筆者第一次知道動見体劇團是因為去了趟華山文創看了狂想劇場的「I'm the man」，劇中表演的電視台編劇阿浩的王靖惇演員也參與了這的演出「離家不遠」，扮演著一個家庭中13位成員的其中之一，這場戲劇沒有主角，一個家庭的組成每一位都扮演著重要的演出。13個人的「聚」與「離」透過預期與非預期的安排，表達出相聚中散落的主體，而或離散之間又是一個家族的情境，重覆著（預期）過年團圓和（非預期）親人過往告別式的碰面，劇場利用不同群體間，群體內的互動充分表現出一個家族的現實。

首先，狂想劇場的舞台劇I'm the man由字面可以明顯的看出戲劇肯定是由男人為主軸，在Men's Talk的對談之中帶出現實生活的壓力與內心夢想的差距。這場戲劇表演沒有華麗的舞台效果，由三位優秀的演員，電視台編劇阿浩(王靖惇飾)，工場主任小康(黃民安飾)，直銷公司經理王子東（王辰驊飾）所飾演，劇中更穿插一位女演員飾演他們心中的女神，劇情帶出許多對比完全透露出現實與夢想間的落差。女神與凡間的三位男人；女神夢想的實現與三位男人現實掙扎；女神呈現時的輕浮淡寫與三位男人生活時的黯沉重刻，處處呈現強烈對比。
在看完舞台劇I'm the man之後，或許心中會有一股聲音說著，我的現實人生就是如此無奈阿! 我沒有資格，時間作夢，我沒有能力實現夢想，甚至有些人根本告訴自己我的人生就是如此了，我放棄作夢。但反觀衝破極限這個電影，便是告訴我們每個人都可以作夢，有自己的夢想，但是要實現夢想並不是那麼的簡單，你必須要在現實中更加茁壯，不要屈服於任何的恐懼之下，一但時間到了，你是可以作夢，並且實現夢想的。
"Live like Jay" (活的像傑一樣)
在電影的片尾，Jay(莫瑞亞提)雖然僅僅渡過了22個年頭，但牆上的塗鴉寫著大家從他身上看到的正面態度，對自我的期許。人生中我們會面臨到許多阻擾你實現夢想的人事物，誰規定我們不能夠作夢，不能夠有夢想? 如果你受到了外界的限制，限制了自己，那麼永遠都無法踏出這個圈圈。沒有人規定何時你才能夠實現你的夢想，或許你像I'm the man的三位男人一樣仍然在為生活而苟活，或許你已經過了像Jay一樣的15歲便征服挑戰了自我的年紀，但請Live like Jay，保持著正面保有希望的態度，因為你應該沒有比下面要說的不老騎士這些爺爺條件來的差吧? 他們可能身體狀況已經不好，年紀已經非常的年長了，但他們的正面態度，請感受一下，我們這些年輕人。
這齣電影的英文名字是Love is Sin. 原本筆者非常疑惑，為什麼愛是一種罪過呢？其實這是阿免姨的一個Secret也是一個Sin，心中對於親情的寄托有30年之久，也因此愧疚之心也存在了30年之久。這個秘密就待各位進到了戲院去發掘，但筆者想說的是也許我們都有遺憾，都有些事情說不出口，而有些曾經逼不得已所犯的罪過，但唯有真實的面對，才可能往前走一步。若對方已經面對，我們也不妨選擇原諒來解開不解之結。（這...用講的好簡單，筆者也是還在學習當中啊！）
網路雖可以讓相距甚遠的兩個人聯繫上，但卻無法完全取代Face to face的真實。劇中的痞子蔡與輕舞飛揚也是如此，透過文字，一方只能針對另外一方所回應的文字作反應，但是無法完全知道對方所有的表情，動作。筆者認為台灣戲劇表演家為了讓觀眾可以充份感受到網路一方：痞子蔡對於文字（來自輕舞飛揚）的所有反應；又希望觀眾也可以感受到令外一方：輕舞飛揚對於文字（來自痞子蔡）的所有反應，巧妙的利用中間的投影布幕隔開兩人，並以不同場景呈現出痞子蔡或者輕舞飛揚在文字背後的所有的動機，情緒，想法與動作。
這場戲劇導演郭文泰呼應法國當代前衛劇場大師，亞陶，企圖打破過去戲劇的慣性。除了承襲亞陶所提出的「殘酷劇場」(Theatre of Cruelty)概念，其利用觀眾所陌生，甚至扭曲的聲光效果，或其他能夠立即衝擊觀眾感官元素，藉此表達現實的事件。特別的是亞陶提出：文本(Text)可能會凌駕所要呈現給觀眾的含義(Meaning)，他主張戲劇的語言，與觀眾間的語言，並非文字，而是介於思想(Thought)與體態(Gesture)的一種讓觀眾可以單純捕捉出個別現實經驗的特定語言。
War Horse is a 1982 children's novel set before and during World War I. The movie is better than I expected. I was wondering how director Steven Spielberg demonstrates the story of just a horse. Besides, I was so curious that how strong and glorious the horse is. The age traced back to the World War I and the horse was born in Devon, England, the south-west England. Movies pointing out the conflicts between cruelty of wars and seamless human relationships tries to impress audiences. War Horse did it the same, but the difference is that it's about the affection between the horse and a young boy.
