in the morning, the room was filled with sunshine.although the temperature was low, i still felt the warm from the sun. the wet weather went by,thank the holiday,i could do what i want to. staying at home long time made me a little fat,so i decided to go outside for a walk. took the MP3,and sittig outside.the warm sunshine made me feel comfortable,the friendly smile from passby also.

after shower,i turned my computer on and linked the internet. also,i clicked the OICQ logo on the desktop.without chatting with e-pals,i went to check my e-mails that from my relatives and friends who are on the northern hemisphere. to my disappointment, the mail box was blank. i closed the website with a little sad,but i know they were just too busy to write to me… did nothing but missing…

Today I stay at library all day, such lots of homework. But still can not finish.

I play QQ Tang at night. It is a online game, chose a person you like and in a certain map, you can put some bubbles, it will bombed, and it can kill people or let you get some “gift”, such as the other bubble, or let you bubble invisible, and so on. When you kill all the other players, you will win.

It sounds a little bit childish, but it is such funny and colorful design, I indulge in playing it.

The time pass by, new term will start, i’m not ready!!~~~

I do nothing everyday

lie on the ground and watch the sky

dreaming fly in the windy day

and sunshine filters through the eyelids, directly to my heart

i would like to be the frog in the well and knows nothing about the great ocean

but just enjoy this moment

no more…

The first time when I was watching the movie “the legend of 1990″ was shocked by the crazy piano and 1900’s inflexibility.

Then….I notice the wording in this movie, it is such moving and thoughtful.

when the ship will be bombed, 1900 still doesn’t want leave the ship which he lives in when he was a baby. No more passengers, no more gorgeous parties,  no more… story is end, life is nearly finished, when he knows there is still a friend outside, and he is the only one who knows and remember all the story. he said:

Moonlight city. You just couldn’t see an end to it.
It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me ,Max.
It was what I didn’t see.

Take the piano.
Keys begin. Keys end.
You know there are 88 of them.
They’re not infinite. You’re infinite.
And on those keys, the music that you can make is infinite.
I like that. That I can live by.
But you get me up on that gangway, and you roll them out
in front of me.
Keyboards have millions and billions of keys that never end.
That keyboard is infinite.
Then on that keyboard there’s no music you can play.
That’s God’s piano.

Did you see the streets?
There’re thousands of them.
How do you choose just one?
One woman, one house, one way to die…….
You don’t even know where it comes to an end.
Aren’t you ever just scared of breaking apart with the
thought of it?

I was born on this ship.
And the world passed me by.
But 2000 people at a time and there’re old wishes here .
But nevermore that fit between prow and stern..
You played out your happiness bit on a piano that was not
infinite.
I learned to live that way.

Land?
Land is a ship too big for me,
It’s a woman too beautiful, a bridge too long, perfume to
strong, music I don’t know how to play.
I can never get off this ship.
At best, I didn’t step off my life.
After all, I don’t exist for anyone.

This is a movie about youth hood, a painful bloom time

Two girls

One is quite, innocent and obedient—Fion

And the other cruel and fierce—Wei

When they were young, they were good kids, did whatever their parents want them to do. Wearing white dress and play peaceful music. Getting lots of prize from the competitions, and always to be the excellent students in the school. In fact, both of them didn’t like this kind of life and as competitors for each other. They try to against their parents and put all the prizes into the freezer and want to freeze them. As kids, they think, when the prize is frozen, they won’t be compare with each other.

From that time, they start freezing all the things they want to remember, want to commemorate, and the important things.

One day, they decided to put their work sheet in to freezer before the piano competition. But at the last moment, Fion cannot bear pressure and take it out, and won the first. Wei think Fion betray her, and leave Fion and home.

One year later, Fion meet Wei in the street, this time, both of them betray their parents, and get together. They want to be friends, not competitors any more. At last, they put their body into a glass freezer and want to freeze themselves to remember their youth hood.

All the things are finished, no more compare, no more painful, no more sadness. They can stay forever anyway.

At last, in the white screen, both of them wear white dress and play white piano, everything is back to clean and honest.

Racism in Australia

In Australia, racism is inextricably linked to the history of colonisation and migration.

The original inhabitants, Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people, were dispossessed of their land and were discriminated against by the first British and European settlers. For some Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders, the process of colonisation has been perceived as invasion. Racial discrimination has continued to influence the lives of Indigenous Australians in the two centuries following white settlement.

The migration of peoples from all parts of the world led to the increased cultural and linguistic diversity of the Australian population. Prejudice and discrimination have been directed towards many groups who arrived in Australia, in particular towards groups from language backgrounds other than English, despite the fact that many government migration schemes invited people to settle in Australia.

Until recent years, racist policies and practices were also embedded within Australian laws and institutions. The most telling examples of these were the removal of Aboriginal children from their families and the denial of full citizenship rights to Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people. Similarly, the White Australia policy aimed to restrict immigration by people from non-European backgrounds. Historically, rises in unemployment have often led to calls for immigration restrictions and in some cases led to the scapegoating of people who were seen to be different to members of the dominant culture. While legislation now exists to protect the rights of all citizens, there is a continuing legacy today from the effects of these racist practices.

