Afterthought about OneBattleAfterAnother

This movie was long, 3 hour almost.  It hosted some of weird characters with conspiracy theory, mixed with current event, and the love about parent and his kid.  

I feel I did not particularly like the movie in the movie.  But I have to admit, the movie maker knows his craft and was very good at it.  For some reason, I sit here and think back, CoenBrothers came to mind.  I guess this movie maker and the brothers are both excellent movie makers.  They can create rhythm, and images that's catches people.  

There were points in the movie I felt a bit long.  But as I watched it, there were always elements of the movie kept me going, be it soundtrack, cinematic visuals, character development, or plot twist.  

I read someone thinks it's too political.  But now I thought, nay, it gave the movie too much credit.  Revolution always gives interesting flavors, they are the purest drama in the world, especially from the left.  That's where young people usually is.  

The actors in the movie was top notch.  No one wasted their times on the screen showing their faces.  And there's quite some humor in it too.  It's intentional and it works despite that.  

The movie was long, but when I saw the father and daughter reunite, I was elated and so happy.  It's not a bad movie to watch, I was certainly entertained.

Salt Then Sour Then Sweet

Lyrics

Give me the light years

But I want the dark ones, too

Grief is the singer in my band

She's a passenger van

And a shortcut straight to the truth

Learn from the nightshades

They grow in the darkest places

Had we not been stung so many times

Would we ever have arrived

At this Heaven on Earth that I don't wanna waste

Pick a lucky penny up

And I'll marry you for your money, love

So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth

Want to feel it all

Salt then sour, then sweet

Wanna kiss you and write love's name on my crumbling walls

Lay them at your feet with the rest of me

Salt then sour, then sweet

Come to the porch, love

Look up at the perfect sky

Holding the sun, and the moon, and the thundering June

While she teaches the birds and the rain how to fly

I don't need to perfect

No, I just wanna touch the truth

I wanna cherish the trying

And the living and the dying

And they make big mistakes the way kind people do

Pick a lucky penny up

And I'll marry you for your money, love

So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth

Want to feel it all

Salt then sour, then sweet

Wanna kiss you and write love's name on the crumbling walls

Lay them at your feet with the rest of me

Nothing more I need (nothing more I need)

Life is lovably (life is-)

Salt then sour, then sweet

So sweet (so sweet)

So sweet

Life is lovably

So sweet, so sweet

So sweet

2025 隨想

 我在 2025 年錄了七個閱讀的影片放在 YT 上。  比 2024 年多了一個。  四月三個，九月兩個，十一月兩個。  其實還有錄其他的， 因為各種原因就沒有放上來。  我時常想，如果我可以用 AI 說不定我可以做一個比較好的影片。  但是， 只是鬆散的想法而沒有一個可行的計畫。  滿可惜的。  

另外， 我也沒有看甚麼書， 好像一整年都陷入一種恐怖而又疲累的陷阱裡。  無論是看的書或著是電影， 我不僅沒有力氣也沒有精神去寫點感想。  我甚至可以從 mei 跟我說話時看出來， 他說我應該去找點有興趣的事情做。  

我不喜歡寫下甚麼願望，因為如果實現不了， 那有啥意思？  但是在當下的我，卻有了不同意見。  我已經病了一個多星期了， 實在不能再拖了。  我得要說點願望出來， 至於實現與否， 不能管了。  

所以我現在決定， 明天來做的願望清單。  

隨想

 哪有甚麼可以寫的呢？  每此坐下來，或在床上， 最近總是在想得寫點甚麼。  但是，哪有可寫的呢？  我的工作實在很累。  幾乎不想做什麼其他的事。  而且精力是直線下降， 肉眼可見。  我前半年有 EmilyMiao 還可以。  在他走前一個月， 真是感覺的快死掉了。  自己也知道不對勁， 可是感覺歸感覺， 我想只要我把握住， 啥都不說， 就無會有事了。  可我到現在都在想念。  我在這邊工作， 我知道 Kevin 和 Sophia 一直會來談談， 但我實在累了。  我不想玩了。  我知道我的思念是幻想。  

---------------------------------

這個精力下降的情況在這兩三個月表現明顯。  尤其是 Stephan 的事件。  那次我又發怒， 導致 Kevin 直接請 Stephan 走路。  我想我如果不說我要變成 Part time， Kevin 可能不會請他走。  因為很顯然， Kevin 比較喜歡 Stephan。  他對 Yuenning 是非常沒有信心的。  我也對 Y 沒有信心。  但是， 這次發怒使我的心臟成受不了了。  之後一個星期是徹底的垮了。  雖然現在又過了兩三個月，我依然還是感到只是在恢復。  

我希望我是很認真的工作， 把自己的事給做好。  可是這豈不是遠超過我所想的嗎？  當初一個隊伍是三個人， 後來這一年的前半年是兩個人， 再後來仍是兩個人。  可是我自己的事幾乎全部落掉。  

--------------------------------

我所有想的都只有那個幻想。  

-------------------------------

我妹妹真的是很棒的一個人。  幾個月前我在德州的阿姨摔了一跤，腿受傷。  我妹竟然打電話給德州的相關部門，幫他找了一個人來打掃！  最近，我妹帶我和媽媽去找了一個律師， 幫我們看看媽媽是否可以申請一些老人福利。  他很用心地記筆記， 之後打電話給一個相關部門， 讓媽媽可以去一天老人課程，就在鎮上的活動中心。  而且還是免費又有接送！  媽媽本來還有點不像去， 怕要付錢。  但是第一天的經驗下來， 他看起來還滿高興的。  媽媽是喜歡人際來往的。  我妹妹真的是很棒的一個人！！

Notes to myself.

 知道嗎？  如果要錄音， 就得要有素材。  而且要多方閱讀， 才能有新的素材。  怎麼可以說不讀書， 就隨便念？  

MaryOliver - Mysteries,Yes

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous

    to be understood.

How grass can be nourishing the 

    mouths of the lambs.

How rivers and stones are forever 

    in allegiance with gravity

        while we ourselves dream of rising.

How two hands touch and bonds will

    never be broken.

How people come, from delight or the 

    scars of damage,

to the comfort of a poem.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those 

    who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say

        "Look!" and laugh in astonishment,

    and bow their heads.
