Movie-- CashBack/ 超市夜未眠
IMDb & 開演電影
IMDb:
Memorable Quote of The Movie:
Ben Willis: I've always wanted to be a painter, maybe have my work hung in a gallery one day.
Sharon Pintey: I've always wanted to meet a painter.
Ben Willis: Why?
Sharon Pintey: I think it might have something to do with their ability to see beauty in everything.
It looks like my type~
hope it would not disappoint me~ ;-)
CH-BLOG:
把《Cashback》製成長片似乎是導演Sean Ellis原本就擬定好的計畫，入圍2006奧斯卡最佳短片則讓它看起來更來勢洶洶、信心十足。
故事描述美術系學生 Ben 失戀後患上失眠，為了消磨時間於是開始在賣場裡值大夜班，他和他各形各色的同事們除了要對抗討人厭的老闆之外，每個人對於如何應付八個小時的漫長夜班也各有一套方法。大家都想把時間過的快一點，但Ben卻選擇把時間暫停，仔細捕捉每一個人的美。時間靜止了，而他開始行動了。
一點古怪、一點詼諧加上獨特風格，是短片抓住觀眾眼睛的不二法門。《Cashback》首要驚人的便是：大量的女性裸體。不過導演透過美術系男生審視女體的角度相當具有美感，晶瑩剔透到每個人都像是櫥窗裡的人型模特兒了，而據說，本片並沒有使用特效，你一定會驚訝於時間靜止的那幾幕，使人有種彷彿在海底漫步的飄浮感.

Movie-- London Boulevard/ 倫敦大道
"London Boulevard" is the story of a man newly released
from prison who falls in love with a reclusive young movie star
and finds himself in a duel with a vicious gangster.
當一位剛出獄、不被社會接受的黑道男子，
愛上家喻戶曉的大明星，這段多舛的戀情，
會受到祝福嗎？還是將無可避免推向悲劇的那一端呢？
Somehow, there is only one Chinese trailer of this movie on youtube,
and the trailer dose not have Chinese subtitle..... what a frreak Chinese trailer!?
In fact, I do not understand the last portion of this movie:
Why Jorden kills himself? 'Cause Mitchel was killed?
By the way, Mitchel seems that has the personality to make people like him,
his sister wants to earn his care,
Charlotte falls in love with him at first sight,
Jorden...... the gangster......
everyone wants and likes him~

anyway, if you like classic music and like Tchaikovsky's violin concert, go and enjoy it :))

Movie-- Pope Joan/聖袍天下：驚世女教皇 (2009)
IMDb
"A 9th century woman of English extraction (英國血統) born in the German city of Ingelheim disguises (偽裝, 裝扮) herself as a man and rises through the Vaticanv (梵諦岡) ranks (an official position)."
Amazon
"One of the most controversial (爭論的) women of history is brought to brilliant life in Donn Woolfolk Cross's (小說作者) tale of Pope Joan, a girl whose origins (出身) should have kept her in squalid (髒的) domesticity ((家庭)生活). Instead, through her intelligence, indomitability (不屈不饒) and courage, she ascended (登上) to the throne of (寶座) Rome as Pope John Anglicus.
The time is 814, the place is Ingelheim, a Frankland village. It is the harshest winter in living memory when Joan is born to an English father and a Saxon mother. Her father is a canon (教士), filled with holy zeal (狂熱, 熱誠) and capable of unconscionable cruelty (指 會做出一些極度(讓人無法理解的)殘忍/酷行為). His piety (虔誠) does not extend to his family members, especially the females. His wife, Gudrun, is a young beauty to whom he was attracted beyond his will--and he hates her for showing him his weakness. Gudrun teaches Joan about her gods, and is repeatedly punished for it by the canon. Joan grows to young womanhood with the combined knowledge of the warlike Saxon gods and the teachings of the Church as her heritage (命運, 天命). Both realities inform her life forever.
When her brother John, not a scholarly type, is sent away to school, Joan, who was supposed to be the one sent to school, runs away and joins him in Dorstadt, at Villaris, the home of Gerold, who is central to Joan's story. She falls in love with Gerold and their lives interesect repeatedly even through her Papacy(當教皇的時期). She is looked upon (被(信徒們)仰望; 想像他剛被宣布為教宗, 登基時, 站在台上受眾人敬拜的場面) by all who (Gerold) know that she is a woman as a "lusus naturae(Latin)," a freak of nature. "She was... male in intellect, female in body, she fit in nowhere; it was as if she belonged to a third amorphous sex." Cross (苦難) makes the case over and over again that the status (身分, 地位) of women in the Dark Ages was little better than cattle(牲口). They were judged inferior in every way, and necessary evils in the bargain.
After John (Joan的二哥) is killed in a Viking (維京人的) attack, Joan sees her opportunity to escape the fate of all her gender (性別). She cuts her hair, dons (put on) her dead brother's clothes and goes into the world as a young boy. Gerold is away from Villaris at the time of the attack and comes home to find his home in ruins, his family killed and Joan among (In the company of) the missing. After the attack, Joan goes to a Benedictine monastery (男修道院// convent 女子修道院), is accepted as a young man of great learning, and eventually makes her way to Rome."

