7/17(Mon)單車失竊記(討論貧與貪.絕望與迷信.亂世與公權力.父子情) 超正點網站:http://www.culturevulture.net/Movies/BicycleThief.htm 超正點網站: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19990319/REVIEWS08/903190306/1023 The Bicycle Thief (1948) Golden Globe Award: Best Foreign Film - 1950 New York Film Critics Circle Award: Best Foreign Language Film - 1949 Suggested reading: The Companion to Italian Cinema (1996), Geoffrey Nowell-Smith Italian Film in the Light of Neorealism (1987) Millicent Joy Marcus Set in post-World War II Rome, The Bicycle Thief tells a simple story well, relying for its impact on gritty realism and emotional verity. There are no subplots, there are just a few key characters, the dialogue is the day-to-day talk of poor people struggling to survive - not the ingredients for heady debate over coffee after the movie. Still, it is a film one will not quickly forget. Director Vittorio de Sica pioneered a lean, stark presentation with nonprofessional actors. The style, with its subject matter based on hard postwar life, epitomizes Italian neorealism. Here we follow the fortune of Antonio, a family man whose wife pawns their household linens so that they can reclaim from the same pawnshop a bicycle that is required for a job he has been offered. Jobs are scarce and the family is poor; much depends on possession of the bike. The bicycle is stolen on Antonio's first day at work and he and his young son search the streets of Rome in hopes of recovering it. A series of frustrating episodes mark the day, tension and desperation growing as chances for recovering the bicycle, and with it, their dashed hopes, fade. The events of the day, from a confrontation with a suspect and his neighbors, to a respite with an ill afforded restaurant meal, to a visit to a fortune teller have a cumulative effect, deepening our understanding of, and feelings for, father and young son. Their humanity glows, even through their misery, and their despair becomes ours. 我最怕看的電影.又最愛看的電影義大利-Ladri di biciclette 日本-螢火蟲之墓台灣近代三部曲--無言的山丘, 稻草人, 香蕉天堂戰爭..貧窮..動亂..痛苦..死亡..種種的威脅讓人性赤裸裸攤在陽光下看了鐵心痛鐵飆淚鐵定不捨ㄚ~~~ 我要好好珍惜我有的ㄧ切

7/19(Wed)神鬼奇航2(介紹演員強尼戴普,及代表作品 Jack Sparrow) 超正點網站:http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/pirates/ Depp says he likes to portray Sparrow as "sexually ambiguous" and that he is probably bisexual Personality Captaincy Sparrow has an unwavering desire to captain the Black Pearl and only the Black Pearl, and the majority of his actions in the first film are simply the means to this end. His desire is demonstrated in his willingness to barter for it — he offers his subordination and 25% of his pirates’ earnings to Captain Barbossa should Sparrow be given back his command, although it could have been only a ploy to convince Barbossa he was on his side. As Sparrow explains to Elizabeth, "what a ship is — what the Black Pearl really is — is freedom." In Dead Man's Chest, it's established that Jack literally sold his soul for the Pearl and is rightly its Captain; still, when they're forced to abandon ship, Sparrow tells Gibbs, "She's only a ship, mate." Demeanor Sparrow's most obvious characteristic is a slightly drunken stagger, accompanied by awkwardly flailing hand gestures that make him look unfocused (or possibly slightly ataxic). These could result from the heat stroke he was rumored to have suffered while marooned, though he actually spent that time cavorting with the rum runners who helped him escape. Sparrow's gestures are also believed to be a ploy to help keep his enemies off-guard. His perpetual drunkenness could also lead to his tendency to slur his speech. Jack possesses a distinctive tattoo on his right forearm of a sparrow flying in front of a setting sun over the ocean. This is apparently a well-known identifying mark for the infamous pirate as Commodore Norrington seemed to recognize it immediately. He also had the letter "P" (for pirate) branded on his right wrist by the East India Trading Company. Whilst playing with a P brand Cutler Beckett later mentions in the second film that he and Sparrow had "marked" one another at some point, while Beckett's "mark" is presumably the "P" brand, exactly how Jack marked Beckett is as of yet unknown. But Beckett does bear a "P" brand on his arm as well if you look closely. Jack's effects Jack carries a number of items on his person at all times (including his tricorne, pistol, sword, and coat, collectively known as "his effects"), most notably his compass. Apparently received in a barter (or quite possibly stolen) from the voodoo doctress Tia Dalma, Jack's compass