巴黎我愛你

as i mentioned in the article about NY, I Love You,
personal awareness of a specific city is kind of the criterion to
evaluate if the film is successful

to me, Paris, I Love You is undoubtedly the winner of the two

the reasom is simple

i have the luck to be in Paris when I was young

(this idiom comes from somewhere.... but i can't remember it right now)　

twice!

Is Paris a city of Love?
Is Paris a city of Lovers?
Yes and Yes
i would certainly agree to these two questions
Paris is a city of love
Paris is a city of lovers

as for the movie,
probably, it is composed of mostly European directors,
the aura is more sophisticated, intellectual-like,
more delicated,
everything in Paris is beautiful.

also, this one is less Benetton style
in NY,I love you, we see how these Americans
strive to include the story of all people"s"
(they even asked 那塔莉波曼 to act like that)

My favorite story is the one with the father
who is voluntary to take care of his grandchild in ordr his daughter
could still enjoy her life.

the love between them is really so touching
on the other hand,
the worst one is certainly 杜可風's
my comment is
just try to be a photographer for gooooooooood

紐約我愛你

There is definitely something wrong of my blogger
it keeps keeping me away from upload new articles
probably it , finally, finds out that it should preserve its source
for more meaningful staffs.

i did see the movie in the wrong order,
i mean,
i should have seen Paris J'taime before New York, I Love You.
Still whatever,
do i like the movie?
well it is not a new attempt to shoot a film
this way-to combine several shorter sections--to
demonstrate the atmosphere of a city

city and love
the two essential elements thing in the film
are they shown well?
I doubt,
the image of new york as an unbran city is never something new
the image of NY as a city full of love, well
it looks like love could have happened anywhere.

or,
the search of the uniqueness of NY city
has been replaced by
the uniqueness of those amazing directors.

in other words, you would be awed by the interesting stories,
the acting of the wonderful actors and actress,
or the splendid shooting skill

as for these and NY city,
i am really not so sure about their connection.

but i do confess
this sense is very probably caused by my unfamilierity of NY city.

still, there is one story that I love in the film,
the one with a young man cheating by an shopkeeper and
his actress daughter.
the way the youth making love under (or on?) the tree in the park
is realyl hilarious and unforgettable

it is very clever and funny.
as for the rest,
i hate the ethnic issue and the benetton style
which, unfortuntely American are crazy about

actually it is kind of hard to decide whether i like this film or not,
as a not so much feminism advocator,
it seems i should like it
however, as a neo conversative who wichedly alters one's position
in terms of different events and happenings,
i am reluctant to say i totally agree what happened in the film.

the psychological of the mother leads to the suppressive life of the daughter,
affecting her whole life, and turning her into someone she does not like

well,
it is definitely a cliche in feminist thinking.
the awakening of the woman always comes to late
and from time to time, leading to the corruption of the original lifestyle.

i do think there are ways to compomise between what she wants to be
and what she should be

the total breakup is hardly a modern strategy for modern women,
who know how to adjust themselves in this still slightly over patriarchal society

being able to survive in job is not equal to suppressive personality
and the anxiety to be perfect.

can't there exist someone who is born to be perfect?

perfect might not be hard and tiring for some women.

i am not that kind of women but i do believe they exist somewhere out there

so, if you are a big fan of feminism, you might pretty enjoy the film
if you are not, probably you would be inspire by it

重案對決Law Abiding Citizen

there must be something wrong about my blogger
probably i've uploaded too many unmeaningful articles
and unfail film reviews.

anyway it kind of forbids me to upload pics
and i decide to give up that function.

出　　品：The Film Department

導演：編劇：演員：蓋瑞葛雷

寇特威默傑瑞德巴特勒蕾絲莉畢柏傑米福克斯

this film is led by Gerard Butler who owns probably the
most perfect body in hollywood these days.

