在看韓片《原罪犯》的時候我就一直覺得很熟悉。人性的矛盾糾葛、偶爾天外飛來一筆的幽默,其實背後殘著一個單純不過的小小心願。滿天紛飛的大雪中下流下眼淚,是那麼彌足珍貴。
原來是韓國導演朴贊郁的復仇三部曲,熟悉的感覺來自於年初看的由李英愛主演的《親切的金子》2005。畫面帥氣大叔崔岷植就是《醉畫仙》中才氣過人的瘋狂畫家。
兩部片我是比較偏愛《親切的金子》,因為我覺得《親切的金子》實在太好笑了。可是看《原罪犯》看到後來忍不住想哭(雖然是有給他忍住了)。我identify的對象不是男主角,而是那位長相斯文內心十分痛苦的男配角。在水壩邊,姐姐要求他放手,他一直不放手,那時候我一直在我的電腦畫面出大大的LET GO 跑馬燈。拜託!感情要是深,LET GO談何容易啊!到底要不要讓世俗的道德觀框住你呢?還是要堅持著自己的選擇,實在是太難了。而在水壩旁風光一派的美好,這世上會因為我倆的愛戀變得更好嗎?還是終將毀滅?姐姐在相機裡頭的那抹微笑,「請記得我」的最後叮嚀。
復仇是那麼短,遺忘是那麼長。所以還是聽歌好了。
看這原聲帶的歌曲實在有夠豐富,好聽到爆喔!立刻從電腦放到手機內當鈴聲。
個人特別喜歡Vivaldi的”Four Seasons”,美度一開始用韓語說”擦那捏油” 的”
“The Last Waltz”,”The Old Boy”的旋律,還有"Look Who's Talking"的快節奏。

All in the Name: Tartan Asia Extreme Films

This paper investigates the UK based exhibitor and distributor Tartan Films’ flagship label ‘Asia Extreme’, which has played a pivotal role in promoting and disseminating East Asian films in recent years. As the first distribution label that came out specifically dealing with East Asian films in the UK, Tartan Asia Extreme has successfully released a number of titles that include Audition (1999), Battle Royale (2000), The Isle (2000), Infernal Affairs (2002), Old Boy (2003) and Lady Vengeance (2005). With an extensive (and ever growing) DVD catalogue, Tartan has emerged as the most high-profile label amongst the East Asian film providers in the UK, initially through their highly successful, annual nationwide tour of Asia Extreme Roadshow (2003-2005) and other marketing strategies specifically targeting young audiences. In 2004, Tartan also launched its US branch, employing the same marketing campaigns: stand alone theatrical releases for stronger titles and a roadshow/cinema tie-in across several major cities in the US . The output of the Asia Extreme label, however, tends to ‘lump together’ different types of films from Japan , South Korea , Hong Kong as well as Thailand . Questions are also raised as to the name of the label itself, Asia Extreme, which invokes and in part relies on the Western audiences’ perception of the East as weird and wonderful. In addition, somewhat problematically, the label aspires to be a genre (perhaps meta-genre is a more appropriate term) as the owner of Tartan Films Hamish McAlpine has referred the label to be a “brand – a genre in itself”. Indeed, the ways in which Tartan registers and navigates the vagaries of distinct national cultures and different genres (horror, action, thriller, etc.) gathered under the Asia Extreme banner provide a fascinating site to explore how the West consumes East Asian cinema.
