还是说王的男人
以为看电影之前既然把60-70%片断看了，那真正看电影时就少了那种toko doki 初恋的感觉。谁知道还是蒙得厉害。
戏末那段长生和孔吉在高空绳索上表演的戏中戏，堪称整部片子的精髓所在。
单看着一段10分钟左右的戏，值回票价。
长生 ：开始演戏后，和另一个戏子玩得很快乐，为了这份快乐我瞎了眼。 来到湘阳城后我被看戏的人投来的铜板蒙蔽了双眼（这是意义上的瞎了眼）,进了宫，我更瞎了，有个混蛋来偷走他的心我也看不到！
孔吉 ：你是混蛋！瞎子有那么好吗?
长生：很好！非常好啊！
孔吉：你是笨蛋吗?明明看不到还跑到上面去！（这时的长生已经被燕山君弄瞎了眼睛）。你马上给我下来！
长生: 无礼的家伙！我是这宫中的王！
孔吉：是啊！我一直想见王一面，看到后就明白了！

长生: 无礼的家伙！我是这宫中的王！
孔吉：是啊！我一直想见王一面，看到后就明白了！
为什么会觉得这一幕绳索上的戏中戏是全片精髓？
片名王的男人— 王指的是燕山君还是长生？
王就是王。
戏外有个燕山君。戏里有个扮演王的长生。
长生说了有个混蛋来偷了孔吉的心。 孔吉回骂长生是混蛋 ----肯定了他的心是被混蛋长生偷了。长生说自己是戏里的王， 孔吉也再次肯定了长生就是王-------我一直想见王一面。
王的男人 ---- 有很多层面的意义。不单只是燕山君。
戏外燕山君是王，戏里长生是王。两个性格和社会阶级极端的王。燕山君一直摆脱不了母亲的阴影，活得痛苦，还不如低下戏子长生洒脱。
孔吉始终是个戏子。他选择了和自己心里的王留在戏里面。
最后一幕孔吉和长生的对手戏，经典！
PS:本地上映好像有被剪辑过。很多之前看过的镜头，很神奇的没有了。

王的男人
5月电影在台北上映，已经零零碎碎的听了很多网友的感想，还有看了差不多60-70%的片断(网络世界真美好，网友们也太了解我这个色女性格，专门寄了李准基的部分给我观赏。)
看之前心里有点小兴奋。
东方断背山？连男人都怜惜的男人?广告文字也太哪个了吧!!!!
看完片子，心里面竟然有酸酸的感觉。
特此澄清一下: (1)这不是同志电影 （2）这不是爱情电影
电影刻画了种种的人性，描写了种种大时代下的无奈。
电影拍得很含蓄，很多场面都是轻轻带过。
戏中戏故意拍得粗俗，几场街边卖艺和宫宴上的大戏开了王宫里所有人的玩笑，见证了一幕又一幕的血染悲剧。
各式各样的情。各式各样的欲望。君臣，兄弟，母子，夫妻。。。。纠缠在一起，结果都是闹剧收场。
王对孔吉有一份相遇相知的感激，只是后来感情的出发点变得有点奇怪了。 红颜都福薄。万年不变呢！
在绳子上耍伎，一越而上的那一刻，真真无拘无束，可是也就只有那一刻的小小缝隙，又落脚了，又回到了令人心惊胆条的绳子上，稍有差池，万劫不复。
PS:口痕再补多一句- 李准基一出场，我就想找豆腐来撞了。。。。。明明是个小男生的说，怎么就长得那么清秀！

