第80屆奧斯卡頒獎禮將會在2月24日舉行，挖掘人性陰暗面的電影成為焦點。主持人齊齊預測得獎名單。Please find our prediction list in the COMMENT session.
今日的社會，已不適合來自舊世界、舊規律的人 … … 在奧斯卡金像獎橫掃8項大獎提名的《2百萬奪命奇案》敘事風格大膽、幕幕懸疑驚心、張力逼人、令人喘不過氣。
I love this frightening, visually stunning, well acted and unconventional film with suspense and symbolism.
It talks about the society which is changing so fast and negatively. People are becoming selfish, greedy, unhelpful, immoral and even evil. It seems that evil is overwhelming justice in the new world and there is NO RULES and justice in the world (What happened to the evil man at the end?). The way in which the story is told is unique (Who is the main character? Is there an ending?), implying that there is no rule in the present world. The difference between old people (helpful and nice) and young people (selfish and greedy generally) also produces a big contrast.
The evil guy is also depicted as Satan, using gas to kill people… very terrifying… especially the scenes in which he looks for Josh Brolin. The atmosphere is well created and the directors do strike a balance between a commercial film and an artistic film.
Javier Bardem will surely win the best supporting actor award in Oscar this year... and I believe it, with 8 nominations, will also win the best picture (although it does not get the best actor nomination). Of course, I love Atonement so much and hope it will win though it does have a great chance, without the best director and actor nominations... And don't forget There will be Blood which also has 8 nominations. Three of them are also strong!!! 4.5 / 5

welcome to my blog!!
回覆刪除好難估呀！
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/18/2008 13:03:00]You have seen all movies nominated for the best motion picture award lar bor. Should not be difficult I guess. I love Atonement and No Country for Old Men... but I think the second one will win.
我睇左「潛水鐘與蝴蝶」, 好鐘意佢用主觀鏡頭~我諗應該好難拍(雖然我唔識......)
回覆刪除今年未到oscar就上晒d最佳電影提名0既戲, 真係好!!!
呢個星期睇 juno and 200萬 呵呵 ^^
[版主回覆02/19/2008 13:13:00]totally agree with you... before Oscar, all movies will have been formally released in HK. By they way Juno and No Country for Old men are highly recommended. PLS Share with us how you feel after watching it. ^^
我仲有ｄ戲未睇嫁！好似"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly"
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/19/2008 13:12:00]excellent skills involved, but some may fall asleep haha!
Kenji さん, 祝 新春大吉, 萬事勝意, 睇多點講多點好戲...
回覆刪除我剛從西班牙歷劫回來, 只睇了 "理髮師", 也想看高安兄弟, 但實在忙呢...
明天香港電影節的 "書仔" 出街了, 你有無心水戲要同大家分享? 我自己呢, 首選青山真治的 Sad Vacation ( 這是朋友告訴我的 ), 其他嘛, 就要等明天拿了書慢慢選了. 到時再分享丫.
[版主回覆02/20/2008 18:04:00]You too wish you good health and good wealth! No Country for Old Men deserves our support. ^^ Thanks for your sharing, but I am recently too busy to think about HKIFF... believe that I will see a couple of movies there... I tend to support the Asian Film Festival haha.
Very good Oscar prediction/discussion in your show! Cherry did especially well this time around.... Though one correction: Bob Dylan but not David Bowie in "I'm not there"!
回覆刪除I agree pretty much with your predictions overall! Except that the Best direction may not be Coen brothers (not to Oscar's taste)...and supporting actor could be Tom Wilkinson (this should well be his turn)
And I hope Atonement can at least get one Oscar for either Adapted Screenplay or Original Score~~
For Best Original Song, I like Falling Slowly from "Once" to take home the Oscar...
[版主回覆02/21/2008 13:36:00]Right, Cherry knows a lot about the field of movies. Lucky to have her!!! By the way, Once may not be able to beat the very strong Disney songs hahaha... and I also think JUNO's theme song should also be nominated. haha then do you like the one of August Rush, your favourite film?
在香港看了 廣東話版 《長江七號》，然後在新加坡看了 華語版 《長江七號》一次...
