25 mayo 社会责任感的叹息放假了，有闲来晚上看PBS的一个节目评论中国的各种基本社会问题：农民，艾滋病，法制，环境等等。其中有不少社会学家，法学家进行了对这些社会现象的评论。这些好像突然一下让人（至少是我）从对中国股票，房市，经济增长的一片大好憧憬中冷静下来，感慨社会悬殊如此之大。几乎每一个我认识的最近到过中国的外国朋友第一感慨都是贫富悬殊太大，第二感慨是没想到那么多有钱人。 记得已经是几年前了， 在国内有天晚上和朋友从歌剧院听完法国大提琴师的音乐会一出来就看见马路天桥上凄惨的拉二胡要饭的。当时心里抽抽了一下，可还是按照以前在国内的生活习惯绕开要饭的赶快走掉了，但心里觉得有些罪恶感。 后面过了几天，习惯了街边要饭的人们也就慢慢习惯了与罪恶感共生。 我不得不对自己的卑微而忏悔：一方面保持着各种小资的恶习，另一方面每每看到媒体上对社会问题的揭露时又觉得自己的社会责任感在叹息。 还是那句话说得好：人离终点越近时就越关心自己的灵魂。我大概开始向终点踏步前进了。 13 mayo 父母在，不远游刚才在MITBBS上看到一篇文章说自己作过校长的爷爷去世了，很难受，想到父母也渐老，远游在外到底是为了什么。有人回答说：父母在，不远游。 一下子让我想起了2002年夏天出国后第一次回国，也是最后一次看到曾经是校长的外婆。接着就是2002年岁末外婆去世了。于是我爷爷奶奶那一代的人是一个都不剩了。 母亲的心态一下子变老了， 感慨自己以后也会是那样。我的心态也随之变老了，觉得该对自己以后的生活负点责任了， 觉得人活着不是为了自己还有身边的人。一转眼，四年多恍过去了。 父母在，不远游。 总是说着终归要回去的，也许到那时父母已经不在了。 10 mayo SF 电影节结束了To summarize the 5 films I saw. 0. The Other Half (China) Didn't get the chance to see it, hope I could have. 1.Slumming (Austria/Switzerland): A story of the life of a rich young lad and a homeless old fart, a process to find themselves and where they stand in life. This film is my favorite among the five. It has very unique and poetricaly sophisticated story telling. The rap at the beginning and the end of the film is like a mad dreamer's murmuring echoing in my mind. The rap is extremely powerful, those are exactly the words you want to shout out while taking a subway at night. Highly recommended! 2.Sound of Sand (Belgium/France) In the desert water is life. This is a family's journey to survive. 3.Orange Revolution (Ukraine) A doc film of the revolution in Ukraine in winter 2004. That's an unforgettable winter in deep snow, it was the time that I was hopelessly depressed while hectic with job applications, doing boring and endless research, and personal crisis with where I was going and where my life was. At the same time, one friend from Ukraine worried about this Orange Revolution going on in her country, which inspired our deep conversations about ... the usuals... hope, life and love. And here it is now, mess media follows up social events so quickly that it's already on the screen. One thing I was so impressed is that rock bands played a significant role in their politics. The film featured three bands and THE popular rap during the revolution. 4. Silly Age (Cuba) Again, a story of social change, and this time it's Cuba. A boy's memory of that time and life with his mom and grandma. It seems very Italian though and reminds me of 'Molina'. 5. Along the Ridge (Italy) This is a real Italian film featuring a falling apart family. A family of a single dad, two kids, and a constantly running away mom (because her 'pussy always itches for more' as the dad put it in the film). The performances of the father and the little son are the treasure of the film. While waiting in line in the women's bathroom after the film, I picked up one woman's talk to another: 'There are a lot of shouting... huh ... in the film.' I was quite surprised that it could be described in such a way. Anyway, if you have dived into the fabricated emotional frustrations you wouldn't have cared about the volume of the shouts. |
