movie night: breathless

The Duchess.

Blessed are the forgetful.

"What a loss to spend that much time with someone, only to find out that she's a stranger."

一百年沒有日出過的孤寂。

今天穿新鞋子上班，暖暖綿綿的，很舒服。連續六個課節的日子，我疲憊得，身體像剩餘一幅皮，可隨時攤軟在地。回到家，昏昏沉沉的睡了，造了夢，醒時天已全黑，像一百年沒有日出過的孤寂。

晚秋了。天氣是忽然之間，有一天涼了下來，自來水的溫度改變了，夏天已經感覺全無。有時候我想，思念一個人到無可救藥的地步，或者，真有甚麼事情會發生也不一定。冥冥中，有一些安排，絕非人可能想像。像天使愛美麗的結尾，她想著想著，竟想出個現實來，他在外，隔著門，正小聲呼喚著她。

可惜現實是，「我沒有你的消息，因為我在想你」。

my first bond film.

movie sunday.

Why do people enjoy this film so much? 

While watching I couldn't help but think what a selfish bitch she is ruining two men's lives at a time. It's not like the whole world revolves around her or what. 

I enjoy romantic comedies but shits like this is just too unrealistic and stupid to believe in. Being romantic is not about giving you everything you want and fulfilling whatever desire you have. It's about being honest and overcoming differences to get the love you deserve. In this case I don't think Melanie, the protagonist, deserves anything that goes so effortlessly into her hands. 

Usually chick flicks easily get you identify yourself as one of the protagonists but this one just doesn't work for me.

電影

一個人的時候，我看了好多電影。

saturday morning movie.

movie time.

The Great Gatsby 1974

玫瑰和家明。

中學時，比我們年長二十年的老師說，她是讀亦舒長大的。這一代，我們讀的仍是亦舒。

她的小說，讀畢都不記得多少了。唯獨《玫瑰的故事》，我還是會常常想起，彷彿石澳的白色大屋裡，真的住著黃玫瑰這一個女子。

我還不知道，原來小說有電影改編版本。張曼玉為玫瑰，周潤發為家明。

八十年代的愛情，像當時的社會，以今人的眼光，有點不真實的單純和浪漫。

安娜瑪德蓮娜。

又看了一遍。

九十年代的文藝愛情小品，典型岸世編劇，簡單清新，詩意含蓄；奚仲文導演，畫意的鏡頭，緩和的移動，流麗自然。

陳慧琳，金城武，郭富城。

陳慧琳當年的小品三部曲：薰衣草，小親親，和安娜瑪德蓮娜，百看不厭。薰衣草配金城武，小親親配郭富城，而安娜瑪德蓮娜，三人並行，絕美的組合。

客串的也有張國榮，袁詠儀，張學友。

我心目中的樓房，是安娜瑪德蓮娜裡邊，他們住的那種。矮小的石房子，白色殘舊的外牆，地方不用很大，只要清潔明淨，一目了然的空間，簡單的傢俱就可以。最理想的，是有一排長窗和露台，把陽光引進來，也給我一個安靜發獃的地點。

看著看著，我想，乾脆住進電影裡算了。

Friends' time.

Johnny Depp in Dark Shadows.

Movie time alone

Movie home.

Being powerful is like being a lady.

"Being powerful is like being a lady. 

If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

Margaret Thatcher

Audrey Tautou.

Movie alone.

Sometimes it's not about the movie, it's about the pleasure of watching the actress grinning, weeping, doing her hair or the dishes in front of you, looking at you but not seeing you, talking but not to you.

The Artist.

My favourite scene of the entire movie.
