10/31/2005 逝去的时光北海,故宫,中南海,筒子河,天安门,太庙,中山公园,长安街,无数深宅大院外加几个神秘庙宇
而环抱在这其中的就是我曾度过六年美好时光的小小的美丽校园。
这些不分季节被游客踏烂的旅游圣地之于我,还有和我一样从母校毕业的同学们,却又有着不同的意义。
小弟弟小妹妹们,厚厚,在站岗~同志们辛苦啦!
操场被禁止踢球的原因是与中南海只有一墙之隔,虽然我们从不知那高墙背后到底是怎样一番情景,但无数次违反校规将皮球踢过边界也未曾被什么警察叔叔抓走。
中午放学,我们到后河龌龊吧,哈哈~这是大家最习惯的约会方式,宁可不吃饭饿肚子也要到护城河边故宫脚下晒晒太阳才能心满意足。
龌龊之地~呷呷~
喂,你不要美啦,拐过弯就该跑800咯~
午门前的广场,和女生们800米绕的柱子
门钉肉饼,喀喀~
西华门外小房子上的脊兽,这房子据说曾是太监住的,据说我们曾经画过它,,,
冬日里的长跑,还是筒子河,女生800米,我们绕中山公园门口的柱子。男生1000米(大概啊,不太清楚的说)却要幸运的多,他们会穿越午门的广场去和太庙那边的柱子亲密接触。
2400呢,那就要继续向前,穿过端门,天安门,金水桥,一段长安街,南长街里老师会在最后的终点中山公园门口大声报出每人的时间。
当然,我们也曾半路跳上5路公共汽车,下车后再伪装成刚刚跑到的人一样,大口大口的喘气,我们也曾半路冲到中山公园去看郁金香展览,虽然银子不够可好心的售票员居然将我们放行,现在回想起来真是不可思议。也曾经,我蹲在午门前死赖着不肯离去,总在好奇到底深墙背后藏着什么奇妙的故事,直到快下课了,才被伙伴慌忙拉走,,,
护城河~
特工经典重现,好难哦~很容易把自己现上去!
北长街入口
团城下的北海大桥
角楼下卖糖葫芦的大叔
南北长街,每天放学最快乐的一段路程,真希望这是一条永不会走到尽头的林荫大道。
我们会犯傻跑到北海公园买肯德基,原因是没吃过公园里的那家店。
我们会跑到中山公园还有午门前,夕阳下,挥尽一天里最后汗水,理由是被管理员盯梢下踢球更刺激。
我们也会在公园的小湖里泛舟荡漾,在结冰的河里淋漓奔驰
栏杆里的小白塔
还有,更多的时候,我们选择了公园里的亭子温习功课,我们会傻傻的央求管理员为我们开启许久无人问津的游艺,在碰碰车场地里恋恋不舍迟迟不肯离去,而故意忽视她鄙视不满的目光
曾经,我们是那么的快乐,,, Taipei有晚九朝五,HongKong有六楼后座,Beijing涅,Beijing有什么?台北晚9朝5(Twenty Something Taipei)

黄真真是一个擅长发现的导演,她总是在有意无意间发现这个社会最为敏感的话题,《女人那话儿》成为当年最热的话题之一,如今她又找到一个青春的话题,一时又勾起了很多人青春的回忆。《六楼后座》里一群年轻人聚集在一起玩乐的故事,也许黄真真真的曾经有过类似的经历,否则要想找到这样一个令大多数人怀旧思绪万千的话题真的不太容易。不过在《六楼后座》的幕后,有人比她对这样的故事有着更深刻难忘的经历。最为直接的是该片的编剧之一张帆,现在还有这样一个地方提供给朋友聚会,而且就在某唐楼的六楼后座。这也正是本片的名为什么会是“六楼后座”的原因。
黄真真在张帆的六楼后座里找到了故事的灵感,她把这个故事向黄岳泰监制推销,没想到却又遇到了有着切身体验的知己人。据黄岳泰自己说,他当年就曾花尽所有积蓄买了一间屋,然后经常有一群朋友在此聚会。虽然没有什么家私,但一班喝酒聊天照样十分开心。有这般经历垫底,其实哪里还需要黄真真推销,恐怕当时的黄岳泰只恨自己早该想到这个题材。如此,这个拍片计划想必是不“拍”即合。有一群有着相关经历的人来做这样一件集体回忆的事,其投入程度可想而知。 青春是什么?
