Comments of a documentary about earlier Nepal

The documentary was shot by my Portuguese relative. It was made for television programme about 20 years ago. It talked about the progress of building the bridge for tourism. Some flashbacks are used to show that some people were working for the government in 1953.

Comments of The Grandmaster

Yesterday I watched a film named The Grandmaster, which was directed by Kar-Wai Wong. The Grandmaster is a Hong Kong martial arts drama film based on the life story of the Wing Chun grand master Yip Man.

However, the most impressing part of this film is not Yip Man, but the charateristic of Gong Er, who is the daughter of an old and famous martial arts master. She has very strong personality which is tough, persistent and patient. Her father tends to beat others to become the leader of the field, however, he fails. To help her father and retain the reputation of her family, Gong Er fights the man who beat her father skillfully. It is worth noting that Gong Er is intelligent and aggressive. As time goes by, Master Gong grows older and older and is retrayed and killed by his most adorable apprentice. Gong Er is much too angry and sad and want to revenge for her father. Nevertheless, in tradition Chinese culture, married daughter is no longer a member of the original family. So Gong Er sacrifices her marriage and waits for several years to revenge. As she wishes, she successfully kills the man murdered her father, but she also suffers great harm and passes away after a few years. I greatly admire her spirit, it also reflects the spirit of other maters of martial arts. It is with the belief and faith that the martial arts have remained and developed for centuries.    

Comments of Notting Hill

Tonight I have seen the film named Notting Hill, it talked about a story of a ordinary person and a film star. The life of a simple bookshop owner changes when he meets the most famous film star in the world. They have experienced many roughs but finally they entered their marriage. The film was directed by Roger Michell in 1999.

Comments of Hungry Games 1

Yesterday I had seen the film named Hungry Games 1. The film is directed by Gary Ross and it talked about a game that let 24 people from different districts fight each other for survivals. Many difficulties are set by the controllers, nearly all of the contributors have experienced a lot of dangers and died, but finally the two from district 12 saved their lives and win the hungry game and they become a couple.

Scenes of the films are very beautiful, in my opinion, nearly all of them are shot in green screens and edited in post-production with Maya, 3D Max or After Effects.

the controllers are setting tigers to catch them 

the controllers are living who are failed the game and died 

Comments of Kill Your Darlings

Last week I have seen the suspense film named Kill Your Darlings, which was directed by John Krokidas, is talked about a student in University of Columbia in 1944. The man was warmed up with two people who were also the students of Columbia, finally they became homosexuality. One of them killed his dad......

I was confused about the story of this film and I couldn't have a good comprehension of it.

But as for something relevant to my research project is the flashbacks are used in this film for some times.

Interviewing in Roger's class in Broadway Cinema

Yesterday in Roger's class we had practiced how to interview a person. We used the Sony camera with memory cards and we interviewed everyone about cultural differences between Britain and their mother countries in our class. When talking about Britain we used English and we used our mother languages in talking about our own cultures. Roger adjusted the lights of the stage and make it a bit red, then we used two red-heads as a main light and a background light. We learned a lot in Cinema 1 in Broadway Cinema with Roger.
