Watchman

Tonight a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why.....

Rorschach's Journal: October 12th 1985





Watchman no doubt has created a new set of trend for superheros.
For a Hollywood blockbuster movie, Watchman certainly had its advantages such as good action sciences, sex, and lots of good visual effects and so on.And it is clear that the directer tried hard to replicate what was in the comics. For the fact that he tried to recreate the original comics, Zack Snyder focused too much on all the details, it became too redundant and trivial. And also, there are simply too many metaphors. It might be better if it was a TV series or something like it, that I agree with Fanboy


After watching this movie, it does rise a few arguments.

First I will start with the ordinariness in superheros. In Watchman, superheros might get killed, locked in, not to mention aged and lost shapes. Some of them were really powerful and talented, the rest of them are just average people like you and me. I admire the way Zack Synder enhance or choose not to ignore their wrinkles. This really brings it out more. It further shows how subjugated they were to a greater other out there. When facing the calling of the otherness(by using the word "otherness", I meant it in a more philosophical way. It could be the national machine or an image that they are longing for), they don't always make the right decisions. Take the Comedian for example, he tried to rape silk, killed woman and children cold bloodily, none of these are what we expected from superheros. In his world, once you figure out what a a joke everything is, being the Comedian's the only thing that makes sense.

The death of the comedian brings out the "memory". Everyone remembers him differently, it is exactly by try to retrace their memory, people get to recreate something new. Something they would never imagine.

放下

越是想放下 就越放不下

越是想減肥 就越減不了

低腰褲 low cut jeans...


不知道從何時開始 低腰褲開始成為時尚的代表
每當電視上想要諷刺某人是個書呆子的時候
肯定是讓他穿上 高腰褲

不過風水輪流轉 這一兩年高腰褲又開始漸漸復燃
打開我的衣櫃 裡面無一例外的 皆為肚臍以下的低腰褲
並非我獨鍾低腰褲 在台灣可還真的買不到高腰褲 (笑)

在這裡我還是得為低腰褲說一句公道話
低腰褲穿的好的話 是真的蠻性感的! (哈,又一被洗腦的最佳範例)

對於低腰褲,我也有一些不明白之處
褲腰越低 在某種程度上來說 不是腿更短了嗎?
而且低腰褲還真非人人能穿
過胖的人士 穿低腰褲 腹部的肥肉被擠的一圈一圈 只能以慘不忍睹來形容

George W. Bush on Trust


“And there is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I’m sorry it’s the case, and I’ll work hard to try to elevate it.”

疏離

文學理論中,俄國的形式主義者認為 :『文學是與現實的疏離』
文學中所使用的語法、詞彙,多是與現實脫離無法輕易被理解的。

寫作的意義不就是想把自己心理的感覺表達出來嗎?
假若,寫作的意義只為製造出一種疏離感,如此豈不是將文學限制在個人的領域?
對我來說,寫作的意義不僅僅在於抒發個人情感;更重要的是,在寫作完成後,被閱讀的過程。
我害怕被閱讀,也許是一種潛意識裡缺乏自信的表徵。
但是,不被閱讀,反而是一種更深沈的悲哀。

無題

在開始之前 就應該知道會有這樣的結果
再怎麼說 也不是不是知道自己被詛咒
不顧一切向前衝的結果是 讓周遭的人 相關或是不相關 都受到傷害
我不知道怎麼處理我跟你
一昧的閃躲不是一個好辦法
怎麼就只有我躲你 你有躲我嗎?

My life will



















This is my new favorite song by Deserts Xuan


看著我沉默的憂傷
說不懂 不能懂 你以為夠明確的
我怎麼會迷惑的 生命的 真相

然而 忘了我們分別的語言
分別的視線
分別過去的餘煙
所以你總是知道 卻也總是不理解

my life will find its way; I say
(so, we will)
still love, still hate; we will get and lose, and all will still remain
my life will find its way; I say
(and we are)
but the body and the spirit

也不知道我是不是羨慕你的
但這應才是最傷人的地方
我想你一直都同意
領悟或看開些什麼真得需要時間
可 我野放的心
我是 在遠的邊界看你 想
怎麼過 都別給限

my life will find its way; I say
(so, we will)
still love, still hate; we will get and lose, and all will still remain
my life will find its way, I say
(and we are)
but the body and the spirit

my life will find its way; I say
(so, we will)
still love, still hate; we will get and lose, and all will still remain
my life will find its way; I say
(and we are)
but the body and the spirit
(we are…)
but the body and the …

Yes, We can!


The result of 2008 American Presidential election will be reveled after November 4th. As a Taiwanese, I feel not so strongly related to it. After I am not American, my words, my thoughts won't matter. However, on the other hand, America as the most power country , also known as World Police. It is extremely important for almost everyone who lives on this planet. To be honest, you will never know ,maybe one day, one decision made by Americans will change your country, you life. Imagine, one day American tell Chinese it is okay to attack Taiwan.... Under this kind of fear, I have been told it is more beneficial for Taiwan if Republican get the office. They would lean more to Taiwan.

The election at 2000, I remember I was trill to find out that George W. Bush got elected. At the time, I thought it might be better for Taiwan. The fact is, nothing changed . Everything remains the same like the Clinton's time. Party shifting doesn't mean much. Of course, it will be a bit different but nothing drastic. At least not in eyes. It makes me wonder, if it doesn't matter much who takes office, then maybe we should really look into their economic, education, social welfare policy, etc.

This year, I start to pay more attention into American President election. Mostly because we are facing the greatest repression after 1920. Even till now, none can make a solid conclusion why the great depression happened in 20's, not to mention the one we are facing now. We are at our new "low". However most of us fear that this is not the darkest time yet. The worst is on its way about to come. At such a chaos time, we need someone who cares about us not the lobbyists, speaks for us, not for the big corporation, knows what we need, not what the top10% need. For some reason I can really see this quality in Obama. Yes, it could all be a very successful campaign. This will all be another campaign slogan.

This might be a weird analogy, but I can really see the similarity in Obama's campaign and communism.This probably is going to cause a lot of confusion and misunderstanding. After all, people who grow up with capitalism often intimated by communism. But what I meant here is not about that, I meant the power to affect you, the power to make believe. Yes, I want to believe. I want to believe that we can change, we can make a difference. No matter how many times, I have seen Obama's campaign, his foreign, energy, economic, education, tax policies and etc. I feel like I can see hope in America.



Lyrics-

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.
