Movie --- Life of Pi



"3D" is nothing but a claptrap of lots of movies.

Those movies forgot one of the important characteristics of the movie,

Telling The Story, Explaining The Philosophy, ...

In this work, 3D is a powerful tool used by the director, Ang Lee.

Some comments say that Life of Pi is layered in its storytelling where Avatar is straightforward.

ha, I cannot agree you more~

After watching it, I am interested in the book...

I bet that there are lots of interesting and introspective sentences of the book.

Movie --- Machine Gun Preacher



中文網頁-> here

已有成千上萬名非洲兒童受害於世上最殘暴的恐怖組織「主的反抗軍」(Lord's Resistance Army,簡稱LRA)。由柯尼(Joseph Kony)領導的這個恐怖組織擄掠、姦淫、謀殺、
截肢、誘拐無辜民眾,讓蘇丹、烏干達和剛果民眾喪膽。
但近十年來,美國宣教士查德斯(Sam Childers)已從LRA手中救出一千多名兒童。


IMDb -> here
Sam Childers is a former drug-dealing biker tough guy who found God 
and became a crusader for hundreds of Sudanese children who've been 
forced to become soldiers.

<<
... everyone has a child, everyone that has a brother and a sister,
if your child or your family member was abducted today;
if a madman came in,
if a terrorist came in,
abducted your family member or your child,
and if I said to you, "I can bring your child home,"
dose it matter how I bring him home?
>>

recently, I saw this video, Machine Gun Preacher,
and think about this paragraph at the end of the video~

when staying out of a game,
people can always be calmed and talk lots about morals, honorable something.....
when we were drawn in.... that's another thing!


by the way, you know,
movies, news, .... any kind of information is just a tiny-tiny point of view of the whole event~

Movie-- L'Auberge Espagnole (Euro Pudding)/ The Spanish Apartment/ 西班牙公寓 (2002)


No English subtitle and .... no Traditional Chinese, too ( sad )~
Leaving home is difficult, 
but blending into another country and culture needs more courage!
Herein, I found that Xavier and his room-mates, 
they have lots of arguments, but no conflicts and judgement; 
They respect others' life styles, including their personal/private parts~
And I think that maybe the most safest, smart, and best way to 
join into a group(from a class to countries), in most cases!


Okay~, there are a lot of deeper topics and points to dig...
But, ha~ I just wanna say I seemed to feel Paris' and 
Barcelona's air, breeze, light, and some street noise 
around me....
And I regret that I did not take a line and visit the La Sagrada Familia (crying)~
Oh~ Europe~ Missing you~~~~~~~


IMDb: 7.3/10
A strait-laced French student moves into an apartment in Barcelona with a cast of six other characters from all over Europe. Together, they speak the international language of love and friendship.

Director: 

Cédric Klapisch

... 「西班牙公寓」就是離家的故事。用男主角沙維的話來說,這是一個關於起飛的故事。沙維是個典型的巴黎小孩,按部就班的順著社會的軌道長大,雖然小時候捲著一頭金髮,夢想當個作家。但金髮隨著年齡逐漸轉黑,他的願望也慢慢淡忘,因為:人總是會改變的。
... 
如果離家需要勇氣,要和一個城市相處,需要更大的勇氣。到了巴塞隆納,沙維住進名為「歐洲布丁」的一所公寓,室友包括來自義大利的亞力山卓、德國的托比、丹麥的萊斯、英國的溫蒂、比利時的依莎貝、西班牙的蘇麗蝶,這個「歐盟」的縮影,顯然是導演的理想國。他藉著沙維給了認同:「這些人的混亂世界和我的內心一樣。她為何會在這裡,就像我為何在這裡。」
...   

     每一個環境都有它的美好與不美好,評價是因為我們做了選擇性的偏見,那是傲慢。沙維一到西班牙就了解這個道理,他說:「總有一天你會住慣這個城市,你會認得所有的街道,你會住在這些房子裡,同這些人分享同一個故事。只要你住在這個城市,穿過這條街十次、二十次,一千次、、過一陣子,一切都會屬於你,因為你住在那裡。有一天等你回到法國,一切都變成冒險故事,旅程中最糟糕和最悲慘的事,就是你最愛說的話題。」


 所以即使拿到經濟學碩士,如願以償得到金飯碗,沙維卻在上班的第一天逃離辦公室,因為他發現井井有序的公務生涯,不是他要的人生。他說:「一切似乎清楚而且簡單,那不是我,我要找簡單的自己,在西班公寓裡的大家。」


 他選擇當作家,一條自認沒有前途的路,將西班公寓的故事寫成「歐洲布丁」,他的人生重新起飛。




哈克魯的夏日狂想曲

2002年我在捷克卡羅維瓦利影展首次看到這部電影,放映時全場笑聲、掌聲不斷,最後本片不負眾望,一舉摘下觀眾票選最佳影片,隨後並在法國等歐洲國家形成旋風,甚至造成申請赴巴塞隆納留學的人數 大增的效應。隨後,美國福斯公司買下它的世界版權,可惜雖然有了大片商撐腰,台灣卻選擇不上映, 只默默發了DVD。
其實這是一部雅俗共賞的輕鬆小品,男主角羅曼杜里斯也一舉成為人氣偶像,這位男星今年又以《我心遺忘的節奏》大獲影評與觀眾的熱烈好評,前途無可限量。《西班牙公寓》的賣座,也造就續集《俄羅斯娃娃》的拍攝,後者已於今年完成,並在歐洲推出上映了。

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:
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~

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."


附註:
ha, 有認真的把簡單名詞翻譯加上去~

Movie-- Maléfique/聖歌(or 監獄驚駭日, 兇符) (2002)



= =" I do not find any trailers with English or Traditional Chinese subtitle.....
so.... we can image it with help of IMDb's description and the trailer~

And 台灣的朋友~ :) 你們可以在 PPS 上找到它耶!

It's a extreme bloody movie.....
so make sure you are not in a meal as watching it.....

IMDb
"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... "

TW_Bolg
"... 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"

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"
