The postmodern life of my aunt

Image
又名: Yi ma de hou xian dai sheng huo 导演: 许鞍华 主演: 周润发 / 斯琴高娃 / 赵薇 / 卢燕 上映年度: 2007 语言: 普通话 官方网站: http://ent.sina.com.cn/f/m/yima/index.shtml imdb 链接: tt 0470984 制片国家/地区: 中国 Chinese actress Siqin Gaowa plays a woman who has deeply hurt her husband and daughter by choosing to leave them and move to Shanghai. The moves picks up at a time when she has begun to feel lonely. Her nephew comes to Shanghai for a visit and --one thing leads to another--this woman with a college degree is scammed out of her life savings. Things get worse when she falls down some stairs and has to call the very family she has rejected. She had been humbled and changed. I guess this kind of story is common and ordinary in China, because of the effect of history. Some talent people could not make best use of their abilities but mingle into the life they would not want to live. They try their best to break away from it. That is why aunt in the movie returned Shanghai without hesitate. However, life in Shang...

romantic lines from < The notebook >

2004 My dearest Alice: I could not sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at y ou with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah Noah: I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I' ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived; I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and not me, this has always been e...

Struggling to make ends meet, Gardner finds himself and his five-year-old son evicted from their San Francisco apartment with nowhere to go. When Gardner lands an internship at a prestigious stock brokerage firm, he and his son endure many hardships, including living in shelters, in pursuit of his dream of a better life for the two of them. --- the pursuit of happyness In the beginning of 2007, a touching movie cheered me greatly. How happy are you right now? Do you even know? More exactly, what is happiness? Can you explain it correctly in your own words or feelings? In the movie, when Chris's wife was going to leave him, he thought of a celebrity and pondered that: Maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue. Maybe we can actually never have it, no matter what. But, it is difficult to experience moments of happiness if we are not aware of what it is we genuinely love. Most people...
