電影中，
有現實；
故事裡，
有勢利。
這陣子，接連（頻繁地）看了幾部電影
很有感想，眼淚跟憤怒的情緒混在一塊兒
喟然，忿忿不平，好像也只能這樣了。

－＋－ Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps －＋－
Now out of prison but still disgraced by his peers, Gordon
Gekko works his future son-in-law, an idealistic stock broker,
when he sees an opportunity to take down a Wall Street enemy
and rebuild his empire.
Director: Oliver Stone
Stars: Shia LaBeouf, Michael Douglas, Carey Mulligan

Greed is good?
Money never sleeps?
Time is assets?
鬥法、智取、炫富
然後崩盤、瓦解，回到人性，歸零
這樣的劇碼實在是太引人注目了。
從華爾街第一集到安隆風暴
通常富人之間的金錢遊戲是最可怕、殘酷的
他們跟政客一樣, 就像社會的掠食者, 食物鏈的最高級
偽善的面具與施以薄利的慈善事業或所謂的社會回饋
讓他們誤以為他們真能矇過大眾的眼睛, 而定型為好人
殊不知他們一面用市場機制操作著社會正義
另一方面, 再用人性貪嗔的弱點交易著人性尊嚴
有時候, 政客不是無能, 只是它們從中有利可圖
而企業主更不是無感, 這根本是賽局中最動人的部分
無止盡的浪費、剝削, 導致日積月累的負債和貧富差距
而它, 源於官商勾結…和放任自己無知但盲從的愚民們！
－＋－ Kongen av Bastøy －＋－
In Norwegian winter, early 20th century, on the boys home
Bastoy, a new inmate leads the boys to a violent uprising
against a brutal regime. How far is he willing to go to attain
freedom?
Director: Marius Holst
Stars: Stellan Skarsgård, Benjamin Helstad, Kristoffer Joner
－＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－
當大家在一片粉紅瑩光海中瘋GaGa時
我們跑去一片深藍雪白的北國孤島中
感受不人道的高壓管束教育。
對白很少, 瀕臨窒息的氣氛...
原來鐵的紀律是如此操作的
那是二十世紀初, 世界仍然混沌不明的時代！
－＋－ Relative Stranger －＋－
On a mission to locate his biological parents, a tightly
wound professional (Livingston) is befuddled to find that
the couple who conceived him aren't exactly upper-class.
Director: Greg Glienna
Stars: Danny DeVito, Kathy Bates, Ron Livingston
－＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－
從喜劇的角度來看, 整體來說並不好看
不過這個故事其實很現實...
讓人不禁反思同情與悲憫心背後的勢利態度和偽善面
真的是: Don't be hypocrite or pretend that you care!
－＋－ Carnage －＋－
Two pairs of parents hold a cordial meeting after their
sons are involved in a fight, though as their time together
progresses, increasingly childish behavior throws the
evening into chaos.
Director: Roman Polanski
Stars: Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz
－＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－
這部片太好笑了, 莫名其妙地寫實...
場景只有一間公寓, 豐富的角色衝擊
人性中的劣根性和修養一覽無遺。
細微的觀察與描摹
導演、劇本、演員都可表現地可圈可點
太幽默詼諧的劇情跟對話了
－＋－ Extraordinary Measures －＋－
A drama centered on the efforts of John and Aileen Crowley
to find a researcher who might have a cure for their two
children's rare genetic disorder.
Director: Tom Vaughan
Stars: Brendan Fraser, Keri Russell, Harrison Ford
－＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－
I kind of like this one, but it's too fine to be real,
but anyway, it still seems to be based on a real story.
－＋－ Halt auf freier Strecke －＋－
Director: Andreas Dresen
Stars: Steffi Kühnert, Milan Peschel, Talisa Lilly Lemke
－＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－
這部真的有感人, 害我頻頻拭淚的
最近對生離死別的故事, 都招架不住。
它讓我想到[姐姐的守護者]跟[陪你到最後]
這種戲, 就是不用太灑狗血、不要激情
節奏緩慢地、順其自然地, 反而最深刻...
－＋－ Prometheus －＋－
A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind
on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of
the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save
the future of the human race.
Director: Ridley Scott
Stars: Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall-Green, Michael Fassbender
－＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－
Prometheus真是一個奇怪的故事
狀似很有邏輯, 但卻很多難以想通的地方
故事跟idea很有趣, 尤其是知道它是[異形]的前傳之後
Anyway, 一切從fun & easy的角度來看
是recommendable的。

－＋－ Salmon Fishing in the Yemen －＋－
A fisheries expert is approached by a consultant to help realize
a sheik's vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert
and embarks on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove
the impossible possible.
Director: Lasse Hallström
Stars: Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, Amr Waked
－＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－ －＋－
看了這部片, 完全是衝著Ewan McGregor, 但其實還蠻有趣的。
This one is completely British.
Stories, people and jokes are all UK style.
The main role, Dr. Jones, keep recalling me of my
ex-boss, Michael Gau.
Without much sense of humor, he does tell jokes in
brilliant language, and just behaves sort of nerdy and
stubborn, but stick to being professional.
The whole story is al about something ridiculous but
theoretically practical.
It depends on nothing but faith and persistence.
－＋－ Lost in Paradise －＋－
Khoi, a naive twenty-year-old, travels to Ho Chi Minh City
from the countryside to begin a new life. It's his first time
in the big city and he's looking for a place to live.
He befriends Dong, a handsome extrovert who offers to
share his apartment. When Khoi goes to check the place
out, he meets Lam, who also appears to be living there.
Khoi decides to stay, but while he showers, Dong and Lam –
who turn out to be boyfriends - run off with all his cash and
belongings.
It's not long before Lam is himself abandoned by Dong, and
winds up back on the street as a prostitute. Meanwhile the
penniless and disillusioned Khoi takes on menial jobs to survive.
Lam and Khoi are eventually reunited, and despite Lam's past
actions, the two become closer and closer - even though Khoi
becomes more and more troubled by Lam's dangerous source
of income.
At the same time, Cuoi, a mentally handicapped man abandoned
by his family, attempts to befriend a female prostitute. Her pimps
do not take kindly to his hanging around and scaring away
customers, but she takes pity on him and ultimately becomes his
protector.
Director: Ngoc Dang Vu
Stars: Manh Hai Luong, Vinh Khoa Ho, Linh Son

這部戲, 的確是大膽露骨, 從越南的電影經驗來看
相較於之前看的[紅蘋果的誘惑], 這部片較淺顯卻更深刻
保守的社會、壓抑的靈魂, 底層的喜怒哀樂、七情六慾
妓男、同志、性工作者, 本來就是很容易發揮的題材
讓我想到許多以前看過的類似故事的電影
只是故事背景發生在越南, 更添一點神秘色彩。
