    Lovely And Distant

    If you're in the market for a beautiful film, you can't do better than "Memoirs of a Geisha," surely the hands-down winner for the year's most gorgeous film.

    The film explores a world most westerners know little about - that of the geisha.

    The plot follows young Chiyo,sold by her poverty-stricken parents to a Kyoto geisha house as a servant. Chiyo is mistreated, but a chance kindness from a man on the street inspires her to become a geisha and make him her patron.

    It is, at base, a simple romantic story, without a scintilla of suspense: the title gives it away. If the story's predictability and 145-minute length aren’t enough to sink it, emotional distance may be: the story never involves, due both to the one-dimensionality of most of the characters and to the fact that not only are the three major actresses Asian, they are required to speak English, which they do with varying success. Two are Chinese ,Zhang and Li Gong, who plays a successful geisha threatened by Zhang; Michelle Yeoh, who takes Chiyo under her wing, is Malaysian. All have problems with the language.

    But the film’s saving grace is Dione Beebe’s stunning cinematography, which convincingly transforms a set in Ventura County into various Japanese locations. Beebe’s use of light and shadow sets the mood better, in some cases, than the screenplay and actors do.

    Zhang, Yeow and Gong are convincing despite the language handicap. Special recognition goes to Zhang who, after six weeks at “geisha boot camp,” manages to dance gracefully wearing sandals with 8-inch heels.

    “Memoirs of a Geisha,” a dramatic miss, is nonetheless worth seeing for the visual feast it provides.

    Behind 'gay' label, 'Brokeback' really a love story in disguise

    You've heard all about it. You've read about all of the awards it has won. You've even seen a review or two about how good it is, but some people still wonder if they want to see a movie with two gay cowboys. It's a subject not everyone is comfortable with, but Brokeback Mountain, if you are willing to give it a chance, is an emotional, heartbreaking movie.

    Heath Ledger stars as Ennis Del Mar - a young cowboy raised by his siblings when Mom and Dad tragically died. In the summer of 1963, he finds work guarding sheep in Wyoming. A rodeo cowboy, Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal), is his co-worker, and the two form a strong friendship while up on Brokeback Mountain all alone (except for the sheep).

    One night,

    they get a little drunk,

    get a little lonely,

    exchange some meaningful glances over the fire,

    and need to share the same tent to fight off the cold.

    With their guard let down, Ennis and Jack share a night of passion, which leads to a secret, loving, heart wrenching 20-year relationship that threatens their marriages, livelihoods and place in society.

    Will Jack and Ennis finally admit their love and share a life together? Who will discover their secret? What will they lose?

    Say what you will about the premise, but no one can dismiss the amazing performance put in by Ledger. He is outright awesome as we see him portray Ennis's deeply painful struggle to deny his feelings for Jack due to the way he was brought up, incidents in his past, the marriage he has to Alma (Michelle Williams) and his fear about being an outcast from society. Ledger shows us how the laconic, conflicted cowboy comes to life around his new love, and the battle to fight off great, but forbidden, passion. He is like a young Clint Eastwood looking meaningfully across the lake at the huge mountains rising in the distance, bursting out in anger to hide his fear and, ultimately, regretting some of the biggest decisions of his life in the poignant closing scenes. Gyllenhaal is very good as the wide-eyed optimist who wants to run away into the sunset with his true love, and I was blown away by Williams as the wife who feels heartbreak as she starts to pick up on Jack and Ennis's "fishing trips" and the resulting confusion and sadness as she tries to cope with the awkward situation, but Brokeback Mountain is Ledger's career-making movie guided by director Ang Lee's magnificent hand.

    Lee adds a loving, tender touch to the movie avoiding exploitation and salaciousness to bring us an epic, complex and painful love affair that stirs your emotions, whether you want to let it or not. He mixes beautiful shots of the open country and dusty Texas flatlands with deeply intimate one-on-one scenes between the various actors in Brokeback Mountain.

    It's an amazing job,Lee doesn't do enough to give us a feel for how many years have passed between all of the scenes. We have to follow the age of Ennis's children and Jack's changing facial hair and sideburns to determine what year it might be, but I am horrible at guessing the age of children, and I'm far from an expert in the history of hair styles (Do I look like Vidal Sassoon?), so a little help would have been welcome. Also, I think Lee let the movie go a bit too long after giving us Brokeback Mountain's natural climactic scene that resolves the relationship between Jack and Ennis in the most memorable way possible. Instead, he brings back Ennis's daughter who has been fairly ignored throughout the movie, so I don't know why Lee felt the need to wrap up anything between her and Ennis.

