"I want to be loved." " That is not the same as loving"

ストーリー・オブ・マイライフ／わたしの若草物語 (字幕版)

アマゾンで１３日までというので観てみたが・・・面白いね。

シナリオがうまい。構成、展開が巧み。

LITTLE WOMEN

Written by

Greta Gerwig

MR. DASHWOOD

We’ll look at it. Tell her to make it short and spicy. And if the main

character’s a girl make sure she’s married by the end. (casually)

Or dead, either way

女性キャラは最後に結婚するか死なないとだめだ、と。 

AMY

I’ve always known that I would marry rich. Why should I be ashamed

of that?

LAURIE

There is nothing to be ashamed of, as long as you love him.

AMY

Well, I believe we have some power over who we love, it isn’t　something that just happens to a person.

LAURIE

I think the poets might disagree.

AMY

Well. I’m not a poet, I’m just a woman. And as a woman I have no way

to make money, not enough to earn a living and support my family

AMY 

Even if I had my own money, which I don’t, it would belong to my　husband the minute we were married. If we had children they would belong to him not me. They would be his property. So don’t sit there and tell me that marriage isn’t an economic proposition, because it is. It may not be for you but it most certainly is for me.

結婚は経済的なもので、女は意思で誰を愛せるか決められるのよ、と。

映画のなかでは後に部分的にどんでん返しがある。

MARMEE 

Do you love him?

JO

If he asked me again, I think I would say yes... Do you think he’ll

ask me again?

MARMEE

But do you love him?

JO

(tearing up)

I know that I care more to be loved. I want to be loved.

MARMEE

That is not the same as loving

愛されたい、ということと愛しているってのはちがうのよ、と。

JO

Who will be interested in a story of domestic struggles and joys? It doesn’t have any

real importance. 

AMY

Maybe we don’t see those things as important because people don’t

write about them.

JO

No, writing doesn’t confer importance, it reflects it.

AMY

I’m not sure. Perhaps writing will make them more important.

JO

(looking at her, amused)

When did you become so wise?

日常のてんやわんやなんて誰も価値があると思っていない。でも、書くことによってその価値がみえてくるんだ、と。
