Movie and book Afterthought - Hamnet

我終於看完了哈姆奈特, 書和電影。  我不怎麼喜歡這本書, 原因是百分之八十五的故事都只是心裡描述。  我甚至懷疑這書到底有沒有故事劇情?  整本書中間除了死神選錯人以外都沒有高潮。  壓抑的情節幾乎貫穿整本書。  不過,在通過百分九十五的鋪陳之後, 結局稍微補救了一些。  


當然我承認, 我幾乎是翻書似的看完它。  只要我可以了解這一段大概要講甚麼, 我就跳過去了。  有百分之六十五都是這樣的。  但即便如此, 我還是花了不少時間看。  因為一放下來就不怎麼想再拿起來,除了少數的情節。  而且我覺得不少人物的設定在我看滿樣板的。  主角和世俗格格不入的性格,傳統女性的壓抑, 還有啥是新的呢?  倒是我覺得 Agnes 和 Bartholomew 之間兄妹的關係我滿喜歡的。  充滿了解和信任,有一種生母過世後, 相依為命的姊弟之情。  當然, 我覺得這裡 Agnes 和 莎翁的夫妻之情其實也寫得滿成功的。  事實上, 用旁敲側擊的方式來描寫莎翁的喪子之痛和 Agnes 一樣深沉, 是滿高明的寫法。  


就電影而言, 我覺得其實和小說配著看也還好。  我在看完小說後有點不確定導演要怎麼拍, 因為幾乎全是內心描述。  我和我媽一起看的, 看完後,我問他看的都懂嗎?  他說都懂。  我想電影其實拍得還可以。  雖說有滿多事情沒法像小說交代得那麼清楚, 但是我覺得也夠了。  尤其是看過小說的, 其他細節可以自己補齊。  就電影來說, 我覺得演員是很用力演了, 但是, 這戲的劇情本就薄弱。  而且因為時間跨度滿大的, 每一段往往用一個黑幕來做結束, 變成好像一小集一小集那樣。  有點可惜。  另外就是, 最後的場景我覺得電影也沒有書本來的好。  也不差, 但和書本相較之下, 就差了點。  甚至有為了要讓觀眾了解, 台詞必須講出來, 但是有些感情真的是講出來就差點。  這電影的攝影, 音樂都很棒。  不果我也得說, 以現在來說, 我目前還沒看到一部電影把這兩樣做不好的。  可以有不同的風格, 但是沒有不好的。  所以應該要問的問題是, 攝影和音樂有沒有把這部電影的精神抓出來, 並且造成它獨特的風格?  我感覺還是有的, 尤其是攝影。  我對音樂的感覺往往沒有攝影敏感, 除非我再看幾遍, 我這裡也不再賣瓜了。  


說到最後, 我依然要回到故事的劇情。  我感覺這本書更像是作者的寫作練習。  這種故事的鋪陳到最後一個橋段才讓我感覺有點意義。  而這意義並不能讓給我一種切身的強烈, 另外, 這種老舊的劇情並不是不能寫的更引人入勝, 所以對我而言這是此書失敗的地方。  我還是知道了一點劇情來看的。  所以當最後獨到 Agnes 看到阿姆雷特時的描寫, 我還是非常感動的。  但是在感動完之後, 那感情卻沒能留很久。  我知道這種評論好像是說看書或電影是為了給我某種悸動而且可以長時間體驗, 幾乎像上癮。  我覺得這是不公平的。  我卻無法為了那最後一場的感動而肯定之前百分之九十五的故事。

Movie afterthought...or feeling

SentimentalValue spoiler alert

I watched this last month.  I like it very very much!  The theme of the movie is about movie making.  This is kind of a slow movie.  But director brilliantly mixed present and flash backs, keeps it interesting.  And I saw a comment online saying the flashback was actually narrated by the house itself, i thought it made senses.  

I only saw two actors before, one is ElleFanning, the other is StellanSkarsgard.  I love them both, espeically ElleFanning, a tremendous Actor.  I like her performance here so much.  Her role was really out of place in the whole movie, the shining American movie star.  And one of the most memorable section of the movie was the comparison of her acting for a scene and RenateReinsve's acting on the exact same scene in a script.  