    Finally, I know some may be concerned about possible graphic scenes, but the concerns are unfounded. While we do see kissing and simulated sex acts, the only nudity in Brokeback Mountain is from Ann Hathaway  and Michelle Williams. Just remember, the movie is rated R, so you should expect some adult themes and situations.

    Brokeback Mountain could be a front running Oscar contender come January and February, and it's on my list of the best movies of the year.

     

    “He was a friend of mine
    He was a friend of mine
    Every time I think about him now
    Lord I just can't keep from crying'
    'Cause he was a friend of mine”

    Happy colors and Spring Festival

    Well, well, finally Spring Festival comes, people in the new century and modern industries are seemed far from the tradition and custom which rooted deeply in the previous FARMING society----except in some remote countryside and hamlets, no one make Niangao or other traditional food by themselves, married daughters are reluctant to pay a formal visit to the parents, nephews forget to knock at the uncle’s door on the early morning of the first day of New Year. Besides many rituals are fading from people’s memory. But the happy colors of Spring Festival still exists and stands to be the most obvious traits of the special occasion.
     
    Happy colors are mostly range from red, yellow, golden yellow, orange, pink, etc. Traditionally, people regard themselves as the descendents of the dragon, which is described to be covered with yellow color. So, the happy colors including yellow color are auspicious symbols. People usually make new clothes for New Year, the color of red, purple are most favorable. Wearing clothes in happy colors are the biggest pride in old China. Besides, the traditional couplets on the both sides of the door are written on the dark-red paper, which could greatly add the auspicious and festive atmosphere. So are the paintings for the New Year, which are mostly based on the topic of happiness and the wishes of long life, health. In my city, people even like to add a big red brush-drop on the snow-white Niao Gao or other traditional food. Moreover, people use red paper to wrap food.
     
    Happy colors, I presume, are inclusive of other activities in the Spring Festival. Audio and visual effects are closely connected. The examples mentioned above are visual effects, while the setting-off of firecrackers and fireworks, the performance of traditional opera are from the position of audio effect. Without fireworks and firecrackers, the festive atmosphere of new year would be reduced, so it the enthusiasm of our citizens. The setting-off and the loud sound make the new year more merry and exultant. Also, the performance of traditional opera, through audio-visional effect by means of singing or recitation accompanied by traditional musical instruments, conveys the happiness of life.
     
    Happy colors present people’s wishes for the new season. Best wishes for the new spring,the new season!

    “我 是 胡 锦 涛!”

    1月28号是农历除夕。上午,胡 锦 涛来到地处山区的陕西省安塞县沿河湾镇侯沟门村,看望农民群众。村边一座座山头积雪皑皑,村里一孔孔窑洞装饰一新,家家户户都挂起了红灯笼,贴上了吉祥的春联和鲜艳的窗花。村口,穿着节日盛装的村民吹起唢呐,打起安塞腰鼓,扭起了欢快的陕北秧歌,载歌载舞,喜迎新年。 (1月29日 央视国际)
     
    当看到胡锦涛总书记紧紧握着老红军的手,大声介绍自己“我是胡 锦 涛!”时,我被电视新闻里的现场气氛深深感染。“我是胡 锦 涛”,总书记生怕老红军奶奶耳朵不好,听不见他的声音。“我是胡 锦 涛”,共产党的总书记代表党中央看望大家来了,守天下的共产党没有忘记打江山的老革命。“我是胡 锦 涛”,过年了,老区的群众吃穿用样样齐全,党中央这就放心了!

    进入新的历史时期,面临各种考验的共产党人深知水能载舟,亦能覆舟的古训,关注民生、建设和谐的主题就是要通过努力和奋斗,使广大人民群众生活更加富裕,更加美好,更加幸福。当听到群众说生活好,总书记不时露出欣慰的笑容。是啊,只有广大人民群众都过上幸福安康的生活,天下百姓安心顺心,党中央才能放心。先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐,这句闪耀着朴素的大公无私思想光辉的名言是古人所说,却是当今共产党人在不断实践着。然则何时而乐?此时此刻,举国欢庆,心同此心,情同此情,心系百姓,与民同乐。

