尋找她香的故事(Perfumes) - 格力哥利·馬格尼(Gregory Magne))



電影女主角的嗅覺很敏鋭,是一個專業調香師。
她在事業的高峰時替有名香水品牌研發香水。
後因一些工作失誤導致事業江河日下,
事業最低潮時更短暫失去了嗅覺。

當她的人生和事業都到達崩潰邊緣時,
他的新僱用的司機以一個局外人的身份,
向她提供面對生活的勇氣和動力,重新發展其事業。

女主角是一個專業調香師,
也可說是一個嗅覺藝術家。
嗅覺藝術家失去嗅覺,
等於失去了她的創作能力。
藝術生命可以因此而終結,非常恐怖,
看此電影有此感覺。

Passenger - When were young

當下是做想做的事的最佳時機。



 We used to never say never

Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come

Remember when we were young
Look back to the best of days
Collecting all yesterdays
As they built up one by one
Oh how we beg and we borrow
Say we do it tomorrow

But tomorrow never seems to come
We used to never say never
Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come

Remember when we were young
And we were boys on the beach
Everything was in reach
I know it's hard to remember
And all had the years they vanish
I always wanted to learn Spanish
And travel round South-America

We used to never say never
Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding
Years leave quicker every time they come

Do you remember when we were young?
We used to never say never
Used to think we live forever
Flying free beneath the sun
Days go running and hiding
The weeks are going slippy and sliding yeah
Years leave quicker every time they come

Do you remember when we were young?
Do you remember when we were young?
Do you remember when we were young?
Do you remember when we were young?

寫一首樂觀人生的歌 - Nightbirde's Original Song at America's Got Talent 202

她說: "You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore, before you decide to be happy."



I moved to California in the summer time
I changed my name thinking that it would change my mind
I thought that all my problems they would stay behind
I was a stick of dynamite and it was just a matter of time, yeah
All day, all night, now I can't hide
Said I knew myself but I guess I lied
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
If you're lost with all the little lost and it's alright
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
If you're lost with all the little lost and it's alright
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
I wrote a hundred pages but I burned them all
Yeah, I burned them all
I drove through yellow lights and don't look back at all
I don't look back at all
All day, all night, now I can't hide
Said I knew what I wanted but I guess I lied
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
If you're lost with all the little lost and it's alright
It's ok, it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
If you're lost with all the little lost and it's alright


Oh, it alright to be lost sometimes

波斯密語 Vadim Perelman 導演 (2021上演)




故事講述主角是猶太人,
在1942年納粹軍佔領下的法國時。
和其他猶太人一同被納粹黨衛軍士兵逮捕。
他向警衛誓稱自己不是猶太人,
而是波斯人,因而沒被處死刑。


但集中營的營長要主角教他學波斯語。
主角自創一個創造「波斯語」單詞的方法,
每天教授營長,得以保命。
他總共教了他2000多個單字。
但這些單字,只有他兩個人能明白,
如同兩個人的溝通密碼。
真正的波斯人是不知所云的。


溝通密碼不可以被外人發覺或破解,
無論那些密碼是假象抑或真相。

她和他的戀愛花期 - 土井裕泰導演 (2021)





此電影講述兩個文青男女主角(菅田將暉和有村架純飾演)
相遇相戀同居及至分手的故事。
男女主角在大學畢業前相遇相戀,
然後同居;
及至他們畢業後
面對各種生活壓力及期望改變終要分手收場。


這是因人生進入不同階段所產生愛情改變的典型劇情,
只是場景設置在當下的社會環境及文化,
所以電影很有生活感。


此電影內的愛情的賞味期長達五年,
在當下(日本)的社會環境及文化,
其實又不算短。
