ひまわりと子犬の7日間


It's been awhile since the last time I watched a good movie that's both touching & meaningful. Just watched this movie, "Himawari to Koinu no Nanokakan", it's a bit of slow pace movie, but it is very meaningful to watch till the end of it. 

It's a story about stray dogs that are being kept by the government agency. If they are unable to find a new owner in 7 days, those dogs will need to be put to sleep forever. One day a stray dog was found, and together there are 3 puppies in the wild. In order to save these dogs from being killed after 7 days, Shoji who work for the agency tried everything he can to tame the mother of 3 puppies, so that they can found their new owner and do not need to be killed.

If you owned a dog and you love your dog, this story will certainly bring you to tears. If you do not owned a dog but planned to own one, think twice before you decide. You must really commit yourself to be with it until the very end of it's life. And if you are planning to buy one, why not consider adopting from your local agency. Hope you will enjoy this movie as much as I do.

言の葉の庭


新海诚的最新力作,再一次的令人感动。
一对男女,一对师生,他们之间的爱恨情仇,他们各自怀抱的梦想,他们各自承受的孤单,相互依偎,相互扶持,最后结果会是如何?
续“追逐星星的孩子”后,新海诚这一次回归了“秒速五厘米”的制作风格,简短明确的把他想表达的故事呈现出来。非常不错的一部动画,记得不容错过!

桃姐


“桃姐”这部电影,讲述的是影片主角Roger和一位在他家工作了一辈子的佣人-桃姐的故事。虽然表面上看来是一部非常简单的影片,但是当中却带出了非常值得深思的意义与内涵。人,难免必须经历生老病死,但是在经历这些过程时,却是可以很痛苦,也可以很温馨。桃姐把Roger的家庭照顾的周全,年老之后,就由年轻的一辈好好看顾她,直到终老。故事巧妙的利用了主仆关系来描绘出那份“适时感恩”的情怀,希望借此让大家用心的思考一下,自己是否忘却了家中那渐渐老去的亲人。

看着这部影片,脑海里浮现的,是小时候的画面。我小时候是由婆婆照顾的,影片中不少画面与情节都和我记忆中的画面相互辉映,所以更是让我深感同受,热泪盈眶。婆婆每天就是从一大清早开始不断的忙碌,总是比任何人还要早起,然后到巴刹买菜,回来弄早餐,把我叫醒,催促我梳洗。在我上学后,她就开始打扫房子,然后洗衣,做午饭。放学回来,让我吃过午饭就会要我做功课。偶尔会让我看下电视,或者是玩下游戏。累了,就会躺下小睡一会儿,然后就必须准备晚饭。晚上,她会在一次打点了一切,然后比任何人都晚睡。

上了小学不久,婆婆就到新加坡去,因为在那里工作的姑姑生了小孩,所以她就到那里去替她看顾孩子。现在,婆婆依然还是在新加坡住着,所以只要有空,我便会过去看望她。毕竟因为她的恩惠,才有今天健健康康的我。她那不辞辛劳的毅力,用心的看顾,让我从无数的错误中醒悟过来,让我不会步入歧途。如果没有她,也许真的不会有今天的我。

婆婆也真的老了,偶尔会有些小毛病。虽然说生亦有时,死亦有时。但是,还是会很害怕那一天的到来。前些天,和她通了电话聊天,她说:“明年你二姐就结婚了,希望我还可以等多两年,然后看到你的婚礼吧。”听着,心就一阵酸溜溜的。愿上天能够保佑我婆婆,希望她能够健健康康,开开心心的度过她将来的每一天。我能回报她的,就只有多花时间陪伴她,然后每天为她祈祷,祈福。

婆婆,小时候让你照顾,让你辛苦了,现在就让我照顾回你,好好孝顺你吧...

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close


I have watched a few good movies recently, and this is another one that is touching & meaningful. 

This is a story about a boy lost his father in Sept 11 tragedy, and all his dad left for him was a key inside an envelop, with the word "Black" written on it. And soon, the boy begins his journey in search for the lock that the key opens... visiting people after people with the last name "Black", he embarks himself on a journey to know others, to know himself, and to know his family... in the end, the key was belongs to someone else, it doesn't lead him to his father. But the key did unlock his heart from the outside world, and release himself from the tragic and trauma of the lost of his father.

