For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV) *Discover …It’s a word that perfectly encompasses a world teeming with possibilities. Discover is a toddler’s amazement as she watches a bunny hop across the lawn for the first time … and it’s a young adult meeting that special someone.Discover is grasping an understanding of science—or art—in school … or in one’s advancing years.Discover is being able to see things from a different perspective, even if you don’t necessarily agree.Discover is finding hope that something better is coming despite what the current circumstances would indicate.At the start of MOST, we discover a forlorn man walking and talking … and hoping:“Maybe I’ll discover something. Something new.”Normally in a movie, we learn the back-story of the characters—what has brought them to the point at which we meet them. In MOST, we are immediately taken into the life of this man and his young son.As they’re walking through the train depot, we see Lada, the son, making eye contact with everyone they pass.Each person he sees has a story. While we only get a brief glimpse into each one, Lada seems to make a deep connection every time with his eyes.For us, our deepest gaze is into Lada’s life with his father. While their life is sparse on material items, it is overflowing with love. Their interaction draws us to them, leaving us wanting to know more about how they have arrived where they are.Set and filmed in Eastern Europe, MOST is the Czech word for bridge, fitting since the father is a bridge keeper—the man that lifts the bridge to allow boats through and closes the bridge to allow trains to pass.The job is a boy’s dream and on this day, Lada convinces his father to let him come to work. The setting is picturesque: a boy fishing on the river while his father works nearby. But their idyllic day ends abruptly as the boy discovers the train is ahead of schedule; he hears the train’s horn and sees its smoke coming closer. His father, however, he cannot find.The son knows he must do something, so he attempts to rescue the train—filled with people oblivious to their impending doom.When he fails in his valiant effort, his father must make the most haunting of decisions—does he save his son, or forsake Lada for the people on the train?In one heartbreakingly agonizing moment, his choice is sealed.For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV) *Jesus is often referred to as the bridge between God and us.Our sins have created a chasm that keeps us from God. The Bible shows us that the only way to bridge that eternal gap is through Christ’s sacrificial atonement on our behalf. God must choose between mankind and His only begotten Son.Without the ugliness of Good Friday, Easter is just another Sunday. Without the father’s sacrifice, the troubled girl on the train has her life end as it was lived—without purpose. Instead, we later see her in the city at the movie’s end, joyfully celebrating the life she has brought into the world … and her ownlife that now has meaning.It’s a discovery that allows Lada’s father to continue pressing forward with the hope that can only come from Christ, the ultimate bridge.STUDY QUESTIONS（本人觉得不管你是不是基督教徒，这些问题都是值得思考的）What was your first thought when you saw the train coming toward the open bridge?We meet a number of characters in passing in this movie. Beyond Lada and his father, whose story most intrigues you? Why?One thing nearly all of the periphery characters in the movie have in common is that they are oblivious to what is going on around them. The troubled girl is more concerned about feeding herhabits than about her sister’s anguish over her condition. The college students are thinking only about having a good time. Brad from America is only focused on his broken heart.Read Colossians 3:12-17Why is it so difficult for us to turn our attention away from ourselves and onto the needs of others?“… Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience”(Colossians 3:12). Does this come naturally for you? If so, give a couple of examples of ways this verse shines through in your life. If not, do you work diligently to do so?What do you think our world would look like if Christ-followers made a commitment to live as Colossians 3:12 calls us to live?John 3:16 is at the heart of MOST. Yet when we see Lada reach for the lever that would bring the bridge down, we also see vividly that 1 John 3:16 is equally important in the telling of this movingparable.Read 1 John 3:16-18What does the Bible say the definition of love is in these verses?While most of us will not literally be called to lay our lives down for another, we are still called to live sacrificial lives that serve others. What is an example in your life that you feel illustrates you living sacrificially?We see both the father and son finding joy in the seemingly mundane—on the job, drinking coffeeand tea, bedtime, fishing. After Lada’s death, the father is, as expected, dejected and downcast.Read 1 Peter 1:3-9Does God promise those that follow him an easy path?Soon after Peter states that Christ-followers will face trials, he says that those who believe in him “are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy” (verse 8). Why do we often lose our joy when things go bad? What can you learn from these verses to help you better live joyfully?What is the most challenging trial you have faced? How did you make it through?For some of us, it’s difficult to understand why God would require that his Son die as a sacrifice for the world. “… For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).Read Romans 3:21-26If you are a believer, how does this passage impact your daily walk with Christ?If you are not a follower of Christ’s, how does this passage challenge your thinking?Having had some time to reflect, what are your feelings about MOST? What will you take away from having seen it?

