Perfect Stranger

t's a world where you "think" actions have no consequence,where guilt is cloaked by anonymity, where there are no fingerprints.
An invisible universe filled with strangers, interconnected online and disconnected in life.
It will steal your secrets, corrupt your dreams, and co-opt your identity.
Because in this world, where you can be anything you want, any "one" you want, you just might lose sight of who you are.

well...what do you think?

質數的孤獨

HEY~今天我要介紹的是一本書!!!!!

Today! i read a book named "The Solitude of Prime Numbers"(LaSolitudine Dei Numeri Primi)
well...its a strange novel because you can find your own role in it!!!
it's also a lonely novel about one everyone doesn't know him...he is just like a Prime Number...
i like this book!!!!

這是昨天我在facebook打的介紹...
看過我的簡單介紹後換來看看我的中文介紹吧!!!
老實說,這本書被賣到很多國家去~有不少封面
我就貼...作者照片好了!(長得挺帥的!可惜沒比我帥lol)



作者...我覺得很酷!!!!!
Paolo Giordano,27歲,義大利人,現正攻讀粒子物理博士

我最討厭這種文科理科雙全的人了!因為他們太...厲害了!
上天也太不公平了吧!

ok~回到這本書上
這次我沒有要貼簡介...因為書的簡介有看跟沒看幾乎都一樣
對我來說博客來上每本書的簡介都一樣吧!

這本書一開始說了兩章兩個完全沒勾結的故事,一男一女(最後的英文介紹有詳細說明)
兩個故事都發生了改變他們一生的事件,但作者卻在精采處結束了!(結尾?後面就會知道

Alice有個很悲慘的高中生活,她被她的"壞朋友"誤解了...但多虧了這些壞朋友好讓她可以認識到Mattia
然而Mattia是個數學天才!但及自閉且有自虐傾向...而造成這些現象的原因要追朔到他2年級時...

老實說這本書是我在金石堂在一個很不起眼的書櫃上找到的一本很不起眼的書
老實說我並沒有買下他來,我花了兩天窩在金石堂把它看完...
老實說這本書頗悶!應該不是正常人會看的書...(那難道我就不是正常人嗎?)

這本書長話短說就是介紹男主角自閉原因,女主角悲慘家庭,男主角遇見女主角的經過,
男女主角的分離,再見面.........結束!!!
其實只有這樣,但讓我沈溺在裡頭無法自拔
或許我正在期待作者何時會給我答案...等待何時Mattia會和Alice告白
或許我正在期待作者何時會給我答案...Mattia小時候的事件發展最後會如何
或許...我只是在期待作者何時能給我所有答案!!!

對了!我還要介紹這本書的奇特風格
這本書的每段故事都沒有作者具體的答案和結局
會突然斷掉...像是你在這一章看著看著就斷了,甚至我都覺得書是不是有缺頁
(其實第一次看到這本書我就覺得這本書缺頁太嚴重了!結果不是...因為頁碼都是由質數編成的)
但是當你裝做若無其事的看下一章另一個故事的開始,你會發現...上一章的答案就藏在這!
所以我就一直一直一直看下去...花了兩天的下午就看完了!

我個人覺得好看...但不知道其他人的口味了!!!!!

我剛剛找到了一個簡介了...但英文的LOL!
大家應該要多多學讀英文阿!!!!!!!

The Solitude of Prime Numbers

May 17, 2009 by Stefanie

The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano is a quiet book about two damaged people, Alice and Mattia. How they became damaged is the baggage they carry with them that affects everything they do.

Alice lived in the Italian Alps as a child. Her father decided she was going to be a great skier and forced her, everyday, to take lessons from the time she was small. Alice does not like skiing, is not particularly good at it and doesn’t want to be. In fact she is so anxious and upset by the whole thing that she regularly wets herself while out on the slopes. One day her father sends her out to her lesson in the fog and a temperature of ten below. Alice immediately has to urinate and soon she feels her bowels wanting to let go too. But she can’t do it in front of her instructor or fellow students.

After one long chair lift up the mountain with the prospect of another lift further up, Alice can no longer bear it. She skis off a little way into the fog. Instructor and classmates have no idea where she has gone off to and assume she is already on the next lift so leave without her. In the quiet fog Alice starts to struggle to get her ski pants down but fails to do so before her bowels let go. She can’t go back to class like that so she decides to ski down the mountain and go home. The fog is so thick, however, she can’t see where she is going. She strays off course onto a closed part of the slope, goes over a precipice and finds herself at the bottom of it with a broken leg. She is unable to get up and no one is around to hear her call out and she fully expects she will freeze to death.

