IMDB
評分： 8/10

一昧的懷舊時在不是辦法。這世界從來就沒有變過。
不管活在哪個年代，我還是一樣的我，你還是一樣的你。
茉莉花，華爾街，火燒倫敦。
我不能認同少數人用權力或是金錢壓榨多數人，也不能認同多數人盲從反抗的意識。
需要更好的解決方式，但這世界從來就沒有變過。

這部電影真的說穿了很多我對革命的想法。
都只是個遊戲罷了。
不過，謝謝你們帶我去看，不然我可能都不會知道有這部片....

Tacking

"Only what we dream is what we truly are, because all the rest, having been realized, belong to the world and to everyone. If I were to realize a dream, I'd be jealous, for it would have betrayed me by allowing itself to be realized. I've achieved everything I wanted, says the feeble man, and it's a lie; the truth is that he prophetically dreamed all that life achieved through him. We achieved nothing. Life hurls us like a stone, and we sail through the air saying, 'look at me move.'" 


FERNANDO PESSOA - "The Book of Disquiet"

Sights and Sounds of Harvest

Vintage Munro

My introductory book to the world of Alice Munro, and I love it very much. It is a short collection of her greatest works. The Canadian writer is an expert in short stories, exploring human complexities in an effortless and unique style. Though the story isn't very long, it gives you a lot to think about, to read between the lines. I'd definitely read more of her work.

• "The Moons of Jupiter" 
• "The Progress of Love" 
• "Differently" 
• "Carried Away" 
• "Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage"
