Fraction 2007

If you look close enough, you'll find everyone has a weak spot.
I shot my wife...prove it.
Even the boken clock gets to be right twic a day.
Take a very special sort of person to look into someone's eyes and shoot them. It is a crtain kind of strength. Ted ( by Anthony Hopkins) made a plan to kill his wife and her lover by only one bullet. He previously changed his gun with Lt. Robert Nunally. Lt. Nunally took it out when he left the Ted's. The only peice of evidence was take away and wear on Lt. Nunally's hip. Willy was cute and accoused Ted for murdering his wife as his wife was alreadu dead. The first time Ted went to trial for attempt to murder his wife for she's still alive then. But now, things changed. New evidence for new charge. Wonderful act showed by Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling.
Ps No one cares wheither Jennifer alive or dead except Willey. They all pay attention to their own bussiness. Leave ur e-mail address as you prefered to have a discussion. Because this blog is always unable to be accessed by myself, I cannot see any comments on board.

Full of It 2007

Winners always lie.
Linars always win.
Do u believe it? Samule did not believe it, either. However, he tried to lie to people around. It did work and people became to like him when he lay. He found all his lies came true one morning. His dog ate his homework every morning, her parents became artists... he was an excellent basketball player and saved his team time and again... Not too long did he found it was not what he wanted. He really needed to get back the normal life he used to.
Just a funny story.

FW: The trees outside my window

From the window of my room, I could see a tall cotton-rose hibiscus. In spring, when green foliage was half hidden by mist, the tree looked very enchanting dotted with red blossom. This inspiring neighbor of mine often set my mind working. I gradually regarded it as my best friend.
Nevertheless, when I opened the window one morning, to my amazement, the tree was almost bare beyond recognition as a result of the storm ravages the night before. Struck by the plight, I was seized with a sadness at the thought “all the blossom is doomed to fall”. I could not help sighing with emotion: the course of life never runs smooth, for there are so many ups and downs, twists and turns. The vicissitudes of my life saw my beloved friends parting one after another. Isn’t it similar to the tree shedding its flowers in the wind?

This event faded from my memory as time went by. One day after I came home from the countryside, I found the room stuffy and casually opened the window. Something outside caught my eye and dazzled me. It was a plum tree all scarlet with blossom set off beautifully by the sunset. The surprise discovery overwhelmed me with pleasure. I wondered why I had no idea of some unyielding life sprouting over the fallen petals when I was grieving for the hibiscus.
When the last withered petal dropped, all the joyful admiration for the hibiscus sank into oblivion as if nothing was left, until the landscape was again ablaze with the red plum blossom to remind people of life’s alternation and continuance. Can’t it be said that life is actually a symphony, a harmonious composition of loss and gain.
Standing by the window lost in thought for a long time, I realized that no scenery in the world remains unchanged. As long as you keep your heart basking in the sun, every dawn will present a fine prospect for you to unfold and the world will always be about new hopes.

The Quiet (2006)

People always talk about the quiet before the storm, but no one talks about that after. Dot, who lost her parents, was adopted by Nina's Parents. She's a normal one but pretented to be a deaf and dumb, always kept quiet. It would be harder to lose sth. than never had having it in life. The whole story is a tragedy. Jack told all his scerets to her as he thought her to be trustable. He felt being cheated when he found her not disable. Dot helped Nina killing Nina's Father who intended to rape her. Nina's Mom, a mainliner, told the police that she did that and was arrested.

Duncan—Paul Simon

Couple in the next room
Bound to win a prize
They've been goin' at it all night long
Well I'm tryin' to get some sleep
but these motel walls are cheap
Lincoln Duncan is my name
and here's my song, here's my song
My father was a fisherman
my mama was a fisherman's friend
and I was born in the boredom and the chowder
So when I reached my prime
I left my home in the maritimes
headed down the turnpike for New England, sweet New England
Holes in my confidence
holes in the knees of my jeans
I was left without a penny in my pocket
Oo-o wee I was about as
destituted as a kid could be
And I wish I wore a ring
so I could hock it I'd like to hock it
Seen a young girl in a parking lot
preaching to a crowd,
singin sacred songs and
reading from the Bible
Well I told her I was lost
and she told me all about the Pentecost
And I seen that girl as the road to my survi-ival
Just later on the very same night
She crept to my tent with a flashlight
and my long years of innocence ended
Well she took me to the woods sayin'
Here comes somethin' and it feels so good!
And just like a dog I was befriended
I was befriended
Oh, oh, what a night
Oh what a garden of delight
Even now that sweet memory lingers
I was playin' my guitar
lying underneath the stars
Just thankin' the Lord for my fingers
for my fingers

