 剧版叫贫嘴张大民的幸福生活 小时候看过,印象就是挤一起睡在有树的床上 It's a TV series called  The Happy Life of Talkative Zhang Damin I saw it when I was a kid, and I remember sleeping in a bed with a tree 幸福生活的标准是什么? 没事偷着乐 What are the criteria for a happy life? Steal Happiness 九十年代广大农村老百姓的生活显然没张大民幸福 其实幸福生活就是苦中作乐的生活态度 好死不如赖活着 In the 1990s, the lives of the rural people were obviously not as happy as Zhang Damin In fact, a happy life is an attitude of enjoying life in the midst of suffering Better to die than to live Live like an animal 年纪越来越来大了 纯粹的东西越来越少了 I'm getting older and older There's less and less of the real thing

活人也需要破地狱 The living need to break hell too 中国有句古话:死者为大 There is an old Chinese saying that the dead are the greatest 也就是人死才会放下宽恕 It's also called the death of a human being to let go of forgiveness 也就是说破地狱只是活着的人的自我和解 Which means that hell-breaking is just self-reconciliation for the living 父权在,不平等就在,地狱就在,怎么破? When patriarchy is there, inequality is there, hell is there, how do you break it? 他人即地狱 Hell is other people

为什么电影是黑白的? 导演:来自于对祖母的生活年代的记忆。 Why is the film in black and white? Director: From the memory of my grandmother's life 结尾女主没有私奔,而是选择了去投票 我们紧握选票,就像紧握情书。 Instead of eloping at the end, the heroine chooses to go to the polls We hold on to the ballot paper like a love letter      有意思的点是母女的对话,父子的对话。    女儿觉得母亲应该反抗父亲的家暴,   可当女儿被结婚对象家暴时没 反抗一样,   正如母亲和她一样年轻时。 躺床上的老父亲告诉儿子打老婆给教训就行, 但不能一直打。  这潜意识就是家暴是正常,这就是观念。 The interesting points are the dialogue between mother and daughter, and father and son The daughter feels that her mother should rebel against her father's domestic violence But when the daughter doesn't feel the same way when she's being domestically abused by the man she's married to Just as the mother did when she was as young as she was The old father in bed tells the son to just beat his wife to teach her a lesson      没人保证不会遇人不淑,靠道德人品看运气。  社会要进步,就要有新的观念,打破旧的观念。 No one guarantees that you won't meet a bad person, depending on mo...

 金牌可以衡量一个国家的实力吗 Can gold medals measure a country's standard 1.那些非职业运动员能拿奖真是非常牛逼,比如26岁的分析师 贾斯汀·贝斯特 1. it's pretty awesome that those non-professional athletes can win awards, like 26-year-old analyst Justin Best 2.令我印象深刻是卢森堡选手倪夏莲,尤其是自信的笑容,是我们父辈身上没有的,与日本小山智丽曾经都是国家队员 2. I was impressed by the Luxembourg player Ni xialian, especially the confident smile, which is not found in our fathers and mothers, and Japan's  Koyama Chire  used to be a national player. 3. 她们让我想到刚去世的李政道,如果他和杨振宁都没去美国留学,或者去了又像邓稼先一样回来了,显然他们不会获得诺贝尔物理学奖 3. they remind me of  Tsung Dao Lee  who just passed away, if he and  Yang Chen Ning  didn't go to the US to study, or went and came back like Deng Jiaxian, obviously they wouldn't have won the Nobel Prize in Physics

Long Arm of the Law 省港旗兵

图片
这个系列有四部,第一部是麦当雄导演,后三部是其弟麦当杰导演。 第一部林威主演,第三部刘德华,后三部徐锦江都有参演。最不好看一部就是第三部,第四部就是讲那个年代的事件,拍的最好就是第一部。 香港电影讲警匪题材除了麦当雄,代表导演还有林岭东,杜琪峰 ,刘伟强等。 前两部电影悍匪原型是过江龙吴建东,湖南虎陈虎矩。 吴建东策划1984年震惊香港的宝生银行解款车械劫案,被抓后监狱中肝癌去世。 陈虎矩1985年打劫忠信表行被抓后判13年。 他俩算是香港三大贼王的前辈,分别是贼中王叶继欢,大富豪张子强,高佬雄季炳雄。 叶继欢1993年手持ak-47在旺角横扫金铺逃回大陆,1996年在香港西环偷渡跟警察交火中弹被捕。 张子强1991年抢劫运钞车1.7亿港币,被判18年,请律师上诉当庭释放。后绑架李嘉诚儿子索要赎金10.38亿港币成功,被称为世纪贼王。又绑架过郭炳湘,1998年前往内地被广东公安抓了被判死刑枪决。 季炳雄1998年抢劫两次珠宝行,2003年在油麻地被香港特警抓捕归案。 电影树大招风讲的就是三大贼王的故事,片中虚构一个三人同框的时刻。 香港媒体称大圈帮为省港旗兵。省港就广东省和香港,旗兵就是红卫兵,大圈仔就是广州仔。后来泛指从大陆来香港的犯罪份子。 There are four installments in this series, the first one was directed by Mak Dang-hung, and the last three were directed by his brother, Mak Dang-kit. The first Lin Wei starring, the third Andy Lau, the last three Xu Jinjiang have acted. The most unattractive one is the third, the fourth is about the events of that era, the best shot is the first.

12.12: The Day 首尔之春

用当下的话来讲这是负能量的作品 但又是过去真实发生的事 想起了《 活着》和《霸王别姬》有一个共同的背景 一个民族怎么看自己的历史就决定了当下 看电影就是看世界的窗口 It's a negative piece of work, in today's terms. But it's something that really happened in the past. When I think of 《   To Live》  and 《Farewell My Concubine》, they share a common background. How a nation views its history determines its present. Watching a movie is a window to the world
