致命呼叫 第一季

　　What could be more natural than romance, finding the perfect partner and falling in love? In fact every ingredient in this scenario, so beloved of romantics everywhere, had to be invented. In this three-part series Lucy Worsley will delve into the history of romance to uncover the forces shaping our very British happily ever after. The series will reveal how even our most intimate thoughts and feelings have been affected by social, political and cultural ideas.

　　The film accompanies Magaye Niyang, a star of Touki-Bouki, a 1972 classic directed by her own uncle Djibril Diop. Following this path, we are witness of Niyang travel to a special screening of the film, which has a public release in his old town. Niyang seems detached and with a heavy longing from the past, and therefore, the film debris permeates everything with unescapable sorrow and fascination.
　　Diop film is, first and foremost, a nostalgic travel through memory, time and recreation. It is also a watermark in contemporary experimental documentary, a very intimate portrait of a lost long journey through the past that isn’t returning anymore, a detachment of rejected fame, recognition and connection which is heavily grounded on a legacy that belongs to the past, and that connects directly to a country (Senegal) and its heritage, which is sometimes feel excruciating for the old ones (a testimony such as the taxi scene in the film, where the cab driver longs for changes, and claims that the old generation had done nothing for that).
　　Mille Soleils (A Thousand Suns) and, in itself, Mati Diop’s crucial talent, should be a point of reference into what could easily be one of the most interesting proposals of hybrid documentary cinema which has come from France, and which deals with a strong African heritage. Since 35 Rhums, where she proved her actress talent, Diop seems like a true promise for the following years of cinema.

　　中国有一句古话：“执子之手，与子偕老”。
　　树锋和味芳，这是一对生活在上海的耄耋老人，是导演赵青和制片人冯都的叔公和叔婆。他们年轻的时候就相识，因为树锋的上一段婚姻，味芳在不经意间等了他十几年，人到中年两人才在一起。当他们携手走到了生命的最后一段岁月，味芳却患上了阿尔茨海默症。
　　树锋和味芳都出生在上世纪20年代，树锋从小深受儒家文化的影响，讲究“仁、义、礼、智”。在树锋的记忆中，最美好的时光是童年和青少年时期：同堂生活、吟诗颂词、研习书法……之后的命运却是他无法主宰：政治运动、工作调动、丧妻别女……直到1970年，他和味芳走到一起。
　　将近半个世纪的相伴相守，对树锋和味芳来说，爱是记忆，爱是缘分，但爱也意味着良心、道义和责任。在他们心里，无论对方年轻还是年老，明白亦或糊涂，都不可能磨砺掉内心深处的那份爱，因为爱已经变得淡然纯粹、深入骨髓。
　　如今没有子女在身边照应的他们，必须独自面对生活中所有的事情。而在经历了一生的波澜之后，树锋和味芳他们那种平静、乐观却又不乏尊严的生活态度，深深地感染着我们。
　　这是一个关于记忆，关于爱，关于尊严的故事。于是在2012年，我们姐妹俩开始拍摄记录这段叔公叔婆的旅程，希望能为他们、为我的家族，为更多的人留存下这段不该被遗忘的时光。影片的拍摄从2012年一直持续到了2014年。味芳的病情越来越严重，她逐渐变得生活不能自理，不记得说过的话，做过的事，不认识周围所有的亲戚朋友，只认识她的老伴儿树锋，信任他，依赖他，爱恋他！
　　对年近九旬的树锋来说，面对生老病死，面对自己爱人，他必须要做出抉择：将味芳一个人送进阿尔茨海默病的专门护理机构，他于心不忍；两个人一起住进养老院，就意味着要放弃还算是自得其乐的生活；继续独自在家照料味芳，他已深感力不从心。这种选择令树锋几度辗转……万一他生病了，味芳该怎么办？万一他先走了，味芳又该如何生活下去？两位老人的生活状态在这两年多的时间里发生了很大的变化，他们是否依然能有尊严的走到最后？
　　中国目前患有阿尔茨海默症的人数达到了900多万，位列世界第一。人们对阿尔茨海默症的认识不够，医疗保障和社会福利资源短缺，专业的护理机构和护理人员严重缺乏，使得患病老人和他们家属的生活质量受到了很大的影响。另一方面，中国的独生子女政策和大规模的人口迁移，也使得社会、家庭对留守老人的关爱严重缺失……想要在情感上、精神上得到更多的慰藉，成为许多中国老人奢侈的念想！
　　生命尽头，记忆消逝，但树锋和味芳他们依然有享受生活，精彩人生的权力。总有一天，我们也会老去......希望通过这部影片的传递，能有更多的人和我们一起努力，让老人们能够拥有一个真正快乐而有尊严的晚年！
