"Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs on hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate—he has little success in this—but with the other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than do the others; after all, dead as he is in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor. This assumes that he does not need both hands, or more hands than he has, in his struggle against despair."--Kafka

葉問

因為之前讀書,以及忙於與好友共聚,今天才有機會踏進戲院,選來「葉問」,換著以前,我是一定不會選武打電影來看,但人越大,越喜歡官能刺激,不用思考也很不錯,另一方面,我越來越佩服武星,自問是一個沒有耐性的人,肯花多年時間來練就一身好武功的人是很值得我們敬佩的。
葉偉信拍「葉問」應該做了很多研究,將二三十年代的佛山呈現觀眾眼前,我最有興趣看那些有西式建築風味的住宅。葉問角色塑造不算是十分立體,不過既然是打戲,也不能要求太高了,以甄子丹身手,看武戲已經教人很滿意,尤其樊少皇十分有霸氣,與甄子丹對打有看頭。林家棟是依然令我失望的演員,除了東莞仔以外我怎樣都記不起他,反而扮演武痴林的釋行宇則十分有神彩。我本不甚喜歡熊黛林,但在這部電影中我驚覺她的那份中國女子的柔情。
我時常覺得在現時這種癲三倒四的社會中,滑頭、明哲保身、走偏門成了現在社會的真理,這個時候就需要有正氣的電影去衝擊人心,「葉問」未算拍得很深刻,但不失為現代人的深刻提醒。