War and Peace

The most difficult thing- but an essential one - is to love Life, to love it even while one suffers, because Life is all. Life is God and to love Life means to love God.
I thought Natasha looked like Hepbum and I said to Tutu that, of course she agreed with me. When I searched that on IMDB, I knew I made a mistake. It' true, it is really Hepbum. haha

Trivial

It wasn't because we were brave, but because we had no choice.
Our freedom was all that mattered.
If war produce one thing. It's many cemeteries. And in cemeteries there are no enemies.
Nothing happens without cause.

A Failure of Imagination

From the Earth to the Moon(1998): it took human beings years of time to make the dream coming true. Large amounts of money, labors, geniuses were put on that. Meantime, some lost their life. They paid too much on them.

Apollo One caught a fire and three astronauts died. It should have been avoided, but because a failure of imagination. No one thought that the spacefight would burn out on the ground, but it did explored. They learned much from the tragedy.

Ideas are the most valuable the world, whether you agree or not. That's my two cents.

FW: Who Gave Me the Ears?

"Can I see my baby?" the happy new mother asked.
When the bundle was nestled in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.
Time proved that the baby's hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was marred. When he rushed home from school one day and flung himself into his mother's arms, she sighed, knowing that his life was to be a succession of heartbreaks.
He blurted out the tragedy. "A boy, a big boy...called me a freak."
He grew up, handsome for his misfortune. A favorite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music.
"But you might mingle with other young people," his mother reproved him, but felt a kindness in her heart.
The boy's father had a session with the family physician... "Could nothing be done?"
"I believe I could graft on a pair of outer ears, if they could be procured," the doctor decided. Whereupon the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice for a young man.
Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it's a secret."
The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged. His talents blossomed into genius, and school and college became a series of triumphs.
Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her."
"I do not believe you could," said the father, "but the agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."
The years kept their profound secret, but the day did come. One of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother's casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.
"Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut," his father whispered gently, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?"
PS I don't think it a true story but I believe the Mom is beautiful.

The Tale of Peter Rabbit

FW: How to Be a Successful Language Learner?

"Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!" Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will no guarantee success for every adult language learner.
Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in language learning. Conversely, some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.
Language teachers often offer advice to language learners: "Read as much as you can in the new language." "Practice speaking the language every day." "Live with people who speak the language." "Don't translate - try to think in the new language." "Learn as a child would learn; play with the language."
But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language, Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.
Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, Successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information what is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of very word.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.
What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.

Love in the Afternoon (1957)

One film about True Love. A four-man band played an important in the film, such a romantic one. Audrey Hepburn, the daughter of a dective, helps a rich one escape from death and falls in love with him. It is a wonderful stroy about love. Hepburn is good at showing her kindheart in such kind movie. I like it. It's amazing such a black-and-white film has a color post. Sometimes such one gives more emphersis on the story itself than the color ones which attract people mainly on the scene or the colorful world.

Queimada (1969)

" Your bag, Senhor?" " Bag, Sir?" William Walker ( by Marlon Brando) turned around, got stabbed and fell down. So familiar voice but it was not Jose Dolores again but another negro.

The answer was about civilization.

IMAX - Adrenaline Rush

"Adrenaline Rush" explores the innards of risk taking in a wide and spectacular way. From the "explosive" science and entrepreneurship of Alfred Nobel to a schoolboy's first day in class, from the boldness and determination of Henry Ford to the shy but affectionate sentiment of a teen for another, "Adrenaline Rush" brings us on a journey in the multidimensional world of risk, a world where progress of humankind or personal accomplishment aren't necessarily related to the scope or the nature of the endeavor.
"Adrenaline Rush" also teaches us that humanity can benefit from the unexpected and combined efforts of two very different risk takers whose minds meet across half a millennium and across the boundaries of the Old and New Worlds, as we witness the experiment of Leonardo Da Vinci's notorious parachute by Adrian Nicholas, world's most respected skydiver and inventor in his own right, monitored closely by Salford scientists who seek answers on critical and life pertaining matters. Incidentally, "Adrenaline Rush" doesn't hesitate to explain scientific concepts in simple words. From the soaring and breathtaking cliffs of Norway to the calm and inspiring immensity of the Mojave Desert, from Thomas Edison's laboratory to a simple American schoolyard, "Adrenaline Rush" is more than a thrilling visual experience, it's an invitation to explore our inner selves and a statement that there is no such thing as having little courage.

