這兩天打開電視，首先映入眼簾的國際新聞，除了伊波拉病毒的蔓延外，就是喜劇巨星
羅賓威廉斯 （Robin Williams）猝死的訊息。目前暫定的死因為窒息自殺，這馬上讓我聯想到不久前中天主播
史哲維 的惡訊。
兩位在螢光幕前都給人正面、積極、樂觀的氛圍，沒人懷疑他倆背後均藏有憂鬱症的歷史。再者，兩位都採窒息式的自殺手法，可見死意堅決。但與其花過多時間追究死因，我想回憶羅賓威廉斯活著時，帶給我的體驗。
記得1990年初到美國讀書時，HBO正播著以慈善為目的的喜劇系列——Comic Relief。威廉斯是固定班底，發覺這位好像得了過動症的演員真是礙眼，整個舞台跳上跳下，嘴巴還可動個不停。
當時搭配主持的
比利克里斯托 （Billy Crystal）與
琥碧戈柏 （Whoopi Goldberg），兩位的喜感較為收斂，尤其是克里斯托，他喜好走冷淡的嘲諷路線。來自東方國土的我，當時還是比較吃這味。
但尚未熟悉
金凱瑞 的1990年代初期，威廉斯的過動喜感，著實讓觀眾感到不安。不久後在錄影帶店中，突然看到一位長得很像威廉斯的演員，被一群學生高舉著的電影海報，這部片名為“Dead Poets Society”，台灣翻為
《春風化雨》 。
很多人將這部電影與金凱瑞的
《楚門世界》 做對比，當人們以為兩位過動的喜劇泰斗，無法轉型成認真的演員時，於是就用這兩部證明觀眾目光過於短淺。人內心之豐富，很難被外在標籤界定。
威廉斯一反好動的個性，在《春風化雨》將自己化為一位挑戰保守體制的英文老師。但他的挑戰不具對抗性，也不是個好鬥的麻煩製造者，而是如美國哲人
愛默生（Emerson）所云：
「若想成為自己，必須作個不妥協之人」那類灑脫感。
這部戲的背景是在一所專門培育國家棟樑的寄宿學校，威廉斯帶領這群高中生在保守、傳統的私校中，進行思想解放。其中一段最令我回味的橋段是，威廉斯要學生將英文課本中，衡量詩句價值的測量表給整頁撕下。
他怒斥詩詞是文人在宇宙運行的偶然結晶，怎可用X與Y軸定位價值，好似在測食物酸鹼值一般？威廉斯索性要全班學生將課本的前文整段撕下。他隨即拱一位最沒自信的學生上台，囑咐其朗誦一段屬於自己的詩。
但這位學生根本不認為自己的字句能登大堂，表情扭捏、不時語塞。於是威廉斯摀住學生眼睛，用暴力脅迫的語言挑釁他，這位學生進入緊張不安狀。威廉斯高喊著：「就是當下！不要思考、不要猶豫，將腦海中浮出的景象，豪不修飾的全數吐出！」
這位學生在高壓的情境下，不自主的突破防衛意識，當下織繪出赤裸又真實的詩句。威廉斯見狀立即蹲下雙手抱住身軀，感動的說：「不要忘記這片刻。」就是這片刻，是現代人持續遺忘的段落。呱呱墜地後，社會就教導著幼小心靈要聽話、要遵從、要追流行。但淡忘內心深處最赤裸的吶喊，忘了內在宇宙最缺點綴的直覺。
電影
《心靈訪客》 也呼應著，劇中知名作家教導黑人學生書寫的奧妙在於，不能靠腦筋寫，那是後來的事；首先，先用心將字打在紙上，之後再用大腦修飾成能溝通的語句。
其中原因就好比米開朗基羅的領悟，他說自己在雕刻大衛像時，雛型早在石頭中浮現。這塊大石原本就已是鉅作，它只是邀請雕匠將不必要的部位去除，大衛立即浮現。
《春風化雨》還有一橋段，為了展示學生天生具來的特性，威廉斯將其等引領至操場中，告知每個人都有個獨一無二的行走方式，軍隊式的行進能讓社會整齊劃一，但那不是真實的你。
那什麼才是真實的行進方式呢？如果要問，就已錯過。戲中許多學生起初左右張晃，不確定自己是否「走對」。隨後極盡能事的搞怪，為了不同而不同的亂走，除了一位學生，他聲稱要行使「不走的自由」！
威廉斯的《春風化雨》，是在告別人世的當下，唯一讓我能回憶完整內容的電影。雖然劇情的角色與這位喜劇泰斗的公眾自我南轅北轍，但在更深處卻是威廉斯喜劇表演的結晶。
不盲從、不修飾、不壓抑的三不政策，將一位福特員工之子帶入國際巨星之列；當大家都緊張著下一個流行樣板為何時，威廉斯始終不脫離他那個專屬的「死樣子」，就算別人不認同，那也是他們的損失。
畢竟，每個人生在這世上，不是要演別人喜歡的角色。否則這舞台，就會少了一位羅賓威廉斯。至於他是否憂鬱、酗酒、吸毒都已不重要。巨星的誕生，不在隕落前的剎那，而在耀眼的瞬間。

Robin Williams died - do not forget askew dead Virtue

Turn on the TV these days, the first thing that catches the eye of international news, in addition to the spread of the Ebola virus, is that comedy superstar Robin Williams (Robin Williams) sudden death message. Currently tentative died because of suffocation suicide, which immediately made me think of the recent transit anchor Shizhe Wei evil hearing.
