Born in Blood...This is FATE.

DEXTER Season 4 Finale


未看DEXTER s4 Finale之前,如果你問我最喜歡的美劇是那一套,我會毫不猶豫答Six Feet Under,但看了這集really took my breath away的s4 Finale之後,我會反問可唔可以揀兩套?
事實上,如果問題twist一twist,變成你會揀邊套美劇介紹給朋友睇,DEXTER甚至會贏Six Feet Under,因為DEXTER的題材絕對比Six Feet Under大眾化,情節也更緊張刺激,卻同時有不少令人深思之處。

DEXTER season 4講的是Dexter與另一serial killer Trinity的對決。
在上一個season結了婚的Dexter在半季已成為一個有嬌妻有兒女的family man,要繼續暗夜屠夫的生活自然困難得多。於是,我們在s4看到一向冷靜、冇情緒、深思細密、零犯錯的Dexter變得暴燥、衝動、out of control,而必然的結果是:犯錯。雖然犯的錯沒有其他人發現,但足以令Dexter明白,長此下去,他終會有失手的一天,他深愛的家庭與他的dark secret並不能長久並存。
同時,從Trinity身上,Dexter看到了自己,他害怕自己終於會變成和Trinity一樣,對家人做成無可挽救的傷害。

Season 4毫無疑問係咁多季DEXTER之中最出色的一季,尤其是個結局,完全係冇諗過,我呢世人睇咁耐電視,呢個finale可真是最出人意表,同時令人拍案叫絕!

"The dark passenger’s been fighting against it, trying to keep me all to himself, but it’s my turn now - to get what I want, to embrace my family. And maybe one day not so long from now, I’ll be rid of the dark passenger."

"I thought I could change what I am, keep my family safe. But it doesn’t matter what I do, what I choose, I’m what’s wrong. This is fate."

兩段對白出現的時間前後不過兩分鐘,轉折卻是如此之大。由月色的皎潔到血色的腥紅,震撼的現實與往事的畫面重疊交錯,絕望的對白道出最絕望的真相:這是無可違抗的宿命。

節目推介 - 薇微語


又一個非常出色但因為是在亞視播而冇乜人知的港台節目。
如果佢最尾一集唔係訪問高錕太太高黃美芸而被報紙廣泛報導,我就要錯過這好節目了。

推薦集數:

29/09/2009 第一集 - 倪匡: 網上重溫
倪匡,少年嚮往共產黨平等、均富的理想,隻身由上海北上內蒙古參加解放軍,但失望地發覺軍中生活階級觀念森嚴、特權處處。他南逃他鄉,歷盡有家歸不得之苦,最後輾轉流落香港,從此樂得做一個無災無難的自由人。
轉眼五十多個寒暑過去,面對中華人民共和國六十周年國慶,倪匡除慶幸自己仍是自由人外,對祖國數十年變化及經濟成長依然無動於衷,不願「回去」一看,亦沒有半句建言。受了傷害的心靈,只希望能夠保障個人的自由。國家大事,自覺無力挽...


年少時期很喜歡看倪匡的衛斯理及原振俠系列小說,當時只覺科幻題材吸引,情節引人入勝,今日回想起來,當中主角不畏強權,磊落瀟灑的人生態度,可能已在不經不覺之間影響了我的價值觀。
倪先生是個妙人,聽他談政治、講人生,雖然到不了他那看透世情、隨心所欲的境界,卻依然是一大享受。

13/10/2009 第三集 - 何喜華: 網上重溫
何喜華在社會服務組織工作三十年,比較早年及目前香港基層生活卻是今非昔比。他說,以前只要肯努力就有出頭希望,但現在貧富懸殊愈加嚴重,基層想找一份工作亦不容易。高官個個知道問題嚴重,只是一籌莫展。他說到失望之處哽咽失聲。他在「薇微語」第三集中,細訴香港社會政策日漸走向「不公義」。

生於這沒有希望、缺乏公義的悲情世代,低下階層苦苦掙扎求存,即使從早到晚辛苦工作也未必夠糊口。沒有人願去了解窮人的苦況,卻樂於將他們標籤為不努力的懶人。經濟越加發展,政府卻更見涼薄,如果經濟發展的成果只惠及極少數人,而大部分人只能活得更苦,我們為什麼還要盲目追求這樣的經濟增長呢?
何喜華先生多年來堅持不懈的為低下階層發聲,實在叫人肅然起敬。

27/10/2009 第五集 - 周秀娜: 網上重溫
周秀娜 , 一個灼熱爭議的少女模特兒 , 她是在敗壞社會風氣 ? 教壞年輕人 ? 還是本身就是現今教育制度下的一個犧牲者 , 但又力圖再站起來的倔強之人 ? 不同的朋友對今集訪問人物有不同的眼光 , 我們也直接向她詢問上述的問題 , 觀眾看完節目後 , 自然會有自己的判斷...

