電影《沙丘瀚戰》評價兩極,我沒有閱讀過原著小說,完全是一張白紙的狀態入場觀看,說不上很喜歡,但如果推出續集的話是一定願意入場的,畢竟Part One只是序章,用了不少篇幅去建構架空而龐大的迷人世界觀,不至於複雜到難以消化,只是剛步出新手村因此還未沉迷到通宵解任務的地步,不過絕對願意課金買個新手包上路的那種程度。
我比較想談談的是導演Denis Villeneuve最近批評Marvel電影公式化,只是不斷的複製和貼上:
There are too many Marvel movies that are nothing more than a cut and paste of others. Perhaps these types of movies have turned us into zombies a bit.
我不認為Denis Villeneuve是單純的吃不到的葡萄是酸的,他的Arrival是我非常喜歡的作品,看過電影之後還特意去找姜峯楠的原著來讀,也因此更加佩服Denis Villeneuve的能耐。
Arrival的原著《妳一生的預言》算是較難改編成電影的小說,一來它是篇幅只有不到90頁的短篇故事,要擴展成兩小時的電影就需要相當大程度地改寫,二來小說採非線性敘事方式,第一與第二人稱不斷交插敘述,是本像詩篇一樣的科幻小說,但Arrival不止補完小說省去的部分,變成一個結構更完整的故事,也成功用影像呈現出小說溫柔而哀傷的調子。加上《沙丘》也是被稱為史上最難改編的小說,這兩部作品也並非copy and paste可以了事,因此Denis Villeneuve確實一而再地證明了他的才華,也許他的確有批評的資格。
不過有資格去批評,也不代表一定要直斥。
Denis Villeneuve不齒的Marvel曾經瀕臨破產,而其中一個挽狂瀾於既倒的人是在Iron Man飾演Happy的Jon Favreau。
Jon Favreau作為Iron Man的導演,力薦當時因吸毒而事業低迷的Robert Downey Jr.擔綱男主角,結果為Marvel殺出一條血路,也為The Infinity Saga揭開序幕。
Jon Favreau如今沒有再執導Marvel電影,他在Netflix上有一個烹飪節目叫The Chef Show,每集到不同地方邀請名人或廚師一邊煮食一邊聊天,美食固然是賣點,但Jon和每集嘉賓流露的創作甚至人生態度才是這個節目最值得一看的地方。例如其中一集緬懷首位憑食評獲得普立茲獎的傳奇美食評論家Jonathan Gold,Jon回想自己在籌備電影Chef之前曾經拜訪過他,當時Jonathan Gold說了一番頗有意思的話。
Jonathan Gold說他常常到沒有名聲的小餐廳,如果他不喜歡那裡的菜式,他從來不會公開批評一句,因為他不想傷害那些還在努力當中的小店,他之所以比較喜歡幫助一些有潛力的好餐廳吸引更多人注意,全因為「He knew what his spotlight would do」。
當然了,Marvel不是小店,不會因為一句批評就倒下,不過當一個人愈是有能力,說話愈是有份量,那就更加應該謹言慎行,讓自己的影響力發揮正面作用,或者比張口批評來得更有意思。
Marvel的確有些爆谷電影,但優秀的作品也有不少,不說鋪排了十一年的Endgame,就算是我早幾天翻看的Doctor Strange,說的是一個自負好勝的smart ass,在最後甘願放下自我用「不斷輸」的方式來救世,也是相當可敬的不是嗎?
最後,Doctor Strange的導演也retweet了自己以前一則Tweet作為對Denis Villeneuve的回應:
As a director I don’t slag on the work of other directors even when I don’t like something they’ve made. This job is hard enough for all of us, and nobody ever sets out to make a bad movie.

這個beat的旋律和鼓組,是我從黑教取樣下來的,完成之後覺得應該給他點生命,那陣子剛好 @ill_mo 的BBWC發行,我ㄧ聽就愛上,腦海不斷重複副歌的Flow,於是鼓起勇氣跟老莫要了Vox,放上去之後覺得幹他媽的太屌了!於是人生第一個remix就出現了!
感謝我的夥伴 @sammliang 在美國幫我搞定Mixing&Mastering (我不知道他是不是有Ma啦)

然後Big up to @_tarolin ,原曲超好聽!最後是 @ill_mo 老師的support!!!

