灯塔爵士酒吧是在小比赛中寄托爵士乐梦想的地方

几十年来，很少看哪部电影，印象如此深刻。

这种感受的强度，让我自己都觉得诧异。

它深入内心和骨髓，甚至觉得胸口隐隐作痛，能让我沉浸在荒凉壮阔的心境中，持久，不散。

原本以为,《爱乐之城》只是导演大玩色彩游戏和百老汇歌舞桥段的热闹歌舞片，于是就傻傻看着男女主在有路灯的洛杉矶夜景下调情打趣。

然而，随着剧情开展，我的情绪开始戏剧化转变。

在Mia那次关键的试镜时，当“The Fools Who Dream”的曲调响起，我被她娓娓道来的故事吸引，被带入她所营造的气氛，陷入沉思、感动，内心有不明物开始涌动、共鸣。

当她唱着：

Here's to the ones who dream.

Foolish as they may seem.

Here's to the hearts that ache.

Here's to the mess we make.

我的眼角，开始滴泪。

Mia有梦想，小赛有梦想，并且都在严酷现实中坚持。而我，已经忘记曾经梦想的模样。

我知道它曾经存在，却不知何时灰飞烟灭？或许，它一直在那里，不然我为什么总有现实世界以外的坚持？

是曾想成为画家的梦想？还是想创作出激励人心的作品？或是希望游走世界各地？或是……

反正我已经想不起，最初梦想的模样。

然而，某部电影、某本书、某个人、某件事，隐约还能让我回忆起梦想的碎片，让我感受到，它依然深埋在，某个布满尘埃的地方。

我发现自己还能跟同样追梦的人们，心灵相通。被他们的某句话，所打动。

年龄的数字越来越大，我仍然处在Mia在咖啡店打工，不停努力参加试镜的阶段，而梦想的样子，早已模糊。

Mia穿着在打工的咖啡店里被人泼脏的白衬衫

想起有天接孩子放学，当他看到走廊里贴着“少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲”时就问我：“为什么是老大伤悲呢？” 我说：“这里的老大，是说人长大的意思。年轻时没有好好努力，年纪大了就只能伤心了。”

这说的，难道不是现在的自己？

可我分明还是能感觉到，内心梦想的微弱星光，默默让我一直前行、追寻。

尽管现实生活，已经把脚下的道路踩得泥泞，我还是怀着一颗被洗礼历练过的心，向前。

我不知道终点在何方，或许在路上的经历，才是我来人世走一趟的最大收获？

"The Fools Who Dream"

(performed by Emma Stone)

My aunt used to live in Paris.

I remember, she used to come home and tell us these stories about being abroad and I remember she told us that she jumped into the river once, barefoot.

She smiled…

Leapt, without looking

And tumbled into the Seine

The water was freezing

She spent a month sneezing

But said she would do it again

Here's to the ones who dream

Foolish as they may seem

Here's to the hearts that ache

Here's to the mess we make

She captured a feeling

Sky with no ceiling

The sunset inside a frame

She lived in her liquor

And died with a flicker

I'll always remember the flame

Here's to the ones who dream

Foolish as they may seem

Here's to the hearts that ache

Here's to the mess we make

She told me:

"A bit of madness is key

To give us new colors to see

Who knows where it will lead us?

And that's why they need us"

So bring on the rebels

The ripples from pebbles

The painters, and poets, and plays

And here's to the fools who dream

Crazy as they may seem

Here's to the hearts that break

Here's to the mess we make

I trace it all back to then

Her, and the snow, and the Seine

Smiling through it

She said she'd do it again.

“Another Day of Sun”

影片开场，在洛杉矶拥堵的高速公路上的一段歌舞，充满了青春活力，以及加州阳光般灿烂的情绪，不论受到多少挫折，太阳都会照常升起。

And when they let you down

You'll get up off the ground

'Cause morning rolls around

And it's another day of sun

“Someone in the Crowd”

3位室友鼓励Mia参加一个派对，认为说不定就能碰到让她们成名的人，4位年轻女孩的裙子凑齐了红、黄、蓝、绿色，也许导演是想用天真的纯色表现她们天真的梦想？

Someone in the crowd could be the one you need to know

The someone who could lift you off the ground

Someone in the crowd could take you where you wanna go

Someone in the crowd could make you

Someone in the crowd could take you

Flying off the ground

If you're the someone ready to be found.

“A Lovely Night”

这是Mia和小赛参加完派对后，在山坡上的一段歌舞。欣赏着洛杉矶美景，小赛却说Mia不是他的菜，两人不来电，浪费了美好的夜色。Mia也不甘示弱，两人边跳舞边打情骂俏，很是有趣。

This could never be

You're not the type for me

[Mia:]

Really?

[Sebastian:]

And there's not a spark in sight

What a waste of a lovely night

“City of Stars”

这首算是Mia和小赛爱的告白曲，也是一直贯穿全片的主旋律。从之前两人斗嘴互不相让，到彼此相爱，是因为他们发现对方都和自己一样有着想追寻的梦想，开始互相理解，产生了共鸣。

[Sebastian:]

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

There's so much that I can't see

Who knows?

I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you

[Mia:]

That now our dreams

They've finally come true

City of stars

Just one thing everybody wants

There in the bars

And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants

It's love

Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else

[Sebastian:]

A rush

[Mia:]

A glance

[Sebatian:]

A touch

[Mia:]

A dance

[Both:]

A look in somebody's eyes

To light up the skies

To open the world and send it reeling

A voice that says, I'll be here

And you'll be alright

I don't care if I know

Just where I will go

'Cause all that I need is this crazy feeling

A rat-tat-tat on my heart

[Sebastian:]

Think I want it to stay

City of stars

Are you shining just for me?

City of stars

[Mia:]

You never shined so brightly.