BH Jelly Making Tips
Ke heeeeeeeeheeeheehehehehe!
Just done a lemon flavoured one with Hosen brand canned cocktail.
Discovery tonite :
1) Substitute cold water with ice. It quickens the process much faster and you achieve the semi-solid state pretty quickly for you to dump your cocktail in to create a scattered effect.
(dunno what i mean-----??? Am quite lousy at explaining...erm, you dissolve the crystals in 1 cup of hot water as per instructions. By right the second cup of water is supposed to be cold, but you substitue it with ice cubes instead. Coz the first cup is hot, when you add in the ice cubes, it cools down very quickly as the cubes melt....Errrr, get it?)
2) Do not do the "cocktail bits" test to see if the bits float. Use a spoon to test how far the jelly mixture has jelly-fied (??). Visually, if you drag the spoon in the mixture, it should leave a tail in the mixture. Roughly the consistency is about that of the raw egg white. The time I took was about 2h15min before the mixture achieved the correct consistency
3) To get a really scattered effect with the cocktail bits, after adding it in, STIR REALLY HARD! (cos the bits tend to float and lump together)
Yeah yeah....am gonna have lemon jelly with cocktail tomorrow.
Will try a new recipe on Saturday nite- substitute water with flavoured ice tea when dissolving the crystals.
Yuj - 过来吃啦。。。。或一起做果冻！真的很好玩的说。不过如果有人以为我变贤妻良母就大错特错了。基本上，我只是为了好玩，也不知道热度会持续多久。。。笑！

Jelly Making Weekend ^O^
Ow......alright.....have been experimenting with this TORTALLY jelly mix whole weekend.
(Scenic - I have almost perfected it and if the fishbone is still there, I will make a huge bowl of jelly for you next week. What flavour you wan??)
BH's obsession with jelly started on ....ta---da-----!!!!
Friday nite :
started with strawberry flavour and just followed the directions on the package. Jelly turned out just as expected, except a bit tasteless. Think I added to much water, but I was worried the crystals would not dissolve and I was stirring like mad. So much for kiasu-ism.....will add in lesser water the next time. And I was lazy to wash the molds, so I let the entire pack set in one huge soup bowl.
After putting it into the fridge, I was basically OBSESSED with the jelly bowl. Every commercial break, I would open the fridge and poke my fingers into it to see if the jelly has set. No luck and I went to bed unsatisfied.
The jelly set by the next morning and I dug a huge metal spoon ( which I nicked on my last JAL flight) into the bowl. Texture was okay except it was a bit on the soft side ( I like my jelly springy!!!!! like Doing....doing......) and a bit bland. Other than that, was quite happy with myself.
Saturday
Fixated with how fruit bits could be added into jelly.

Fixated with how fruit bits could be added into jelly.
Major question was HOW DO THE FRUIT BITS STAY SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE JELLY AND NOT SINK TO THE BOTTOM?????
Asked scenic the same question on the MRT........
We both pondered ..... and pondered.....
--layering ?? - Nah, my jelly dessert will look like kueh lapis
--sthg to do with density?? -- Ummm, probably, I need to try this out. But the fruit bits feel like they would sink to the bottom of the mold.....really need to experiment on this one.
Bought 2 more packs of TORTALLY jelly mix ( Lime and Strawberry <---again!) and 1 can of fruit cocktail before hitting home. Played with the lime flavour jelly pack before going to bed. Am getting quite good at it......mix the crystals in hot water till everything is dissolved, then add cold water. Simple! Next comes the density test - dropped in one pear bit.....it SANK right to the bottom of the mold. Tried again with one peach bit.....SANK as well. Almost wanted to just pour the entire can in and let all the fruit bits sink. ( That way, when I inverted the mold the next day, all the fruit bits would at least be at the top??)
For a good 20 mins, I just stared at the jelly mix......added fuit bits one by one. In between, I did the finger poking thing as well. Strange thing was, the jelly mix was still liquid but after a while, not all the fruit bits sank. Poured in the whole can and while majority of the bits sank, some actually floated and were scattered around. Uh-hum......so I actually need to wait for the jelly mix to sort of like set half way and make sure its still liquid form, the add in the fruit bits for the scattered effect.
Density test OK !!!!!! Put the mold into the fridge and went to bed feeling really satisfied.
Sunday
Totaly obsessed with removal of the jelly from the mold with the jelly intact. It was almost impossible!!!!! Jelly is not agar agar! It sticks to the bloody mold!!!!!!!!!
Made a big mess out of it but found out later from helpful mother that I should have just run hot water on the outside of the mold to dislodge the jelly layer next to the mold. This should release the entire jelly intact.
Okay, will try again this coming weekend. This time will play with fruit juices instead of cold water to make the jelly mix. And also, try and get the entire jelly out of the mold intact.
Qn : whats the diff between Jelly and jello?

