JFF 2012 - A Good Husband

JAPANESE FILM FESTIVAL 2012, SEPTEMBER 13 ~ 18th : 

MOVIE 1 - A GOOD HUSBAND (2009)

STORYLINE

The heart wrenching love story between a married couple. The jobless husband cheats on his wife and has no love for her. The wife wants to go on a trip to get pregnant. This mismatched husband and wife may find sympathy among other lovers due to the excellent performance between Yakushimaru Hiroko, who was the main character in famous 'Kadokawa movies', and Toyokawa Etsushi, most well known for her role in [Love Letter]. Halfway through the film we understand why the original title of this movie was [A Good Husband This Time] while crying buckets of tears in being able to identify with the characters.

This is a very nice and meaningful movie. The wife - Sakura was actually died in an accident while they were at Okinawa for holiday. Over the year after Sakura died, the husband is imagining Sakura is still with him in the house, chatting, cooking etc.

At the last scene, husband is hugging his wife, Sakura (imaginative), crying, telling her how much he needs her. "why don't you tell me all these when I'm alive?!" Sakura said. I was crying when I watch this scene. 
一貫的日本電影作風，淒美又不失幽默，我多麼的想痛快的哭，可是劇情卻不允許。電影完畢後，我與zp需要各自回家，送走他的那一刻，我的眼淚居然留了下來。
是故事情節牽動了我的心，還是zp在我們走到停車場的那一段路，所說的那一段話呢？：）

雨天.阴天

连日来的下雨天，不断的细雨绵绵，或是忽然的倾盆大雨，弄得我心情也必须转为阴天，以配合天气的需求。
下雨天，对我的影响，就是我不能跑步，不能感受太阳的正能量。
再加上郁闷的工作，每天对着一大堆的文件，打一大堆的电话，让我忧郁的心情雪上加霜。
昨天，又下了一整天的雨，跑步计划又要泡汤。
很想看2012，结果找遍了电话联络簿，都找不到适合的人选陪我看这部电影。
原来，我在新加坡的朋友是那么少的可怜。
终于，经好友miki的提醒，我想到了他！
但是，由于太过即兴，加上2012的票房那么好，我们被迫要看这套名为，
Paranormal activity， 听说是一部不错的恐怖电影。
但是，我们。。。中途离场了。。这也是我25年来，除了会睡着外，第一次的离场经历。
话说，他的拍摄手法是利用一部摄录机拍的，就是那种很原始，没有加工剪辑的。
故事发生在一间屋里，女主角自8岁开始就被鬼怪纠缠，为了找出真相，他与男友决定记录下他们每一天的活动，包括睡觉，以便找出背后的古怪。
镜头不断的摆动，我们必须陪着主角握着摄录机步行，下楼梯，出入厨房，过着他们日复一日的生活。
据miki所说，故事情节会慢慢的变得很吓人，但是，对不起，我不能接受这个让我看电影看得头昏脑旋的银幕。
就这样，又过了一天。

Benjamin Button

The "inverted" life of Benjamin Button is so unbelievable & so much sadness. I believe the saddest one will be his wife, the one who love him so much, accompany him to go through his old age, adult, teenage, til he lost his memory about her, back to kid, baby and finally death.
Benjamin Button, is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

"This Is It"

刚刚睇完属于michael jackson 的纪录片‘this is it’。获知他的噩耗之后，并不会觉得过度可惜，可能我不是他的忠实fans。
不过，睇完这套电影之后，觉得他真的是一位天王巨星。失去了他，绝对是歌坛的一个遗憾。

我觉得，如果这套电影可以在室外播放，大家闻歌起舞，一定会更加精彩，更加显示他与乐队的舞台魅力。

anyway, RIP MJ
