The Way

This is the first time I heard about Camino de Santiago, Way of St. James as known in English, a pilgrimage route. The storyline is simple and the plot is not too deep. It talks about a father heads overseas to recover the body of his estranged son who died while traveling El camino de Santiago, and decides to take the pilgrimage himself. But it is truly moving.

I like the mood and the music very much. It is quiet, but powerful and thought provoking.Tyler Bates's score sounds incredible. I had tears running down my cheeks when the father decided to cremated the son's body. The journey between parent and children can be long, but it is much closer then we think.

Recently I wanna watch movies relating to traveling or journeys. It builds up my mood to get ready for adventures, and more prepared for staying alone.

Blue is the warmest color

If it is not recommended by friend, I rarely watched a movie focus on gay couple. Rarely watched French movie, I was totally attracted by the 2 natural and beautiful actress.

Comparing to Chapter 1 talking about what brings the couples together, I like Chapter two more revealing what pull them apart. The film becomes a heartrending look at the struggle to overcome differences and the need to find meaning outside a relationship.

I like the quotes very much:

Adele: I miss you. I miss not touching each other. Not seeing each other, not breathing in each other. I want you. All the time. No one else.

Emma: I have infinite tenderness for you and I will my whole life...

Adèle: I am happy. I'm happy with you, like this. It's my way of being happy.

Begin Again

Since I got my back pain in these 3 years, I haven’t been watching movies in a theatre as sitting in the theatre for several hours after sitting all day long in office is killing me. 

Yesterday I watched “Begin Again”. I felt so excited and searched for review online before watching it. The general comment is that it is not as good as “Once” and quite a Hollywood blockbuster. So I don’t have high expectation.

“Begin Again” is generally a joyful and charming movie, though it really lacks the natural charm of Once.  you can feel that the director makes it with self-conscious calculation that inevitably limits its appeal. Anyway, I enjoy the movie as it is better than I expected. The music is the most important element and it builds up the vibe well. The lyrics links the story smoothly.

Knightley does not have an inborn beautiful voice but I think she is fine. She has a soft and lilting voice that suits the material. Overall, the songs are pleasantly engaging if not quite so powerful as the key tunes from the “Once” soundtrack. Still, it leaves me warming feeling after I left the theatre.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

開拓視野，看見世界，貼近彼此，感受生活，這就是生活的目的

To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer,to find each other and to feel.

That is the purpose of life.

It touches me. I think Ben Stiller gives the film a soul. Something deep in my heart is awakened. I like the message from the book or the movie, "We all have something inside us waiting to get out, and all it takes is the courage to stop dreaming and start living."

Chiang Mai & Pai

I never knew that this 1 week trip, will give such a powerful aftershock to me - it reminds me to recapture my own adventurous spirit. Met a lot of Europeans and appreciated their "living in the moment" spirit. This reminder keeps rippling in my heart.

非誠勿擾 I & II

感動分為很多種

快樂會令人感動  悲傷也會令人感動  誠意令人感動   真心更不用說感動

看完這部片子卻有另外 一種感動，比我預想的好看很多。

記得幾年前我媽在看時叫我一起看，我一臉不屑的不想看，不知是否現在人大了，懂得欣賞其中的對白和細節。片名實在改得很好，一聽就會被吸收了。一口氣看了1和2，我更喜歡 <非2>，因為它更有創意、更富哲理。

2部帶來的感動不太一樣。在上一部《非誠勿擾》中，我感受到了中年人的孤獨。

而在《非誠勿擾2》中，我感受到了中年人面對人生短暫的惶恐。

一輩子很短。人生，確實是有限的。正因為此，我們總是試圖在自己不能永恆的生命旅程中，或嚮往或尋找或者堅持一些“永恆”的東西。比如，一段長久的婚姻，一群長久的朋友，一個不變的承諾等等。真正的永恆是沒有的，所有的永恆都來自於堅守。這或許就是影片中所說的——活著其實是一種修行。

《非誠勿擾 2》裡李香山的生前告別式

女兒川川念了六世達賴喇嘛 倉央嘉措的〈見與不見〉，相當感動我。

很多人認為，這首《見與不見》為六世達賴喇嘛倉央嘉措所作。實際上，這是一個流傳甚廣的謬誤。這首詩歌，應名為《班扎古魯白瑪的沉默》，作者為扎西拉姆·多多，該詩出自其2007年創作的作品集《疑似風月》。

