军械库：历史上的武器第一季

　　Seventy years ago this month the bombing of Hiroshima showed the appalling destructive power of the atomic bomb. Mark Cousins’ bold new documentary looks at death in the atomic age, but life too. Using only archive film and a new musical score by the band Mogwai, Atomic shows us an impressionistic kaleidoscope of our nuclear times: protest marches, Cold War sabre rattling, Chernobyl and Fukishima, but also the sublime beauty of the atomic world, and how X Rays and MRI scans have improved human lives. The nuclear age has been a nightmare, but dreamlike too.

　　康斯坦丁·谢尔盖耶维奇·斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基是二十世纪的戏剧天才，由于他强大而非凡的才能，他设法在严酷的苏联体制中保持一个真正的艺术家所有的自由精神。在电影中，当代戏剧和电影导演们展示了斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基如何影响他们的日常工作。在寻找现代戏剧是否真的需要斯坦尼斯拉夫斯基这个问题的答案时，他们发现艺术缺乏其最本质的部分——人。

　　位于加拿大曼尼托巴省的城镇温尼伯，听来遥远陌生，在盖·马汀的掌镜下，却生成了乡愁的有机体。透过梦呓的旁白说书、迷幻写实的黑白光影，导演亲自带路，娓娓道来家乡的历史、自然与人文踪迹，以及谜样传说。建构故事与剪接纪实之余，导演对家乡的抒情神往与奇想，让影片依附着神秘和追忆穿越时空，恍如隔世却又亲密温馨。
　　现代, 加拿大 Manitoba 省 Winnipeg 市~ 导演 Guy Maddin 独坐在火车上, 正准备离开黑白色的家乡 Winnipeg, 和处处监管着他一举一动的母亲~ 一路上, 他在半梦半醒中忆述故乡的种种往事, 一些充满回忆的建筑物, 还有童年时与家人相处的点点滴滴~
　　评语
　　加拿大导演 Guy Maddin 最近几部电影都沾上一点自传气息, “Cowards Bend the Knees” (弱者无腰骨) [2003] 以自己为主角讲冰上曲棍球, 上一部长片 “Brand Upon the Brain!” (追忆少年狂) [2006] 仍充当主角诉说一个奇情侦探故事, 今次索性以自己的童年和家乡 Winnipeg 的历史为题, 拍出一部充满奇想的自传电影~ 又或者如映后摄影师兼监制 Jody Shapiro 及导演在访问中所言, 称之为一部 “幻想纪录片” (docu-fantasia) 或更加合适~
　　Guy Maddin 一向扮默片残片的新潮复古风格在这里依然处处可见, 不过这手法在此更成为一种实用而贴切的表现形式, 配合有如印象主义式的超快速剪接和导演本人不停喃喃自语的内心独白, 以表达主角 Guy Maddin (Darcy Fehr 饰) 半梦半醒的混乱思绪和复杂错乱的回忆片段~ 黑白菲林和残片朦胧不清的效果, 也正好切合长年严寒飘雪, 色彩单调的城市 Winnipeg 的风貌~
　　在 “My Winnipeg” 故事中反覆重现的种种元素, 简直像是心理分析理论的教材, 例如缠绕心头不去的童年往事, 儿子对母亲又爱又怕的矛盾关系~ 那些一闪即逝的字幕卡就如被抑压的旧记忆, 主角对河流交汇处和母亲双腿的迷恋, 就如他一直潜藏在心底的 fixation~
　　不过, 要是太严肃和理论性地分析这电影, 或会忽略这其实是一部非常有趣, 非常感人, 非常富创意, 刻意让真实与虚构混驳不清的独特作品~ 电影一方面把 Winnipeg 这个天气异常寒冷的偏远城市写成一个饶富诗意, 满街都是梦游者的地方, 又把城中的历史大事串连成一个个私人的回忆, 对一些具纪录价值的建筑物加上个人的情感投射, 爸爸的冰上曲棍球场和母亲的发廊固然是的场所, 就连镇上的名人们也成为追忆依恋的对象~

　　James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?

　　生活就是艺术，人人皆有诗心。六名打工者，六个我们最熟悉的陌生人，漂泊于故乡与城市之间，忙碌于幽深的矿井与轰鸣的流水线，饱经人间冷暖，同时将这样的生活化作动人的诗篇。“我的诗篇”就是写给世界的情书，来自地心深处、矿洞尽头、归乡途中、新婚之夜，来自所有诗意照进现实的时刻；而《我的诗篇》则是关于平凡世界与非凡诗意的故事，蕴含着对陌生人最深切的祝福。

　　Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore dives right into hostile territory with his daring and hilarious one-man show, deep in the heart of TrumpLand in the weeks before the 2016 election.
　　2016美国总统选战正酣之际，迈克摩尔带着他的个人秀深入最支持特朗普的地区进行表演，并记录下了整个过程。
　　摩尔之前就 “警告大家特朗普有可能获胜”。早前，他就向公众宣布自己在十月份会有大动作，并且在 Facebook 上说自己要去俄亥俄威明顿市的一个 “共和党小城” 演出，“那里有25000个注册选民，却只有500个民主党人。”
　　说到拍片的目的，他说：“我就是想问问这些选民的目的达到了没有，并且为这场有史以来最疯狂的选举做一场更加疯狂的演出。”——《VICE中国》报道

　　A sharp, witty, mind-expanding and exuberant foray into the world of logic with computer scientist Professor Dave Cliff. Following in the footsteps of the award-winning 'The Joy of Stats' and its sequel, 'Tails You Win - The Science of Chance', this film takes viewers on a new rollercoaster ride through philosophy, maths, science and technology- all of which, under the bonnet, run on logic.
　　Wielding the same wit and wisdom, animation and gleeful nerdery as its predecessors, this film journeys from Aristotle to Alice in Wonderland, sci-fi to supercomputers to tell the fascinating story of the quest for certainty and the fundamentals of sound reasoning itself.
　　Dave Cliff, professor of computer science and engineering at Bristol University, is no abstract theoretician. 15 years ago he combined logic and a bit of maths to write one of the first computer programs to outperform humans at trading stocks and shares. Giving away the software for free, he says, was not his most logical move...
　　With the help of 25 seven-year-olds, Professor Cliff creates, for the first time ever, a computer made entirely of children, running on nothing but logic. We also meet the world's brainiest whizz-kids, competing at the International Olympiad of Informatics in Brisbane, Australia.
　　'The Joy of Logic' also hails logic's all-time heroes: George Boole who moved logic beyond philosophy to mathematics; Bertrand Russell, who took 360+ pages but heroically proved that 1 + 1 = 2; Kurt Godel, who brought logic to its knees by demonstrating that some truths are unprovable; and Alan Turing, who, with what Cliff calls an 'almost exquisite paradox', was inspired by this huge setback to logic to conceive the computer.
　　Ultimately, the film asks, can humans really stay ahead? Could today's generation of logical computing machines be smarter than us? What does that tell us about our own brains, and just how 'logical' we really are...?
