偶像剧看多了的人很可能会产生一种幻觉,觉得自己很另类,举手投足间哪哪儿都跟别人不一样。而且还会有一点强迫症,认为自己如果不能像某个主人公那样活着就一点都没必要活着了。电影《余生的第一天》却把我们这些让爹妈不省心的熊孩子们自认为的与众不同一笔带过,不动声色,像一本流水帐。看吧,大家都是这么过来的,除了给家里人带来麻烦,给社会带来不安定因素,就没什么值得一提的了。好也好不过初吻、热恋和性高潮,坏也坏不过分手、出走和寻短见,没什么创意。
反倒是片中父亲角色深深的触动了我,他像极了两千公里以外我的父亲。我们的父辈,当他们还是个少年的时候就被一顿棍棒赶出家门,任你背扛肩挑或是耍滑头使诈,你得开始养家了!当他们遍尝世间苦楚,把儿女拉扯成人,准备享清福的时光,却发现这帮小王八蛋根本就长不大,肩膀软的像块豆沙糕,什么都扛不住。他们善良、隐忍、充满智慧,他们是男人,而我们像一群没用的娘娘腔。那句老话怎么说的,“上有老,下有小”,80后,90后,00后们真没资格说这句话。
回到电影,片中父亲与儿子讨论谁是最牛逼的吉他手那段情节让我充满向往,我激动的跟龟桑说:“20年后我可能也会对儿子说,扔掉你手里的狗屎,听听Lynyrd Skynyrd的Free Bird吧,琴都快被他弹化了。”龟桑说:“你不是不打算有孩子么?”我说:“是啊,可现在看来值得一试。”
这不是什么海枯石烂的爱情故事,也不是什么生离死别的催泪武器,这是家庭生活,它戴着阴阳脸面具,一手拿着棒棒糖面带微笑,一手拿着匕首面露凶残。

忘了是不是推荐过这首父与子,如果有能力,跟着音乐感受一下这些歌词。
It's not time to make a change
Just relax--take it easy
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To become when you've found
Something going on
But take your time--think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not...
How can I try to explain?
When I do--it turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go...
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down
and take it slowly
You're still young--that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me--I am old
But I'm happy
All the times, that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard
But it's harder to ignore it
If they were right--I'd agree
But it's them--they know
Not me. Now there's a way, and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to go.
