Les Misérables , Star, Javert

           在回家的路上,重聽Les Miserables (孤星淚)的歌。期間,Javert的《Star》在我耳中迴響,萬般感觸。

          Javert 是警察官,代表著所謂的正義、司法,絕對忠於自己的角色,但基於現實的衝擊,這為他走上自殺之路埋下重要的伏線。他一次又一次想把逃脫了的Jean Valjean捉拿歸案,但卻多次失敗;最終更面對的是:情與理的衝擊 -- 即Jean 在一個有利的環境下(可把他殺死)把他放走,具備「情」(因Jean的心腸);最後,他也在無奈的情況下,看著Jean 帶著Marius離開。他的內心受盡各種的掙扎,並想到:自己一直以來所堅持的理念實非絕對的硬道理,並體現到司法制度上的不完備,以及人情的存在。故 此,他難以接受情感與現實的衝擊,遂掉了自己的紀錄本,再跳水壩而亡。

      看完之後,可能你會想:人不能永遠持守著一個觀點,即執著;而且,凡事也得要變通,沒有「絕對的硬道理」或模式,正所謂人們講的因時而變。又或者,我們會明白到理想與現實是兩個截然不同的世界,你可能會想:做人別這麼天真與執著。

     但說句老實話,倒也欣賞他的個性,雖然他可算是執著得自尋死路,但正正因著這種執著與熱血,才能體現到他強烈的個性。有時,人不正是需要執著才能成事?成為 一種推動的路向,尤其是一個忠於自己角色的人,真是非常可貴。有時,我也認為自是需要更多的執著,堅信著自己要做的事。如果,這個世界的人,全都是那些瞻 前顧後,人人也是擇善固執,更懂得趨利避害;那麼,整個世界不就是很死板?

以下是《STAR》的歌詞:

There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from god
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face

He knows his way in the dark
Mine is the way of the Lord
And those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward
And if they fall
As Lucifer fell
The flame
The sword!

Stars
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night

You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!

And so it has been and so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price!

Lord let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
Till then
This I swear
This I swear by the stars!
