Rainy Night, in Tung Chung.
Still, my photo is far from satisfaction on the expression of the cool, dark, metropolitan chill. But I enjoy the blur in the background which tells me something about the city sophistication.

2008亞裔藝采 Asia Ethnic Cultural Performances 2008
Asia Ethnic Cultural Performances 2008
印度, 印尼, 中國民族演出
8 Nov 2008. 2:30-5pm Cultural Centre Piazza C
錯過了以前的演出, 今年的及時欣賞!
Indian dance - bharata natyam
好有趣的神廟舞bharata natyam, 首次觀看不是敬拜krishna 的敬神舞,而是演譯一個女子對一個不忠男子的戲劇性表達. 為導引觀眾觀看, 舞蹈前還有內容描述. 表演時間不長, 但緊湊而專業. 免費的演出比收費的每每還要好!
Indonesian dance
Indonesian dance - tribute to Islam
Chinese dance
中共色彩的中國舞總帶格格不入的混沌感, 不是說舞蹈不佳, 只是...... 總像改造了的中國和改造了的文化, 既陌生, 又迷茫......
Indonesian dance
除了傳統的古典舞如Ramayana或Bali巴里島的傳統舞外 , 其實比較少接觸印尼的其他舞如現代一點的民族舞或回教禮讚, 今個表演只展現了少許印尼舞蹈的不同種類, 也足以窺見印尼文化之多元.

四女性 Four Women (Naalu Pennungal)
昨晚看了亞洲電影節其中一套印度電影, 彷如久逢甘露.
印度傳統社會典型女性的命運故事, 加上南印Kerala禾田畝畝和水鄉漣漣的風情畫面, 燃起了當年漫遊印度和南印的回憶. google一下,原來此片的評論文字不少, 一些印度site甚至可以網上付款(非法)下載, 可見此片頗為流行.

香港亞洲電影節2008
首次被HKAFF (HK Asian Film Festival) 打動, 因發現她不再只放映大陸,台灣, 韓國,或日本的電影, 今年居然選映了馬來, 印尼,伊朗, 印度, 甚至土耳其電影, 數量比電影節時的隔年一兩套還要多! 亞洲文化在香港果開始抬頭吧?或者我們已經厭棄港式荷里活式樣板戲許久了? 今天樂意購票進影院看戲的, 已是鳳毛麟角的稀有動物, 想看的是在bt 或youtube download 不到的另類毛片吧? anyway, 愈見多元的社會角度和文化產物, 始終是樂於看到和期待的.

I have never been to me - Charlene
我Poly 日子的唱k飲歌. 當年的我很喜歡此曲的旋律和歌詞, 更喜歡中間的獨白. 當時其實對歌詞似懂非懂. 今晚嘴裡一直哼著這調子, search 一下youtube - 真好, 好歌重現了...
反覆聽和唱著這首女性的monologue, 內心有多重感受. 究竟我是歌者charlene的身份(identity),還是歌者的女聽眾(lady)的身份? 雖然今天的我並非如歌者般獨身女郎,卻也非甘願是個discontented mother & regimented wife. 我仍是我 - 心中永遠擁有空間和夢想, 任我闖蕩無彊界, 追求天堂的定義和境界卻又不是never been to me. 大概,歌者和聽眾我也不是, 對人世間的paradox, 只是一笑置之吧, 也許, 了解生命比活著更重要...
Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....
Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....
Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......
Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

詩無邪愛有罪(伊朗/ 日本) Hafez
詩無邪愛有罪(伊朗/ 日本)
Hafez
Director: Abolfazl JALILI
Cast: Mehdi Moradi, Kumiko Aso, Mehdi Negahban
很吸引的題旨,詩化的內容,表達方式和畫面,還有引起我興趣的主題:可蘭經與愛. 兩者似是牛馬不相及的概念,徧徧被混在一起, 是名符其實的dilemma. 穆罕默德在可蘭經要帶給世人的, 是神阿拉的大愛, 還是俗世人自我的綑綁, 從鎮壓中呈現自我的膨脹,封鎖異己? 毫無疑問,宗教早已是政治武器, 而且不過是自我人性的體現, 與神, 可以全無關係.

4月電影節後記
今個電影節只看了4套戲, 其中1套很垃圾, 3套都很精彩, 巧合的是: 原來該3套的電影語言和形式有很多相近之處. 可能因為此故, 才引起我購票進場的興趣吧!
[世界視野 Global vision] 是其中一個必留意的系列. 我最愛的印度電影常在此範圍出現, 今次也不例外.

雪國少女心(印度)
