冬季的片表排出来,令人期待的更多。Coen兄弟的新片A Serious Man,Viggo主演的The Road,一堆大牌男星的The Men Who Stare at Goats,一堆大牌女星的Nine,偶像版的胡二麻斯,Peter Jackson的The Lovely Bones,Scoresese的Shutter Island⋯⋯几乎每周都有,真是看得眼花撩乱。

阿莫多瓦的所有女主角,都是一个女主角,她们的故事也都是一个故事啊!(literally...)Jun wrote:我也看见了 Broken Embraces 的广告片儿。很奇怪,Almodovar 的片儿我是看完就记不清里面发生了什么事儿。虽然总是插个挺小报的段落什么的,但事后一般只记得人物:打扮成女人的穿黑衣裙的高个子年轻男人,火辣辣的独力拖走尸体的单身妈妈,有漂亮老婆的半身不遂男人,看皮纳包殊舞蹈而相遇的二男,自私和破坏哥哥幸福的弟弟,如此等等,至于他们干了什么,经历了什么,却没有印象。
昨日重看volver,今日又借来flower of my secret,作接力状。感想之一:almodovar也有“瓦女郎”。先是marisa paredes,然后penélope cruz。好比巩利来过章子怡⋯⋯
里头有一段。爱情小说作家Leo跟她的出版商聊天,出版商不解Leo为何转变文风:
No, I mean, why change if sales are good? Leo, sweetie, you forget our collection is called “True Love”. A novel about a mother who discovers her daughter’s killed her father who had tried to rape her. And so no one finds out… hides the body in the cold-storage room of a neighbor’s restaurant?
Ding,可不就是volver的故事!Foms拍于1995年,volver则是2006——也许是10年后临时起意、借题发挥,也许是10年前,预先便打好了一段腹稿?
至少瓦女郎们不必跟导演睡觉即可提供灵感。simonsun wrote: 感想之一:almodovar也有“瓦女郎”。先是marisa paredes,然后penélope cruz。好比巩利来过章子怡⋯⋯
Pirate Radio isn't quite my cup of tea. I am not a big fan of the director, and the story sounds suspiciously like "A care-free American rides in and saves stiff-upper-lipped Brits from themselves" kind of cliche. The trailer looks a bit funny but doesn't click with me.Knowing wrote:nine 终于要出来了。是rob marshall 导演的音乐片!我要看!
还有个Pirate Radio 看上去很逗,有Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy,jun 准想看。

What did I get from Simon? An education - the thing my parents always wanted me to have. I learned a lot in my two years with Simon. I learned about expensive restaurants and luxury hotels and foreign travel, I learned about antiques and Bergman films and classical music. All this was useful when I went to Oxford - I could read a menu, I could recognise a fingerbowl, I could follow an opera, I was not a complete hick. But actually there was a much bigger bonus than that. My experience with Simon entirely cured my craving for sophistication. By the time I got to Oxford, I wanted nothing more than to meet kind, decent, straightforward boys my own age, no matter if they were gauche or virgins. I would marry one eventually and stay married all my life and for that, I suppose, I have Simon to thank.
But there were other lessons Simon taught me that I regret learning. I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do; I learned to suspect that anyone and everyone is capable of "living a lie". I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable. Learning all this was a good basis for my subsequent career as an interviewer, but not, I think, for life. It made me too wary, too cautious, too ungiving. I was damaged by my education.