Many times, we are emphasising on the result or the outcome, which in the end has made us exhausted, drive us crazy, and disappointed ourselves and others. What we don't see, is the "process" rather than the "result" that is more fruitful to us. We should learn to cherish the process more. And take a look around you, you will realize that there are many people around you, friends and family, who will help you and guide you throughout the process.

Extremely loud & incredibly close, this is the voice of our hearts beating.

转山


在哥哥的葬礼上,书豪发现了哥哥留下的手记,一本记录着他未能完成的单车旅行。为了完成哥哥的心愿,为了解开自己心中的枷锁,书豪独自一个人,踏上了从丽江前往拉萨的漫长旅途。2000多公里的行程,高海拔的气候,带着哥哥留下的手记,他向着哥哥的梦想进发,向着大自然展开挑战,向着自己的内心拉锯着。一路上,他遇见了许多事,认识了许多人,看清了许许多多。最后,书豪还是熬过了重重万难,来到了拉萨。

故事其实十分简单,重点是在与感受书豪的改变,他那过程,他的心境的转变。遇见的人与事,都能够给予我们一些启发,一些思考。台湾近年来可以说是出了不少佳作,这可以算是其中一个吧!值得一提的是,这部影片的拍摄手法也很特别,新鲜,间接的让影片生色不少。

间接的,让我觉得有一些的感慨。为什么马来西亚就不能有一个健康的电影事业呢?大马电影,说真的,除了“初恋红豆冰”比较能算是有一点分量,其他并没有什么可以见得人的作品了。还真的是悲哀。也许大马并没有人愿意投资在电影事业上吧,又或者是真的没有人才可以撑起我们的电影事业?无论如何,还真的是希望有朝一日,我们也能够看到一些有素质的本土电影吧。

轻音。轻想


刚看完了“轻音部”这套动画的电影版。“轻音部”的故事是讲述着由五名女生组成的校园乐团的日常故事。嘛,发生在她们身边的,很多时候都是些没什么大不了的事情。偶尔会有些“大事件”的发生,不然就是得过且过的度过每一天,然后到十万火急的情况下才开始努力练习演奏歌曲之类的。在这电影版里,五名女生的其中四人就要毕业了,于是大家搞了一趟毕业旅行,来到音乐与茶点的故乡-伦敦。享受音乐与茶点之余,四位前辈正在烦恼着要把什么留下给自己最喜欢的后辈。最后,当然还是选择了用她们最喜欢的音乐来回报给她们的小学妹。“天使下凡了哦”一曲,道出了彼此的回忆,彼此的情感,在这毕业的时节里,更显得动听与贴切。


还记得我有说过,开始决定学习吉他时,这动画也有着一些的影响。有时会想想,啊,如果可以和一群朋友一起弹奏属于我们的歌,那该有多好啊!看完这部电影,不禁让我开始回想着过去的校园生活,当时的我,到底是怎么度过的呢?也许也是好像故事里的女生那样,整天无所事事,然后必要时才临时抱佛脚那样吧。但是,在关键的时刻,她们总能够振作起来,然后认真地把该完成的事物给完成。我...是否也像她们那样呢?


突然好想回到校园生活。果然还是校园里的日子才是最美好和难忘的啊。想着,想起了许多开心的趣事,也想起了一些忘却已久的回忆。虽然这些并不是最疯狂的过去,但也可以算是掺杂着遗憾的完美吧?突然有一点庆幸自己的校园生活并不是单单在埋头读书中度过。将来如果有人问我,我一定会告诉他:“尽情地享受你的校园生活吧!因为,这将会是你人生中最短暂与珍贵的时光。错过了就无法再回头了,所以情尽情地享受校园里那准时敲响的钟声,教室里那整齐排列的木座椅,黑板上那繁复擦拭的痕迹,走廊上那跑动的脚步声,活动室里那发出吱咋声响的百叶窗,布告板上那贴着的学生作品,办公室里那藤鞭挥动的敲响声,还有老师桌上那堆积如山的练习簿...”


