Meduzot

Meduzot在去年的温哥华电影节展出过,当时被这张色彩鲜艳的宣传图吸引着,可惜没排到票白跑一趟。个人偏好小孩和成年人的搭配,比如Le papillon,Monsieur Ibrahim之类的。



Trailer


剧情简介:(来自豆瓣
一個在婚禮上端盤子的宅女,在海邊撿到一個不說話的小女孩;一個結婚當天摔斷腿,因而無法出國度蜜月的新娘;另一個來自菲律賓的外籍看護,碰上一個超難纏的老太太。三個女人、三段故事互相對照影響,卻有三種令人意想不到的結局。這部看似冷調的作品,其實情感豐沛、影像純熟,完全不像是部處女作,獲得多項大獎肯定。

***
情节着实散漫,就像Meduzot(海蜇)一般漫无目的的瓢啊瓢。心理刻画很细腻,所以尽管没有实际情节,背景音乐又节约的过分,看着倒不觉得乏味。到了最后一幕我有个很可怕的疑点:那个小女孩是真实存在的吗?

话说我又被人小瞧了......我是打算付成人票价的,卖票的主动问Are you a student? 我犹豫了一下做了个摸卡的小动作(反射而已),最后回答Never mind.他反倒更加肯定的确认'It's OK. I trust you!'我那个晕啊,你都那么信任我了我就再当回学生吧!

干了件蠢事

这件蠢事让我倍感窝心。移民需要雅思成绩,但只要General Reading,不要Academic。我考的是Academic人家不要,现在要重考General. F*&K. 在我温饱都有问题的时候,两百多块钱打水漂!多么让人心痛的蠢事啊(暗自赏耳刮子)。

和家里人稍微聊了几句过后,我觉得真该反省反省了。不疼不痒,不褒不贬的来形容至今为止我这个懒散的人:过于理想主义,不够吃苦耐劳,遇到点事情容易消沉,认真起来很认真,也有小才但因不够吃苦耐劳性格阴暗发挥不出来。总结病根为过于理想主义,再不改要完蛋了。

挺受打击的,我要下狠心去改。

贫乏



涂了一堆字竟然没能存下来,神秘的网络啊,你是觉得我写的太无聊了么?最近无论是物质还是体力上我都贫乏的慌,虽然不愿意在精神上也逐渐沙漠化,一到晚上该睡觉的时候竟然失眠。我最不能忍耐的就是失眠,册那!还我脑袋瓜一碰枕头即睡的神力来!有时候忍不住设想,如果没有家里人支持我会是怎么个状况?这个问题经常让我碰壁。因为我从未置身于需和生活一博的背水一战,相信人在濒临绝望时会发挥强大的爆发力和潜能,但能不能摆脱下陷的处境就不好说了。我怀疑自己到底有多大的生命力,有个办法就是把现有存款都冻结起来。

G开始TA了,我来贴一道她出的题,有能力的来答。
There's an alien organism that has 6 nucleotides in one codon. Will their DNA be longer than an eukaryote with the same number of genes?

今天等车等了40分钟!看着不下十辆公车从眼前开过,打着“Sorry, not in service”的牌子。我当时心里一沉啊,第一想到的是司机集体罢工!

The league of idiocy

Trailer


I had high expectations of Coen brothers' 'Burn after reading'(imdb). It's a good movie but the creative attempts could use more strength. The plot revolves around typical 'losers' driven to desperate situations. Circle 1: A former CIA agent Osborne is fired for no reason. He has a Stanlist wife played by Tilda Swinton who's having an affair with a treasury guy named Harry (George Clooney). Then you have the equally troubled Circle 2: Two gym staff, Linda and Chad, get hold of Osborne's secret CIA profile and try to blackmail for money.

If you put these two circles together, the names that appear in the overlapping area would be Osborne and surprisingly, Harry, who send the complication to a climax. Problem is, the blackmail part enters the stage a tadbit late and offsets the overall pacing. The dialogues are not commendably witty but the audience still had a good laugh out of it. Blackmail, infidelity,divorce, illiteracy, unemployment, plastic surgery, you have about all the devils partying in the backyard and in the end leaving a huge tangle of mess that's best burnt and forgotten.

Brad Pitt as Chad, the happy-go-'lucky' gym guy