青春犹如方糖,对吧? Hallelujah
Well I heard there was a secret chord jeff buckley Born in California's Orange County on November 17, 1966, Jeff Buckley emerged in New York City's avant-garde club scene in the 1990's as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation. His first commercial recording, the four-song EP Live At Sin-e, was released in December 1993 on Columbia Records in the United States and Big Cat Records in the United Kingdom and Europe. The EP captured Buckley, accompanying himself on electric guitar, in a tiny club in New York's East Village, the neighborhood he'd made his home; the record's selections included two cover tunes laced with soaring vocal improvisation: Edith Piaf's "Je N'en Connais Pas Le Fin," Van Morrison's "The Way Young Lovers Do" and two original songs showcasing his songwriting abilities: "Mojo Pin" and "Eternal Life." Buckley began to tour North America, the United Kingdom, France, and Holland as a solo acoustic/electric artist in support of the Live At Sin-e release. During the fall of 1993, prior to the release of Live At Sin-e, Buckley entered the studio with his band, Mick Grondahl (bass) and Matt Johnson (guitar), and producer Andy Wallace to begin recording the seven original songs ("Mojo Pin," "Grace," "Last Goodbye," "So Real," "Lover, You Should Have Come Over," "Eternal Life," "Dream Brother") and three covers ("Lilac Wine," Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Benjamin Britten's "Corpus Christi Carol") that comprise his debut album Grace. Guitarist Michael Tighe, who cowrote and performed on Grace's "So Real," joined Buckley's ensemble shortly thereafter as a permanent member. In 1994, Jeff Buckley toured clubs, lounges, and coffeehouses in North America as a solo artist from January 15-March 5 as well as Europe from March 11-22; his "Peyote Radio Theatre Tour" of that year found him on the road with his band and lasted from June 2-August 16. His full-length full-band album, Grace was released in the United States on August 23, 1994, the same day Buckley and band kicked off a European tour in Dublin, Ireland; the 1994 European Tour ran through September 22, with Buckley and Ensemble performing at the CMJ convention at New York's Supper Club on September 24. The group headed back into America's clublands for a Fall Tour lasting from October 19-December 18. On New Year's Eve 1994-95, Buckley returned to Sin-e to perform a solo concert; on New Year's Day, he read an original poem at the annual St. Mark's Church Marathon Poetry Reading. Two weeks later, he and his band were back in the United Kingdom for gigs in Dublin, Bristol, and London before launching an extensive tour of Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Holland, Belgium, and the United Kingdom which lasted from January 29-March 5. On April 13 1995, it was announced that Jeff Buckley's Grace had earned him France's prestigious "Gran Prix International Du Disque -- Academie Charles CROS -- 1995"; an award given by a jury of producers, journalists, the president of France Culture, and music industry professionals, it had previously been given to Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Yves Montand, Georges Brassens, Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Joni Mitchell, among other musical luminaries. France also awarded Buckley a gold record certification for Grace. Buckley and band's Spring Tour 1995 found them back in the U.S.A. with gigs running from April 20-June 2. The band took off for Down Under