In Devon, England, a boy called Albert Narracott watches the birth of a thoroghbred coal. One day, Ted, Albert's father buys the colt at auction despite his friends tell him there's more suitable plow horse for his farm. The desire to despite the landload, and retain his pride are the apparent movitations for Ted to make higher and higher bid for this colt with impulse.
Afterwards, Albert starts training the young horse called Joey for the plow and prepare the stony hillside fields to plant turnips. Alberts' neighbour, Andrew, is astonished that the training really works. It means Ted will be able to pay the rent to the landlord in Autumn season. However, Unfortuantely...a huge rainstorm destroys all their crops. Ted is forced to sell Joey, the horse raised by Albert, to a cavalry sergent without informing Albert. Albert is pleading to keep Joey in his side, but his father needs money. The horse starts his war life from now on......
The story moves forward to 1918 where Albert has enlisted to serve the military. Albert and Joey are seperated for many years until Joey escapes and runs into the No-Man's land where he gallops through the devastating destruction of the Somme and gets entangled in barbed wire. The horse, Joey is miraculously rescued from the No-Man's land, even people won't survive from there. Finally Joey comes back to Albert!
Whole movie you can feel that the affection between horses, Joey and Topthorn, another black strong horse well trained for millitary service. Joey substitute Topthorn to tug the heavy Germany artillery because he takes notice of Topthorn's bad condition of health. Moveorver, the affections between Albert (human) and Joey (horse) you can feel everywhere in the movie. Albert is always looking for him and Joey always remember Albert. It can be found that Albert whistle like a owl, and Joey will always come to him.
Interesting topic for you to see the movie...:)
Love Actually is a movie published in 1993. It's been 9-year-old movie. As remembered, I went to the movie theatre to see this lovely, romantic movie. It follows the lives of eight very differnt couples in dealing with their love lives. It is a UK movie and all tales are happened in London in a frantic month before Christmas. "Christmas is the time to be with the people you love!" Does the sentence make you more couragous to tell your lover how much you love her/him?
I saw the romantic comedy many times and it touched me all the time. More than eight stories told me love is beyond ages, nationalities, positions, and so on... Different love stories all comes from a common belief. People believe they have to be with their lovers especially on Christmas Eve. Christmas is a very important holiday in western countries. They are used to being with their family, the most important people for them, just like our reunion on Chinese New Year Eve.
I would not tell you all tales in this movie, because I hope you can feel their love and yours by watching this movie. However, I would like to share one of my favourite love stories with you. It's my favourite part of this movie. Always it is...after seeing many times of this comedy. It is a lovely tale, but a little bit sorrow...It's about the triangle relationship between bride, groom and groomsman. They are good friends and groomsman never shows his fancy on the bride until the secret revealed...
Let's take a look that how the groomsman shows his love to the bride...On Christmas Eve, the groomsman went to the couple's house, and the wife answered the door...He prepared a few of boards with words and pictures to express how he was in love with the bride. Never said a word, but just slideshowed the boards. Afterwards, he got a kiss and felt it's ENOUGH...ENOUGH...ENOUGH...A little bit sad for me, but it could be the best result for them. For the groomsman, he had a perfect end and a new start from now on...So touching to me!
"TO ME, YOU ARE PERFECT!" Even though I haven't had the chance to tell you this, I truly believe these words you deserved. Sometimes I heard you said you're picky and not good enough, but have you ever thought you are the perfect one to me for sure.
It's really a romantic comedy for you all to see!!
The Hunger Games is a young adult novel written by Suzzane Collins. Many friends read the three book before and recommend us to reading the books and seeing the movie. I believe the plot is not so unique. You might find some similar TV programs, movies and books. The topic most attractive to me is the human nature. Human nature would be extracted when people are struggling for being alive. It's really an interesting topic, especially the conflict with love and lives...Have you ever thought how much can you sacrifice yourself to keep your love safe? I had...
The story goes...
A country, Panem, was dividied into Capitol and 12 districts. Two young boy and girl from each district will be selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. The 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, because only one can survive. The games are held for part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts.
"The Hunger Games, may the odds be ever in your favour?" Tributes are always inspired by this phrase. Do you notify the purpose of the games? Part entertainment and part intimidation...Frankly it's a game for riches, but a kill for poors...It shows that it is not a fair game. The odds were never in poors' favour.
