What food do you hate? "A Pure Formality" 1994, dir Polanski ***half

 "A Pure Formality" 1994, dir Polanski ***half



Somebody asked what foods do you hate on fb... actually, if you hate it, why, why do you hate it? There are tons of other foods in the world, why focus on what you hate? Whats the purpose of the question? I understand in this question more like, I dont like it, and I wonder why some people do. What I like to see is the details of the answers, as usual. One way or the other. There is a scene in a movie about a writer who died we only hear a gun shot, and the movie was a "who dunnit?" The dead goes to the next life, before going to the next life, he met the inquisitor , the man who controls the accts, he has to answer to the "accts to your life" type of role, asked many questions. What he did in his life, who killed him, what and how it happened etc, the "him" in the movie cannot remember how he died. He started to have a long sequence of memories, and of the whole movie, I especially remembered this great monologue of how he hated milk.

Most of the answers were single words, true to internet fb culture.

In fact the movie was directed by Polanski who also played inquisitor, and the writer who was being asked to soul seach was Depardieu -  a great scene.

Some movies have specific great scenes, this monologue is so moving, similar to the Cyrano speech hiding in the bush. :)

Pint size Glass milk carton
Glass milk carton, the pint size. This is the pint size carton but formalised in glass, I think I have the same in a candy container in transparent plastic. This is a drink for school children. They pack this in lunch boxes. The original was in waxed carton. When I was in primary school, three children in the class would have the milk given to them. I did not understand why these children had milk and others did not. Nobody talked about it either. Maybe, when they grow up, they also hate milk too?

Young art form XiangSheng: comic dialogue

 


@swannjiejiechow3495
v gd, funny, i like Da Shan 'big mountain) that Canadian caucasian guy who speaks mandarin like a Chinese person, hes funny, rhythm sounds, he talks about how to speak Cantonese. I wonder what else he did? Here, I learn about master XangSheng, i see i had misunderstoond, i thought its means two people talking but in fact it means picture+sound. Master Ma has a tone thats v interesting to listen to, his content is his own not commentaries on other peoples work. I think a gd wirter or speaker should be able to elaborate beyond the subject, and this show strong point is exactly this, its like a tree rooting to many places. Great enjoyment for all.

@swannjiejiechow3495
it depends on who the audience is, who is paying you? For example,at a university - if hiring process is based on student evaluations, then, the students are the paying component, do you give a lesson thats "too hard" to get gd grades? etc; If its a general public online lesson, then, you must have a good portion of your talk available for anybody, and reserve maybe 10, to 15percent, hard stuff, this is for the students who are willing to work, and curious. Its like a night bus, night bus are not the same as a day bus, day bus is for the general public, night bus is for the few who really need and could benefit from having night bus service. So, i would say, you still have easy access info plus some tougher subjects. Just like in high school math classes, you could do all the exercises but at the end of the lesson, there are some v tough math questions, sometimes even teachers cannot solve. But the questions are there, and there will be one or two students who bother to try to solve them. From the teacher's side, its also important to be interested by more curious students and not all regular students. Teacher will benefit for those outliers so to speak.

if you want your father to stay w you, food etc, how about get someone to have lunch w
him? Isnt it cheaper to eat well and enjoy company instead of having malnutrition, feeling weak? At a certain age, eating and enjoying time is the most valuable thing you could do. Give your father something to do and let him know that he earned it? And the earning comes w a food package! :)

There is a movie call "pulp fiction" w John Travolta and Harvey Keitel, Keitel plays a character, he is a problem solver, each problem gets a solution! And he had a pile of dollars, everything is easily solved. That is a job i really want to do, when i hear of people problems, I think how could we solve this? :)

Self Creations of the 50s, how and what type of self creations are possible for women?

Shuengit Chow
Yes, one is sexy innocent charm. You want to hold her in your arms. The other yg pretty boyish gd looking girl, but not voluptuous. MM says, hi, you want to come talk w me?, and AH says, so, whats up? MM's pose is one that has stopped and about to move forwards, the accentuated S of the back, shows most weight was posed on the left leg, and right leg about to move. AH, is moving, not in a static pose, shes walking away but turns around to see whats up. She was a ballet dancer, back v straight. Thus she looks a bit more rigid/taut than an ordinary person. The 27yr old MM is more child like, her face is open, and AH at 23 younger, has seen stuff and she is wary.

Breakfast at Tiffanys, was a role written for Marilyn Monroe, but Hepburn was cast. And what a missed opportunity for MM. And for us! Such a great artist.

Learning Chinese 第一次旅行

你的第一次旅行在什么时候?旅行不能太晚,要趁早?穷的时候旅游最刻苦铭心? #圓桌派#窦文涛#許子東#馬家輝

 


@swannjiejiechow3495
Interesting, how to talk to a foreigner who wants to learn Chinese, happened to me too, i taught the yg women to sing, a simple song.Three tigers. Tune to Frères Jacques. She learnt it, and I said, now, when you see some Chinese person, tell them, you could sing in Chinese, and they will be so happy to listen to you and you will have lots of people wanting to talk to you in Chinese. :) I love to travel, not w tours, just with a simple project in mind, maybe to look for local simple objects, in simple markets, not at souvenir shops, go have drink somewhere, see some local sites. Its better to go with someone else not alone, for safety and interaction purpose. Oh, but this story always ends in the same way, people wanting to make a buck off you, so , its not such a friendly friendship thing... everything ends in the normal way then. :) But then, writers are digging for stories, is it right for these two girls to share this moment - ? Too difficult to say
