2012


想了很久,终于决定用华语来写这篇文章了。。。。。。

用华语写这篇文章不是很符合我的原则,因为一向以来我都是以英文写英文的影评的(其实也只写过一次罢了,呵呵^^)

对了,这次要写的就是2012的影评。。。。。。

相信2012的故事在这里也不必多说,随着2012铺天盖地的宣传,大家都大概对这套西有一个大概的概念吧,就是因为某一些原因,让地球末日,结果男主角带着一家大小游遍全世界各地的各个灾难胜地。

(严重警告,强烈建议在观看了2012才阅读一下的评论,否则后果自负)

先说故事吧,一开始是说科学家发现地球将会在2012年,因为太阳发射一些突变的元素,让地壳内的性质异变,就如玛雅人所预测一样,世界末日。(大致上是这样,是靠我有限的科学知识和英文理解的)故事之所以会发生是因为科学家在2009发现,所以就开始防范。但是,由于时间有限,美国怕引起恐慌,所以没有对外公布,只有在背后秘密准备。美国在中国西藏筹备了一个方舟计划,由于计划经费昂贵,所以秘密出售船票,一个位置10亿欧元。但是灾难比预期中早发生,所以惹来很多恐慌。男主角 Jackson Curtis是一个失败的作者兼父亲兼老公,家在加州。在机缘巧合之下发现了这个秘密(比老百姓早5分钟左右吧),经过重重困难,带着一家人,从加州冲出,路经los vegas,最后抵达西藏,努力冲进方舟。

在这里解释一下吧,方舟一共有8艘,由于灾难提早发生,所以只有方舟3号,4号,7号和8号,勉强竣工。但是由于被落石所击,所以最后只有4号,7号和8号勉强脱身。
总的来说,这套戏算是一套娱乐性非常丰富的一套戏。老实说,我比较喜欢娱乐性丰富的电影,太过写实或者复杂的电影不是说不喜欢,但是现实社会已经如此写实复杂,去戏院就是要看一点和平时不一样的戏,比较容易接受和明白就好。这套戏应该可以比得上G.I.JOE,各有千秋吧。(千万不要拿来和transformer比,这套戏无论故事深度和诚意,科技的铺排和手段,都比transformer要来的好太多了)

说说导演吧,由于这个导演之前拍惯灾难片,所以可谓驾轻就熟,手法纯熟,收放自如。美中不足的是,这个导演的每一套戏都是快乐结局,但是也可以说是导演对世人的一种鼓励。应该是导演要世人在将来的世界末日里面,不理环境多坏都坚持下去,最后还是会有好的将来的。。。(比起那些讽刺来讽刺去,没有建设性讯息,或者是最后死完的结局,可能会比较好,但是本人还是比较喜欢悲惨一点的结局) 特别喜欢导演在戏的一开始,一个印度小孩在下雨时蹲在积水旁放了一个玩具船,这时科学家坐着的士经过,虽然科学家已经喝止,但是的士还是走过积水,把那个玩具船弄翻了。这正是暗示了将发生的灾难,科学家发现,却难以制止。科学家的爸爸之后也是在船上受到海啸攻击死的,这种有意无意之间的巧合,真是不错。总的来说,从一开始的故事发展,到安排各个角色出场,到各个灾难发生,场景和故事的铺排和到后来的连结,不过不失,还算及格。(近年来及格的电影买少见少,尤其是大制作)

说说从加州逃出来的过程吧。过程非常夸张,可以用不可能来形容。但是看得我大呼过瘾,笑不决口。应该只有G.I.JOE里2个穿上特别盔甲和那个红发女子驾着电单车在闹市中追逐奸人的那一幕可以比拟。看到这一段,真的让我感叹。人世间往往很多事情,就是因为我们思前盼后,顾虑太多事情,机关算尽,往往遇到困难而裹足不前,犹疑不觉,不敢向前迈进。戏中的主角,因为背负着一家人的性命,面对困难,因为责任太大,根本没有时间思考,一路往前冲,将一切不可能变成可能。很多人遇到困难便不敢向前,觉得不可能,对于成功突破的人,便说不可能,这应该可以说是上天对人类的考验和遴选吧!(本人也觉得不可能,但是不好意思逆导演的好意^^)我还是选择相信只要尽一切努力,面对困难的时候不要放弃,终于还是会成功的。比起主角的勇往直前,另一个角色Shasa在停了飞机之后没有即时继续前进,逃出来,只好落得飞机爆炸的下场。

