 how i've
longed to see this!!!
from tim burton (one of my fav directors), to the
"tree branches" poster (which i've ordered btw), to a
soundtrack by danny elfman (composer of <<edward
scissorhands>>), to ewan mcgregor (both bb and i agreed
that he's not 靚仔, but still very 討好)...everything
seems just perfect.
can't blame my anticipation, can you? so when it's finally
shown in hk theatres, there's certainly no time for me to loose. (and so the crazy bb and
i rushed to ifc palace right after work and watched 2 movies in a
row...)
and it
was worth it. tim
burton maintains his usual ridiculousness, his wierd sense of humor,
and slightly melancholy style. (suddenly have a thought of how great it will
be if tim burton x sandman.
興 crossover 嘛.)
this
movie is about the life of a man who lives in his fantasies. timeline crossovers, lies
(exaggerations, rather) and realty mingles, dreams and real life
merges, all add up to a fairytale like story well told. and as coincidental as it
can be, this movie IS about story-telling!!
yet
edward bloom didn’t live through his adventures just by
day-dreaming. he
possesses the determination which no man has, and in some way or
another, which i lack.
“the more difficult something became, the more rewarding
it was in the end.”
i should really learn from that, as i give up on things almost
always too soon.
examples will be my job, websites, and instruments. took interest on these
almost instantly, but never have the patience to keep up with
it. shame on me.
i like it each and every time when edward
says he knows he should give up, but hasn’t: “there comes a point where a reasonable man will swallow
his pride and admit he’s made a terrible mistake. the truth is, i
was never a reasonable man.” said when he encountered a
“JUMPING SPIDER” sign in the forest. and when he first learnt that sandra is
engaged: “there’s a time when a
man needs to fight, and a time when he needs to accept that his
destiny is lost, that the ship has sailed, and that only a fool
would continue. the
truth is, i’ve always been a fool.” i guess i’m somewhat like him, my mum always
says i’m different from others in that i “勇於改過 永不認錯”, while others act
the other way around.
yup, i’m that stubborn. “三歲定八十”, so you won’t be too surprised now.
