喜愛夜蒲 Lan Kwai Fong (2011)

  1.  這樣垃圾的電影竟然可以拍到三集。
  2. youtbe 的八號影院,美亞放了不少電影,今天付了7元做了會員,第一部看的電影就是這一部垃圾。
  3. 要說這種夜生活的男男女女,其實可以拍得很精彩,至起碼要有個故事,有發展,有幾個深刻的人物吧!
  4. 看了一大半,我還不清楚這部電影有些什麼角色,名字叫什麼也叫不出來?
  5. 是我觀影失敗,還是電影的失敗?我相信絕對是後者!

Scary Place: China

  1.  NYtimes has posted this report on the Chinese government's surveillance technology.  It's scary.  
  2. The video is 15 minutes long, but it tells you the dimension of China's surveillance state today.

The Kingmaker (2019)

It's so sick to watch this documentary, this woman, this country ...And it's even worst is looking at my own place --  Hong Kong is approaching being like it. 

//“Look, I am no longer the first lady.  I am not even allowed to go around the world anymore.  They prohibit me. … I have money in 170 banks and deposits of assets.  I cannot even have them.  And I, even at this stage, even at my age, I can go around the world and bring world peace.  I befriended all of them.  Gaddafi was a friend.  Um, Saddam Hussein.  Mister, um …Mao Tse-tung. I just gave respect to him.  He looked at my hand and kissed it.  In five minutes, he said, “Mrs. Marcos, you started the end of the Cold War.  In five minutes - Mao! So, who is Imelda? ” // 

// “Martial law, that was the best years of Marcos because that was when he was able to give the Philippines sovereignty, freedom, justice, human rights.”//

頤和園 Summer Palace (2006)

  1. 真的很好看。一定是第六代導演最佳電影。
  2. 郝雷表演精彩,為這部電影增添更多色彩。
  3. 群眾演員之多,一個年青導演可以拍得這麼緊湊,真的是天才。
  4. 全片兩個多小時,沒有多餘的一個鏡頭,沒有多餘的對白。竟然還想他再拍長一點,說多一點。
  5. 音樂也很配電影的節奏、情緒。
  6. 好像真的是完美的電影。
  7. 余紅對待愛情永遠超前一步,來得快去得也快,總是讓自己很痛苦,最終卻依然執著一段錯過的愛情。這是不是有點在照鏡子?
