Movie: Perhaps Love


Perhaps Love



Information


Director:陳可辛

Starring:金城武、張學友、周迅、池珍熙


Story

This is the typical love story. First, the leading men and the herorin were coulpe tens years ago and they all become superstar nowadays. Then, the scene zoom in to the past memory about their love in the past and the outcome of their love. Though they seperate for 10 years, the leading man still loves the herorin and waits for her to come back. Therefore, that's all about the story begin and continue.




My reflection

This film is special because it's use lots of dancers which is hard to seen in oriental movie. In my opinion, I really like the dance, chores and clothing in this movie. They are all so great no less than foreign dance movie. I think from this leading example, eastern world can come out lots of
dance movie and color the area that our movie is lack of.

By the way, I really like the role that 張學友 plays. He first feels angry when he finds out the ex-boyfriend of his girlfriend. He tried to persuade himself that his grilfriend love himself and keeps silent to see what will the thing go on. Then, after few days, he finds that he can't still replace the position of ex-boyfriend in his girlfriend's mind. In the end, he choose to let his girlfriend go and free himself at once. It's just a big turning point and is also a reflection of totally understament toward life.

Even though there are lots of bad comments on this movie, I still like it! It's simple a love story and that is all!!


Movie:Brokeback Mountain




Brokeback Mountain


Information


Director:Ang Lee
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal、Heath Ledger、Anne Hathaway、Anna Faris




The imprtant actor in the world: Heath Ledger

Story

This is the story happened in the Western America at about 1960-1970. Two men are hired to keep the sheep on the Brokeback Mountain. However, after few days in the mountain, they both find each other important to themselfes. Contrast to their expectations, they neeed to face the reality everytime they come out of the Brokeback Mountain. In order to be accepted by most of the people,the two men form from their own family seperately and even have their offsprings. In fact,the film is not only the homosexual moviem, but a movie talks about love.



My Reflection

It is hard to express the feeling after watch Ang Lee's movie. This film is so special and will broaden your horizon.
In this movie, you can't analysis it by using the commen methods that is universal. Actually, Ang Lee's uses the delicate Chinese thought to show this movie. Orignally, the book that Brokeback Mountain adopted only has 50 pages. It's so short that you will feel amazed by Ang Lee's ability to make the movie in such length and deatiled description.The director even emphasis on each small items in order to show the perfect work. For example, the director are willing to give more details such as the different personalities and behaviors in advance, so that make it more resaonable and can easily strike a chord with audience when the plot happened to the love between this two men. By the way, if you are more careful, you will find that the actors appearence, clothings and even sounds change in three different process in their lifes.

Though this is the love between two men,the movie talks more about the struggle that they need to face in the real lifes such as family. One scene that I feel so impressed is the behavior of one's wife after she sees the men's kiss and realizes his husband is a homosexual. At first, she fears,hide, cried and later calm, spechless and decide what to do. You will also feel your heart is broken when you see this kind of situation. The issue of family is also what's the director good at .On accout of the struggle between the reality, you can see these two men's different behavior, but at least they fight for their love.

This movie is sooooooooooooo excellent!! I can't express it whole only in words. Mybe the best way is to see the movie by yourself!

The most meaningful scene: I owe U!

Movie: Painted Skin

Though it's the story about ghost, the love between human and monster is so touching.


Painted Skin


Information


Director: 陳嘉上

Starring: 周迅、趙薇、甄子丹、陳坤、孫儷


Story

The film adopts the story from an ancient Chinese story about the ghost.

It said about a monster who want to experience the life of human being pretend a normal people and join one of the family member of the famous warrior. At first, the monster does everything she could to lure the warrior, but the warrior refuses because he already has a wife. In the past, his wife decide to chose the warrior and not the other guy. Thus, even though the warrior like the pretend monster, he've never done something that will make his wife sad. Meanwhile, the warrior's life knows her husband love this newcomer and also find out the true face of the monster. She decides to fullfill this love and sacrifice herself. The most important and touching part is about the the monster's attitude toward love and the attitude is differ according to the monster's understanding about love.



