《海角七號》

這不是什麼大片,能在台灣大買的主要原因相信是其通俗和本土的故事。在香港能上映,可能要多謝陳雲林。

我最記得片中有一場景:一眾人出席完晚宴後,不約而同地走到海邊。有的酒醉而睡,有的望著海哼著歌,那一刻,彷彿在快樂、悲傷過後回到了母親的肚內。人坐著的地,無際的天和海,像是最能容納每個人的地方。

Book Recommendation : Where Have All the Leaders Gone? by Lee Iacocca

I bought this book recently. I tried to search in some bookstores intentionally, but failed. Finally, I came across that when I was walking aimlessly in a bookstore.

This is not some great academic texts or difficult readings. Reading that is just like listening to a wise old man talking to you about dark side of the United States of America, especially in times of the Bush administration from business to politics, from his own experience in large corporations to observation of the Government and the society. It reminds you some basic virtues that we may have forgotten and what should we expect from our leaders.