看到封面嚇到,經濟學人直接表明支持拜登
看著搖曳破敗的國旗,我想今年如果給美國一個關鍵字,大概是分裂 divided
一開始看這標我還在猜是編輯的心機
Why it has to be Joe Biden
因為這個不完整句有兩大方向的解讀法:
1. 為什麼應該支持拜登
2. 為什麼一定要是拜登出來選(才能跟川普抗衡)
讀完我確認是第一個意思,貨真價實的拉票文
我們來讀一段就知道我怎麼判斷
Joe Biden is not a miracle cure for what ails(致病) America. But he is a good man who would restore steadiness and civility(穩定與禮貌) to the White House. He is equipped to begin the long, difficult task of putting a fractured(崩裂的) country back together again. That is why, if we had a vote, it would go to Joe.
最後一句非常明確,假設語氣第二型,意思是經濟學人手上沒有票,但如果有票,會投拜登
-
這一段說美國面臨命運的抉擇,一邊是川普的乖張,一邊是「本報認為能夠向世界彰顯美國價值」的拜登:
In this election America faces a fateful choice. At stake is the nature of its democracy. One path leads to a fractious, personalised(經濟學人都用英式拼法) rule, dominated by a head of state who scorns decency and truth. The other leads to something better—something truer to what this newspaper sees as the values that originally made America an inspiration around the world.
「this newspaper sees 」很明白是刊物的立場
-
結論還是不免俗來個經濟學人很愛在提出預測之後補上的免責聲明:
In his first term, Mr Trump has been a destructive president. He would start his second affirmed in all his worst instincts. Mr Biden is his antithesis. Were he to be elected, success would not be guaranteed—how could it be? But he would enter the White House with the promise of the most precious gift that democracies can bestow: renewal.
經濟學人寫道:拜登是川普的對立面,不過誰能保證拜登一定會讓美國成功呢?但他會帶著民主最珍貴的禮物所承載的諾言進入白宮:更新
讀完這段免責結論我冒出滿多問號的 #你怎麼想?
我正在準備一個開票外電直播節目 敬請期待支持啦
到底會是開票日還是變成開票週甚至開票月
接下來的美國和太平洋此岸的我們會怎麼走呢
一起繼續看下去

made man意思 在 Lisa hui 許靜雯 Youtube 的最佳貼文
The way I feel
作词作曲&和音:许静雯Lisa Hui 编曲混合:Awesome Studio
Lisa 的創作心靈:
當你不被你的愛人認可,卻想要引起他的對你注意力,那就只能盡你所能展示你魅力了吧。
只有18歲的Lisa愛唱歌,寫歌,跳舞,Lisa寫這首歌時候是想運用阿拉伯曲風與西班牙風格組成混合,希望藉着異國風情的熱情舞曲展示出她對愛人的那份熱愛。
這曲寫給她的愛人,他會欣賞嗎?
可惜那時候那位愛人已經愛上了另一位女生,而他卻沒男子漢的擔當,不敢勇敢的承認。還取笑Lisa 為他寫的歌,說Lisa寫的歌詞沒意思而且還很搞笑,哈哈大笑地取笑Lisa。其實對Lisa是滿諷刺的,只是Lisa 放不下那段感情,畢竟那時候已經拍拖3年半,雖然感情上的分分合合,讓Lisa心靈有重重的挫敗感,但Lisa 根本不想放棄。
Lisa還是把滿滿的愛意寫給這位愛人。 打從心底希望愛人能夠欣賞。只可惜最後都是有緣無分。
這也是Lisa 專輯裡面唯一的一首英文歌曲。
The way I feel
Melody, Lyrics & Harmonies : Lisa Hui Mixing & Arrangement : Awesome Studio
Lisa's creative mind soul:
When you are not recognized by your lover, but want to attract his attention to you, then you can only show your charm as much as you can.
The 18-years-old Lisa loves to sing, write, and dance. When Lisa wrote this song, she wanted to use a mix of Arabic style and Spanish style, hoping to show her love for her lover through exotic passionate dance music.
Will this song be written to her lover?
Unfortunately, at that time, the lover had fallen in love with another girl, he did not have the responsibility of a man, and dared not to admit the relationship bravely. Also making fun of Lisa’s song for him, saying that Lisa’s lyrics are boring and funny, and do not make sense, and made fun of Lisa with a loud laughter.
In fact, Lisa is full of irony, but Lisa can't let go of that relationship. After all, she has been dating with him for 3 and a half years. Although the separations and combination of emotions made Lisa's heart frustrated as a teenager, true love is what she longs for. Lisa didn't want to give up at all.
Lisa still wrote a lot of love to this lover. From the bottom of her heart, She hope this lover can appreciate it. It's a pity that in the end they were all destined apart from each other.
This is the only English song on Lisa’s album.