    古有百姓闻王车马之音,见羽旄之美,举欣欣然有喜色而相告曰:“吾王何以能田猎也?”此无他,与民同乐也。其实,帝王将相的与民同乐还是自己找乐,只有一代又一代的共产党人才能做到真正的与民同乐,无论是领袖人物还是普通党员干部,他们的一个共同点就是有一颗赤诚的爱国爱民之心。只有从内心里、从灵魂深处饱含着对祖国、对人民的爱,才能先忧国忧民。近年来,胡锦涛总书记、温 家宝总理等党和国家领导人春节期间的足迹足以证明了这一点。远的不说,去年这个时候,胡锦涛总书记来到贵州黔西南布依族苗族自治州,看望劳动模范和各族群众,慰问困难农民家庭,与大家共迎新春佳节。

    中央提出建设社会主义新农村,目的就是要让广大农民更快地富裕起来,也就像乡亲们过年吃年糕所想表达的意思那样,要让乡亲们的生活水平一年更比一年高。愿天下百姓的生活都象延安老区的人民一样,年年登高。总书记的祝愿也是党在新的历史时期情为民所系,权为民所用,利为民所谋宗旨的一个生动体现,总书记同人民群众心贴心,新农村和小康社会的愿景一定会实现,一定能够实现。

    我想那个时候,我就再也不会因为老家是农村的,而因为每年探亲回家而苦恼了。

    天佑人民,天佑共产党。

    Great victory

    Manchester United moved four points clear of Liverpool in second place after Rio Ferdinand's last-gasp goal.Ferdinand emerged from a crowded penalty area to power a header past Jose Reina from a Ryan Giggs free-kick. Liverpool will kick themselves given their dominance of the game with Djibril Cisse missing an open goal just past the hour when he lashed over. In the opening half Peter Crouch's powerful shot was well blocked by Wes Brown, who threw himself at the ball. United's injury problems and Cristiano Ronaldo's suspension saw Giggs deployed in central midfield alongside John O'Shea. That partnership never quite gelled and with Liverpool controlling the midfield, Sir Alex Ferguson withdrew O'Shea at the interval and replaced him with striker Louis Saha. Saha's introduction saw Darren Fletcher move into the middle alongside Giggs. Even that switch failed to alter the midfield balance and Liverpool continued to create the clearer chances. Giggs created United's best chance of the first half, his pass releasing Ruud van Nistelrooy, though the Dutchman's shot was comfortably saved by Reina. But it was symptomatic of Liverpool's grip of midfield that that chance arrived in first-half stoppage time and United did not win a corner until the 87th minute. As so often this season, Steven Gerrard was at the centre of Liverpool's best attacking work. After Harry Kewell had bravely won an aerial challenge, Gerrard surged towards the United goal only to screw his shot wide. Gerrard then played the pass of the match, bending the ball with the outside of his right foot to release Cisse, who was unable to trouble Edwin van der Sar with a weak shot. Cisse did better when he headed Mohamed Sissoko's chipped pass into the feet of Crouch, who a powerful half-volley which was well blocked by Wes Brown. On 62 minutes Cisse should have given Liverpool the lead when he blasted over with the goal at his mercy. The ball had broken to the Frenchman following a Kewell shot after a mix-up between Ferdinand and Van der Sar required the England international to hook the ball away. United finished the game strongly and Wayne Rooney went close with a shot that zipped past the post. The game looked to heading for a draw, but Ferdinand had the final say as he craned his neck to steer his header past Reina's despairing dive.

    Great victory.(Manchester United1:0 Liverpool )

    King Kong

          Today ,I go to movie with my friend who named VC.(I hope she will be my girlfriend)
    Sit to the dark theater seat on the time, I have prepared the enough intense palpitation "King Kong" .However after nearly two hours, was waiting for I am beside the anticipation tear unexpectedly. " The beautiful woman has killed the wild animal", although directed Peter Jackson fell the Empire State Building after King Kong, still used 1933 old editions the famous lines to end the entire movie,it 's enought.
          What  is King Kong? A animal who  survival in  mystical island jungle giant orangutan, height 25 feet, fierceness, has the ruinous destructive power.
          When Anna and King Kong sit together in the skeleton island  watche the sunset, is the what kind of poetic sentiment and happy, is simply "Beauty" lets the human be elated; But when King Kong  for the beautiful woman, for love when standing lonely fights bravely in the Empire State Building and the human fighter aircraft, also is the what kind of frigidity, lets the human be sad, also is instead satirizes to human civilization.Why humanity's eye always blind of  color? Why is the cruelest animal is human? Anna goes against in the Empire State Building tower to breaks through the airplane which wields both hands time, as if has produced the answer.
          King Kong fall from the Empire State Building tower , is classics which the movie . Directed this time explained why it could climb up the high of city : When setting  sunshine reflection abdicates in Harder on current of water, a piece of  golden color. Only then the sunlight is common, the magnificent sunset which lets King Kong remember Anna and it sit together in the skeleton island  watche the sunset "Beautiful", Anna puts out this word slowly to King Kong.Then King Kong take all of these happy recollection fall down.

