2. 為什么叫Mattachine family

沒在導(dǎo)演采訪中看到為什么叫這個名字，只能自己在電影里品品了。感覺2段旁白多少表達(dá)了電影名字的內(nèi)涵:

1) Thomas旁白，回憶老友們?nèi)绾蜗嘧R

I thought a lot about how we all find each other at exactly the right moment. How we complement each others' strength and weaknesses. In the 50s may be they would call us a society, shroulded in secrecy and in enuendo. But what we have isn't new, it's the oldest damn thing there is. Maybe someday there'll be a staircase named after us, and, the people who walk will know that once there was a group of people who call themselves a family.我常思索，我們遇見彼此是多么恰逢其時。我們?nèi)绾位パa(bǔ)彼此的長短。也許在 50 年代，他們會稱我們?yōu)橐粋€society，秘密而隱晦地存在著。但我們擁有的并不是什么新東西，而是最古老的東西。也許有一天，會有一個石階以我們的名字命名，走過的人會知道，曾經(jīng)有一群人，說他們幾個是一家人。

2) Thomas片尾給Oscar的郵件

Oscar, you've been on my mind all day. Your show came on earlier. I heard your voice. Reaching out across the years. And your face...hmm...so strange even after all of these to remember that you used to be something else, to me, before you were mine. Life can be so unexpected. I sometimes think that the last thought to ever cross a person's mind must be "Who would've known". I never expected to marry you, Oscar, but it happened. And it changed my life. It changed my life for the better. Because it led my here, to this moment, where I tell you that I've got a baby. A daughter. Daughter...hmm..I feel so bitter sweet to say that word. I know you'll have questions, and someday I will be ready to answer them. But, for now, just know that her name is Eve, Evie. Know that someday I will tell her all about this time. And the whole world fell apart, and somehow made something so beautiful and unexpected. I'll tell her what it meant to call you my husband, it happened to be true; what it meant to call myself her dad, it happened to be true. I'll try to explain to her the power in these words: so simple, ordinary, but fought for, fiercely. I'll try to explain all of these things. There is already a word, so perfect and simple, that encompasses all of these-FAMILY.

Oscar，我整天都在想你。 你的節(jié)目早些時候播出了。 我聽到了你的聲音，穿越了歲月。還有你的臉龐......感覺好奇怪，哪怕經(jīng)歷了這么多，想起你在屬于我之前，對我來說是另一個人。生活總是不可預(yù)測。有時我想，一個人腦海中最后閃過的念頭一定是 "誰會知道"。我從沒想過能跟你結(jié)婚，Oscar， 但我們結(jié)婚了。 這改變了我的生活。 讓我的生活變得更好。它引領(lǐng)我來到了這里，來到了此刻，能跟你說，我有了一個寶寶， 一個女兒……說出這個詞的時候我真的感覺百感交集。我知道你有很多問題，某一天，我會準(zhǔn)備好回答它們。但現(xiàn)在，你只需知道她叫伊芙。知道有一天我會告訴她這段時間發(fā)生的一切。整個世界分崩離析，卻無意間創(chuàng)造了如此美好又意想不到的驚喜。 我會告訴她，我叫你丈夫的意義，這意義是如此真切；我作為她爸爸的意義，同樣是如此真切。我會試著向她解釋這些詞的力量：如此簡單、平凡，但是用激烈的斗爭換來的。我會嘗試解釋這一切。有個詞，如此完美和簡單，涵蓋了所有這一切--"家人"。