"一千一百多年前，羅馬天主教會一位女扮男裝、懷孕生子的教皇懸案，浮上檯面…，本片改編自唐娜伍佛柯羅思全球暢銷小說，以驚心動魄的影像，呈現一段融合性別與宗教的波盪。
西元814年的歐洲中古時代，當時女性飽受社會的歧視與種種限制。約漢娜（喬漢娜沃卡萊克 飾）是一位擁有英格蘭血統的女子，她誕生於一個德國平凡的家庭。從小，她在教士父親重男輕女的觀念下長大，但，憑著過人的才智、膽識，約漢娜女扮男裝，頂替早逝的哥哥進入修道院。
雖然冒著被揭發的危險，但約漢娜還是以卓越醫術獲得教皇的信任。至此，她深知自己身負重任，更毅然放棄兒女情長和女性身分，決定永遠在眾人面前當一個男性。
一連串的政治、權力鬥爭，女扮男裝的她，都一一衝破難關，終而登上教廷的最高位階。然而，成為萬眾景仰教皇的她，卻仍難抵擋真愛的呼喚—，未來的教皇之路，又會萌生什麼變數呢…?"

"In a penitentiary, four prisoners occupy a cell: Carrère, who used his company to commit a fraud and was betrayed by his wife; the drag Marcus and his protégée, the retarded Paquerette, who ate his six months sister; and the intellectual, Lassalle who killed his wife. One night, Carrère finds an ancient journal hidden in a hole in the wall of the cell. They realize that the book was written by Danvers in the beginning of the last century and is about black magic. They decide to read and use its content to escape from the prison, when they find the truth about Danvers' fate."

"聖歌劇情簡介：簡介：一名商人在被判入獄後在獄中悟出原來是他妻子陷害了他，奪走了他的公司、財產以及兒子。主人公所在的牢房內另有三人：一名易性癖的青年男子，一名什麼東西都要喫的弱智年輕男子以及一名具有紳士風度的老年男子。某日，主人公在自己的床靠著的牆壁裡發現了一本古舊的書本，居然是二十世紀二十年代的一位魔法師的日記，上面記載了他發現的種種黑魔法。牢房裡的四人無意間發現書上的魔法居然都無比靈驗，便決定利用穿牆而過的魔法逃獄。一次失敗的嘗試之後，弱智的年輕男子撕扯著喫下了書頁，便痛苦地扭曲著死去了；母親般深愛著他的易性癖男子痛苦地將書丟出了牢房的窗戶，主人公和老紳士錯愕不已 活著的三人該怎麼辦呢？第二天，監獄管理人員清理了亂喫東西的年輕人的尸首後，一位穿著像魔術師般的中年人進入了牢房，帶著他的DV，在死去的年輕人的床位住下了。可是第二天他又消失不見了，監獄管理人員說根本沒有送來過新的犯人。主人公三人在那人留下的DV中看到了那人晚間施行穿牆而過的魔法的錄像，並且在牢房中再次發現了那本書。這一回，他們成功了，但是在施行了魔法之後，他們發現自己不是在牢房外面，而是來到了...

