昨天晚上知道Robert Altman去世的消息，错愕，吃惊，然后很想哭。
这个可爱的老头子，我一个月之前还见过他。
他曾经那么的近，忽然去了世界的那一头。
那是A Prairie Home Companion 的一个小型Q&A，我逃课过去，把看过的电影重温一遍。
问答的场地不大，人却挤的满满的。他的夫人也跟着他去了现场，坐在后面，他还不忘说：THANK YOU MY LOVE。
他当时看起来精神不错，和剧作家Garrison Keillor一直互相挖苦，开着玩笑。
他们轻松的说着整个合作的过程，他坦率和幽默的言辞让在场的人都大笑不已。
A Prairie Home Companion 成为他最后一部作品，整部电影都在讲述衰老和死亡，新的生命代替旧的事物。
他一直被病痛折磨着，去世的时候享年81岁。
这是这个世界的规律，我们都明白，却见不得发生在所爱的人的身上。
不说了。难过。
引用NEW YORK TIMES：Robert Altman, one of the most adventurous and influential American directors of the late 20th century, a filmmaker whose iconoclastic career spanned more than five decades but whose stamp was felt most forcefully in one, the 1970s, died Monday in Los Angeles. He was 81.

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you we
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