I was going to watch TW's 左撇子女孩,but it was so raw that scared me a little.  I had so much apprehension about the ending that I switched to SentimentalValue.  The basic difference between the two I think was really the sound and music.  

The photography of SV was just beautiful.   The conflict between daughter and father, the love between the sisters.  Both Stellan and Elle's vulnerability in the movie was also palpable, especially when the characters were forcing to make the movie, when both them, especially  the director, know it's now working.  I feel as an audience we can just see it, without any commentary.  Palpable is a good word to describe the scene.  

The movie's story was really quite interesting, when you think about it.  I like Stuckman's word to describe this movie, personal.  A father wanted his daughter to play a part of his own memory from his youth.  But he did not know that his daughter actually had a similar experience.  Once that was revealed, it really packed a punch.

It's cringe for me.

 Spurs beat Thunder in game 7 last night.  I stayed up late to wait for the highlight.  Though I was happy to see Spurs won.  It was cringe to see Wemby scores.  The way he is scoring is really for a 6 foot point guard.  And people are simply praised him for it...  How sad to see a 7' 6" guy struggling with people 1 food shorter than him.  I hope he can stay healthy to play another 20 years, but I have my doubt.  Dirk is 7', he can shoot three, but the way he plays for mid range is a lot more different than Wemby.  I feel he knows how to use height,  but not Wemby.  I truly feel like if Wemby perfected Skyhooks, maybe he could play more than 10 years.  I think Wemby's real asset for Spurs is really defense.  Spurs offense is really the whole team, I think the manager is first to be praised, the second the the coach and coaching staff.  Look at Harper, Castle, and all the team mates were so good, If Wemby is not playing, they are still a great team.  Maybe a bit weaker in the defense.  But their scoring will remain the same.  There're countless game like this, but all the media only mentioned how great Wemby is...  If Wemby can't find a better way to score inside, it's such a waste of talents...  

And for NBA, there's no point to watch it anymore...  The inconsistent of the referree is the real reason for this game 7.  It feels so much that NBA is controlling the game with referee...  Totally lost confidence in NBA.  Yeah, I will still want some highlights in the future, but no more than that...  


I think I will start to follow FIBA instead...  

Some thoughts

 So I was writing down some thoughts about a work related topic yesterday.   It is something bothers me for sometimes.  Since I came to work at this place, I feel like I did a couple things that's quite important for the company in terms of general procedures on Picking orders, Requesting items, and Receiving packages.  I don't need to go into detail now.  But I feel there are many aspects that can be improved upon.  So I even made a Receiving log, which compiled all the Receiving record through out the years.  Of course, I've expressed this thoughts to Maya, David, and Kevin before.  One of the goal is to be able to calculate SKU with their respected Lot and all the Lot related information together.  And by doing such, we can get better current lot results in Picking list.  And then the middle goal is that we can work remotely as order team.  The long term goal is eventually this going to help migrate to a new system, maybe a database working either in QB or along side of QB database with lot and lot related Product information.  


But while I was doing it last night, something dawned on me.  I like to do this more than shipping and receiving.  But what is it that I am doing?  Is it system design?  I am not sure.  What I know is that it is something that's visible and gives me a satisfaction.  But I feel there's a step that I do not know how to move from forward.  


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


I just checked what's the average time I spend on youtube.  It is well over 2 hours; IG is 48 min.  Both numbers are ridiculous.  And the funny thing is that google showed me the age group for using this apps, the older the group, the less people spend on them, especially IG...  My group is about 25 min per day.  Me?  Double the time...  That's total of more than 3 hours on social media.  Mainly just short video now.  Is that why I feel brain rot?  


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


I left TK for an embarrassing reason.  But I was going to buy those cooking oil thing...  le sigh.  


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


I went and played Ping Pong at BTTC.  I played quite hard yesterday, kept bending my knees and swinging hard.   I enjoyed a good workout, when I left, my should was killing me.  And I can feel it in my body this morning.   When I was leaving, only played about 2 hours, but I was starving.  One of the OG was surprised to see me go, he said many people went for a sandwich then came back for more.  But like I said my should hurts as well, so I still left.  It's probably one of the most intense time I had over there.  Kind like it.

