心得：
心目中最完美的螢幕情侶終於再續前緣了。我的Leonardo DiCaprio和Kate Winslet！！
早上一起床就迫不及待的把它看完，至於來源嘛...哈哈, you know.

我很喜歡很喜歡這次的海報設計，
繼上次「ただ、君を愛してる」的海報之後，好久沒有看到這麼讓人覺得溫馨感人的海報了。
還是我對於這樣的pose擺設很沒有抵抗力？↓




這部電影，沒有Titanic的浪漫，更甭說有ただ、君を愛してる的純真幻想。
有的，是現實、是殘酷、是生存。
看完整部片後，第一個想罵的就是海報設計者了！你們你們，海報那麼唯美劇情卻給我...（消音中）

well...I think the quote can precisely depict the central core of this movie:

April Wheeler: I wanted IN. I just wanted us to live again. For years I thought we've shared this secret that we would be wonderful in the world. I don't know exactly how, but just the possibility kept me hoping. How pathetic is that? So stupid. To put all your hopes in a promise that was never made. Frank knows what he wants, he found his place, he's just fine. Married, two kids, it should be enough. It is for him. And he's right; we were never special or destined for anything at all.

很發人省思的一部戲，尤其是在寒假無所事事閒的發慌的時候，會讓你想些什麼。
蟋蟀也被困在其中的黑洞。

尤其是患有精神病患的John Givings說的一字一句，針針見血，讓Frank啞口無言時。
我們都深深的被攫住了。為了生存，然後心靈的自由漸漸被困住。
我們都知道這是錯的，卻又深陷其中，如同吸食毒品般，無法自拔。

最近很多書本都開始探討這樣的生活態度。
不只針對夫妻，也針對個人、上班族、女性。
工作，本該是為了幸福，卻在不知不覺中，取代了「幸福」的目的，手段成了「目標」，我們越過越痛苦。

每個人都該尋求些什麼，做些什麼是只為開心而不為利益目的。
我可以很開心的說我有這樣的嗜好。
尋尋覓覓中，找到了「你們」。

今年是我的電影年。
我想從視覺藝術中繼續尋找我的人生旅途的tips。

看看你們，看看他們，看看自己。
有豐收也有貧乏。

但是唯一要做的事就是，微笑，繼續微笑。