这整套戏里面考验人性的极点。整套戏里面几乎没有一个人的性格是完美的。Jackson Curtis,这种在戏里面,被首席科学家Adrian盛赞好人,(请参考“When human stop to help each other, this is the time where humanity is lost”)也被我抓到使坏的时候。就在Jackson知道加州就来沦陷的时候,他就像一个飞机师订了飞机。但是他在那时候并没有告诉那个人灾难将要来临,让那个人带着他的家人一起走,之后在Las Vegas遇到旧老板时却要让旧老板带他一家人离开,也可以说是人性的丑陋吧。(太鸡蛋里挑骨头了^^)Jackson的老板虽然自私,但是在最后也为了自己的儿子牺牲了,也可以说是人性善良的一点。对于这个人性,出来做工应该都知道,通常自私吝啬的人才可以发达做老板(不是说全部啦,是大部分吧^^)有一本漫画说过:“我不是伟人,我只是凡人,所以我会去守护眼前的一切事情,而无暇去顾其他全世界的人。”的确,我们要帮,到底可以帮到多少人?自己的家人?自己喜欢的人?自己的好朋友?自己的同事?自己认识的人?认识的人所认识的人?眼前的人?如果只救自己认识的人而不救不认识的人,是不是偏私,是不是不公平?如果只救眼前人的话,那么其他人怎么办?应该真的只有伟人才可以救到很多人吧!我们只是平凡人吧。。。。。。

戏里面只有十亿欧元的人才可以上船,真的不公平吗?比起从加州突破到方舟,我觉得赚十亿更难。主角可是最后带了6个人上去 (死的人最后也算上了船) , 应该是60亿欧元。60亿欧元有几难赚?应该要来回加州方舟60000次?但是如果全部十亿富翁上船,那么在新世界不是没有人做粗工?

另外一个值得一提的地方是关于Adrian的科学家朋友(忘了叫什么名字)。他是一开始最先发现末日要来临的人。遗憾的是,不知道是有意还是无意,最后上不到方舟。但是在最后一刻,在海啸就要“抵达”他一家人的时候(用海啸“抵达”确实是很奇怪,尤其是在现实世界里面,但是在戏里面,真的是一个一个海啸“抵达”灾地),他竟然打电话给Adrian,并不是要责怪他,而是告诉他海啸比预期早到,而帮助了全部方舟逃过大劫(在戏里面,方舟里的人就是世界剩下来的精英,救了方舟就是救了地球吧)。在现在的世界里,这样的友情信任已经不复多存了。越密切的关系,就越怕对方的出卖;约相信对方,就越怕对方骗我们。想想看,如果我们在同一个情况之下,当我们上不到方舟,我们会不会怀疑对方是拿了自己的科学研究去升官发财,以便换取方舟入场卷,而骗了自己一家人呢?

特别喜欢那一句“I THOUGHT WE HAVE MORE TIME”,和那对在游轮上的老排挡。到底在末日来到的时候我会采取什么态度?认识我够深的人应该会知道吧呵呵^^

蛮喜欢和欣赏这个演员,无论是演技还是角色设计。没有了他这套戏应该失色不少吧!!

Sunday, November 15, 2009 1:07am

Long time no visit my own blog, I don't think got people visit here also. Good also, can give me some private space.

