Time to sit down and study :)

提名9大金马奖项的《海角七号》带给台湾人的震撼简直无法想象。这部没有大牌导演、大牌明星的小成本电影，是台湾民众的“心灵鸡汤”。让人振奋的地方是，每个角色虽然都卑微地活着，却没有放弃对生活的执著。小人物们在演出中释放了自我，体验了生命的精彩。正如台湾资深影评人王长安撰文所说，《海角七号》里的小人物之所以打动观众，是因为他们“快乐地面对生活，自在地面对歧见，宽厚地面对历史”。

每个人心中都有一封寄不出的情书，不管是寄到天涯，还是...
跨越六十年的七封情书，追寻一辈子的音乐梦想...

“人只能活一回，梦想却有无数个，唯有放手一搏，才能知道机会属不属於自己……。”

这是我放假后第一部最想看的电影。题材其实只是一些寄不出去的情书，但勾起了许多回忆。都市人的爱情已经缺乏了这类浪漫爱情史，唯有利用现代化的科技沟通方式。


今天 Screening 里看到了许多优质作品。

有一个探讨：What will you want to do after graduation?

而出现了我的声音：University is a waste of time…

也有朋友说：I wrote a letter to myself when I was 20 years old, I kept it. I will wait till when I am 30 years old and I open the letter, to remind myself the keep up with the passion.

另一个探讨：What is your childhood dream?

有人说，童年有着许多无邪的梦想。曾经居住在乡村里的大人们仍怀念那自由自在的学习生涯。放学后，与几个甘榜朋友到池边钓鱼，隔天在到学校抄作业。

让我想起了我刚交上去的文学批评文：蔡深江散文《漫步经心》
“每个人心中都有池塘。我们小时侯用来投掷微笑的池塘。后来，荒芜了，那时没每一则神话最美的交代，。。。池塘必须荒芜而且被成长的孩子遗忘”池塘是孩子们童年的地方，承载着童年悲欢记忆，那一度真实地存在过，然后消失无踪，成为回忆中虚幻的片断。可是随着年级的增长，这童年玩耍的地方便荒芜及遗忘了。

如果有一天能回到童年时光，那该多好。。。

咳嗽咳了很多个月，一直没好。周日去FYP Shooting 时，看到了 Louise Hay 的 “You can Heal your Life” then I recalled I had this book too! It is an excellent book for restructuring one’s life, finding self-esteem and self-love.

It all started more than 30 years ago when Louise saw how people let illness and hurtful circumstances control their lives. She vowed to help them see that the root of their pain stemmed from their own negative thoughts. So, she listed down various medical conditions, explained what thoughts correlated with them, and showed us that the way to heal our lives was just a positive thought away.

Louise had a simple message that she wanted to share: “The body, like everything else in life, is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. Every cell within your body responds to every single thought you think and every word you speak.”

For example:

HEADACHES come from invalidating the self. So the next time you get a headache, stop and ask yourself where and how you have just made yourself wrong. Forgive yourself, let it go and the headache will dissolve back into the nothingness from where it came.

Migraine headaches are created by people who want to be perfect and who create a lot of pressure on themselves. A lot of suppressed anger is involved.

FEVERS, SORED & INFLAMMATIONS are indication of anger expressing in the body. Anger will find its way to express, no matter how much we try to suppress it.

CANCER is caused by deep resentment held for a long time until it literally eats away at your body. Something happens in childhood that destroys the sense of trust. People with cancer are very self critical. Learn to love and accept yourself.

OVERWEIGHT represents a need for protection. We seek protection from hurts, slights, criticism, abuse, sexuality, from a fear of life in general. Tell yourself, I am not a heavy person. Love yourself and when the treat is gone, the excess weight goes away too.

So Miss Ow, love yourself :)

To Fungie,
i understand how you feel. Here's a BIG HUG for you... :)