Pieces of April (2003)

It is one simple story about a lovely girl with a funny name April. She's preparing dinner for her family who came to her apartment and had a check of April's new boyfriend, a poor guy who was kicked by April's exboyfriend on his way back.

Infamous (2006)

It is a different version of the same stroy with the earlier "Capote" and somebody thinks it difficult to compare "Infamous" with it.

" It's funny. It made him. He never wrote anything big again just collections, fragments put together. God knows he didn't have to write. After all he had enough money in Cold Blood."

Trueman Capote was a little man who was often thouht to be a lady or a sissy exactly when you heard the voice. He was a special one who had his way to get familiar with people he wanna catch. That might be why he made his success. By his genius, he developed a close relationship with the twoe muder suspects. That made him. I do not care what ruined him. All I need is that. That's enouth.

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

Happyness not happiness, it was just a misspelled on the wall of a kindergarten which was operated by Miss Zhu. Chris Gardner (by Will Smith) and his son Christopher (by Jaden Smith) will tell you what the heck happiness really is. It is intersting that Jaden Smith is like in the film the son of Will Smith. This father and son give their show.

Chirs is a saleman struggling for his life with his son and his wife who cannot bear such a life any more leaves them off. He, a smart guy, wins again and agian, successfully becoming a broker. That will truly change his life and of course his son's. The process of pursuit of happiness is more improtant than the success. His son and he know what the happiness is. They are kicked off from the rent house and then the motel. He has to take Christopher the subway WC and spend the night there. He catches up with the bus in a hurry and lines up in front of the charity origanizations for help. He suffers much and he tries to keep Christopher from them. Such a talented guy makes it.

All I know is that every has one's life and its different. So does the happiness.

How Time Flies!

A Li (2001)

ALI is a legend. He said what he said; he did what he did; he said what he did; he did what he said.

The Hurricane (1999)

Lesra, short for Lazarus. "He who has risen from the dead. Rubin. "Genesis, Chapter 29, Verse 32" be hold a son. Neither of Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter (by Denzel Washington) and Lesra (by Vicellous Reon Shannon) thought that Lesra bought Rubin's biography " 16 Rounds" by accident.
They became friends and brothers, son and father. Lesra helped Rubin, a prizefighter got his justice and out of prison after two decades in jail. Rubin was set up by the dirty police who was eager to had hime shut in jail, for race discrimination
maybe.
The Hurricane returned and was awarded the world middleweight championship belt by the WBC in recognition of his twenty years fight for freedom. Such an honor never bestowed on any fighter outside of the ring. But the Hurricane did.

As Good As It Gets (1997)

A lovely dog and three persons, two men and one woman with certain problems.

Catch A Fire (2006)

"In my nights and the days, I moved closer to prove my mind that it was him. That monster. Then I said to myself "Patrick, you can end it now". "Break his neck. Kill him. Here in this spot. End it. As I was walking towards him I said "No, oh, no! Killing is not going to help me. Revenge is not good... It's going to carry on war for this generation and the next generation. Let me let him live and then I will he free. I am free and everyone is free." Patric Chamusso recalled. He, like other average people, who always loves peace and persudes his fellow to cooperate with the government, should have led a happy life with his wife and children as he has a job. Meantime, he coached a children football team and led them a champion. Unfortunately, he was thought to be a terrorist. Race discrimination and misunderstanding turn the white and the negro enermies. It annoyed Patric Chamusso a real terroist who volunteered to bomb the oil fiedl where he had been working as a chief forman. Nic Vos(by Tim Robbins) a white anti-terroist expert tried to stop him. Patric was caught and arrested. But he and his people win.

In a nutshell, war and suffering go hand in hand. Thus, no one would get anyting but pain in a war.