Life is miserable. Every moment is getting worst. Every time also come across something that you felt is the worst thing ever and you can't get through it. I know end up everything will be fine perhaps (because I realize that I am not really that easy to die suddenly and the world will never end while I am living), but frankly speaking, I don't like the feeling.

I can't find my aim in life. I can't find the path to become what I want. I know what I lack of, but I don't know how to improve it.

I don't feel I am needed. I mean maybe I am needed, but the people that need me can't accept me also. They need me in terms of their perspective. And the people that I need don't feel like needed by me. Human relationship is such a complicated stuff. Start to understand why man's world most relationship are maintained through advantages, because relationship itself is too weak and unpredictable.

Saturday when I drove home from work, suddenly I feel very lonely. Am I still not mature enough because I still feel lonely? Anyway started to get use of staying alone.

Human usually can't accept other people do something bad. But they will do the thing themselves. Selfish? Human just hope to protect own benefits. Or perhaps they just want to survive. I now truly understand the feeling when no money. I always don't like other people do something yet myself did the same thing. Sometime I feel am I too kind to survive in this world? Am I too easy to understand other people situation that put myself in a difficult position? Is it all the feeling occurred because I still not mature enough. Just wonder how many more I need to improve before i really feel succeed.

Still owe friend a lot of debt, really feel sorry for them...

i really don't like these, these is really the darkness moment in my life, and when I imagine that there are darker then these, I lose the faith and courage to continue......

This whole post is so meaningless, hope next time I will have mood to share more informative issue.

nightmare

Yesterday night just had a nightmare. Long time didn't have nightmare. (Finally, this time challenge horror novel in my blog!)

I slept at 2am, not so usual....

Enter dream......

Inside the dream (well actually when we dream, we don't really feel like we are dreaming, but real feeling.....)

I am inside my car.

New car, pearl white MYVI AGU 2948.

At basement.

Not sure is at which building's basement.

So far I have gone to Sunway Pyramid, Tropiciana City, and my site Solaris Dutamas 2 basement.

According to my colleague, basement is the place where the xxxxx exist.

Since the location is deep down inside from land.

I assume that I was at Solaris Dutamas basement.

That side basement only allow car parking at basement 6, others not open yet.

Not open, means no light, very dark.

I am sitting inside my car at Solaris Dutamas 2 basement 6.

Before that I think I am doing something.

But forget already.

At that moment I am sitting in the car, like want to fetch someone.

There are 2 people beside my car.

If not mistaken 1 of them is Andy Yu, my work friend.
(Can't really call colleague, since we are in different company, but got deep relation between 2 companies)

And another people, not really remember who is it.

Maybe is Faisau (colleague of Andy Yu).

All of a sudden......

Both of them point to my car's back seat

With shocking face expression

I turn back to look at my car's back seat

A safety helmet

Obviously not belong to 3 of us.

I won't put safety helmet on the seat side of my car, at most also at legs there.

beside the safety helmet

or can say near the safety helmet

There is a shadow at there

A shadow like an object similar to human.

WOKE UP INSTANTLY.

4am at morning when I look at my clock......

THE END

I don't think is really a horror story, just a dream, a bad dream eventually.

But at that moment feel so scare, scare until wake up, and found difficulty to sleep back.

At the next morning, wake up and go to work as usual.

When driving my car to park in basement, not scare anymore.

Under normal condition, actually not really scare this type of things.

But how come the feeling of scare is so strong when sleeping?

According to my past experience, when sleeping, true attitude or so call true self of someone will come out.

By other words, the weak me will appear when sleep.

And inside dream.

How come the true me is so weak compare to real me.

Or that one is another me?

That is just another personal feeling from individual experience.

Maybe I just think too much again?

Perhaps......

hate hate hate

HATE......

I HATE WHY THE LINE SO SLOW EVEN AT EARLY MORNING LIKE THIS. It took me almost 5 minutes to log in to this page? Even I want to express something I so hate also need gave hinderance to me like that?

