    蝶衣

    5d8d1be4ba78fd1606633832f8ca3809     在写这篇观后感的时候想了很多题目,但是后来还是选了蝶衣这个名字。

         以前看到这个电影的时候都没有兴趣看,觉得这个电影的题材很扭曲。上次在朋友家的电脑里面看到有,于是在没有别的选择情况下才把这个电影放到自己电脑里。看完了电影的途中,我渐渐的明白了为什么香港蜡像馆在考虑张国荣蜡像的时候会设用他在《霸王别姬》里的造型。

         在电影里提了很多次“你可不疯魔,不成活呀。”这让我联想到很多为理想投身的人,都是把自己设定在一个意境里面,只有这样保护自己,他们才可以达到自己的梦想。

         有时只看自己没有这个胆量,为梦想而生,为理想而死。入戏恍如入魔,活过去,方觉人生已是场戏。生与死,又何必执着。

    Milk (2008)    IMDB rating: 8.0

       I wasn’t interested because this was about politics, and gay. And I could imagine(or guess) how much he had been fighting the fairness which was, actually, THE END.

    I was watching Sean Penn having his speech after winning Oscar award. He didn’t mention a single word while the camera was shooting his partner. So then I read from the public entitled he’s a 'womanizer'.

    And that’s how it interested me to watch this movie, a 'womanizer' who is still worth to be awarded. And his acting to me was very convincing. So gay.

    The movie says he didn’t aim to be a politician. But his cognition made him what he was.

     

     

    Phoebe In Wonderland (2008)     IMDB rating: 7.1

        This movie gave me a cretain feeling that I almost wanted to bursted out. This is such a awful film. I thought. How can a kid behave like this! I was feeling angry while watching it. But as the movie was getting to the end I started to pulling myself out of the emotion and telling this is just a movie.

    By having this thought I guess I must say Elle Fanning(the leading actress of the movie, with that famous last name) has done a great job.

    I have no background knowledge about "Alice in Wonderland", so I cannot perceive any meaning behind the story-line. However I found it a bit blur about what the movie was trying tell us.

    Slumdog Millionaire (2008)        IMDB: 8.7

    SLUMDOG_Poster

         To be honest, I somehow think the rate of this year’s best movie would drop slightly down after going through by more audience.

    This movie has a complex background of culture, human nature and love. I’m impressed the way the director has boldly filmed the dark side of a society that a country wouldn’t be so proud of, but thankfully, that is the charm of a superior film. I wish my country could have done that.

     

     

     

    Revolutionary Road (2008)         IMDB: 7.9

    revolutionary_road

         I wasn’t expecting too much from this movie because it has a big deal of commercial element in it. And the preview is not fascinating.

    But I regarded this as a good movie because it has put two extreme in a 50s American family – love and hate. Where is typical but still exploratory. A husband that always forced to be willing to take responsible of a family but overlook what his family needed to be. It gives a question of putting passion above living, or giving passion away for living. DiCaprio and Winslet have done a great job.

     

     

     

    The boy In The Stripped pajamas (2008)          IMDB: 7.9

    boy_in_the_striped_pajamas

         My top favorite movie of the year. It’s an classic yet outstanding story of WW II, a time being seen through an eye of a boy, There’s no war, yet no humanitarian, there’s no sadness, or joy, no blindness, or sight. Confusion is the fence, standing between people yet untouchable.

    Review 2

    "Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest"   IMDB rating: 7.3

    Pirates2FinalPoster

         I couldn’t recall when did I watch the Pirates of Caribbean 1. It didn’t really leave me a good impression though, but this one, adding more strange yucky thing like pirate-style movies always do, had made me laughed several times, suddenly I realized, as nowadays,(well the movie slightly doesn’t count) only a few number of scenes can hilariously surprise people. Maybe I have a strange taste of humor, or maybe one director could consider using some new idea.

         And I do love Keira’s heavy pretending british accent.

