等。一个人。咖啡

九把刀 “爱情三部曲” 之二




电影Quote,

“每一個人,都在等一個人。”



基本上这部戏(或则小说)的主题就是在“你等我我等你,我们等来等去”~~


就算你至今还没看这部电影,可是你也应该从大小报章看到这部戏在港台俩地已经破了“两亿台币票房”,
所以如果你真的还没看这部戏,那你真的应该关掉这影评,然后去戏院看看,这部戏到底那里了不起~ 
因为这就是我当初看这部戏的心态,在现在这种被好莱坞大片严重轰炸刺激我们感官的年代,进去戏院后我不得不否认这部戏真的给我一种清新的感觉。



好啦,废话不多说,以下是剧情简介,
          故事女主角李思萤(宋芸桦 饰),到“等一个人”咖啡店打工,结识了咖啡冲调技术高超,任何客人点的特调咖啡都能做得到的超酷拉子,阿不思(赖雅妍 饰)、有点疯疯癫癫,每天都好像无所事事的神秘美丽老板娘(周慧敏 饰),以及思萤的暗恋对象,喜欢坐在固定座位,看似身边女友不断的神秘男生泽于(张立昂 饰)。 
  在大学里拥有许多离奇传说的学长阿拓(布鲁斯 饰)和一群好友到“等一个人”喝咖啡,却碰上抢走他前女友的拉子- 阿不思,有正义感的思萤看不惯阿拓被好友们嘲笑而破口大骂,因而和阿拓结为好友。开朗的阿拓热血又真诚,为了完成去环游世界的梦想到处打工,也因愿赌服输的精神而不断的延毕成为校园中的传奇老学长。打工的阿拓认识了看似黑道大哥但其实曾是电影导演的热炒店老板暴哥(李羅 饰),以及拥有一身惊人厨艺的洗衣店老板娘金刀婶(蓝心湄 饰)。 
  深深被思萤的正义感电到的阿拓,常常介绍他那些有趣的好朋友给思萤认识,思萤的生活也因为有阿拓而变得多彩多姿。思萤一直暗恋着泽于而只是把阿拓当成无话不谈的好朋友,直到阿拓决定要离开台湾,出国去实现梦想时,思萤才明白,原来她所等的人一直都是阿拓。
















阿拓(布鲁斯)及 李思萤(宋芸桦)


















美丽的神秘老板娘(周慧敏 饰)


















神秘男人泽于(张立昂 饰)
























泡咖啡高手 阿不思(赖雅妍 饰)


















年轻时的泽于(洪言翔 饰)及老板娘(陈语安 饰)


















暴哥(李罗 饰)及 金刀婶 (蓝心媚 饰)



看似一个简单的爱情故事,但是小说不一样的地方是,这部戏crossover了另外一本小说《月老》,因为老板娘就是月老的主角之一,为了让老板娘这个角色得到圆满,从而对一些角色作了一些操刀,例如神秘男生其实小说里的名字叫泽于,而且只是个正常的人,不属于超自然的角色,当然还有很多其他被更改的部分,例如关键角色技安不在戏里,神秘男生泽于其实在小说里和老板娘没有感情关系,暴哥和金刀婶其实根本不是夫妻等。。下略百多行字,有兴趣者不妨另外网搜,或则买小说回来读好了,呵呵。


这部戏打着, 九把刀“爱情三部曲”之二,显然就是要延续着2011年“那些年,我们一起追过的女孩”的成功,票房而言,他们办到了,大众及媒体评论而言,虽然出现两极化的影评(非常好及非常烂),可是多数评论都还是积极可观的。
为什么会这样?小说改编电影的类别很多时候都很难为读者所喜爱,因为时间的关系,电影必须取舍小说里的精髓,就根据九把刀之前就说过,如果完完全全根据小说来拍,那么拍成连续剧会更适合,所以如以上提到的一些取舍是必然的。