I HATE MODZILLA FIREBOX BROWSER. What's the problem now, just opening 2 mini games in facebook (restoran city and roller coaster) is the limit of modzilla? IT IS REALLY FUCKING LAG. Even more lag then when I open 2 charactor in online game.

I HATE MAFIA WAR. Are you still in beta version? How come sometimes load you is like endless load?

I HATE SHARING TOILET WITH 4, AND NOW EVENTUALLY BECOME 5 PEOPLE. This one not much to explain, really damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn damn "DULAN" sometimes.

I HATE CAR PARK HERE. 5 minutes plus distance, yet in the danger of having "saman". A few times forget cellphone......

I HATE WORK. How come I need to struggling in such type of work, yet need to console ownsself that I still very happy and enjoy?

I HATE MYSELF. Why I still so weak, still so childish, unmature, can't used to so many things I hate, and HATE SO MANY THINGS AT THIS EARLY MORNING......

Convocation 14/08/2009

This might be a long passage, be prepared...

Why so long?

Since it is about the event that indicate an end of my long long journey......

Born at 1985, enter St. John Kinder garden at age 4, enter Methodist Kinder garden at age 5 (weird, I am not christian or catholic anyway, yet enter related school. Well, hard to explain, since I think I at that time don't even know how to spell my school's name)

Later enter SRJK(C) (long time didn't come through this word, miss it) Yuk Hua at age 7, then change to SRJK(C) Poi Lam at standard 3 half year.

Later, continue study from SRJK(C) to SMK Poi Lam (just beside, walk can reach, not even got any fench or boundary separate between the primary school and secondary school) until form 5, then change school to SMK Sam Tet (not really want to abandone my old school, but really didn't have form 6 course provided).

After STPM, enter USM (university science malaysia engineering branch campus) and purchase for the bachelor degree of mechanical engineering. After 4 years, succeed.

Total years of study, 21 years......

After 21 years, this convocation can be taken as an officially closing ceremony for my official study life......

Sounds meaningful......

Perhaps......

A bit drag away (recently read a lot of internet novel, start to follow their style of writing, forgive me, actually just want to make my blog post more interesting......)

So mainly this passage will be about my convocation, included the preparation, and the follow up activities after convocation.

Let's start.....

My convocation falls on 14/08/2009, is Friday, no choice, have to take leave. Struggle a bit whether want to take Thursday also as leave, end up took also. Have a nice sleep at morning of Thursday (since Wednesday night is badminton night, sure tired, one of the reason to take whole day leave at Thursday). Slowly picking up my speed packing things while finish another internet novel. Rush to cut my hair at speed cut shop (it cost RM15, a bit expensive, but no choice since the RM10 shop no open, and the skill of the barber is not really good, luckily is a quite pretty girl, and the service still ok). Later rush to fetch my sister at Sunway College, then drive down to KLCC to meet my brother. First time go KLCC, so sure lost my way. Reach at KLCC at a not so suitable time, so end up have dinner with my sister at KLCC. Found my brother only at 9pm, and with the average speed of 160-170 (Toyota Vios), we manage to reach home at 11pm (I don't think I can break that record for the rest of my life). Pack things at home again, end up sleep at 1am.

The next day (actually not the next day also, since 1am already is the next day, just after 2 hours only), woke up at 3am. Why woke up so early? Big day, need more time to prepare well (some people said that I so slow like girls, actually it is due to my high value of area of body). Thanks Eugene again for borrow me coat, shirt and camera (end up I just wear the shirt, since the coat is too small for me). Set off at 4:50am, and reach USM penang at 6:15am (average speed 130-140, new car ^^).


So basically this is my convo appearance. The pants and coat is my brother's one, the shirt is eugene one. Actually I got bought a RM30 watch for this convo but it is not so clear in this photo. I would like to explain about the tie, actually I really don't want to wear USM tie, but due to my brother's forgetness, end up have to receive the fate. The rest are bollowed from USM, the hat got a bit problem, too small for my big head, end up need go to change at the last minute before enter the hall.

