富士山下

歌曲: 富士山下
歌手: 陈奕迅

拦路雨偏似雪花 饮泣的你冻吗 这风褛我给你磨到有襟花
连调了职也不怕 怎么始终牵挂 苦心选中今天想车你回家

原谅我不再送花 伤口应要结疤 花瓣铺满心里坟场才害怕
如若你非我不嫁 彼此终必火化 一生一世等一天需要代价

谁都只得那双手 靠拥抱亦难任你拥有
要拥有必先懂失去怎接受
曾沿着雪路浪游
为何为好事泪流
谁能凭爱意要富士山私有

何不把悲哀感觉 假设是来自你虚构
试管里找不到它染污眼眸
前尘硬化像石头
随缘地抛下便逃走

我绝不罕有 往街里绕过一周 我便化乌有

情人节不要说穿 只敢抚你发端 这种姿态可会令你更心酸
留在汽车里取暖 应该怎么规劝 怎么可以将手腕忍痛划损

人活到几岁算短 失恋只有更短 归家需要几里路谁能预算
忘掉我跟你恩怨 樱花开了几转 东京之旅一早比一世遥远

靠拥抱亦难为你拥有 你还嫌不够
我把这陈年风褛 送赠你解咒


好的歌词，就是那么刻骨铭心。让我想起，前些时候写的另一片部落格。。。

Fur - An Imaginary Portrait Of Diane Arbus

Synopsis:

A biopic about the life of photographer Diane Arbus, considered one of the most mysterious, enigmatic, and frighteningly bold artists of the 20th century. Most known for her obsession with 'freak' subject-matter, her haunting work emerged from a deeply private place. Arbus' death was as mysteriously tragic as was the aura surrounding some of her most piercing portraits.

Well, it prompted me to follow on the movie to discover who this protaganist is, to beautifully illustrate such a wonderfully scripted story.

here's what was obtained from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Arbus

After separating from her husband, Arbus studied and worked extensively as a photojournalist, her photos appearing in Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, Harper's Bazaar and Sunday Times magazines, among others.
Arbus' early work was created using 35mm cameras, but by the 1960s Arbus adopted the Rolleiflex medium format twin-lens reflex. This format provided a square aspect ratio, higher image resolution, and a waist-level viewfinder that allowed Arbus to connect with her subjects in ways that a standard eye-level viewfinder did not. Arbus also experimented with the use of flashes in daylight, allowing her to highlight and separate her subjects from the background.
From the period of 1963 to 1970, Arbus continued to receive excellent reviews and rewards for her outstanding works, that included many photography awards.

In July 1971, Arbus ended her own life in Greenwich Village, at the age of 48 by ingesting a large quantity of barbiturates and then cutting open her wrists. Rumors held that she photographed her suicide, but no photos were discovered by the police.
Arbus is remembered today for her photographs depicting outsiders, such as tranvestites, dwarves, giants, prostitutes, and ordinary citizens in poses and settings conveying a disturbing uncanniness. In various aspects, it may be deemed as a work of art, while some critics claim that Arbus' voyeuristic approach demeaned her subjects.

Back to the movie, it was a slow and deeply emotional story-telling that kept me enthralled to the wonderfully watchable Nicole, and the scene-stealing performance of Robert Downey Jr. The mystical and fantastic quality of the characters (such as Robert's portrayal of the man whose hair cannot never stop growing from all over his body) added some magical effect to the story.

It is such a beautiful movie to watch, seeing the great angles that the director adopted to allow the audience to observe the lady protaganist with such intensity and feel her excat emotions as the scene moves the story. Quite good direction, although not the director's best. But, it is obvious that he loves all his leading ladies in his movies. (Just as it was Maggie Gyllenhaal in Secretary)
The movie asked me to investigate, what and who do I regard as "freaks" in my world and scoiety. Are people, who are different from what you are, the people you choose to hate? Or do you hate the people who chooses to love somebody more similar to themselves, rather than you?

An Open Mind is necessary to fully understand what the movie really wanted to say for itself, and how the audience can appreciate the beauty of the different people in the world, that makes it so beautiful, as it is today.

