Tokyo Sonata

Tokyo Sonata (IMDb), depressing -> uplifting = amazing.

SYNOPSIS

Set in contemporary Tokyo, TOKYO SONATA is a story of an ordinary Japanese family of four. The father, Ryuhei Sasaki, like any other Japanese businessman, is faithfully devoted to his work. His wife, Megumi, left on her own to manage the house, struggles to retain a bond with her oldest son in college, Takashi, and the youngest, Kenji, a sensitive boy in elementary school. From the exterior the family is seemingly normal, save for the tiny schisms that exist within.

The quiet unraveling of the family begins when Ryuhei loses his job unexpectedly. Facing completely unfamiliar circumstances, he decides not to tell his family and begins his lonely sojourn into the world of the secretly unemployed. Along with many other businessmen who save face by concealing their shameful reality from family and friends, Ryuhei begins to depart each day for work, when, in fact, he kills time in libraries and parks. His lies and torment go unnoticed by Takashi, who becomes increasingly despondent and alienated from his family, and Megumi, who can no longer summon the will to keep her family together.

Meanwhile, Kenji’s journey begins to mirror his father’s solitary plight. While Ryuhei vehemently refuses to allow Kenji to play the piano, he nevertheless finds a way to take clandestine piano lessons by using his school lunch money for lesson fees. What began as lies created as means to survive in a society increasingly unable to communicate, gradually lead the family into unforeseeable destruction.

In the hands of world famous director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, known for his thrillers and movies of suspense, this story probes the dark side of human nature and the social problems that confront contemporary Japan. Kurosawa’s portrayal of the breakdown and redemption of Japan’s “ordinary family” is every bit as gripping as his previous works.

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

This film portrays a very ordinary family in modern Japan. I started from a point where lies, suspicion and a complete breakdown of communication already have established themselves within the family. Without a doubt, this is “modern” and this is also “Japan.” However, I would like to show a glimmer of hope in the end. Can I do that? Even if I could do so, would that be something that saves a conventional family?

周立波上海海派清口《我为财狂》

差不多有将近70%的内容与《笑侃30年》重复。看过的就当消遣……再下面的是一段比较有意思的模仿。估计很快会被和谐……

周立波上海海派清口《笑侃三十年》

下面的这个是完整版，看完起码我是一直在笑，很多东西还是点到精髓了，不过在这边有些东西还是不能口无遮拦的，尽管周立波已经非常奔放了。如果喜欢周立波的这种类似于单口相声的风格，不妨去还可以去看看黄子华的栋笃笑。只不过从上海话变成了粤语，讽刺搞笑程度绝不比这个差=。=

许久没有更新，今天想上youtube来着，结果证实了youtube是彻底被这边封掉了，为了遏制极小部分视频就全盘封掉应该也是不得已的事情，毕竟这边还是有这边的政策……也就是说很多视频就无法直接看，trailer什么的国内很多视频网站上面是肯定找不到的。

也罢，挂代理吧，起码封的不是blogspot。再说了，说不定哪天解禁了你还不知道呢……阿Q一回。

周立波，1981年进入上海滑稽剧团，成名于80年代末，其表演风格独树一帜，融各派冷面滑稽于一体，又不失人文才情的调侃和嘲讽。这些年，周立波为了拓展自我局限，下过海、经过商、出过国，但始终牵挂着表演艺术。他在接受采访时说，我这么些年的生活积累，社会阅历一直在促使我寻找全新的，能表现现代海派演艺文化的突破点，机缘到了，我会重新站上舞台。果然，2008年底，由周立波创作的海派清口《笑侃三十年》在上海引起了强烈的轰动，一票难求。

《笑侃三十年周立波海派清口专场演出》是一个人、一张嘴、一台戏、一百五十分钟，盘点改革开放30年·衣·住·行！一票难求，连演三十场欲罢不能的火爆演出，余秋雨评价：一人之夜，一百年才出一个周立波！

三十年之诸多变数，小人可以变成大人，大人可以变成老人，老人可以变成先人，亲人可以变成仇人。好人可以变成坏人，坏人可以变成恶人。前苏联可以变成独联体，萨达姆可以变成吊死鬼。无产阶级可以变成有产阶级，有产阶级可以变成五保特困。散户可以变成大户，大户可以变成消户。980点可以变成6400点，6400点可以变成1200点。赤佬可以变成模子，模子可以变成赤佬。

Kalafina

2007年12月1日开始上映的七个章节连作剧场版《空之境界》的主题曲，将通过选拔新人女歌手来决定，并把此项活动命名为“Kalafina (Wiki) Project”。

其实在之前的『Revo＆梶浦由记Presents Dream Port 2008』的演出中，梶浦大神就有公开发表过：「Kalafina将会是一个无固定成员的团体。」而今后将会起用多位女性歌手！(就有点类似FictionJunction那样的形式。)

Doubt

"Doubt (IMDb) can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty."

"There is no evidence. There are no witnesses. But for one, there is no doubt."