一直以为大千世界，别人的事与我何干。

当父亲在自己儿子的生命和火车上所有人的生命之间必须做出选择的时候，他做出了最艰难的选择。

眼看着失去儿子，那种无力感悲痛绝望。

火车上怀着各自心事的人们，又怎么会知道，“为了你们，我杀死了自己的孩子”。

突然觉得，不幸的人应该很想让别人知道自己的不幸，告诉别人你们已经很幸运。

红帽子女人看到了，最后重新振作。

于是桥连接着生命，通往另一个世界……死去的，重生的，人们所追寻的……还记得你曾经与陌生人或小婴孩不经意的对视和微笑吗？

人与人之间的感情不一定需要什么理由才被关联。

这世界上有那么多的不幸正在发生，在安全距离以外的，谁真正关心。

我们看到别人的不幸，即使不能为别人做什么，至少把自己的人生活得更有价值。

坚强点，少点无病呻吟，多点人情味。

这个只有30分钟的短片，从温情到绝悲到重生，过度地一点也不突兀，穿插许多人情味小片段，结尾惊喜，极温情。

没哭，微笑着看完。

可爱的拉多和父亲过着清贫但是快乐的日子，父亲是桥梁的守桥人。

他们一起讲笑话，一起回家，一起喝茶，一起睡觉。

生活美好快乐，幸福满足。

在市里的车站，他们看到了一辆即将开启的火车，拉多伏在父亲肩上，看着车站中正在分离的军人和情侣，带着儿子出行的母亲，戴着红帽子借火的女孩，她朝着拉多微笑，拉下帽子做了鬼脸，还看到了分离的父子，共同出行的朋友，上车之前分手的恋人还有吵架之后和好的情侣……这些是这对父子生命中遇到的许许多多的路人之中的一群，却也成了最特别的一群。

回家之后，上床睡觉时，拉多提出想要和父亲去守桥，父亲答应了。

第二天两人开心地去了父亲上班的地方。

工作之前，父亲向拉多交代，这座桥梁通船之后半个小时会来一趟列车，因此父亲会去控制室，控制吊桥让桥下的船和桥上的车可以顺利通过，让拉多在河边等父亲半个小时就好。

拉多答应了父亲，自己在河边钓鱼，父亲在控制室的窗口也时刻关注着河边的儿子。

过了一会儿，父亲接到电话，有船只通过，需要将桥吊起，父亲开始了工作，吊起了桥让船通过，然后离开了窗口一会儿。

可是此时桥上的列车却提前到来，父亲没有看到，站在桥下的拉多注意到了火车头冒出的白烟，大声呼喊控制室的父亲，却没有得到回应。

于是拉多自己跑到了桥梁连接处，打算手动拉闸放下吊桥。

而这时父亲也注意了火车的提前到来，到了窗口处却看不到原本在河边玩耍的拉多，往桥上一看，只看到了拉多半个身子掉进了桥梁中间。

父亲顿时失去了控制，却不能离开控制室，在拉闸放桥和救儿子之间不断挣扎徘徊，这可能是他生命中最让人崩溃的时刻，最后，他还是放下了闸，放弃了儿子的生命，让整个列车安全通过了。

