Extended Birthday - Birth Week

I skip the seminar listen to Son's speech and decided to extend my birthday to a movie : Life is a Marical, this is a compensation movie to make up what I had earlier in the morning; to celebrate my birthday, me and my wife reserve 2 tickets at the Golden Horse Film Festival, and I pick one director who I admire for a long time - Peter Greenaway, we've been to his film several time, and we really appreciate his art / lights / setting and the unchanged tone of " Balance " or " Symatric ", however the lateste work : Tusla Pauter's suitcase wasn't the impression we carried over the year; it's too experimental and too avegada, we hardly pick up what's message he wish to carry? the worst part is the showing time : From midnight to 2 in the morning. I keep myself awake for the EXPERIENCE of an unforgetable birthday, this is really a weired experience.

Life is a maricale is a great one, director is who we love also, he produce the " Black Cat, White Cat " " Under world " those films with one message - the civil war in Sloviar and the story in the war - in an irony and funny expression, he let people aware the pain in the war, but the humor it carried won't bring you bloody feeling. a great director.

Father invited everyone for dinner on Friday, he said this is for my birthday, when my wife remind him it's no on 11th, then he changed and mentioned his friend saw my news in the magazine " Common Wealth " he feels proud and want to celebrate upon it. 6 in one table on a restaurant is rare these days. we only eat, do a little talk, finishing the dinner in 40 minutes, only eating, very few talking, I don't know why we should have this family dinner, an obligation ?

Went for the second-run movie myself on Sat. " Crash " is a good one, it deal deeply in the racial issue in LA ( it can be treated as the whole America nowadays ), the minority's problem expressing in a crul yet real camara, it looks more like a documentary than a movie, this is a good one, " Grim Brother " wasn't impressed me a lot, the fairy tale turn movie is so so.

I should be ready for the " Dancing for new open " ceremony for Sid's clinic, provide amerture service for good friend indeed is a great contribution, isn't it?
