INVITATION

Luke, she called softly. But there was no answer. He was sound asleep. His face was facing the other way, and his breathes rhythmic. She moved closer to him, her hand on his back. The warmth of his body gave her a sense of assurance. It was dark and quiet in the room. There was no sound. If she got up and looked out of the window, there was nothing to see, except the orange street lights and the shadows under the tree. The city, in its slumber, was void of movements and sounds, the hustling and rustling of its inhabitants. How terrifying it was, she thought, the city at night, and this dreadful quietness. It was 3:00 am. She was wide awake. The window was slightly open, and the curtain was disturbed by the air. In the still darkness, she lay flat on her back. It was a warm starry night after a long walk that she said "I hope we can just sit here through the night". "You must be crazy", he laughed.

腐国有很多优秀的演员，平时不大在好莱坞的大片上出现，但是他们的演技却一点不逊色于好莱坞的大角儿。相对好莱坞砸钱式的拍片， BBC 常常出一些小制作的小型连续剧，没有眼花缭乱的特技，演员全部靠精湛的演技，比如这部只有三集的连续剧，场景单一重复，没有特技效果，却完美表现威廉戈尔丁的《 To the Ends of the Earth 》。 戈尔丁喜欢一个设定的场地，然后把一堆人塞进去，试炼他们的人性。他的故事只需要一个舞台就可以搞定，非常适合话剧的形式。故事很简单 : 1812 年贵族出身的青年 Edmund 乘一艘战舰改造的邮轮去澳洲赴职。六个月的航行中他见识了人性的冷酷，发现了爱情，精神上开始觉醒，他开始思索自己的地位，虽然阶级的断层是难以跨越的，他开始愿意体会其他阶层的感受。六个月的航行是 Edmund 心理成长的过程。剧中的道具、布景和服装，都非常有年代感，不是那种刻意的伪造的陈旧，好像主人公们一直就穿着用着这些东西。摄影和音乐也很美。 演员里，有年轻的卷福呢

鸡年的最后几分钟，我正忙着换被套，长对长，短对短，心不在焉地把被子塞进被套，居然弄错了，重来，再看表，已经进入了新年。 外面落了雪，铺在地上薄薄的一层。2月的风吹在脸上，冰凉凉的，天已放晴，路上行人寥寥，雪在我的脚下发出清脆的响声。我一个人走着，想着这个短暂的周末，我都做了些什么。 未来，总是像一根羽毛，撩动我的思绪和期望，我仿佛回到了初中那年，坐在教室里看着外面的杨树上嫩绿的新叶，我的心飞得很高很高....... 写给新年的自己，知足、平和、勇敢、诚实。每一步脚踏实地。每一步无愧于心。 我祈祷
