醫生之中，有不少朋友都喜愛這個musical《歌聲魅影》（The Phantom of the Opera）。 當女神出現的時候，男主角叫Andrew安德魯韋伯，女神是Sarah，莎拉布萊曼。最初，男主角已經擁有Sarah，他的前妻；而女神，也有另一半，也叫Andrew。 這樣的布局，已幾乎肯定有一番不得了的錯體愛恨纏綿。就這樣，男主角有如繆思附體，為這天使的聲音寫下一首又一首的歌曲，彷如為了這天使的降臨，度身訂做；也許這些音符，本身便是屬於女神的。 劇院吊燈跌下來的時候，不少人就此迷上《The Phantom of the Opera》。每個人都情不自禁地代入戲中：也許，我會是Sarah，那樣地受到所有人的憐愛，無論正派的Raoul，或是反派Phantom；我是那樣的天真無邪，等待我的真命天子來臨，把我全然奉上；他會是如此貼服地了解我，Think of Me把我的潛能發展出來。即使我任性背叛時，也絕不會把我傷害。 也許，我會是Phantom，在黑暗和缺陷的背後，擁有為人所不知的法力，讓人飛揚：最重要的是，即使我是如此醜陋，我仍擁有過受萬人愛慕的女神；我的自私和邪惡，是因為我的愛；也得到全世界的可憐。 《歌聲魅影》受人傳頌的故事，開啟了現實的世界觀眾想像之門，彌補了現實中的缺陷和不足。就算自卑的男人，也許會像Phantom一樣等待能有這一天，在生命中會出現這樣的Angel of Music。 撰文 : 侯鈞翔 欄名 : 膚識翔談 Source link
