这是V for Vendetta电视台演说的片段,但是短片禁止嵌入(可能话题敏感的关系吧),所以只能用链接的方式,请大家按下链接看短片。短片内容如下:

Good evening, London. 

Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of everyday routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquillity of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. 

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? 

Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. 

Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. 

So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.





这是15 Malaysia 的短片,《One Future》。

两者说的都是同一件事情,如果你明白,你就会知道,生活美好不意味自由。自由的代价,是不安。

这里有一个问题,请问,《One Future》有在抄袭吗?还是模仿?对我来说,抄袭的定义必须从出发点出发,创作的过程和类型可以不一样,可是创作的雏形若源自同一个概念,算是抄袭吗?

相信最近大家都可以从不同管道听见这首歌。我听了这首歌,觉得很感动,也很有感触。 是因为动荡的政治局势吗?还是因为心里一直觉得这一片我们都深爱的土地没有真正承认华人成为“马来西亚人”的感触?又或者是西马人的心态还在下意识地将东马排除在外(到现在还是有西马人这样对我说:我们马来西亚人很少到沙巴砂拉越去,所以不知道沙巴砂拉越和马来西亚有什么不一样)? 当我们唱着这首歌时,意味着我们没有肤色之分,没有信仰之别,也没有区域的不一样。 我们,同样是马来西亚人。同样的深爱着我们的国家。 如果大家喜欢,可以到 这里 下载。

继续烦恼。。。

要换一台电脑?还是。。。 这个? 这个? 这个? 不然就这个? 或者这个也不错,:P 鱼与熊掌,所以,继续烦恼。。。

无法预知未来。

看见你五官标准四肢健全,就是父亲最大的欣慰。  从来没有想过生命的形成是如此美妙,那种喜悦是尖锐的,敏感的,内敛的,野马脱缰一般从身体每一个细胞奔腾倾泻,却始终无法以自身的面部表情显露出来。给一个蹩脚的缘由,可以说自己内向,可是真正的原因,或许只是我无法用有限的脸部表情来表达自己对新生命的惊叹和赞美。  或许只是自己不善言辞。  我无法预知未来。  将来你会以怎么样的一个形式和心情来看待这一系列的文字呢?无论你想要平平庸庸过着平淡的生活,还努力不懈地追求一些某种属于你生命中最重要的东西,我都希望这些写给未来的文字会带给你一点点启发。  孩子。未来是无法预知的,电影“Interstellar”提到只有爱和地心引力能够超越时空的界限,果真如此,所有情感包括憎恨思念忧愁自卑焦虑也可以穿越时空回到从前吧。地心引力本身是特别的,我们人类所知的物理知识里只有地心引力不受时空的操控,以超越光速的状况存在,每一个质量的密度,都有扭曲时空的能力,当物质密度庞大到一个程度,我们在三维时空内所感受到时空扭曲后的副产品就是牛顿发现的万有引力。我理性的一面让我不能相信感情能够扭曲时空,就像我不相信上帝的存在,无论我在精神层面上对艺术或宗教有着异常的领悟和认知,却不能苟同那些似是而非的科学理论。  我无法预知未来,现在用一个手掌心便可以举起的你,往后会如何看待自己的周遭?我决定不去干涉你的信仰你的性向你的自由你的未来,那些都是人生很重要很重要的决定,世界充满了太多太多悖论和偏见,当对错黑白越来越模糊,当科技越来越发达,当得到新知识的管道越来越容易,当左翼分子和右派分子的分歧越来越激烈,当感性越来越自私理性越来越自我,唯一能够让自己尽量维持清醒的方法只有独立思考的能力。我们这一代比较简单,想要在出类拔萃,就不能趋炎附势,学会自己判断真假得出结论。身为父亲的我,就是因为无法坚持岗位,只能平平庸庸的过了半辈子。无所谓好或不好,快不快乐,而是取决于自己人生的目标和定位。下一代,你们这一代,世界会怎么改变,让我用几十年的生命历练大胆揣测,大概也相差不远。你们会面对更艰巨的挑战,社会会更竞争,真要脱颖而出,就得拥有自己的特点,不是说标新立异,而是让自己更个人化,用自由的思想塑造独特的个性和品位。  为了生活,无...
