这是我的Blog上的第一篇英文文章,在公司进行English Training时老师推荐了一部影片,《死亡诗社》,又名《春风化雨》,看了还有点感觉,随便写写,顺便也当写个了作业可以贴到Training的Online Forum中,一举两得啦。
It’s our English Training teacher Adam-Paul who suggested us to watch the film “Dead Poets Society”. I did hear about this film before but there was nothing special could push me to see this particular film – there are so many wonderful films I haven’t seen, why I have to choose this?
Adam said that this film is about teacher who wants to break the old rules of the school and do some creative things in his teaching. This makes me interested in this film because this recalls me about the film I saw half a year ago: “Les Choristes”. It’s also a film about school and teacher.
I started to watch this film seriously, because I knew this film is talking about some hard things. Also I didn’t pay too much hope on this film, I really didn’t want to be disappointed if the film is not as good as I thought. I found my worries was really unnecessary once the film began, and immediately I decided to write something after watching the film.
I don’t want to write down the story the film told us, since there is already too much comments for this on the Internet. I just want to write some of my feelings, may be it’s not the core of the film, but I have noticed that and I just want to write down.
The first thing I want to say is about music. When I watch the “Les Choristes”, the music of the film has impressed me a lot. Not only the “Künstlerleben Walzer” (Artist’s Life Waltz) of Jonhann Strauss II in that film is one of my favorite music pieces but also the songs from the children are very impressive. For this “Dead Poets Society”, more kinds of music elements has been arranged in the film. There are classical music like Beethoven’s Symphonies and Piano Concertos and Handel’s Water Music, as well as some pop music with different styles, Rocks, Blues, R&B etc. These different types of music make the film to behave in different rhythms and tells different feelings of the story. For emxample, when the boys are playing football, the Beethoven’s Symphony No 9 (Chorus) begins, this let me feel the strength of the music and the passions of the boys. The Blues on the party let people feel the joyfulness of the party and the unpeace environment. Also when saxophone sounds in the cave with poems read out, it’s really great.
Besides music, there are also many elements in the film can recall my memory and give me much impression.
The first one is “Discipline”. I learnt this word in the film “The Shawshank Redemption” which I have watched no less than eight times. In that film, the warden Norton said “I believe in two things. Discipline and the Bible.”, and later Red said “These walls (the symbol of ‘discipline’) are funny. First you hate them, then you get used to them. After long enough, you get so you depend on them.”, and at last Andy break the discipline with the help of the Bible. These two films are telling us to break the disciplines. There are too many disciplines in our lives, the laws, the rules, the beliefs, the customs, etc. Those disciplines are limiting our actions, especially those disciplines we defined for ourselves. To break a discipline is really a hard thing, but we have to try and don’t be afraid of mistakes or failures. In this way, we can make more progresses.
The second one is “speak out your opinion”. I am always a good listener and a bad talker. Sometimes this is because I have no idea about what to say and sometimes it is just to be afraid to say my own opinion. I met a person on the Internet and become friends last year because both of us are fond of the “Neujahrskonzert der Wiener Philharmoniker” (Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s New Year’s Concert). He is a real fan of classical music, but I always position myself as the pseudo-fan of music. When he is talking his feelings of certain music pieces, he can talk and talk, so many feelings to talk. But I have to listen, I wonder why he can say so much while I can say nothing. I always use the reason “I’m new to classical music” to give myself the explanation. Until last month, he was guiding me to listen to the Symphony 9 of Beethoven, he asked me “What is you feeling about this?” I really feel ashamed to always reply such question as “Nothing special”, so I forced myself to think about the music more and said my feelings. “Wonderful! Who said you are a pseudo-fan of classical music?”, he praised me. Suddenly, I found it’s really not a difficult thing to express oneself. What you have to do is just think more about things and try to be brave. It’s really important to speak out one’s opinion which can make the communication two-way and more effective.
Neil’s suicide was what I didn’t expected. I always prefer the Hollywood’s Happy End. I think the director arranged this was want us to feel shock of victims, a victim of the family education and oneself. Neil is alway want to be a good child in family, so he is always hesitate to say out his own opinion and finally causes the terrible thing happened.