to play six Australian shows between August 28-September 6, 1995. In November 1995, Buckley played two unannounced solo shows at Sin-e and celebrated New Year's Eve 1995-96 with a performance at New York's Mercury Lounge. Jeff Buckley and his touring ensemble went back to Australia, where Grace had earned a gold record certification, for the "Hard Luck Tour," which ran from February 9-March 1 of 1996. Drummer Matt Johnson left the group after the final Australian show. In May of '96, Jeff played four gigs as a bass player with Mind Science of the Mind, a side-project of Buckley's friend, Nathan Larson of Shudder To Think. In September '96, Buckley played another unannounced solo gig at his old favorite haunt Sin-e. December of 1996 found Jeff Buckley embarking on his "phantom solo tour," a series of unannounced solo gigs played under a succession of aliases: the Crackrobats, Possessed By Elves, Father Demo, Smackrobiotic, Crit Club, Topless America, Martha & the Nicotines, A Puppet Show Named Julio. On February 9, 1997, Jeff Buckley debuted his new drummer, Parker Kindred, in a show at Arlene's Grocery on New York's Lower East Side. He also played a couple of solo gigs in New York during the first months of 1997: a gig at the Daydream Cafe (featuring band members Mick Grondahl and Michael Tighe as "special guests") and a solo performance February 4 as part of the Knitting Factory's 10-Year Birthday Party. Buckley and his current band line-up went to Memphis, Tennessee, in February 1997 to begin rehearsing in preparation for the recording, scheduled to commence June 30, of the eagerly-awaited follow-up to Grace. The new lineup debuted Buckley's new songs at Barrister's in Memphis on February 12 and 13. Beginning March 31, Jeff began a series of regularly scheduled Monday night solo performances at Barrister's. His last show there was on Monday, May 26, 1997. In addition to his Columbia Records releases, Live At Sin-e and Grace, Jeff Buckley has appeared as a guest artist on several other recordings. He can be heard singing "Jolly Street," a track on the Jazz Passengers 1994 album In Love. He contributed tenor vocals to "Taipan" and "D. Popylepis," two recordings on John Zorn's Cobra Live At The Knitting Factory (1995). On Rebecca Moore's Admiral Charcoal's Song, Buckley plays electric six-string bass on "If You Please Me," "Outdoor Elevator," and "Needle Men" (on which he also plays drums). He both plays guitar and sings backup vocals on Brenda Kahn's "Faith Salons," a key track on her Destination Anywhere album (released 1996). Patti Smith's critically acclaimed Gone Again album features Buckley adding "voice" to the song "Beneath the Southern Cross" and "essrage" (a small fretless Indian stringed instrument) to "Fireflies." On kicks joy darkness, a various artists' spoken word tribute to beat poet Jack Kerouac, Jeff Buckley collaborated with erstwhile Nymphs' vocalist Inger Lorre on "Angel Mine"; Jeff plays guitar, sitar, and mouth sax (adding words at the poem's conclusion) on the track. An ardent enthusiast for a myriad of musical forms, Jeff Buckley was an early champion among young American musicians for the work of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the world's foremost Qawwali (the music of the Sufis) singer. Buckley conducted an extensive interview with Nusrat in Interview magazine (January 1996) and wrote the liner notes for the singer's upcoming The Supreme Collection album to be released on Mercator/Caroline Records in August 1997.

