The Lake House─只愛Keanu+Sandra



Image Hosting by PicsPlace.to

Kate: I sometimes feel as if I'm invisible, as if no one can see me at all. I never felt that way when I lived at the Lake House. It's the one place......

這部片「跳越時空的情書」從當初卡斯敲定消息公佈之後我就已經迫不及待,
對男女主角的喜愛自然不在話下,
亦耳聞本片韓國原版「觸不到的戀人」是浪漫經典,
自然是在苦候著上映日期之後馬上去戲院捧場,
視文藝片為畏途的老公哭笑不得的也被我帶著去,
還笑稱他會看到一半期待Lawrence Fishburne 跑出來找救世主空手道單挑。


簡單卻不枯燥的故事,讓早已忘了上回親筆寫信是何時的你我,
隨著魚雁往返的男女主角,進入那忘情傾訴的情愛世界,
片中那個湖邊玻璃屋的信箱,更像是古早版的MSN即時通,
兩位因時差兩年而無法見面的情人,其實也像是網戀,
讓我們這些不但早已捨棄書信通訊,甚至連email都嫌慢倚賴著手機簡訊互通的寂寞人們,
更加能夠體會他們期待能真實碰觸到彼此的渴望。

Kate: One man I can never meet - him, I would like to give my whole heart to.

至於片中一些時空差距所帶給觀眾的疑問,男主角Keanu Reeves說的一段話是最好的回答:
「當我在讀劇本的時候,發現故事非常吸引我,我也能感覺到觀眾將好奇男女主角互相吸引之後會如何進展,然後漸漸不再只用理智去分析其中邏輯,而是好好的享受這段動人故事。」女主角Sandra Bullock表示當她確認Keanu Reeves首肯參演的消息後,當天她也馬上簽約加入演員陣容,她表示兩人再度合作變成媒體焦點是始料未及,畢竟讓他們大紅大紫、全球票房高達三億五千萬美金的「捍衛戰警」是十二年前的事了,這期間Sandra Bullock已經是愛情喜劇類電影代名詞,Keanu Reeves則以The Matrix駭客任務三部曲榮登影史上收入最高男星,私交匪淺的兩人這些年來相聚之際卻極少提及手頭工作之事。


"there could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved"

由於劇情安排的關係,兩人實際共同拍攝的時間只有短短兩週,倒是為了錄旁白在錄音間相處了更多,嘴饞的兩人更藉著本片戲服多為冬季厚重衣物不用擔心身材發胖,常常跑去芝加哥拍片附近的一家餐館大啖油炸食物。Sandra聊起十二年前在「捍衛戰警」試鏡的時候,很感謝當時在電影界已經闖出名氣的Keanu很有耐心的帶著還算是新人的她通過無聊又可笑的開巴士片段試鏡,Keanu則稱讚她一直都是那麼美麗大方又善解人意。這對自稱化學作用有如即溶咖啡的銀幕情侶,在The Lake House中動人的演出足以讓人帶著暖暖的微笑走出戲院。

台灣上映日期: 2006-07-21

40 Things you'd like to say out loud at work

2. "I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce."
3. "How about never? Is never good for you?"
4. "I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public."
5. "I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to see it my way."

7. "I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message."
8. "I don't work here. I'm a consultant."
9. "It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying."
10. "Ahhh...I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again."
11. "I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid."
12. "You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers."
13. "I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn."

15. "I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you."
16. "Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view."

Lessons of Love



Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4.. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.

Thank you for sharing Carla!

Shall We Dance?



這部2004年出品的電影,當時因為對卡司不是很有興趣,
所以就錯過了。
最近在逛blog的時候無意間看到這一句台詞:
「我這輩子最大的驕傲,就是你跟我在一起很快樂」
很平凡的句子,好感人的意境,
有著結婚前的我無法體會的簡單幸福。
這些好台詞讓我對這部電影產生了好奇心,
於是在錯過了幾次播映時間後,
我終於靜下來好好看了這部出奇好看的電影。
很恬靜的音樂,把男主角每日通勤穿梭過的芝加哥襯得那樣迷人,
沒有誇張的轉折,每一位角色都非常契合~
看了讓人很想去學跳舞的好電影。


這段讓我感動好久的話出現在電影尾聲,Richard Gere在廚房裡對結漓19年妻子的真心話~
The one thing I am proudest of in my whole life, is that you were happy with me. If I couldn't...if I couldn't tell you I wasn't happy sometimes it was because I didn't want to risk hurting the one person I treasure most. I'm so sorry.


還有這段女主角的話也帶出婚姻的可貴之處
All these promises that we make and we break...why is it that you think people get married? Because we need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet, I mean what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything...the good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mondane things...all of it, all the time, every day. You're saying... Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed, because I will be your witness.



推薦夫妻檔一起觀賞。

原來就是缺了小哥啦!


