與STELLA, TIFFANNY, HANZ先生, CY先生 和 HEAN先生, 吃過晚餐後在Cineleisure Damansara 看了這部電影。其電影導演則是已久聞的吳導吳宇森, 只是之前較多以其英文名字, JOHN WOO, 認識他。<< 赤壁 >>, 聽說是部很不錯的電影。我覺得, 的確不錯﹗只可惜我對歷史的理解太遜了, 所以看得一頭霧水, 問號多多。哈哈。還好友人在旁為我作些旁白解說, 否則必定白費了戲票。呵呵﹗

一部關於歷史與戰爭的電影,
<< 赤壁 >> 把一個流傳千年的歷史 '電影化' 了, 反映了三國時代的浩大戰爭, 體現了當時偉大英雄們的理智待事及聰明伶俐, 演繹了非常壯觀的斗打戰爭局面。由金城武飾演的諸葛亮, 梁朝偉的周瑜, 張震的孫權, 張豐毅的曹操, 尤勇的劉備, 胡軍的趙子龍, 巴森的關羽, 臧金生的張飛, 還有趙微的孫尚香和林志玲的小喬等, 演員陣容的確強大, 英雄們演繹得入神有型, 斗打場面也精心設計指導, 別有風范。然而依個人看法呢, 就不太喜歡金城武的演繹﹐有點太做作而看似脫節。梁朝偉也差不多一樣。也許是他們太乾淨亮眼了吧, 哈哈, 對我來說有點不襯, 反而其他英雄們較為適眼。林志玲呢, 嗯... 沒什麼特別演繹。而趙微呢, 原以為會是以漂亮文雅的有型氣質女呈現, 結果不如我所願, 其演繹其實就只像把 << 還珠格格 >> 裡的小燕子搬演到 << 赤壁 >> 裡。哈哈。純屬個人意見噢, 沒刻意侵犯, 哈哈。也許是我對史書不了解,也許他們的演繹就為了配合真實的史故﹗

真的遺憾對歷史認知不足, 沒辦法看得入神, 更沒辦法分析分享更多有關該部電影的細節, 寫此電影部落格的確有難度呀﹗:( 不過話說回來, 雖然我不太了解當中的史說情節, 但以欣賞電影製作及拍攝來說, 我真的覺得 << 赤壁>> 很不錯﹗想必很多對三國歷史有所了解的朋友們, 甚至是有關網上游戲的支持者, 一定為此電影讚嘆不絕。當中我非常欣賞其戰役的技巧戰術, 如何偷襲, 如何應招, 如何讓敵方上當, 如何風光瀟灑地贏戰等, 真的讓我佩服不已。每一刀每一劍, 每一句精華每一步策劃, 甚至走位圖形, 都精心設計, 雖然有小部份露出了電腦動畫的破綻。 尤其是當中的"八卦陣"戰事, 的確精彩震憾﹗ 是部影像非常漂亮的電影。

我想 << 赤壁 >> 是部蠻特別的史說電影。它成功擺脫了慣例歷史電影的模式, 融入了現代觀影的趨勢, 加入了不少幽默元素, 讓歷史電影不再單調苦悶, 也較容易被多階層接受。誰說翻攝歷史戰爭類型的電影難以突破? << 赤壁 >>卻成功了, 帶來了不少驚喜。當中造型看似粗魯邋塌的張飛竟在戲中書法揮筆消遣, 逗得我忍不住一笑, 還害我被友人笑說: "人人都笑時你不笑, 沒人笑的情景呢你卻自個兒笑, 真可笑﹗" 哈哈。不過老實說, 戲中某些所謂的幽默字句對白, 我個人認為有點逞強, 太故意穿插, 我反而覺得有點無聊即冷場。也純屬個人意見唷﹗ =.= 然而戲中周瑜運用打獵老虎激烈教導孫權的方法別有含義。眾多人皆知的 "一根筷子易被折斷, 團結就是力量" 的古說, 也被周瑜用草鞋一制呈現。

我想除了演員陣容, 最為熱聊的應該就是其收場了吧。很多觀眾都有被 '炸到' 的感覺。呵呵﹗吳導, 你也太壞了吧, 調大家的胃口, 還來得那麼突然﹗但對我而言, 那收場方式似乎新鮮好玩, 畢竟眾多的電影在有續集的情況下並沒有如此簡單以文字呈現過, 感覺就像看了兩個小時多的影片後竟發現: "蛤??? 只是三國大戰的介紹和預告片???" 哈哈。別氣了, 耐心等待明年吳導的續集, 希望再次帶來精彩的驚喜咯﹗