C)    [The Strength of the Bismarck]

Philadelphia is a 1993 drama film revolving around HIV/AIDS and homosexuality. It was writt­­­en by Ron Nyswaner ­­­and directed by Jonathan Demme.

The movie tells the story about Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks), a senior associate at the largest corporate law firm in Philadelphia. Beckett hides his homosexual and his status as an AIDS patient to the other members of the law firm. On the day Beckett is assigned the firm’s newest and most important case, a partner in the firm notices a lesion on Beckett’s forehead. Although Beckett attributes the lesion to a racquetball injury, it is actually due to Kaposi’s Sarcoma, a form of cancer marked by multiple tumors on the lymph nodes and skin.

Shortly thereafter, Beckett stays home from work for several days to try to find a way to hide his lesions. While at home, he finishes the paperwork of the case he has been assigned and then brings it to his office, leaving instructions for his assistants to file the paperwork the following day, which marks the end of the statute of limitations for the case. Later that morning he receives a call asking for the paperwork, as the paper copy cannot be found and there are no copies on the computer’s hard drive. The paperwork is finally discovered in an alternate location and is filed with the court at the last possible moment. The following day Beckett is fired by the firm’s partners.

Beckett believes that someone deliberately hid his paperwork to give the firm an excuse to fire him, and that the firing is actually as a result of his diagnosis with AIDS. He asks several attorneys to take his case, including personal injury lawyer Joe Miller (Denzel Washington). Miller is an admitted homophobe and knows little about Beckett’s disease. After declining to take the case, Miller immediately visits his doctor to find out if he could have contracted the disease. The doctor explains the methods of AIDS infection.

Unable to find a lawyer willing to represent him, Beckett is compelled to act as his own attorney. While researching a case at a law library, Miller sees Beckett at a nearby table. After a librarian announces that he has found a book on AIDS descrimination for Beckett, others in the library begin to first stare and then move away, and the librarian suggests Beckett retire to a private room. Disgusted by the other people’s behavior, Miller approaches Beckett, reviews the material Beckett has gathered, and takes the case.

As the case goes before the court, the partners of the firm take the stand, each claiming that Beckett had incompetent and that he deliberately tried to hide his condition. The defense repeatedly suggests that Beckett had invited his illness through his homosexual acts and was therefore not a victim. In the course of testimony, it is revealed that the partner who had noticed Beckett’s lesion had previously worked with a woman who had contracted AIDS after a blood transfusion and so should have recognized the lesion as relating to AIDS. According to that partner, the woman was an innocent victim, unlike Beckett, and further testified that he did not recognize Beckett’s lesions. To prove that the lesions would have been visible, Miller asks Beckett to unbutton his shirt while on the witness stand, revealing that his lesions were indeed visible and recognizable as such.

Beckett eventually collapses during the trial. During his hospitalization, the jury votes in his favor, awarding him back pay, damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages. Miller visits the visibly failing Beckett in the hospital after the verdict and overcomes his fear enough to touch Beckett’s face. After Beckett’s family leaves the room, he tells his partner, Miguel (Antonio Banderas) that he is ready to die. The movie ends with a reception at Beckett’s home following the funeral, where many mourners, including Miller, view home movies of Beckett as a healthy child.

Philadelphia is Jonathan Demme’s 1993 movie. It was acted by Tom hanks (Andrew Beckett) and Denzel Washington (Joe Miller). It talks about a homosexual guy and he got AIDS, the discrimination always around him. His friend, Joe and he work together, and try their best to fight with the distorted homosexual system in the society at that time.

In this movie, the compare between front and back is very brilliant. Andrew’s life is changed by AIDS. The bosses’ attitude is 360 degree turn off when they know Andrew is a gay. Tom Hanks great act skill shows the painful on Andrew, the pale face, tremulous voice and dangle steps. It is a huge difference between before he gets AIDS and after, also shows his painful inside. He is really disappointed with the unfair world. Truth and discrimination, the distinct compare in this movie is the point for view.

In the movie, most people will concentrate on Andrew, most people have sympathy for him, but Joe is another remarkable person, at first he does not want to help Andrew and after he realizes is not a case only about homosexual, it is about discrimination. Joe is a black person, and he can understand what kind of feel it is. And his wife also wants him to help Andrew, Joe and his family is the symbol for the group people who are earliest realize the homosexual system in the society.

In this movie, movie is not entertainment any more. It stands out and faces the two sharp questions: AIDS and homosexual. It teaches us an important thing: straight face homosexual and AIDS. In this case, this movie is a successful movie, and opens a new door to people to know homosexual and AIDS.

Strike the discrimination back is another point, at first, not many people think highly of Andrew’s case, in most people’s mind at that time is homosexual is a kind of sickness, it should give a wide berth with the people who is a gay. But Joe and Andrew’s plead, everybody feel a kind of shock and started to think, what we think about AIDS and homosexual may be wrong before. This message not only gives to the people who in the movie, also give to the audience. Discrimination is one of the most controversial topics in the world, and homosexual is one of the tenderest subjects. Director put this two together; this is why this movie makes a shock to the society when it published.

This movie is really the one worth watching, not only for the homosexual people, also for the one who can not accept it.
