这两天牙疼,貌似上火让以前没长出智齿的地方发炎了,能拔的都拔了(三颗),因为牙疼真得要命。最疼的时候想撞墙,所以这几天啥事也没做,在一阵阵抽疼的间歇回忆人生。今天终于过去了,因为不能吃消炎药实在是太煎熬了,就像是有个钻子在脑袋里时不时钻两下。
这两天就靠着一部剧安安静静度过了折磨期,why women kill《致命女人》,说实在的是部爽剧,因为流于外表的精彩总觉得缺点什么。三根线交叉同时进行的故事却不凌乱是惊艳的地方,包括转换镜头流畅自然,开头的独白部分以及剧中表演形式更像是舞台剧,第三集与最后结束的探戈设计很是精妙。除了部分三观让人颠覆,太过讨巧的情节,过多想探讨的话题容易杂而不精,总归是一部可以看的剧,剧情不管是内容还是讲述的方式还是很好看的,有点实验性质。
詹姆斯和大桃子已经结束了,原以为听的听力是广播剧,听完才发现标题大写的bluray,电影配乐很好听,一度想起猫和老鼠。因为没有画面反而更领略剧情发展时音乐不同的变换。也想起米兰昆德拉在谈到特拉文斯基与巴赫时提出的问题,音乐除了为了表达情感外能不能以纯音乐性的表现而存在。其实廖昌永老师在点评一些古典音乐也提出过一些古典乐或歌剧在某个时期更偏重技巧。 其实豹豹更偏爱炫技一类的曲目,一口气听下来实在是过瘾。因为是门外汉,觉得音乐好听就是了,求同存异,不见得只能容于一种。像说唱一类个人不喜欢,但也不过多评论什么。
坟场之书慢慢推进吧,已经开始了倒数第三本罗尔德大爷的书boy tales of childhood,年前能进行多少进行多少。鬼妈妈已经完全结束,下一本考虑复习《温夫人的扇子》。就这样子。
