Extra Bonus → 1/3 of the Show

台南少見的冬日大雨,竟然就發生在火焰之舞戶外公演這一天!

週五下午突然而來的這場雨,讓我們三不五時就往辦公室窗外看;才剛慶幸雨勢漸歇不多久,雨滴就又紛紛落下....



遲了半小時才開始的表演,依舊得在時有時無的雨中進行,直到舞者因雨勢漸大而滑倒,必須暫停演出且再次整理舞台地板。全場爆滿的觀眾耐心等待及不斷加油打氣,無耐最後等到的,還是不得不中斷節目的結果....

這對已經看過幾次此舞團表演的泰咪來說或許還好,但許多初次親臨體驗的朋友必定覺得大失所望啊!尤其如此大規模的戶外藝術節目破天荒地來到台南演出....

幸好,舞團及主辦單位決議星期一在原地補演一場,讓大家原本跌到谷底的失望心情,馬上被這好消息取代!


節目沒演完,全體舞者提早謝幕,但因為這場雨的前拖後延,我們仍舊待到約正常節目結束的時間才散場。不過這也算因禍得福啦,多了一般欣賞表演時遇不到的體驗,而且加上星期一重演的完整舞碼,還比其他地區的觀眾多看1/3場呢!YA~~ ^_^Y


後記:

1/25 這個大好日子,遇到體育場外有人辦喜宴。喜宴關這次節目什麼事呢?重點是行動舞台車就緊鄰體育場圍牆邊!外面的節目比火焰之舞還早開演,不受天候影響愈唱愈high,且大人小孩通通來!

第一次遇到這種令人傻眼的情況啦!!! >_<

For Rika


泰咪妹1号,妳要的東西拿回來囉!
雙面的呢,不過只有一邊有 Orli 啦~

泰咪爸帶了5張回來耶,快可以當壁紙用了

乾脆我也拿一張來貼好了,有帥哥陪伴入眠蠻不錯的呀!
呵~ n_n

Rika, here's what you want!
It's double sided! Well, Orli's only at one side though.

Tammy's dad brought 5 of it home, almost enough to use as the wallpaper. ha~

Maybe I should take 1 for my room, too. It'll be sweet dream with the cute guy aside! n_n

Lifetime Atonement/用一生贖罪


(↑Click to the Official Website↑)

(↑去看看中文官網吧↑)


自從幾個月前知道《贖罪》的消息,泰咪便一直蠻期待這部改編自伊恩麥克伊旺 Ian McEwan 同名暢銷小說的作品。然而台灣的上映日期似乎一改再改,從去年底到現在,總算在 1/11 與觀眾見面了!



故事發生在1935年英格蘭氣溫最高的一天。

二次大戰的陰影漸漸逼近,而13歲的白昂妮塔利斯 Briony Tallis(莎柔絲羅南Saoirse Ronan飾)與家人在維多利亞哥德式的豪宅中,過著優渥的生活。他們全家一起共度週末時,長久以來壓抑的情緒因為酷熱逐漸浮上台面,形成一股令人不安的威脅與危險。

白昂妮是初出茅廬的作家,這位少女擁有豐富的想像力。在一連串的重大誤會後,她指責管家的兒子,姊姊西希莉雅 Cecillia(綺拉奈特莉Keira Knightley飾)的情人羅比透納 Robbie Turner(詹姆斯麥艾維James McAvoy飾)犯下一樁他沒有做過的罪行。這份指責毀了羅比與西希莉雅的戀情,並且讓每個人的生活驟變。


《贖罪》的敘事方式較異於一般電影,正、倒敘及不同時間、空間的交錯,是個蠻有趣的手法,顯現出 Briony 所看到及自行想像放大的片面、與事實的差距。

而坐在電影院看這部戲的觀眾呢?以為看了大半部片子,都已清楚故事發展?最後逐漸顯現的事實是否和你的認知相同?

片中一段男主角 Robbie 環顧整片英軍等待撤軍的海岸,導演 Joe Wright (喬萊特) 堅持採一鏡到底拍攝。超過五分鐘的這幕戲裡,廣闊的海灘上,各個角色的時間及動作均須配合得天衣無縫!為了這場戲,所有人員花了一整天時間排演,最後結果的確令人震懾,加上恰如其分的動人配樂,心情都隨著 Robbie 的情緒而起伏....


.....年幼時的錯誤指責,不僅徹底改變三人的命運,更得用一生來贖罪.....

Wordless

到底為什麼
做甲流汗

到頭來
依舊被嫌甲流涎


Uncle Sam
You probably won't benefit much from this either

要不是沒如此大能耐
老早就想放下一切
離開這紛擾之地了.....

A Week Passed

年底放了十幾天的大假後,新年一開始上班,果然就有一大堆的事要忙啊....

上班前一天,泰咪還特別先發動了一會兒機車,因為車子也睡了超過一星期囉~果然一開始也是花了一點時間才把它叫醒呢!


隔天早上剛騎出門的前10秒鐘,還覺得和泰咪的機車有點陌生、騎起來不太順。一陣子沒騎,感覺都生疏啦!呵~

還好工作了三天以後,快樂的週末很快的又再度來臨囉~ ^_^Y

After more than 10 days of year-end vacation, lots of works awaits me just as expected....

Since Tammy's motorbike had slept for over 1 week, I specially started the engine to warm it up before the next working day. You know what? It really took me a while waking it up!

In the next morning when Tammy left for office, I kept feeling my motorbike didn't work well with me at the first 10 seconds. Guess it was unfamiliar with Tammy after the long vacation... ha~

Luckily, after the 3 busy working days, happy weekend comes again!! ^^
