奶油咪咪的喵言貓語

Last Friday was the last day of Vancouver international film festival. A coworker gave me two free tickets for any movie at the festival. Because of time factor, we chose the very last movie, Citizen Dog. It’s a movie made in Thailand.

整部電影得色彩鮮艷得很不真實 更加突顯
劇中編劇用近似卡通的手法來挖苦現在我們習以為常的一些怪像
例如 一個摩托車taxi driver who never wears 安全帽
有一天被突然下起的安全帽雨 給砸死了

整體而言 配樂非常的恰好
泰語調唱歌有一種特殊的迴腸盪氣
讓電影情境更進一步 感人

The main theme of the movie is this:

If you keep on looking for something, you will never find it. However, if you stop the search, whatever you are looking for will come find you.

"The main character, Pod is a migrant worker from up-country. Before his grandma died she told him that he would grow a tail the next morning if he ever went to work in Bangkok."

This is a very interesting folk tale. The way I interpretate this belief is that when one starts going to big city pursuing ones dream, one actually losts it during the process along with ones passion and ones ability to love. They become like dogs which keep on chasing their own tails without realizing how silly that really is.

本來想看 七劍 但是只有在Toronto 有展
這一部電影出乎意料 的有趣
它用很不 Hollywood 的手法來提醒我們 OL 的盲點
值得推薦

Finally, quoting from: www.fivestarent.com

"This is a surreal and comical love story about Bangkok’s little people: their struggle in search of happiness amidst a rapidly changing world. A world over-flowing with dreams, but void of love and understanding."
