「我離港前到過一間精神科醫院。當時有位病人禮貌地問,一個以作為世上最悠久民主政體而自傲的國家,如何能夠將此地交給一個政治制度非常不同的國家,且既沒諮詢當地公民,又沒給予他們民主的前景,好讓他們捍衞自己的將來。一個隨行同事說,奇怪,香港提出最理智問題的人,竟在精神科醫院。」彭定康 金融時報

“During a visit to a mental hospital before I left Hong Kong, a patient politely asked me how a country that prided itself on being the oldest democracy in the world had come to be handing over his city to another country with a very different system of government, without either consulting the citizens or giving them the prospect of democracy to safeguard their future. Strange, said one of my aides, that the man with the sanest question in Hong Kong is in a mental hospital.”Chris Patten Financial Times

Coming Soon 影話


農曆年假期﹐除了回老家跟老爸老媽拜年﹐跟親戚一年一度見見面外﹐今個農曆新年檔期的港產片有﹐鄭中基的【心想事成】﹐ 有雙生兒的【雙子神偷】﹐對不起我提不起興趣去看﹐另外爾冬陞的【門徒】還是等DVD罷。在網上查看北美的電影﹐最近的有幾套catching my eyes的。


Miss Potter

Starring:
Renee Zellweger as Beatrix Potter,

Ewan McGregor as Norman Warne.

Directed by:
Chris Noonan

雖然不是Renee Zellweger 的影迷﹐但不能不說她近幾年選片﹐都比較嚴謹可觀﹐Bridget Jones Diary 1 and 2 中的肥妹﹐ 芝加哥的不忠老婆和小歌女﹐Cold Mountain 的Ruby﹐ 結果給她拿了個小金人。


今次她扮演一位兒童書作家兼畫家Beatrix Potter﹐也是一位女權份子﹐是獨立女性的先驅﹐不為結婚而結婚。英文的簡介如下:



Inspired by a true story set in Victorian England, a tale charting the life of Beatrix Potter--a literary phenomenon of the early 20th century. At a time when most young women of her class aimed only to make a good marriage, Beatrix became an iconic figure, swimming quietly, but with great fortitude, against the tide.





She created a series of books and characters that are as beloved today as they were a hundred years ago, and since their publication they have never been out of print. She was also a distinguished painter and--had she been a man--her botanical drawings would have been snapped up by the Royal Horticultural Society at Kew Gardens. Her first book "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", brought her and Norman, a publisher, together. The romance between them is the focus of much of the film.




In addition, by the time she died in 1943, Beatrix Potter had purchased vast swathes of the Lake District that she left to the then fledgling British conservation trust, the National Trust. That so much of this glorious countryside that inspired her, remains as it was in Beatrix Potter’s day for others to enjoy, is her bequest to the nation.





查看北美票房紀錄並不特出﹐但我還是渴望早日在港上映﹐因為個Trailer 幾吸引﹐Miss Potter 在紙上的公仔會活起來。

灣仔北的影藝都停業了﹐以北美的票房紀錄﹐精明的香港片商會否買片﹐或者有些微機會的﹐希望扎綁埋的勁片﹐一次過買入吧﹐排不排上映﹐要看天了。

呀!!! 有計﹐ 叫我老表下次帶DVD返黎 :)

BYTHEWAY﹐ 遲鈍的我才發覺 LU 是初次光臨﹐補番一句“歡迎光臨”。

因為在別人的“博”時常有讀你的COMMENTs﹐不經不覺﹐好似好熟了。
實在慚愧!!!
