I recently watched this movie in Christchurch with Gerry. Before I went to the cinema all I knew about this movie was that there was a man who was born in his old age and ages backward. The story started with a blind man who was a clock designer in 1918. He hoped the clock could make time go back to before the first world war which his son and many other young men died in. His clock was special because it ran backwards instead of forwards. Benjamin, played by Brad Pitt, was born at the same time the clock was put into use and this began his fancy life.

The early fall's night
昨天天氣超好,即使到了夜晚溫度也沒像前些日子即速下降,漫步在安靜的街上,沿著步道,看著兩旁的住戶,幻想著未來的房子要有什麼樣的前庭及後院,很開心也很滿足,因為幻想不用付費。

Slumdog Millionaire
早就聽說這部片在美國很紅,看World focus時有提到一些內容,可是相反地卻在印度某些地區不受好評,因為導演用了Slumdog這個名詞來形容「貧民窟」的人,而引發了小小的抗爭。其實這是部社會寫實愛情電影(商業性很重的電影),但它為何會在西方國家如此受歡迎呢?因為它編排的很精巧,而導演用了倒敘及時態交錯的手法,讓電影場景緊湊流暢,既有紀錄片的寫實,又充滿了旅行電影般的詩意。十分鐘後,當鏡頭一整個掃過貧民區時,你就會隨著背景音樂跟著故事而起伏。我想小朋友主演的前半段是這部電影在西方國家受歡迎最主要的部份。
整個故事開始於印度最大的商業城市『孟買』,一開場我還以為他被綁票,後來才知道原來是警察拷問他參加益智問答節目『W3B』的一些問題,為什麼呢?因為主持人賭爛他搶了自己在電視上的風采,擺了他一道,所以才會因為被懷疑作弊而被警方逮捕,爾後你就會了解Jamal為什麼會知道這些問題的答案,還有他上節目的真正動機。注意主持人和Jamal的互動,就會感受到所謂的階級鬥爭。
我很喜歡那二個飾演Jamal、Salim的小朋友,他們很可愛也演的很好,當然故事既寫實也穿插了一些殘忍。Slumdog 介紹了一些印度的文化,在他們做導遊的那個場景,不要以為這是編來的,三年前我去柬埔寨自助旅行,柬埔寨的小朋友就像片中的小朋友一樣,為生存什麼都會一些。街上撿垃圾,在黃黃髒髒的大河上玩耍,但那是他們的樂園,其實他們不奇怪,是我們才奇怪。
如果想看外語片的,可以考慮Slumdog Millionaire。