Are you ready to accept people that are different from youself? Think about that...

Babel

Babel的原本的意思：

Main Entry: Ba·bel Pronunciation: 'bA-b&l, 'ba-Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Hebrew BAbhel, from Akkadian bAb-ilu gate of god
1 : a city in Shinar where the building of a tower is held in Genesis to have been halted by the confusion of tongues
2 often not capitalized a : a confusion of sounds or voices b : a scene of noise or confusion

Picture of the Tower of Babel

这电影的名字，实在是取得太好了！若你看了Babel, 你就了解我的意思

剧情简介： http://cn.ent.yahoo.com/060920/322/28gyn.html
在摩洛哥、突尼斯、墨西哥和日本发生的三个故事。故事以皮特和布兰切特扮演的一对美国夫妻因为婚姻危机，去摩洛哥旅行，却在旅途中遭遇不测开始。原来是因为一个摩洛哥的牧羊少年捡到一把手枪，他朝着远处发亮的东西射去，原来这个发亮的东西正是皮特和布兰切特夫妇乘坐的旅游巴士。这个少年发现自己射出的子弹远得超出了想象。它射中了布兰切特，这是整个事件的催化剂。为此这对夫妇只好逗留一段时间，这又影响了他们的保姆，这位墨西哥保姆面临着艰难的抉择，她不想错过在墨西哥边境的一场婚礼，虽然布拉德命令她在美国和孩子们呆在一起，她却打算叫她的侄子(盖尔贾西亚饰演)开车带她去参加婚礼，并且也把孩子们带上。但是若他们回程从墨西哥到美国，却可能遭到一项犯罪指控——绑架美国小孩。所以他们准备带着两个孩子非法穿越国境……
所以四个不同的群体，在三个不同的大路上，虽然都是陌生人，却产生了碰撞。他们因为一个偶然的事故使得事情无法控制，美国夫妇，反叛的日本聋哑少年和她的父亲，墨西哥保姆……这些陌生人不会相遇，同样他们也无法有意义的交流……

其实非常简单，电影故事要说的，就是人与人之间，如果没有沟通的后果。能多了解你周围的人，因该不是一件难事。但，实事上却很难办到的。我想，尝试了解，好过从来没有过。

64th Annual Golden Globes Awards 2007

Doing this blog post as I'm watching Golden Globes 2007, giving my 2cents worth lah!

The 64th Annual Golden Globes Awards 2007 - Hollywood Foreign Press Association

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture
Jennifer Hudson - Dreamgirls
What? Her? You have to be kidding me!
Nonetheless, she was dressed to fit the occasion definitely, and she shines from the rest of the nominees. But her win was a surprise to me. Although I have not seen Dreamgirls, it does appears to be the case, that Jennifer's performance is the one that the Globes loves to honour.
Never mind Cate, we'll fight another day.

I liked Emily Blunt (from Devil Wears Prada) Well, she was tensed up and mumbled her way through her lines during her speech. She's young, give her a break and she'll do fine. Keep the performances coming up in her fashion, and we'll see her at the Oscars.
Is she dating Michael Buble?

I cannot seem to be able to surf for pictures taken for the event leh!

Naomi Watts looks awkward but still brilliant in the little sequin number. Getting a little nervy huh? Well, the Babel director's name is tough to pronounce lah.

The trailer for Bobby seems very promising, a multi-talented and star-studded cast. Can't wait. (Except Helen Hunt, who's constantly mis-cast in everything she does)

Best Animated Motion Picture
Cars
Cars is a well deserved win. I've watched all three of the animated motion pictures and Cars does stand out much more than the rest. Well voiced by many artistes well animated, the idea that the votes went to honour is about the important lessons about Life that its about the journey and not the destination.

Best Actress in a Leading Role - Musical or Comedy
Meryl Streep - The Devil Wears Prada
A simply entertaining lady to watch even if she does stand-up. She has yet again proved she's the leading lady boss of Hollywood, and this is her award for the year (getting Helen Mirren out of the picture). Miranda Priestly is just the role for her to play, no other. And I loved the way she ended her speech: "That's all. " You'll know why if you share my enjoyment for Devil Why does Sacha look so embaressed by the clips for Borat? Hahahaha.... He funny man.

