Beowulf

《貝武夫》

故事滿精采的。部份人物用動畫建模實在是很可惜，可能我不是看 IMAX 版，動畫的人看起來就是假假的，真人演花的錢會比建模少嗎…。

演員：

Robin Wright Penn ... Wealthow (as Robin Wright-Penn)

Forrest Gump (1994) (as Robin Wright) .... Jenny Curran

Anthony Hopkins ... Hrothgar

Alexander (2004) .... Old Ptolemy
The Silence of the Lambs (1991) .... Dr. Hannibal Lecter

Ray Winstone ... Beowulf / Golden Man / Dragon

The Departed (2006) .... Mr. French
Cold Mountain (2003) .... Teague

Angelina Jolie ... Grendel's Mother

The Good Shepherd (2006) .... Margaret 'Clover' Russell
Alexander (2004) .... Olympias

Lions for Lambs

《權力風暴》

因為個人喜歡梅嬸，預告片看起來也是我們想看的，就去看了。不是好看的故事，片長 90 分鐘，很短，但都在辯論攻防和說教，IMDB 自然低分 (5.8)，不符合大多數人胃口。

"Never have I seen such lions led by such lambs."

電影主題是美國對阿富汗的出兵及三地在短短一兩個小時內所發生的事情。我們看到別人的決定總是容易嗤之以鼻，我們習慣做壁上觀，等結果出來再大肆批評一番，我們不參與不去試圖改變，卻對這一切發表不滿。

"Rome is Burning!"

難道還有時間歸咎責任嗎？事情已經發生了，我們這些隔岸觀火的人，難道沒有一絲羞赧。

Someone

Lyrics:孫燕姿 Music:孫燕姿 Arranger:Kenn C.

My hair was long & shining
You said you can't believe
How could I walk out that door
Or walk along the streets

You told me I should "you know,
do some bing bang curly wurly afro thing"
I took your word & did
Looked in my mirror"Who's that freak?"

Why does the world deceive
Why do I make believe
Took my heel & made
Achilles out of me

Still I would wanna be
Someone who'd answer to me

Someone who
sees like a child
Gives like a saint
Feels like an angel
Never mind the broken wings and
Speaks like a picture
Cries like the rain
Shines like the star
As long as the fire remains

The vase beside my bed
It's empty almost dead
"It's for all the flowers I'm gonna give you"he said
And now it's collecting dust instead

In the Valley of Elah

《震撼效應》

只因為導演前一部片叫《衝擊效應》這部片就翻成這樣了…唉，台灣的片商，好想哭。乾脆翻成以拉谷的春天算了。只能說小孩大衛奮戰巨人哥利亞的故事是這部片的中心主軸，「為什麼我們要送小孩上戰場？」，片子也由此命名。

不是挺好看的片，但有些東西可以討論。我很喜歡這個導演的表現手法，Crash (衝擊效應) 令我眼睛一亮，什麼都不用說，畫面就可以陳述很多東西了。

導演：Paul Haggis
