#悲情城市 #acityofsadness

有一種幸福，是當我們在這座城市，才幸褔

有一種不幸，是當我們在這座城市，才不幸

我們都在見證悲情城市裡浪漫有志的人們，有多麽美麗，聚焦與離焦所產生的生活遠景，展現似有若無的美感，以及畫面靜止時土地自然散發的莊嚴，都讓我們深切體會，我們是多麽悲傷的生活在如此爛漫的土地上。

一場百般聊賴的場景，卻也說出人人都彷彿是這場戲的主角。

為了生而力竭致死，滿懷著對自由的渴望，而緬懷這塊土地的過往，肩負著前人展望的夙夜，我們與他們，都想望著一樣的星夜，懷想著幸福的光景。

唯有一種言不由衷的悲痛欲絕與趾高氣揚的昂貴尊嚴夾雜，真正的自由才得以展露鋒芒，這片土地槍聲四起，請別忘記我們終究歸根於哪，因為儘管我們裝聾作啞，我們都已逃脫不了這份責任，必須以自由為傲的責任。

A City of Sadness. Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, 3-H Films, 1989.

Much can be said about the effects of war.

The mutilated, unrecognizable cadavers. The stench of gunpowder and burnt soil hovering all over the land. The shells of each bullet and fragments of each explosive. The torn uniforms. The blood-stained shoreline.

But that’s just at the frontlines. What are we left with when we return home?

Families, torn apart only to be tossed back in together again. Businesses struggling over the scraps, get trampled by the scheming wealthy businessmen. A government, barely holding on to its power, kills its own constituents out of fear. Fear that its citizens will slowly realize they have no idea what to do with the power entrusted to them.

Far from the battlefield, we are left with broken homes, bankrupt businesses, and elites killing each other in vying for power.

For war doesn’t just bring death. It also imposes an inconsolable sadness.

聽著悲情城市原聲唱片，思考這個年代的香港，為什麼這個城市會悲情起來 ? 電影悲情城市背景，有點像香港，脫離殖民統治，在過渡期政治動盪環境下，人民的身份認同，如何生活，面對和適應。( 詳細唔講，太長篇，自己搵嚟睇啦 ) #悲情城市 #acityofsadness #侯孝賢 #sens #soundtrack #lp #records #vinyl #vinylpassion #vinylchallenge #vinyloftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CB-yKEKASzpzDVJVdpOBo5qYkv4D8KKacHBWQk0/?igshid=ozapjo7n7i7s
