丹布朗之大騙局

i did not expect to read this sequence in such a long time.
probably, it is because the reading experience of his previous books has revealt
his unique pattern, which reduces the sense of exciting and itneresting hugely.
so, it is great to read this one at this time being.
the whole strcture is different and this time
the writer uses female character to be the main character
(as a reference, Fox does not agree with me,
he thinks the same pattern still exists and could be obseved easily)
still, with the writer usual combination of science, military and politic issues ,
the work is very alluring and invites the readers to finish it as soon as possible.
moreover, i really think the writer is always expecting the filmic adaptation to
his writing, for the plot and the designation is so visualized.
readers can easily draw the picture of the happenings and even
predict the possible candicates for each character.
as a detective novel, it is very successful.
and as a educational book, i think it does not fail to surprise the readers
with new foundings and knowledges.
even though what Dan describes is usually seudo-scientific, it is very inspiring to
civilans who lack knowledge of high tech!

週末電影三連發之阿凡達

my film experience of this movie is definitely a nightmare!
the whole reason is a BITCH! (yes, i am going to use this bad word!)
sitting next to us.
she kepts laughing in inproper scenes and moments during the whole movie.
she also made noises and sounds in weird points
basically, she succesfully ruined my appetites for the film.
Besides the special glasses we wear to watch the 3-D version also
drives me crazy, for it hurts after two hours forty mins.
as for the film itself, well, i think it makes me impatient in one hour.
i start to check the time ...........
i feel it is kind of hard for me to sympathize those BLUE aliens
(actually, they are like Indians or Africans)
and i can hardly bear the prolonged fight and the love affair in the film.
that is,
if you want to create a new species which is totally different from human beings,
how could they "kiss" (or i should say, show intimacy) in the same way like us
to KISS someone you love?
that's definitely very human-like.
These smalls things keep reminding my how unreal and unreasonable the film is.
eventually, i feel tired of it
still, it is worth even for its special effects

週末電影三連發之福爾摩斯

it is kind of crazy that this weekend i see three movies
and most surprising of all,
two of them are in the theater.
it is really a very rare occasion to me, considering the high spend
still, this is the trilogy of the weekend film.
let me start with the one that i love most,
actually this evaluation is definitely unfair
however, this is my blog and i am allowed to say whatever i like
even they are 100% biased
i do enjoy the film of Guy Richie,
the director of Snatch, and many other excellent films.
i am not interested in pretending i have a taste of non-polular fims
but i do feel that the fast tempo, hilarious conversation, vivid characters
in his films make me kind of obsessed.
someone says that his film is like a prolonged MV with
shots after shots.
I think this comment is true and this is also what makes it so specially.
his film is not too long, not boring, and not commen for sure.
back to this wonderful adaptation film, Sherlock Holmes,
the choice of the actors has clearly declared that it
is not going to be a shot by shot adaptation of the original novel.
basically, only the names of the main characters are alike.
as for their personality, body shape, ...
nothing is the same with the original.
i do not think the director deliberately parodies the original novel.
it isn;t fair to say so.
he just wants to give a new favor to the classic.
i do recommend you guys to see the film.
at least, it is funny.
ps. it is so related to my final term paper and i feel so sad that
it seems to be impossible for me to make it my topic

週末電影三連發之自由大道

i saw this movie on Sat night, that is after Sherlock Holmes,
(I sitll feel crazy about what we did for the weekend)
when i was young.......
i would be more excited about this kind of films
i mean those with political issues and humanistic concerns.
however, as i grew up, i become numb with them.
probably, i am old enough to experience and witness the socalled disillusion of dream and hope.
so,
i wait for a long time to see this film.
gay issue.......
my only comment is
Sean Penn is fucking amazing!

你門~~~~到底想幹麻?