Mattia and Michela are twins. But where Mattia borders on genius, Michela is severely developmentally disabled. Michela is put in the same class at school as Mattia. Mattia is forced by both his parents and his teachers to always look out for Michela because none of them know what to do with her. Mattia never gets to do anything alone and never has the chance to make friends because of Michela. And then a classmate invites Michela and Mattia to his birthday party.

Mattia’s mother is overjoyed, relieved that maybe Mattia really does have friends against all evidence to the contrary. Mattia does not want to go to the party but his mother insists. Mattia dares to ask if he can go without Michela and his mother is horrified. Micheal must go too.

The afternoon of the party Mattia and Michela set off to walk the few blocks to the classmate’s house. When they pass by the park by the river, Mattia gets an idea. He takes Michela to the table where the family has gone for picnics before and tells her to stay there and not move. He’s not even sure that she understands, but he convinces himself that she does and he will only be gone for half an hour and everything will be ok. Mattia is gone for several hours, forgetting his sister in his first chance to have fun. When he remembers her it is full dark. He rushes out of the party and to the park. Michela is not there. He searches for her to no avail.

He ends up standing at the riverbank, knowing she has fallen in. In his despair, he sits down on the bank where his hand finds a piece of broken glass. He then proceeds to stab his hands with the shard.

Alice and Mattia meet in high school. Both are outcasts. Alice is considered lame, the leg she broke in the accident doesn’t work right and she has a funny, swinging gate. She has also become anorexic. Mattia studies all the time and is very good at math. He is painfully shy and takes out his anger and aggression on himself by cutting. The two are quite the pair and form a friendship in which neither questions the other and so they feel safe because they do not need to make up lies or evasive answers.

Alice and Mattia are like the prime numbers that so fascinate Mattia:

Prime numbers are divisible only by 1 and by themselves. They stand in their place in the infinite series of natural numbers, squashed in between two others, like all other numbers, but a step further on than the rest. They are suspicious and solitary, which is why Mattia thought they were wonderful. Sometimes he thought that they had ended up in that sequence by mistake, that they’d been trapped like pearls strung on a necklace. At other times he suspected that they too would rather have been like all the others, just ordinary numbers, but for some reason they weren’t capable of it.

It is his work with prime numbers at university that leads to a job offer from an English University. He leaves Alice in Italy where she becomes a photographer, taking pictures at weddings and other events. But neither Mattia and Alice can forget about the other or rescue themselves from their respective mental illnesses.

The end of the book could have been tragic or it could have been a forced happily ever after. It is neither. The end is fitting and offers a twinkle of possible redemption. I was relieved to finish the book, not because it was bad, it is a very good book, but because Mattia and Alice are two difficult characters the reader can neither love nor hate. And just as they keep others from them, they don’t let the reader get close to them either. They made me tired but I couldn’t give up on them.

The Solitude of Prime Numbers is a bestseller in Italy, I hope it does well in English translation. The book is Giordano’s first. I hope he doesn’t become too busy in his work as a physicist to write more. It will definitely be interesting to see how he develops as a writer.


把故事的開始介紹的很清楚~!!!!!







好!!!!今天的胡言亂語結束!!!!!!

(明天要補考了~保佑我吧!

Bride War

今天要介紹的就是...

Bride War 新娘大作戰



現貼個簡介吧...

麗芙(凱特哈德森 飾) 與艾瑪(安海瑟威飾),兩人是最好的姊妹淘! 兩個人從小最大的夢想就是擁有一場夢幻的世紀婚禮,並作對方最好的伴娘! 她們開心的一起策劃彼此的婚禮,並相約一定要在全紐約最高級的廣場大飯店(the Plaza Hotek)舉辦婚禮。沒想到飯店的一個小出槌,兩人婚期竟然”撞”在一起,兩人之中勢必要有一人要為對方犧牲! 不料,這對信誓旦旦姊妹情誼勝過一切的好朋友,為了搶得唯一的夢幻婚禮場地,姊妹翻臉,變成最知己彼己的敵人,兩人爆笑纏鬥的結果,誰會是最後的世紀婚禮 大贏家呢?


ok~我先要收回我之前對這部片子的評論!!!
我說"這部很無聊,我都看到睡著!!!"

我記得我第一次看這部電影是在凌晨2點多看的~
所以抱歉...我看到睡著了!!!
但為什麼我還會再翻回來看一次呢?
因為上次在翻 PEOPLE 中有一個人的簡介說到...
他看Bride War看到哭...是某位好萊塢男明星的簡介!讓我印象很深刻~
所以我今天又把它翻回來看了!