10/29/2005 MagnumHistory of Magnum"Capa said to me: 'Don't keep the label of a surrealist photographer. Be a photojournalist. If not you will fall into mannerism. Keep surrealism in your little heart, my dear. Don't fidget. Get moving!' This advice enlarged my field of vision." - Henri Cartier-Bresson Two years after the apocalypse that was called the Second World War ended Magnum Photos was founded. The world's most prestigious photographic agency was formed by four photographers - Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, and David "Chim" Seymour - who had been very much scarred by that conflict and were motivated both by a sense of relief that the world had somehow survived and the curiosity to see what was still there. They created Magnum in 1947 to reflect their independent natures as people and photographers, the idiosyncratic mix of reporter and artist that continues to define Magnum, emphasizing not only what is seen but also the way one sees it. "Back in France, I was completely lost," legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson explained in an interview with Hervé Guibert in Le Monde. "At the time of the liberation, the world having been disconnected, people had a new curiosity. I had a little bit of money from my family, which allowed me to avoid working in a bank. I had been engaged in looking for the photo for itself, a little like one does with a poem. With Magnum was born the necessity for telling a story. Capa said to me: 'Don't keep the label of a surrealist photographer. Be a photojournalist. If not you will fall into mannerism. Keep surrealism in your little heart, my dear. Don't fidget. Get moving!' This advice enlarged my field of vision." Englishman George Rodger, another of Magnum's founding photographers, recalled how his colleague Robert Capa, the agency's dynamic leader, envisioned the photographers' role after World War II, which itself had been preceded by the invention of smaller, portable cameras and more light-sensitive film: "He recognized the unique quality of miniature cameras, so quick and so quiet to use, and also the unique qualities that we ourselves had acquired during several years of contact with all the emotional excesses that go hand in hand with war. He saw a future for us in this combination of mini cameras and maxi minds. There had been both emotional and physical excesses. Rodger, noted for his pictures of the Blitz and the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, had had to walk "three hundred miles through the bamboo forest and what seemed like a thousand mountain ranges" to escape the Japanese in Burma. He would give up war photography forever after finding himself "getting the dead into nice photographic compositions" upon entering the concentration camp. Cartier-Bresson spent much of the war as a German prisoner and, after escaping on his third try, in the French Resistance. Polish-born David Seymour (known as "Chim"), who received a medal for his work in American intelligence, had lost his parents to the Nazis (his father was a publisher of Hebrew and Yiddish books). And Hungarian Capa, whose name was synonymous with war photography since the Spanish Civil War, made the blurred, visceral photographs of the D-Day invasion that became its symbols. Tragically, two of the four founders - Capa and Chim - would die within a decade while covering other wars. These four formed Magnum to allow them and the fine photographers who would follow the ability to work outside the formulas of magazine journalism. The agency, initially based in Paris and New York and more recently adding offices in London and Tokyo, departed from conventional practice in two fairly radical ways. It was founded as a cooperative in which the staff, including co-founders Maria Eisner and Rita Vandivert, would support rather than direct the photographers and copyright would be held by the authors of the imagery, not by the magazines that published the work. This meant that a photographer could decide to cover a famine somewhere, publish the pictures in Life magazine, and the agency could then sell the photographs to magazines in other countries, such as Paris Match and Picture Post, giving the photographers the means to work on projects that particularly inspired them even without an assignment. In those days a photographer had a significant advantage: large areas of the world had hardly ever seen a photographer. They could choose to go almost anywhere they wanted, as Rodger pointed out, because in the early days one could "take pictures of just about anything and magazines were clamoring for it; the mistake was in thinking that it would continue." Still, four decades later, at the age of 75, Rodger was averaging one sale a month of photographs he had taken in Africa in the late 1940s during a self-initiated post-war trip that he had undertaken "to get away where the world was clean." Magnum's first move was to divide the world rather loosely into flexible areas of coverage, with Chim in Europe, Cartier-Bresson in India and the Far East, Rodger in Africa, and Capa at large and replacing Bill Vandivert (an American who had helped found