全美當紅影集Prison Break迷人帥氣Wentworth "小哥" Miller

剛剛吃完晚餐決定出去走走,換上從台灣帶回來到現在才派上用場的短袖上衣,還有價格親切卻效果驚豔的長裙,蹬著小高跟鞋就出門去啦!先是帶了Cold Stone奶昔去探同事的班,然後又去書局幫老公買了本書,還有就是想找找看架上還有沒有監獄小哥Wentworth Miller為封面的那本雜誌,結果真的有喔!是改了版的TV Guide,真是心花怒放,裡面有好可愛的照片呢。結帳的時候女店員看著封面,很有興趣的一直說:我認得這個人,是在哪裡看過他呢?我說Prison Break嗎?她說她並沒有看這影集,我說那電影The Human Stain呢?她也不清楚,那我蠻確定她是從瑪莉雅凱莉的We belong together MV裡認識小哥的了,呵呵!
帶了雜誌回家好開心喔!之前的頹廢不振,原來就是缺了小哥啦!

春天納悶




大概是一進入春天就下了一場雪的關係吧,
這個季節真是有點奇怪。
我依然放了太多的時間在工作上,
上個月因為盤點而緊繃的神經,
好像還暫時放鬆不下來,
還好在密密麻麻的要班表上標下了五月初的休假,
讓我覺得至少有個目標可以期待,
眼前其實有兩個升遷的機會可以爭取,
也不只一個人鼓勵我去試試看,
不過我站在目前的角度,
真的是不願意往更多責任、更少時間給自己這方向走,
所以還是繼續觀望中,
不過年度評估老闆給我表現上的肯定,
所以就拿著加大的薪水偷笑吧。
好友Carla鼓勵我去當她同學,
還很認真的建議鑑識科學課程,
有趣的是我們兩個沒有在追CSI,
我會考慮看看的,
真是個沒有任何動力的懶惰春天呀!

Yes I am in good company :-)



很喜歡這部電影,不說教不硬灌政治理念,
就是一個中年爸爸面對女兒跟自己的小老闆戀愛的心路歷程,
很生活化的對白,以及我很欣賞的幾位演員,
看完心裡暖暖的喔!

這兩位真是太登對了,Marg是最美的媽媽喔。

好想也跟他們一起在紐約街上喝咖啡

這場戲自然得像是被Marg邀請去她家吃飯,打翻的baked ziti可是我拿手的菜色之一呢.

Scarlett平凡中見演技.讓我對她印象更加好.若是找Linsay Lohan演.就不會是同樣的故事了吧.也喜歡阿丹那場送女兒到新宿舍的掉眼淚戲. 

Topher真是越看越可愛.他在Ocean's twelve還揶揄自己接了這部片.真是欠打.

coperate ladder爬呀爬,我有著跟阿丹一樣的無力感


很喜歡這場戲,老夫老妻的甜蜜

小情侶很可愛喔

別忘了微笑喔



最近工作壓力比較大,貼心的同事在交班的紙條上特別寫上一句:
Don't forget to smile!
讓我會心一笑:-)

我承認我最近笑容少了很多,
不過現在開始我要激勵自己:
無論多麼忙,都不要忘了微笑喔!

Thank you my sweetest friends who always cheer me up and make my day.

Doggie Dictionary



Leash:
A strap which attaches to your collar, enabling you to lead your mom and dad where you want him/her to go.

Dog Bed:
Any soft, clean surface, such as the white bedspread in the guest room or the newly upholstered couch in the living room.

Drool:
What you do when your mom and dad have food and you don't. To do this properly, you must sit as close as you can, look sad and let the drool fall to the floor. Or better yet, on their laps.

Sniff:
A social custom to use when you greet other dogs. Place your nose as close as you can to the other dog's rear end and inhale deeply. Repeat several times or until your person makes you stop.

Garbage Can:
A container where mom and dad put food they don't want to test your ingenuity. You must stand on your hind legs and try to push the lid off with your nose. If you do it right you are rewarded with margarine wrappers to shred, beef bones to consume and moldy crusts of bread.

Bicycles:
Two-wheeled exercise machines invented for dogs to control body fat. To get maximum aerobic benefit, you must hide behind a bush and dash out, bark loudly and run alongside for a few yards. The person then swerves and falls into the bushes and you prance away.

Deafness:
This is an affliction which affects dogs when their mom or dad want them in and they want to stay out. Symptoms include staring blankly at the person, then running in the opposite direction or lying down.

Thunder:
This is a signal that the world is coming to an end. Mom and dad remain amazingly calm during thunderstorms, so it is necessary to warn them of the danger by trembling uncontrollably, panting, rolling your eyes wildly and following their every move.

Wastebasket:
This is a dog toy filled with paper, envelopes and old candy wrappers. When you get bored, turn over the basket and strew the papers all over the house until your mom and dad come home.