今天的紀錄

 我正聽著 joniMitchell 的 BothSidesNow。  好奇怪,從 Coda 聽到這首歌的當下還不怎麼樣。  可是後來就一直聽。  現在聽的是 NewportFolkFestival2022, 快八十歲了鳩尼現場唱, 有 CardiB 和。 不知怎地我實在好喜歡好喜歡。  似乎可以一直聽下去, 不斷重複。

 因為他沒有光 (約翰福音 11:10)  


不知道為啥,剛坐下來就想到這句話。  這大概是我自己對自己的寫照。  不過, 更接近事實的應該是: 「因為他閉上了眼睛。」

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.

鈔的歌詞

 


Salt Then Sour Then Sweet

Song by SaraBAREILLES ‧ 2025 ::   Lyrics by AndreaGIBSON

Performed by SaraBAREILLES and BrandiCARLILE


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.

一些感想

 翻完李飛飛自傳:

我只能說我是翻完的, 跳過去很多細節。 雖說覺得我很不想看前面他和父母之間的互動、 老師的互動, 我只想看他在人工智能上的追求過程, 但是到了最後的時候, 我不得不佩服他因為對父母的愛, 結合在他對人工智能的看法裡。  而他也在和醫院護理合作下, 希望可以讓人工智能在真正的醫療環境理發揮作用的時候, 他點出了人們對於政府或任何權威對於下面人的監管,那種恐懼和不信任感。  我也看了一下他現在上市的公司, 其實也是類似他為醫院所做的研究的某種延伸。  屬於理體世界的實際資料, 要遠比他開始時的平面資料困難多了。  可以很確定的是, 這立體的資料最終目的應該是機器人。  

我覺得這是一本很聰明的書。 完全體現了這個人的智慧卻沒一點也沒有做作的感覺。  而且他在描述他為人工智能所做出貢獻時, 用簡潔的文字卻讓我可以感受到他在講甚麼。  我覺得很厲害!  我看的是台灣翻譯的版本, 他們的譯文鐵定也是原因之一。  

我滿推薦的。  


--------


我最近看了兩部 HowToTrainYour抓更, 第一部是原版的卡通, 大二部是最近的真人版重拍。  都還不錯, 我對卡通的印象一直都不深, 因為始終都覺得很俗氣, 另外, 看到抓更被訓練成座騎實在有點難過。  但是, 和很多電影一樣, 第一次總是批評, 第二次才正式看到真正的電影 (真好笑, 好像很玄。)  還是可以的電影, 我可能還想把第二三集借來看。  因為幾乎是一個一個鏡頭複製, 真人版就很難跳出來獨立評論。  一比較,我還是喜歡卡通, 很多卡通所帶來的靈動感,真人表演很難到位。  而且和獅子王一樣, 顏色和表情也是卡通更容易透過誇張來表達張力。  不過, 某些地方像是父子之間的互動在某方面來說, 真人版的表現更強烈。  另外, 我也覺得最後的大魔王出來的時候, 真人版的某些鏡頭是比較震撼。  

有趣的是, 是因為胡熒阿姨的催促我才看得。  他還滿投入的說真人版沒有卡通版好。  

另外一點是, Emily 本來是要去看的。  後來聽我說是 Frame by Frame 的翻拍, 他和朋友就改去看 Fan4.  希望他看得高興。  (I ruined her Birthday...  By not regulating my emotion again...)

昨天

 昨天我回來的路上很不舒服。  不是身體上的, 是心理上的。  我心理上一直想著 E。  但我知道我一定只是用這種想法來做藉口。  我鬱悶到要叫出來。  我跟自己說我得找點是讓自己高興起來。  於是回到家媽媽在網上開會,我就邊晚飯邊看起電影來。  不是很有用, 電影勉強可以。  但是我感覺心理的壓力好大好大, 我還是不得不叫出來。  


我很希望可以藉由看甚麼東西把我心裡煩躁的東西掩蓋掉,轉換掉。  稍微有一點效果,但是現在連吃飯都沒有那麼強的安定感了。  I gotta I gotta I gotta find a way to comfort myself.  But I am already doing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     我已經不間斷的做這事做多久了, 恐怕是持續幾個月了吧。  而且連幫助睡覺的白日夢也不想了。  而且很早就醒,卻是起不來。  