这么简单的校园生活,也许随着时代的变迁,已经变得不太可能了。将来,如果有了孩子,他们的校园生活会是什么模样的呢?希望未来的小孩们也能够体验到这份简简单单的感动就好了。谢谢各位让我有过美好与辛酸的校园回忆的人。谢谢你们。希望未来的某一天里,大家有缘再见。


天使下凡了哦

呐,如果要把回忆的片段起个名字珍藏起来
那就把它称作“宝物”吧
没错,那一起度过的五彩缤纷的每一天
让我的心灵每一刻都无比充实
熟悉的校服与校鞋,还有那白板上的涂鸦
站在前往明天的入口处,真的能把它们全部放下吗?

但是呢,我遇到了美丽的天使
毕业并不代表着结束,因为今后我们依然还是朋友
不管是一起拍得照片,还是相同款式的钥匙圈
无论何时都是那么的耀眼
永远感谢这一路上你给予的笑颜

电车的站台前,河边的小道边
就算我们各奔东西,还是会仰望着同一片天空
一同唱起这一首歌吧?

但是呢,我遇到了美丽的天使
毕业并不代表着结束,因为今后我们依然还是朋友
如果你说你最喜欢我,我也会用我最喜欢的方式回应你
没有遗忘的东西了吧?
那就让我们永远都在一起吧

Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below 星を追う子ども


Well, even though the story titled as "Children who chase the star", but the whole story isn't really related to star at all. Anyway, this is the latest master piece by Makoto Shinkai, the director of "Byousoku 5cm", my all time favorite animation movie.

It is obvious that this time around he is using a different approach to tell his story. The story doesn't make me crying like "Byousoku 5cm", but this doesn't mean that the story is not touching. The graphic is still very nice, and so does the message Makoto Shinkai wants to deliver to everyone.

The meaning of life... the meaning of living... the meaning of death...

The story is started rather rapidly, pouring a lot of information for you to digest about the world and timeline of it... but soon it slows down to explain each and every of them, one by one. Everything is clearly told, the story, the character, the message... everything unfold slowly and gently. Although one may argue the storyline is a little "predictable", but the difference will be the how the whole message is being convey to the audience.

For those who have lost their love one... for those who are afraid of losing your love one... for those who are a little misserable about your life now... take a look into this movie and hopefully you will find that little special meaning inside like I did...

Here's the movie theme song and lyrics in chinese... hope you like it as well.


Hello, Goodby and Hello
熊木杏里
Hello Goodbye and Hello  與你相逢 現在與你離別
Hello Goodbye and Hello 然後向沒有你的這個世界 Hello
那個時候還不知道真正的 離別
漸漸破壞的心 一直在尋找著你
如果 你能聽見 有很多的話想告訴你
全心全意永遠讓你充滿笑容 許下誓言想留在你身邊

Hello Goodbye and Hello 與你相逢 現在與你離別
Hello Goodbye and Hello 然後向沒有你的這個世界 Hello
在喜歡上你的時候 已經踏上了 旅程
Hello Goodbye and Hello 永遠把你 記住在心裡
Hello Goodbye and Hello 然後 沿著這條路繼續前進
不想失去願望 是最遠的那一顆星 天空遼闊就如明天
雖然漫無邊際 但我想伸出雙手
“Hello Goodbye and Hello 與你相逢 現在與你離別
Hello Goodbye and Hello 然後向沒有你的這個世界 Hello”

One Day



Today, in the year of 2011… what have you done?
Today, in the year of 2010… what have you done?
Today, in the year of 2009…
Today, in the year of 2008…
2007…
2006…

It makes you wonder awhile, doesn’t it?

“One Day” is a movie of love story, a story between a guy and a girl, and what had happened between them on 15 of July, starting from 1988 until 2011. Every year, their life changes, and so does their relationship as well. From good friends to ordinary friends… from loving to hating each other… from regretting to finally getting together… the things that are changing were not just their relations, also their life, their view, their mindset and their relations with others…

After watching the movie, it really makes me think awhile… what am I doing last year on today? And what was it for the previous years? I can’t really recall, but I do think that when that comes together, I will be able to see the changes of me as well, year after year.