SVOLOCHI
本片俄文名直接翻譯為流氓，不過很多國家都把它翻譯為戰地童子。
背景 ： 1943年，俄國
導演： aleksandr atanesyan（聽説是俄國殿堂級導演）
故事很簡單。話説俄軍爲了制止德軍特種部隊eidelveis而特別訓練了一批由14-15歲孩童組成的特工部隊。任務完成後，全隊都會被滅口。
當然我寫這篇東西， 不是爲了探討戰爭，政治或什麽道德問題，只是很想說一些東西。如果，因爲有人看了我的這個post而決定去看這部片子，那我就高興了。
被選中的孩子們都是貧窮家的孩子，平時在街頭流浪。軍方會選中他們， 因爲就這種人， 死了也沒人理， 況且為軍隊效勞也可算是這群底下層人民為國家最後的貢獻了。
有幾幕畫面令我印象深刻。
黨軍隊教官第1次看到這群被選中的孩子時， 臉上竟然浮現一種類似溺愛的神情。片子到後來， 我才發現，那個表情更像是同情。
然後在訓練當中，孩子慢慢的一個接一個的死亡。爬山訓練時，不小心墜死。靜靜的，人數變得越來越少。第一個孩童那毫無重量的身體往下跌，死亡原來也可以是那麽簡單。另一個選擇逃走，屍體被扛了回來。其他的孩子只是毫無意識的看了一下屍體。孩子堆當中的孩子王爲了報復同伴，破壞了牠的降落傘。最後同伴死了。孩子王也被處分，活埋了。即使他最後如何不想死，等待他的也只有死亡了。
這群孩子，每一個都不想死，每一個都渴望活下去。
時機成熟，第1批孩童被送上戰場。
Cot是領隊，一共有8 個人。
Cot和tiapa接到秘密指令，要他們比其他隊員早10秒跳傘。
他們安全降落後才發現原來軍隊利用了晚10秒鐘降落的其餘6個同伴的性命掩護他們。
安全到達敵營，cot 和tiapa充滿了恐懼，害怕。原來，到了生死關頭，人類真的脆弱，我們真的會害怕的。他們努力擦掉留下的眼淚，不斷向前移動。Cot和tiapa成功炸毀了德軍基地，之後又開始了另一輪的逃往。
這時在軍地的教官也已經洗好了孩子的衣服， 等待他們執行任務，安全歸來後有乾淨的衣服換洗。可是他們比誰都清楚，這些孩子不會回來了。 (這個畫面是我覺得震撼力最強的。。。比之前那一幕一幕的death face更震撼。)
成功逃出來的cot和tiapa躺在雪地上歡呼，卻不小心踩到地雷。Cot被炸掉一隻手臂，後來傷口發炎，身體開始發燒。Tiapa跑下山找支援時又碰到敵軍。Tiapa躲在角落，忽然聽到身後傳來了雪崩的聲音，tiapa知道他永遠也見不到好友cot了。
鏡頭接換到2005年， 山上一兩私家車正在行社，後座的一位老人這30年一直持續的在山上尋找他的同伴。
兩人又重逢了，已經是白髮蒼蒼，同樣的地方，同樣的風景。。。。
年老的cot和tiapa，年少的cot 和tiapa身影交疊在一起。
只要活著，沒什麽不可能的。
全片結束。
最近看的片子，這部是比較喜歡的，歐血推薦。

Lucify
Kinda agree with what scenic said. Simply find myself rooting for Lucify although I am not even vaguely crazy about them. In fact, throughout the entire season of the Superband Contest, they have fumbled along, making some mistakes here and there, some of these could be laughed at and forgotten....others are simply taboo to me lor.
The one major major 'taboo' thing they did was not tuning the guitars, can't really remember which session, but oh boy was the guitar completely out of tune! This type of mistake....how to forgive and let live? Its one of the most taboo type of things on my list. I can live with bad vocalists, vocalists who forget lyrics....but, but......not ensuring that your guitar is properly tuned just before a major perf is like....DUH......!!!!
Anyway, this blog entry is not about sliming them. Am still one of their armchair supporters ( literally, coz I have not done the phone in thing)....and anyway the post today is about their perf last nite. That the guitar solo was from X-Japan's DAHLIA!!!!! Oh yes...i could not have been wrong!!!!!!!
How how how? Anyone caught it or not! I almost ran and kissed the TV eh!