其實我沒想到 語言隔閡 居然是出現在我的網誌上
從我開始使用blogger 匯到我版上留言的人真是少之又少
知道 有一天我發現 會有一些零星的流言
我當然是喜不自勝 馬上就點來看
結果 通通 是像 下圖一樣的流言
還很國際化的都是日本人喔

一開始因為很有趣 我也就把他留著
(對~~ 人家也想製造高人氣的假象)
沒想到 日覆一日 她們居然匯找到先前有人PO過的流言
然後就不斷的累加在同一偏流言
根本就是看到糖 的盲目螞蟻依樣
就這樣一直堆堆堆

結果居然就是上圖 63個~~~~~~~~~~
63個 你門
到底

i am kind of unexpected to see this film, for i am meant to show another film, that is, A boat that rocks for the studntes in TKU. i also have to admit that i am a little bit disappointed while they decided to choose another film. thus, those who are big fans to this film please forgive me and my probably biased comments.

to me the theme of the film is not that new. actually you might even feel that it is so familiar that one might wonder if it could still be alluring and and inspiring. From a math genius to a gymnast, the only thing that never changes is their bad tempt and overexpanded ego. they frequently feel lost in their pursuit of the final goal and always need the advices from anyone but their own parents. isn't it weird? how could we expect a complete stranger to dig out the true self? (see, i am over-matured, or i would simply believe them all)


also, the whole film is surprisingly cliched~~~~~ Seeing the hero suffering once and once again, I can't help but thinking could the playwright be more tedious.... the same pattern remerges in this movie without much adaptation. even the final success seems to predictable and inexpectant to me. (yeah, i warn you the possible prejudice........) still, this film does teach me one thing. that is, i am no more a naive person and no longer need someone to lead to pursue my goal............

the same director from 落日殺神 and the similar feeling i've got from 邁阿密風雲, i do not expect other people to agree with me but i say this with a good reason. the gun fight~ i do not know why but the gun fight scene in these three films are strangely cool, indifferent, alienated, and distached. i am not saying that they are not alluring or attractive. Nor am i saying that they are not exciting and lively. what i mean is the sound of the gun which is slightly different from those of other films. probably not that loud and clear but kind of "muffled" i am sure the high tech could provide excellent and vivid recording effect and surer that the director deliberately make the sound like so. anyway this muffled gun sound
interests me and add an unique flavour to theses films.

as for the male supporting role, Mr. Christian Bale, he has been named as the most unlucky actor nowadays, for he keeps performing in huge investment films but "deglittering" by other better actors or actresses. I am sure Fox would not agree with this, for he mentioned yesterday that he thought Bale is becoming an excellent and genius actor. Still, he is unluck for certain. for instance, 魔鬼終結者中的機器人? 蝙蝠俠中的小丑 (希司萊傑ㄟ~~) and this time, Johnny Depp???? even if we trace back to Velvet Goldmile, there is still
Ewan Mcgregor ................ Anyway, this film is quiet and detached. Posted by Picasa

米蘭昆德拉:生命中不可承受之輕

I did not expect to read this book in this circumstance. I meam while half awake and half rush. this is the possible text book for the absurd ltierature course. even though i can not know for sure if it is going to happen. of course, i've heard this book. it seems to be a necessity for ltierary students to know it. however my delay encountering with it never bothers me a lot. Certainly i am full aware the significance of both the work and the author, still, i am reluctant to read it earlier. i gusee it is the sense of rebellion that drives me away from it for a long time. anyway, i did read it these days and found i was right before. that is, it is impossible for me to LOVe it. i do appreciate the excellent writing skill, (maybe i should not even say so, for i read the Chinese version) and the ambition to relate to various things in the novel. Yes! the author is ambitious and this is probably the best word i cound use to describe him. he is so ambitious that he juxtapose numerous isses. human beings and animal; love; rebellion, nature and human beings, religion and human beings; homosexual, erotic, political affair, WW2, communism, urban life and country life, alienation, .............. Yes, what an ambitious writer! Posted by Picasa

i just finish this film and can't wait to share my afterthought . perfect chocie of the characters, perfect designation of the atmosphere and almost perfect ending. it is a film that is almost perfect to me

the actress is no undoubtedly wonderful and excellent. her performance hardly disappoints the audiences. (execpt in 扶桑花女孩, , it is not fer own fault, right?)
Still, the ending of the film is devasticatic and over-artificual the girl who has just broken her heart buys a donuts on her way to the train station? a sudden relief?

moreover to emphasize the pretty eyes of the heroine, the makeup is definitely over!!!! the eyelashes is unnatural long and almost make her seductive (not in a good way). As a girl famous for her transparent act and dispistion, i really do not think she needs that fake eyelashes on her face. Still, it is a very good film with peaceful aura and wonderful act.

