Mad City Jun 16, 2007

Dustin Hoffmann 和 John Travolta 演的電影很多,這部電影對兩人來說只是隨便演演,重要的只是對媒體沒有好感的題材。這部 1997 年的電影一般評價不高,由於題材對媒體不利,所以媒體當然不予青睞。

不過,從這部電影最能看出媒體操縱民意的做法,有良心的媒體人根本無法生存,小老百姓的判斷能力則完全受到呈現信息的媒體操弄,人的生死全由媒體掌控,尤其是沒有提供其它觀點的媒體存在時,現實的呈現可以任由媒體選擇觀點操縱,形成一面倒的意識型態,普通人可以變成窮凶惡極的匪徒,心地齷齪的人也可以變成英雄榜樣。基於這一點,這部電影就值得細細品味。

蘇菲的決擇,要看 Jun 16, 2007

這部 1982 年殺青的電影相當震撼人心,它描述了受難者的一生如何被他們的苦難扭曲人格,無法正常生活。讓我最不能忘懷的是最後一幕,鏡頭緩緩拉開遠離兩位主角自殺後的那張床,旁白響起 Emily Dickinson 的詩句:

Ample make this bed.
Make this bed with awe;
In it wait till judgment break
Excellent and fair.

Be its mattress straight,
Be its pillow round;
Let no sunrise’ yellow noise
Interrupt this ground.


這樣的言語說有多淒涼就有多淒涼。

The movie opens showing a Princeton University admissions board reviewing freshman applications and reading the essays that accompany them. The question for the essay is, “Who has been the most influential person in your life?” The reviewers are met with unremarkable answers and uninteresting explanations, but one essay stands out: that of Cristina Moreno (Shelbie Bruce), who cites her mother Flor (Paz Vega) as the most influential person in her life. Cristina proceeds to explain, and the movie begins to unfold.

Flor Moreno is a divorcee mother from Mexico who has crossed the border into the United States with her young daughter Cristina, in search of a better life. With no home, the two travel the United States with little hope for the future. Over time, Cristina becomes fluent in the English language, but her mother refuses to break the language barrier, choosing instead to seclude herself in the Latin community where she and her daughter live.

Eventually, however, it becomes clear that Flor cannot simply lock herself and Cristina in their own world forever, and she is forced to take a job. Flor settles in as a housekeeper for the Clasky family, which is composed of a successful chef named John (Sandler), his insecure wife Deborah (Leoni), their two children Bernice (Sarah Steele) and Georgie (Ian Hyland), and Deborah's mother, retired singer Evelyn (Cloris Leachman). Though the Claskys and Flor cannot understand one another, Flor tries to help out around the house as best as she can, even helping Bernice and Georgie during Deborah’s outbursts.

Flor learns that as rich as the Claskys are, they have issues that are equal to, if not worse than, her own. She learns that John is an emotional man (a far cry from the tough, macho Latino men she is accustomed to being around), and that like herself, Deborah is unable to understand what is best for her family and what makes them happy. To make matters worse, Deborah and John’s marriage is on the rocks. This difficult situation is just the proverbial "calm before the storm"....


这部片子里值得探讨的人生问题,不只是“家家有本难念的经”,还有文化差异和语言沟通的问题。片中小女孩 Cristina 扮演 consecutive interpreter 的角色,只有一个字可以形容:Remarkable!

STEVEN SPIELBERG'S 'MUNICH': The Morality of Revenge Jun 20, 2007

"Munich" is a thrilling, highly ambitious political statement, because it declines to demonize and because even the terrorists it portrays show human traits -- and because it raises the fundamental question of whether and how democracies should retaliate against terrorists without jeopardizing their own fundamental civil views and ideals.

... Spielberg is telling us that 1972 and 2001 are connected. The message that viewers can take along from the film is that revenge begets revenge and violence begets violence. The greatest enemies in the Middle East aren't the Palestinians or the Israelis, says Spielberg. Instead, the real enemy is "absolute irreconcilability."

There is no question that one can connect the dots from Munich to New York. What began back in 1972 still holds the world in suspense today. The age of international terrorism -- complete with aircraft hijackings, hostage-taking and attacks on innocent civilians -- began in the early 1970s, when the Vietnam War came to an end and the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, moved into a stage of détente. It began in the Middle East, and the region remains the epicenter of violence to this day.

Apocalypto Aug 28, 2007

Blue Crush



chance,

That seems to be what they call a "chick flick". But I trust your judgment and am sending for a copy anyway. ... The majority of the reviews are positive.

I really enjoyed Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto", although it didn't have a word I could understand. It was all in the action ... and of course the subtitles

Definition of a chick flick Aug 28, 2007

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_flick

Actually, it's very subjective. I'm sure a lot of men liked Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" and Anne Hathaway in "The Devil Wears Prada".