你見，或者不見我

我就在那裡

不悲不喜

你念，或者不念我

情就在那裡

不來不去

你愛，或者不愛我

愛就在那裡

不增不減

你跟，或者不跟我

我的手就在你手裡

不捨不棄

來我的懷裡

或者

讓我住進你的心裡

默然 相愛

寂靜　 歡喜

這首詩寫盡了飽滿又包容的感情

給對方選擇

無怨無悔的守候

死生契闊的相伴

苦短的人生能得此親情 友情或愛情

在這場修行中

都得再三感恩珍惜的了

還有片尾曲〈最好不相見〉的歌詞

也是改編自倉央嘉措的〈十誡詩〉

詩中從另一個層面爬梳了深刻的感情：

最好不相見     演唱：李漠   作曲：巒樹 

最好不相見，便可不相戀。

最好不相知，便可不相思。

最好不相伴，便可不相欠。

最好不相惜，便可不相憶。

最好不相愛，便可不相棄。

最好不相對，便可不相會。

最好不相誤，便可不相負。

最好不相許，便可不相續。

但曾相見便相知，相見何如不見時。

安得與君相訣絕，免教生死作相思。

最好不相見，便可不相戀
最好不相知，便可不相思
最好不相伴，便可不相欠
最好不相惜，便可不相憶
最好不相依，便可不相偎
最好不相遇，便可不相聚

倉央嘉措(1683－1706)，是西藏歷史上有名的浪漫詩人，在世界詩壇上聲名顯赫。流傳至今的詩作約60余首，除藏文原著廣泛流傳，還有至少10種的漢譯本，國外還有英語、法語、日語、俄語、印地語等譯本。《最好不相見》所改編自的《十誡詩》，實際上是好事者的續貂之作，詩意源自於道泉漢譯的倉央嘉措詩第62首，但原詩只有四句：“第一最好是不相見，如此便可不至相戀；第二最好是不相識，如此便可不用相思。”而長達22句的《十誡詩》，據說最早出現在網絡小說《步步驚心》中。

非誠勿擾經典語錄

一輩子很短，婚姻怎麼選都是錯的，長久的婚姻就是將錯就錯

人生就是一場修行。

 這不是病，這是命，我的命找我來了，我只能從命。--李香山得癌之後的感悟。

死是另一種存在，相對於生，只會生活是一種殘缺。--香山的女兒在人生告別會上的話。

舒淇：一見鍾情不是你一眼看上了我或者是我一眼看上了你，不是看，是味道，彼此被對方的氣味吸引了，迷住了，氣味相投你懂嗎?

<非1>主題曲歌詞: 福兮禍所伏 禍兮福所依

被拍攝的瞬間

第一次拍寫真。10年前老媽說去台灣的時候應該要拍寫真留念。後來沒有拍，十分後悔，因為那真是最美麗，最青春的時候。剛好朋友說去福田蔓延視覺Many visions拍姊妹照，看過他們的相覺得拍得不錯，很想拍些時尚黑白照，就柴娃娃心態跟去玩玩了，RMB600一套衣服2個場景包化妝set頭可晒10張7R照片。

很好玩，原來拍照這麼難，僵硬的我們，只能每一個動作都由攝影師教，他很帥，，人也很好，會不停地讚你，說很好很美，鼓勵你。反而他的助手一臭面不耐煩，可能看得麻木了。老實說笑多了很累很僵。


第一次拍床照有點尷尬。那一刻躺在床上，只能聽他的，任他擺佈，彼此的距離很近，近得我在他的鏡頭裡看到自己，因此你也必須很信任他。那一瞬間，只屬於你和攝影師的私密時空，只有你倆知道那一刻做過些什麼， 只有你倆的交流，這種感覺很奇妙，尤其事後在看照片的時候。再次感受到攝影的神奇。

完的時候，望住攝影師說再見，真有點依依不捨......難怪說模特兒會愛上攝影師，演員也很容易愛上導演......

謝謝我的朋友們，這個送給自己的生日禮物很有紀念價值，雖然現在看自己有很多不滿，不是那裡肥就是那裡鬆，但我想，10年後的我看道輯照片時，就如現在的我看17歲的自己，原來曾經那樣青春！
