Roman Holiday

I just watched the movie 'Roman Holiday'. This is my first black&white movie.

I had been searching for this movie for a while but still couldn't find it. My friend knew about this and downloaded it for me. Sweet....thank you >.< (And I wanna tell you that actually I found it too on PPS)

I fell in love with her performance in 'My Fair Lady' and would like to see her act in 'Roman Holiday' which is the movie she won her first Best Actress Oscar. She is the princess --- Audrey Hepburn.

To tell you the story, I shall let you read the review of the movie.

Roman Holiday (1953) is a delightful, captivating fairy-tale romance shot entirely on location in Rome, and produced and directed by one of Hollywood's most skillful, distinguished, professional and eminent directors - William Wyler.

The film's bittersweet story is a charming romantic-comedy, a kind of Cinderella tale in reverse (with an April-October romance). A runaway princess (Hepburn) rebels against her royal obligations and escapes the insulated confines of her royal prison to find a 'Prince Charming' commoner - an American reporter (Peck) covering the royal tour in Rome. The story was reportedly based on the real-life Italian adventures of British Princess Margaret.

From this movie, I saw not only the romance of the story but also the society at that time. 

People were so naive and willing to take a stranger to stay at their home.

And I also found that there were not many tourists in Rome but most of them were locals.

With only 1.5US dollars, the princess could have a hair cut and an ice-cream. Things were so cheap at that time.

The media must be very lousy because the people there did not even recognize the princess when she was walking freely on the street.

And also not many cars and many people were still traveling by bicycle. The air must be fresh due to less pollution.

Firstly, I thought black&white movies must be very boring but this movie is quite interesting. And surprisingly, there is no Hollywood-happy-ending in this movie and leave some regrets to the audiences. That is the part I like--- realistic.

 

癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉

知道什么是癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉吗？

基本上就是说，一个条件极差的人想得到一些美好的事，然而当事人并没有察觉自己是没有资格得到天鹅的。

当然，每一个人都觉得自己是天鹅，每一个人都觉得自己应该拥有更好的。

除了自己，其他人都是癞蛤蟆。

我称这些人为 ‘自以为是天鹅症候群’。

我以前也是有这种病，现在医好了。

我也曾是一只自视过高的天鹅，觉得其他人都是癞蛤蟆。

殊不知，我也是一只癞蛤蟆，还是一只把嘴巴张得很大的癞蛤蟆。 

自从病好后，我就是一只癞蛤蟆。

我要用癞蛤蟆的眼睛去看这个世界。

我唯一跟其他癞蛤蟆的分别就是。。。。。我是一只自视过高的癞蛤蟆，不是任何天鹅肉我都放进嘴里的。

《天使爱美丽》

有谁不曾为那暗恋而痛苦？我们总以为那份痴情很重，很重，是世上最重的重量。有一天，暮然回首，我们才发现，它一直都是很轻，很轻的。我们以为爱的很深，很深，来日岁月，会让你知道，它不过很浅，很浅。最深和最重的爱，必须和时日一起成长。——《天使爱美丽》
Is there anyone who hasn't suffered for the secret love? We always think that love is very heavy, heavy and could be the heaviest thing in the world. But one day, when you look back, you suddenly realize that it's always light, light. We all thought love was very deep, but in fact it's very thin. The deepest and heaviest love must grow up with the time. ---- < Amelie >

Finished an interview

Phew....just finished the most important interview KPLI but the results will be released after a month. 
Basically, I think I was doing good. When they asked me questions, I answered them calmly. When they wanted me to write an article, I crapped reasonably. When we were having group discussion, I gave educated point of views.

If I got this, I am going to pursue my Master before my brain is dead. Actually, I don't need to trouble myself by studying that much but it is necessary to get this Master cert to build my self-esteem wall. You say I am silly...yes, you are right.....I am the dumbest person on earth who is going to get the Master toilet paper and stuck it into those  mouths who are looking down on me.


 Ok, I am done here. I will keep other negative stuff to myself.

P/S: Wow, now u can leave me a comment here, excited huh~

很闲~

如果世界没有天空，我要对着什么发呆？

最后一天

今天是我在学校最后一天上课，我的心情并没有我想象中兴奋和愉快，也没有觉得不舍，只是觉得完成了一项任务。
无可否认的，我也学习了蛮多的，无论是从其他老师或学生身上。
我终于熬过了，我觉得我还蛮厉害的。请神赋于我力量，因为我又要踏出下一步了。

香格里拉

香格里拉是1933年英国著名小说家 詹姆斯. 希尔顿 在小说《消失的地平线》中所描绘的一个永恒，和平，宁静的地方。
那里，一片绝尘静域，神奇得让人一见倾心。
顾名思义就是人间天堂咯。
有人说希尔顿笔下的香格里拉在喜玛拉雅山的山脚；也有人说是中国的西藏。
两者我都没到过，所以没办法体会当中的美好。
但是，我相信地球上总有一些未被人类摧毁的净土。

我也想找到一个让我心旷神怡的人间天堂，我想应该很容易找到吧~本人对于美好的事物并没有设下很高的要求。
等我攒够了银两，我就去寻找属于我的香格里拉~>.<
