The Intouchables

Today, I wanna introduce you a french movie which called "The Intouchables". 



It is talking about the strong friendship between patient and caretaker. The protagonist, Philippe, an aristocratic and intellectual quadriplegic millionaire; and Driss, an African live in poor district. Philippe is interviewing candidates for the position of his carer  and Driss cut the lines of candidates and brings a document from the Social Security and asks Phillipe to sign it to prove that he is seeking a job position so he can receive his unemployment benefit. Philippe challenges dirss, offering him a trial period of one month to gain experience helping him. Then Dirss can decide whether he want to stay with him or not. Driss accepts the challenge, changing the boring life of Philippe. 



It is a touching film, but it is not so sentimental. Philippe's life was boring before Driss step into his world. No one dare to break the original and same all the way of the rules of Philippe, but Driss did it. He teach Phipippe to enjoy his life and try something new. He inject a new source of happiness into Philippe 's life! Philippe 's friend worry about him of hiring Dirss, an African who came from poor community. He said these kind of people do not have any pity. But Philippe said to him, "That's what I want , no pity." 

Sometimes, we would think we must show our sympathy to those disabled people or homeless people. But is it really what they want? Have you ever think about it? The help and sympathy you gave was that they need?



Every one have self-esteem. No one want show their weakness to others. You mark them as a weak people as you show your pity to them. There were some people was scolded by disabled people when they were trying to help them or show their sympathy look. 

There was a research said that many disabled people, such as patient and homeless people, they just want you treat them as normal people. They will feel uncomfortable if you show too much caring or pity for them. 

So, next time, if you bump into a disabled people, do not rush to show your sympathy or help them. Oppositely, treating them as normal people and asking them," what you need?" Sometimes you gave them the thing that you think they need but maybe that was not what they need.

《Sunny 陽光姐妹淘》韓國電影推薦!青春不會流逝,只要真心還在!

最近看了好多好看又有意義的電影和電視劇!
今天想來一次過介紹!
首先,先來介紹韓國的電影吧!
我一向來雖然算是個哈韓的人,愛看韓劇和聽韓國的音樂,但其實不太看韓國的電影,看過的也很少。看過較近期的應該就是由徐仁國主演的“No Breathing”和韓孝珠和高修主演的創可貼,而也一直覺得韓國的電影也還好,並沒有很優秀。
但這一部“Sunny”《陽光姐妹淘》讓我對韓國的電影實力改觀。
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
這一部電影是關於在高中義氣相挺的7個好朋友的故事。他們在高中時是一幫叱咤學校的熱血七公主團體,而其中的大姐頭(哈春華)在25年後罹患癌癥,剩下不多的時日。女主角(娜美)在醫院巧遇春花,春花對娜美說自己想念其他的好姐妹,於是娜美擔當起召集姐妹們的任務以完成春花遺願。在這25年裡,他們都沒有里聯絡,因此女主角必須請私家偵探來找,而劇中也一一揭露在25年後各個姐妹的生活。

電影里的高中時期以及25年後的日子是一直穿插著呈現的,現實與回憶的交錯結構方式。我覺得拍攝手法和剪輯手法真的很好,讓觀眾的情緒容易被牽著走,而覺得沒有情緒上轉換的缺口。再配上韓劇最厲害的揪心的配樂,更容易達到情感洗滌的作用。劇中的許多背景音樂都是當時時代的英文流行音樂,也是讓整部戲更活脫的重要元素。

劇中的社會背景,我想也是其中的賣點之一,那時是韓國還在進行民主運動的時候,從此可以更瞭解韓國的歷史的背景。

另外是我發現(雖然沒有很重要=o+),在高中時期,他們的班主任是叫他們不要貼雙眼皮,而25年後,娜美回到學校找班主任時,班主任問同事說:“你最近去割雙眼皮了啊?很好看啊!”此舉動讓我覺得反映了韓國的時代變遷。

這部電影給與我所感受到的主題是青春的流逝。儘管過去的種種都已是過眼雲煙,只剩下腦中的回憶,但只要心裏面還有著大家的友誼及記得曾許下的誓言,那儘管時過境遷,大家各奔東西,各過各的生活,不變的真心還是能讓我們回到從前。

來自星星的你 You Who Came From The Stars


打從這部戲一開播時,就有在看,但是一開始真的覺得其題材太誇張和不現實了,外星人男主角的題材,一開始還真的覺得不能夠負荷,總覺得哪裡怪怪的,因此也就興趣缺缺,沒有一直追著看。但沒想到這部戲會得到如此大的迴響,雖然不知道是不是掉進了媒體的陷阱,(感覺媒體是爲了有話題而誇大報導內容)但我覺得這部戲會得到大家的喜愛也是有其原因的。




“任何事情的發生都是有原因的”

這是我堅信的一句話



首先,我覺得這部戲折射了現代人的慾望,想要被拯救的慾望。在這越驅現實及進步的時代;人們平均壓力量越高的時代,競爭性越來越大的時代,人們何嘗不會有想要被拯救的念頭呢?在自己快要被期望或壓力等壓得喘不過氣的時候;在自己沒有能力做一些事情而感到無助的時候;在困境裡頭無法動彈的時候,大家都希望能夠像劇中千頌伊一樣,大喊都敏俊,然后得到幫助吧?

再加上,韓國電視臺SBS每每出的作品都很有水準,總是能包裝得很好。不管是主要演員的選角、拍攝手法、拍攝陣仗、客串演員、贊助商品等都不會讓人失望。且這部戲配合著寒假時節播出,更能吸引學生群。

我覺得這部戲,若不去追究其誇張的元素,如外星人的話,而是以純屬得到娛樂消遣的心去觀看的話,是不錯的。

在最後幾集中,有好幾次都有被感動。整部戲在查案的兩名刑警,在最後幫都敏俊擺脫法律時;千頌伊一家在擔心千頌伊和都敏俊從醫院消失后去哪裡時;千頌伊一家團圓吃晚餐時;千頌伊看到都敏俊的日記并知道其不離開的後果時;都敏俊的好朋友每每照顧都敏俊時;世美嚇導演為千頌伊保留角色時;福子看到對千頌伊的惡帖而生氣時;千頌伊的前男經紀人為千頌伊著想時;千頌伊的弟弟為姐姐說話時等等,這一些都讓我感到一絲絲的溫暖。

記得千頌伊的爸爸在千頌伊和都敏俊從醫院消失后,安撫千頌伊的母親而說的一句話:"他是頌伊喜歡的人啊。“雖然只是簡單的一句話,但體現了父親疼惜女兒的無限寬容和諒解。

這部戲,有著剛剛好的結局。不太誇張也不太悲情,處理的非常好。我覺得這部戲的編劇真的很厲害!真希望自己也有這番功力!






You Who Came From The Stars, a Korean Drama which is popular nowadays. The audience rating was totally high and it gained many overseas fans, especially in China.   I was surprised by the good responses it got but after I finished it, I think I know the reason. 

The good cast with strong television company, SBS tv never lets audiences disappointed. Nevertheless, people nowadays hope being saved by some supernatural creature, like the main character in this drama. 

I also touched by some warm plot of this drama.T_T

May there are more and more awesome Korean drama in the near future!
