新朋友 A New Friend

昨晚去了一個朋友的派對。平常我在社交場合總是沉默寡言,除非是想跟騷妹搭訕。但這並不表示我玩得不開心。我喜歡細細檢視觀察人們的身心機制如何運作。照片中這兩個傢伙很有趣。左邊那位是牛津大學來的物理學家,你從他的表情談吐就可以看出他的思考與一般人的波長截然不同。右邊那位是他朋友,是一位律師。

  我問這位物理學家,他看世界時是否會不自覺地把每件事物解析成細得不能再細的分子,直到看到最小的原子和空間為止?他放聲大笑,問我是做什麼的?我說我是拍片的。他問我看世界時,是否在腦中想著如何取景,如何剪輯每個場景?我說當然,無時無刻。我們就聊了這些。


Went to a friend's birthday party last night. Usually I have nothing to say at social events unless I'm trying to pick up sluts. But it doesn't mean I'm not having fun. I like inspecting and scrutinizing people's physiques and mental apparatus. These two guys were interesting. The one on the left is a physicist from Oxford, and you can just tell from his expression that his thought process is at a different wavelength. The one on the right is his friend who is a lawyer. 

I asked the physicist if he looks at the world and unconsciously breaks it down to finer and finer components until he gets to the atoms and empty spaces, he LOLed and asked me what I do. I said I make films and he asked me if I look at the world and think about how to frame for shots and edit scenes in my mind and I said yes, all the time. That's all we talked about.
