Leap into the Maya


After many postpones, finally get to watch Inception at midnight show with Ki. I always like movie of similar genre, where the story crisscrosses between Maya, world of illusion (or dream in the Inception)  and the world of reality.

The Matrix (1999) have just one level of Maya, while The 13th Floor, a movie of the same year, brilliantly having another extra level of Maya within the Maya. Well The Inception upped the ante by adding another Maya within the Maya of the Maya. Leornado's acting is emotionally convincing and i totally enjoyed the breathtaking flow of the story.

How sure are we that we are not living in the Maya of our own creation? When we hail the leap of faith, are we not leaping further away from the reality?

星期天的天

刚看完 Exam, 一部没有大场面,没有CG特效,却看得扣人心旋、惊心动魄的电影。运用人与人之间的矛盾与极端的情境,所刻画出衣冠楚楚底下人性最原始的面目,这总是百看不厌的题材。

看完那病态似你欺我诈(但又看得很过瘾)的画面,望着窗口,拍下了星期天的天。愿你的心情,那么晴朗。
