Mr. Hollond's first day started with nervous and depressed,

His dream: compose a great symphony,

him were the note, the rhythm of his symphony~
The symphony of life!

開演電影
音樂家荷蘭一生最大的志願就是作一首萬古留芳的交響樂。
無奈，為了生活，他只好屈就在高校裡當起音樂老師。

他元全不知該如何與兒子相處，更別提和兒子分享他的音樂喜好了。
於是他把所有的心力投注在工作上，將他三十多年的青春全部奉獻於培養學生的音樂興趣。

就在他將退休之年，學校卻下了一個決定，把學生的音樂課全部刪除。
喜歡音樂的學生和他積極的努力下，依然改變不了既定的事實。
學生對於這位音樂老師最後一天當「老師」的生涯，決定給荷蘭一個驚喜……
所有他教過的學生，有的還是民意代表、成功的商人……
全部回到母校，為他們的老師開一場演奏會……

Appreciate --- Gave us a Ride

ha, I am in my office now, even though today is a national holiday.....
(I wanna get my Ph.D degreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee............)

Anyway, I give myself a 1.5hr break and today's cloud, temperature....
evoke a warming experience as I missed the last bus in Gosausee, Austria.

Because of our travelling budget, time,.....
we just had 2 days to visit Hallstatt, Ice Cave, and Gosausee.....
(we did not visit the Salt Mine.... sad!)
You know, time always does not enough for visiting such beautiful and romantic landscapes!

As a backpacker,
bus/train timetable is always the first thing to check,
especially when you arrive to a great place :))))
so, I checked the time, 17:10, for the last bus which would take us back to our hotel (Hallstatt).

And then......   Enjoying ~

I was plaining to be a skinny-dipper :)))
But I partner would not join with me............

we took some salon-like photos ^+++++^


ding, ding, ding~~~
It's time to go to the bus stop! (16:40)~

hm.................
it's 17:20!!!! where's the bus.........
In our experience, Austria's public communications are always on time!
So, we checked the timetable again.....
OH MAN!!!!
17:10 is for School-Day, Monday to Friday!!!
However, it's Sunday ................ We missed the last bus!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How fortunately! We met this kind man and his lovely mom~
In the beginning, this gentleman and the lady were just finishing exercise walking, 
and asked me "Do you know what time is it?"~
^^" I answered "WE MISS THE LAST BUS"......
so~ ^++++++++++^ they took us to a bus stop, and we can take bus to our hotel at the stop~
After checking the timetable(bus will arrive in 10min), they went into a across-street store~

I had nothing to do as waiting bus... so I checked the timetable again....
MAMAMIYA...... we made the same mistake.....
the bus will arrive in 10min is for School-day only!!!
We had to wait around 45min for the bus on that day (Sunday)~

As you know, in Europe, stores and vendors are off around 18:00~19:30 in weekend....
and we had about 30min to kill before the bus arriving,
so, we went into the store to buy our dinner~

The Lady saw us and asked "why you are here?"
After explaining, they decided to take us to Hallstatt and
the Lady bought cakes and chocolate-bars to us (I was almost crying.... what a great Lady!),
and the gentleman told us:
"It's not worth to spend time waiting a bus in such beautiful place and vocation~"

In the car, we talked about Hallstall's history, where is the MUST VISIT, and
man should have a wife in each country :) (the Lady has some different opinion, of course ),
and sang "500 miles" : away from home, away from home~~~~


We deeply appreciate your kindness and help~
^+++++++++++++++++++++++++++^
And I am going to sent a postcard to you Lady ~
Hoping the postcard can arrive to your house
(Because I'm not sure the address is correct...  = ="
you know, handwriting sometimes is hard to recognize,
especially for people, like me, whose first language is not English...)

Movie-- London Boulevard/ 倫敦大道

IMDb

"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.

開眼電影

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-- Le Concert

IMDb
中文部落格

I knew this movie as I was searching one of Tchaikovsky's violin concert around one year ago~

And I saw this movie last week....

hm..... I love the music portion  and the actress (>////<),

however, I think the screenplay is not good enough~ ^^"

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