今年的上海电影节,去看了希区柯克的《后窗》
作为希区柯克中后期的成熟之作,《后窗》在影评人中的口碑一直很好,imdb上的排名也排在十几位
比较流行的说法是,要想真正理解电影的本质,就要看看希区柯克的《后窗》。电影是什么,其实就是我们平常看到的,听到的,想到的,梦到的.. ..
这些丰富多彩,光怪陆离的生活片段通过屏幕再一次回到我们面前
杰弗瑞是一个摄影记者,他喜欢冒险,到各地周游拍摄
一次意外令他的脚受了伤,现在他必须安心在家养病,日常生活由护理工和时尚靓丽的女友料理
时值炎夏天气,为了清凉透气家家窗户大开,观察对面楼座上各色家里各色人物每天的生活成为杰弗瑞派遣无聊的妙方
故事发展到这里,变得有些香艳起来漂亮的芭蕾舞演员如女王蜂一般周旋于各色男人之间;
寂寞的单身女人反反复复上演着和自己的约会;
作曲家邀请了一帮朋友在家中聚会……
通过这扇小小的窗户,杰弗瑞贪婪地窥视者别人的生活;
正如电影院里的我们,以一种高雅的合理的偷窥方式,关注着故事的发展米兰昆德拉说,任何揭人隐私的行为都该受到鞭挞
后窗那双亮晶晶的眼睛,持续着故事的热度
金发女郎在接待那个新男友;作曲家在弹奏他新的作品;
寂寞的女人准备吞下安眠药;那对夫妇为他们小狗的死亡悲伤不已……
他们大楼的另外一扇窗内却正在发生着谋杀!
这个世界上,痛苦与欢乐是同时进行的,死亡和犯罪也是无所不在的
这些都发生在不同的角落,或许就在你身边,那个犯了罪的人或许就是和你昨天在电梯交谈
当这种想法突然和我们的日常生活联系起来的时候,希区柯克的恐怖已经深入你的心里了
他制造的不是感官刺激,而是心理惊傈其实,在希区柯克的电影里,道德一直都是被他玩耍的对象
他只是制造惊险,激起人们心理深处的恐惧
他甚至不使用花哨的电影技巧,不用紧张的音乐
不用恐怖的画面就能让我们随着影片情节提心吊胆,失声尖叫其实,暗示的力量非常可怕
无论是推动某件事的发生还是避免它的发生,殊途同归
正像钓鱼者的心态,鱼一定会上钩,一定会上钩,最后终于有鱼上钩了
推销员的妻子离奇失踪,雨夜的凌晨他行踪诡秘,邻居的小狗对着花坛又挖又刨
于是我们说,推销员一定杀了他的妻子
他是凶手,一定是凶手,最后,他果然就是凶手一直很喜欢这样的叙述角度,让自己站在阴暗处,面对这面前一扇扇敞开的窗户
寂寞的单身女子在自杀前被作曲家的音乐感动,终成眷属;
芭蕾舞演员在周旋了N多的男人后选择了矮她一个头的普通士兵;
失去了爱犬的夫妇难抑悲伤,养了一条一摸一样的小狗……生活依样延续,房东将推销员住过的房间重新粉刷,重新租了出去
而杰佛瑞,破了谋杀案却再次摔断了腿,将继续他的后窗生活
音乐在天明时欢快地响起来,在无人尖叫的时候,一场谋杀正在进行
有一些狡黠,一丝得意,一抹胸有成竹
在影片背后,是我们赤裸裸的人性,而最终,无人能笑出声来今天的背景音乐 Mr. Curiosity by Jason Mraz
又是一组热裤照。。。我没有七分或者九分裤,觉得硬生生把腿分成三截很难看
所以到夏天,要么是长裤,要么就是这样的迷你裤^_^

安福路的话剧艺术中心
每次来看话剧都是很忐忑的心情,不知道这一次又会撞到谁
也奇了怪了,世界就是那么小,该碰到的不该碰到的都会在这个狭小的空间里出现
几乎每次来这里都会碰到一两个旧识
上周五去看根据小说《成都,今夜请将我遗忘》改编的话剧
一场围绕着钱、权、性展开的没完没了的追逐,职场上的尔虞我诈;情场上的欺骗背叛;官场上的见利忘义
几个大学生毕业后的奋斗历程
陈重(沉重)的报应,赵悦(造孽)的虚伪,李良(你娘)的无可奈何以及王大头(王八蛋)的腐败堕落
很沉重的两个小时
果然还是遇到了熟人,可能安福路就是有这样的气场,呵呵
开场前收到了一条来自北京的信息,怔了怔
i haven't heard from him for at least two months
and now he acts like nothing's changed
who do you think you are? how ironic...
anyway, that reminds me of something you said before, as i quote,
"be good. live large. stay sweet:)"
wish i'll never have to see you again.