Magnum but soon dropped out) in the USA. And they had some early scoops, such as Robert Capa's first uncensored look behind the Iron Curtain at the Soviet Union with the writer John Steinbeck, originally published in the Ladies Home Journal (for which Capa, according to John Morris, the Journal's picture editor and later Magnum's executive editor, was paid $20,000 to Steinbeck's $3,000), and Cartier-Bresson's landmark coverage of India at the time of Gandhi's assassination. It was important for Magnum's photographers to have this flexibility to choose many of their own stories and to work for long periods of time on them. None of them wanted to suffer the dictates of a single publication and its editorial staff. They believed that photographers had to have a point of view in their imagery that transcended any formulaic recording of contemporary events. “We often photograph events that are called 'news,' " Cartier-Bresson told Byron Dobell of Popular Photography magazine in 1957, "but some tell the news step by step in detail as if making an accountant's statement. Such news and magazine photographers, unfortunately, approach an event in a most pedestrian way. It's like reading the details of the Battle of Waterloo by some historian: so many guns were there, so many men were wounded - you read the account as if it were an itemization. But on the other hand, if you read Stendhal's Charterhouse of Parma, you're inside the battle and you live the small, significant details... Life isn't made of stories that you cut into slices like an apple pie. There's no standard way of approaching a story. We have to evoke a situation, a truth. This is the poetry of life's reality." David "Chim" Seymour and George RodgerChim, with whom Cartier-Bresson felt the most empathy as an artist, had yet another style, one that was gentler. Chim had largely given up photography during the war but soon after began working for UNESCO on a two-year project depicting the impact of the war on children in Europe, particularly those who had been injured or orphaned. One of his most distressing photographs shows a young girl who, having been asked to draw her home, stands mutely in front of an inchoate scribble. Cultured and modest, a lover of fine wines and good food ("Chim avoided ostentation as if it were the Automat," wrote Horace Sutton in the Saturday Review), Chim made pictures that radiate a quiet sensitivity, an awareness of the pain of suffering and an understated appreciation of others' humanity, almost as if he were attempting to restore a more distinguished order to a senseless world. "Chim picked up his camera the way a doctor takes his stethoscope out of his bag," wrote Cartier-Bresson, "applying his diagnosis to the condition of the heart; his own was vulnerable." George Rodger would go on to distinguish himself in those early years with photographs and text that depicted Africans living in the dignity and isolation of their own tribes, practicing communal rituals and relating to the camera with the lack of pretense that is now difficult to find in today's highly mediated world. His two-year, 29,000 mile trip by car and jeep was taken in large part as a reaction to the horrors that he had witnessed during World War II and served as an attempt to find those who attach a greater value to life. His photographs, direct and modest, distinguish themselves as both sensitively seen and respectfully rendered. The deaths within Magnum's first decade of two of the agency's founders, Capa and Chim, and their gifted colleague Werner Bischof, threw the agency into turmoil. Some feel that Magnum's survival at that point was due in large part to a desire by its remaining members not to let the deaths of their colleagues be in vain. Werner Bischof and Ernst HaasSwiss-born Werner Bischof and the Austrian photographer Ernst Haas were the first new Magnum members after the founders. Each had growing problems with the role of the reporter. Bischof complained of his frustration with the magazines, contrasting the tragedies around him, such as the famine in India that he covered, with the short attention span of the media. "I am powerless against the great magazines - I am an artist, and I will always be that," Bischof wrote. Haas, after working for a short time reporting the devastation of post-war Europe, turned to color and motion. His specialty was luminous, abstract, semi-liquid color imagery of otherwise banal details - shop windows, sidewalks, litter, reflections. "I am not interested in shooting new things," Haas wrote in 1960. "I am interested to see things new. In this way I am a photographer with the problems of a painter, the desire is to find the limitations of a camera so I can overcome them." 1950s to todayWithin five years of its founding, Magnum had also added to its roster talented young photographers Eve Arnold, Burt Glinn, Erich Hartmann, Erich Lessing, Marc Riboud, Dennis Stock and Kryn Taconis. Riboud soon followed Cartier-Bresson with his own pioneering work in China, the first of many trips in what has become a lifelong interest. Arnold took a memorable series of pictures of the Black Muslims and another