     

     

     

    "Kinky Boots" (2005)    IMDB rating:6.9

    untitled

          "The sex is in the heel.”

    May I remind you, this is a movie containing an supporting role of transsexual, and my new fetish, high heels. Transsexual and high heels,both things didn’t have one tiny place in my mind before I came to Melbourne, precisely saying, before an experience of a club and Gucci store.

    This movie more correctly is talking about how an old traditional english factory and the generation renew. The story line can be a little bit more, how to say, updating.

     

     

    "Seven" (1995)            IMDB rating 8.6

    se7en-horror-movie-poster

         Having #33 position among TOP 250 MOVIES at imdb.com. I didn’t decide to watch again until a friend of mine told me that’s his favorite movie. I asked him, what seven deadly sins are, he could only gave me gluttony, greed, lust and envy. It’s hard to give the exact names but we do know what sins generally are. Perhaps not, in the second thought.

    In my opinion, David Mills should die. How come being wrath can survive. Perhaps we can and sometimes we should, in the second thought.

    "Boy A" (2007) IMDB rating: 8.0

    boyaposter   Frankly, I'm not particularly curious about a movie that tells how a teenage boy went through and what there is waiting for him. But the smile of "boy A" has somewhat explained why this movie scored 8 from IMDB.

    The movie keeps throwing me a question, more like a decision, to accept or not his second entrance of society. And also there is, ironically, a father-like man who pay so much attention on his 'son of art' that he missed his responsibility of fatherhood.

    I all along found this movie pretty involving. Till it leaves me an alternative ending,  but on the second thought, why cares the death of a life, but a birth of humane murderer?

     

     

    "Les Femmes de L'ombre"(2008)  IMDB rating: 7.0

    female-agents-les-femmes-de-l-ombre-poster-0    Nazism has always been the top of my favorite movies, plus a number of 5 brave heroines. Also I would like to know why this movie scored lower than it aimed to be.

    All right, perhaps I've pointed biggest highlights of the movie as above, but still the 5 actresses are entertaining enough to catch the other side of soldiers. And that is the only remained in the story.

     

     

     

     

    Jeux d'enfants(2003)  IMDB rating: 7.5

    jeux-d-enfants I was told by a friend to watch this lead actress who took off her career from this movie.

    Yes it is, absolutely. This "Amélie" style brings a lot inspirations and excitements along. Both characters have fell into the purest love, with punching, and laughing at it. More to be hilarious, and idealist, one would say.

    A loving, full of surprising, delightful movie.

    色·戒

    Lust.Caution.2007.TS.XViD-RPWT

    I decided to watch this movie finally(as I bought it two months ago), because I was feeling horny. However this movie was not made as a porn, besides this was about a officeholder couldn't help but fell in love with a college student. At the very ending he signed off on the execution which eventually reminding us that this was only a story of lust. Oh well, you could say that's a love story but just not the way we want to see. Hurrah for a public sexualised chinese movie.

    My Blueberry Nights

    20071224(006)

    I love Jude, I love Natalie, and Norah's voice is very attractive. This movie has already had a good comment from me before I watch it. And I watched it at Monday night, I felt the result could possibably go extreme, Sabrina said it's somewhat boring, I said - you know what I would say. After reading those comments on imdb.com, I figured out people who love this movie would long for a love (or jouney) like that, but people who don't like, it seems to me that,  are hollywood-addicted. At the end, the movie didn't leave me much to think, but admittedly I found myself too much fake british accent!

    Once

    Once

    OH MY GOD, OH-MY-GOD.

    This is so brilliant, utterly brilliant. The initial reason I watched this movie was because it is Irish made. After I watched I felt totally satisfied and comforted, perhaps it has been related to my personal issue lately, I wondered. The actor repeatedly reminded me Damien Rice, it's so touching. However I think the title has already given us the end, that should be the only flaw I've found out. And I'd not take this as an "sad romantic film" because it gave me a feeling like "once you have had it, you have no regret of what's going next." Read the comments from imdb.com for <once>.

