好的片子,总能够让人心驰神往。每一句台词,每一段对话,甚至每一个表演的动作,都能够让你赞叹不已。片子中时常出现了不少经典的美文,尽显Norman作为芝加哥大学文学教授的功力。我尝试着听了其中的两段,通过Google搜索才发现是华兹华斯的诗歌:
Intimation of Immortality
by William Wordsworth
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, 60
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come 65
From God, who is our home:
...
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind; 185
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death, 190
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
...
Thanks to the human heart by which we live, 205
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

另外,Norman写给Jessie的信也极其出彩,配合着OST的神秘悠扬风格,让人赞叹不已!
Dear Jessie,
As the moon lingers a moment over the Bitterroots before its descent into the invisible, my mind is filled with song. I find I am humming softly, not to the music but something else, someplace else-a place remembered. A field of grass where no one seemed to have been, except the deer. And the memory is strengthened by the feeling of you, dancing in my awkward arms.

最后,当Maclean家痛失幼子Paul(Brad Pitt主演)之后,在老Maclean牧师作他最后一次布道时,影片再次运用充满文采的台词潜移默化地感染了观众的心:
We can love completely without complete understanding
Each one of us here today will, at one time in our lives, look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question. "We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything is needed?" For it is true we can seldom help those closest to us. Either we don't konw what part of ourselves to give, or-more oftern than not-the part we have to give is not wanted. And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them. We can love completely without complete understanding.