of Marilyn Monroe. Taconis covered the Algerian war for independence. Soon others such as RenŽ Burri, Cornell Capa (Robert's younger brother), Elliott Erwitt and Inge Morath would join. The agency was growing. But there was a feeling that it was heading in some wrong directions. In a memorable 1962 memo addressed to "All Photographers" Cartier-Bresson attempted to remind the photographers of their place in the world: “I wish to remind everyone that Magnum was created to allow us, and in fact to oblige us, to bring testimony on our world and contemporaries according to our own abilities and interpretations. I won't go into details here of who, what, when, why and where, but I feel a hard touch of sclerosis descending upon us. It might be from the conditioning of the milieu in which we live but this is no excuse. When events of significance are taking place, when it doesn't involve a great deal of money and when one is nearby one must stay photographically in contact with the realities taking place in front of our lenses and not hesitate to sacrifice material comfort and security. This return to our sources would keep our heads and our lenses above the artificial life, which so often surrounds us. I am shocked to see to what extent so many of us are conditioned - almost exclusively by the desires of the clients...." Many Magnum photographers have succeeded brilliantly at transcending "the artificial life" and exploring life's realities subsequent to Cartier-Bresson's memo, as well as before. Bruce Davidson's East 100th Street is an extraordinary formal meditation on the lives of people living on an impoverished New York City block, and Philip Jones Griffiths's 1971 book, Vietnam Inc., is a brilliantly sardonic, even ferocious, look at the policy of the United States in Vietnam. In the 1970s magazines increased their use of photojournalism and many Magnum members excelled, finding that they had pages and pages of photographs published. But the paradox was that as magazine editors grew both more attached to photographs and more visually sophisticated they also began to use photography in a more decorative, illustrative way. Photographers would be told specifically how to set up a cover shot, lighting and color became the focus, and many of the more serious images did not fit the upscale ambitions of publishers acting to attract a more affluent readership. So while photographers were having success publishing photographs in magazines, such as Susan Meiselas's photographs of the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua, or Gilles Peress's photographs of Northern Ireland and the upheaval in Iran, many Magnum photographers were increasingly turning to books and exhibitions to express themselves. Meiselas's Nicaragua, Peress's Telex: Iran, Salgado's L'Homme en Detresse, were attempts to give a more sophisticated and visionary explication of world events. And as Magnum's photographers began to experiment with text and with book and exhibition design, their photographic language began to evolve as well. For many the direct testimony that Magnum's founders believed in no longer was sufficient in a media-saturated world that increasingly was using photography to illustrate the points of view of editors and art directors, of politicians and movie stars, at the expense of those of the photographers. Raymond Depardon worked on a pioneering effort with the French daily newspaper Liberation to report on New York City by providing a single picture every day for the newspaper's foreign-affairs page with a diary-like text that described the people he met, what he was reading, his very personal feelings; Peress's book, Telex: Iran, included the telexes he received from Magnum's staff as a way of highlighting his quasi-mercenary, foreign role along with photographs that raised questions more than providing authoritative responses as to what was happening. Eugene Richards's books combined the intimate and the public in raw exposes of the suffering of the impoverished, the sick, the addicted; Harry Gruyaert and Alex Webb's work in Morocco and the Caribbean, respectively, reveled more in the self-conscious exoticism of the observer rather than trying to reveal the societies' underpinnings. For today's younger generation of photographers there is much less of a sense that simply reporting on an injustice is sufficient, and there is a much more complex sense as to what is or is not possible to explain. Right now, "if your pictures aren't good enough" you may be too close rather than not close enough, as Capa put it long ago. In today's "information age" if the reader can be enjoined to enter the quest for meaning then one has succeeded. With all of Magnum's prickly personalities, with all the difficulties inherent in attempting to see differently, it is a wonder for many that the agency has managed to survive fifty years. Very few cooperatives are noted for their longevity. Magnum, in its idiosyncrasy, its inability to stand still, has been a remarkable exception. As Cartier-Bresson put it in one of his blistering memos to the other photographers, "Vive la revolution permanente...." © Fred Ritchin 1996.