    Another lose

          I love MAN UTD, liked already not permitting one tie.  MAN UTD each match  all must win, only has the victory, then can let my anticipation stay in my mind.  Also only one full victory, then may  subside in my heart the hope.
          Another lose, lets the person have no alternative but to indulge in  flights of fancy.  The red  spirit age has gone?  Perhaps  landscape real had to exchange ownerships, perhaps the foolish support also changed brutally is not realistic, perhaps, was the time forgot.
          Formerly that the MAN UTD which made the one panic at the  news has gone.  In that soccer age, one red tornado sweeps  away Europe, startled colorful red, devil red, also is God's red.  You like one stubborn traveler, with motion annotation soccer beauty.   That time, falls behind is not the pain, but is to the hope pleasant  sensation which reverses wins.  That time, you omnipotent.
    MAN UTD is God.
          But now, Any team all could dominate with  above the before God.
          I repugnantly wait for, even if is fills the hope the waiting, it  still could obliterate the true love, obliterated the firm heart. I beg, only needs you one victory, then may dispel all these, then  may give I one excuse, one continues to love you excuse.
          Another sadness.  I am determined forgets.  Likes the others, forgot.   I am unable to like Chelese, perhaps Milan is the good choice.  I attempt pay a attention in Barcelona,  actually found that   Eto and Ronadinio I am not interested.  I know, in my heart, has that a place of  red.
          I only know that, MAN UTD, you already in my heart.
          The God blesses MAN UTD.(Yesterday MAN UTD1:3 MAN CITY)

    when a child is born

          A ray of hope flickers in the sky
      A tiny star lights up way up high
      All across the land dawns a brand new morn
      This comes to pass when a child is born
      A silent wish sails the seven seas
      The winds of change whisper in the trees
      And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
      This comes to pass, when a child is born
      ……
      (接下来是我最喜欢的一段独白)
    And all of this happens, because the world is waiting, Waiting for one child; Black-white-yellow, no one knows, but a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter, hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbor, and misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever ……

    无极,无所不尽其极

          作为中国第五代导演的旗手,张艺谋与陈凯歌担负着把中国电影推向海外的重任,艺术成就上许多人认为两人难分仲伯,不过在商业运作上陈凯歌明显远逊于张艺谋。从《英雄》到《十面埋伏》,张氏票房神话支撑起日渐式微的国产电影市场,而随着《荆轲刺秦王》的票房惨淡,《温柔地杀死我》的草草收场,陈凯歌终于忍不住背水一战,拍出了号称中国电影史上最昂贵投资的商业文艺大片(很奇怪的叫法,不过确实是陈红发明的)《无极》,旨在收回失去的半壁江山,而期间夫妻两人记者采访会上毫无风度的勃然大怒,陈红近乎不知廉耻的自负“不要问我们会不会去奥斯卡,应该问我们去了会拿几座奖”,其实只让我们感觉到这一役陈凯歌输不起。当张艺谋气定神闲的完成多年来的夙愿—与心仪偶像高仓健合作拍摄《千里走单骑》时,陈凯歌却急于借助金钱堆砌的《无极》超越张艺谋,单是在风度与气量上,陈凯歌已经先输一仗,至于能否突破《英雄》国内2.5亿的票房,现在看来无疑是痴人说梦。

        对《无极》的期待来自于《十分钟年华老去》里陈凯歌那部关于北京就城区拆迁的短篇,寥寥数笔简约干练,却显露出深刻的主题与非凡的功架,拍摄小成本独立制作可以出彩,驾驭大情节反而失衡颇令人失望。《无极》是一部包装华丽的娱乐大片,仅从中日韩三地巨星合作、张柏芝与谢霆锋饰演恋人这些极富商业炒作的宣传手法就可以看出《无极》是遵循着商业市场的规律在运作,其实这点无可厚非,如此昂贵的投资必然要先保障投资者的利益,剔除这些商业元素外考的就是导演的功架了。在叙事结构上,陈凯歌一直比张艺谋完整和严谨,我承认《无极》比起《英雄》和《十面埋伏》都复杂的多,能把这个故事清晰的讲到尾并非易事,况且这部电影脱离了《英雄》的史实背景与《十面埋伏》故意虚化背景的乱世儿女情,它探讨关于生命、爱情、荣誉、尊严、宿命等深刻哲理,陈凯歌的野心的确令人钦佩。

