《真相》已经大白,夺奖了!




好电影自然有人欣赏,尤其是专业的从业员。
《真相》已经大白,它刚刚夺下罗马亚洲电影节的Most Original Film Award!

现在唯一担心的是,新加坡的观众到底懂不懂得欣赏?


欲看从速,新加坡上映期到24/10/2007为止。

以下是张咏中导演的最新来邮:

Truth Be Told has just won the Most Original Film Award at the Asian Film Festival of Rome for " the unprecedented sociological analysis of an ever-changing landscape like Singapore. "

Here are some comments I have received so far:

"You have very skillfully crafted your story within the confines of that block of flats and your character development is SUPERB."

"There were no cringe-worthy moments in Truth Be Told. It was professionally-executed all the way through."

"Wow! It's a good movie with great story that touches my heart! I've great time watching! Keep it up! It's a great movie!"

"The movie is not bad at all. Enjoyed it. Well done."

"The scene Renee quarreled with her father, I wept. The father's acting is very good. The scene I like is the father piling the sweet-sour pork on the porcelain flower plate full of rice when Renee returned. Very heart warming. My parents also pile food on my plates."

"...never expect a local production to be so good!"

"The more I watch Truth, the more I love it!"

"I really wish that more people will hear about Truth and watch it, it's a pity for such a good movie to be missed just because of lack of publicity."

"Nice show. I like!"

"Your movie was great!"

18 October - 24 October will be the last week for Truth Be Told in the cinemas. Showtimes are limited! For those who have watched the movie, thank you very much for the support. For those who have not, this is the last chance to experience Bukit Ho Swee's low-income housing on the big screen. Bring your friends and family, organize groups from school, from work and from religious groups to watch this movie.

This might not be the best movie ever made, but it is definitely a Singaporean movie with heart. Passion, hardwork and persistence drive this movie. If we can help bring hope to low-income residents, you can help bring hope to Singapore Independent Filmmaking. Let's pack the halls this weekend and show the nation that we care about the aging population and we care about Singapore's independent filmmaking.

Both Jen Nee and I will be at all the screenings this weekend to thank all our supporters personally. I am sure your support will bring light to our future!

真相,看了才能大白

http://www.truthbetoldmovie.com/

张咏中是新加坡的新进导演,毕业于义安理工学院,上个月《生活》杂志刊登了他的访谈,他对电影的热忱,令我感动。

上个星期五受邀到VivoCity观赏他用了两年半孕育的电影“真相”,觉得诚意十足。如果你肯花一点心思仔细观赏,你会发现这部电影的内容有别于一般的喧哗,它静静地探讨了不少诸如亲情、友情、母爱、世情、自我、虚荣心等矛盾的严谨课题。电影也不忘以幽默的手法,“酸”政府官员的过度自信,看得我们直呼过瘾!

林湘萍虽然初次走上大银幕,但表现不俗,真人也很亲切。最不喜欢它的宣传海报,怎么把林妹妹的漂亮大眼睛给遮了起来?

当然,电影也并非完美,它的情节铺排可以更紧凑,但整体来说,对于第一次拍摄Feature Film的新进导演而言,已经算是达到专业水平,没什么好挑剔的了!

为了促进新加坡电影事业的催生,也为了感受年轻导演的冲劲以及窥探他们对集体记忆的真挚情感,让我们拿出那区区的几块钱,一起走入他们的内在世界,听他们以道地新加坡人的手法说故事吧!

我相信有心的人,会被他的电影触动,而开始思考那些我们常常认为的“理所当然”情境,尔后走出麻木的生活观感,进入思维的浪潮。

他是有心人,我就在这里替他打一下免费广告,希望居住在新加坡的你,能够多多支持!:-)

于此诚意推荐:“真相”

以下是导演给我的来邮:

路与束缚

为自己的未来掌舵,感受自己的存在,没有对错。
找到方向,凑足条件,有何不可?

封建令思想呆滞,走出一条自己清楚又开心的路,心里坦荡荡,这是每一个找路的人找到路之后应有的信心与必然的脚步。

希望下一个脚步不再受束缚,因为再崎岖的路,从来也不曾是束缚。

为我所用,非为我所有

因为充满变数,再稳定的东西也会有变数,很多东西看起来就显得短暂。
时间的长短本来就没什么定义,关键是你如何感受。
满足感也一样。

本来应该如此的东西,何来本来?
它不外又是另一个经过自我精心设定的“理所当然”心态。
明白一切顶多是为我所用,并非为我所有。
才能把满足感搞懂。

否则都是戏论,差别在于几时被变化戳破而已。