(lucky for jennifer annestern!)
basically,
the story is cliche:
innocent people murdered and killed without reason.

and it turns out to be the modern 基督山恩仇記
though the protagonist isn't sentenced to prision

so if you are a big fan of muscle,
you might want to take a look of the film.

or, the logic is really weird and unbearable

500 Days of Smmer 戀夏五百日

發行商：福斯

Dolby Digital 導演：編劇：演員：馬克偉柏史考特諾伊史達特

喬瑟夫高登拉維特柔伊黛絲錢妮馬修格雷古柏勒

one of the reason the film success is definitely the heroine, Zooey Deschanel and her uniqle characteristic.
being the one with the rare magic attractive power mentioned in the film, this young actress certainly
has won herself a place in Hollywood.

With her perfect teeth, sky blye eyes and the invunerable smile, she has made numerous young guys
allured in her previous films. As for this one, it is sure one that designs for her.

I doubt if any girl would not envy the heroine in the film. even though we might be sexy and hot, we still secretly expect that we are also like an ariel who is childish and girlish at the same time.
It is not easy to be a weird girl, for mosy of us are pretty "normal"....

though in the very beginning of the film the director has told as that
what we are going to see is not a "love story". still it is a love story with a not so lovely ending.
it reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), for both depict less the sweetness of love but the suffering one might experienced while being in love.

THe film is great and probably perfect for lovers. it does provide a chance to reevaluate our love.
Woo~~~~
if it doesn't work out well, could we simply break up just like the film taught?

another Heath Ledger's last film and
another weid film

it is understandable that fox wants to see this film, for Johnny Depp also performes in it.
however, i am really surprised while seeing so
many people also want to see it outside the ticket office.

it is weird.....
the film is undoubtedly going to be weird
dont' they known?

as for the film itself, i am aware later the fact that after Leger died, the director asked the other three actors to fil in his part.

however, if the story is originally going to be that way, i might not be too surprised as well.

the story seems to tell lots of things
and once again, i completely ignore that
hahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~~

nevertheless, the herione is an amazing model
and she looks gorgerous in the film.
especially, in the scene she is dreseed up as a goddredd naked with her long golden hair covering her brast, that is a painting-like pretty.

so if you cannot understand the film like me, just
enjoy the beauty of the heroine

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!

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 ~~~~~~~~

日劇 Mr. Brian-木村拓哉呀~

真是一部該怎麼說好呢? 的日劇

看報導好像在日本也沒有多好的評價

一來女主角凌瀨遙跟木村好像是真的有那麼一點不珮

再則

這種劇情不是比比皆是了咩

先不說木村自己就演過hero

還有一個福山雅治的版本呢

再說更早一點還有古鈿任三郎

演了又演的老情節時再是不大容易演出一點新味來

這應該也就是為什麼整部日劇找了一堆大牌來幫忙助陣

從小雪到仲間由紀惠都快要分不清是要看誰了

唯一的意外之喜應該是shiho

但是從他少的可以的戲份看來

這種風騷老闆娘居然不常出現

應該就是因為他本人演技真的很差

model還是應該鐺鐺Model就好了了

最後遽說原來女主角應該是出現在片頭的廣末良子

但是因為木村嫌他泰老把他換掉

看完整部日劇

我只能說木村你真是不會挑女主角啊

(these girls look much prettier in this pic)

I know this film from the blog of Gossip Girl
which is one of the most popular series in America rignt now
Blake Lively, the one on the left upper side, is the heroine of GG
I could not hope but love this kind of young and energetic teenager

the title of the film tells everything about the film--
the sisterhoond of the traveling pants
By telling the summer adventures of four girl,
the story shows us how hard or happy our life could be

as for my commant...
If you were not the big fan of GG, probably should feel bored
But, could be suitable for high school teacher to play in class.

我到底該怎麼形容這一佈也是當年奧斯卡強片的電影呢?
我的歷史一值都很差地理可能是緊接在後
長大以後更是依直覺得搞不好去念自然組也不會是太錯誤的選擇

沒錯就是歷史這個大問題搞的我看很多有講到歷史人物的故事都很頭痛

(當然有人會說這電影中的人還不到 "歷史人物")

也就是因為這樣害我得要很小心的寫這一篇文章
總絕得說不好看得化就顯得握非常膚淺
