一个记者报道了和政府相关的丑闻,引起全国轰动。而另外一些媒体却揪住报道中的细节不放,最后连该记者的东家都出来承认该报道确有偏颇之处。主人公当选为年度新闻人物,同时愤而辞职。几年后头中两枪身亡,判为自杀。这不仅是电影《Kill the Messenger》的情节,而是发生在美国加州硅谷的事实。 看完不知咋地就想起了最近的一个纪录片。不要瞎联想!俺的想法估计和你猜的不一样。。。
昨天与二丫头一起去看了两部电影,其中一部是“ The Perks of Being a Wallflower ”。二丫头女读过这本书,很喜欢。电影拍得也非常不错,真实而感人。虽然说的都是青少年的事情,但成年人也值得一看。一是因为我们也年轻过,二是因为它能帮助我们更好地了解我们的孩子。喜欢“ The Perks of Being a Wallflower ”中的一些 Quotes ,它们让我心有感触。我把它们下载到这里,与大家分享。 1."why do the people we love the most hurt us the most, it isbecause we accept the love we think we deserve. ” 2. “So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.” 3. “It's much easier to not know things sometimes. Things change and friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody. I wanted to laugh. Or maybe get mad. Or maybe shrug at how strange everybody was, especially me. I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and than make the choice to share it with other people. You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things. I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is. And we could all sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn't do or what they didn't know. I don't know. I guess there could always be someone to blame. It's just different. Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it's okay to feel things. I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite. I feel infinite.” 4. “And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.” 5. “I would die for you. But I won't live for you.” 6. “So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.” 7. “I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.” 8. “I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.” 9. “It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.” 10. “Enjoy it. Because it's happening.” 11. “And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.” 12. “This moment will just be another story someday.” 13. “And all the books you've read have been read by other people. And all the songs you've loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people. and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity'.” 14. “I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.” 15. “It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.” 16. “He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.” 17. “I walked over to the hill where we used to go and sled. There were a lot of little kids there. I watched them flying. Doing jumps and having races. And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough. I think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't.” 18. “Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.” 19. “I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. Maybe that is what makes people "participate.” 20. “And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad.” 21. “The inside jokes weren't jokes anymore. They had become stories. Nobody brought up the bad names or the bad times. And nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia. ” 22. “I don't even remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere.” 23. “It's just hard to see a friend hurt this much. Especially when you can't do anything except 'be there.' I just want to make him stop hurting, but I can't. So I just follow him around whenever he wants to show me his world.” 24. “I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.” http://infinitinb.net/COFFdD0xMzU0NDc3MTA0Jmk9OTguMjQ3LjE0NC4yMiZ1PVNvbmdzL3YxL2ZhaW50UUMvOTkvNzg0NmI1ZTA1Y2ZhMmFmZTM0ZjUwZThlMGM5MzhhOTkubXAzJm09NmE1YzMyODM2NWY4ZTJhYzVlNTQ3MzIxMmZkOGJkMWEmdj1saXN0ZW4mbj1DaGFybGllJ3MlMjBMYXN0JTIwTGV0dGVyJTIwKE1pY2hhZWwlMjBCcm9vaykmcz2159Ow1K3J+SZwPXM=.mp3 Charlie's Last Letter --- from movie 《The Perks of Being a Wallflower》

刚看完电影《People Like Us》,电影主人公Sam的父亲曾告诉他6条人生经验,觉得蛮有意思,搬到这里与大家分享。 1. If you like something because you think other people are gonna like it, it's a sure bet no one will. 2.Most doors in the world are closed, so if you find one that you want to get into, you damn well better have an interesting knock. 3. Everything that you think is important isn't, everything that you think is unimportant is. 4. Don't shit where you eat (mataphorically speaking). 5.Lean into it. --- It means that the outcome doesn't matter, what matter is that you are there for it. Whatever "it" is, good or bad. 6. Never sleep with someone who has more problems than you. 这6条人生经验里有2条有些偏颇,但也不无道理。俺最喜欢第5条,很符合俺“走过、路过、不错过”的口号(俺6年前就有这个口号了 )。我们总是做着当时自认为对的事情,对结果,我们无能为力,“活过了”才是最要的。所以,结果怎么样由不得我们,关键在于人生体验。第4条也不错,俺有时候一激动,一不小心就会在自己吃饭的地方拉屎(譬如与 LD 讲道理),这个以后要注意。
这部电影讲的虽然是美国的故事,但是我认为其他地方也一样适用。我保证很多人不会喜欢这部电影,甚至觉得根本无法接受。但是如果你喜欢的话,那么这里先和你握一下手,亲切地叫一声“同志”! “God Bless America" uses, with absolute precision, a scalpel to peel back layer after disturbing layer of American shallowness and cruelty. Incorporating elements of mindless pop culture, media propaganda, and reality TV cruelty and bravado, this movie perfectly illustrates the all too real (and sudden) cultural cancer that people nowadays consider entertainment. It is simultaneously hilarious and morbid.”
