Minchester - 节目列表

在这一集中，我通过电影《怎么了，艾达？》、战地纪实漫画《安全区戈拉日代》、日记《兹拉塔的日记》、回忆录《波斯尼亚清单》四部作品，来谈谈我所了解到的波斯尼亚战争，以及不同媒介对于战争刻画的异同。I challenge myself in this episode to talk about a topic that I have long been interested in: the history of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Some six years ago, I was shocked to learn there was such a big war happening in Europe that I knew nothing about. Films like Quo Vadis Aida (06:07) and comic reportage Safe Area Gorazde (25:05) allow me to learn a little bit more about the odd turn of history and the sufferings of the civilians. Each of the four works I have covered here tells a story of a different place in Bosnia. Quo Vadis, Aida? looks at the Srebrenica Massacre. I argue that the film is smart in keeping 'a false glimmer' for the audience when its highly capable and brave heroine attempts to save her family from being killed by their neighbours-turned-tormentors. I point out the chilling line that happen in the execution room may be a comment on the status quo of European cinema, which had been remained silent on its dark recent past. Then I review the first two books I have read about BiH. Zlata's Diary (20:57) follows Zlata's everyday life in the war-time Sarajevo, while The Bosnia List (22:18) records Kenan's puzzling childhood in Brcko. Safe Area Gorazde is an excellent comic book that does not shy away from the traumatic experience of the town people of the then-enclave Gorazde.References电影《艾达，怎么了？》Quo Vadis, Aida?

欢迎收听The Minchester Review! 这期节目来聊聊最近挚爱的一本小说《春天，相遇在巴尼斯百货》，这是日本作家吉田修一的作品，是前作《最后的儿子》的续篇。小说从五个章节一窥东京普通上班族筒井彰的人生。当三十有几的筒井带着妻子、儿子在巴尼斯百货商店购物时遇见了前男友阎魔，筒井的心中会泛起多少波澜？Hi!! Have you missed me? ;)In this episode, I talk about a Japanese fiction called Spring, at Barneys (2004) by Yoshida Shuichi, one of my favorite writers. Spring, at Barneys is a sequel to Yoshida's early novella The Last Son (1999). The early work tells the story of Tsutsui, of how he navigates his life as a young gay man, lives in a world that is malignant and violent to his community, and sways between a life as the boyfriend to someone he does not love and parents' demand of him to form a family. Spring, at Barneys sees Tsutsui in his 30s as he bumps into his former lover in the department store and ponders on his current life as a married man with a kid. I was mesmerized by Yoshida's nuanced writing, which looks into the seemingly mundane moments of life, and the eventual emotional outbreak of a man who seems to be living a life he is contented of. The writing is effortless and piecing. I tried to translate a few passages that I am very fond of. (23:39)I talk a bit about the adapted film, which stars Nishijima Hitedoshi (*swoon*).I also talk about how the idea of 'the past' intertwines with Tsuitsui's escapism. By analyzing a small episode where his father rejects his dream of studying in the US, I argue that the idea of studying/living abroad, as it invites a new form of language, allows physical detachment, and forms a space of literal 'different time zone', embodies the ultimate illusion of freedom and possibilities. 02:30 Introduction of The Last Son08:00 Introduction of Spring, at Barneys29:04 TV-Film of Spring, at Barneys36:54 Some expanded readings including how 'the past is a foreign country' plays out in Yoshida's novel.