Billy Elliot (2006)

Daning, still dancing. But this time, it is a boy, Bill Elliot who performs ballet. Lads, who perform ballet, would generally be thought as a gay, not like a man or not manlike way. His father and brother were against him at the beginning and became to support when they found his talent on such wonderful thing. His father who supported the miner strike gave that up and became a "scab" as he and his fellows always called all for the money needed for Billy. He even went to a hockshop had the golden watch and jewelry which might be inherited from grandpa pawned. Michael Caffrey, Billy's teacher, who had her own life messed up, did all she can to gave him a help.
I love the song at the beginning of the film. It's funny.

My Left Foot (1989)

It is inccredible that a man with only one part of his anatomy animated, his left foot became a famous artist. He could even speak until he is 19 yeares old for the cerebral palsy. He showed his great talent when he was still a boy and had never attended in any school. He shocked his family as he chalked out "MOTHER" on the floor with his left foot. The first work was intended to give a girl he loved as a gift but he failed the first time he showed his love to girls. The second time was his doctor, who was going to married. Life was so difficult for such poor guy. Casually, he met his wife on a charity party. He let his wife know what she did wanna get. She got C.B. Christy Brown.

Chinses Odyssey (2002)

It is funny but some parts are unnecessary and should be cut off.

Open Season (2006)

Life in the woods near a small town is wonderful for it will soon be the OPEN Season. There, Boog, a grizzly bearand Elliot,a mule deer( I may call it a mule or a donkey more exactly and I am quite puzzled why choose such a deer with only one horn left), are leaving the woods from the town at such a dangerous time. Unfortunately, they are kicked off by other animals in the woods. When the "Open Season" comes, they stand together and let the hunters eff off. This cartoon film is so wonderful and looks like a painting.

What Would It Turn Out To Be If Just Let It Go

On a evening bus which moves forward with jerks there standing were two. The Woman showed the young pretty a seat when someone got off. At that time the young pretty were dancing tuned to the jerks. She might do some excise after her danging lesson. She followed her mother. When it was time for them to get off, the young pretty seemed to exercise again. " Hold it steady" The young was stopped. Then the bus arrived at the stop and they got off.
It might be danger if you didn't hold steady. Or might not.

The Guardian (2006)

There's a legendof a man who lives beneath the sea. He is a fisher of men, the last hope of all thosewho have been left behind. Many survivors claim to have felthis gripping hands beneath them, pushing them up to the surface, whispering strengthuntil help could arrive. But this, of course, is only a legend.
Then, the question is "What makes a legend?". Is it what someone didwhen they were alive... or how they're remembered after they're gone? Randall( by Kevin Costner) and Jack( by Ashton Kutcher) told a story.
Jack was eager to know how may persond did Randall have saved when he heard that Randall still kept a record—saved the most lives, 200 or 300, even though jack broke many records which had been made by Randall. "What's your real number?" "22" "22? That's not bad. It's not 200. It's not..." "22 is the number of peopleI lost, Jake. Only number I kept track of." Randall cared much more about the life he's saving and the number he lost not how many he had saved.
Randall becomes a fisher of man and lives beneath the sea after he had signed for his retirement and had his last mission for an emergency.
Do enjoy the last two songs.

Happy Feet (2006)

Dancing, still dancing, even a penguin born with a pair of big feet love daning fiercely. He was born a bit later than his fellows and it was his fate to have something special. He did bring them happiness. There was much danger in penguins' life while they still enjoyed themselves. Beautiful scene and wonderful music, excellent dancing, tap dancing by happy feet.

Dead Man Walking (1995)

"Dead man walking!" the policeman shouted out as Matthew Poncelet (by Sean Pan) was going to be taken to he death chamber. It may be why this film has such a name.
Sister Helen(by Susan Sarandon) didn't knew Matthew until she heard from him and met him in the state prison for the first time. She made a decision to help him free as a non wiht a kind
heart to help anyone as she can. Matthew was a murderer who killed a young couple and raped the lady. It was incredible to average people that there is someone who' willing to help those monsters alike. Sister Helen did. She found him lawers to save him from being killed but they failed and Matthew was killed. Nevertheless, he realized his fault, confessed and wanted to get forgiven from the relatives of the victims.
What would we do to a murder going to be killed?
Ps This film helped Susan win the Best Actress in the leading role of Oscar in 1996.