points towards whatever the person holding it desires most, instead of the usual behavior of pointing North. Generally, it points to a treasure or valuable item, but it can also point to people, and works for anyone who picks it up and even while untouched on the ground, as evidenced in Dead Man's Chest. This could be an memory imprint of the compass — it may remember what the last person to touch it wanted, and continues to point at it until another picks it up. Jack's compass appears to fail him at the start of the second film; however, it works later for Elizabeth because she is focused on saving Will. Jack convinces her that the only way to do that is by finding the Dead Man's Chest. Later, when the compass is held by Elizabeth, it points towards Jack, leading her to complain that the compass is broken. She sits down in the sand and, when Jack looks at the compass on the ground, it points towards Elizabeth; he says, "You're sitting on it", and motions for her to move off the spot. After the single-shot pistol that he intended to use to kill Barbossa, Jack's hat seems to be his most beloved object. When it is in his possession he is never seen without it, and he always makes specific mention of it when discussing "his effects". In a comedic turn of events, Jack loses his tricorne during the beginning of the second film and his command to leave it behind surprises the crew to such an extent that they are struck motionless; the hat is eaten by the Kraken soon afterwards. Jack spends the length of the film searching for an adequate replacement, at one point stopping a pub fight to try on many of the fighters' tricornes. He eventually regains it towards the end of the movie when it is spat out by the Kraken prior to his ingestion. Traits While atypical for a pirate, Sparrow is also known for his altruistic nature; he often puts himself in harm's way to save other people, most notably Will and Elizabeth. The film's script suggests Jack's kindness is part of the reason why his crew mutinied—when Jack offers a nonviolent way to find a piece of the cursed Aztec gold on the Navy ship Interceptor, Barbossa claims, "Now, y'see Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easier to search when they're dead." Additionally, he appears highly adept at employing game theory to achieve his ends. Jack believes himself to be a ladies' man, explaining that he has an "intuitive sense of the female creature"; however, he is seemingly unable to commit to a long-term relationship. Jack is presented as adept at sweeping ladies off their feet—once (women seem to have a sour memory of Sparrow, slapping him or anyone looking for him). Jack apparently suffers from extremely bad breath. He caused Norrington to take a step back when he got a little close, and made Governor Swann gag at the end of the first film. (On the DVD commentary, Gore Verbinski quoted his breath resembling, "the inside of a donkey's ass.") When he attempted to romantically approach Elizabeth during Dead Man's Chest, she noted various things that made them different people, including "personal hygiene". According to the audio commentary featuring the scriptwriters on the DVD for the first Pirates film, while Jack's swordplay is formidable in its own right, Sparrow is the least talented in comparison with Turner, Barbossa, and Norrington, relying on his wits more than his swordplay to get himself out of tough situations. The sparrow tattoo was a symbol used historically by sailors to show off their sailing experience. It was the image of a bluebird, or "sparrow," usually tattooed on the chest. A sailor with one sparrow had traveled over 5,000 nautical miles; a sailor with two sparrows had traveled 10,000 miles. Traveling these great distances was extremely difficult and dangerous in the early days of sailing, so one or more sparrow tattoos denoted a very experienced and valuable sailor. In the last 25 to 35 years, people have begun to place sparrow tattoos on their necks for the sake of nostalgia, not for any symbolic meaning; the world of sailing has changed dramatically since sparrow tattoos first came into being. Jack the monkey Jack the monkey, with Captain BarbossaThe monkey, Jack (after Jack Sparrow), is a fictional Capuchin monkey in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. He was Captain Barbossa's pet and sailed with him aboard the Black Pearl. Like the rest of the crew, Jack was cursed so that he couldn't die, and turned skeletal in the moonlight. He was named, mockingly, after Pearl's former master, Captain Jack Sparrow.