In this film, different students with different characteristics reflects different aspects of people. I have learnt many things from them, may be it’s just difficult to express all these feeling in words. The timid Todd in the film may have the nearest characteristics with me, so when I watching the film, I really hope he can become much braver and get more passion. This is also what I want for myself, I’m encouraging him and encouraging myself.
As the title told us, there is many beautiful poems in the film. The English poet Lord Byron is mentioned in film several times, although my English name is the same as his last name, to tell the truth, I have forgotten all the poems after I finished the film. I believe I will watch this film in the future, I think I can better understand these poets at that time.
It seems that I have missed the most important person – the teacher Keating – in my article. Yes, to be a discipline-breaker is hard. I remember a debate on the Internet between Jing Xuliang from Bejing Institution of Technology and Yuan Feng these days about how to teach computer science and technology in college. Jing thinks that practice is the most important thing and Yuan thinks that theory is the foundation and must be the most important thing. To be a good teacher is difficult, you have to learn more and face different situations. Especially you want to break the tradition way of teaching, you need much courage. Keating told the students to call him “Oh, captain, my captain”, it’s a title of a poem written by Walt Whitman. I didn’t know this, and this let me remember another film about teachers, students and disciplines – The Sound of Music. In that film, the Captain Georg von Trapp changed lot and break many disciplines with the help of the governess Maria. In this film, I think, “Captain” means the one who will gives you the right direction.
Still many things to say, but I’d like to stop here. I wish you can feel the film by yourself.