这部戏与小说在故事上有一定的差异,这个相当考编剧的功夫,风格而言,戏和小说最大的差异就是小说只是个爱情小说,而且根据忠实读者而言,小说是催泪弹,而且“处处都充满着感动”,戏里则是以搞笑爱情片的方向出发,单单是开头的“四个校园传说”与“豆花热狗论”就和小说的风格差天共地了,整部戏大致上用两种节奏去诠释,前半段的夸张无厘头及后半段的一些伏笔揭晓及温馨感动的结尾,使用来揭晓的风格非常接近周杰伦早前的《不能说的秘密》一般,会令人有“哦,原来如此”,且又在戏里的逻辑内易为人接受。


虽然这部戏巧妙地以“九把刀”的科幻风格表现出来,可是可惜的是不管是与小说或《那些年》比较起来,这部戏都是以比较浮夸的方式来处理,李思萤和阿拓之间的感情在戏里也比较难令人感动及产生共鸣,相比起来老板娘的故事线反而更容易令人感动,和阿不思沦落超级咖喱啡也是令人蛮惋惜的,不那么令人感动的爱情戏终究是比较吃亏的,对不?


最后,戏里结尾出现的“阿拓,我们会想念你的”其实是献给现实里的一位九把刀的忠实读者及朋友,他由于发生车祸而去世,九把刀为了纪念他,而把他作为小说里的主角角色设定“阿拓”,这里也向这位热血的“阿拓”致敬,哀悼。














希望此戏继续大卖,然后继续制出下一波破亿作,“爱情三部曲”之三!


LP Rating - 很有野心的一部科幻爱情喜剧,集合了不同领域的演员以吸引所有男女老少的观众群入场,超现实及科幻的剧情,使到感动度由于缺少了真实性,相对与其他较朴素的爱情剧比较起来相对减少,不过故事流畅度掌控得很好,前半段的无厘头搞笑及后半段的温馨结尾都紧紧地捉住了观众的目光,没有冷场,绝对值得一看, 6/10。

Project Hashima - Collision Course of Thai and Japan Horror Film




























Movie Quote - 

"May:  It’s in the top 5 most haunted places"



“Bullshit.”

It’s all I can reply to this attempting to make use “history” of Hashima as background story of this haunted movie.


OK, Let’s go to the movie, the plot itself is quite simple and belong to typical ghost movie , where you will a got 5 thing as listed below,

1. Cast that formed by homesome boys and pretty girls
2. A lot of Ghost faking scene that made up just to scare audience.
3. Some stupid guys/girls will do some stupid things that lead up to entire movie.
4. Ghost or haunted spirit will go and track them down , directly or indirectly.
5. A final twist in the end where the movie mainly treat audience as dumbass to trick with.


And there u go, Project Hashima~

Directed by Piyapan Choopetch (Necromancer, Vow of Death), Story started off with a group of young movie college graduate, formed by Off (Alexander Rendell),  Nan (rom-com/horror star Apinya Sakulkaroensuk), May (Sushar Manaying), Nick (Pirat Nipitpaisalkul)and Dog (Mek Mekwattana). After attempting to interview to movie company with their horror film has failed, they decided to uploading the video to Youtube, which gaining a lot of views and finally a deal from another movie production company, Ghostland approached and offer them to shoot a documentary movie which based on the inhabited island, Hashima, which they accepted later on. But neither of them could foresee mysterious and tragedies that finally coming for them as they returned to their home, Bangkok.


Well that is basically the whole synopsis of the movie, which I don’t have any interest to elaborate more. But I will share some interesting fact about Hashima,

         1. Hashima - the once vibrant but now entirely abandoned Japanese island has inspired Sam Mendes' vision of the villain Silva's lair in Bond movie Skyfall

         2. Hashima in reality, has never been regarded as a paranormal hub, let alone "the top five haunted places on Earth", as explained in the film.

         3. The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. As petroleum replaced coal in Japan in the 1960s, coal mines began shutting down all over the country, and Hashima's mines were no exception. Mitsubishi officially announced the closing of the mine in 1974, and today it is empty and bare, which is why it is called Ghost Island.

         4. The island's most notable features are the abandoned and undisturbed concrete apartment buildings and the surrounding sea wall.

      If you are interesting enough to dig some of real Hashima footage, why don’t you dig on this guy’s research? It’s an interesting and “real” Hashima Project!

 (This website itself is more thrilling than movie if u asked me..)


