很不错的喜剧片,男主角是演sense and sensibility的那个英国人,演得相当相当不错,滑稽且不失体面。第二场婚礼的憨豆同学实在很逗,想来那个时候也正是他风头正劲的时候哈,只是很少看到在文字发声这方面搞笑的Mr. Bean。一首小诗是在大胡子老头葬礼上的,写得很不错。
Funeral Blues
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
–W.H. Auden (1907-1973)