        在部分情节描写与场景设计上,总会令人似曾相识:童年倾城踏水无痕明显是《最终幻想》的影子;光明大将军挥舞流星锤宛若玩PS2游戏《三国无双》中的“无双技”,谢霆锋两把折扇的造型也让人联想起游戏里的大、小乔;昆仑背着光明追逐日落像煞《超人特工队》的小弟;同样他背着倾城飞奔也让人想起《花旗少林》里周润发与吴倩莲的雪地飞奔,在我看来《无极》Crossover的东西太多太多,偏偏陈凯歌又没有在融合后加上自己鲜明的风格,这导致了在观看电影时经常走神,难以进入他竭力打造的魔幻世界。

        而在人物的塑造上,除了张东健,几乎没有一个角色是成功的:真田广之演不出惊恐大将军不可一世的傲气,张柏芝像是陷入感情漩涡的慌张女子,拍不出她舍弃真爱换取的荣华富贵多么耀眼又多么孤独;谢霆锋则像是在公车上打手枪的电车痴汉,总是用着高潮将至时颤抖的语调发出阴阳怪气的呻吟;满神从头到尾就是造作的扭捏,造型恐怖又缺乏掌握命运之神的灵气与气质,说是幽魂野鬼更为贴切;除了谢霆锋,刘烨身上再次体现了陈凯歌的太监情节,一个为了生存甘愿舍弃尊严与爱的卑微雪国人可以发挥的地方很多,只可惜一身黑袍遮挡了他所有的风采,从后搂住张东健的一幕更像是《蓝宇》中难以割舍的复杂同志情意结,失去了应有的悲壮味道,变得异常怪异;张东健发挥的最好,可惜也只限于与片中其他人物相比,爱得不够深,恨得也不够深,苍白无力,令人惋惜。

        在色调与镜头的运用上,陈凯歌更是输得一塌糊涂,本来擅长写实的陈凯歌就不擅用过于鲜艳浓烈的色调,也不适合拍美轮美奂的风景画,看看《十面埋伏》中章子怡牡丹坊击鼓起舞那一段,在看看《无极》所谓的旖旎风光,高低立判,光明与倾城一身粉红色绣满海棠花的长袍算是最耐看的了。鲍德熹操刀摄影令人失望,除了树林里红衣满神出场,被芭蕉叶遮住脸部只留下垂延欲滴的红唇,以及张柏芝御风飞行时比较出彩外,再没有令人印象深刻的地方了。

        《无极》的特技令人失望,万牛奔腾的场面过于虚假,武打设计更是失败中的失败,即缺乏硬桥硬马式的厚重(《英雄》里甄子丹李连杰的对决),也没有惊鸿一瞥的飘渺,人物众多但更像是毫无章法的“乱斗”,在失去了这些华里外衣包装之下,《无极》情节上的失衡就更显苍白无力,其实一直到张东健被谢霆锋捉住之前,影片滂湃的气势与奇幻色彩都营造的相当成功,可惜中段开始逐渐失控,拍不出四角恋爱的复杂细腻与恩怨情仇,最令人呕心的是陈凯歌加入了许多“禅机”,满神“海棠花落尽的日落,月亮与太阳出现在同一个天空里”的预言,刘烨“真正的速度是看不见的”的哲理不伦不类,在影片中起了反效果,让人忍俊不禁以为是在看刘镇伟“恶搞”的《情癫大圣》。类似的硬伤还出现在人物的对白中,陈凯歌推崇的话剧式对白的风格在《霸王别姬》里显得错落有致精彩纷呈,但只局限于一部本就是关于戏子的电影,放在《无极》中说不尽的别扭与反胃,每一个人似乎都在努力字正腔圆的朗诵着对白,谢霆锋戏子般的夸张举止更是彻底破坏了紧张感与感染力,时光倒流、打破宿命,在表现这些神话题材上陈凯歌完全掌握不了节奏与神髓,甚至刘镇伟的“波若波罗蜜”都来得有说服力,整体风格的不协调导致了《无极》的失败。

        情节、特技、美指……《无极》的每一个细节都相当认真,甚至“无所不尽其极”,可惜糅合在一起只有反效果,这场盛宴甚至连“豪华”都谈不上,只能用苦涩来形容,我敬佩陈凯歌的野心,但是否太过功利太过急躁了呢?

