本來也沒有很想去看這部電影的,只是這些日子看到的都是對此片的回應頗為正面,就去看了。一看之後驚為天人,是說好看的科幻片已經買少見少。其實本片故事結構極其簡單,可是拉長到兩小時填補了細節部份卻不覺單薄。相較同是科幻包裝的The Host(譯名《宿主》或《天煞奇緣》),此片拍得更富詩意。雖然兩部片都有情愛的描述,但是手段的高低完全不再同一個檔次上。
比起《悲慘世界》這個更貼近原意的譯名,我更喜歡《孤星淚》這個名字,聽起來比較有詩意。跟朋友約好看這部電影的過程可謂一波三折,光是改期就改了兩次,終於進場看的昨天我竟然在進場前發現了不•見•停•車•卡。所以戲還沒上演,戲外我就已經經歷了很悲慘的境界。這部電影的片名應該是Les Misérables,光是看海報我還以為是什麼驚悚片。沒辦法,誰叫恐怖片大多圍繞小女孩這個主題不放呢?
如果有一天,永續生命已經不是能不能,而是要不要的問題時,會有多少人會這樣做?當然代價有一個,肉身總有壞死的一天,就算是繼續在機械上存活也總有一天會耗損的。所以在肉身與機器,甚至機械間的轉換之時,都要先經歷一個「死亡」的過程。不過這個過程瞬間而逝,在還沒來得及覺得痛苦之前當事人早就在新的身體(肉身或機械)醒來。所以換句話說,這個死亡實際上並沒有任何的感覺。
Few days ago, I posted up my response on the e-learning issue as requested by my lecturer. I was quite shocked after found out that not more than 5 people posted their response. Is this a sign showing that even though we are studying computer science, but we still do not appreciate and utilize the internet connection wisely? Or this shows that our e-learning system has some problem because it doesn’t help attracting students to login (in other word, it sucks)?
But then, I am quite impressed that there are people who rely on the internet resources in studying in my course. This is because in my college, we are rely on the lecturer for notes. If a lecturer does not provide notes for photocopying, then he/she will be in trouble when students evaluate him/her during the end of semester. Not many who are really interested finding out more on the subject somewhere else and this is probably why not many logged into the BlackBoard and post their response.
In my response, I pointed out that constant electrical supply is a main factor in order to make e-learning a success. It is quite insulting when we are already used to electricity black-outs even in this so-called “Advanced State”. Besides that, decent broadband coverage is also another important factor because not many residents in Malaysia are able to surf online with the help of broadband. Even one can surf using broadband, if he/she is using Streamyx’s service, then he/she will probably suffer from the constantly service down. Even though there are other ISPs providing broadband connection but they cant provide low cost connection. This is because wired connection that is generally cheaper is already monopolized by Telekom. In order to use other ISPs’ services, we will need to pay more for the hardware because they use wireless technology to deliver broadband connection.
If these problems are left unbothered, then I do not expect E-learning will become a trend in Malaysia.
有时候一些人很爱装大气,我承认我也是其中一个,因为这种人很爱翻旧账,然后用我其实不介意这句话来总结。这时候,有个可以跟你说真话的朋友是个很重要的事情,因为这个朋友会告诉你,当你把事情还挂在嘴边,根本就表示你还在意。其实我的情绪管理并没有很好(EQ低),所以心情的起伏可以很大,但是我都尽量让自己不要把愤怒的情绪带到第二天,因为很无谓。这件事情虽然事后再说已经没有了情绪,但是我不能否认疙瘩还在。于是,这里写出来,是希望自己说了这最后一次后,不再到处乱讲(讨厌的事情,每repeat一次,就会往夸张的方面更elaborate多一些)。
