踩鋼線的人 Man On Wire (2008)

為理想，連死也不怕。這是怎麼樣的精神？
This guy nearly died for his dream. Does it really worth it?

Letters from Iwo Jima 硫黄島からの手紙 (2006)

What a pity I didn't watch this when it was release in 2006. I didn't like Clint Eastwood before, but now, I kinda want to know him more. :)

真可惜我沒有在2006年看這部電影。看完之後，我突然有點興趣了解一下Clint Eastwood。

WHAT WERE YOU DOING WHEN YOU WERE 13?

你記得你13歲時在做甚麼嗎？

This is what I love: LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL! (La vita è bella)

Directed by Roberto Benigni, he acted in it as well, Life is Beautiful is doubtlessly one of the best movies of all time!

To briefly summarize, it's a story of a loving father making his son to believe that the WWII Nazi concentration camp was all a game that will lead him to a grant prize. Oh my goodness, right?



I definitely have to see it again.

This is what I love: プロポーズ大作戦!

English titled Operation Love, was a TV series in spring 2007.

To briefly summarize, this 11-episod series is a series of time travels that a fairy offered Ken, the protagonist, to go back in time to fix some mistakes he had made in order to pursue the girl who he loves, who is now the bride of somebody else. The fairy appears on the banquet night, pitied Ken who regrets every single thing he did in his life and gives him the power go back.

One good thing about Japanese TV series is that it is very short per season. This in particular reminds us to live without regrets, and to be brave to face the difficulties in life, especially in our relationships, not only with lovers, but also with family and friends. MEANINGFUL! Go get it!!

Here's a fan-made MV of the theme song: 明日晴れるかな by 桑田佳祐. Sorry this is the best I can find, no English subtitles, just Chinese...

This is what I love: LOST!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN DESTINY? This is the main question.

You know what? Nearly a month after finishing this wonderful series, I still can't get it out of my mind. This proves how hard I love this series.

In case you don't know what this series is about, it's about the survivors of a mysterious plane crash on an island.

How could one not see this series?! It's 118 episods, around 42 minutes each, the last episod is 105 minutes, so it's about 5019 minutes in total, that is 83.65 hours, 3.485 days. Well, not that long~ :P

It's on Hulu and Netflix, so go ahead and watch it and tell me what you feel about it!

There's even a site called LOSTPEDIA, which includes every little detail in this TV series, made by fans... oh my goodness... wanna know why? Go see it!

I'm sure you'll all love it.

This is what I love: CHAGE & ASKA!

Well, today, I decide to share the things that I love on this blog, not just share something I see randomly online. That would make this blog silly because Facebook is doing that same thing. Somehow, I feel like I always love something that people around me don't really like, or not even know about... so here is the first to mention:

CHAGE & ASKA!!!
(Chage & Aska on WIKI)

They're a Japanese duo, and here are two best songs from them. How could one not love Chage & Aska? Old stuffs are GREAT! Haha!





When Chage & Aska were on mountain top, I was too little to appreciate them, but their songs were around me somehow. I didn't recognize them until I was in middle school, illegally downloading bunch of musics and found that I know many of their songs. You know when you download songs, you just get whatever appears on the monitor. lol Then I truly fell in love with their songs.

Now I'm over 20, and I ask myself, "how can I not pay for their wonderful musics?" Guys! Go to iTunes, they have many remastering records of them! search CHAGE AND ASKA!! buy them!

Well, just to mention... I sometimes feel that Facebook is making us so shallow, don't you think so? Like... one "liked" something and automatically shares it out and everybody start liking it. But then we  do not really know anything about that person at all, apart from that one single line that says: "this MV is very cool!"

Hey, why am I writing this blog at the first place?