I wonder… in years to come… today…
What will I be doing? Where will I be living? Will I even like my life? And how far will I go…

冠军


《冠军》...可以说是韩国电影久违的一套佳作。
故事讲述的,是人与人之间的爱,亲人之间的爱,人与动物之间的爱
一个失去视力的骑士和一个跛了脚的赛马
它成为了他的眼睛,他成为了它的动力
他和它因为一场意外而相遇,因为一场意外而心连心
他失去了他心爱的妻子,而它失去了它心爱的儿子
这对不可能的组合,造就了不可能的传奇,完成了不可能的任务
改编至真实故事...这,绝对是值得一看,赚人热泪的感动之作。

星空


最近看了这部电影...《星空》。
原来是几米绘本改编的故事。这是一部值得一看的电影,从拍摄手法,到故事铺排都做得很不错。虽然故事是一贯的青春爱情剧,但是还是隐约的被这部影片给吸引着。

也许是因为自己曾经也写过几篇关于星空的文章吧...但是绝对无法和五月天的“星空”比拟的,他们写的词实在是太棒了。
也许是因为自己对故事里头的情节深感同受吧...

身边有再多的人,但是却没有一个可以交心的对象。
身边有再多的幸福,却还是会忍不住抬头望着寂寞的星空。

在人生这一幅拼图里,我...始终在寻找着缺掉的,遗失的那一块...好让我能够把这幅拼图...变得完整。

虽然不是什么催泪作品,但是还是能够引人深思,同时也许会唤醒你内心深处某段埋藏的回忆吧。希望大家也会喜欢这部电影,同时好好品尝这首主题曲吧...



星空 
五月天 

摸不到的颜色 是否叫彩虹
看不到的拥抱 是否叫做微风
一个人 想着一个人
是否就叫寂寞 

命运偷走如果 只留下结果
时间偷走初衷 只留下了苦衷
你来过 然后你走后
只留下星空

那一年我们望着星空
有那么多的灿烂的梦
以为快乐会永久
像不变星空 陪着我 

猎户 天狼 织女光年外沉默
回忆 青春 梦想何时偷偷陨落
我爱过 然后我沉默
人海里漂流 

那一年我们望着星空
未来的未来从没想过
当故事失去美梦 美梦失去线索
而我们失去联络
这一片无言无语星空
为什么静静看我泪流
如果你在的时候
会不会伸手 拥抱我 

细数繁星闪烁 细数此生奔波
原来所有 所得 所获 不如一夜的星空
空气中的温柔 回忆你的笑容
彷佛只要伸手 就能触摸 

摸不到的颜色 是否叫彩虹
看不到的拥抱 是否叫做微风
一个人 习惯一个人
这一刻独自望着星空
从前的从前从没变过
寂寞可以是忍受 也可以是享受
享受仅有的拥有
那一年我们望着星空
有那么多的灿烂的梦
至少回忆会永久
像不变星空 陪着我
最后只剩下星空
像不变回忆 陪着我

Colorful


Just watched this movie titled "Colorful"...
A story about a boy who committed suicide, and was given a second chance to live his life again in order to make things right...
Throughout the story, the boy has learn the meaning of friendship, family, love and most importantly, the meaning of living...
A slow pace story, but indeed it is nicely done...
To watch this movie this time around really brings some great meaning to me...
A very touching story about life...
It makes you think again the life you are having now...
And how you should continue for the rest of the journey...
I think is time for me to sit down and think about the life that I want to live...
Hopefully... it will be "colorful"...

Wu Xia (武侠)


Went to watch this movie... well, how can I miss the movie of Takeshi Kaneshiro... haha... anyway, let's talk about what I feel about this movie here.

The story begins with an incident happened in a small village, where 2 wanted criminals attempt to rob a shop. And Donnie Yen saved the shop owner and "accidentally" killed the 2 criminals. And here comes Takeshi Kaneshiro... investigating the truth behind this incident. The way the story unfold is very interesting and tempting. The more he investigate, the more truth has been unveiled. He found out that Donnie Yen didn't killed the 2 criminals by accident. In fact, he is a great kung fu master, and he killed them both by his intention.      