    How lucky I am can watch this movie!

    Amazing Grace

    519wXIJ30gL._entertainment-reviews_

    这部影片是讲19世纪一个才华横溢的英国议员在废除黑人奴隶制度的过程中的艰辛。很沮丧,我一句话就把整条故事线概括完了,但事实上并非如此,在现今世界上仍然有2千7百万黑人生活在奴隶世界里。我觉得一部作为好电影的条件就是可以把影片里表达的概念延伸到生活中,而不是哈哈大笑,或者嚎啕大哭。Amazing Grace是我本年度的最佳电影,虽然我觉得主角胃痛那一场有点太夸张,半死不活地给我来这一套。

    Amazing Grace is giving us a story of how a british parliament member made his effort on the abolition of slave trade. In my opinion, it shall be the best movie I've seen in this year, however I think the "suffering from stomach-ache" part was a bit over. As a matter of fact, we still have 27,000,000 slaves suffering in the world, get more information on National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.

    wow.

    FIRST TIME WITH JUDE IN CINEMA

    My Blueberry Nights will be in cinema on 22th Dec. This will be my first time to see Jude on the cinema,  I'm so excited.

    ELIZABETH

    elizabeth

    That is where I learn history, yes. And I suppose this movie was the breaking point of Cate Blanchett's career? In the 'extra' part one actor had mentioned that Robert was the only one who really loved the Elizabeth however the truth might be not. Despite of that, it's definitely worth to see even I had been interrupted...twice.

    Factory Girl

    f60c9025-97b4-42b4-9bbf-5552da50d64d

    不知道Andy Warhol的人基本上不会看上这部电影,但一个都市人若是声称没有看过他的作品,我想这是很难的。正是在电影里无数次掠过的梦露画像或者无数次被讽刺的empty bean can。Sienna Miller演技值得一看,不过,有点我想不明白——她真的可以容忍她这种口音在NY谈笑风生吗?

    Paris, je t'aime

    22fd6251-94da-4956-8ae9-dcc9c7eceec5

          我略有听说过这部电影的背景,是06年戛纳电影节的揭幕片。20位世界著名导演以他们强烈的个人风格描述在巴黎角落发生的爱情故事——我的妈啊这电影也太令人惊喜了吧!

    The Reaping

    s2368666 

    This movie is creepy. really, really, CREEPY. I don't see any fun by making religion more mysterious. Even so, it's worth to watch again, due to I really want to figure out what is the girl for.

    Blood Diamond

    7019ec79-3115-4aba-9997-2878783a0e92

          这部电影的开头就展示了极其残忍而且让我觉得有点夸张的杀人场面,但其真实与否,我无法考证。我们总是无法知道第三世界的真实情况,这一点在电影里的女记者已经暗示了几次,于是,就像电影里所说的,要灭绝这些暴力行为是取决于消费者自己。

    A Mighty Heart

    amightyheartposter

    It looks a bit like documentary when they finding Daniel, although they finally put the theme on track, however, the fact itself is way more greater than the film.

    A Love To Hide

    s1957775

    It's about gay community and policy during World WarⅡ, it shows another side of tragic human life which we had never focused on. Anti-Nazi theme always drive me into tears.

    After that I didn't remember what kind of thing had been hid, though.

    I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry

    8876_163255486492511585a

    As a gay comedy, I would say that's way more better than Eating Out 2.

    <不能说的秘密>

    W020070929645017198670

    把爱情片拍成惊悚片,我也算见识过了。

    可惜情节没有转折到了意料之外,要是主角坐在墓碑旁咬着苹果就好了。

     

    Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix

    img74/4357/3923375fr9.jpg
    I would not recommend to whom never read Harry Potter in books.
    I would not recommend to whom wish to see the whole story in the screen, either.
