Happy Father's Day




We held a dinner party to celebrate the Fatyer's Day yesterday.
Even though Typhoon Morakot was coming, all my family member were present at. I thought my father was very happy. How come? My younger brother got a good job two month ago...so my father didn't worry about his son's job anymore! My father facial expression made me happy....

I really appreciated my father. To be honest, he is my stepfather. Although he is not my birth father...he took care my mom , my sisters and me. How to describe he? He looks very strict...I remembered my mom told me that our neighbors were afraid of him. Ha...Ha... I rarely talk to him! We don't talk to each other...but I like him. He was a veteran so he do everything methodically... Such as he get up at five and goes to bed at nine every day! I admire him for his abiding habit. He didn't have a good education ...I was really surprised he could have rich knowledge. Maybe he is a strict person but he is responsible. I thought he was really happy on Father's Day this year...I gave a big red envelop to him...Happy Father's Day!!! Thank you vrey much....I love you!!!

Ummm...Yesterday was my husband's holiday! He was very happy because my sons and I bought shirts and a tie for him! He is a hardworker...and a good father,too! Although he is busy, he drive kids to school everyday. He always says whatever he is busy, he just wants to eat dinner with us. My friends don't believe that he is a good father... They think he is busy and fun-loving !! How can he improve his image? Ha....Ha...
I appreciated him! He seems like Superman who can do everything. Thank you!
By the way...we saw a great movie named "UP" yesterday...I envied that their sweet relationship from contented marriage to old age.

Finally, I want to say somthing about Typhoon Morakot. We got two days off due to Typhoon Morakot. When I was young I liked typhoon, because I didn't have to go to school on that day. But I don't really like typhoon now...it always cause mudflows and landslides so many people will be homeless and have great damage.
I pray for south Taiwan.

The reader


I saw a great movie named "The reader" (為愛朗讀)yesterday. It based on the best-selling novel. First off, let me start by saying I never read the book, or know it existed before seeing this movie.It is not about a love story, though there is a beautiful, sexy love story depicted in it. It is about the transformative power of art, in particular, in this case, literature. I saw the other movie "Revolutionary Road"(真愛旅程) that Kate Winslet palyed lately...But I love "The reader" more. What an amazing career for Kate Winslet...So, I am not surprised that she win the Academy Award best actress.

This story begin a teenage Michael gets off because he is feeling sick and wanders around the streets afterwards, finally pausing in the entryway of a nearby apartment building where he vomits. Hanna Schmitz, the tram conductor, comes in and assists him in returning home. The 36 year old Hanna seduces and begins an affair with the 15 year old boy. During their liaisons, at her apartment, he reads to her literary works he is studying. After a bicycling trip, Hanna learns she is being promoted to a clerical job at the tram company. She abruptly moves without leaving a trace. The adult Michael, a lawyer, at Heidelberg University law school in 1966. As part of a special seminar taught by Professor Rohl, a camp survivor, he observes a trial of several women who were accused of letting 300 Jewish women die in a burning church when they were SS guards on the death march following the 1944 evacuation of Auschwitz. Hanna is one of the defendants. Stunned, Michael visits a former camp himself. The trial divides the seminar, with one student angrily saying there is nothing to be learned from it other than that evil acts occurred and that the older generation of Germans should kill themselves for their failure to act then. But Michael is conflicted on what to do, if to speak out on Hannah's behalf on some of her innocence. Is that Hanna's want? Maybe she just wnats to keep her secret...she is a illiterate person!!!

So, if someone love you and he or she's twice your age... First, Do you accept? Second, Do you forgive him or her even if you are also deeply affected after breaking up with you. However, after several years these feelings still hurt you and suddenly discovered that he or she was an executioner, and you make her testimony against life imprisonment, are you, what to do? Another qutstion that I don't understand why Hanna kill herself? Maybe she think that Michael still loving her so that he sent tapes to her. Finally, she is very disappointed and hopeless. She know that it is too late and their love is over! I think Michael is a good man. He wants to help Hanna who become older and ugly!! Everyone know men who like young and sexy women...right? And someone say men's loyalty to women never wavered....That's right!!!
Whatever how old men are... they like sisters...正妹.辣妹. 學生妹.傳播妹.酒店妹.巨乳妹.無敵珊寶妹...........

Overall, watch this film for the effects of past-WWII on the people left behind, to appreciate the changing years and landscape of Germany and most of all to experience award-worthy Kate Winslet, David Kross & Ralph Fiennes acting skills. Umm...I tell about the WWII and I want to recommend another movie... Valkyrie(行動代號:華爾奇麗雅)!It's much better than I think and It's worth seening this movie.

I found a comment about this movie and I like it. I posted it below..

