Cape No.7&Wei Te-Sheng--revive of Taiwanese Films

Before "Cape No.7" released, the Taiwanese films have had low box office for a long time.
But this film got more than five thousand million, and it kicked off the revival of Taiwanese films.
The following is the trailer.

Why did the director, Wei Te-Sheng, start to shoot this movie?
At first, he wanted to shoot the original script of "Seedig Bale."
But he was a rookie in the movie world and nobody wanted to invest for the plan.

He decided to shoot a low cost movie, and that is "Cape No.7."

This film is about some love and lovely stories in Kenting.

There are many different stories about many different people.

For example, the members of cape band comes from different family, they grew up with different time, but all of them have a dream to show their music to more people.

And why do I say that the film represent the revival of Taiwanese films?

After "Cape No.7", people have higher willing to go to watch a Taiwanese film in the theater.

Talk about Giddens Ko's movies~ Part2

Hi everyone, I know you guys expect the d-day that I post the part2, and I found that most of you like Giddens' work last week~

Let me introduce the second Giddens' film: "Cafe.Waiting.Love."

Though it's Giddens' second film, but it wasn't directed by him.

This film is about a coffee shop named "Cafe.Waiting.Love."

The reason why the shop called this name is the proprietress' story when she was youth.

She likes to drink coffee, but her stomach isn't good enough to drink more.

Her husband can brew a special cup of coffee, and she called it "special of proprietress."

Since her husband dead by accident, she has waited a person who can brew the cordial taste for her for a long time.

There are another characters in this film:
A girl who takes a part-time job at this coffee shop, named"思瑩"

思瑩 by 宋芸樺

A clerk who is desired to brew "special of proprietress", and she is the next character's ex-girlfriend, named"阿不思"

阿不思 by 賴雅妍

A senior in 思瑩's university, named"阿拓"

阿拓 by 布魯斯

OK, I think I don't need to talk more about the story, but I will share my experience to this film.

This film isn't like "You're the apple of my eye", it cannot bring me more touch.

But the shooting style and skills are more mature, it can give me better experience of watching a movie.

Talk about the plot.Though there is some ridiculous setting (if you have seen this film, you know what I said), but the plot can give the audiences different and abundant motion.
Take me for an example, my classmate and I cried a lot and laughed a lot when we saw this film at the theater.

Now I have not decided what movie I will introduce to you guys.
But you can look forward to it again!

Talk about Giddens Ko's movies~ Part1

Hi everyone, I think that you guys must hear the name: "九把刀. "

九把刀 Giddens Ko

He's a famous novelist of the new age, and he's also a director and a a literary critic.
Maybe you have not heard the movies or novel of him,
but you might heard some famous sentence like:
"You have to keep fighting during your life."
"Yes, I'm a big idiot, so I have courted you for a long time."

"There is no guilt in love."
The third one is from "Cafe. Waiting. Love", but it's not the point today.
I will introduce the source of the first and second one:"You're the apple of my eye." Let us begin with two trailers.

"I want to be a great man, and make the world a little different because of me." This sentence is almost my life motto. XD
The story is adapted from Giddens Ko's adolescence, and it's almost every adolescent boy's story, too.
There is a 沈佳宜 in every boy's mind, and maybe you are just looking at her with smile, maybe you show some talents to her, maybe you got a good man card by her etc..

沈佳宜 

There are so many "maybe" but I trust there is a truth of them.
You will be touched by the truth about your 沈佳宜, and you will drop your tears because the movie touch your memory and mind.
I just shared some feeling of my own but not to tell you guys more about the details of this story, because I think you should watch this film and feel it by yourselves.

I will introduce the other Giddens Ko's movie "Cafe. Waiting. Love" next week.
I know that you guys must look forward to it. :P

Talk something About My Blog!

Hi everyone, welcome to my first posting of my blog~
Maybe some of you want to ask me: Why don't you talk about all films?
Because I think that foreign films have some difference from those in Taiwan, like culture, language(especially slangs), or the way to transit  their viewpoint.
Take the language for example. 
You can hear some filithy words like "shit" or "fuck" in English films, but when you hear "幹", you will think this is more powerful and cordial, won't you? (Look at this picture, feel that, rightXD?)

Maybe the differences between foreign films and Taiwanese films aren't found by you,
so I will introduce more about the Taiwanese films~
(Sorry, I talk so many useless words. The real reason just is that I like those in Taiwan moreXD)

Let me post some Taiwanese films poster to you guys!