     LP Rating – A very modest Thai ghost story, you got some hot guys and hot chicks with some little thrill throughout the movie, nothing much to expect, so do with my stars, 3/10.  


OK, so we're gonna do some kick start here~

It's been 1 year i haven't get my next post kicked , so godamnit whatever it is I will start 1 today,
So it's will start as form of, Movie review~
welcomed to my LPark everybody!!

23th Melaka 1 day trip ~ 马六甲一日游 ~



三月的一个风和日丽的星期六早晨,Baby和我前去出席我朋友在兴安天后宫的婚姻注册会,祝我朋友夫妇新婚快乐,白头偕老啦~!在这对新婚夫妇招待我们一些早点后,我们俩也就和他们告别啦~
 
难得和BabyKL下到马六甲出街走走,当然不能miss掉一些在马六甲必吃的美食!离开了婚姻注册后,天气只能说是热热热热热热热热~~!!!热到不懂怎样形容啦~~~ 我的Baby直接是热到满脸都是汗珠,既然那么热,那么就绝对不能miss掉吃cendol的大好机会了!!

















而且话说回来,来到马六甲,就绝不能忘了来到Jonker 88吃非常出名 “大宝小食”的Cendol和“阿嬷纯鱼饼”的Laksa~~ 我只能说来到了那里,队排得很长就算了,里面还要坐满了人啊~~~连吃都要站在一旁等位子空出来啊~~~~~


人真的多到~~~~~




还好大家都挺体谅的,吃完后就立即离开,我们俩也很快就找到位子坐下去慢慢享用美食。















 Baba Cendol – RM3.00















 Passion Fruit Ice Kacang – RM4.00
















Baba Laksa Kahwin Nyonya Asam Laksa LOL什么名堂来的~)鸳鸯laksa – RM5.00

















Sea Food Soup Noodle 海鲜清汤面– RM5.00





 Baby比较吃得辣,我则比较怕辣,所以只叫了个海鲜清汤面,然后时不时夹babylaksa过来~不过laksa其实没想像中的辣,怕辣的朋友不妨也可以试试,其实laksa的味道很够,可是辣的level还可以接受(不知好辣之人是否能要求老板娘加辣呢?)
 


  






























(瞧Baby享用美食当儿的模样~~)





吃完后,我们在这历史街道内走走看看这里的店面,随即到Dataran Pahlawan 内走走看看(外加看戏一轮~~LOL),看完戏后呢,我们又再回到Jonker Street里头,看看有什么好吃/ 好看的东西~



























(那时大概6pm/7pm,人潮不会太多太拥挤,一旦8pm以上,就真的寸步难行咯~)





走了一阵子后,Baby 建议吃这个,


















Waffle HotDog Jumbo Cheese - RM3.50
























(Baby你的姐妹是否看了这张后有超不爽的感觉?LOL~~) 




其实这还有很多2种口味,即original(原味什么都不加)和黑胡椒酱Black Pepper Sauce,有点小咸,不过很够味,大家路过时不妨试试看~

说实在的,我们俩实在不属于边走边吃就可以解决肚子饿的人,所以我们决定去吃Satay Celup~ 由于之前已经吃过了Capitol,所以这次就去尝尝百里香(左边店面)~








































总共吃了67支,大概是RM50左右(记性老了不是很记得了)

 




























(感谢一位摄影发烧友帮忙拍摄这张照片,Terima Kasih~)



吃完了后和baby到马六甲河走走拍照~ 老实说从来没试过这么夜晚的时间游逛马六甲河,其实蛮遗憾这次游玩其实没什么拍到照片,下次再和Baby一起过来吃喝玩乐拍拍照~~!!

1st Blog

This is my 1st blog.

I don't know what i might write next,
I don't know when i might write next,
I don't know who might come and read all this,

But i guess if i could just continue to keep on writing, something else may come up eventually~
I love to keep my memory in term of photos, music and drawing, more colorful, visual and melodically rhyme in every way,
but not through deep down inside to heart, where only genuine of thought, come out straight in form of words,
i guess it is time to explore something else than i usually do,

So, here i am and welcome to my blog~ JustinLPark~
