Love Yourself First

. No comments.

“Mary Dinkle’s eyes were the color of muddy puddles. Her birthmark, the color of poo.” Following the aside, a little girl with freckles jumps into our eyes. The small village she lives in is quiet and plain, so are the villagers. Born as an accident, Mary has never gained enough love and care from her parents.

Actually, both of her parents are a little bit morbid. Her father always plays with stuff birds alone, while her wobbly mother is addicted to sherry. Poor Mary feels confused about all the things around her and eagerly hopes there is a friend to share and tell.

Volcano eruption, climate anomaly, earthquakes are here and there. It seems that 2012 is just around the corner. When Poland people dwelt on their departed President, a rumor emerged which said the President actually didn’t board the plane, but secretly went to the Big Boat instead.

Obviously, most people take the rumor as a joke, but it reveals people’s panic. Our mother earth is in trouble. Are human beings mighty enough to reverse the track of our planet of earth? I’m not sure. What I am sure is that it is our industrialization drive modernization drive that leads to the deterioration of the environment. No one wants to be a loser, nor does any country.

What is happiness? What is love? What is success? What do you live for? Who are you? What should you be like? You can provide various answers to these questions. But the simplest way to deal with them is to figure out what you need and what you want.

A Short Poem-Distance

Distance

I saw you in the distance

A noble soul shines

A humble heart hesitates

Tortures the distance

Consoles the distance

Keep it, keep it, the distance

 

 

Jazz from Cuba

. No comments.

Pressure, pressure, pressure. Once the balance of life was broken, anxiety sneaked up.

Ibrahim Ferrer

No coffee, no tea, only a piece of Jazz music will work.

If Hip-hop represents vigorous young people, Jazz is likely to be a wise old man. There is no boundary in the world of music. However, different genres capture different features. As for Jazz, nothing is more notable than its elegance. It is a gentleman sipping a cup of tea. It is a lady flicking her skirt.

Personally, I would like listening to Jazz at an easy night. The swing surely let my imagination take flight.

Here are two recommendations of Jazz album: <Buena Vista Social Club> & <Buena Vista Social Club Presents Ibrahim Ferrer>

Reading, Watching, Reflecting

. No comments.

Irish novelist Joseph O’Connor once made a comment on reading:”Readers want to know what it is like to be

from Dead Poets Society

someone else for a moment, so that they know in some profound sense what it is like to be themselves.”

My interpretation of this comment is that reading helps you have a better understanding of yourself. To certain extent, all the artistic activities take you close to yourself. So does watching movies.

We want to be a dedicated fighter, a smart scientist or a brave adventurer from time to time. What if our country was defeated? What if aliens visit my home? What if the doomsday comes? What an actor gives is an experience held and shaped. He is in a slum, he is in a desert, and he is on another planet; he is in Jonesburg, he is in Iraq, and he is on Mars. That’s the joy of being an actor and we, viewers, share it. When we watch a film, we are both here and there. Our imagination takes us to whenever we want. And an ideal way to fulfill the imagination is to watch a film. Compared with reading, it is less time-consuming and monotonous.

Women Not Inferior to Men

One of the biggest news in these days is the Academy Awards. And one of the biggest news of this Academy Awards is

Kathryn Bigelow

about the war between Cameron and his ex-wife Kathryn. The result had shown that The Hurt Locker overshadowed Avatar greatly. At the same time, Kathryn Bigelow became the first female winning the Award of Directing. A great woman who changes the history of the Oscar will definitely change the history of human society.

I always hold the belief that males and females are born equal. Equal in rights and obligations, but complementary in capacities. Anyway, they’re born different, in physiological structures. However, with tremendous endeavors and willpower, females can be strong as males. Today I happened to read a ballad, Mulan, which is translated from a classical Chinese poetry. I believe most of you know the Disney-made movie entitled Mulan. Actually, the film is based on this ballad. Share with you the last part of the ballad:

Today is a special day-International Women’s Day, so I’d like to recommend a special film for all the women.

Film: A Good Woman

A Good Woman is a drama film adapted from Oscar Wild’s famous play Lady Windermere’s Fan.
I just want to comment on a few insightful sentences in the movie.

A dolphin’s smile is nature’s greatest deception, it creates the illusion they’re always happy.

District 9

Director: Neill Blomkamp
Cast: Sharlto Copley/Jason Cope/David James

“It wasn’t like watching a movie; it was like living an experience” one of my friends said after watching District 9.
4 Oscar Awards nominations, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing, make District 9 one of the hottest movies of the year of 2009, comparable with Avatar. The film was produced by none other than Peter Jackson, thus assuring the box office. The director Neill Blomkamp was raised in South Africa until he was 18, and this film is a direct reflection of a similar camp called “District 6? which was used to segregate blacks until apartheid was finally lifted.