The two in front of a major television all seem positive, positive, optimistic atmosphere, no doubt They were in possession of the history behind the depression. Furthermore, the two have taken suffocating suicide tactics, seen dead Italian firm. But instead of spending too much time to pursue the cause of death, I would like to recall Robin Williams alive and bring my experience.
I remember early in 1990 to the United States when he was studying, HBO are sowing the charitable purposes of the comedy series --Comic Relief. Williams is a fixed team, seemed to find the actor had overactive really an eyesore, the stage jumping up and down, his mouth is also moving on.
Hosted by Billy Crystal was with (Billy Crystal) and Hu 碧戈柏 (Whoopi Goldberg), two of the more convergence delight, especially Kristol, he likes to go cold sarcasm route. I come from the land of the east, was still relatively eat this flavor.
But not yet familiar with Jim Carrey in the early 1990s, Williams hyperactive sense of joy, really let the audience feel uneasy. Shortly after the video store, and suddenly saw a Williams looked like an actor, was holding a poster of a group of students, this title is "Dead Poets Society", Taiwan's turn as "Dead Poets Society."
A lot of people will this movie with Jim Carrey's "The Truman Show World" do comparison, when people think of two hyperactive comedy dean, unable to transition into a serious actor, so they use both eyes of the audience proved too short-sighted. The heart of a rich man, is difficult to define the external label.
Williams, an anti-restless personality, in "Dead Poets Society" will be a challenge to keep their system into the English teacher. But his challenge is not a confrontational, nor is it a combative troublemaker, but as cloud American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson (Emerson): "If you want to become your own, you must be a person without compromise," the kind of feeling free and easy .
The play's background is in a specially bred pillars of the nation's boarding school, Williams led the group of high school students in a conservative, traditional private schools in ideological emancipation. One of the sections I was most memorable plot yes, Williams English textbooks to students, and to measure the value of the measuring table verse to tear the whole page.
He angrily literati poetry is crystallized in the universe accidentally run, how the available X and Y axis positioning value, like food in the measured pH general? Williams simply want the whole class to earlier textbooks entire tear. He then did the arch one of the most confident student office, asked to recite some of their own poetry.
But the students did not think their words Noto lobby, expression tweaking, speechless from time to time. So Williams covered her eyes of students, the language of provocation with violent coercion, he shaped the students into nervous. Williams shouted: "! That moment do not think, do not hesitate to mind floats scene, Howard is not fully modified spit!"
The students at high pressure situations, involuntary break defensive awareness, draw naked and true moment weave verses. Williams rushed immediately squat hands clinging to the body, moved to say: "Do not forget this moment." Is this moment, is a modern continuous forgotten paragraphs. After birth, the society teaches the young minds to be obedient, to follow, to chase popular. But forget the naked heart cry, forget the inherent universe sorely lacking embellishment intuition.
Movie "Mind Visitor" also echoes the play known writers teach black students writing mysteries that can not rely on their brains to write something that is later; First, a word play first intentions on paper, then after brain modified to be able to communicate statements.
One reason is like Michelangelo in mind, when he said he carved the statue of David, early prototype surfaced in stone. This is a giant boulder had been, it's just invite carved Carpenter will remove the unnecessary parts, David emerge immediately.
"Dead Poets Society" as well as a plot, in order to demonstrate to students born with characteristics such as Williams to lead to the playground, telling everyone has a unique way of walking, military-style uniform traveled allow society, but not the real you.
So what is the real travel method? If you want to ask, had missed. Many students initially play around Zhang Huang, uncertain whether they "go on." Funny then his best, in order to vary the random walk, in addition to a student, he claims to exercise "freedom do not go!"
Williams' "Dead Poets Society", is to leave this world at the moment, the only thing I can recall the complete contents of the movie. Although the role of the plot and the comedy dean of public self poles apart, but in the deeper it is the crystallization of Williams comedy.
Do not follow blindly, without modification, not repressed three no policy to bring a child Ford employees of international superstar column; When everyone is nervous the next time a popular model for why Williams never out of his exclusive "dead look "even if others do not agree, that is their loss.
After all, every life in this world, not to play someone like role. Otherwise this stage, will be less of a Robin Williams. As to whether his melancholy, alcoholism, drug addiction are unimportant. Born superstar, not a moment before the fall, and in dazzling moments.