Toni's looking great today! She seems to be taking the back seat this year as a great supporting actress actually, and she might just have been overlooked in the wrong category. Note: Scene stealer in Night Listener

Rachel has definitely lost all her post-natal baby calories, and ready to pick up from where she left last year. Gorgeous in red, exquisite. Awaiting the Fountain

Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Motion Picture
Eddie Murphy - Dreamgirls
Its difficult to give comments for performances that i have not yet to enjoy, but Eddie's performance is reputedly top-rated and nothing short of fantastic. He could have won in the momentum of Dreamgirls to his advantage. Much preferred Jack to win though, cos he really scared the piss out of me.

Helen is just in a lucky and a well-deserved winning streak this year. She's getting the wonderful credits for playing queens so dramatically perfect.

Oh my Cameron, Its Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs, not Internal Affairs (makes it sound like some sex scandal movie)

As you can tell by now, I am not excatly into American TV. The names would all be unfamiliar to be except those who crossed over and back again. Hahah, celebrate and worship the big screen only.

Abigail Breslin - For Little Miss Sunshine - I love her, although she seems a little bit too grown up now. Bright girl, bright future.

The amazingly-overworked-for-this-year Kate Winslet, looking pretts for the camera. Will she win? i don't think so, its not her year, and she probably wont be awarded for her dilligence.

Best Original Score - The Painted Veil
Another reason to watch this majorly overlooked film. Pity the lack of acting nominations.

Best Screenplay went to The Queen - for an utterlt brilliant and smart piece of fiction. Well, a good strong win, based on the media hype generated for the movie i suppose, with other great nominations in the tailback.

The great win for Clint this year would only be for Iwojima definitely, garnered sufficient hype initially, but he didnt carry it through, unfortunately. A lucky year for the Eastwood franchaise.

there are definitely a lot of other fantastic gals and guys that i have overlooked, but there's just too many fantastic performances this year to not do that. I humbly apologise...

How lovely it is to get these three fantastic actresses to do a cover together! Judi, Meryl and Helen!

Best Director - Motion Picture
Martin Scorsese - The Departed
The crowds have been dying to give the honour to Martin again, but a chance rarely comes by. Since Clint have divided votes for two movies (that should have only been one), Martin deserves his honour this year.
Sigh, another divided year of awards...

Best Actor in a Leading Role - Comedy/Musical
Sacha Baron Cohen - Borat
Well-deservedly given to his honour for this that made another triumphant mark in comedy. Great funny speech for those who watched Borat. Funny!
He is British, mind you, great manners!

Best Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical
Dreamgirls
More credit to make it a great and watchable movie to look out for. Yes! plenty of dancing and singing will be good for the market of drama-mumble this season.
Same impact that Walk The Line did for last year. Somehow musicals are stronger.

Best Actress in a Leading Role - Drama
Helen Mirren - The Queen
She will progress for her Oscar win! Go Helen! Its your year!
As much as i would like to see Kate win this, I know Helen is deserving. Work on hard Kate!

Best Actor in a Leading Role - Drama
Forest Whitaker - The Last King of Scotland
Following the previous awards given to Forest, this should be a good movie to look out for. Not that the rest of the nominees lost, they all had sufficient to gain I'm sure. the script worked for the african artistes for the past years, and this year just continued the tradition.

Best Motion Picture - Drama
Babel
I dunno what to say man. haha. havent seen this but im sure now i have a lot to look forward to.