真的~太棒了!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
這部電影並不無聊!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
故事是說兩個小女孩自從小時候就幻想要在六月要在Plaza Hotel結婚
可是因為一點意外~使得兩人的婚禮要變成同一天

這部電影我覺得還挺好笑的!!!
像Liv和Emma兩人互相作弄對方的橋段都挺有趣的!!!
但會看到哭...可能要到後面那一段了
這部電影的結構就是
兩人非常要好->決裂->復和
在他們要結婚前Liv和Emma都突然感到身邊最好朋友的重要性
Liv因為自己的事業和結婚的準備工作讓她在重要會議時崩潰
Emma和她的未婚夫快結婚了卻大鬧不和
她們都懷念起自己身邊最要好的好朋友......

結果~在結婚當天
因為Liv之前把Emma結婚當天要播的影片掉包了!
Liv突然想起要他的助理趕快換回來~但他助理並沒有這麼做
結果呢~Emma的婚禮搞砸了!Emma很不甘願的跑去大鬧Liv的婚禮
然後~~~(保密啦)~~~她們就和好了!
最後...和Emma結婚的人是Liv的哥哥...



看完這部片子...我真得覺得我為什麼沒有像他們這麼要好的好朋友
好朋友真的很重要..........
因為好朋友就是當你孤單當你難過當你快樂當你喜悅時最好的分享者
互相分享著喜悅
互相咒罵著那個甩掉你的男(女)朋友
互相陪伴對方...........
人一生應該都在尋找那個自己人生中的好朋友!!!!


hey~今天就胡言亂語到這啦!!!




Jersey Girl

這波親情電影潮中我要再介紹另一部是...


Jersey Girl 紐澤西愛未眠(翻的就...還ok)



貼個簡介!!!!

音樂界的公關高手歐立(班艾佛列克飾演)任職於紐約曼哈頓,他舌燦蓮花、口才一級棒,是個超級工作狂,事業如日中天,生命完美無缺,似乎擁有了一切。歐立 在公司舉辦的聖誕節派對上,巧遇聰明性感的出版社編輯葛楚(珍妮佛蘿培茲 飾演),兩人一見鍾情、閃電結婚,看似幸福無比。

孰料就在寶貝女兒誕生之際,葛楚因為難產過世,讓產房外守候的歐立痛不欲生。這場悲劇,讓歐立突然變成了單親爸爸。他情緒崩潰、驚慌失措,難以勝任這個新的角色,他失去了幸運之神的眷顧,最後也丟掉了工作。

萬念俱灰的歐利,迫於無奈,只好搬回故鄉紐澤西州的郊區,和老爸爸同住。在這個雞不拉屎、鳥不生蛋、烏龜不靠岸的鄉下地方,歐利找到了一個普通無聊的工作。他深愛著女兒葛娣(蕾可卡絲楚 飾演),因為她的容貌神似亡妻。葛娣超喜歡鄉村生活,認為紐澤西就是天堂!

歐利帶女兒去租錄影帶時,邂逅了在那裡工作的瑪雅(麗芙泰勒飾演),這位妙齡女郎聰明風趣、纖細感性,充滿了女人味。她和歐立的對話,讓歐立重新思考生命 的優先順序,挑戰了他既有的價值觀和人生規劃。歐立開始了解,有時他必須放下昨日的自我,誠實面對今天的自己,才能活得自在開心。在女兒的幫助鼓勵下,歐 立開啟塵封的心扉,再次相信愛情,浪漫動人的戀情於是上演。


HA~幾乎把全部的內容都寫出來了!!!
這部電影雖然歸類到喜劇片,,,但我覺得應該是劇情片什麼的
因為搞笑成分幾乎是零阿!!!!!!!
但夠感人~
這一開始拍的很像PS,I Love You...
要拍一對夫妻感情很好就是要拍他們吵架的時候!!!!
明明兩人就吵來吵去,但他們卻很相愛...

好!拉回來~電影中的主角不是那對夫妻中的女人...
但那個女人卻貫穿了這部戲!故事就是要從Gertie難產死亡開始...
Ollie就是個發瘋似的工作狂,完全無心照顧自己的女兒
直到他丟了他的工作後...一切都改變了!!!

Ollie和小Gertie在臥房說的那段話超感人的...

You're the only thing I was ever good at.

當然!這部戲種不能只有一個小小的女孩來當女主角
所以到也插了一個DVD出租店的店員...
其實我不太喜歡那個店員如此的開放...= =

當然根據我的親情公式...
這部一定也要有一個轉折點好讓這場戲有結局!!!
這部戲其實也不斷在鋪陳轉折點...在很多地方埋下伏筆
像Ollie上台說服市民~他不斷的找跟以前相關的工作...
結果當然就是他重要的面試和她女兒的親子表演都是在同一天!!!
呵~這個情況在"Imagine That"裡也用過(這也是部好片~改天再介紹吧)...XD
故事總要有個結果吧!!!
根據公式說"爸爸一定要突然跑回去參加女兒的演出!"
廢話~最後Ollie並沒有參加那個面試~而跑回去參加女兒的演出



老實說!這部電影真的很感人!!!
比剛剛介紹的Old Dogs感人多了!!!