这辆火车是前一天拉多和父亲在车站看到的那一趟，列车上的人依然在进行着自己的活动，失恋的人悲伤着，离别的人忧郁着……一起出游的学生欢声笑语，离开恋人的军人独自沉默，亲吻的情侣，看报的先生，沉思的女士……没有人知道有一个孩子为了他们失去了自己生命，有一位父亲失去了生命中最重要的人。

父亲放下桥闸后冲出了控制室，向依然前行着的列车无力地嘶喊哭泣，没有人听到，也没有人注意。

这时，正在列车卫生间准备注射毒品的红帽女孩，加热毒品的瞬间，抬头看了一眼窗外，正好看到了悲伤的父亲在窗外哭喊，虽然不知道他为何悲伤，女孩注射的动作停止了，回头看了一眼手里的毒品，扔在了地上，望着窗外发呆。

列车开走后，父亲带着拉多小小的身体，走在长长的轨道上，终于无法走下去，哭泣着跪倒在铁轨上，怀中是小小的冰冷的拉多。

列车上的红帽女孩也下了车，走在雪花飞舞的铁轨上，与之前在车上虚无的表情不同，现在的她看起来对生活充满了希望。

父亲失去了儿子，而看到了悲伤父亲的红帽女孩却得到了救赎，重新生活。

多年以后，两人又在车站相遇，红帽女孩已经成为了一个母亲，抱着自己可爱的儿子朝着父亲的方向走来，她认出了那个声嘶力竭哭喊的父亲，和自己可爱的儿子送给了他一个微笑，然后转身走向了人群，小儿子却伏在母亲肩上，依然微笑看着这个父亲，就像拉多当初伏在父亲肩上看着车站的路人一样。

父亲释怀了，笑容逐渐展开，向天空伸出了双臂。

30分钟的电影，却是一个悲伤又温暖的故事。

生命中有太多意外，拉多为了列车上的人献出了自己小小的生命，父亲失去了儿子，却在无意中救赎了一个走在生活边缘的女孩，而多年之后，开始好好生活的红帽女孩和自己的儿子，又再次救赎了这个孤独的父亲。

生命与生命之间有一座桥梁，它们通过不同的方式传递着，有时候你甚至感觉不到，它发生在全然不同的人身上。

我们用一生来追寻一些答案。

比如爱，比如活着，比如奉献，比如失去。

火车站，总是人生百态尽在其中，有人欢笑，有人不舍，有人幸福，有人失意，有人坚定，有人迷惘，有人欣喜，有人惆怅，有人喧嚣，有人孤独。

影片中的这父亲生活也并不那么如意，但却因为布拉多这个孩子，而充满了希望洋溢着幸福。

然而生活却总是出其不意，幸福被打乱得如此让人措手不及。

上一刻孩子的笑靥还在眼前，下一秒却只能触到他没有温度的娇小身体。

为了帮助父亲拉动开关，孩子掉入机器内，而父亲为了整列火车的安全，最终没能顾全孩子的安危。

在扳下开关的那一刻，父亲一定宁愿在底下的是自己吧。

当全部的幸福被夺走，他却还是只能眼睁睁看火车走过，只能在车外抱头痛哭，那样绝望的看着车上毫不知情的人们继续用各自的方式消耗他作为交换的幸福。

和红帽姑娘视线相交的那一刻，是想哭诉和咆哮的吧？

好在，好在，这位父亲的失去至少也改变了一个人。

红帽姑娘原本虚耗颓废的人生，因为这一眼绝望和心碎而被震动，改变了她原本的人生航向。

结尾处，再次在茫茫人海中的一瞥，寻找着答案的沧桑的曾经的一位父亲，抱着baby已为人母有了新的人生的曾经的红帽姑娘，终于给了这场心碎者流泪无关者无谓的悲剧一个焕发希望的答案。

