韓劇 母親 Mother 마더

這陣子跟大寶寶迷上的韓劇，裡面有小朋友學韓文的部分，很適合初學韓文的人跟著複誦學韓文。

V for Vendetta V怪客

前幾天跟大寶寶一起看了V怪客的英文版，因為google movie的中文版只有簡體中文，翻譯不是很好，就決定先看完英文版再google比較不懂的地方。再慢慢翻譯了解ㄅ。

大概比較難的是以下部分：

V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

[carves "V" into poster on wall]

V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

V: [giggles]

V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey Hammond: Are you, like, a crazy person?

V: Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, whereby those important events of the past, usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you, then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.

推手 Pushing hands

很久沒有悠閒地在下午時間看電影了。

先前應徵某酒店的公關(是正常職位的公關)，有點白目地說期許自己有閒暇時間一年看一百部電影。 當時推手還在待看清單裡頭，就這樣求職不順利，一路找工作上工，而後又忙於工作。總是找不到時間好好看舊片。(看新片也不錯，但看舊片的感受真的很不同)

推手就是會扣人心弦的舊片。

從北京遷居去紐約的老中國人父親，與早就在各國遊蕩最後選擇落腳紐約的兒子一家共處。
感情是沒有對錯的，這感情不單指情侶之間，亦包含家人手足。老父親跟妻子不合，夾在中間的兒子，既是經濟來源，又是孩子的父親，妻子的丈夫，老父親的獨子。

一切都這樣地日常又悲哀，只是單純的家庭生活因為文化不同，處處格格不入。

中國人講吃，講陰陽，講拳法。

美國人講生活，講個人空間，講不被干擾的安靜空間。

當然有些問題是人的個性，跟文化不是那麼地相關，但文化確實讓隔閡顯得更深。