第一次看的时候完全不能理解这部所谓“被我们这一代奉为爱情经典的作品”。
还记得我发消息跟朋友说:这就是一场她爱他他不爱她,他爱她她不爱他的故事。
庄周爱上梦,只是蝴蝶不愿意,如是而已。
廖一梅说,《恋爱的犀牛》是一个关于爱情的故事。讲一个男人爱上一个女人,为她作了一个人能作的一切。
犀牛饲养员马路爱上了女邻居明明,但明明深爱着陈飞,而陈飞只是在玩弄她的感情。
马路用尽各种方法也无法获得明明的感情,在绝望中,他以爱情的名义将明明绑架,
并在她的面前杀死了自己最心爱的黑犀牛,挖出犀牛心来表达自己的爱情。
《恋爱的犀牛》不适合过于理性的灵魂。
如果在感情的世界中,会反复衡量付出与收获之比,计算回报率;
因为一点点迫近的近忧或是无处可寻的远虑而慌张逃窜,还没嗅到困难就手摇白旗,举手投降;
使劲浑身解数保护好自己,诚惶诚恐地妥协,对于人群中的“异类”嗤之以鼻,自认为如此才是“明智”。
所谓“明智”,便是不去作不可能、不合逻辑和吃力不讨好的事。
在有着无数可能、无数途径、无数选择的现代社会,人人都能找到自己的最佳位置,
都能在情感和实利之间找到一个明智的平衡支点,避免落到一个自己痛苦,别人耻笑的境地。
看完第一遍《恋爱的犀牛》,印象最深的是其中一句:
过分夸大一个女人和其他女人之间的差别,是一切不如意的根源。
在高度信息化的今天,在资讯如此发达的当代社会,“死心眼”这个词,几乎已经成为一种精神疾病。
马路爱着明明,明明爱着陈飞。
马路为明明有多癫狂,明明为陈飞就有多癫狂。
爱情,从来都只是一个人的事情。
最初的我们,都是陌生人。怀揣着少年时期卑微的爱情,为心中的王子或者女神患得患失,简单脆弱。
在心里面用最大的声音叫着我爱你,用最多的时间想着我爱你,用最多的力气渴望着我爱你,
一秒钟都停不下,无头苍蝇一样转个不停,却从来说不出口。
后来我们长大,终于有机会和某个人恋爱,在消耗了风起云涌的一个人的爱情之后。
我们熟悉地“模式化”恋爱,却对此不肯定。
你的珍贵,别人的不堪忍受。你的心灵,别人的毒药。你的爱情,别人的卫生纸。
耗尽光阴,发现自己只不过怀着一个爱情的想法,
从一个男人到另一个男人,从一个欲望到另一个欲望,从一个身体到另一个身体。
“凑合吧,凑合着过吧,他对你这么好,她那么温柔可亲,他家里有钱,她格外贤惠,别太挑剔了,就这样过吧。”
无奈总有人喜欢一片和美,这样的金玉良言充斥整个世界。
于是,会有许多人忘记,人活着还要经历一场那样的惊心动魄的,不计后果的,完全理智沦丧的爱情。
这辈子,活得太安全了,又是多么的没意思。
我乐意看到许多人像七八九月的天气渴望一场暴雨般,渴望一场撕心裂肺,伤心伤身的爱情。
我执着地相信失败了的爱,付诸东流覆水难收的爱,让自己遍体鳞伤的爱,都会让人长大,变得美好起来。如果歇斯底里不算爱,那还有什么好悲哀。

emotional absent - [胡言乱语]
连着两天失眠
一点半睡下去的,四点不到就醒了
然后就再也睡不着,靠着床头看书看到六点
称体重,发现自己又瘦了,穿着浴袍才88斤
他们说如果有心事,那么不管怎么吃都不长肉
不知道这究竟是好消息还是坏消息
真讽刺
there are two Christine living inside of me
one is more like a traditional type, who wants nothing but some simple, ordinary happiness
she wants a stable relationship, a reliable life partner, a man she can count on
while the other Christine abhors mediocre and has never been completely satisfied with her life
she wants to escape from the mainstream, from the uneventful life, from the seemingly stability
she doesn't want to be predictable
they constantly fights
they've never reached a unanimous decision on any issue
which got her confused, self-dubious, sensitive and emotional absent
so...now i start wondering
to which point in my life, one of them will fully step up and take the rein?

i don't mean to be cynical - [胡言乱语]
After five seasons of awaiting, the Boston Legal balcony has fianlly closed.
Also known as the sequel to The Practice, which has been my all-time favorite TV show, BL has fulfilled many of my lonely nights after TP's departure with Alan Shore's thought-provoking closings and Danny Crane's hilarious madcow behavior. David E. Kelley, producer of the show, has really donw some kick-ass work at taking issues not only important but also serious and making it so absurd that you have to be impressed once watched.
Yet it ended its five-season run last December in a two-hour finale that found Crane Poole & Schmidt in dire financial straits - forcing the firm to be sold to a new buyer, which turned out to be some Chinese entrepreneurs. After the incorporation deal was sealed, Denny shoot the Chinese investors with paintball guns and Shirley tried to get an injunction to stop the deal, as a result, the whole litigation department was fired.
Then, once again Alan Shore impersonated that lifesaving hero by giving another hysterical speech, he managed to convince the new owners to hire them all back. But the firm's name was changed to Chang, Poole and Schmidt.
I'm quite used to the whole mockering style to the on-going political or social issues in the states and to be honest with you, have been enjoying the cynicism deeply rooted in the show. That's why I'm not going into the absurdity of Denny marrying Alan so that he can transfer his wealth to Alan without legal or tax implications; nor the stupidity of Alan insulting the Supreme Court for second time, acting like an overheated blog commenter while trying to get Denny the right to try an experimental Alzheimer's treatment.
After all, no one was expecting BL to be a reallife show and has always been forgiving on those seriously stern sermons on the status of the human condition in 21st century America, in front of a backdrop of chaos at Crane, Poole and Schmidt. But with a finale episode dedicated to bashing the rising Chinese economy, gloating over our accomplishment, and giant soap box rants on how there should be no "Communists" practicing law in US?
I hoped the BL had passed its downside and my five-year-long old friend could pass away without too much pain, but the last episode brought the worst. A complete dismantling of the already sad remains of the firm, a dismal look at the perceived inevitable downfall of the American economy at the hands of the Chinese, and to top it all off, a complete biased mockery of Chinese people by the shooting them with paintball?
To extend my "death of a friend" analogy a bit further, watching the last episode of boston legal was like watching that friend on their death bed get attacked, torn into pieces and then raped until no life remained. It was cruel and unusual punishment for this show and its fans and we deserved much better.