这一集，我与烂木头一起来聊聊一部电影《前程似锦的女孩》，这部电影由凯瑞•穆里根主演，是《杀死伊芙》第二季的制片人Emerald Fennell的第一部剧情长片。这部讲述女性复仇的影片究竟看了让人拍手称快，还是一部撒着喜剧糖霜的悲剧？使用流行歌曲会不会削弱为好友复仇的沉重主题？这部充满糖果色的影片竟让烂木头想起了金基德电影中不按常理出牌的救赎戏份？反高潮的结局中是否暗含希望的种子？Hello! In this episode, I've invited Lassie to join me in discussing Promising Young Woman, a film starring Carey Mulligan and is the first feature film by British director/writer/author/actress Emerald Fennell. She is a show runner for Killing Eve S2 and plays the part of the Duchess of Cornwell in the Crown. You might spot a girl like Cassie in a Friday night club. She's wasted – apparently, phoneless and friendless. 'Do you need help?' you ask and she takes the favor. Minutes later when you tell the cab driver to change the destination to your place, it is, however, you who have no idea how this night will unfold.We talk about how we love the unforgettable character Cassie yet can't help but feel doubtful of her motivation and if her plan can actually work. We try to read behind this enigmatic title, and discuss the costumes, music, and cinematography. Lassie also compares the film with Samaritan Girl《撒玛利亚女孩》and Pieta《圣殇》by Korean director Ki-duk Kim（金基德）, drawing attention to the atonement between women.While Cassie is not a good model, PYW is hilarious and heart-breaking at the same time; it is urgent and thoughtful. Highly recommended!01:40 Spoilers - film introduction13:17 Why the film is called Promising Young Woman when Cassie is neither promising nor young20:49 Cassie's behavior reminds Lassie of what happens between the female characters in Ki-duk Kim's Samaritan Girl and Pieta.32:06 Warning from Lassie: Do not follow Cassie's actions! They can be dangerous to you. 32:45 The relationship between Ryan and Cassie is a false glimmer. 43:15 Catherine finds hope from a lineless small character.musicToxic by Britney SpearsLast Laugh by FletcherLassie is the co-host of Rotten Cherry (search 一车烂话），a talk-show which you can find on almost any podcast platform.

欢迎收听第二季的“敏彻斯特评论”广播节目！今天这期，我来讲讲喜爱的歌手路易•汤姆林森（Louis Tomlinson）的故事。我将用五首歌曲，带你了解丝丝（昵称，虽然s不发音）从一名One Direction的乐队成员成长为一名优秀的solo歌手的历程。开头是我关于“粉丝如何讲述偶像故事”的一些思索，介绍丝丝从04:15开始。Hiiii Welcome to Season 2 of the Minchester Review! I'm very happy to introduce you to one of my favorite singers Louis Tomlinson. Through five tracks, I talk about his music and life.00:05 'Defenseless' - Early this Feb, this track single from Louis's debut Album WALLS was promoted by fans to reach No.1 on iTunes Worldwide Chart, one year after its release.08:40 'Strong' by One Direction – Louis is a co-writer of this one and he has written over 1/3 of 1D songs; Strong is one of my fav :)12:52 'Back To You' by Louis and Bebe Rexha – Fans see this duet a metaphor of Louis's not-always-smooth relationship with his label; highly recommend this MV! A duet that refuses to sexualize females.15:25 'Two of Us' – a song Louis dedicates to his late mother Jay.20:56 'Kill My Mind' – a Louis's favorite (and mine!) that tells much about his music inspirations (Oasis, Arctic Monkey etc) Before I start talking about Louis (from 04:15), I go through a question list that I've been thinking about lately: how do we (fans) tell the story of an artist that we like? How do we prove our point that (s)he is excellent/brave/inspirational? Where do we draw the line between their professional achievements and what happen to their personal life? How do we decipher the agenda of media coverage while relying on them as our limited sources? How do we find truth; how do we share passion; how do we talk about love?I guess that's the point of writing and talking about things on podcast; it is this process that requires me not just to collect 'evidences', to prove a point, but also to examine this process itself.I hope you like this episode; do check Louis's music!! xx

这集来聊聊《知晓我姓名》与《What Makes Us Stronger》，两本书都出自于勇敢的年轻女性之手，回顾了她们遭遇的巨大创伤，以及其自我拯救之路。These are the real-life stories of two brave young women. One is Chanel Miller, a rape survivor. Chanel authored Know My Name, a brilliant and beautiful memoir about her traumatic experience and how she was helped and self-helped to navigate the long and difficult trial process. Another is Freya Lewis, who survived the Manchester attack, which took her friend Nell's life and caused her 29 injuries. However, she managed to bounce back and ran 2.5 km one year after the attack while raising 60,000 GBP for the hospital.In Know My Name (01:10), what I found most touching and inspiring is how Chanel argues against the myth of 'perfect victim'. She is not perfect - and that makes her real, genuine, vulnerable, honest and brave. In What Makes Us Stronger (12:05), apart from the details of the attack, I also learnt about the stories behind the photos taken by 1D fan Freya and Harry who also comes from Holmes Chapel, and Louis who presented her with the NHS Hero Award. They are two truly inspiring books and I highly recommend them!music: Moonlight by Ariana Grande