回覆刪除單看農曆年電視台的劇目，便知道周星馳是一個偉大的喜劇演員 --- 年三十晚無線播的《行運一條龍》、《百變星君》；年初一晚美亞電影台的《鹿鼎記》；年初四晚無線的《97家有囍事》(年初二亞視的《家有囍事》).... 而且他願意求變，由《食神》開始，不再純搞笑，更希望在電影中加入訊息；到《少林足球》，除了訊息，周 星馳也不再 獨攬 搞笑的功能，將之分給其他人，於是有後來的王一飛、肥仔聰、田雞、元華、元秋等 。這種轉變很成功，但也意味過去那個周星馳會慢慢消失。所以，到了《長江七號》，周星馳成功轉型成為一個 配角 。
當我知道《長江七號》是拍給小朋友看的，我已沒有多大期望。如果你去看《長江七號》是希望一睹昔日的星爺，必然大叫回水，但撇開這種集體期望，這套戲是成功的。首先， 《長江七號》確為小朋友帶來歡樂，坐在我後面的幾個小孩，不斷發出天真的笑聲；當看到周星馳遇危，竟然傳來他們的哭聲 。
散場後經過徐嬌做代言人的 chickee duck ，便看見櫥窗裏放了那隻外星狗玩具。這套《長江七號》的野心，並不單在票房，更 希望像《星球大戰》、《小魔怪》、《 ET 外星人》甚至《哈利波特》一樣，大賣電影副產品 。相信這一著也會成功。
如果細味劇情的話， 《長江七號》對中國大陸的現狀不無諷刺，但看在香港人眼裏，像隔了一層紗 。《長江七號》不是《國產零零漆》，那是以香港觀眾為本位嘲笑大陸，但《長江七號》是反照今天大陸的荒謬，以大陸人為本位，所以他們比我們更有共嗚。《長江七號》在內地上映九天半，票房已突破一億，這一著，似乎也成功了。
作為演員， 周星馳已成殿堂級，再做下去，最終必會重複自己。他很聰明地將「周星馳 ( 演員 ) 」變成神話，另闢戰場，希望成為香港電影界永遠的神話 。就像活地阿倫一樣，演而優則導，最終拍了《 Match Point 》這樣出色的電影，或者，星爺正在等待這一刻。
年初二，亞視重播許冠文的《雞同鴨講》，戲末，記者問許冠文為甚麼他的燒鴨店這樣成功，許冠文說：「最重要是變、變、變。」兩代笑匠，許冠文求變失敗，周星馳求變成功，今日重聽這句對白，實在有趣。但我還是很懷緬喜劇演員時代的周星馳，但 看見香港一個殿堂級的演員願意求變，也很尊敬，因為香港有太多人食老本食得面皮太厚，老本壞掉還要食，能看見求變的人，畢竟令人欣喜 。
[版主回覆02/21/2008 13:33:00]Yes... I also appreciate his effort to makes changes, though the film is mediocre to me. NOT GOOD, but NOT BAD in my opinion.
咦？你地新節目講《霧地異煞》呀？驚唔驚呀？幾時upload新節目？
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/23/2008 13:38:00]The new show may be uploaded on Sunday ^^!!! Thanks so much. You are always FAST!!!
COOL...
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/23/2008 21:28:00]THX
Just confirmed HKIFF tickets, welcome to go to my blog for sharing
回覆刪除[版主回覆02/24/2008 23:16:00]I will see some too ^^.
Congratulations, Kenji!!! Your predictions prove to be very accurate for most of the major categories
回覆刪除Without much surprises this year, No country for Old men is the big winner! (though honestly I don't really like it after seeing it... )
And I don't know why special effects would go to that stupid movie but not transformer?!? (major disappointment)
Luckily, Atonement finally did win one for the original music! And Once got the best song!!! (I'm happy for these two alone)
[版主回覆02/26/2008 13:07:00]thanks a lot... I was excited too. Totally agree that Once is surprising!!! I personally like Atonement and No Country for Old men. The latter one makes me feel and think haha.. the world is changing and there are no more rules... the theme of the movie is in line with the way in which the story is told. NO main characters, no ups and downs, no RULES haha.
I personally think that No country for Old men is a very depressing and traumatic viewing experience...too dark for my taste (or is it the real truth to our world nowadays???I hope not)
回覆刪除But I see your point now, about "no rules", the movie was made deliberately that way, right? Weird beginning and ending, unpredictable plot (almost like Pulp fiction): sudden demise of the lead whom the audience already attached to, so no perspective for the audience to hold onto afterwards...deaths of so many who shouldn't die so abruptly, cop gives up and retires...and Devil seems to prevail finally~~~
Yeh...interesting point indeed...I didn't think of it that way!
"No movie for stupid men" to me then...hahaha
[版主回覆02/26/2008 18:40:00]EXACTLY! You have fully elaborated my thought on this movie. The story is told in an unconventional way, which corresponds to the message. That's why I like this movie. Welcome to listen to my solo show in your spare time. Another interesting point from you!!! I think the human nature is not "completely" negative from the directors' points of view. Did you notice that some of the men killed are GOOD old men??? How about the teenagers? The second teenager is willing to help the killer without asking for money. He takes the initiative in taking off his T shirt and I think he is "a ray of hope"!!! When the killer insists on giving him some money, he refuses several times and finally gives in. I'm not sure if it means that he will be polluted by the money, but I think at least the cop still exists and the second teenager looks very positive to me. What do you think? ^^
一些鏡頭與牛仔角色有點BBM feel 呢 (又BBM上身了 )
回覆刪除聽說其中一角色曾想找Heath演出, 真的嗎?!
JD落敗最佳男主角有點失望呢, 不過抵Daniel Day-Lewis攞既, 連額頭青筋都暴埋
[版主回覆02/27/2008 13:13:00]right a little bit ... I mean the mountains hahaha
Heath? I have no idea. NOT mentioned in the production notes.
JD is NOT nominated for the best actor in Oscar. The reason may be that there is no main character in this film. Still he got the best supporting actor in Oscar. ^^
我愛死那個殺手,太酷了。看戲多年,也沒想過有人會用氧氣筒噴殺人, 太有型了。
回覆刪除[版主回覆04/05/2008 15:50:00]用氧氣筒噴殺人 - I think the killer is a symbol of evil or Satan. Weird weapon right?! There are no more rules in the present world.
我看過那部電影，
回覆刪除但是看不明白。
[版主回覆03/30/2009 22:30:00]Please listen to the show and you may get some ideas! Thanks www.mov-reviews.com
