HANNA


  I  would say this is quite a disappointment. Not only the the cadence is bad that you can't feel the tension, the story telling is also quite messy. It's a bit of this and that, I can't really see the focus. The two thing impressed me are the music by Chemical Brothers (of course it's good.) and the camera move. There are some very interesting long & hand carry shot work so smoothly make the movie visually entertaining. So what did it become? Nice music and interesting camera move...you got it! It's a 111mins music video! I can so tell you that all I remember form the film when I walked out the cinema are (1) the music (2) the camera moves (3) the Prada heels Cate Blanchett was wearing.

  我不得不說,這部電影讓我失望了。故事的表達太混亂了,每件事點一下題然後又沒了下文;找不到重點。只有兩樣東西讓我印象深刻就是Chemical Brothers做的音樂(那是當然了),其次是攝影,有一些長鏡,手提鏡位非常有趣。結果在好音樂和鏡頭作用之下,這就像是個111分鐘的MV。離開戲院的那刻,我只記得 (1)音樂 (2)鏡頭  (3)Cate Blanchett那雙Prada。

Confessions


  I've left this behind for a year, and finally, I watched "Confessions". With all those very good comments on Takako Matsu, the performance actually didn't surprise me at all. I guess it's because the role is so different from many of her previous work and she at least portray the character fair enough. The young actors and actress, especially Yukito Nishii. I somehow thought he's the main cast. Nakashima is getting even better, the deadly cool tone and the music video like CG visual scene were  combined beautifully, and didn't feel like over-doing.


  我拖了一年,終於看了《告白》。松隆子表現完全沒驚喜(拖了那麼久就是怕這個,結果真的中了。唉) 很多人說她演得好,只是因為那跟她演了那麼多年很不一樣的角色然後她只少能表現那感覺罷了。反而小孩們非常搶戲,西井幸人不得了,差點以為你是主角。中島哲也越來越厲害了,畫面流露的冷漠,和那些很MV的CG畫面融合得異常舒服不做作。