10/28/2005 Chromophobia![]() What do you do when your wife Iona Aylesbury (Kristin Scott Thomas) can't tell the difference between a shrink and a shop, your eight year old son Orlando may have serious psychological problems, while his gay godfather Stephen (Ralph Fiennes) lies half beaten to death in an hospital? Your boss is drawing you into a scam which could cost you your career, your father Edward Aylesbury expects more of you than you feel you can deliver and your stepmother Penelope's (Harriet Walter) bond with her dogs is your best role model of a loving relationship. And what could the secrets of streetwalker Gloria (Penelope Cruz) that her social worker Colin (Rhys Ifans) is digging up possibly have to do with you? Every family has secrets it hides behind the walls of its home - these are the dilemma and secrets of Marcus Aylesbury (damian Lewis). When Marcus's old "friend" Trent (Ben Chaplin), an intelligent investigative journalist, gets wind of a story that might make him a media star the good old virtues of honesty, loyalty and friendship are sacrified to the new morality of success and celebrity. Pushed by his powerhouse editor, Trent is forced to bend his ideals of using journalism to make a difference - and instead focuses on writing "sexy stories that sell". This darkly comedic drama relentlessly pulls these characters into situations which threaten their stable place in a society where privilege and birth are no longer powerful enough to protect the fortunate few, and where the American values of money, beauty and success have become the cornerstones of contemporary London life. 10/27/2005 life can be so beatiful at this momentafter weeks of hard working,some sleepless nights,suffering painful of my neck,back,waist,,,i finally completed my library design early in the morning

as i suddenly saw the red maple in Fragrant Hill,such a enchanting scenery! i was shocked,and decided to go there after the visit of the hotel in the park,
(ps. the Hotel , design by architect I. M. Pei,who is famous for his incredible project in Paris ---Pyramide du Louvre)
cuz lack of arrangements,the whole visit is a mess!i felt like i'm just a thief when i took the pics, not to mentioned the prohibition manager add to us!
but actually i do not care about all of these as i just finish my work and could never ever think life can be so beautiful at this moment~
so i left with 2 friends and went straight to the red leaves,,,
climbing up a mountain is a little bit difficult to the one who is already tired before the start,
i'm totally exhausted after we came back,
but,it was fabulous,and completely worthy!!!
& may u wanna ask me my feelings?
all that i can say is just WOW WOW WOW,,,
show u guys some pics
then u 'll say the same words as me!

![]() ![]() 张国荣+黄耀明 CROSSOVER当黎耀辉独自驾车穿过密云的天空和寂寞的公路,来到旧台灯指引的南美洲大瀑布时,何宝荣正把自己囚禁在他们痴缠过的小房间里偷偷饮泣,大雨如注般的瀑布在黎耀辉的发梢眉间欢快奔流,洗去所有怨憎会、爱别离,只留下一段春光乍泄的声色光影深锁在斑驳的胶片里成为上世纪的传奇。