對某大學邀請周秀娜出席講座,卻處處以艱澀的學術用語來難倒對方感到反感嗎?請看李小薇這訪談。由一開始feel到周小姐有著很大的戒心,到後來卸下保衛盔甲,坦然訴說自己的想法,真誠的訪問就是如此,叫被訪者和觀眾都感到舒服。
一向欣賞周秀娜,她知道自己想要甚麼、在做甚麼,目標清晰,行動精確,實在令我佩服。加油周秀娜,I support you!!!

01/12/2009 第十集 - 練乙錚: 網上重溫
信報主筆,曾為董建華特區政府出謀劃策既前政府中央政策組顧問練乙錚, 對中國及香港政治問題以及傳媒取向演變,有獨特精闢的見解同深刻既體會。 年輕時思想左傾的他,面對現在中國大陸、香港及台灣的不同政治環境轉變 , 練乙錚現在會有怎樣的傾向及建言呢?香港傳媒被批評為日趨保守,身在其中他又有怎樣的看法?

看這集前完全不知道有練乙錚這個人,真是孤陋寡聞。練先生對現今政治的解讀,其實和倪先生說的非常相近,分別只在於倪先生對政權徹底失望,而練先生則樂觀地認為他依然有希望看到民主自由在本國實現的一天。這是五十歲與七十歲的分別嗎?希望練先生是對的吧!

22/12/2009 第十三集 - 高黃美芸: 網上重溫
當全世界的目光 , 都聚焦在光纖之父高錕身上的時候 , 有誰想起 , 在過去五十年 , 一位默默站在高錕背後的女士 --- 黃美芸 --- 一位堅強而溫柔的女士 , 是如何犧牲自己 , 為的就是要成就他...
這段婚姻 , 由美芸付出無比勇氣開始 ; 高錕的驚世發明 , 由美芸無限支持 , 忍耐 , 包容下 , 得以成就 . 今天面對著患病 , 已經 " 返老還童 " 的摯愛 , 外人看來天真無邪的畫面 , 看在美芸眼中 , 卻是心如刀割...


這一集,叫人看得流下眼淚。執子之手,與子皆老,就是像美芸與高教授這樣子吧!

My Life 2009 vs 2005

我有一個習慣,就是逢大時大節時click下當年今日自己在xanga上寫了些甚麼。
在2005年的聖誕前後,我post了這個life quiz,無聊地,我決定在2009年的今天再做一次,看看結果有咩唔同。

我的Life score低了,由合格變成不合格。
Break down每個環節睇,除了Finance有顯著增長外,其他不是more or less the same就是差了。
跌得最慘的是Mind score,由not bad變low。

當然明白這類型的quiz都不過是鬧著玩罷了,不過用mind score去換finance score,個total life score仲要跌jor,哈哈,都真係幾諷刺。

Atheromatosis

Stephen Gately died from heart failure:
Boyzone singer Stephen Gately died from heart failure, an autopsy report confirmed today. It is thought the 33-year-old had an undiagnosed heart condition, and it was this that caused him to collapse after a night out in Majorca on 10 October. The condition, known as atheromatosis, causes the arteries to thicken. Tragically, it's also thought that the late star's partner Andy was most likely asleep next to Stephen for several hours after he died. Both Andy and the student they invited back to their apartment that night agree Stephen was "very drunk", but scientists have ruled out either alcohol or drugs as a contributing factor in the star's death. It was simply due to his heart condition. We still can't believe lovely Stephen has gone.

R.I.P. Brittany Murphy


Brittany Murphy's sudden death at age 32 reminds me what happened in Oct. All those feelings just come up in my mind once again. I'm not a fan of Brittany (although I love her movie “Love and Other Disasters”), however, in these few days, I can't help following the news about her death. It's like Oct all over again, it's hard, especially around Christmas.
