遺忘詩篇

不經不覺又一年了,今天晚上在又一城看了在第四十二屆香港國際電影節所揀選的第一套電影:法國作品,遺忘詩篇。92分鐘的電影,不算長,節奏很慢,人物、場景很少,故事很簡單。由管理員帶着觀眾從被遺忘的墓園,重尋被遺忘的人和事。

管理員對最後一具未處理屍體的執着,讓故事中人尋回失落的安慰,也讓我們從死亡中緊記持守人性的尊嚴。全套戲的色彩很美,尤如退色的畫;尤其偏愛管理員飯枱上的吊燈及窗外萬家燈火卻又如斯寧靜的夜景。墓園在鏡頭下呈現一種脫離現實的狀態,彷彿在另外一個空間似的,很特別,令人很留戀。

如果你看電影簡介,也許會領略到更多由導演想帶出的訊息,不過我還是喜歡用一份探險的心情去看電影節的戲。今年,是個好的開始,一套令人細味的好戲。你呢?是否已和大家一樣,展開了你的探險之旅?!

 提示:唔好話我唔提你,記得聽埋片尾 Vivaldi 隻 Summer 先好離座呀!

Real Distortion

Lotus pond of Yiu Chung Yee Museum in Hong Kong

I've took this photo quite a long time ago, which was on the same day as the "fluorescent butterfly" in my Anti-gravity blog post , in Oct 2017. 

This is a really nice and tranquil place at Yiu Chung Yee Museum in Hong Kong, as far as I've remember, that was  a rainy day, so tourist were rare; i.e.: the best time for "photo adventure". I was looking for interesting view angle and by chance, this was what I had discovered. 

It looks a little bit weird, right? I mean the angle of view. The truth is, by normal, the direction of vanishing point should be 45 degree at NE, but I twisted my camera + my head, of course :D, to capture this almost isometric view, everything become weightless in a second, especially those furniture, so cool!

If the building at top left can be compressed a little bit more, it will be perfect, but as my usual practice, minimum PS touch is the best; so I  better leave it as it is to remind me they are distorted in real ! Hope you'll like it.
