5.0 out of 5 stars Touching!!!A MUST watch!!!!!*, May 23 2004
This review is from: Central Station (DVD)
I feel it so warm and touched throughout the whole plot.I'd like to emphasize that Central Station is really a simple but DEEP movie!!I seldom watch road movie,and since watching Central Station,I have a completely new insight about it!!
Fate lead Dora (Fernanda Montenegro) & Josue (Vinicius de Oliveira) come together.You will find everything is so natural & Logical.
As for the pictures, I especially love the one when Josue look outside the train to search his home. The scenery is beatiful yet blurred(coz the railway is moving)! I guess it implys that he's searching for his blurred identity.
Moreover,I do think that Montenegro is the highlight of the movie. Her role is sometimes cynical but interesting, & sometimes touching & lovely too!
I highly recommend this movie!!!It reminds me "Love Actually is everywhere"!!~~*

5.0 out of 5 stars R¢í¢ë¢÷¢õ¢õ¢í¢ö¢ì¢é¢ê¢ô¢í for everyone* :], Feb 5 2004
To be honest,I'm so impressed w/ the ideas and philosophical theories which are being deliberately carried out throughout the plot.Though,it was the fact that,the characters were not specifically rendered in the novel,it still had the power to make the novel enjoyable on the whole.
I'm actually interested in philosophy but to a certain extent, I don't know how to start it and don't know where can I start it.However,once I started reading this book,I can't stop.It really helps!I recommend it for everyone,especially youngsters.It should be the beginning of our-personal-philosophy_course.After reading it,I really think that philosophy course should be setted as one of the school's syllabus.Every1 needs philosophy.Every1 needs questioning.
So,it's time for you to know about yourself as well as the world you lived in.And,I'm sure u'll enjoy the book!!!Don't miss it!!!*:]

5.0 out of 5 stars *Ambiguities made me adore the movie*, Jan 10 2004
I was born in hongkong in 80's,and this movie portrayed the love between a journalist and his neighbour in 60's.Their love was unconventional when compare to the social taboo at that time.I found it the most fansinating that their attitude towards each other and the tone of their words were ambiguous!!After watching it,I search many pictures of Hong Kong in 1960's.They are wonderful and I love them so much.Nowadays,many hong kong students rare notice the bright side of Hong Kong in the past.They neglect the history and culture of Hong Kong.However,this movie , in fact, provided lots of pretty accessories and furniture in the 60's.They are incredible.

Besides,the sharp contrast of colour made by Wong was remarkable.The clothes were extremely beautiful and unique.The angle that Wong tried to shoot from the reflection of mirror was actually carrying out confusing ideas and ambiguities.Some of the scenes were blurred by rain ,shadow and smoke,maybe rendering a sense of escape and moral depravity of Chow.

Over all,the ending scene shot in AngKor Wat was excellent!!I love the quote ::: "He remembers those vanished years.
As though looking through a dusty window pane,
the past is something he could see, but not touch.
And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct."
Though they have no future , they had once continued sacrificing,or giving, simply for each other.The background music "Theme" was also a great supplement!!
