Winds of September 九降風

This Tuesday I went to the Hui-Sun Auditorium to see a movie at about 10 o'clock. The movie is "Winds of September." I was touched by the movie. It was a national movie about 9 senior high school students who were bad students in teachers' and many classmates' point of view. They smoked, skipped classes together. However, they just like to express their true feeling and enjoy their youth. They did crazy things such as sneaking to the poll of school at night and then put off all the clothes jumping into water. They played and laughed together. They just like a machine, but if lose anyone then the machine cannot work well.

One day, the center of the machine, who is the protagonist 鄭希彥, was collided by a car. After one day, he was in a coma. Then the machine broke down gradually. The plot was very complicated, and the director wanted to bring us audiences happiness as well as sorrow.

I like the the name of the movie both in Chinese and English. In Chinese, 九降風is very attractive, butI do not know why. In English, Winds of September, it seems they 9 people are just like a stroke of wind in a short time, and then depart respectively for different direction. I recommend you to see the movie. You can experience the energy, rebellion, happiness, sorrow, and their youth in the movie. Many times we original students also want to do something crazy, but base on the reality, we cannot because we are afraid of being seemed as heretical ones. Therefore, we can only satisfy our wishes in movies. I think it was a movie worth seeing.They are all stuggle for something in their puberty...

NANA

Few days ago I watched a movie called NANA. I like the movie although the length of it was more than three hour. Ok~It was a too long for me. The plot was very fantastic. The backgrown was in autocratic period so those policemen had the right to do want they wantto do, such as ask the commeners for money. The first scene occoured in a market. Then the heroine appered.
Her name was Nana. She came out of a bar and ever be a prostitute. But afterward, her skill of performance was discovered by a selfish man, therefore she worked in a small theater. At first she acted and sang s oawfully that the audience yelled at her. But a young man shouted at them. He thought they should not do such rude thing. Therefore everyone gave her a chance to perform well. Finally everyone accepted her unique performance and gave her great applause.
As the plot going, almost every men who connected with the lady fell in love with her. In the course, she stressed although men can give her money, they could not give her true love. She slept with many men, it seemed she was a shallow girl. But she was not, she only lived for herself.At last when she was going to die, she finally realized a man who indeed loves her.
It was a sad ending, but I like it. You can see many eye contact in the film It was full of meanings.

PoNDer cHiLD vol.2

It was a music&vision live party. Yesterday, I went to Y-Chung Street with Clair. Our original tempt was to trim hair as well as shop. When evening, we bought something to eat, then we had to find seats. Around there, three people seemed like a band, one was playing guitar, another was singing, and the other was sending leaflets. In fact,the last one is a guitarist,too. their music appealed Clair and me, so after we knew they had an party the next day, we were moved. We also invited 2 male classmates who are interested in guitar to come with us. Wow~ the location was a pub, I never went to such place before, so I was very excited about the new experience. The advance ticket of Female was NT 300,but for two,one is free. Male ticket was NT300 each one.

Today, we four people went to the pub---Lobby Club. Upon stepping the place, I could find out the smell of cigarette immediately. I DON'T LIKE IT! What's more, the music was so loud that I tought I would become a deaf after the party. We needed to speak too LOUDLY to communicate.

There were three bands in total, the first one was in their first performance. I don't like the one very much because they always yelled and shouted, not sang songs, at least I think so. The second band was better. They had better ability and skills to get high the atmosphere. They also had more fans. The third band, which was the band I met yesterday. They had 5 members totally. I expected them to sing well like yesterday. However, today their singing style is totally differed from yesterday's. They also yelled and shouted. I DO NOT like to listen TOO many "shouted" songs in one day. So I was a little disappointed today. But at least this is my first time to go to pub. I think I would rather listen light music in outdoor concert than stay in the dark, noisy, and full of smell of cigarette place. Un... I think I am not the kind of person to be enjoyable in this kind of place. But I am happy about the first time to experience pub.

Madness and civilization

Yesterday I just uploaded my mid-term report of history, I read a book called Madness and Civilization. When I was in senior high, I have heard my history teacher tell about the book.
Madness and civilization is a book which is written by Michel Foucault. Although he studied philosophy as well as psychologist, many of Foucault's concerns might be described as "structuralist". Madness and Civilization was presented as his doctoral thesis in 1960, and was published in 1961. It is a deep and complex treatment of the role of madness in Western society. It begins by describing end of leprosy in Europe and the emergence of madness as a replacement for leprosy at the end of the Middle Ages. The book was devided to 9 chapters, the main ideas including aspects of mental, medical, economy, even society.
In my opinion, madness has something relationship with civilization. After I read the classical book, I think in society full of madness, reasonstill exist; in rational society, there is still madness. They appear simultaneously.