        呵呵,不管怎么样,一部大片还是看过了。

    不老的神话

      人家的圣诞节,不想剽来同喜
      流连在各个粘贴满海报的影院  
      新片无极,旧梦神话
     
     
     
          很古老的时候,就流传着这样的说法,频频在梦中出现的身影,即是有缘的梦中人。即使到了现代,这样的说法还是很得人心,因为常常梦到的人,可能就在自己的身边,那种梦所带来的,是很微妙而甜蜜的感觉。

        《神话》同样以梦开始,梦境和现实交相辉映。梦里的那位神勇将军,梦里的那位清丽女子,以及梦里的刀光剑影、万丈柔情……

        于我来说,《神话》是让我失望的,它未能带给我太多的震撼和感动,很多情节是多元的综合体,缺少新意,甚至分量较重的在印度杰克和玛里卡与警察一逃一追的戏,也只是在彰示着成龙一贯的滑稽打斗风格。那么,到底是什么在吸引着我们呢?

        是承诺,是等待。

        是的,是因为那横贯前年、无怨无悔的爱情等待。

        也许蒙毅和玉树的相遇,本身就是上天设定的缘,而他们所遭遇的重重波折,从山崖上跌下、差点在水中淹死、在冰天雪地中冻僵,以至于最后的离别与承诺,也只是他们爱情的经历与考验,而只因为经受了这些,才有了千年不变的等待。

        怎能忘记那个只为着一句尽职而任由粗糙的绳索狠狠勒住身体的人,怎能忘记那个为了替自己挡风雪而差点僵硬在雪中的人,又怎能忘记那个为了自己的生命而信守承诺以身犯险的人?那是玉树对蒙毅的难忘,所以她也要信守承诺活下来。而对于玉树,蒙毅忘不了那个眼神明亮却带着深深忧伤的面容,望不了那个为了他而笑靥如花、在北风中翩翩起舞的身影,更忘不了那个女子离别时烙着深深等待的坚毅。所以在无奈中死去后,他的后世既带着前世的影子,更是留着前世对玉树的记忆,永远消磨不去……

        只是,一个是千年不死的女子,一个已是只有回忆的后世。杰克循着梦境找到了玉树,只是完成了前世的蒙毅对她的承诺;而对于玉树,她对蒙毅的等待只能成为一个永远的神话。

        什么都不清楚的那段时光是最快乐的,因为他就是等待千年的蒙毅,她就是梦中的有缘人,一起遨游在天堂般的地下陵墓,那么快乐,那么自由,千年的等待终于有了结果,多年的梦境终于得以真实展现。

        仿佛是一场美丽得近乎虚幻的梦,希望永远不会醒来……

        前世的蒙毅,今生的Jack,在梦境的牵引下,找寻秦朝时的那段爱情神话。用爱情做线索,由空中宫殿的神话引发出一段隔世的情缘,爱的神话,恒古不变。

        影片中,秦朝造就了一个奇迹,一座神话般的空中宫殿。在陨石的作用下,万物都不再受引力的限制,漂浮在空中。人可以飞,无数天兵天降成为活化石,守卫在秦王的宫殿前。包括玉树,美丽的朝鲜公主,守节殉葬,却因吃了长生不老仙丹而一直活在古墓中。

        玉树是朝鲜送入秦宫的王妃,秦朝大将军蒙毅奉命迎架,却因路遇神秘人物劫车而展开搏斗。蒙毅舍命相救,保护玉漱,经过一番混战,双双坠入山谷。

        玉树被蒙毅的舍命相救所感动,渐渐爱上蒙毅,帮蒙毅疗伤,为蒙毅取暖,与此同时,蒙毅也被这个异国公主的温柔而打动,却因身份不同,尽管两情相悦,却不得不以主卑相称。两个人同甘共苦,相知相许,却最终连“爱你”这句话都不能讲。直到蒙毅奉命取仙丹,战死在杀场,再没有回来过。而玉树为秦王试药,吃下仙丹,从此长生不老,活在古墓中。

        玉树无时无刻不在思念,思念那个可以用生命保护她的男人蒙毅。她相信蒙毅没有死,只为蒙毅说过,会回来保护她,只为这句承诺,玉树在阴暗冰冷的古墓中,等了上千年。习惯了孤单,微笑面对,用爱情的信念做支撑,她造就了一个永恒的神话。