The event start at 9pm. Surprisingly fast, after sing national enthem and USM song, then straight start give out the scroll. 800++ students, end at 10:30am. Some talks and prays later, we are off at 11am.

After come out, since my junior haven't come, so I went to have photo session with my families. They can't wait for me since I request for 1 hour before go lunch (eventually end up almost 2 hours), so they went eat and go back Ipoh.



My father, my elder brother, my younger sister, me, and my mother......

Caution, many photos below......

This is the photo taken when just finish getting the scroll and prepare to go out from hall. Made a big mistake by standing at the most front side, end up my body is obviously so big......



First person I manage to get after come out from hall. Mr. Thomas, a surprising buddy for me, talent in plenty field, yet always claim that I am a good friend. Somehow sometime he really gave me some encouragement. Thanks!



Thain Hong, my second year roomate, always fetch me go everyway on his motorcycle when second year. Kind-heated young man, can be counted as one of my brother in university.


Lim Chee Liang! One year younger then me, but I always admit that he is a real talent eventhough he always take it as a joke (I seldom rate other people so high in my life). We can really talk a lot, but half of the time argueing. Help me a lot and support me much when I struggling in university. Special friend~


3 people inside this photo. Count from the left is Lim Boon Ping, Loh Chee Keong, and Tan Kak Hoe. Lim Boon Ping, not really much interact when studying, but he claimed to want to know more about me and want me take him as a better friend? Anyway he is the person that help me take my custum when I am not at Penang eventhough he get me such a small hat. Mostly is because during the 4 years study time I always say his head big (his head really big, when you look at his whole body, you will feel the mighty of his head, anyway head big is good, totally no offence). Anyway I really no blaim him for the small hat, and really thanks a lot for his help (My rushness at that morning also due to his dissapearance with my jubah, no blame also haha). Loh Chee Keong, another kind guy, passionate, always like to help other people. Well, I not really need help in university so we less interact (just kidding). Tan Kak Hoe, really talented in singing, something I can't achieve even how hard I work (well, not really work hard also).


Alllen Tan, a kind guy that always care and help me, and even this photo is so far the best photo I have been taken for convo. Thanks buddy!!!


Yok San, a student study civil engineering and came from Kuantan. Not really have any related with me but somehow we become good friends. A bit touched, since he is the first junior that came and wait me just to take photo with me (of course I will be more glad if he bring along present). Anyway, he looks a bit like my best friend in Ipoh, Liew Hong Chuan.


Liew Woei Yaw, another best friend of mine. Same age, having same interest in manga and anime, have the best time in second year. One of the important people in my life. Wish him all the best. Anyway, where is he looking at......


Woon Wai Leong, we know each other when first year. Funny guy, can always make people beside him feel happy and comfort. Become best friend at final year, one of the support for me to continue hard job nowadays. Thanks!


Friends from Sam Tet. Obviously not coming for me, but still happy since can take photo with them. Really hope can have more time with them, since must be very interesting and enjoyable spending time with them, yet life is so unpredicatable.....


21 years of studying life, how many friends can stay till the end? The fellow wearing orange colour is the friend I know since standard 3. Now already reach 15 years we know each other. We have been class mate till form 6, and meet again when intern. So glad that he make it eventhough he is working. Lim Wei Chiat is his name. The blue colour guy, old friend of mine also, and is obviously being drag by Mr. Lim, anyway, thanks also, since Ngoh Choo Shyang also a friend that almost know for 10 years. Keep in touch! (Now life so simple with msn, still remember last time when small when I go certain camp, know a few good friends from other state yet end up lose contact soon, life is really......)


Choong Chin Hooi, my junior, friend perhaps. Complicated boy. Determined in life. Came to know him when I final year. He is the person that make my final year birthday remarkable (main organisor). It is surprisingly that Eugene can recognise him as the person. Anyway, really didn't regret helping him at all.


Ah Kok (not really know his fullname), civil school dai lou, mostly the dai lou that closest to me. One so white, one so black haha.