一定有些改变的吧，当我付出了全部的幸福，失去了活着的希望。

没有人知道这部基督教电影吗？

里面的小孩就是耶稣，父亲是天父（上帝），而火车里的人就是我们——生活在这个世界上的所有人，里面吸毒的女人代表信耶稣而悔改的人。

我们所有人都是罪人，都在人生的火车上按自己的意愿做着自己的事情，无论这些事情对错与否，却不知道耶稣为我们的罪死在了十字架上，用宝血洗净了我们的罪，拯救了我们所有人，只要信他并悔改的，就会获得新的生命，并得永生，就像电影里戒毒的女人

对待生命的态度是怎样的？

当父亲为了救一火车人而亲手杀死自己的儿子。

火车上的人却全然不知道自己刚刚经历一场生死劫难，依旧如往常一样，接着吻，聊着天或者吸着毒。

看到车窗外被痛苦扭曲了面容的父亲，一脸茫然，也许还以为看到了一个歇斯底里的疯子。

淡定从容的音乐，深邃迷人的捷克街道，丛林，美女，蒸汽火车。

意识中的欧洲便是从这些深沉探讨的主题中得来。

……

一瞬间的人生，孰轻孰重，还在天使般的面庞，父亲深邃的眼神和说不出滋味的笑。

短短的电影成了长长的人生缩影。

一念之间，大爱无言。

而只有自己内心知道所承受之重。

原来父子相依为命的幸福生活成了一个人颠沛于另一个城市的剪影。

心中那份伤，还是自己体会。

而最终时过境迁，温暖存于心底。

获得自己心灵上的救赎，放下回忆的报复，温存与内心最深处。

父与子，无言的爱。

长镜头在影片中作用较大的有四处。

一为开头以小孩视角进行拍摄的长镜头，它表现了火车站的百态人生。

二为父亲与拉多在森林中游走的长镜头。

这一段本应是十分快乐的，但是因其色调清冷而罩上了几分悲伤的意味，从而为接下来悲剧的发生埋下伏笔。

三为父亲抱着拉多的遗体在火车轨道上行走的长镜头。

镜头慢移，随着父亲走远，悲伤的配乐消失，父亲的悲鸣声也渐渐淡出，继化为无。

穿过树林，便到了生命的尽头。

生命如此残忍，我们束手无策。

人生，没有意义。

人类，如此愚昧。

我们活着，又是为了什么？

世界的背后隐藏着什么，我们又何曾知道？

没有死过的生命，又有什么资格，来评论世界背后的一切。

黄泉路上的死亡之花，迎接一个又一个的灵魂。

机器生硬的声音，开启了Lodo的死亡之路。

桥，可以塑造生命，也可以让生命走向天堂和地狱。

或许，这就是桥让人潸然泪下的原因，这座桥欺骗了我廉价的泪腺，愚蠢的人类还在欢笑，他们手中的那些无聊的事，就在一瞬间，覆盖了一颗纯洁的心灵，一曲生命之歌。

无血的死亡，无声的消逝，寂静充斥着死亡的瞬间，或许Lodo正在通往天堂的路上嬉戏或哭泣……Lodo的生命，随着火车渐行渐远……热巧克力还是热的，而Lodo的生命却已经冰凉，永久的冰冷。

为Lodo，再哭一次、不远处的桥，在哭泣、、

短片有一种冰冷的流畅，美到极致的钢琴曲和一首《玫瑰人生》，也只能把一种生死的感受从温馨的感受中渐渐推到浓墨重彩的极致。

所有的亮点在于结尾。

铁轨却依旧在那里，承载着人世在火车上来来去去。

又亦或是生命本与铁轨类似，总无限地伸向远方，寂寞而坚韧。

最后，当年的红帽少女已为人母，伤痛渐渐淡忘的父亲望见了她的孩子，一如几年前自己的儿子调皮地微笑。

你知道，这就是生命的纽带。

不断。

延续。

像铁轨，像桥。