"... 這部法國的恐怖片卻是完全不同的表現型式,全片的場景就在幾間牢房之中,完整且緊湊的演出了一個與魔鬼交易的故事
一個商人入獄後和一個性相怪異的男子,一個什麼都吃的弱智和一位看似有智慧長者關在同一個牢房裡.一天偶然在牢房中發現一本記載黑魔法的日記,記載著可以逃出牢房的黑魔法,四人無意中發先魔法居然無比靈驗,主角起初因為保釋在即對逃獄不感興趣.其餘三人逃脫失敗之後弱智男子吃下日記而慘死,日記因此被丟棄.豈料,一名小丑般的男子在獄卒清除屍體後帶著魔法書搬進了這間牢房,隔天卻又離奇消失,主角在他留下的攝影機中發現黑魔法果真可以幫助他們離開,在得知妻子得背叛後,主角決定逃獄復仇,離開前,攝影機里又出現了奇怪的錄相...
離開之後,三人來到了另外一間牢房,設法離開的同時,三個人心中的希望都一一的被實現,卻也付出了巨大的代價...
就像浮士德一樣,和魔鬼交易通常不會有太好的下場,片中的幾位主角為了心中願望,都付出了極大的代價,全片成功的營造出了黑暗,恐怖的氣氛,雖然沒有嚇人用的片段,卻還是叫人看了背脊發毛,區區兩個房間,五個演員,就構成了一部完整的電影,不會讓人有貧乏或是不完整的感覺,導演的功力讓人佩服
小成本未必就不能做出好片,中文電影在有限的票房之下,這是一個很好的發展方向"

Movie--- The American /完美狙擊 (2010)
Quote--- Celine/ Before Sunset, Thesdays With Morrie (1999)/ 最後14堂星期二的課, It's Complicated(2009)/ 愛找麻煩
" There was this famous writer ----I don't remember who---who said the ideal relationship
was two intense years, with clean breaks, fresh starts, friends for life, something like that.
It's like you know your relationship had to end in two years, there would be no room for fighting
or wasted time. There could be more love and appreciation for one another. It's like, if everyone you met you knew was going to die at midnight, you would be a much more compassionate person. I mean, everyone's going to die, but since no one knows when, there's all the time in the world to be assholes to one another."
And it evokes me another movie "Thesdays With Morrie (1999)/ 最後14堂星期二的課"
I read this book when I was a senior high school student....
till last week, I saw the movie :)))
It's still so touch and introspective~
And.... ^^ "It's Complicated(2009)/ 愛找麻煩"
yap, what the movie try to explain is really soooooo complicated! :)
People always find how much they love and care about each other after
breaking up, divorcing, .....
And when the moment passed........ (smile)
This love would stay in the deepest of your heart~
How so????
You know, it's complicated~

"Forgive my lips. They find joy in the most unusual places."
there are 2 lines I most like in this movie. :P
And I never knew that Russell Crowe is a singer as well until today ~~~~~~
He has lots of talents!!!!
I like his albums, too~
And I love this OST (Original Sound Track) of the movie.
The movie use a kind of romantic, humorous way to describe a classic issue:
Money or You Life?
And even through the result is so..... classical!!!!!!
I love this move anyway :P
hope you would enjoy this move, too.
ps.
Hope I could tell the line,
"Forgive my lips. They find joy in the most unusual places.",

unfortunately, you can only see this portion in a theater or rent a DVD home~
on average, this is a nice movie,

愛在波蘭戰火時
I rent this DVD home last weekend....
If this massacre was carried out by Nazi Germany, I can understand it, you know ' Fascist'~
but the Slovak Republic! why?
Je crois entendre encore (wiki in En)
This song flowed into my ear as I was searching some information about 'Katyn'~
it's a sad aria from the Georges Bizet's opera Les pêcheurs de perles (The Pearl Fishers).
