天冷就回来 音乐剧

“天冷”的前两回都没去看。有意思看的，但没人约。第三回了，终于约到了位友人一同去。

一首首熟悉的新谣，听出耳油。尤其是那首 “新加坡派”，勾起小时候，八十年代和九十年代的记忆（过后，有想到，不知道梁文福会不会修改歌词，带进两千年后的变化和感慨）。有些歌曲，脑子里，还是听到颜黎明的歌声。

之后，才知道：－

• 之前，“麻雀衔竹枝” 没得上演，因为掺杂了广东话，被列为禁歌（！！）。
• 阿强1和阿强2 － 2007 两个男人的拥抱戏因为被视为伤风化，过后实践剧场的辅助金被撤回；2009时没得上演。

现在看的时候，还理所当然，还不知道后面那么多故事。其实，事情，剧场的演变，也代表了民间意识的开放和转变。

想到实践剧场的另一出戏老九, 虽然两出都谈及少年的梦想和牺牲，但我还是被老九感动些。可能是比较新鲜吧，还是比天冷较为单纯。

总之，还是值得看的一出音乐剧。 希望本地华文剧场越来越生动出色，出品更多的音乐剧话剧！

The Grand Budapest Hotel

This is a movie, about a girl who is reading a book, written by the author who is telling the story, of the story he heard many years ago, from the proprietor of the titular pink hotel.

I can understand why some would not  understand what's the fuss about the film. But the first line itself says much about stories, whether written or narrated verbally, transcending time.

And stories being stories, have a life of their own once they are told. The caricature of characters, the stunny visuals of settings where the story took place, reflected the imagery world that is created in the world of storytelling - colours are brighter, movements are exaggerated, everything becomes larger than life.

But aren't that how any stories play out in your mind whenever you hear them? :)
