李祐寧 LI You-ning│臺灣 Taiwan│1986│DCP│Colour│94 min

 

★1986 第23屆金馬獎最佳改編劇本

 

電影始於背對鏡頭的新人結婚誓詞,接著溫馨家庭照搭配演職員表,正片開始,映入眼簾的卻是「離婚協議書」。陳義昌原為小公司老闆,因生意失利,四處遭債主追討。太太許明珠提出離婚,而養尊處優的七歲兒子強強,開始跟著成日買醉的陳義昌過起混亂生活。直到強強生了一場大病,他這才恍然徹悟自己的失職,洗心革面後,開始求職、育兒。正當父子關係漸趨融洽,卻來了一張法院傳票,感情已不可分割的父子將如何面對考驗?

 

父子倆搬到新家時,一起從二樓窗戶往外看,強強讚嘆「好大一條船」,象徵生活重啟的新鮮美好,「窗」讓強強望向繁榮世界,同時也是等待父親的框。本片有氣質脫俗的蘇明明與林秀玲,也有來討錢,但看到小胖孩只有泡麵吃,還反塞錢的小戽斗,以及還未在電影《熱愛魚》中罵著經典台詞「愛你去死啦愛!」之前,就已凶狠有勁的文英阿姨。八○年代的旗津渡船、旗山香蕉與高雄港,父子關係從酒醉混沌到清醒面對,像一再被翻唱的本片主題曲〈張三的歌〉──「忘掉痛苦忘掉那地方…這世界還是一片的光亮」。

 

★1985 Best Adapted Screenplay, Golden Horse Awards

 

The film starts with the wedding vows and comes to the picture of a lovely family. However, it then shows up in the divorce agreement. The husband is under pressure from the creditors for his business failure. His wife cannot stand the situation and files for divorce. Their 7-year-old son, who used to have an ostentatious lifestyle, begins a chaotic life with his drunken father. It wasn’t until his son gets seriously sick that the father finally realizes his misbehavior. As the father changes the way treating his son, their relationship gradually gets better. How will the father and son face the challenge from the court that may separate them?

 

When the father and son move to the new place, they enjoy the window view together. Through this window, which symbolizes bright new days, the son observes the prosperous world and waits for his father to return home. The film includes elegant actresses SU Ming-ming and LIN Hsiu-ling. It also involves SIAO Hu-dou as a comedic creditor and Auntie Wun-ying showing the domineering characteristic before her iconic figure in Tropical Fish (1995). The set of the film shows scenery around the Port of Kaohsiung in the 1980s. It is a growing journey for the father and son as the theme music Song of Chang-san suggests the world is still full of grace.