The “Dead Poets Society” is a special film, it has neither exciting stories nor shocking visions, and it also doesn’t have too many moving sight. But it tastes like a cup of coffee, you feel the strength of the film and you will feel like to see it for more times.

很久没有写Blog了,自从上一篇Blog预告了打算写一点影片感后观后,一直没有闲下来去真正实施这个计划,就暂时搁浅一下吧。两周前发现了豆辧 (www.douban.com)这个网站,感觉这个网站的创意还是不错的,所以就注册了一下,并把自己看过的电影、听过的音乐、读过的书、去过的地方在 上面进行了登记,当然这是一个浩大的工程,慢慢完善吧。因为发现了这个网站,所以决定以后如果开始写影片的观后感的话就直接去那里写了,可能CC一份在 Blog上吧,嗯,这个事情再说……
作为惯例吧,在我了解到新的一年的维也纳新年音乐会的曲目情况的时候,我会写一篇Blog,前两年的在我在CSDN的Blog上可以找到,由于Live Space是今年才启用的,所以这是在Live Space上的第一篇有关这个话题的文章。
这次新年音乐会的消息公布的似乎特别早,仅仅是11月初,DG网站就发布了新一年的新年音乐会的CD封面和曲目单(我是从魔术号角的网站看到相关的信息的,DGG官方的还没找到),一起来看看:

今年的指挥是印度指挥家祖宾·梅塔,他曾经在1990,1995和1998年三次指挥维也纳新年音乐会。我第一次欣赏他的演出是1998年,在那年的演出中,他戴上了火车司机的帽子吹起了小喇叭,让人忍俊不禁。
从曲目数量上来说,今年没有像前几年一样年年追求更多的数量,而是选择了18首这个比较合适的数目,相信指挥和乐团就没有必要赶场子把演奏的速度加快了。
从选曲上说,用2002年刚刚作为开场曲演奏的op. 456作为开场、用演了又演的护林员序曲作为下半场的开场似乎引来网友们颇多的微词,而演了又演且2003年才演过的op. 212也是让不少一直关注维也纳新年音乐会的乐迷表现出了失望。但撇开这几个曲子不谈,其它的曲子的安排我个人还是挺满意的。首先,这次有五首新的曲子出 现(就是上面曲目单中没有标中文曲名的那几个。这个是以我个人的认知范围来评说的,据说Josef的op. 52和Hellmesberger的Elfenreigen演过,但我确实无法考证哪年演过),这在近几年来说是不算少的,应该可以给人带来全新的感觉, 除此之外其它的作品多半也是在近十年中没有演过的曲目。还有就是柠檬树开花之处圆舞曲,虽然演过两次,但都没有发行过CD录音,这首优美的乐曲终于在今年 可以在CD上现身了。与前几年相比,这次演出没有选择苏佩和兰纳的曲子,但有两首赫尔梅斯贝格的曲子,这跟梅塔在98年的选择是一致的。从指挥的角度来 说,梅塔这次的选曲没有与他之前的90,95,98的曲目发生重复,跟洛林·马泽尔的风格很是不同,老马的维也那的森林圆舞曲可是演了又演。从曲目演出顺 序上,基本上是长曲短曲交错,亮暗结合,有张有驰,看起来很不错的样子。
DGG即将发行的CD唱片编号477-6225,同时发行的DVD编号:073-4188。今年的CD封面也是很有特色,采用了暧色调来设计, 感觉DG在经历了02-04年的公式化的设计后,最近三年在CD封面的设计上有了不少的创新,还是值得称道的。但2006年糟糕的录音效果实在是很让人大 跌眼镜,期待这次的录音可以恢复到2005年时的比较好的状态。
2007年将是我收看维也纳新年音乐会的第十一个年头,也将是我自己录制新年音乐会的第十个年头。虽然现在在市场上买到或从网上下载到新年音乐 会的录音已经是一件很轻松的事情,但是我还是会保留这个传统,自己来录制新年音乐会。今年会第一次采用电视盒从数字电视机顶盒的视频输出上直接进行视频记 录,虽然比从卫星上抓取MPEG流要土得多,但相信应该可以得到比较好的效果。其实不管怎么说,自己录制新年音乐会肯定不能记录到最好的效果,但记录下的 当时的气氛,当时的心情,当时的激动。看着自己记录的新年音乐会,听着赵忠祥似乎越来退步的解说,看看王雪纯和卞祖善似乎一直不变的主持,虽然冒似有点单 调,但这种特殊的感觉是在欣赏DVD时所不能体会到的。
即将过去的2006年是我在新年音乐会上比较有收获的一年,这一年中,我找全了1979和1987年以来所有的CD录音(包括大部分CD上删除 的曲子),还有80年的部分和80-83的选集。在DVD上,找到了市面上发行过的所有DVD,包括63-79的选集,87,89-93,00-06年。 还成功的把97-99年自己当年的录象资料转换到电脑中,从央视音乐频道的网上点播找到94-96的选集。要感谢这一年在网上认识的拥有相同爱好的网友, 没有他们的帮助,这个愿望是很难实现的。尤其感谢Duckula,他不但帮我一起完成了维也纳新年音乐会的收集,更指引我去了解和接触更多的音乐,学着从 更多的角度去欣赏音乐。