This is where the turning point of the story begins. Donnie Yen admitted he was a murderer before this, and now he want to have a new life again being an ordinary people, a good guy. But Takeshi Kaneshiro didn't think so. He believes that there are no "good guy" or "bad guy" in this world. We decide to be good or bad by our intention and things will change at any time and any moment. He wanted to arrest Donnie Yen. However, Donnie Yen's father (who had trained him to become a murderer and kung fu master) has managed to found him and want him back to his side to help him. Donnie Yen refuse, and then the conflict between them begins.

Well, up until this point the story is still very interesting. But things turn out to be rather disappointing towards the end. At the very beginning,  the story is emphasizing everyone has a good and bad personality inside, and this can be shown clearly from Takeshi Kaneshiro's act and also Donnie Yen's act. However, towards the end, this point is no longer being the center of the story line. In the end, Donnie Yen lose his left arms, Takeshi Kaneshiro died protecting Donnie Yen, and his father died "accidentally". And Donnie Yen live on happily ever after in the small village with his wife...

So, first I don't know why the director has lose his focus on the main theme towards the end... secondly, I got no idea why this movie have this title. It is not about action or kung fu... rather there are only some fighting action towards the end of the movie... which is only a small portion of it. The story is talking about something deeper within everyone. Third, the ending is rather lame... if the main theme of this story is able to carry on until the end, this would have been a great movie. They should ditch those fighting scene and work more on the emotional side. Like in the end, when Takeshi Kaneshiro died, the "bad guy" inside him is standing in front of him and crying... crying for the sacrifice of the "good guy" in him... this is a rather good interpretation which brings out the whole concept of the story.

Well, all in all, the movie did make me think about some of the things like what I have mentioned above... some are quite true... and leaves me ponder for awhile. Worth to watch in cinema? Hmm... I don't think many will like this movie. I like the concept, like the beginning... but dislike the ending. A good story, but poorly told. That is how I can conclude this movie.

Box!!


One student
One gangster
One interest
One rival
One ring
One battle

These words had summarized the story and the message that this movie try to bring out. It is a story about youth, about the spirit of never give up, about the will to take on challenge...

A student, who is always scoring good result, has a friend who is a gangster... they are friends since young. The student admire his gangster friend very much, especially when he saw him fighting in the ring for boxing championship. In the end, he was inspired to join in the boxing club as well. From a weak-book-worm, he manage to transform himself to become one of the best boxer in high school. Together with his gangster friend, they aim high in winning against the high schools tournament record holder in the coming boxing championship...

A very nice story indeed. very good plotting, entertaining and yet sending a lot of meaningful message at the same time. Watched it during my flight from Italy back to Malaysia on board of the airplane. I'm not sure where can you get it, but I would recommend you guys to have a look at it if you can.

路标

如果你被告知你的生命只剩下一天,也就是24小时...你会做些什么?

现在的我,也许会好好把玩我的高达模型,弹弹我的吉他,翻翻橱里的杂志,和家人聊聊天,和喜欢的人告个白,和朋友说声再见...就这样度过安详而不会太过伤感的最后一天吧...


《逝纸》这一部电影,说的就是这样的一个故事。为了警惕世人珍惜时光,好好发挥自己,爱惜家人,政府定下了法律:人群中会有人被选中“为了国家而献出生命,为的是让活着的人能更积极”。一个很无稽的法律,但是故事中三个被告知只剩下24小时的人,却活出了不一样的最后一天,也为身边的人带来了不一样的影响。虽然故事架构好像很不合逻辑,但是静心探讨过中的意义...确实有一种莫名的感动。

送给大家的,是这电影的主题曲。听着,然后想想看你会怎样利用拿最后的24小时吧...