The Lost Battalion (2001)

"Major, could you read for my Bible?" A badly wounded soldier put his hands on the breast with a bloody Bible. Maj. Whittlesey, got the Bible and found it dipped with blood and unable to be separated. “Almighty God…Let me never be put in confusion…” he hadn’t finished his word till his man was dead. The tale was about a 600-troop which was consisted of men from America, Poland, Ireland and many other countries, against the Germany in WWI. They were separated from their division and in German surrounding. Everyday Maj. Whittlesey collected many dog tags from his dead men. They were forgotten. Even worse, they were shot by their own cannons. All they had to delivery messages was pigeons. They did help them greatly. They insisted fighting and held the battalion. They were told that they would be supported and the French would give them a hand. The support did catch up with them and even their men looking for the French’s backup were killed and never returned. They got lost. They were on their own. Soldiers had no food and tried to get some from the dead Germans in the battle field. They got something to eat and one called the other one. The other one was too excited and stood up. Then bullets came and he fell down. It was a disaster.
They finally were found by the division and got back. Those men got found. Less than 100 or even less was live, I am not sure.
Ps Maj. Whittlesey was a lawyer from America

Last Exit (2006)

Everydy everyone are under more pressure to get where we are going to get with less time to get there. Eventually and unfortunately, we have to have something giving up, something as priceless as life. Two women in anger made the disaster with one(Kathleen Robertson) killed by the other (Andrea Roth) with a gun and her leg cut off. The reason is so simple. They both drived in a hurry. One stood on the other's way and made anxiety, then updated to conflict, chasing and then a disaster.
Life is busy and lives are valuable.

The French messed it without doubt but only one question. They all lost their chances. However, these two guys fell in love with each other as they stayed together to prepare the examination.

A Few Good Men (1992)

Are there any good men? Yeah. There should have been some. Is life fair? Answers vary quitely.
It is soliders' responsbility to obey oders. Two of them did but that nearly killed their lives. With the handsome lead counsel

From Chivalry

Gideon and his army

Judge and hero of ancient Israel, whose deeds are described in the Old Testament Book of Judges.The book contains two versions of Gideon's story. In one account, he led his tribe of Manasseh in a victorious campaign against the Midianites, then fashioned an idolatrous image from the booty and led Israel into immorality. In another version, he replaced worship of the local deity, Baal, with that of Yahweh (the God of Israel), and the power of Yahweh enabled his tribe to destroy the Midianites.

Blood Diamond (2006)

It happened in Sierra Leone in 1993. There it is always said" If you want life long, never touch the diamond". It is true.
Diamnods are transparent and a little pink. While I have never wear a diamnod ring or these alike, I have no idea what are they exactly look like. TIA, this is Africa. Those African countries, especially in Sierra Leonein, are rich in diamonds. The soil is red and is painted by blood as they say. It may be the reason why a diamnod is a little pink. When you see the film would you still ask to have a diamond ring or diamond necklace to wear when you get married if you can afford that. If you are humanbeings you will not have such a diamond of conflict.
In Januar 2003, 40 countries signed "The Kimberley Process"- an effort to stem of the flow of conflict-diamonds. But illegal diamonds are still found their way to market. It is up to the consumer to insist that a diamond is conflict-free.
Today there are still 200, 000 child soliders in Africa. They are trained to us guns, knives. etc. any kind weapons to kill people, no matter whether he/she is a child or an old man. They also inevitalbly are killed. They have home but they are homeless

Big Movie (2006)

What goes around comes around
It must be familiar with this photo as it is something alike the one in Shimian Maifu (directed by Zhang Yi-mou). Sure, it plays jokes on so many movies, someone which is as famous as Forrest Gump, Matrix, Broken Mountain and so on. There are some from domestic ones like Shimian Maifu, Kungfu, etc. Just joking. Zhang and his coteries dream of being as the winner of Oscar and direct couples of so called Big Movies. They always dream and make garbage time and again. That's why people always laugh at them and they won't do if these guys just failed without the garbage.
It begins as a pigeon flying and singing in the sky. Then comes a feather falling down. It copies from Forrest Gump. Anyone who has watched the film will remember “Life was like a box of chocolate. You never know what you are gona get.” Here it's quoted and made some changes. Anderson(by Zeng Zhi-wei), is kindhearted. He's cheated and buy a house with his shop mortgaged. It didn't help him earn anything but lost his shop. He wanted to sell it and get the money back. However, he gave it up as he saw Mr. Wei had the same story as him. He refused to share the anger and grievance. Then a miracle comes. One occasional boom brought him a spring below the lawn at he front of his house. Fate changed and he became rich as he sold the spring water.
Big Movie, just a joke.

