「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

記 美國 感恩節假期影事

記 美國 感恩節假期影事



早前介紹過的兩部電影 Enchanted 和 August Rush,美國感恩節假期時首映,剛巧身在北美的我恭逢其會,除了大吃火雞外,在十一月廿四五日周末來個雙響炮。


Enchanted (2007)

笑料不少,歌舞連場,好好睇,仲有驚喜添!

最後尾,來個角色調換,美男被妖龍捉了去,公主拿起寶劍,冒著大風雨爬上高塔頂,拯救愛郎,斬妖屠龍後,美男從塔頂跌下來, 公主一手把愛郎捉著,救了愛郎,又決定留在人間,不再回到童話世界和王子結婚了,但那一位美女願意去到童話世界裡和王子圓婚呢?這裡賣個關子, 留返在香港上映時,你地入場睇喇。


之後翻查北美票房紀錄,Enchanted 位列票房榜首,主要是編劇們懂得變通,把舊酒換上新瓶子,令觀眾一開始眼前一亮,應記首功。


Story: 童話故事書裡面的公主, 被邪惡的皇后,踢出童話書的世界,變成人身,跌落在現實世界的紐約曼克頓區。 美麗的公主,祇活在童話世界,怎樣生活在紐約大都會呢?




一位好心的美國律師救了她,童話故事般的羅曼蒂克愛情故事,會否實現在現實的紐約曼克頓呢?

Starring:

James Marsden,

The tale follows the beautiful princess Giselle as she is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land--and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan.




Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid--even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home--she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?



August Rush (2007)

比較起上一部電影,August_Rush 只是平鋪直敘,沒有甚麼驚喜。

但平淡中,亦有真趣, 一向不喜歡 Robin Williams 羅賓威廉士的演繹,今次亦不例外,他演街頭音樂人,收養一班有音樂天賦的流浪兒童,教他們表演賺錢,顯然是改動一下,今次不做扒手。但他最先發覺 August Rush 的音樂天賦,并教曉他基本音樂技巧。

之後 August Rush 再經由 牧師被送入 Juilliard School 學習,還作了 "August Rhapsody" 在中央公園表演, 就太一廂情愿了。 不過小演員亦不太老人精,當消閑的電影不過不失。


Story: 兩位有才氣的音樂家,男的彈得一手悅耳的好結他,女的拉得一手動人的大提琴,但兩人都缺乏財氣, 一次邂逅之後,被女方父親拆散。



女的卻珠胎喑結,兩個天才的結合,生下了『驚世音樂奇才』,像 《莫扎特》 一般的音樂天才,美麗的音符在他的腦子蕩揚,但他她都不知道。女的生下了嬰兒,就交給孤兒院撫養,自己再尋找音樂的理想,男的連做了爸爸都不知道。



在孤兒院長大的 August Rush,擁有音樂的天才,決定萬里尋親,展開他的旅程!







Starring:
Freddie Highmore,
Robin Williams,
Keri Russell,
Jonathan Rhys Meyers,
Terrence Howard


Directed by:
Kirsten Sheridan
