再如何不可一世的人, 也總有棋逢敵手的一天... 這一篇我想要來囉嗦一下紅執事vs黑執事之間的關係~ 紅執事全名是Grell Sutcliff, 原本首度出場的身份是少爺Ciel姨媽紅夫人Angelina Dulles家的執事, 戴副眼鏡, 過肩長髮齊整但拘束的束在頸後, 一看就給人無能又怕事的印象, 但其實他是一名紅髮綠眼的嗜血死神, 殘暴自戀又三八, 只是因為愛慕紅夫人不為人知的黑暗面, 所以偽裝成懦弱依賴的形象陪在她身邊, 然而後來當紅夫人因故讓他失去興趣(為劇透緣故無法說明), 他後來竟(移情別戀?!)轉對黑執事Sebastian著迷到幾近五體投地...

黑執事基本上有它一個小小的裏世界, 角色彼此之間有淡然卻又曖昧的牽扯, 由一條條有時幾乎隱形的絲線勾勒在一起~ 然後當然必須一提的是堪稱本作品中心思想的主從關係: 少爺與惡魔執事, 女王與Phantomhive家, 紅夫人與紅執事, 人類與魔犬, 蘇格蘭警長與助手... 太多太多不勝枚舉, 不過最妙的是往往不少組合都是外貌似僕從的角色事實上才是真正握權在手的操控者, 不到必要關頭是絕對不會亮牌, 真是一個到處是腹黑的動漫劇場啊!!

到目前為止黑執事的動畫可說絕對比漫畫出色, 雖然平面彩畫相當有其耽美度; 故事主要是敘述幼時有不幸遭遇失去雙親的貴族少年Ciel是伯爵家繼承人, 為了復仇而與惡魔訂下契約, 惡魔以萬能執事Sebastian的姿態陪伴著孤獨的少年, 等著在助其復仇之際取他靈魂~ 時代是英國維多利亞女王時期的歌德風格, 至於背景與設定考究與否我想就睜一隻眼閉一隻眼吧!! 畢竟不是每齣劇都看得到天使被塑造成壞人, 而觀眾也不見得常有機會站在惡魔這一邊...

Sometimes things happen at random, while sometimes things take turns to happen. Will we be able to tell when the moment comes and seize the chance in time?? How can we be so sure that our decisions are the right ones?? If we could foresee the future, would we still be able to live our lives in peace?? When you make up your mind to let go of what's ( Read more... )

我瘋了!! 從沒玩過Final Fantasy系列的我, 入手了Dissidia Final Fantasy這款二十周年紀念遊戲不說, 開玩還是使用遊戲同捆主機... 天野喜孝人設漂亮自是不在話下, 整體遊戲音樂也不賴, 但是最吸引我的當然還是負責配音的堅強聲優陣容!! 同時片頭影片令人熱血沸騰, 一開始進入故事模式, 平時非玩家的我連東南西北都搞不清楚, 真是眼都花了, 還是要靠網路上搜尋攻略來瞭解一下系統基本操作才得以順利進行...

I confess I didn't watch enough movies in 2008, so here's a quick Top 10 movie list featuring movies that I saw that was shown in cinema in Taiwan during last year. There are a few here and there that I've not time to catch up yet, and I hope I will soon this year ( Read more... )

謝謝valbasement提醒我有這部原文名叫"Låt den rätte komma in"的瑞典片, 讓我今年又多看了一部好電影!!

台版的譯名是"血色入侵", 嗯是的, 就是這樣的片名, 它基本上結合了愛情與恐怖兩大元素, 再加上拍得乾淨清晰的北歐式色調與呈現手法, 讓這部片很難過目即忘... 有機會希望在大銀幕上看到它的全面商業放映~ 話說電影劇本是原著作者自己改編的, 台灣有小說譯本嗎??

Even though the new UK R2 ITV re-release of "Brideshead Revisited" on DVD isn't really worth it, the TV series itself is still one of the best out there. I still yearn for the Spanish release, and one day maybe the Dutch release as well. Dream on, yes, I know... Thank gosh the original TV version of Charles & Sebastian shall always stand the test ( Read more... )

What a day!! It was cold and slightly windy @ 9C or so, but at the end of the day it's not quite bad even though my neck is now a bit sore after all the Jarvis Cocker-spotting, lol. Well, there were a lot of ppl there of course, what you'd expect at a music festival... I wasn't there last time in 2006, but this time I decided to give it a go. ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm a Kylie fan. It's been 20 years already, since I 1st heard of Kylie... and it's great to catch her in concert tonight in Taipei, even though the location was crap and PA was lousy. Gotta love the tunes and the tour wardrobe... I guessed right!! They are indeed by Jean-Paul Gaultier!! They're all gorgeous!! And I ended up buying the ( Read more... )