我把工作上事情都做完了。  我現在開始看工作。

資料的流向

 公司的基本資料分兩種, 一種是貨物的資料, 另一種是貨物流向的資料。  

我所說的資料主要是流向的資料。  從收貨到出貨。 這種資料最好的資料庫是 QB.  當然, 現在還有 Shpfy。  但是公司的 QB 設計是很粗糙的。  所謂粗糙就是, 裡面既沒有 U/M, 甚至沒有 批號。  這個公司總共三個單位, 一個業務, 一個會計, 一個倉庫。  卻有三個貨物流向的資料庫。  我這個資料庫是很鬆散的定義, 因為倉庫所有的其實只是 明細表格而已。  雖說是電子的, 但畢竟不是資料庫。  我現在這樣說是因為容易一點吧。  

我始終覺得公司的貨物流向資料是從收貨開始。  因為我們會從工廠得到一個 貨物明細。  上面有 U/M 和批號。  雖說這些不會進入 QB 或者 Shpfy, 但是倉庫是會留下來的。  他們收貨的紀錄是一個 十年以上不間斷的紀錄。  

如果公司以後還要把系統升級, 勢必要把這十年由下來的資料作整理。  我最近在做的就是簡單的 把這十年的資料合併在一起。   這裡面有兩個資料我想要用 一個是批號, 另一個是 郵寄追蹤號碼。  

我曾經試著追蹤過 批號的路線。  發現收貨的當下, 批號就不見了, 因為不會放在 QB 裡。  只會在倉庫的明細表裡。  批號第二次出現在任何地方, 是在發貨的時候, 撿貨的時候要記錄下貨物的批號時,才再次出現。  

我修改了 Request list 和 撿貨明細。  我很希望我可以把這兩個明細表和 合併後的收貨資料連在一起。  撿貨明細需要批號, Request list 需要知道收貨明細進貨了沒, 如果進貨了, Request list 需要可以自動記錄。  


我把這寫下來是為了理清自己的想法。

聽到喜歡的

 

雨霖鈴


柳永

寒蟬淒切。對長亭晚,驟雨初歇。都門帳飲無緒,方留戀處、蘭舟催發。執手相看淚眼,竟無語凝噎。念去去、千里煙波,暮靄沉沉楚天闊。

多情自古傷離別。更那堪、冷落清秋節。今宵酒醒何處,楊柳岸、曉風殘月。此去經年,應是良辰、好景虛設。便縱有、千種風情,更與何人說。

Thoughts about work today

 She did most of the work before left for vocation.  I thought it's going to be easy.  So I told the new lady, we could do some orders first, then she could fill the pick list.  Then I can start picking.  But when most of the necessary orders are done, it was already 930.  I started to pick and finished around 1040.  But I dawdled.  There were 2 items I cannot find.  One of them was because of receiving error, should've been 16, but instead, the record showed 61.  The other one just plainly gone.  I think it's still receiving error, but this time it's worse kind of culprit, put in the wrong tray and lost forever...  I was so mad that I even told the new lady to dive in the trays with me, to search for the lost item.  She looked at me with a crazy stare...  Looking at a mad man.  


I am a bit mad, I feel this time, she's not coming back.  not coming back.  I keep telling myself.  doesn't it happen quite often enough now that it should be numb!  Le sigh...


By that time, the labels are already put up.  We just need to change the invoices.  it's about 1230.  The lady asked me if she could go to lunch first. I said sure, I can change the invoices.  After lunch break, we  could do the packing.  I think the real problem is starting time is too late.  But why was it this late?  I think I have trouble distinguishing the priority of orders or customer questions.  

Ideally, the pick should start at 830.  Then the lady could start invoicing.  If she finished invoicing before I finished picking, then she could start some orders, and then do an add on list, then invoicing the add on list.  By the time I picked the add on list, the lady would ideally finishing invoicing, and start to do the box, and or print datasheets.  The time should be around 10, which she could start aliquotting, and me printing labels.  the ideal finishing time is before 1130.  Then 30 minutes around packing.  


I think tomorrow, I will start with the most important ones, hoping to finishing them before 845.  

I will also tell the lady to start the list, then, invoicing, then some orders if before 915.  then another round of invoicing.  The other emails will have to wait after the shipping.
