居港歌影視 - Maksim and his Band World Tour 2014

18:31 Maria_Summer 0 Comments

I think this is the very significant moment of why Tiffany met Ducati. Because at some point during my interest exploring, I have turned my music taste from Classics to Classics mixed with Pop elements, or some say it's P-Opera. It started from musicals, Andrew Lloyd Webber (Joseph and the magic multicolored Coat) and Sarah Brightman, to Bond and Maksim.
I put Maksim at the end because he really put an end to the development, til now. Unbelievable!
10 years has passed since his first album. Whenever his music is in the air, I can still find the same feeling like I first met him and his music. Tonight I was at his concert, and I still feel so much excitement in my body that I could hardly hold it down.

Agnes and I were sitting at the $580 section, but still we are hardly close to the stage. The setting of the concert is pretty much like a band's concert, as in an exhibition hall. Points lost at the beginning I have to say, and I feel sorry to feel it but it's my true feeling: simplified Chinese characters at the backdrop.

Since I couldn't wait til he got changed and ready for signing (CDs), I will have to say what I would like to say if by any chance I would meet him personally.

Dear Maksim,
Thank you so much for giving my 10 fruitful and amazing years with your music. I brought your music to most of the places where I have been to. Your music has walked with me through ups and downs, laughter and tear. I love, love, love your music because there are so much passions and enthusiasm withhold. When I first heard your music, I have gained a great deal of power and strength from it. I still remember those sleepless nights for getting exams and papers done, I always had your music running, as your music is the BEST motivation booster. Today at your very live concert I can feel them again. An emotion so strong, that it is like a wall pushing against me so I can't breathe, that it burns my body inside out like fire. I saw your sweat, and I think I can feel your heat, from you and from your music. I hope you would keep up with your talent and hard work so we can have more chance to embrace your music world.
Love.

Seriously, when other audience were feeling cold and having their jackets on, I was complaining (without my jacket of cos) that it's so warm inside. But then, I was pretty excited during the concert, not a single one relaxing moment. He was putting all those very very heavy and exciting pieces in the concert, and he encored twice!!!!!!! Bloody hell! The last piece, pure Flight of Bubble Bee! It was amazing. So amazing that even he had to smile, with so much charm. When I went into the hall, I was still thinking I spent quite some money for one single concert and that maybe according to the value of my sister, my money was pointlessly wasted. But after I heard him trying to catch his breath when he talked, after I saw him sweating inside out with 10 dozen tempo, I know I haven't wasted a penny at all. What's more important is that he, as a person, having such an influence on the stage. I mean after so many years of piano training, how many musician can climb on this stage among so many around the world. He stood on this stage with such a wonderful band and never worried for one moment that he would be overshadowed or outshone.
Oh! By the way,  I love his very deep and soft voice.
and I think that's too long and that's all. I wish he has a good journey flying back home.
Please come back soon.

居港歌影視 - Exodus Gods and Kings

10月11月兩個月得閒到爛屐都冇入戲院睇過一套戲,一踏入12月就套套都想睇﹗
影評我已經冇寫好耐,(Prof.) Thomas Lee 教落要寫低自己既思緒,先可以更清晰有條理同有邏輯咁思考。

今日同文姐去咗APM睇出埃及紀。
卡士︰
荷里活好明顯咁係以Christian Bale做招徠,吸引一班非教徒同影迷,策略是很不錯。
當然,佢既演技同靈活度都無可置疑;而佢既名氣由Batman之後一直有增無減,直到今日無人不知無人不曉。多年前其實佢已經拍過好多部都算幾出名既電影,可惜一直都係做白臉小生,公子哥兒等角色實在冇咩發揮。然而,佢都好適合做亦正亦邪,甚至有精神病既角色。
所以對我嚟講,佢會係同Moses大纜都扯唔埋既人物之一。
另一個超級大卡士就係Sigourney Weaver,惡害母后既角色,真係好啱佢。
其餘既我都唔係好識,只係得Joel Edgerton (Rhamses)有啲面善,佢呢個大帝輕佻狂妄得嚟,有一種好特別既感覺,好有英國貴族既感覺,rather than 法老王。
之後仲要讚一讚Ben Kingsley,佢真係做咩國藉既角色都好似,天生既恩賜,無計﹗
總括嚟講,成個setting 都係歐美人面孔,埃及以色列佈景,靚就幾靚,不過有點commercial。

