我的《色，戒》
终于看了《色，戒》的完整版。很抱歉不是在戏院里。
由于对故事不太熟悉，费了不少力气企图弄明白王佳芝与易先生眼神里的讯息且因为不了解中国三十年代期有关汉奸的历史，少了很多共鸣。
说起故事的重点，中国人的含蓄与表面的压抑全然地表露无疑，而关起房门干那件事的激情奔放显示了男女主角间多么饥渴的情感。这是部很难得以性来表达爱的亚洲电影。也许是故事的背景给了很好的发挥空间，战乱时代的上海让角色的情感能完全发挥。 若是发生在这个年代，角色的情感绝对不可能这么激烈。
至于七分钟的性爱画面，老实说没太大的震撼与赞许。
看这出戏的感想停留在邝裕民大学生们那种爱国的情操，竟可以手牵手唱着爱国的歌并渴望呼吸祖国自由的空气。这个画面令我不禁起鸡皮疙瘩，也感叹部份本土时下年轻人手牵手唱着无知的歌并渴望呼吸糜烂的空气。
看了《色，戒》唯一爱上的是穿着漂亮旗袍的王佳芝与陈冲讲得好好听(虽然听不懂)的上海话。
此外，王力宏在其音乐的部分印象太强了。还是安分守己吧。
挺喜欢这个影评。Via Li Xuan.

Re: Facebook social network graph.
Awesome graphs generator!
This radial graph showing how my friends are connected to each other in Facebook.
Awesome placement of names and the commonality is 'music'.
Spring graph shown that my friends are seperated into 3 main niche while others floating around. Cool eh~

The fifty-nine-words.
"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but every word tell."

Circle mag.
As a moderate internet user (email, blogging, googling, youTube, Facebook, reading etc), I've find myself spending more and more time reading online and offline on computer screen because of my job which intensively utilizes computer as working tool. (Yet to explore online shopping as I am in great potential to become slave for credit card debt.)
Although many print magazines have gone online or the bombastic circulation of E-newsletters or even various impressive reading materials posted on websites, still it's rare for me to read a magazine without holding it and flip. I still admire the printed ones. (I'm referring to magazine, although I do read a lot of junks online.)
I've gone through a 'magazine', Circle on screen recently through the power of word-of-mouth. (Thanks, Delex.) It was a pleasure to 'flip' through the 'magazine' although the whole concept was not new to me but I still find it easy and comfortable to read in that way.
It took awhile to download the e-magazine and its the 2nd issue. You might think what's the difference from flipping a printed one but to look on the bright side, we could USE LESS PAPER. Good usage of music like when you flip through music section, songs from particular artists appears. This works for me. It's so much expandable in the future like exploring legal music download, music video previews, utilizes quirky sound effect on different situation, more mobile phone related features or even online singing contest and various stuff to do as internet is full of exhibitionists. (Make it a healthy exhibitionism, okay?)
The weakest part of most local magazine has always been the content. Circle takes teen/young adult readers through music, fashion, movie, horoscope which appears on every generic local Chinese magazine. Nothing really impressive. Perhaps more times had spent on designing the templates and managing the action scripts. (or just because I ain't their target audience.)
Overall the content score no points from me, the fussy-hard-to-please-design junkie.
For the particular artist interview section, could it be more interactive like clicking the question to listen to the answers instead of repeating from Q1 again and again?
It's NOT EASY TO MAKE A MAGAZINE. Moreover a successful one. I still say Bravo! to Circle for its great act pushing local publishing into such media and rooms are reserved for improvements as long as determination and hard works kept in achieving greatness.
Keep it up! 加油！