阿!我忘了中間還有一段...
當Ollie接到說他的朋友幫他安排了面試(就是和女兒同一天的那個)
Ollie很高興跟他女兒說...可是小Gertie並不想搬到紐約
所以Ollie和小Gertie就吵了起來!!!
這個橋段結束在Ollie的一句話

I hate you right back you little shit! You and your mom took my life away from me. I just want it back!

太...傷小孩的心了吧!
這句出來種有一種...不知怎說的感覺!
小Gertie聽到後楞了一會就跑進房間了
而Ollie也知道自己竟然對自己的女兒說出這種話來而後悔所以想要挽回
但...並沒有辦法挽回!
這段應該是這齣戲的高潮點~我喜歡!!!

ALL RIGHT~這就是今天介紹的另一部親情電影"Jersey Girl"
這部我就要大推啦!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
他已經擠進我心中排行榜第二名了!(第一名當然是我最愛的PS,I Love You...


今日胡言亂語~結束!!!!!!!

Old Dogs

HEY~經過一段"無電影時期"後我又重新復活了!!!!
今天一考完就和幾個朋友殺去看電影啦!!!
今天要介紹的電影有兩部...很剛好的這兩部都是親情電影
首先來介紹這不上映中的片...


Old Dogs
歐吉桑卡好
(老實說...當我提到這部片子時我都不知道該念台語還是國語...)





老實說,這部片子還不錯!(我真的很少評很爛的片子,但也沒有很好的!= =a
這部片子是說...

《歐吉桑卡好》講述羅賓威廉斯與約翰屈伏塔兩位年過半百的男士是從小到大的麻吉好友兼事業夥伴,正處於事業上最關鍵的時刻,不料,羅賓威廉斯七年前一夜情 的對象居然出現並且告知他當年他倆的一夜春宵製造了一男一女的雙胞胎!更誇張的是,羅賓威廉斯得盡父親的責任負責照顧兩位七歲兩個星期的時間。於是從來不 懂何謂「家庭溫暖」的兩位「黃金單身歐吉桑」被兩個七歲的小惡魔竭盡所能的惡整到幾乎無法負荷的地步。而飾演羅賓威廉斯一夜情的對象正是現實生活中約翰屈 伏大的太座─凱莉普莉斯頓,而雙胞胎其中的女兒也正是約翰屈伏塔現實生活中寶貝女兒─艾拉布魯屈伏塔。


好~貼現成的方便多了!XD
那我來解剖解剖這部電影吧...

這部電影走的路線就是搞笑在加上親情...其實電影中的搞笑成分很高但對我來說那些笑點都頗低
我可能就是小小的笑一下!但是其他人竟然可以笑到不成人樣...真的很佩服他們!!!
我解讀這些笑到不成人樣的人...他們生活一定非常"豐富"~因為他們笑點真的很低= =
好!這不是重點...回到電影上來吧!我個人最好笑的部份可能就是他們去露營的那一段...有讓我笑出來XD
但我還是比較喜歡Sandra Bullock在The Proposal裡的熱舞吧!我看了好幾遍都會大笑...


OK~在來看看這部片子的親情的部份吧!!!
故事主要是建立在爸爸要怎和小孩相處...
我最不能忍受這種電影了...因為這種電影一定很感人= =
我挺喜歡Robin Williams和他女兒在國王遊戲中的的對話
什麼FEAR的什麼KINGDOM什麼PROTECT的...明明單字都很簡單
但卻很感人...............I like it!!!!!!!!



這部電影親情營造的超...公式化的(我覺得啦!
或許大家都知道愛情電影的公式
而親情電影的公式就是這樣~
首先是疏離
--->逐漸接觸
--->關係友好
--->在加上一定有的分離禍什麼轉折的
--->最後會結束在因為太愛他們所以跑回去

這不也是如此,Robin Williams到日本談生意時,因為按到他和他小孩的影片
然後就不談生意了跑回美國去了...享受天倫之樂....
這公式還有很多電影可以套呢!改天再分享分享吧!!= =

雖然是照公式...但我還是很喜歡!!!
因為好看阿!!!!!!!!
我從不會覺得公式電影很無趣...雖然你知道結果是啥
但是你並不知道到底到哪裡是轉折點!!!
所以我還是不會抗拒這種公式電影︿ ︿
這部電影,,,如果你笑點沒有很高的話可以推薦!!!





好!!!!!!!!!
我的胡言亂語暫時結束!!!!!!!
