Once upon a time, a king gave a feast. And there came the most beautiful princesses of the realm. Now, a soldier, who was standing guard, saw the king's daughter go by. She was the most beautiful one, and he immediately fell in love with her. But what could a poor soldier do when it came to the daughter of the king? Well, finally, one day, he managed to meet her, and he told her that he could no longer live without her. The princess was so impressed by his strong feelings that she said to the soldier: "If you can wait 100 days and 100 nights under my balcony, then at the end of it, I shall be yours." Damn! The soldier immediately went there and waited one day. And two days. And ten. And then twenty. And every evening, the princess looked out of her window, but he never moved. During rain, during wind, during snow, he was always there. The bird shat on his head, and the bees stung him, but he didn't budge. After ninety nights, he had become all dried up, all white, and the tears streamed from his eyes. He couldn't hold them back. He no longer had the strength to sleep. All that time, the princess watched him. And on the 99th night, the soldier stood up, took his chair, and went away.
浪漫後中傷
民生與綻放的花朵 後來的我們不得不為自己的出路想點辦法，即便我們都寧願樂觀相信總有口活路賞飯吃。 身邊的友人們紛紛打算起自己的未來，這是個什麼樣的世代誰不清楚？醫科理科的人想著更加努力念書，忍受無聊繁重的課業，卻不願抽身也不知如何抽身；近在我身旁的人總問著，我將來想要成為什麼，或，我是否該離開拍片這行。一問再問，因為它沒有一個好到讓人完全信服的答案，足以支撐每個月辛苦賺來的錢，卻要一下子通通拿去拍一部片的結果。或許它快樂，但或許不是。 有一個晚上我下定決心要相信我所預想的所有，管它之後是不是這樣我都願意相信是，我把它全推給一意孤行的浪漫後卻被中傷，那麼，既然是浪漫那我就無所謂了。(笑) 看著在路邊撓癢那個沒手臂的人，他賣玉蘭花。計程車司機問我，碰到這種我是否會跟他買，我笑說我沒遇過，他搶在我前頭說他一定會。他後來聽說我想拍電影，他說台灣電影起不來，他都不太想看了，但要進戲院的時候還是願意去。我笑說，你還是把錢留著看好片吧，這世界上只有窮人會憐憫同病相憐的人，有錢人大多為所欲為。而我們不需要勉強和憐憫。於是我跟他推薦海角七號，他側著頭問：好看嗎？看那個導演又貸款這麼多，我真怕……我說：其實什麼事沒有風險？就是害怕的風險最高。有時候你要做的只有一件事，就是相信。相信可以改變很多事情！他於是跟我說他會去看的。 相較於我跟我爸媽推薦海角七號，就不是這麼有趣的事。我媽嚷著要看，還要去看囧男孩。我爸說：他花這麼多錢干我們什麼事？有人欠他嗎？我弟附和：對阿，幹嘛去看阿！我聽了轉頭就哭，是被氣哭的，瞬間我想長篇大論的讚賞都淪為譏談，很生氣怎麼會有這種家人。但不過他們當然沒看見，一臉嘲弄的繼續諷刺，不知道將來她女兒可能會因為如此而花錢時，他們會怎麼說。 想了一個晚上，決定無論如何都要讓他們去看，我爸接下來的幾天都還在念說那什麼電影真無聊，我默不作聲。直到我把兩張電影票交到他們手上，我媽緊張卻強作鎮定的問說我們該去哪看，我爸開心的上網看遍所有海角七號的預告和新聞。我把放映時間表抄給他們，祝他們有一個美好的約會。 後續如我預期，他們津津樂道的談論裡面的每一句台詞，迫切的想要知道幕後所有事情，裡面演員是誰，當我爸每次『是喔』的最大聲時，我知道我成功了。現在我弟兩個人用故作不屑的表情透露羨慕的問戲中每件事，不用慫恿，他們會去看的。 一個初見面的醫科學姊跟我說，台灣環境不好，很不公平的就是朝九...
