开头和结尾，起点和终点，与火共舞

在电影开头是这样描绘的：

“So I‘m always caught in that dichotomy.

Is the ouurney the most thrilling part of it,

Or is it, I say end result,

I don't think you ever get to an end result.

You get to a result as close as you can get,

in the time that you need to get it.

And I think if you have a lot of curiosity

You kind of never feel like you've completed any journey

Because you're always changing trains.

It's a conundrum.

I thought about leon as a moth

That was attracted to the flame that causes the moth to burn its own wings off.”

（我总是被人生的两级困扰，到底是过程最有意思，还是所谓的终点。我觉得人永远达不到终点。你只是花费一点时间，达到一个尽可能终极的目标。我觉得你如果有一定的好奇心，就永远不会觉得你彻底完成了一段旅程，因为你总是在改变路线，然后不知不觉中，走向另一个目的地。这真是难题。在我看来利昂就像一只蛾子，飞蛾扑火，被火焰所吸引而烧掉自己翅膀的蛾子。）

不难看出，导演把Leon比作了飞蛾，那团火就是Stanley了吧。就这样开启了介绍Leon Vitali 和 他眼中的Stanley Kubrick。

在电影的最后，虚焦到对了上焦，就像模糊的人生一下明了起来：

“If you look back on your life when you were a child,

and you had aspirations and you had ambitions,

But they never really worked out the way you thought they would.

So there's a lot that can make you extremely frustrated and extremely mad

But at the same time it's kind of exhilarating

In many ways, it doesn't really matter if things work out exactly the way you wanted them to,

or they didn't .

The most important thing is the Journey.

Because the experiences can be so rich, and so valuable to you.”

（如果你回顾自己的童年，儿时的自己有各种愿景和梦想，但那些梦想并没有照你设想的样子去实现。你确实有理由感到非常沮丧或是生气。但同时这也非常令人振奋，因为从很多角度来说，人生没有照你设想去展开，这并不重要，哪怕跟你想的完全不一样。最重要的是旅程，因为一路走来的精力是那么丰富那么宝贵。）

所以，一个人投其所好，与火共舞，是多么的令人羡慕的事情。
