琅琊榜

我想说一说琅琊榜这部剧。此剧是我多年追戏以来最投入的一部古装戏。看完了也都对此剧念念不忘。这剧本写得精密精彩,有许多细节和人物写得好有层次及深度。不管是主角,奸人或是配角都有性格,奸人也有详细的处事动机。故事的目的很简单,就为了洗冤冤死七万赤焰军忠魂及祁王一案。琅琊榜赞在专注这目标投入,连人物的儿女私情都靠边站,显得没比国家大事,捍卫这赤子之心来的重要。每个人都压抑着自己的情感。好美的一个理念,唯有在此剧我才体会到。

唯美的情,在于兄弟,朋友,战友,家人,之间的支柱。不管从什么背景都为真相为良心为无辜行侠仗义揭开过错讨回公道。无论有多艰难,就算是死也凭这赤子之心的理念冒险救友。虽然有很多戏都带过这些理念,但最后观众最瞩目的重点乃绕在主角和女主角的情戏而盖过了这其他的“情”。这平常关注的爱情点只在这戏内只占了个1%,而把其他的“情”都放大了,很有新鲜感。让我身为华人以此荣耀的概念。

语录 (slight spoilers from ep26)
有一句萧景睿对乃有愧疚的梅长苏说了一句关于对友情的话最让我难以释怀:

凡是人总有取舍。你取了你认为重要的东西,舍弃了我,这只是你的选择而已。若是我因为没有被选择就心生怨恨,那这世间岂不是有太多不可原谅之处。毕竟谁也没有责任要以我为先、以我为重,无论我如何希望,也不能强求。我之所以如此待你,是因为我愿意,若能以此换来同样的诚心固然可喜;若没有,我也没有什么可后悔的。”
好大的宽容心。。不知在现实世界能否做到。

我的熟女时代

Yesterday I finally watched the much hyped 我的少女时代. It did live up to the hype - it was funny, hilarious, romantic, tear inducing, close to heart and relatable to almost everyone. While there are many memorable liners, I for one find the opening memorable. I can’t find the exact lines for now but it started with the character reminiscing “小时候的我我常常幻想,長大後的我會是怎樣的.” and then she concluded her current adult state was: ”不怎样.“

对咯,就是不怎样!
为什么会这样?

When I was young, I would imagine my life after graduation would be a big fanfare. That all of my then desired will come true after I graduate from school - that I would be a great graphic designer designing magazine spreads for my favourite celebrities, directing shoots, earn lots of money, have a whirlwind of a romance, be prettier and more confident. Sadly reality isn’t a fairy tale, only 20% of what I wished for is actualised. I have a design job, I earn enough to get by and go on a overseas trip once a year.

无力,无趣,觉得自己不是自己
Gradually, the shine and hope having a bright future waned down while the tolls and increasing responsibilities of adulthood creeps in. Like a helpless leaf being blown by the wind and going wherever the wind carries. But what I do know as an adult is that dreaming doesn’t get you very far but finding the steps that will take you there is what we need to figure out.

对三十后的展望
没有如愿的理想人生是因为不够努力?还是怕失败失望不敢去想。不敢去实现。觉得自己不可能会做到。或者是说完全无法实际得决定自己想要的是什么。就这样飘着飘着看着命运会带自己到什么地方。其实我对三十后的展望也没什么。 只想自己变得更独立,更能干,有自信,乐观一点,有家人,有朋友,喜欢自己多一些。这不会太难吧?