道しるべ

PhilHarmoUniQue

过不久就是我的生日
只不过是蛋糕上又多了根蜡烛
前后左右压在肩上的事情
在这天平上我内心摇摆不定

虽然讨厌斗争
但心中却一直拿着手枪指着谁
即便退下别人也想站上的领奖台
想要得到什么,又有什么目标

所有人都在现实中寻找着路标

活着到底意味着什么
是斗争到底,还是逃避下去
到底怎样做才正确
是为了保护永不出错,还是坚持自己永不迷失

眼泪流干了,笑多了脸上反增加皱纹
和心爱的人一起背负的重担令我直不起身
挣扎的想要追求幸福
挣扎的想要使人幸福

尽管如此,偶尔也会有忘却时候

关怀到底是什么?
是宽宏还是反之待人严厉
爱又是什么?
是体谅而已,还是尽力隐藏起那份疑心

虽然无法躲过那些风风雨雨
但我也终归会为人引路

活着到底意味着什么
是斗争到底,还是逃避下去
现在向前迈出一步
不是踏向死亡一步,而是迈向生存的一步

现在我要唱的歌
虽然有些羞愧,但仍希望能打动他人的心
这就是我的路标…

My Name Is Khan


Yes, starring by Bollywood stars, but yet this is a Hollywood movie. A touching, lovely and yet meaningful story which I think should share with everyone. This is especially true for country like Malaysia which is multi racial. A story about love, a story about respect, a story about giving, a story about living...

Khan is just an ordinary man, although born with extra ordinary syndrome, he fight for himself to live in happiness, as a promise to his mom who past away. He is living happily as a Muslim, with his with and son in America, until September 11 where Muslims were all categorized as "terrorist". Besides losing his job, his son were dead being accidentally killed by schoolmates who bully him due to his religion. His wife feels so disappointed and sad, till she says that she regretted for marrying Khan, who is a Muslim. She told him to leave, and in the quarrel, she told Khan that only if he can meet the President of United State and tell him to declare that Muslim are not terrorist, she will not be seeing him again. So Khan set off his long journey, following the foot steps of the President and hoping to grab just a chance to meet with the President. Along his way, he spread his warm heart to people around him, until the end... his wish was finally granted...

Try to understand the story... and after that, try to understand people around you. Please stop any racist act as none of the religion in this world would ask for terror and fear. Stop misinterpreting the words from religious documents. Stop creating chaos at the name of God. Stop misleading people in the name of God. Stop abusing the purity of religion. As this world is only divided by just two different group... good people and bad people... stop being the bad people and start to show your humanity today...

岁月...是最无情的神偷...

岁月...是最无情的神偷...


看了《岁月神偷》这部影片,更深深地体会了这份感觉。这是一部讲述一个小康之家,在无情的岁月中如何熬过来,如何变化,如何成长的电影。温馨,伤感,现实,感动的一部杰作。

自古以来,大家都说岁月无情,渐渐的也明白了其中的原因。身边最简单的例子,就是家人。一直以来,一家人都住在一起,兄弟姐妹们一起长大,“在一起”已经变成了一种“理所当然”,一种“习惯”。但是,这一切始终还是敌不过岁月的摧残。大姐结婚了,自然就和丈夫搬了出去住。家,从此就少了一个人。虽然放假或周末会回来吃饭,但是,始终还是不一样了。迟些,二姐也会结婚,也会搬出去吧...最后就只剩下我和妈了。现在想着,真的会有一种害怕的感觉。但是,我知道始终还是得面对这一切的。

看着我的亲戚,只有过年过节才会聚在一起,一股莫名的伤感一涌而上。但是,就算没什么见面,大家还是对彼此那么熟悉,这又是另一种莫名的安慰。确实大家有了新的家庭以后,就有义务去照顾它。但是,之前的家人还是应该好好联系的。总觉得,害怕那一天的到来,亲生兄弟姐妹,却必须因为家庭,因为工作而各散东西...讨厌这样的感觉,不喜欢这样的生活。但是,又无可奈何...如果再加入离开人世这可能性...一切,就变得更可怕了。

岁月流逝,难免。
只能希望它不要对我太残忍...那就好了...

