1. the Mattachine Steps (開(kāi)頭32分鐘 片尾收到社工領(lǐng)養消息時(shí)出現)

地址: 2348 Cove Ave, Silver Lake, CA

簡(jiǎn)介: 位于Silver Lake的一段陡峭的石階，上爬共有 163 級臺階，登上步道最高處能看到遠處的好萊塢標志（Hollywood Sign）。馬塔欽協(xié)會(huì )（Mattachine society）由Harry Hay于 1950 年創(chuàng )建，是美國最早成立的同志權利組織之一，當時(shí)他就住在石階旁邊的房子里。

2. 為什么叫Mattachine family

沒(méi)在導演采訪(fǎng)中看到為什么叫這個(gè)名字，只能自己在電影里品品了。感覺(jué)2段旁白多少表達了電影名字的內涵:

1) Thomas旁白，回憶老友們如何相識

I thought a lot about how we all find each other at exactly the right moment. How we complement each others' strength and weaknesses. In the 50s may be they would call us a society, shroulded in secrecy and in enuendo. But what we have isn't new, it's the oldest damn thing there is. Maybe someday there'll be a staircase named after us, and, the people who walk will know that once there was a group of people who call themselves a family.我常思索，我們遇見(jiàn)彼此是多么恰逢其時(shí)。我們如何互補彼此的長(cháng)短。也許在 50 年代，他們會(huì )稱(chēng)我們?yōu)橐粋€(gè)society，秘密而隱晦地存在著(zhù)。但我們擁有的并不是什么新東西，而是最古老的東西。也許有一天，會(huì )有一個(gè)石階以我們的名字命名，走過(guò)的人會(huì )知道，曾經(jīng)有一群人，說(shuō)他們幾個(gè)是一家人。

2) Thomas片尾給Oscar的郵件

Oscar, you've been on my mind all day. Your show came on earlier. I heard your voice. Reaching out across the years. And your face...hmm...so strange even after all of these to remember that you used to be something else, to me, before you were mine. Life can be so unexpected. I sometimes think that the last thought to ever cross a person's mind must be "Who would've known". I never expected to marry you, Oscar, but it happened. And it changed my life. It changed my life for the better. Because it led my here, to this moment, where I tell you that I've got a baby. A daughter. Daughter...hmm..I feel so bitter sweet to say that word. I know you'll have questions, and someday I will be ready to answer them. But, for now, just know that her name is Eve, Evie. Know that someday I will tell her all about this time. And the whole world fell apart, and somehow made something so beautiful and unexpected. I'll tell her what it meant to call you my husband, it happened to be true; what it meant to call myself her dad, it happened to be true. I'll try to explain to her the power in these words: so simple, ordinary, but fought for, fiercely. I'll try to explain all of these things. There is already a word, so perfect and simple, that encompasses all of these-FAMILY.

Oscar，我整天都在想你。 你的節目早些時(shí)候播出了。 我聽(tīng)到了你的聲音，穿越了歲月。還有你的臉龐......感覺(jué)好奇怪，哪怕經(jīng)歷了這么多，想起你在屬于我之前，對我來(lái)說(shuō)是另一個(gè)人。生活總是不可預測。有時(shí)我想，一個(gè)人腦海中最后閃過(guò)的念頭一定是 "誰(shuí)會(huì )知道"。我從沒(méi)想過(guò)能跟你結婚，Oscar， 但我們結婚了。 這改變了我的生活。 讓我的生活變得更好。它引領(lǐng)我來(lái)到了這里，來(lái)到了此刻，能跟你說(shuō)，我有了一個(gè)寶寶， 一個(gè)女兒……說(shuō)出這個(gè)詞的時(shí)候我真的感覺(jué)百感交集。我知道你有很多問(wèn)題，某一天，我會(huì )準備好回答它們。但現在，你只需知道她叫伊芙。知道有一天我會(huì )告訴她這段時(shí)間發(fā)生的一切。整個(gè)世界分崩離析，卻無(wú)意間創(chuàng )造了如此美好又意想不到的驚喜。 我會(huì )告訴她，我叫你丈夫的意義，這意義是如此真切；我作為她爸爸的意義，同樣是如此真切。我會(huì )試著(zhù)向她解釋這些詞的力量：如此簡(jiǎn)單、平凡，但是用激烈的斗爭換來(lái)的。我會(huì )嘗試解釋這一切。有個(gè)詞，如此完美和簡(jiǎn)單，涵蓋了所有這一切--"家人"。