Two more people to be introduced here. Lee Shih Yung (left), another best friend in university, play an important role before and after my internship. Lau Seh Lee, the best soccer player I ever get to know in my life(no need much explaination la, this sentence will make him very satiesfied already).


Weird photo, I forget what this guy name is, since he live opposite my room at final year, and we not really have any conversation. Have a great smile.


My USM family! Adik, super adik, hyper adik... Don't understand one ask USM people......

USM education counselor group? End up less so few people? Where is Ng Tiong Yew, my best partner?


Looks like Ng Tiong Yew is here, standing at my left hand side. Just can say I won't become who I am proud to be now if I don't know him in my life. Can't admit that he is so far the person in this world that most understand me. The fellow standing at my right hand side is Yong Shong Liang, another best friend of university (so many best friend, but I really mean it wheneve I mentioned), also help a lot when I work, since me always phone and disturb him when i bored of work.

One amazing things during convocation is the length of photo session. Let's take an easy example. Every graduate will have one family member taking own camera. Let's say 3 graduate taking photo together, then 3 camera will be there. When the forth person enter, then 4th camera will enter also, and the 4 camera need to retake photo again (because add one more people, the content of the photo will different). Why am I wasting time here explain this simple theory? Well, it is due to the incident occured at convo. I end up standing there keep on smiling for more then 5 minutes while 20++ camera continuosly (yes, is continuously) taking photo. Long smile, and amazing scenery, guess I won't have that chance anymore.....

Below are some photos at that session:


Still less people, easy, cheers~


One example of photo taken. Imagine the crowd, each people have one camera, and the camera man end up need to stand at so far side angle......


Here are some continuos photo, looks good everyone here......


Need to change some post, good also for the frozen smile......


Preparing to throw hat(mortar board)! Eventually throughout the whole time I think I already throw for 5 times++ (don't throw too high, since you will need it back very soon, and it might get lost or mix with other people......)


Ready~

Opps, where is my mortar board?


Still not throw yet.....


Throw finally!!! Happy graduate!!!!!!

(So far I havn't got all the photos, and for those that I didn't mention or post photo here don't feel upset, you all will always be in my heart)

After all those photo session, already 1pm. Don't have any people to eat with (can't eat with other people family, and if go out with whole bunch of junior, feel weird and expensive to pay for all). Luckily still got Chin Hooi (somehow sometimes he like to stay alone). Have a nice lunch in Kim Garry at Queensbay, later go back to his house to take some nap, but end up can't sleep well. Feel dizzy, and end up can't go anyway at night. Sorry for those whom I promise to plan for gathering but end up nothing happened......


Woke up a bit late at Saturday morning, rush to USM but end up didn't return my robe. Later rush to Gurney for sing K with friends.

This photo can see my watch clearer.Still enjoy singing as usual, got feel like my singing skill a bit improve, but the outcome still need ask the audience (not really got any people feel me sing good......)

After that need to rush back home, end up drop by my real school, USM kkj (too tired, fell asleep when driving, dangerous). Slept in Yok San room for awhile, then have a dinner at the restoran behind Maybank near Nibong Tebal there with Yok San, Zhuo Ming, Kok Weng, and one more Kok Weng's friend. Treat junior first time, something that I always want and hope to do long time ago. RM97 for 5 people, got sotong, scallope, vegetable, egg, and pork leg, not bad.

Reach home at 10pm, then sleep at around 12am. Woke up at 10am++, then have to pack to go back KL and need to start work. All the best, and thank you again for everyone!

(Wonder how long can this post go......)

九把刀 功夫

有时候,人不会明白自己真正的情感,一旦被深深伤害了,自暴自弃就成为唯一的选项;殊不知,其实能令自己悲伤的,正是自己最珍贵的感情,因为珍贵,所以永远都不能放弃,永远都不该掉头就走。

领悟到这个道理时,人,多半已经失去所珍惜的感情了。
