21 Gennaio

Sabato, I go to work in daytime. Whoever my pupils or me, we haven't any mood in tuition honestly because two days after is Lunar Year holiday.

When I done my work, I go back to home. Bath and have dinner, then go to join my drama friends. This is our secondo year to walk Lunar New Year Fair together, Victory Park, Causeway Bay. Same as the last year. We choose the late time to start our walk, but there is many people let us walk in difficulty. In that "people mountain people sea" place, we can't easy to buy anything. Just only walk in slowly, let my legs very tired.

In midnight, all of us decide to change another place. At last, one of my friends choose a play group room. We are 9 people total to play mahjong and eat late dinner. Oops! We are overnight together.

觀後感
這是一個述說別人忠於自己的一個故事。我不能深深體會故事主人翁那種複雜的內心,只因為我從來沒有對自己的性別產生任何矛盾;我亦沒有任何一個變性人的朋友,很難明白他們的心境,也許,他/她們的內心猶如那些同性戀的人。(這純粹是筆者個人觀點)

話說,是晚我這晚欣賞的稱作普通話場,只因故事的主人翁乃是新加坡人,普通話對白也不是甚麼問題。閱讀場刊,場刊內的歌曲表列出的歌曲,有粵語歌、有國語歌及英文歌,這也不是問題的,因為任何一個國家或者地方,都會有不同語言的歌曲播放。但令我感到奇怪的,原以為的普通話場是指全場的台詞以普通話說出,我也有心理準備聽以普通話講出的對白,不過開場沒多久,演員已經以廣東話演出,普通話的台詞,說真的,比想像中還少了一點點。

此劇稱不得上有甚麼舞台設計可言,幾件簡單的傢俱或者道具,已可以充當一個場景。劇內所揀選的歌也很有意思,導演特別以林憶蓮的「祇可活一次」作主題曲,這首歌是不是反影主人翁Abigail的寫照,我不敢妄語,然而,意思仍是一樣:「生存祇可得一次,要後退,要後悔不可以,盡全力,在這生,尋求自身意義,光陰裡記下我的詩。生存即使得一次,也願意,繼續試不管風雨,是成敗也好,誰能預知際遇,祇知用心活一次。」

Abigail 要讓人接納自己,並不是一件容易的事,在家人不接受,朋友的恥笑,Abigail 必須解決很多的問題,衝破很多關口,作出做變性人的決定。可是,這位變性人,不論是男兒身的時候,或是女兒身的時候,她的人生道路滿頗崎嶇,縱使這樣,她依然勇敢,樂觀地面對,確實是令人佩服,讓人感動。