內容︰
「梅瑟五書」中既出谷紀係一段非常精彩既一部書。
當然兩個幾鐘係冇可能描述晒成部書既內容,不過以改編劇本嚟講,佢都跟得幾足,重要既片段都有齊,而且都用比較自然既手法表達出嚟。其實我好怕以前拍出谷紀既電影電視,都好鐘意將越逾節嗰段拍得好神化,好似鬼片咁,有一道光穿梭於大小街道,殺害家中長子。
電影中很多地方都有簡略交代事情發展既前因後果,聖經當然係冇架啦,所以睇聖經其實係睇得一頭霧水,不明所以來,但係劇本加咗好多起承轉合,包括︰佢點知自己既身世﹖佢點解會由宮殿中走到去曠野當中,預見佢既妻子﹖佢點解會俾天主揀選作為帶領以色列人既領袖﹖點解法老王會接見佢,同佢對話﹖(香港嗰幾件人仔,佔領街道兩個月,絕食到幾乎冇命,都冇人肯接見佢地囉。頂﹗事隔三千幾年喇﹗呢啲唔係大倒退係咩﹗) 仲竟然有對頭幾大天然災害既科學分析﹗真係估佢唔到﹗所以佢可以講一句,當地係一個文明既地方﹗(當然都有唔文明既時候,包括求神問卜既情節)
而紅海一幕係最離譜既一段。
紅海並冇突然分成兩半,露出中間旱地,冇「水在他們左右好像牆壁」。而卻成為咗一種自然現象︰退潮。但係就有海水湧回旱地,成為巨浪淹沒埃及人既戰車,場面依然好壯觀,並一如無線劇集既橋斷,兩個企喺海中間既主角安然無恙咁游返上岸,而其他已經徹退緊既軍隊就全部罹難……此為敗筆。
阿郎同若蘇厄都分別成為大配角,得兩三句對白。阿郎仲完全唔知梅瑟有天主照著咁款,第一個質疑佢咁。若蘇厄戲份比較多,佢親眼見到梅瑟同天主講嘢,但係佢又見到唔天主,所以只係見到梅瑟同空氣講嘢,比著我,我可能會懷疑佢只係精神病,加埋Christian Bale既外型仲似﹗(佢既FANS請多多原諒! )
而亮點係天主。我覺得呢個天主同我認識既天主比較相似,呢個係我覺得比較高興既事。我心目中既天主係一個好堅定既天主,但同時佢都俾好大既自由度俾人類,佢俾人好多opportunity去選擇,做,定唔做,係人揀,唔係佢安排。同時,佢亦比較能夠接受人有唔同既意見,有唔認同佢某啲旨意既時候,即使係咁,天主揀選既人依然會跟著天主即旨意去做。呢個係新約當中,能夠感受到既天主;舊約當中,對天主既描述相比之下係以堅定同有威嚴既。有時我唔係好明,天主點解會相差咁大﹖按照電影中既描述,我比較容易理解。同時,寫劇本既人亦真係有深入去探索天主既神髓。
PS: 身為「黃絲帶」,佢講既嘢其實都幾啱而家香港既Situation。
尤其是同總督既一席話,真係好啱駛,如果香港既政治界有一個半個咁既人物,我走都走得安心好多。唉。

唔經唔覺返左嚟原來已經四個幾月, 竟然開始掛著歐洲嘅嘢食:
1. 德國芝士火鍋 (Ofen Käse)
2. 鮮肉腸 (Bratwurst)
3. 炒薯粒 (Bratkartoffeln)
4. 焗蘋果 (gebackte Apfeln)
仲有附帶嘅寒冷天氣及暖爐。

Never imagined, after 4 months staying in HK, I actually miss the European food:
1. Ofen Käse
2. Bratwurst
3. Bratkartoffeln
4. Gebackte Apfeln
As well, the cold and heater which comes along.
