"Where is your kid at this moment? At school? Watching T.V. in the living room? Drinking juice in the dining room? Sleeping?..."


When we have lost ourselves in the details of each busy day, a story like this reminds us of  things of greater importance that others have moved on to work on and we... (continue reading... )


是非行? 是飛行? "非行"是"非常行為", 意指行為偏差. 一群身上帶著傷疤, 心理藏著黑暗的過往的少年,騎著一輪車環島一千公里, 得到的不只是別人的肯定, 還有自己對自己的肯定.


收到這 DVD 時, 看到又是一個環島的紀錄片, 本來還想怎麼又是一個環島的故事? & 最近"勇於實現夢想"這個 theme 曝光率也還真高,  但後來看過後才發覺, 人真的需要夢想的動力, 就算....

Photo above: Me and the film director 洪智育 and the hot-looking leading male actor 溫昇豪! My friend & I just happened to be there for this when we watched the film.

This must have been one of the best  films I've watched this year. What touched me was not only the moving plot and what people did back in that period of Taiwan history, but also...

Finally got around to watching the Orz Boys on Thursday and took a journey throughout childhood memories to present days. What's so memorable about the film is the unlimited imaginations that we, as a child, once had. (more about this later) After the film was done, it was a pleasant surprise to see the 2 main younger actors of the film & the producer! We had a Q&A section after some "re-enactment" of a "romantic"(more like comic) monologue scene involving...

8月22日  與夢想交會 

Currently the top selling Taiwanese film in recent years, this film is not a simple success story of one but of many whose fascinating and appealing stories about their insistence on following their dream to make what they believe in happen. Set in the rural town in the southern tip of Taiwan, a young man accidentally discoveres a set of love letters sent to an unknown address fom the end of the Japanese occupation period that was delayed for 60 years. While searching for the missing address, a group of local people from different background had to come together to prepare the opening for a seemingly impossible large outdoor concert that was put on for popular Japanese singer. There's a sense of ...

"The Romance of Youth - A cessation in time, a mysterious love halted for ten years.. ticking once again."


Days seem to move on slowly for Ching, a young girl who repairs watches in her alcoholic father’s antique watch shop. She lives by a train station and watches trains bringing travelers in and out of the small town every day. Yet, she has never gone on a train until she meets a boy who claims to be her secret admirer since high school. The boy is shy and he could only show his affection for her by coming to her watch shop everyday at 3pm with the same broken watch and giving her money bills made into the shape of tiny balloons in return. Fascinated by this secret and mysterious admirer who puts her in the centre of his attention, Ching falls in love. 


One day, after the boy stops showing up at her door, she worriedly rings the boy’s phone number on her high school phone list and is told that the boy she knew by the name has been long dead. The shock takes her by surprise and it leaves her wondering...
