攻其不備 The Blind Side 2009
電影改編自真人真事的小說
全美美式足球明星Michael Oher 自小父母離異，母親吸毒，只好流落街頭。
他的ㄧ生可能就和成千上萬住在貧民窟的黑人小孩一樣，前途黯淡，甚至早死於街頭火拼中。
深具愛心的Touhy family 收養了他，一個幸福和樂的白人家庭，
以無私的關愛，給予驚恐不安，羞澀又不善表達的孩子無比的信心與支持。
他的成長與蛻變在一篇閱讀心得報告中表現無遺，甚而感動不給同情分數，一再當他的老師給予通過了!
The Charge Of The Light Brigade 輕騎兵衝鋒
Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) 丁尼生 英國桂冠詩人
這首詩是在紀念英國輕騎兵在克里米亞戰爭期間的英勇事蹟。
1854年10月25日，英國指揮官下錯指令，命令六百餘名輕騎兵穿越峽谷向Balaclava 的俄國砲兵陣地正面衝鋒。明知生還機會渺茫，這些英國輕騎兵仍毅然向俄軍陣地衝鋒，死傷慘重，等到真的通過山谷與俄軍交鋒時，已經陣亡200多名士兵了...
事後。長官受到重罰，但是由於詩人的歌頌軍魂精神，英國輕騎兵的聲望大大提升。
Michael 對於勇氣提出質疑，因為匹夫之勇是愚蠢的，但是爲了榮耀(honor)，希望擁有無畏的勇氣，甚至祈禱下命令的長官也具有榮耀與勇氣，這是詩人給予六百騎兵的禮敬，也是Michael肯定自己所做的決定，身為美式足球隊員信任教練，冀求勇氣與爭取榮耀的寫照!
The Charge of the Light Brigade
Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred:
Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Forward, the Light Brigade!
Was there a man dismay d ?
Not tho the soldier knew
Some one had blunder d:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die,
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley d and thunder d;
Storm d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
Flash d all their sabres bare,
Flash d as they turn d in air
Sabring the gunners there,
Charging an army while
All the world wonder d:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reel d from the sabre-stroke,
Shatter d and sunder d.
Then they rode back, but not
Not the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Volley d and thunder d;
Storm d at with shot and shell,
While horse and hero fell,
They that had fought so well
Came thro the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.
When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wonder d.
Honour the charge they made!
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!
Michael 的心得:
Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or mistake, but you re not supposed to question adults, or your coach or your teacher, because they make the rules. Maybe they know best, but maybe they don t. It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn t at least one of the six hundred guys think about giving up, and joining with the other side? I mean, valley of death that s pretty salty stuff. That s why courage it s tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you re doing something. I mean any fool can have courage. But honor, that s the real reason for you either do something or you don t. It s who you are and maybe who you want to be. If you die trying for something important, then you have both honor and courage, and that s pretty good. I think that s what the writer was saying, that you should hope for courage and try for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some, too. |