新的一年,总是在对新年音乐会的期待中开始,从新年音乐会欢快的乐曲声中感受到新年的到来。年复一年,也许新年音乐会能带给我们的新鲜感并不用那么多,并不用期待梅塔能带给这个传统的节目什么特别的味道,但期待着新年音乐会能带来它一直不变的愉悦和精彩。

这周重温了一下《宾虚》这部电影,本想写个感受的,但上手一写觉得要把这个感受写好,需要花很多的笔墨在我所看过的电影的经历上,所以决定先写下本篇《我看电影的经历》。
上大学以前,也许除了很小的时候与家人一起去影院看电影以及学校组织看的电影之外,我就很少再看过什么电影了,尤其是中学阶段,包括当年火爆至极的《泰坦尼克》、《真实的谎言》和《阿甘正传》这样的大片,也都没有第一时间去看。那时候看电影,可以说谈不上有什么兴趣,即使无意看到一个片子,也许情节只会 是我关注的唯一内容。时到如今,那时看过并能让我回忆起来的电影可能已经是屈指可数了。除了少量的现在记不起来的在电影院看的电影外,那段时间(主要是小 学)更多看到电影也许都是来自央视的《正大剧场》,《狭胆雄狮》《环流地球80天》《霹雳五号》等等这些正大剧场的经典影片现在倒还有一点印象。尤其值得 一提的是正大剧场曾经放过的一个惊悚电视电影《夜惊魂》,在那个时候着实让我惊悚了好一阵子。现在基本上还可以记得里面的情节,虽然那时可能并没有完全看懂。后来在网上反复搜索,只查到了它的英文片名是A Child in the Night,但还是没有找到可以下载怀旧的视频。
上大学以后,大一时报的电影辅修课让我这个多年不看电影的人,重新喜欢上了电影,也更学会关注起电影中除了故事情节以外更多的东西。电影辅修课的第一课播放的《音乐之声》,这是一部我通过《Do Re Mi》《雪绒花》这两个曲子了解到的电影,但非常遗憾的是那次课我没有能去参加。后来买了一套这个电影的原声磁带,通过磁带才在想象中欣赏了这个电影,并 一直到大四的时候才有机会第一次欣赏到这部声音在头脑中已经烂熟的电影的画面。电影辅修课的第二课是《勇敢的心》,也是我去上课看的第一部影片,这部电影 给我的感觉就是“震憾”,尤其通过老师的讲解和欣赏的同学讨论,更是让我对这部影片留下了极为深刻的印象。通过这次课,我就开始慢慢学着去观察在电影故事 情节以外的更多的东西。
电影辅修课连续上了好几周,课程的内容也从开始的介绍电影理论、看电影、进行影片评述渐渐沦为纯粹的看电影,但那时老 师所选择的影片可以算得上都是经典,加上那是我第一次开始有意识的电影,所以不少电影都给我留下了不浅的印象。下面是我记得的所看过电影的部分列表:音乐 之声,勇敢的心,美丽人生,悲惨世界,阿甘正传,狮子王,走出非洲,埃及王子,阳光灿烂的日子,廊桥遗梦,乱世佳人,风月俏佳人,剑侠风流(First Knight),黄河绝恋,战争与和平……唉,太多了,列不全了,就列这些吧,这里面有我喜欢的也有不太喜欢的。但前四部可以无疑的确定为我本科阶段最喜 欢的四部电影。通过电影辅修课,我除了了解了这些电影,也开始记住了一些演员和导演的名字:梅尔·吉布森、罗勃特·贝尼尼、里察·基尔、苏菲·玛索、汤 姆·汉克斯、冯小宁……特别提到冯小宁,我喜欢的电影多半是美国的,但冯小宁的《黄河绝恋》和后来自己看的《紫日》也算得上是我比较喜欢的电影,我比较喜 欢这样的一种电影风格,虽然看多了也觉得有点单调,但这样的情节的发展方式以及冯小宁的摄影风格我都比较喜欢。
电影辅修课后很长的一断日子里,电脑还是占据了我生活的主要部分,电影也看得很少了。一直到大四的时候才又看了一点片子,其中最喜欢的应该就是《辛德勒的名单》,虽然同学第一次推荐我看的时候我看了个开头就放弃了。
上研究生后,看电影的机会似乎多了起来,除了自己看还有英语课上可以看还有研会综管部放的可以看。电影看了不少,但真正喜欢和尤其是能打动我的也越来越 少,我想可能是因为习惯了电影这样的一种艺术形式,所以原先可以轻易感动我的情节现在也更多的成了一种表现艺术的形式。在新浪上看到一本《一生要看的50部经典电影》书上所介绍的影片以及《男人必看的10部经典电影》是研究生阶段主要的看的影片的一部分,现在这60部已经大部分看全了。在这其中,《肖申克的救赎》《宾虚》《美国往事》应该是研究生阶段我最喜欢的三部电影。
喜欢看电影,很大程度上喜欢从电影中去寻找一种生活中没有感动,前面提到 的我最喜欢的八部电影中,除了《音乐之声》以外,都不程度的让我感动过(就是流过泪啦,呵呵)。虽然就像前面说的,现在能感动我的电影已经越来越少,但我 想这应该也是件好事,也许作为一个人并不应该只去电影中寻找感动,而更多的的应该学会去欣赏现实的世界、分析真实世界自身的艺术、寻找真实世界中的感动。 就像电影《楚门的世界》中所揭示的那样(可能有点曲解电影的本意了~只是正好想到了),我们每个人都生活在世界这个巨大的摄影棚中,应该在现实的电影中演好自己的角色,在表演中理解自己的本性,在生活中做自己最好的一面。
现在写Blog越来越罗嗦了,不管了,随性而写,写到哪里是哪里了。后面我就会开始尝试的着用我拙劣的笔墨来记录我对电影的感受了,第一篇将会是关于《宾虚》的。
