14 thoughts on “Wk#01 (1/18-1/21)

  1. 翻譯 - I am a movie director. The process in which I gradually became more familiar with our culture was like an elementary student first starting to learn characters. Furthermore, the introduction of our culture via my films should help all of us to once again pick up what we used to have: self-confidence, confidence in others, and confidence in the future. (or: confidence in ourselves, others, and the future.)

    很好! (孫老師1/21)

  2. 《我是一個電影導演,我愿像初學識字的小學生一樣,逐漸認識我們的文化,并通過我拍攝的電影介紹我們的文化,讓我們的文化幫助我們所有人重新拾起我們曾經擁有過的:對自己的信心,對他人的信心,對將來的信心。》

    I am a film director. First, I hope to instill knowledge to all the elementary school students to recognize and learn our culture. Through the movies that I shoot to present culture, our culture will assist all of us to gain back what we once had: our own confidence, others’ confidence, and the futures’ confidence.

  3. Quote from Chen Kaige’s speech on October 31, 2010: “I am a movie director. I want to portray [our culture] like the first knowledge of elementary students, by gradually becoming familiar with our culture. And through the movies I shoot, I introduce our culture. Our culture will help all of us once again pick up what we once had: self confidence, confidence in others, and confidence in the future.”

    很好!
    (孫老師 1/21)

  4. I am a film director, and I hope, just like a grade school student learning to read, to gradually understand our culture, and through my films, present our culture, letting our culture help us regain that which we once had: self-confidence, confidence in others, and confidence in the future.

    非常好! (孫老師 1/21)

    hmm, i just tried to post without logging in an it wouldn’t let me. but here is my translation anyway

    i am a movie director. i originally did small studies like a primary student. gradually i came to understand our culture. through my films there is a brief introduction of our culture, allowing every one to be helped by things put down and picked up again. self confidence, confidence in other, and confidence in the future

  6. I am a film director. I hope to resemble the knowledge of a grade school child, gradually becoming acquainted with our culture, and introduce out culture through the films I direct and make our culture help all of us re-understand the culture that we once had, opposing our own faith, the faith of others, and the faith the future holds.

  7. English Translation: “I am a film director. I started out by learning how to read, like everyone else. I gradually began to learn more about our culture. I shot this film in order to introduce our culture to others. Understanding our culture allows people to further understand the importance of: self confidence, confidence in others, and confidence in the future.”

  8. 《我是一个电影导演,我愿像初学识字的小学生一样,
    逐渐认识我们的文化,并通过我拍摄的电影介绍我们的文化,
    让我们的文化帮助我们所有人重新拾起我们曾经拥有过的:
    对自己的信心,对他人的信心,对将来的信心。》

    英文翻译:
    I am a film director, ever since I learned to read in primary school I have hoped to be one, and gradually coming to understand our culture by introducing it through my film-making has allowed our culture to help each person pick up what we once had: one’s own confidence, another person’s confidence, and the confidence of future generations.

  9. “I am a film director and since I started reading, like every other elementary school student, I was introduced to our culture. Through my movies I introduce our culture. I expect the movie to pick up part of our cultures: self confidence, confidence in others, and confidence in the future.”

    The futuristic shower contrasted with the traditional bathhouse.
    The futuristic shower contrasted with the car wash.
    The older son showing alone at night contrasted with all the old men together in the bathhouse during the day.

    第一惊有未来的洗澡机。 这个机对比跟老刘的澡塘。

    – 陳凱歌: 2010年10月31日
    I am a film director, I would like to become the first person to spread our (Chinese) culture through the film so that the people will gradually get to know our (Chinese) culture. One’s right confidence will lead to another’s right confidence, and to the right future confidence.

    wǒ shì yī gè diànyǐng dǎoyǎn, wǒ yuàn xiàng chū xuéshí zì de xiǎoxué shēng yīyàng, zhújiàn rènshi wǒmende wénhuà, bìng tōngguò wǒ pāishè de diànyǐng jièshào wǒmende wénhuà, ràng wǒmende wénhuà bāngzhù wǒmen suǒyǒu rén chóngxīn shí qǐ wǒmen céngjīng yōngyǒu guò de: duì zìjǐ de xìnxīn, duì tārén de xìnxīn, duì jiānglái de xìnxīn。

  14. I am a film director. I started out by learning like elementary students, gradually learning about our culture. I shot this film in order to introduce our culture to others, because having an understanding of our culture will allow people to further understand the importance of self confidence, confidence in others, and confidence in the future.
