儘管Tim Burton 是很有才華的導演(《愛德華剪刀手》、《蝙蝠俠》、《查理和巧克力工廠》、《愛麗絲漫遊奇境記》等),但總的來說,我不怎麽喜歡他的電影,對我來説,他的電影多數很燥閙,用我的承受力衡量,算比較極端。
但我對他的一部電影特別喜歡,就是本周要給大家推薦的:
Big Fish (2003) (《大魚》/《大智若魚》)
這是一個講父子關係和愛情的奇異怪誕電影。
父親和成年的兒子關係疏遠,多年不聯係了。父親在臨終前,對身邊的兒子講述了自己年輕時的種種離奇的經歷。因爲年代久遠,這些故事的真實性已無法證實,但其中不可思議的想象力和無法抵抗的畫面感,將兒子帶入到一個童話般的世界中去。
你相信嗎:用結婚戒指釣大魚?在沼澤地帶遇到巫婆?綠野仙蹤般的小鎮?美人魚?兩頭舞女?能變成狼的馬戲團老闆?巨人···
懷著巨大的好奇心和疑慮,兒子開始對父親不可思議的故事的調查。在這個過程中,兒子發現了自己想像力和講故事的才能。同時他也意識到,“講故事”對生存是多麽重要。
後來,兒子也有了兒子,故事就這樣一代代傳下去。
這個電影娛樂性極強,當中的愛情故事溫暖感人。電影音樂抒情動聽(獲得奧斯卡提名),演員陣容強大(英國明星居多)。是一個難得的好電影!
祝大家有一個愉快的周末!

能不能讲讲有关劳工权利的话题? Manager and HR fabricated incident to terminate employee with no evidence in order to hire somebody with a lower pay. Employee cannot even sue them because lawyers advise employee that it’s legal for employer to treat employee unfairly. It sounds so sad.
I love your program. Thank you!
BTW, I disagree with you guy’s view on US bombing on Japan. As we all know how many Chinese were killed, how many women were raped by Japanese. Nothing can make up for what they did to Chinese.
Before the bombing Japanese was aiming to control the world. US repeatedly warned Japanese before the bombing, but nothing could stop them. They only surrendered when US was prepared to drop the third bomb on them. They got what they deserve. Sometime it takes severe punishment to stop a bad behavior like sending a bad guy to prison.
Continued…When Japanese surrendered, the whole world were cheering for US. There was no criticism to US at the time as far as I know. We had to look at the situation at the time.
The Chinese community party ridiculously claimed that they forced Japanese to surrender. I did not know the truth until I left China. Like many other things, the Chinese community party always lie.