鐵達尼號的 Rose 終於一嘗宿願,以 The Reader 一片拿下今年的奧斯卡最佳女主角,不得不說凱特溫斯蕾挑劇本的用心。這部片的原著是第一本被歐普拉選書納入的外文小說,在德國以及世界都有廣大的讀者。作者是德國法官Bernhard Schlink徐林克,從一個法律系學生的角度旁聽納粹戰犯的審判的故事。
原著是一本很薄的小說,拿到手的時候,不禁有點懷疑?想像中改編成電影的小說都很厚,或許是因為導演常抱怨故事情節太豐富,不知道該怎麼刪減的緣故。
故事描述因病休學的小男孩偶然結識了車掌小姐漢娜。這段戀情讓男孩長成大人,成為終身揮之不去的記憶。男孩時時去找漢娜,兩人甚至冒充母子一起出門旅遊。但最多的時間,是男孩朗讀詩歌、小說等給漢娜聽。漢娜奇怪的要求讓男孩有點困惑,但很快地就發現經過朗讀,反而把生硬的教科書記得更熟,功課反而進步了。某日漢娜突然的不告而別卻留下許多迷團……
直到男孩成為法律系學生在審判納粹戰犯的法庭旁聽,才在戰犯中再一次遇見漢娜。
原告是一對猶太母女,她們是某個女子集中營僅存的生還者。當時戰事已到尾聲,集中營的猶太人被遷移到鄉村教堂看守。夜裡教堂突然發生大火,身為守衛的漢娜與其他納粹女官卻不予理會。直到教堂燒毀殆盡,僅剩下母女兩人劫後餘生!
法官反覆盤問戰犯當時情況,質問為什麼當時任由猶太人活活燒死?其他納粹戰犯將罪行歸咎到漢娜,而漢娜也放棄辯解,簽下不利的筆錄。
旁聽的男孩想不通為什麼漢娜要承擔罪過?簽下與供詞不符的紀錄?直到最後才瞭解漢娜是一個文盲,所做的一切是為了掩飾這個秘密。會到集中營工作也是為了放棄車掌的升遷,對她來說監獄的無期徒刑也比不上被人知道文盲秘密的痛苦。男孩原想要去跟法官揭露此事,但為了脫罪承認文盲對漢娜來說是否更殘酷?
本書探討二次世界大戰後,德國人如何面對舉世的指責。新生代的德國人沒有經歷過納粹統治,卻擺脫不了原罪的壓力。以漢娜的案件來說,這些納粹女官是遵守上級的命令,在當時的法律下是沒有錯的,但法律到戰後改變,他們的行為反而變成犯法。追究因為法律標準改變而變成罪行的往事,是否有意義?
大火的夜裡,除了看守人,村裡其他見死不救的村民是否難辭其咎?用道德標準來說,這些村民也是共犯不是嗎?當納粹濫殺猶太人的時候,接受這些的德國百姓是否也是共犯?法律的意義是否只能保護當代的人?新時代的新標準是否將帶來更多審判?
猶太人的苦難因著好萊塢電影放送全世界,連德國新生代也是從電影裡知道那段歷史。生活在二戰時代的德國人往往不願意多發表意見,下意識地逃避全世界的指責與辱罵,背負整個社會都是共犯的原罪。德國後來幾次學運,年輕人無法理解當時父母怎麼可以坐視納粹?甚至是參與納粹的活動,成為幫兇,於是徹底切割跟父母的關係。父母也很難解釋當時心裡狀況,整個社會像是著魔一樣。即便是德國一般民眾,也很害怕殺人不眨眼的納粹。是因為恐懼而服從?還是因為群眾沈默的默認而接受?
是非對錯應該由誰來定義?如果教育可以幫助你判斷,教育的內容是不是成為決定的因素?如果被灌輸了錯誤的觀念而犯罪,是被灌輸者的錯嗎?男孩試著去參觀集中營遺址,想要感覺電影裡強烈的壓力,但荒湮漫草的倉庫、空地,激不起他任何感覺。如此冷淡如此麻痺是否也是一種錯?
除了猶太人與德國人之外,世界其他國家已開始淡忘這段故事。但德國人還在追究戰犯,是否藉由懲罰這些人,可以洗刷其他人的罪惡?可是當過去在法庭上反覆質詢、辯論之後,連旁聽的人也開始麻痺,第一次聽到的那種激動、不敢置信,
漸漸轉化成公式化的法律語言。刺激太多次之後就是接受,是人類的保護機制還是苟且偷生的慾望作祟?
漢娜被判終生監禁。第八年開始,成為法律研究人員的男孩開始寄錄音帶為她朗讀。透過錄音帶,漢娜吃力地開始學習認字。直到有一天,長大了的男孩收到了一張字條……
為了這個秘密,漢娜賠上了一生。男孩不明白,如果可以為了掩飾秘密而付出這麼大的代價,為什麼不早點開始學習認字,不就什麼問題都沒有了嗎?是因為維護一個秘密已經成為人生的任務?還是面對的勇氣已經因為龐大的代價而消磨殆盡
人,是多麼奇怪又矛盾的生物啊