少数族类的恋情,总是过度单纯,极致凄美,魅力难以抗拒。 而今天这个故事,从布宜诺斯艾利斯回到香港,从王家卫移到张国荣,梁朝伟换成黄耀明,长镜头变成米高峰,春光依然乍泄蔷薇依然怒放————说的是《Crossover》,张国荣和黄耀明的首度合作,2002年7月的最新唱片。 Crossover,是一道音乐天桥,使迷幻电子通向主流情歌,让最佳另类艺人“明哥”和乐坛天王“哥哥”正面冲撞,在黑夜的海上迸发一刹那的光亮,谁说一刹那,并不代表永恒? 对于两人的合作乐迷们是期待已久。黄耀明说:“我和哥哥都是属于同一类人……我们又好像是风牛马不相及的两种人。”确实如此,这两个极度自恋的人,在音乐上各走各的路,却在生命中最重要的十字路口,不约而同选择左转,这是纳西瑟斯的情结,还是佛洛伊德的巧合? 《Crossover》由五首歌曲和一首MV组成,哥哥和明哥各自翻唱对方一首创作歌曲(《春光乍泄》和《如果你知我苦衷》),然后明哥为哥哥和唱《十号风球》,哥哥为明哥的《这么远那么近》配上独白,最后两人合唱一首《夜有所梦》,就在一唱一和中完成了这张具有历史意义的专辑。 翻过封面上两人合二为一的暧昧连体照,打开乱红纷飞的歌词内页,首先映入眼帘的是编曲栏里李端娴、蔡德才、梁基爵等几个熟悉的名字,人山人海为了《Crossover》已精英尽出,让乐迷对这张唱片更添信心。吉他竟是唱片内除了歌声外最重要的一种声音,仅仅五首歌曲,就请来四位吉他好手。其中最出彩的应该是蔡德才重新编曲的《春光乍泄》,香港资深吉他手Tommy Ho极富拉丁韵味的弹拨,如同探戈女郎唇边轻咬的一朵滴血红玫瑰,在幽蓝昏暗的舞池随着长裙翩翩旋转,挑起满场观众的意乱情迷,成就了一支放肆张扬的探戈舞;而在歌曲2分18秒哥哥用气声吐出的“一样”二字,漫布着颓废的性感,霎时让人回想起何宝荣在阿根廷的放浪与哀伤,正如黄耀明所说,只有当哥哥唱完《春光乍泄》,这首歌才算是真正完美了。 专辑内另外一首重头歌曲就是哥哥作曲并配独白、黄伟文填词、黄耀明主唱的《这么远、那么近》,灵感来自几米的著名漫画《向左走、向右走》,当然,这两位出柜的歌者已经不需要有“向左走”还是“向右走”的疑惑。继《光天化日》后再次听到黄耀明这么大气磅礴的音色,爱得光明磊落却又悲伤暗涌,李端娴出神入化地把南美洲的潮润温热融入英伦电子气息,加上哥哥飘忽不定的磁性感人独白,营造出一种爱之不得的迷离氛围,让所有迷路的灵魂为之迷恋不已,超脱不能。如果说《春光乍泄》是一朵哀怨缠绵的红玫瑰,那么《这么远、那么近》竟已不是凡花之数了。 由黄耀明翻唱的《如果你知我苦衷》是哥哥写给周慧敏的经典歌曲,也是笔者的心头好,“翻唱歌王”黄耀明唱出了林夕笔下的那种无言的心痛。《十号风球》和《夜有所梦》是哥哥和黄耀明都很擅长的招牌式挑逗情歌,适合在所有爱欲扩张的夜晚聆听。 这张专辑唯一的遗憾是歌曲只有五首,远远不能满足歌迷们的欲望,可能初夜从来就是这么美丽而短暂,但已足够铭记一辈子了。 金风玉露一相逢,便胜却人间无数

10/15/2005 Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty HearstIn 1974, a group of unknown terrorists called the Symbionese Liberation Army made headlines by kidnapping newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst. The 19-year-old then shocked the world by joining her captors and calling for “power to the people”. Oh, and the violent overthrow of big business and the Nixon administration.
![]()
For 18 months the stranger-than-fiction story dominated the public imagination as Patty – now reborn as “Tania” – helped the SLA embark on a string of bank robberies and bombings. This documentary delves beyond the headlines to look at what really motivated the terrorists, who – it turns out – weren’t the monsters we all thought, but a group of mostly middle-class idealists fed up with America’s rightward drift. By mixing archive footage of student riots with up-to-date interviews, the result is a vivid look at a country split by Vietnam and riven with racial tension. And Patty’s dramatic switch from rich girl to radical proved just as divisive, with one half of America seeing her as a brainwashed stooge and everyone else idolising her as a hero rebelling against the pigs. But the highlight of Guerrilla is the way it contrasts the fates of the terrorists (either killed or in jail) with Patty, who was freed after 22 months. Justice? Not likely. Today, 31 years on, the most famous kidnapping in history is as fascinating as ever. BEST QUOTE: “I am Tania, and I choose to stay and fight.” Patty announces her new ID to a shocked nation.
Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst is an unprecedented account of the Symbionese Liberation Army, arguably the most notorious and flamboyant domestic terrorist group in American history
