The Perks of Being a Wallflower/壁花少年
《壁花少年》(又译“壁花之巅”,The Perks of Being a Wallflower)
改编自《吉屋出租》编剧史蒂夫·奇波斯基(Steve Chbosky)在1999年推出的同名小说。
曾获亚马逊书店编辑年度推荐好书首奖、亚马逊书店青少年畅销榜第一名,
被视为新世代的版本的《麦田捕手》,但它一方面被某些学校选为必读好书,
另方面却又被某些保守的学校归为禁书。如今由小说作者史蒂夫奇波斯基亲自执导搬上大荧幕,
更受广大读者期待。小说中的主人公是一位名叫“查理”的中学生,
就读于宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡市郊的一所高中。在学校,查理是一名天真可爱、性格有些内向的外来者。
在成长过程中,他不得不应对与女友的关系、最好的朋友自杀以及自己身患精神疾病等棘手问题。
小说通过查理写给陌生人的一封封书信,剖析了青春期男孩在性、毒品和生命价值等方面的困,
并涉及同性恋话题,曾被美国图书协会列入少儿不宜书籍名单。
虽然有幽默和伤感的时刻,但这是个充满忧愁的故事:
温柔的吻,笨拙的舞蹈,
渐行渐远的朋友,亲切的英语教师,
暗恋和嗑药派对……
总有一种挥之不去的似曾相识的感觉。

【Heroes】 - David Bowie 『穿过隧道最终被Sam找到的那首 』
I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing will
Drive them away
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
And you
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
And that is a fact
Yes we're lovers
And that is that
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
For ever and ever
What d'you say
I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes
Just for one day
I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day
I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing
And nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day
