About Me

所有的流浪都歸咎於我, 歸咎與我無法停止的尋訪; 歸咎於我一路訴說的夢想; 歸咎於我貪戀流動的芬芳。 「只風吹星光顫,不休剩我,與永恆拔河」──余光中

Amy (艾美的世界)

    The story is about Amy, an eight-year-old child, who is rendered deaf and dumb after witnessing the electric shock death on stage of her rock star father during a rainstorm.
    The movie not only reveals the impact of experiencing the death of family on people who are still alive but also reflects some problems in our society.
    Amy seems to lose the ability to talk and hear. However, she can sing along with songs. The secret is found by Robert, the amateur musician who lives with his irascible sister in the shabby community. After witnessing her father’s death, Amy lives in her own world, the world which she had created since the tragedy begins. She refuses to gear or talk about anything except singing songs. In her hopeless, Amy felt it was she that had killed her father.
      In fact, this kind of thought isn’t strange at all, especially for those who have suffered from similar situations. “If I had done something, he might not have been dead…….” The dead will never be alive again, no matter how sad you are. Time will heal everything, little by little. After all, not everybody is as lucky as Amy in the movie.
   As for the social problems, social welfare communities and peoples’ concept of values seems to leave something to be desired. Indeed, many of us want to help others. By helping those who need help or who want help, our world will be more wonderful. Nevertheless, sometimes our help can be threat in some way. There isn’t absolute right or wrong in our world; your meat can be another’s poison!

  2. Although, I haven't seen the movie before, it seems a very good one. I know it's hard and takes alot of time for people to come through after those sufferings. But I'm curious about Amy, did she get better in the end?