16-year-old Katniss living in the poorest district 12 volunteers to participate in this hunger game, because her sister is selected as the mining district's female representative. She wants to take her sister's place. She is good at shooting arrow, because she has to hunt for foods. As abovementioned, it's not a fair game! Katniss is pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have well trained for this for their whole lives...
I guess you might expect the movie will focus on slaughter. Me too! However, the movie emphysizes on social networking and emotional actions more. I really love this point. Whole movie fully expresses the emotions commitment, betrayal, group behaviour and human nature. Even though only one person can survive, some competitors organise a group to make themselves stronger in order to eliminate others easier. Weaker ones rely on stronger participants. Besides, they also have emotions commitment for people from the same districts. You can watch the emotions throughout the movie.
Maybe you won't have this game in your life, but I believe the emotions can be applied to some other situations. Will you count on someone with trust? Will someone rely on you because of your credit? How much can you sacrifice yourself for your lover/family? Have you ever been in a group to fight individuals? Have you ever made friends with just benefits?
Let's talk about the human nature!! I recommend you seeing the movie if you are interested in human behaviour. It will appear when conflict of benefits between yourself and others happened! Who actually you are?
The movie, The Law of Attraction, is constituted by four love stories.
First of all, Encounter.
Can you imagine if someone is watching you stealthily? The encounter is very impressive. It doesn't happen just in 5 or 10 minutes, but three years.
She, an airport security, is always waiting for the chance to meet him again every Tuesday. There are sixteen screening lines in this airport. Her probability of seeing him again is 1/16. She saw him hundred times.
However, he even doesn't know her until this coincidence...
This is my favourite episode of this movie! If you don't have much time for whole movie, just enjoy the first story.
Secondly, Creating Life.
Babies are the most beautiful creature in our lives. They are so lovely and pure! I believe my friends, lots of fathers and mothers, will totally agree with me. Right?
A couple is working hard on having kids. They consult doctors, follow all instructions to get themselves in shape and looking forward to having an excellent baby!
However, it failed because of high pressure. As you know, the more relaxation the more probability to fertilize..:)
Thirdly, Betrayal.
Have you ever betrayed by your lovers? In the beginning, I thought it is just a story that a woman betrays his husband...However, it was not just a betrayal...and it led to a murder. Yes! You guessed! The husband took the revenge on the extramarital man...How he planned it? Interesting! Just go watch it.
Last but not the least, Renewal.
A girl, a drug addict, just came out from rehabilitation centre. No one believed she will make a fresh start, but a man loving her deeply never gave her up. He never abandoned her and faced all difficulties with her.
The power of love is really huge.
What's your stories?
The movie expressed four stories you might encounter in your lives.
It's our lives, there are always questions to face and solve. Just enjoy it.
"The Law of Attraction is weak, but always there!"
Blue Gate Crossing is a movie talking about pure love in the age of puberty. The story was happened in a senior high school. It is a love triangle, but not just as you thought.
A girl (Girl A) falling in love with a boy was writing his name hundred times on paper. She assumed that boy would see her and be in love with her if she had done this. How do you feel about this kind of behaviour? Stupid?
However, the boy knew another girl (Girl B) and liked her gradually, because the girl helped Girl A get close to that boy. It led to more chance for the boy and Girl B to know each other...I believe it happened frequently in this world. What do you think about the relationship? Why this usually happened? Nature?
Girl B doubted she is a lesbian and in love with Girl A. That's why you could recognise that Girl B were not willing to help Girl A, but she finally did. It is a cruel story, but it's just life. Foolish?
Moreover, you can find lots of interaction between these three senior high school students. Maybe you might feel they are so childish. Those behaviour won't be happened in you. Even if you did this, you colleagues/friends will laugh at you, CHILDISH. Have you ever thought...when you're not childish anymore, you might lost something really pure...
"What you left led to what kind of person you will be."...
Stupid, Nature, Foolish, Childish and Pure ones are not allowed to be left.
You have to protect yourself from being cheated: Not stupid, not nature, not foolish...
You have to be mature: Not childish...
You have no choice that you are getting more complex: not pure anymore.
No matter what you left and what you are at this moment.
Please just review yourself and know what you are!
Look deeply inside you and then get a pure and simple life.It's what I need indeed......
God! It touched me a lot. I believe the story touched a lot of audiences. When I saw the photo of Aya at the end of this MV. My tears almost came out. She was struggling for being alive still and helping others. How about me? What I was doing lately?
I was looking for this kind of movie to see, because I felt I has been not interested in my surroundings for a long time. It has been not easy to attract my attention anymore. In the past, I was always caught by tiny things. Interesting things frequently happened in my life. For now...I couldn't find the difference day by day.
I am struggling with this?! Unfortunately, I even don't know what I was doing recently. Keeping silent and looking deeply into my mind is my first priority in current situation.