總的來說, << 赤壁 >> 的確值得一賞﹗

Went for this "Hancock" with STELLA, ANGELINA, MR. HANZ, MR. CY and MR. HEAN at Sunway Pyramid after having our Family Fiesta Dinner at The Chicken Rice Shop. wahahaa~ :p

Well, had heard about this movie quite some time ago. My friend, Mr. Maxx told me that this will be a great film. I think so as well, as it features kinda great star - Will Smith. "Hancock", seriously, before and during i went into the cinema, i have no idea of what the film is about, not even a little. Is to keep myself a little surprise i guess. hahaa. The only think that comes to my mind, besides Will Smith, it was just: "Hancock? John Hancock! hahaa, the clothing brand." Who knows? All along the film, Will Smith really turns out to be "John Hancock" in the film, get to know this when the other prisoners named him "John" during the sharing session.

"Hancock", again, it's a superhero film, where there is a man show up to have super powers that could help to save the world in all kinds of disasters. Something that made this film slightly different is that, it started of with a so-called SuperHero who seems to be unwanted, annoying, hated, someone that is so not welcomed by the citizens. Then it appears to have a public relations professional man that seems to understand and to repair while turning the Unwanted Hancock to the Most Welcomed Hero. For me, "superhero" is just an additional elements to the storyline. The meanings conveyed behind do meant much more where we audience shall take more note about.

The storyline is kinda meaningful. It somehow reflects the society nowadays or even previous days. People always tends to judge someone from the outlook, or from something they can see probably. Perhaps this is how normal human beings react. When you see something bad or negative, you perceive the person involved as someone awful as well. How many times we people would willing to understand more, trying to walk into a particular person, go right near to his heart, just to know the real and hidden personality or feelings? This film shows. It shows how we shall look at a person, how we shall save and turn a person or even the world to be a better one. Perhaps every figure does have their own ways of presenting or conveys their thinkings to the public. It's just either you've used the right positive way or the negative one. Sometimes, people does meant to be weak. No matter how strong you are in both physically or mentally, living in this world, we cant stop ourselves from taking mind of how the others look at us, how much cares and concerns we actually hope to receive from the crowd. The public's perceptions towards ourselves do mean alot, in the sense of supporting and moulding us to be someone who owns better self-esteem or even just to live happier. Overall, what we wish to get is just people's acceptance, to be someone who is well-welcomed by the public, who is respected and accepted by the crowd. The film shows too, on how much communication skill matters in terms of human relationships. The way you talk, the words you speak, even a simple sentence may change the others' perceptions towards yourself, may make a particular thing turn out to be better and more wonderful.

Love. Hahaa, something been arousing human's thoughts for centuries ago and coming centuries, something where no one could ever really figure out. The film somehow conveys great thinkings towards Love and Relationship as well. It says: "When 2 people sticked together, they become one, connected and the power lost." It says: "This is it.. Love. Connect. Old. Die." Maybe human beings are always influenced and mould by Love itself. Perhaps this is like what people always says? Someone in love seems to be blind. hahaa! I guess it's because Love can turn someone to be both stronger and weaker. No matter how tough or strong a person is, Love, is the only thing that human cant stand or resist, something that could melt the cruel or iron heart. It shows too in the film, when Hancock forced to stay as far as he could from Mary, fighting badly with his love instinct, just to save Mary, just to give her a better life. Perhaps this is what we always see. The other form of Love. where we have to let go someone we love, just to protect or to give him/her a better life. Speaking something seems conservative, Loving someone doesn't mean you have to stick and be with him/her. It can be in another form, it can even be more wonderful. It just depends on how much you get, how much you would realize, and how much you care about it. Love? Sticking together. Love? It is to set it free too, sometimes. hahahaa!

Well, too much i've said. Come back Chryss! hahahaa:p Anyway, the humor added do enhance the film. The cute little boy, Aaron, really seems so lovable. The way he shouted: "Hancock!! We've brought you something!" The way he responsed: "I do love Hancock!!" when it says there's no one who welcome and like Hancock. Not a bad film overall. I shall say the meanings conveyed behind, somehow, save it. Fortunately.

HANCOCK, GO..O....OO..D JOB!! wahahaa:p Just playing around with the dialogues though.. Is it a good film? perhaps not for me.. sorry :(