My Reflection

Orginally, I thought it's a ghost story from the poster , so I feard so terribly to watch a horror story alone. Thus, I asked my sister to accompany me and later found out that the moive is so lovely and touching.

It's not dare to say the most impressed part is the monster's attitude toward love in different process. At first, the monster thinks that to love is to possession. Therefore, she uses tricky methods in order to attract the warrior and produces accidents to let everyone admire herself more than the warrior's wife. However, she can't get the equal payment for a long time and thinks that she can owe everthing if the warrior's wife dead. To her surprise, the love between the warrior and his wife is so stable that moves the monster's attitude. In the end, the monster inspire that to love is to let the lover feel happy.

I really like the end of the story when the monster understand the nature of love, she decide to exchange her thousand years life for everyone. I was soooooo moved at that time and thought this behavior was so noble no matter what the monster had done before. You will know that the monster trully understands what's the simple rule of the universal which we even sometimes forget in our lifes.

Movie:500 Days Of Summer

This is the latest movie.
It's not a love story but it's a story about love.
It's soooo amazing!!



500 Days Of Summer

Information

Website: http://www.foxsearchlight.com/500daysofsummer/

Date: 2009-11-20

Director:Marc Webb

Starring: Zooey Daschanel、Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Story
There is a women who don't belive love at all called Summer(Zooey Daschanel) and she meets a man called Tom(Joseph Gordon-Levitt). They work in the same card company. Summer is the new assistant and Tom who majors architect in collge is good at inventing the wishes used in the card.
The movie recorded the process of their love in 500 days: meeting each other, falling in love ,breaking up and getting over. Actually, it discuss the nature of the love and it's not a romance.
My reflection
At first, I was attracted by the beautiful and handsame starring but later I thought the topic that the movie wants to express is so meaningful and touching.The movie honesty reflects different faces of love and can strike a chord with the audience since it adopt the things that often happened in our daily life!
People who first saw this movie must scold at Summer at first,however, as you think the story over, you will find that it is just what's love goning on. In love, there is no right or wrong to love a person and it's hard to express one's feeling about love. Indeed, later you will figure out that Tom is the person to be blamed for because of his fears to face his real feeling. This behavior just likes what we will done when we fall in love. We may find proper excuses to make up for the feeling that we don't like and disguise the ungly truth. Our eyes are prone to blind and our ears are prone to close as long as you fall in love.
I think the movie carves the flavors of love well. It's amazing that even the movie discuss the serious topic while the tempo of its is so lightly and joyful. When you finish the movie, you just ponder a while, agree what the movie said and still have courage to find a one. No wonder this movie recommend by lots of people.

Movie: Crash

The best film of 2006.

Introduction:

Director:Paul Haggis

Starring:Sandra Bullock、Brendan Fraser、Don Cheadle、Matt Dillon、Jennifer Esposito、William Fichtner、Ryan Phillippe

Story:

The film talks about some crashes happenend in the U.S.A. The most notable part is about the discrimination between the different races. The director also uses some special shooting techniques to show the story and makes the film have strength.

At first, you will only see the crime scene of car accident, but the main four actors will appear at that place in different time. Originally, they don't know each other before and there is no connection between each other's life. However, because of this car accident, each of their lifes founds some relationships between them. From their stories, you may see the cruelty and truth of life.

My reflection:

This is not the love story! Actually, this is the most insightful movie that you can watch again and again. Then, you will start to ponder the true meaning of life. The film can help you discover some areas that you never experience before and be persuaded by the film's plot. Since this kind of plot will happen every day in your life, there is no one to talk about this thngs obviously. Through the director's point of view, you can not only totally understand those sucks things that the director want to express but also have more compansion after knowing the stories of each person. At that time, you will understand why a person whould have this kind of odd behavior. Maybe it's because of the person's poor childhood or the person may be hurt by someone at once. In the end, you will find out no one should be blames for only one of himself's behavior!!

I've watched this movie for many times and still feel it is enchanting!! There are lots of things you can discuss with your friend. It help you open your horizon and you can have some insights toward life!
