Bis ans Ende der Welt

Until the End of the World" is a movie that has never gotten the recognition that it deserves. Occurring in 1999, when the Indian nuclear satellite has gone out of control (and no one knows where it's going to land), the movie focuses on Frenchwoman Claire Tourneur (Solveig Dommartin) following American Sam Farber (William Hurt) all over the world. Sam has a most ingenious device that enables his blind mother (Jeanne Moreau) to see, and some other people are trying to get their hands on it.

I simply can't do justice to the movie by trying to describe it. You have to see it to believe it. For the soundtrack, director Wim Wenders went to several singers and had them write the songs that they were going to write at the end of the millennium. The result was beyond incredible. Few movies have ever reached this movie's greatness.

I wonder what ever became of Solveig Dommartin1999年世纪末，一颗印度的核子卫星即将坠地，地球上一片恐慌，视之为世界末日的到临。住在巴黎的女子克蕾儿（Solveig Dommartin饰）在一次离开男友尤金（Sam Neill饰）的浪游中，认识疑为工业间谍的崔佛（William Hurt饰），并且深深为之着迷。一次车祸意外中，克蕾儿认识二名抢匪，受托运送大批赃款，克蕾儿开始出发去寻找迷一样的人物崔佛。他们的足迹遍布四大洲：从尼斯、巴黎、柏林、里斯本、莫斯科、北京、东京、追逐到旧金山、雪梨，最后到达澳洲中部荒芜的库柏培地原住民生活区。过程中，克蕾儿终于知道崔佛的本名是山姆法柏。他不是工业间谍，而是一位科学家的儿子。许多私家侦探追逐他的原因是老法柏（Max von Sydow饰）制造了一个可以让盲人看见的摄影机。为的是要让山姆目盲的母亲（Jeanne Moreau饰）可以看见她的亲人。就在一群人汇集澳洲峡谷的时候，核子卫星被美国打下，核磁波干扰了所的电器设备，一切都恢复原始的状态。外头的世界不知是生是死？这群人在地下实验室里开始了一连串超越人类科技的实验，数字摄影转换成脑波、再转换成影像的实验成功，终于让山姆的母亲看见家人，不久终因体力不胜负荷而去世。临死前，他母亲说：「看不见反而更好，这世界竟变得如此丑陋。」温德斯的微言大义，在此作了深刻的呈现。之后，包括老法柏、山姆和克蕾儿都陷入对梦境的痴迷中。他们把梦境转成视觉，让人可以读梦（老法柏一直想因此获得诺贝尔奖），山姆和父亲的冲突矛盾、克蕾儿对童年之梦的偏执，像一层层的牢笼，将他们紧紧网住。使每一个人都陷入偏执的迷失当中。只有陈述此事件的尤金是清醒的。他知道世界并没有毁灭（只是时受核磁脉冲影响），只是这群人陷在不可自拔的梦境追寻中。于是一切如尤里西斯的漫游逐都有了反映与解答。