漫游UrbaNite

很喜欢在每次次值完班过后，留在《漫游UrbaNite》 的事段，和威 与栋 一起聊天。有时可能就在一旁静静的听他们聊爵士， 听听平常比较少机会听得到的音乐，然后多了解爵士的故事。似乎，自己也从中对音乐看得更清楚一点，把脑袋放开，多接触流行音乐以外的世界。有时就可能说话说得太多了吧！（聊起电影我往往意犹未尽）。更难能可贵的，是认识了两位好朋友，教会了我很多很多。得对两位说声“谢谢”。继续在周六的UrbaNite里漫游吧！

to put up a picture for my profile

Apocalypto

I have been seeing the movie trailer for more than a few time in the cinema by now. Apocalypto has gathered so much hype and media tension, that it has increased its watchability by many fold (including the personal social comments that the director like to give)

The most interesting thing about it would probably be that it is a cast of unknown actors (all sourced from Mexico City) whom I read that they played out the story and performed brilliantly, for first-timers. This is largely celebrated by Hollywood critics for making the effort to create the most "original" movie ever, when you can not even recognise a single actor, and taking in only their acting, the plot shifts and the story telling.

Well, Ii shouldn't be commenting too much on the movie, becos i have yet to see it. Come next tuesday, after the 1003 screening, I will do a full update! Regarding what I think of the movie and things like that. Woo Hoo! Everybody loves free movies!

电影 Stranger than Fiction

This is a story about a man named Harold Crick and his wristwatch. In her story.

Hmmm...

Or rather, Harold's life is in the hands and under the pen of severely deranged and writer-blocked author Kay. Ouch.

Imagine that, you are powerless about your own life, and everything you do, learn, feel, behave, say, breathe and etc, is controlled by an unknown power, that annoyingly narrates to you from an elevated angle, over and over about what you are doing at the very instant. Freaky, eh?


p/s 1 - look at the banner over the shop window and read it aloud to yourself now.



And when Harold meets the smart, intelligent, rebellious, tax-evading, pretty, tattoo-adorned, loud-mouth and completely irresistable Ana, a wonderful baking girl with a gorgeous cafe of a bakery, Love happens...

"It feels as natural as milk and cookies"


But as the tragic hero realises his ultimate fate, what is to become of him? What would you do, if you only have less than 1 day to live, know you will die, and the way you die from the person who simply decided that you have to. Would you face it bravely or would you run away?

Examine your own life now. Are you simply living it the way that the tide is moving up and down the shoreline, and the sun and moon switch places in the sky?
Or, perhaps, you should live it like the wind changes and the comets fall ablaze?


p/s 2 - these are not lines from the movie. Please read them and understand them

Have you ever tried sitting on a bus service and not getting off, watching the scenary, breathing the air breeze, reading your favourite from cover to cover and looking at the people you normally wouldn't raise your eyes at?

Have you ever tried to walk to the places that you've always wanted to visit but never went, and treating the visit like you will never be able to come back again?

Stranger Than Fiction is this little gem of a small movie that will make you investigate your own life that you are living in right now. And, its time for a change. Because, change in life, will not make you strange, but keeps you alive and not to live it any less different or similar, and fully worthwhile.

石磨坊

还记得上一次到香港时，是六月几的夏天，当时刚好约了从香港到本地念书的大学同学，让他带我去吃当地美食。我的粤语不象话，只好依赖我朋友帮我代言了。正巧，他就带我去了<<石磨坊>>这一家远近驰名，专买甜点的小食店。而这一次我就误打误撞的找到在油麻地的一家分店，真是太高兴了！

里头有着芒果, 淋上甜甜黑芝麻酱汁, 外加椰奶! 实在是冬天解寒解馋的极品!

这一个星期

刚过去的这一个星期, 其实对我来说, 好象只是过了一天而已, 因为时间实在是过的太快了. 一转眼, 下个星期, 我又得回到学校上课了, 所以, 这个星期就花在将所有应准备好的东西安排妥当, 将课程表排好. 好在, 下个学期, 也就是我的最后一个学期, 除了专题研究报告以外, 我只须报三个科目! 真是不幸中之大幸! 而且, 课程表也是容易应付的!

虽然有说过要将在香港玩时所拍的照片放上网, 但因目前, 照相机还在我朋友的手上, 所以, 请稍安勿燥, 很快就会为大家讲故事了.

有好多东西要写，但是却没有办法一次将全部的所思所想一起写下来。最好的应对方法就是将我拍摄到的照片整理好，然后在找主题来发挥一下，不知道合大家的心意吗？
