浪漫的老鼠

       看完这部电影，觉得电影中的事物隐藏着对现实社会的映射，尤其是现实社会中的分层。现实社会中存在着不同的阶层，大致上可以分为上流社会、中产阶级和底层社会，而在这部电影中则对应了三个不同的世界——人类世界（阳光下的世界）、老鼠的世界（能看见光线）以及耗子的世界（没有任何阳光，它们也害怕阳光），它们的位置也是从上往下的。
      人类世界——上流社会，电影中的人类世界是缺少汤的，国王的妻子因喝汤而死所以汤成了人类社会的禁品。大家都知道汤的味道丰富多样，缺少汤的生活是乏味的、枯燥的，也是没有色彩的、单调的，这从禁汤后公主的生活就可以知道，她除了整天的幻想外，就是整天的孤寂无聊。这似乎也是现实社会中上流贵族的生活，他们的生活总是被父母和更大的权力所束缚，他们从小就被禁止接触很多东西，因为那些东西被他们这个阶层认为是“肮脏的”、“下流的”。
     老鼠的世界（Mouse World）——中产阶级，它们生活在阴暗的房间里，这里有光线照入，但并不多；生活资源比人类要少得多，但却又比耗子要好上数倍。从电影中可以发现，老鼠的世界是最遵循法律与制度的，他们总是小心翼翼地按照一切既定的惯例行事，他们不敢挑战传统与规则，也害怕挑战传统与规则的“人”。这造成主人公的悲剧，他敢为一般的老鼠所不敢为——尝试捕鼠器；他不按老鼠世界的传统做事——他阅读了书籍而不是啃了它们；而当他挑战了老鼠们耐于生存的传统信念——不与人类接触时，他受到了老鼠世界的残酷处罚。他被老鼠们逐出了这个世界，并被流放到了社会的底层——耗子的世界。
      耗子的世界（Rat World）——底层社会，这是一个“肮脏的”、“没有阳光”、“被垃圾埋葬的世界”。这里是贫民窟，耗子们都是一贫如洗，他们什么都没有，他们生存所需的大部分东西都是上流社会和中产阶级在享受过后抛弃和浪费的。结合电影的开头可以知道，他们目前的处境都是上流社会造成的，因为上流社会认为它们是肮脏的、非法的，所以它们受到排斥，被驱逐到了世界上最黑暗、最边缘的地方。因为接触不到阳光，所以它们憎恶和害怕阳光；因为受到上流社会的不公平对待和中产阶级的歧视，所以它们仇视并试图报复上流社会和中产阶级。
        电影中叛逆的小老鼠打破了这种阶层之间的界限，并让阳光照进了各个阶层的“人”的心里。在现实社会中这阳光象征了能被整个社会所接受的价值观，也许只有惟有这种共有的东西才能打破各个不同社会间的隔阂。
       
          

Narrator: [voiceover] I could say they lived happily ever after, but what's the fun in that?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a brave, little mouse who loved honor and justice and always told the truth.
[Camera zooms in and we see a rat named Roscuro]
Narrator: No, that's not him. That's a rat. And anyone who knows anything, knows there is a big difference between a mouse and a rat. First of all, rats hate the light.
[Roscuro climbs on a barrel and looks at the sun]
Narrator: They spend their lives in the darkness. Also terrify the people which is why they're slinking and cover all the time.
[Roscuro goes to near of a sailor]
Narrator: And as far as telling the truth as concerned, well, that is impossible, because as everyone knows a rat can't talk.
[Roscuro starts to talk]
Roscuro: Tell me that thing again, please.
Pietro: Come on!
Roscuro: Tell me one more time and I won't ask you ever again, I swear.
Pietro: Fine. We are headed to Dor, one of the most magical places in the whole world.
Roscuro: No, that's not what you said before. You know, every place has something special and in Dor, it's "the soup".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: If you know anything about fairy tales, then you know that a hero doesn't appear until the world really needs one.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: Of course, destiny is a funny thing. We go out to meet it and we don't always know that we are.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: When your heart breaks it can grow back crooked. It grows back twisted and gnarled and hard.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: The story said she was a prisoner but that wasn't totally true because she had hope and whenever you have hope, you're never really anybody's prisoner.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: So sometimes it doesn't take much for your dreams to come true, you just have to be able to see it that way

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Princess Pea: What are you, a mouse?
Despereaux: No... I'm a gentleman.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: In fact, you can have a good heart and not even know it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: Ok, remember when we said that grief was the strongest thing a person could feel? Well, it isn't. It's forgiveness because a single act of forgiveness can change everything.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Princess Pea: Do you think there's a bit of light somewhere in the world? I think there is you just need to know where to find it.

“I am so so sorry……”
最后，每个角色都在说这句话。
绅士的大灰鼠、美丽的公主、忧伤的国王、送走女儿的狱卒……
这是个关于伤害的故事，虽然长的很可爱的小老鼠德佩罗在其中占了很大部分的戏份。
我们或许都曾经无意识的伤害过谁，并因此而造成一连串不可估量的连锁反应。
就此，阳光不再逗留，天空布满阴霾，尘土漫天，心灵枯竭。
直到那一颗希望的火种点燃，直到那个被称为英雄的角色出现。
我并不想对德佩罗多说什么。
关于这只命中注定就不平凡的漂亮的小老鼠，上天给予他很多眷顾。
究竟是时事造就英雄，还是英雄造就时事，这些我都不想多考虑。
我更关心的，是那只绅士的大灰鼠。
他无意闯下的大祸，他内心承受的煎熬，他的痛苦和悲伤，以及诚信道歉却再次被深深伤害，还有关键时刻的宽恕。
"I am so sorry."
他对获救的公主说，一贯的深沉充满磁性的声音，饱含着深深的内疚和得到谅解的渴望。
那一刻我几乎落下泪来。
作为灰鼠却和肮脏黑暗的灰鼠世界格格不入，热爱阳光充满热情却不被人类谅解，在漫长的时光中忍受内心的痛苦折磨，只能对着石头房子里那一丝灰蒙蒙的光线痴痴的渴望。
这只灰鼠内心的寂寞，又有谁真正知道？
伤害与被伤害，在流浪的灰鼠身上，体现了太多。
说句对不起，很简单的字，真正从口而出，竟会多难？
谁都知道。
敢说对不起，这才是真正的勇气。
