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.