        Jack,一个当代的知名考古学家,在梦里总是看到一张熟悉的面孔,动人的微笑,温柔的气质,可是每次这样的被梦境都被艰险所惊醒,于是故事中断,只剩悬念。Jack相信梦中的情景一定在现实的某个地方出现过,相信冥冥之中一定有某种不可知的力量在牵引着他,渐渐的靠近那张熟悉的面孔。于是他决定寻找,绝不放弃。

        终于,历尽艰险,Jack找到了那座古墓,找到了那个悬在空中的神话宫殿,也找回了他与玉树之间的爱情神话。

        他终于再将玉树拥入了怀中,两颗心在感动中不断颤抖,历经千年的等待,终于结束了无尽的思念,美丽的爱情神话,并非传说。

        美丽的爱情神话,让人心动的传说,玉树和蒙毅因为相知相许,而用生命等待与寻找,哪怕等来的只是片刻的温存,也心甘情愿,在所不辞。也许,这样的力量不仅是来自爱情的伟大,而是因为,他们彼此没有得到。

        得不到的才是最好的,在感情最朦胧的时候,将整颗心交给了对方,满心的喜悦,无尽的感动,这时候的两个人,哪怕只是一个眼神的交会,都可以谱出一段五彩的篇章。朦胧的爱情,是最美的,它饱含了无数的憧憬与期待,在这样的期望中,相互惦念,在这样的牵挂里,无限满足。也正是因为没有得到,所以才会一直期待。

        如果在此时,将爱情阻隔,虽然彼此心已相许,人却无法靠近,在空间与时间上,将爱情停滞,于是,便成永恒。从此各自惦记对方,守着曾经的朦胧,微笑面对如今的孤独,感动着曾经的温暖,继续期待将来的相逢。

        可是,一旦拥有,才发现,平淡如水的现实,并不如梦想中期待的那般美好。相互接触时产生的摩擦渐渐成为一道道隔阂,把爱情消磨殆尽。憧憬是美丽的,相处是可怕的。

        蒙毅和玉树之所以可以跨越千年谱写爱情神话,是因为他们彼此没有得到过。有爱无实的感情,才可能成为神话。

        呵呵,的确是神话,让彼此相爱的人都流连在得到与得不到之间,可能也只有这样才能永恒,得到的东西我想应该是成为不了永恒的。

        “解开我最神秘的等待,星星坠落风在吹动,终于再将你拥入怀中,两颗心颤抖。

        相信我不变的真心,千年等待有我承诺,无论经过多少的寒冬,我决不放手。

        现在紧抓住我的手闭上眼睛,请你回想起过去我们恋爱的日子,

        我们是因为太爱,所以更使得我们痛苦,我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲。

        每一夜被心痛穿越,思念永没有终点,早习惯了孤独相随,我微笑面对。

        相信我我选择等待,再多苦痛也不闪躲,只有你的温柔能解救,无边的冷漠。

        让爱成为你我心中,那永远盛开的花,穿越时空绝不低头,永不放弃的梦。

        让爱成为你我心中,那永远盛开的花,我们千万不要忘记我们的约定。

        唯有真爱追随你我,穿越无尽时空,我们连"爱你"这句话都无法讲。

        爱是心中唯一不变美丽的神话。”

    “不过不要钱”
    ----------------“不甜不要钱”真是不知道是卖瓜还是卖答案,还是把我们当瓜卖
    我还是好好看我的CET-6哈,4级那小玩意过了就由她过去把,嘿嘿```窃喜小会,至少不用上午起那么早去考试了,还是考6级消遣,下午考``hoho``就冲这点就应该早点过掉4级然后睡到下午去考6```

    信仰是什么?