台词没话说，表演没话说，对手戏更没话说。不过就故事本身而言稍微有点单薄，说服力还是欠点，毕竟是改编自话剧。

幕后制作

经典话剧的银幕翻拍

《虐童疑云》改编自约翰·帕特里克·斯坦利导演的百老汇戏剧，这部戏剧曾经拿下了普利策奖，一时间风光无限。这次将经典戏剧搬上银幕的，仍然是戏剧的导演。对于这部电影，约翰·帕特里克·斯坦利说：“将这部话剧拍成电影，最初的想法要简单得多，在话剧公映后，很多看过话剧的朋友都对我说，这个故事应该让更多人看到，而话剧的受众群毕竟要小得多，所以拍成电影是一个最简单的途径。而电影的展现力的确要比话剧更大，大家最关注的自然是几位演员的表演，而我还有另一个更重要的任务，就是和布景师商量，如何营造一个适合电影的氛围。因为1960年代的纽约，和现在有着比较大的区别，而这部戏的时代感有如此强烈，所以众多像模像样的布景就显得相当重要。这可经过了精心的准备，而最后出来的效果也令我很满意，真的很有那个时代的感觉，虽然我自己无时不刻都在提醒着，这些都只是布景而已，但那些家具和摆设，都的确是上了年纪的东西。电影版本还有一个最大的改动，就是要根据电影的特性，对故事和对白做相应的变化，毕竟不能让观众在影院觉得，他是在看一出舞台剧，这样的感觉会非常不好。”

提及本片的故事，约翰·帕特里克·斯坦利说：“ 话剧版本曾经引起过一定的争议，大家对这个故事都有着自己不同的看法。有人说，这个故事是在玷污宗教，我想这样说是不太客观的。我本人也是一个信教的人，不过这并不妨碍我思考与宗教有关的一些问题。影片中发生的故事来自于一个真实的案例，而这样的事件现在揭露得越来越多，但奇怪的是，过去为什么如此少呢？我想很大一部分原因是过去的教会在刻意隐瞒这些事情。这种做法显然是相当不公的，但是我拍摄本片的意图，也并非批判教会的做法有什么问题，毕竟事情已经过去很久了。在这个故事里，我想和观众探讨的是更深层次的东西，有关宗教的信仰等等各个方面。而在这个年代，再回过头去看当年那段历史，大家应该更有自己的看法。”


影帝影后的银幕对决

《虐童疑云》的主演阵容可谓相当强大，扮演追查真凶的修女和劣迹斑斑的神父，分别由奥斯卡影后梅丽尔·斯特里普与影帝菲利普·塞默·霍夫曼所担任主演。而《虐童疑云》选择在12月公映，电影公司对奥斯卡的野心显然也暴露无疑。对于本片中的修女角色，梅丽尔·斯特里普说：“ 这个角色的故事很有张力，同时能够出演一位修女也是让我很感兴趣的事，尤其当这部电影还是改编自那么出名的百老汇戏剧之时。导演是一个工作一丝不苟的人，每场戏开拍之前，我们都会坐在一起分析整个故事的发展，对剧情和对白提出相应的意见。我们也参考了话剧中几位演员的演出，他们演得真的很好，所以希望大家对于电影版本也一样的抱着期待去欣赏吧。”

菲利普·塞默·霍夫曼凭借《卡波特》拿下了奥斯卡的小金人，这次出演的是具有相当大争议的角色，他认为：“这个角色的确不是什么‘好人’，他有着种种劣行，这也是梅丽尔·斯特里普的角色在片中一直追查的真相。在影片里我和梅丽尔·斯特里普有很多场对手戏，我和她的角色一个是正面积极的，一个则是反面，显得很阴暗。这种对立感在整部电影里从头到尾都存在着，我们也在努力营造这种氛围。可以说我和梅丽尔·斯特里普在片场没少发脾气，不过仅限于戏内！（笑）观众肯定不会喜欢我扮演的这个角色，不过大家应该能够感受到这个角色在那个时代所赋予的更多特殊的意义。”

Lie to Me

Lie to Me (IMDb)

The average person tells three lies in ten minutes of conversation.

DR. CAL LIGHTMAN (Tim Roth, "The Incredible Hulk," "Reservoir Dogs") can detect the truth by analyzing a person's face, body, voice and speech. When someone shrugs his shoulder, rotates his hand or raises his lower lip, Lightman knows he's lying. By analyzing facial expressions, he can read feelings - from hidden resentment to sexual attraction to jealousy. But as Lightman well knows, his scientific ability is both a blessing and a curse in his personal life, where family and friends deceive each other as readily as criminals and strangers do. Lightman is the world's leading deception expert, a scientist who studies facial expressions and involuntary body language to discover not only if you are lying but why.

From writer Samuel Baum ("The Evidence") and the executive producers of 24 and "Arrested Development" comes LIE TO ME, a compelling new drama series inspired by the scientific discoveries of Dr. Paul Ekman, a real-life specialist who can read clues embedded in the human face, body and voice to expose both the truth and lies in criminal investigations.

Lightman heads a team of experts at The Lightman Group who assist federal law enforcement, government agencies and local police with their most difficult cases. DR. GILLIAN FOSTER (Kelli Williams, "The Practice") is a gifted psychologist and Lightman's professional partner who brings balance to the partnership by looking at the bigger picture while Lightman focuses on the details. He needs her guidance and insight into human behavior, whether he knows it or not. ELI LOKER (Brendan Hines, TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES) is Lightman's lead researcher, who is so uncomfortable with the human tendency to lie that he's decided to practice what he calls "radical honesty." He says everything on his mind at all times and often pays the price. RIA TORRES (Monica Raymund, "Law and Order: SVU") is the newest member of the agency, and one of the few "naturals" in the field of deception detection. She has a raw, untrained ability to read people that makes her a force to be reckoned with.

Samuel Baum, Brian Grazer, David Nevins and Steven Maeda serve as executive producers on the series, which is produced by Imagine Television and 20th Century Fox Television. Robert Schwentke directed the pilot.
