Movie Screening by AAD – Japanese Animation for March

藝術設計系電影放映會 Movie Screening by AAD 三月 日本動畫電影系列 Japanese Animation for March Location: H122, Old Hall, Block M, HSUHK 其實當我們在觀看動畫時,我們通常在意的大多是人物精美的外皮以及其講率的深刻故事,並沒有一種自己正在觀看一門視覺藝術的自覺。動畫終究是一門關於線條的語言,在這裡引用一下友人的説法:「自説自話的線條聚首一堂,隨樂韻節奏起舞,爭先恐後,是為動畫。」動畫特別的地方在於它的連續性,而有別於實拍電影,動畫能更廣闊地延展、探索線條到造型的變化。動畫實質上是一門值得敬畏的藝術,藝術之解構順其然到技術,如同繪畫始於筆觸。 《百日紅》Miss Hokusai 10/3 FRI 1530 dir. 原惠一 《機動警察Ⅱ》Patlabor 2: The Movie 17/3 FRI 1530 dir. 押井守 《人狼 JIN-ROH》Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade 24/3 FRI 1530 dir. 沖浦啟之 《王立宇宙軍》Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise 31/3 FRI 1530…

Wim Wenders 每當我們討論到區分愛情片種的時候,會發現受情片的千變萬化,令區分變得毫無意義。它的構成可以是浪漫至極般如《 Before Sunrise 》,但接下來的《Before Sunset》 似乎又掀開了浪漫的面紗。 或許爱情可以被簡單說成三因法的親密激情與承諾,但總會覺得欠缺了些甚麼可能就正如 Raymond Carver 所說:當我們在談論愛情時,說起來就像知道自己在談論什麼一樣。電影不應是詩與遠方的標的物,它應該有它的解答能力,不如試眷騰空少許時間,在星期五的下午讓電影好好與「你」討論一番。…