     
    今天有人问我这样的一个问题,
    来个浅显的例子
    中国的军队每个作战单位都有配备着政委,美国的军队每个作战单位都配备着随军牧师。
    中国的军人随时做好为祖国为人民,为党牺牲。
    美国的军人随时做好为国家为人民牺牲,做好被为神的使命所召唤。
    共产党没有信仰,98年洪水,首长发话:共产党员给我跳下去堵缺口。为了没有的信仰,每个共产党员都跳下去了。
    基督教是信仰,今年美国南部飓风,所有的基督徒都为了逃避召唤,让政府涣散,剩下的则是在祈祷神保佑。
    信仰是什么,回到原点。
    就是在人受到各种挑战和危难的时候除了哭天抢地,叫爹喊娘之外那个一直喃喃的称谓。
    亦或是神,亦或是佛,又或者是上帝。
    信仰是信仰,亦或灵,亦或不灵。
    要是次次都灵,就不是信仰了。
    要是次次都不灵,也不是信仰了。
     
     

    不喜欢熬夜

    本来最不喜欢熬夜的
    不过要做的功课实在是太多了
    没有办法
    晚上熬灯油啊
    不过有点还是比较欣慰
    天气越冷,越冻越精神
    做完最后4篇,一定睡

    汉城已经成为回忆

           韩国首都“Seoul”的中文名称1月19日正式从“汉城”改为“首尔”,叫了这么多年的“汉城”,就要从中国的文件中消失了。
      表面看来,汉城改名是为了与国际接轨。汉城市李明博市长说:中国人将Washington称为华盛顿、将London称为伦敦、将Moscow称为莫斯科,都是用与这些词的发音接近的汉语来标记的,只有Seoul仍按照古代名称将之称为汉城,这引起了很大的混乱。
      这个理由有些牵强。中国中学的地理课本就明确告诉大家:韩国的首都是汉城,但凡有点文化的人都知道这一点。最大的麻烦是在学英文的时候,人们往往难以把Seoul与汉城对应起来,但这也不过是中国人自己的麻烦而已。
      汉城改名为首尔,其根在民族主义。其实,类似的“去汉语化”举动在韩国已经进行了多年。在韩国,关于是否保留汉字、保留多少汉字的争端就从来没有断过,最近的一次是2004年12月21日,韩国决定将现行759项法律文本中混用的汉字标记方式全部以韩文取代。“去汉语化”的程度,与韩国实力的提高、与韩国领导人的风格、与韩国不同派别的角力,甚至与中韩关系,都息息相关。
      令人担忧的是,汉城的更名,还可能从一个侧面凸显了中国“软实力”的不足。自古以来受中华文化深刻影响的邻国更改了地名,说明中华文化的吸引力在西方文化面前进一步弱化。
      我国经济快速发展,实力稳步上升,但在文化方面的软实力提升却远不能与经济实力匹配。东南亚的青少年可以为F4疯狂,可以崇拜香港的电影明星,韩国的电视台也几乎每天都播放港台电视剧,但大陆文化产品在国外的影响力却相对不足。在亚洲,港台文化影响大;在全球范围内,许多人把日本文化当成了东方文化的代表。当年的中国是“上国天朝”,实际上是灿烂的文化和文明具有强大的吸引力。到现在,我们只有先发扬光大自己的传统文化,并图创新,才能真正具备吸引力。
      韩国和中国同属东亚文化圈,历史上受中华文化影响很大。然而在当今欧美文明盛行于世、占据主流的情况下,韩国摆脱或减少中国文化的影响、走文化独立的道路,也无可厚非。问题是我们该如何应对。中国的外交工作向来奉行互相尊重、互不干涉内政的政策。一个国家给自己的城市改名,属于“内政”,自然不可干涉;但这个“内政”又要影响到中国的方方面面,涉外机构的文件、旅行社、教育部门等,都要做一系列变动,因而又似乎不是纯粹的“内政”。
      对汉城的改名,中国首先应该予以理解:韩国以前曾是中国的属国,但现在两国是平等的伙伴。在理解的基础上,中国也应该支持。中国在执行“以邻为伴、与邻为善”的政策,没必要在一个城市的命名上闹出不愉快的事情。
      另外,名字只是一个符号,过分在意,反而是不自信的表现。正如我们没必要让人家把“Chinese”改为“Chinan(英语里面国名加“n”是褒义的称呼该国人,加ese含贬义)”,但可以通过自己的努力让“Chinese”这个词变成褒义,变成令人敬重的一个词。在这方面,黑人应该受到尊重,最初他们被称为“Negro”,“Black”是贬义词,但他们在争取民权的过程中,理直气壮地告诉世人“我就是Black”,久而久之,“Black”成了褒义词,“Negro”反而成了贬义词。
      从这个意义上说,汉城改名并不重要,重要的是韩国实力的提升;中国人管“Seoul”叫什么也不重要,重要的是“Seoul”在我们心目中是什么形象。
         不管怎么样,汉城已经成为了回忆,成为了中国一相情愿还依稀停留在韩国是中国附属邻邦的一个美好的回忆中。
