生日後(本來想寫篇文章但手上各種事情陷入膠著所以根本沒心情)人生依然活在水深火熱,活得焦頭爛額。所以當時H先生揪看戲的時候,根本沒有想來的衝動,儘管卡士一時無兩。拒絕了之後我也不當一回事,一直到差不多一星期前,才突然收到囑咐說要把這天空出來。說的,就是由葉童和黃德斌領銜主演的《唔講得》。
(more…)說實在,我一直到寫這篇文章的時候,都還沒想過我2024過得怎樣。但如果真的要說,在過去的這整個12月,過得非常糟。先是因為找工作各種不順,遇到各式各樣奇葩的面試官和程序。後來瞎忙了兩個月,認命接了一個延續之前工作的案子,卻最終因為撥款無法及時批出告吹。後是在自己很絕望之際,重蹈覆轍任勞任怨讓面試負責人搓圓按扁。
(more…)虽然在网络上,看到Avatar这个字眼我们都会下意识link到所谓的大头照或头像,不过同一个字在这部电影应该叫个什么替身或是什么的比较贴切吧?不过老实说,看完了,一整个会觉得之前Bruce Willis打到要死的Surrogates完全是超级小成本制作。不过特效人人都能做,这在现今这个时代已经是有钱就能办到的东西还是说说就算了,回到最重要的点,自然是故事本身。简单来说,这是一部大体上来看类似《无间道》的电影。不过如果这样说,这部电影……或者应该说很多电影都是集天下之大全(难听点叫天下文章一大抄,不过抄袭这个issue最近很敏感,我选择另一个说法),基本上这部电影就是The Matrix、Pocahontas、Surrogates、无间道、Harry Potter、The Lord of the Rings等等电影的综合体。
是第一次吗?应该不是,可是这次仍然不是一个很好的经验,更何况这次它就在我旁边发生。如果你不明白我再说什么,你也应该不可能明白我在说什么,其实我在说我的身边刚刚发生一场车祸。那种情况带来的震撼,和电影院看到某角落突然出现一个幽灵更为来得摄人。话说刚才我放下还有几口还没来得及吃完的晚饭,出门去载刚补习完毕的小妹,当时下着毛毛雨,回程接近到家的路口,其实应该把时间点拉远一点……在还没到事发路口的之前某公寓/组屋的出口,有一个摩托骑士陡然间闯了出来(我的怀疑是,他有没有在看路),还好我的车速不是很快,因为刚从另一个路口转了出来,否则这次撞车的主角就是我了。
很少因为一个电影和朋友闹那么多意见的。虽然电影的特效在trailer看来是有点假,但是把整个故事一气呵成看下去才发觉到画面虽然很魔幻,但是却很恰当。在看电影之前,除了知道这本书是本童书外,什么都不知道,所以并没有抱有太大期望进场。朋友曾经说过战争场面并不如LOTR雄伟,但是我一向来都不把不同故事的电影串起来讨论的习惯,所以一开始并没有期望他会怎样……
整个故事可能是写给小孩看的吧,故事的编排的确有一点点牵强,但是往往能够自圆其说,这牵强的部分我也不好太苛求了。其次,我看了很久,才明白预言的确不是一切,那四个小孩的确不是所谓救星,而只是不幸被牵连的幸运星罢了。其实如果算战争戏的话,其实整个故事的主角我倒觉得是女巫和Aslan狮子……四个小孩的加入,把战争的元素淡化了许多,而整部故事的中心也因此有些倾向亲情那部分发展。
至于里面最感人的那一幕,莫过于Aslan被羞辱的那一幕了。在知道他被很牵强的理由被复活的时候,我竟然有一股流泪的冲动。还有就是战争场面,当他们胜利的那一刹那,也的确让人有一股感动流过心头。整个故事,最讨喜的就是饰演Lucy的Georgie Henley,看到他的牙齿很令人有亲切感。哈哈哈!不知道如果TheWarOfTheWorlds的那个小女孩Dakota Fanning来演的话会如何?
你想进入Narnia世界吗?如果你想,那你就无法进入,如果你不想,那恭喜你,你已经手握Narnia世界的入门票。只是,当你不想进入的时候,你进去干嘛?!我心肠不好,所以我猜想是不是C.S.Lewis为了避免人家问他如何进入Narnia拿来敷衍人家的说话,哈哈哈……不过这句话的确很有玄机。不然Professor为何穷极一生想要再次进入Narnia还是进不到?
我本人沒什麼看電視,這對很多人來說大概不是什麼新鮮事情了。不過家中二老倒還是有在看港劇的,所以有時候還是不免會看一點。這兩個星期,由於終於就業的關係所以黏在電視機前的機率就更少了。不過這陣子電視上倒是播放了一部看起來挺有趣的港劇,乍一看質感與過去的港劇有所差別。雖然也說不上有追,但是大概的故事倒是還是可以說一說的就是。
Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.
