What happen when we get older

Everyone gets younger once in a while. For me, I have to stay young most of the time. Literally. I mean, I try to be serious and all, and behave like an adult. But man, how can I?

Despite of all those unforgiving white hairs that start to crawl on my temple, my companions refuse to let me grow old.

We scribble on empty paper together, pretending to draw a better world, while trying to guess what the others try to express. We laugh at that ugly monster, we love it, and then we frame it up. It becomes the painting of the house, for that week.

There is no time for tiring affairs, as if we fear that the whole world would be gone in split seconds. Why would we waste time on other love when you know you already own it all.

They always are news of the day, there for you to immerse yourself into a kind of love that you wouldn't want to call it quit. And you know, no others can come between.

How to know such love exist, and last forever? When you wouldn't want another, and you wouldn't want to exchange it even for heaven.

It becomes so sad when you come to think about there is still so much to give, and wanted to give again. Every year we were refresh, knowing that there is another year to give. We ask to let us give, we want to.

You have only one family in a life time. Like life, there is no turning back. Make it count and worthwhile. We pray for your well being. Godspeed, for hope, for you all.

夜观,十月围城

我不是很喜欢鲁迅,但喜欢他的文学集。尤其是那篇“这样的战士”,不可言欲的悲呛,不能胜而又不得不面对的局,要用几滴墨才能点得清楚。我时时在想,如果鲁迅生在此时,又是一位影评,不知他会对现在的第八艺术作出什么评论。

我有时爱用直觉去衡量一部电影的好坏。我不否认,“十月围城”听起来颇有韵味,之中让人期待有兵豪马壯之景,千刀万剑交叉之声。我相当喜欢这样的剧名,命名者有艺术家的文思,能触动爱电影者的遐想。不错。

英文名“Bodyguards And Assassins"却马马虎虎。让人觉得不爽,好像是找不到好名,随便便阿猫阿狗的凑上了。敢情是觉得这部戏,反正洋人也看不懂。也不用多废唇舌,对牛谈琴。

不知道是不是有意,编剧好像故意舍孙中山这个名,戏里由始至终,竟只有孙文。哈!中山没了,变成了文皱皱的孙文,好像有点含沙射影。那为什么不用孙逸仙呢?我可觉得这是个更好的选择。

十月围城算是部相当严肃的戏吧?可是为什么当我看见满脸胡子的黎明,躺在那里,木然的掉下泪时,却忍不住的笑了?

王学圻在戏中给我留下相当深刻的印象,尤其是他重复梁家辉话的那幕,结结巴巴,充分的表现出市侩了数十年的商人,初明大义时,尚不知如何以口齿表达的状况。演技到足了家,这实在是个非常适合他的角色。他,是这部戏的焦点。

戏里不够好的地方,莫过于甄子丹和戏里女儿的那场,小女孩天真,害臊的表情自然,眼光不自然不用说,谁都知道要让小孩表演有多困难。甄子丹没达到当一位父亲第一次认识女儿,但又想到不久可能就要永远分离,终于了解到当父情的意义,时候不多了。好。。好像对他有点太难了。甄子丹要演真正感情戏恐怕还需一段时候。

十月围城令人期待高,却有点漏气。三颗半星,看不看由你。
