就都变成直接叫Lisa和Sheetal怎样怎样的~~

Poem from Amina to Miriam

Love
爱神

乔治·赫伯特(George Herbert 1593—1633)
英国诗人、牧师

Love bade me welcome; yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin．
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in, Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I asked anything．
"A guest," I answered, "worthy to be here."
Love said, “you should be he."
"I, the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear,I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand, and smiling, did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I? "
"Truth, Lord, but I have marred them: let my shame "Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not,” says Love, “who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down,” says Love, “and taste my meet. "
So I did sit and eat．

爱神对我表示欢迎，这可吓退了我的灵魂，带着负罪的愧疚，带着浮世的灰尘；
我浑身无精打采，逃不过那雪亮的眼睛；爱神看的一清二楚，就在我刚刚跨进大门。
爱神向我走来，爱神向我靠近，“你需要什么？”爱神亲亲热热向我发问。
我说：“需要一位娇客，配得上做你的嘉宾。”
爱神却脱口而出：你就是这位客人。
“我这个人有些冷酷，我不懂知恩报恩，呵，亲爱的我怎么配受到你的垂青？”
爱神拉起我的手，笑着说这话她不赞成，
“这个世界上除了我，还有谁与你眉目传情？”
上帝啊，老天，我的眼睛已经毁损，羞愧令我无地自容，我的忤逆难以忍受。
爱神说“这不是你的过错，你不该背上这种罪名。”
“亲爱的，既然如此，那我就甘做你的仆人。”
爱神说：“你且就坐，我要把你宴请。”
于是我从命，坐下来把爱的大餐细嚼慢品。

Miriam寄给Amina的书中，内页附有：
"all the wild summer was in her gaze"

The Folly of Being Comforted
徒劳的安慰

叶慈(William Butler Yeats 1965—1939)
爱尔兰诗人、剧作家

One that is ever kind said yesterday:
"Your well-beloved's hair has threads of grey,
And little shadows come about her eyes;
Time can but make it easier to be wise
Though now it seems impossible, and so
All that you need is patience."
Heart cries," No,"
I have not a crump of comfort, not a grain.
Time can but make her beauty over again:
Because of that great nobleness of hers.
The fire that stirs about her, when she stirs,
Burns but more clearly. O she had not these ways
When all the wild summer was in her gaze."
O heart! O heart! If she'd but turn her head,
You'd know the folly of being comforted.

一位好心人昨天对我说：
"你钟爱的人，她已长出丝丝的白发，
淡淡的暗影在她的眼睛周围蔓爬；
尽管现在似乎还不大可能，
可是时光会更容易让你变得聪明，所以
你需要的仅仅是耐心。
"不！”我的心喊道：
“我没有感到丝毫的安慰，时间只会使她的美变得更美！
因为她伟大而且高贵，她一动，
她周身的那团火，就会越发地燃势熊熊，
烧得更明亮。哦，她过去注视
夏日丽景时，还不曾有这种迷人的神情。”
心呵！心呵！只要她回一回头，
你便知道：人们的安慰是多么的徒劳。

不确定是不是出自这里了，
"all the wild summer was in her gaze"
单独成句似乎更有味道，Miriam留下这句话有什么特别意义呢？

Poem from I Can't Think Straight

2009-04-26T23:46:00.000+01:00

Every night I empty my heart, but by morning it's full again
Slow droplets of you sleep in through the night's soft caress
At dawn I overflow with thoughts of us
An aching pleasure that gives me no respite
Love cannot be contained
The neat packaging of desire splits asunder
Spilling crimson through my days
Long, languishing days that are now bruised tender with yearning
Spent searching for a fingerprint, a scent, a breath you left behind.

（Poem from I Can't Think Straight ）

翻译：Fannyspice(YDY-L主题电影）
Every night I empty my heart, but by morning it’s full again.
每晚我清空思绪，到清晨发现都是徒劳。
Slow droplets of you seep in through the night’s soft caress.
彻夜想起你轻柔的触碰，
At dawn, I overflow with thoughts of us,
黎明时分，关于我们的回忆充溢着我的心，
An aching pleasure that gives me no respite.
那种甜蜜的酸楚让我无法呼吸。
Love cannot be contained, the neat packaging of desire
爱情及其随之而来的欲望让人失控，
Splits asunder, spilling crimson through my days.
日子一天天过去，
Long, languishing days that are now bruised tender with yearning,
漫长无望备受煎熬的日子里，
Spent searching for a fingerprint, a scent, a breath you left behind.
我尽力找寻你留下的一个指印，一屡余香，一丝气息。

Tell Me (feat. Leonie Casanova)

2009-04-26T23:31:00.000+01:00

TELL ME

I'm just trying to keep my feet on the ground
Trying to stop the world spinning round
I can't speak
Cause I might say
What I know I can't betray
So tell me, tell me the way from here.
I heard you speak, I heard you cry
But nothing came, no reason why
Did you say
That you cared
Was it just a breath we shared?
Please tell me, tell me, tell me the way from here.

(Instrumental)

Don't tell me, tell me, don’t say what I want to hear.

(from the movie I Can’t Think Straight)

看Shamim的歌词，完全属于first love scene的情感宣泄
Tala放这首歌，明摆着的诱惑
于是原本听不懂的歌词已经在两人的第一次过后深刻的印在脑海中

一个开始

2009-04-25T16:02:00.001+01:00

为真实的自己写一些文字，而这些真实却并不能给所有人看到，包括我至亲的家人和朋友。很多时候为隐藏而悲哀，很多时候在无奈中沉默着……只是心情过了大抵消失无痕，那背后的经历却实实在在的影响着我今后的道路。不知道1年后，3年后，甚至10年后，我是否依然止步不前？

在电影中获得的快乐，因电影而结识的朋友，还有那些本来不可思议的事情，只要大家都喜欢着同样的东西和人，分享的心情让愉悦加倍增长了。ICTS和TWU带我进入了一个新的世界，迷恋Lisa，喜欢Sheetal, 喜欢Shamim的文字，只是种种巧合，让我想要写下些文字。于是在这里开垦土地。
