reflection on IL MARE

this week we watch movie IL MARE. this movie shot in 2000. that is amazing. because the script and the lighting and the color still good in nowadays.

it is a romantic story which talks about Sung-hyun, who just moved into ' Il mare ' receives a strange letter. The letter is from a young woman in the year 1999, two years from the present. Her predictions about the past are amazingly accurate. Her warning about a flurry of snow on a certain day in January of 1998 and the ensuing flu virus turns out to be true. Eun-Joo is convinced that her letter has traveled back in time to December of 1997 and starts writing regularly to her newfound pen pal. A professional voice actor, Eun-joo asks Sung-Hyun to find her long lost cassette recorder at a train station. Sung-Hyun goes to the train station and gets a glimpse of Eun-Joo, who of course, has no idea who he is.(http://kissasian.com/Drama/Il-Mare)

My opinion: this is an excellent movie. it is about a wonderful time travel and time portals. And acting and music in this movie is also excellent. And after watching this movie i feel it is a bit ahead of time. This movie's script is awesome. But if cannot understand ending. Maybe i need watch again, and then I can understand what is happen after car accident. And I like the house which is build   on lakeside. That is so romantic. After i doing some research I find that Hollywood remake this movie. So we can see how successful this movie did. 

         

reflection on detective chinatown

we are watching detective chinatown in this week.
detective chinatown is an awesome movie.it is reflect on not only characters also the storyline.
because it is Chinese movie so i want to use Chinese to write this reflection.

唐人街探案这部电影无疑是2016年贺岁剧中的一匹黑马。在看之前，听名字本来以为是一部烂片，没想到这部电影在国内的各大影视评论网站上都被拍手叫好。首先来介绍一下这部电影导演——陈思诚。不同于一般的电影，这部电影的导演是演员出身，所以这部电影注定了不会走常规科班出身导演路线，更多的是演员利益自己拍戏的经历结合实践的产物。再一个说演员，王宝强，陈赫，刘昊然，结合了功夫明星，实力派，和国产新晋偶像派小生，强大的演员阵容为整部电影增光添彩。
这部电影的是一部类似于侦探推理与喜剧结合的片子。毋庸置疑在这部电影里我们可以看见多部电影的影子。像我们的记忆神探秦风，他的大脑就像是一所记忆迷宫，可以定格检索。而秦风和主人公唐仁的关系也有点类似日本动漫《名侦探柯南》里柯南和毛利小五郎的关系。甚至在剧中，我们还可以看出一些昆汀和盖里奇的影子。在打戏方面，我们完完全全可以看出这部电影用了许多成龙的梗，吃辣椒，从楼梯上滑下来，这些类似的镜头在成龙早期的功夫电影里已经屡见不鲜了。
还有一点是这个电影的推理风格是本格推理。再一个电影很明显的看出是在向《白夜行》致敬。虽然推理内容比较简单，但还是一步步引领观众走向高潮。
全电影最可怕的一个镜头莫过于小姑娘最后的一个微笑，简直令我毛骨悚然，印象深刻。
所以整部电影下来，可以看出导演费了很多心思，有情怀，有内容，有搞笑，有沉思，总算是一部良心制作的电影

reflection on “black mirror”(week6)

“black mirror” is a wonderful  tv programs. which is using British humor in the series. the key word in all series is "technology "。 this tv series has a big courage to mordacity the social phenomenon in nowadays. and it also get a huge successful. 

black mirror is dark and creepy. it makes us reflection what technology bring to us. it is really good we are using artificial intelligence in our life everyday every minutes. what happen in the future. what happen if our phone become a robot and lose control in the future?

After watching the first episode, I was shocked about the negative reviews it received. I'm going to be honest, it wasn't what I expected but that doesn't make it bad. It was very dark, and very shocking; Had me completely on the edge of my seat throughout. You will have to watch it with an open mind as it is somewhat distasteful and well... extremely far-fetched (Which is pretty absurd for a satire, but I digress.) I did thoroughly enjoy it however, it hit all the right notes.

After watching the second episode, I was left in shock about the jarring contrast from the first episode. It's so different than the prior, it's set in an alternate reality and is just.. unusual. Still dark, still intriguing, but didn't quite capture my imagination the way the first one did.
The third and final instalment was probably my favourite of the 3. It was again, completely unrelated from the previous 2, but it had a really interesting concept and narrative, and was executed phenomenally. 

All in all, the series as a whole is very interesting, if somewhat inconsistent.

 

week7&8 HK CINEMA

in week 6 and week 7 we talk about HK movie. The symbol about Hk films are "kong fu"and "gun fu".

my reflection about hk cinema

the main character in Hk movie always be gangsters. they are might not good guys. they might be called "son of bitch "by other guys. but they have a gold heart. and conflict must be something push he no way to go then he argue in himself. one day he notice he is a hero. he can save this world although he is a small character.

when i talk about hk movie i always relate to a world-- exaggerate. some hk movies are really exaggerate. directors like using gun in hk movie so you can see gun in every senses start to end of movie. the most funny thing is that, this gun the character uses he even doesn't turn the bullets. so when you watching hk gangster film, you will see the characters walking into the location where bad guys lives. then they take out guns opening fire."bang bang bang bang ..."all bad guy dead but our main character is lossless. how could it happen, but, actually, it is happen in the movie.
in 1990s it is the best ages for hk films. there product a lot of good directors and actors in that ages, such as jackie chen, donnie yen, john woo. they like playing with Chinese tradition kong fu and show them on the screen. and there are also a lot of hk film company to support them. so they get enough budget and passion to make film.

hk movie get a huge successful in that age. i still remember when i was a child. i always see a lot of teenagers they copy the make up and characters's dress even their the way they walk and speak from the movie. they learned how to smoke, how to fight just like characters show in movie"young and dangerous". each boy has a dream is own a gun. they all believe they are hero, one day they can save this world and find a beautiful girl love her than abandon her. although it is sounds funny now, but that is the memory of that age of people.