Baruto No Gakuen (2006)

A story happened in Japan during the First World War. It's directed by the Japanese, many of the German soldiers in the film were not Germans, but Hungarians, Russians, Norwegians, Swedes, Americans, British and Canadian people. They did so well except something on the pronouncing.
The German soldiers led a happy life after being transported to another prisoner-of-war camp. Matsue is in charge there. He is enlightened and glad to open to new things. He allowed the prisoners had their own newspaper and enjoyed their food like home. He found one who had escaped twice and returned back was a excellent baker. The baker adopted a German-Japan blood girl who's the daughter of one of his comrades in arms and he agreed to live in Japan as a baker. The chief knew how to win the trust of the prisoners and he showed them his kind heart.They of course put their faith in him. He refused to go to the prison by carriage every-day and he chose to ride a bicycle even thought he cannot turn around at the crossing and he had to get down and made a turning. He also let prisoners to teach pupils music, gym and so on. He did. When the budget was cut off, he tried all he could to ensure the supply. He brought his subordinates and the prisoners to the mountain to do logging and earned money. Matsue should have run a successful business if he were allowed as he had the ability to manage it.
This film is classified as history, but I don't know if it was a romance or based on a true story. It would be fine to let the Germans tell the story.

Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

What do we call hero? The one still alive or died in the war? Hero is something we created and something we needed. While people seldom remembered the dead ones but the live ones only. Soon all are going to be forgotten. There's no such thing is hero's.
Soliders would once in war always in war. They never got out. War leaves nothing but wounds. They oftern scared from dreams and cannot fall asleep again. All in their minds are images on the war field and their dead fellows.
It is out of my vision, quite different from what I thought to be. There is no too much frames about the battle but wandered from the reality to island, time and again. Most of them are after-war things.
You taste it you like it.

Seminary：What's the best time in your life?

It's been said that your high school years tend to be some of the best of your life, and that you will never again be as free of commotments and worries(Page 16, from Why Should White Guys Have All the Fun by Reginald F. Lewis and Blair S. Walker). It evokes me such a question.
Then what's ur opinion? When u were a infant, child or in primary school and so on. Most high school students aren't so happy as those in US, for their tough work and burden to pass the college entrance examnations. While I and some of classmates enjoyed ourselves in the first two years in our high school life. We can do what we want after class while the others still study hard day and night. Life became not easy till the last year and everyone always kept silent. It would mainly determine one's destination. Soon after the exams were over, all free. I would never forget the moment. I would never have it once again even though I felt like the just moment.

Shit rolls downhill

As they say in Missouri: Shit rolls downhill. By which we (Jack Stack and his fellows) mean change begins at the top. This adage means when something is wrong the blame goes to the subordiantes. Not all the native speakers know exactly. The more you read, the more you learn. you gotta wanna.

Still Life (2006)

Sanxia Haoren, with its English title Still Life, is directed by Zhang-ke Ja. It seems that Ja told us two totally isolated stroies. In fact, that two stories are tightly connected. These two both come from Shanxi and search for their family, San-ming Han(on the right hand on the post) for his wife and Tao Zhao(on the left hand side on the post) for her husband. The difference is that Zhao left her husband away and Han went home alone to earn money to pay his wife back. It is interesting that Ja is also from Shaxi and he always advertises his hometown in his films. Almost all stories is about people from Shanxi or just happened there. Another trivia is that Zhao is Ja's girlfriend and Han is Ja's cousin. He's previously a miner and this his second time in Ja's film while Zhao always show in Ja's films since his first one. People's life nearby the Dam on the Yangtze River is so tough. It is incredible that you pay for ￥1.2 for one day accommodation. People here don't share any happiness of the great dam building in their hometown. On the contrast, they are forced to leave from their neighborhood and go far away. They got little atonement for the immigration. Life is not easy and now it is more difficult. Han bought his wife at the price ￥ 3 000 (about $ 400) 18 years ago and she was rescued for it is illegal to buy or sell persons. They have a daughter and now she’s 16 years old. He wanted they two go home with him and his wife agreed. But now Han had to pay ￥30 000 for the debt from his brother in law. Such a poor guy had no enough money and had to do as a coal miner in the illegal mine. He did all he can to have his family together even though it's dangerous and may kill him there.