绑匪


和朋友去看了这套戏。总的来说,说是中规中矩的电影。并不是卖特效,不算是商业片。故事简单的带出Ah Huat和Mister Lim之间的关系,但是可以感受得到那是多么强烈的。林德荣的演技...算ok啦,但是还可以更狠一点的。女主角的演技与发挥就略为逊色了。李铭顺与两个小孩子的发挥可以说是非常完美。我喜欢这部戏的一点,是当Ah Huat在理智与崩溃边缘徘徊时,那段内心的挣扎戏。他可以变成绑匪,但是最后他还是选择了继续当一个好人。

星洲日报影评所批评的,就是那36小时筹回来的五十万太新了。的确,那么匆忙,钱应该有些是破旧的。然后,另一个令我觉得失望的,是戏里头把警察都当作是废物那样。阿虎杀了网咖的店员,闭路电视是看到的;然后Ah Huat杀了阿虎...这两件事情,都完全被忽略带过。发生这样的事,难道还不会惊动警察吗?这点让整部电影添上了少许的不逻辑。

无论如何,还是不错的一部电影。不错是指它要表达的讯息明确,而且有意义。喜欢商业片的人应该不会喜欢看这样的戏吧?哈哈...

生命最后一个月的新娘



看了这部电影,故事讲述一个男人对一个女人的爱,不离不弃,就算那女的患上了绝症,他仍然守候在她身旁,在她临终前,和她结婚,完成了她的心愿。故事十分简单,遗憾的是未能深刻带动出那份情绪...最吸引我的是电影的插曲,“The Rose”。也许我不是第一次听见这歌曲吧...无论如何,一听见就觉得很有共鸣,很漂亮的一首歌,简单却带出了歌词的意义。网上搜索了,发现许多人都唱过这首歌。原唱者已经过世,但是听了几遍,还是觉得电影里头,由Juju演唱的版本最好听。这是下载地址:

Juju - The Rose

歌词如下:

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.

Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you it's only seed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking,
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
that never takes a chance.

It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give.
And the soul, afraid of dying,
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely,
and the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,

Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow,
Lies a seed, that with the sun's love,
in the spring becomes a rose

初恋红豆冰


因为身边的人都在狂推这部戏,所以便去看了。之前已经看过了许多人的“影评”,说很好笑啦,有童年的感觉啦...什么的。在我看完这部影片后,只觉得这样评论这部戏的人...好肤浅。不过,如果没有这样的人,商业片就不会卖座,电影业恐怕就要垮了。所以并不能否定这些人的存在。唉...为什么大家都不能用“心”去看电影呢?只是单单用“眼”看,满足自己的五官...这样看电影,感觉上太没意义了。这样的影评...阿牛看了一定会很伤心...

言归正传,看完这部电影的感想...该怎么说呢,有一种莫名的感动。故事发展很简单,剧情很简单,对白很简单。但是拍摄的手法,沉静的画面,不做作的配乐...都独自散发出个别的讯息。众多的人物,但是他们之间所牵扯的关系与情感...却是那么以外的直接与明了。父母与长大的孩子之间那微妙的关系与转变,朋友之间渐渐成熟而各奔前程的转变,一段纯纯的友谊,暗恋与相恋而没相爱的转变,知道最后时间冲淡一切过后的那心境的转变...就这样,被简简单单的带了出来。这样的情节,可以说对现在这样年龄的我们来说是非常贴切,窝心与深感同受的。已经跨过这年龄的安哥安娣们,也许可以重温过去那段遗失的美好...还没到这年龄的,就当作是一部普通的电影看好了,将来可能会发现到这故事的美妙之处吧...

在学业上,事业上,友谊上,家庭上,爱情上,亲情上的交叉路口,此时此刻的我...会怎么继续走下去呢?大家又会怎么做出选择呢?在这转折点上...一切可能将要改变...但是我们过去的那份回忆...不知是否还能保存呢?无论如何,希望自己能够昂首走出自己想要的下一步,不会后悔。也希望我在大家的记忆里,有着一个还算正常的存在吧!哈哈...最后还是会推荐大家去看这部电影,记得...用“心”去看...希望你们也会喜欢。

艋舺


不一样的画面,不一样的浪漫
不一样的友情,不一样的情义

这,就是一部那么不一样的电影

也许它只是另一部黑道影片,也许它只是另一部台湾影片
也许它只是另一部商业影片,也许它只是另一部打斗影片

但,它却散发出不一样的味道

它卖的,不是帅哥主角
它卖的,不是电脑技术
它卖的,是有血有汗的内涵
它卖的,是不为人知的故事

义气,黑道,友情,爱情,亲情
短短的两小时内被简略的带出
但是却深深地撼倒了我的心
华人电影里久违的佳作,值得一看