actually, i am kind of reluctant to write down my comment on the movie. i have a feeling that it could crush out my established good sense of films. the truth is the film is so hard to understand and i can barely finish it. (well, i quit in the very last part)

i am sure that the leading actor Philips is talented and amazing. and i have no doubt that the director has lots of things to say about humanity, loneless, love, life, alienation, family, theatre.....etc. maybe it is just because there are so many of them, i feel tired right after the film passed one hour. those obvious intentional scenes which obviously demands interpretations really bother me and exhausts my attention. so., it's hard. and for those really smart people, please do watch it and tell me your afterthogughts!

to me, the two movies adapted from 丹布朗 an the two novels as well seem to remind me

my own personality from time to time.

(forgive me. I am too lazy to check for the spelling)

I read Davinci Code after returing from Paris.

I read Angles and Demons after returing from ROme.

What couldn't I simply read them earlier to have

a better understanding of the city I am about to visit?

The only reason would be my sloopy personality

which shows in every aspect of my daily life.

Still, i have to defense for myself by saying that

even though I read the novels after the trip, they work as wonderful reminders

of the amazing things i've seen in the trip.

So, the memory exists in a more concret way in my mind!

Returning to the movie itself,

well,

it is interesting and the choice of the character

(besides Tom Hanks, i keep thinking that he is toooooooooo old for that character)

(and, yes, I am talking about 伊旺麥奎格) is surprising.

and I doubt we would have the chance to see another film adapted from 丹布朗's works,

for they are, literally speaking, all the same ~~~~~~~~

拉森二部曲-玩火的女孩

like my reading experience of Ian's novel,
the disorder of the consequence causes me lots of trouble in
totally understanding the story.
Stieg Larsson is now considered as the talented novelist whose work concentrates
on the issue of female abuse and teenager criminal isses.
Also due to the designation of the heroine, an obvious psycho
(no matter how the author defends his own creation, I still think this little girl is a psycho!)
I originally misrecognized the authr as a female novelist.
In contrast, he is a male "reporter"!
well, his background does explain how he could have
so much knowledge about fossil industry and other "political"
isses.
As for the story itself, hmmmmmmmmm,
i do enjoy the fast pace and the delicate explanation of the movement of each character in the same time--
by the way, this kind of writing strategy always satisfies me,
readers who wants to know everything during the event.
still, i do not buy the heroine herself (ha~~~~~~~)
it is hard to believe a young woman (152cm, 42kg) could
"fight with the world"?
if Larsson had made his heroine less talented, the story might be more realistic
how could we imagin a extremely talented girl who could be a
hack and an expert of close fight at the same time?
at least, for me, it is so questionable.
I am still waiting for the first novel of the Millennium series
and expect to change my opinion for the time being.
Still, the novel is alluring for I finished it in no more than two days, which is around 560 pages long!

伊恩藍欽-黑與藍

THis novel comes from Tracy's recommendation. According to her, anyone who is interested in detective novel should not miss it! Accepting her suggestion, it took me a while to borrow the books from the school library. actually, it is quite different from my recent reading experience of Japanese detective novels ,which tends to be less bloody but more lighthearted depiction of the characters and the events. (I must be confused somehow, for I start writing this article several days ago to find out that I haven't finished it at all. I simply mistake it as the other novel. ) Now after more few days, I finally finish reading it and can really talk about my feeling. that is, it is sooooooooooooo complicated! probably it is because I did not follow the chronological order of Ian's books, yet the plot itself is so complex and is filled with tooooooooooooooo many characters and events. it makes me hard to understand the main issue, but keep seeing out hero geting in and getting out one after another bars. Even though, he does try to keep sober in this episode. still, the whole thing is so not my type and the ending is kind of disappointing to me as well. I could not believe that the author let go the murder (I know it is for the benefit of the sequence). Still this decision makes me really down for a while. I suddenly find out that I expect more for the moral responsibility of the detective novels than i thought i was. SO, unless you really like to play the game with the author, you may simply enjoy the plot instead of trying to figure out what was happened in every details Posted by Picasa
