Over the Rainbow。

"The path of flood. Only in the leap from the lion’s head will he prove his worth."
Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

今天在家裡研究Data Mining的presentation,想著想著腦海裡忽然閃過《聖戰奇兵》電影裡的橋段。在電影的最後,Indy必須跳躍過一個看似不可能的斷壁;根據他老爸留給他的手冊,他要跳過去來證明自己的價值。這畢竟是電影,Indy成功的度過這個考驗,找到聖杯也救了老爸。

當然啦,我們是不知道千年前的基督教是不是已經發明了強化玻璃這玩意;畢竟玻璃的歷史雖然很長,平面玻璃應該還是德國在十一世紀的事。電影不用交代這些細節,它只告訴你一件事情,相信這些傳說,你就能證明自己的價值。

 

每次談戀愛,我都以為自己找到彩虹橋的秘密,踩在雲端的虹橋間興奮地拾級而上,到了中點便將順坡而下,在彩虹橋盡處找到埋在其間的黃金。踏著Indy遲遲而期待的步伐,走上虹橋的我往往最終失去了信仰而從天際重重摔下。

 

相信,是一件非常為難的事情。

 


 

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can’t I?
Some day I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?