Sofas:
Are to dogs like napkins are to people. After eating, it is polite to run up and down the front of the sofa and wipe your whiskers clean.

Bath:
This is a process by which mom and dad drench the floor, walls and themselves. You can help by shaking vigorously and frequently.

Lean:
Every good dog's response to the command "sit!" Especially if your mom and dad are dressed for an evening out. This is incredibly effective before black tie events.

Bump:
The best way to get your mom and dad's attention when they are drinking a fresh cup of coffee or tea.

Goose bump:
A maneuver to use as a last resort when the regular bump doesn't get the attention you require. Especially effective when combined with the sniff. See above.

Love:
Is a feeling of intense affection, given freely and without restriction. The best way you can show your love is to wag your tail. If you're lucky, a human will love you in return.

Gregory Colbert的奇幻動物世界


在翻閱一月號「浮華世界」雜誌時,
與Nip/Tuck並列2005 BEST OF THE BEST名單的是攝影師Gregory Colbert,
他取鏡象群的專注姿態,以及大象們身上反射的光芒,
令人好奇他的攝影作品,
回家後找到他的網站Ashes and Snow,
得以一窺他奇幻的動物與人類攝影世界。

Gregory Colbert今年45歲,來自加拿大,
這位在2002年之前幾乎是隱形的低調攝影家,
過去十年並沒有代理的畫廊、未曾接受訪問、
也沒有大企業的贊助,只有來自世界各地財力豐富的熱情收集家,
持續的贊助他完成夢想。

為了捕捉人與動物間和諧相處的完美瞬間,
過去十年來Gregory Colbert遠征世界盡頭27次之多,
足跡踏遍印度、埃及、緬甸、斯里蘭卡、肯亞、衣索比亞、那米比亞、東加王國、亞速爾群島、北極以及婆羅洲。
Gregory Colbert的每一幅作品都是捕捉發生的瞬間,許多人在第一次接觸這些照片的想法都是:這是人工合成的畫面吧!
然而這些畫面都是未經任何影像編輯、人工燈光或是特效處理。

一直到2002年4月份,Gregory Colbert才在紐約成立自己的畫廊,
並首次公開展出作品,巨幅的動物與人映像配上大自然音樂,
讓人有置身奇幻世界的錯覺。
Gregory Colbert最引以為傲的,是他的收藏者從未將他的作品轉賣過,
Brad Pitt所收藏的Gregory Colbert作品,現在仍掛在Jennifer Aniston家的牆壁上,
無疑的Gregory Colbert將是今年最耀眼的攝影師。

斷背山─那個只屬於我倆的牧羊季



首先要感謝Alyx的大力推介,讓近年來對正經電影興趣缺缺的我,
帶著大家的愛,以及近乎朝聖的心情獨自去了戲院,
其實是可以找同伴一起去的,
可是我沒有,因為這是我想一個人去做的事,
只為我自己,我很高興我並沒有因為任何藉口而卻步,
在這個美麗的星期天下午,讓斷背山溫暖了我的內心。

首先我非常驚訝於座無虛席的盛況,
上次看到這麼踴躍的觀影群是「魔戒三」首映夜,
觀眾群各年齡層都有,坐我右邊的是白髮蒼蒼的老先生,
我右邊的是兩位中年婦女,還有人很明顯是全家出動,
臨開場更有好幾位年輕男生戴著牛仔帽進來,
真是觀眾跟電影一樣有趣!
然後是意外的驚喜─Simon Baker新片Something New的預告,
真的是覺得無論電影好不好看,看到Simon哥哥就已經值回票價....

斷背山最吸引我的是狀闊的山景、適切而不喧鬧的配樂以及細膩的劇本,
一直認為最佳的敘事方式是透過鏡頭,而不是對白,
電影裡的許多細節都相當動人心弦:
一開場兩位主角雖然都沒有交談,
卻很明顯的可以看出誰將是感情裡的主導;
富家女一身鮮紅牛仔裝襯托出她的外向以及樂觀性格;
岳父將車鑰匙扔給女婿的舉動,勾勒出Jack在岳家的地位;
Ennis將幼女丟給正在上班的妻子,讓人感受到他要和情人出遊的迫不及待;
Jack在訴說自己內心掙扎之後,Ennis那道盡委屈、決堤而出的淚水;
當然還有那一件跟兩位男主角一樣搶眼的泛黃襯衫。
片裡最令人印象深刻的莫過於那一句痛澈心肺的"I wish I knew how to quit you!",
然而我也很喜歡Ennis在河邊一邊洗杯盤,一邊碎碎唸的'Jack f--king Twist!',
是兄弟般的苛責,亦是情人間的容忍。

我沒有解開信箱上「17」號碼的功力,也分心地錯過了結局左下角的玄機,
不過觀賞這電影所引發的淚水,是看完幾小時之後開始流下,
這其中的關係,怕是要思索好幾天才能有答案。