电影院试映,同事从网站打了票,邀我一起去看。 美国主旋律贺岁片:下岗、撤军、爱情、友情、亲情(父女、母女)、初恋、新生、死亡、信仰、希望.......纽约! 明星云集,老的、少的都有,最惊喜是见到了久违的米歇尔·菲佛,整部电影,她的表演也最出彩。 她刚出场的时候,真没认出来,衰老、憔悴、疏离、胆怯。待剧情展开,有个镜头,她的眼睛还是那么闪闪发亮,又带着狡黠的光彩,非常迷人,想想她都50多了。《纯真年代》里,丹尼尔·戴·刘易斯俯身在她的裙裾,那镜头的痛与无奈,多少年都忘不了。 罗伯特·德·尼罗和希拉里·斯旺克关于父女的段落害我泪水落了一脸,尤其女儿赶回父亲的病床,父亲握着女儿的手放在嘴边轻轻地吻了一下,简直是致命一刀。 沙拉·杰西卡·派克的段落最糟糕,对她实在喜欢不起来。所以看到电影结局那个镜头,觉得倒胃之极。同事和我都认为最后一个镜头令得这电影从80分落到了不及格~~~~~~~~~ 片尾曲是Pink的Raise your glasses,局中人都随着音乐起舞,或许新年的时候也该找个地方去跳舞了。 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjVNlG5cZyQ Don't be fancy, just get dancey Why so serious? So raise your glass if you are wrong In all the right ways All my underdogs, we will never, never be Anything but loud and nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
1. Other People's Money 看完后我想起一个人,嘉木。片中的那个女律师,就是嘉木演的啊。 2. Quantum of Solace 最新的007 大英帝国真的没落了,国际谍场 上007窘迫得连酱油都木得打了。 3. In Time 极深刻的主题,时间就是钱,时间就是命。穷人用命换钱,富人拿钱买命。
白蛇传说,多么坑爹的传说。 据说,巨力影视投资1.8亿拍摄这部片子,我很怀疑,这家公司真的有这么多钱么?在这步模仿青蛇的电影中,画面还是不错的。我想象中的许仙,应该是俊逸潇洒翩翩美少年,可是白蛇传说中的许仙,是西子湖畔的一个正义青年农民,他是那样的憨厚淳朴,那样的傻傻呆呆,已经让我分不清是编剧的设定,还是巨力影视杨总裁的本色演出。。。 花开两朵,各表一枝。说完总裁,再来谈谈执行总裁黄童靴。从以往经历来看,黄总裁是很有个性的现代女青年。果然,在白蛇传说中,黄总裁成功地将她对人生的思考融入白蛇的表演中,于是我们看到了一个性如烈火爱夫如命的白娘子,一点都不像赵雅芝王祖贤版本的那般温柔婉约,明明就是一个坏脾气的天蝎座。。。 猩球崛起,奔向自由。 我承认,我是一个很感性的人,总是容易被文字欺骗。。。乍一看,还以为猿类要独霸天下,和人类一决雌雄。于是,期待啊期待,终于看到小猿叫凯撒,看到猿类的智商刷刷地增长,就像我在爱坛的积分一样,更是按捺不住的期待和兴奋。到头来,原来,它们只是渴望奔向那片红杉林。啊,好木出息的凯撒。。。 当然,奔向自由这个主题还是蛮不错的。人生而自由,却无往不来不在枷锁之中。我们受这份苦,是我们人类的原罪,猩猩们是无辜的。从这个意义上说,我的心轻微地感动了那么一点点,就那么一点点。。。 失恋33天,不够悲情的失恋 经历过失恋的人都知道,那是多么伤心痛楚悲怆无言的感受!当年俺疗伤一年对其她女生都毫无感觉,她居然33天就结束了,还有了新欢!这让我非常的愤愤不平,导演,编剧,你们知道什么是爱情吗?爱情这么容易过去吗?你说这女孩,也就头几天还有个失恋的样子,后面那些天莺歌燕舞的,难怪大老王对90后看不惯,我也看不惯。这是什么啊?世风日下! 话说回来,女猪脚还不错,感觉蛮舒服的。那个满嘴梦话的小梦幻,其实也是蛮不错的,我说的是长相。女猪脚问成功男为什么喜欢小梦幻,这个问题问得好,文艺女青年和213女青年的对决,值得大家深思。我先表个态,女猪脚,你什么都比小梦幻好,你不物质,你浪漫,你重视爱情,但你赋予了爱情太多的意义,你的爱情太复杂太难以取悦,会让很多男人承担不起你的爱情。你想要的,他给不了。当然,一定要二选一,我还是只好选择你。。 当幸福来敲门, 又回顾了一次,依然触动内心最深处。让我们以史密斯那段话结尾:You Got a Dream... You Gotta Protect It. People Can't Do Something Themselves, They Wanna Tell You You Can't Do It. If You Want Something, Go Get It.
